The distinguished millionaire, Chas- Broad

with princely HberaIity the founding of {
grand Memorial Building which wiz prove tc
the South what Westminster Abbey is Il
England, viz. the shrine of sacred memories
heroic deeds, uuseifish devotion and lofty sac

and recall the past, and drink from its fonn

the idea conceived entirely in his brain. the
heart of his native Southland gratefully ant
lovingly responds; and, uniting its actor
with his, the scattered relics of the Lost Gauss
will, AT LAST find permanent and worthy
resting place.
From Rio Grande's turbid stream
To Potomac's sunny banks,

Our dead in mournful ranks.
With dropping flag and mufiied drum
They move with stately tread;
Bearing to their long long home,
The relics of the dead.
The color bearer grave and pale,
Who oft in action bfed;
When cannon swept both hill and dale
and peerless StoneWulI ledf
The flag is old and bullet torn.
Bereft of pride and life,
And they who follow, sad, forlorn,
AS wearied with the strife.
And with them moves the gallant boy,
Whose drum the signal gave;
The prattiing lad, his mothers joy,
Now silent as the grave,
Aud Stewart, of the banner gay;
''The eyes and cars of Lee"
And Hill and Ransom lead the way
Loved sons of victory.
Stern Braxton Bragg and onc-armcd Hood;
Brave Cleburne on his gray;
Johnston from Shiloh's field of blood
Pass by in sad array:
Gallant Forrest with dropping head
In Silent sorrow rides;
With him the heroes that he led
Each as shadow glides.
They came not to war again
For freedom and for right;
But homage pay to comrades slain
In brave, but hopeless fight.
This duty done they turned to Lee,
The chosen of their band.
With heads bowed low aud bended knee
To hear his loved command.

Mischievous Mime. Malibran.

No prima donna was ever more de-
lightfully oapricious, more full of mis-
chief than the famous Nine. Malibran.
At the rehearsals of "Romeo and Ju-
liet" she could never make up her mind
where she was to Idle" at night. 1t was
important for Romeo to know, but all
he could get was mot sure" "don't
know, "can't tell, or sit will be just
as it happens, according to my humor;
sometimes in one place, sometimes in
another" On one occasion she chose
to "die" close to the footlights, her COM
panion, of course, being compelled to
"die" beside her, and thus, when the
curtain fell, couple of footmen had to
carry the pair off, one at time, to the
intense amusement of the audience.
John Templeton, the fine old Scottish
tenor, was probably never so miserable
as when he was cast to sing with Mali
bran. Very often she was displeased
with his performance, and one evening
she whispered to him, you are not
acting properly; make love to me bet
ter" to which, SO it is said, Templeton
innocently replied, Don't you know l
am q married mani" Evidently the
lady did not think there was anything
serious in the circumstance, for not long
afterward, when in "Somnambula"
she was on her knees to Templeton as
Elvino, she succeeded in making the
tenor scream with suppressed laughter
when he should have been singing by
tickling him vigorously under the arms.

New Gowns For Easter.

The women who adorn themselves with
fine garments on Easter morning are but
following the superstition of their faraway
forefathers in Saxon England, for to wear
old clothes on that day will bring sad
crosses in lore. In Poor Robin the an
cient custom responsible for this modern
law of fashion is referred to thus:
At Easter let your clothes be new,
Or else be sure you will it rue.

Easter Card.


There are many ways of coloring and
ornamenting Easter eggs. A simple way
is to sew them up in highly colored
prints before boiling. There is one way
to engrave eggshells. Take an egg that
has been blown and stop up the ends
with wax. Then write or draw any de.
sign desired with varnish or tallow
Then drop the egg into weak acid like
vinegar. In little while tho acid will
decompose the lime in the shell, except
where the lines are marked by the var
nish or tallow, and the latter will stand

haps $40, would sell for $1f0 when cut and polished, and the refuse or leav ings from the cutting might bring a tidy sum besides. The value, however, does not depend alone upon the weight of the stone. but 1t is affected also by blemishes and impurity of color. It is the stone with a blemish, which is some- times left i'll it in the hope that tho ignorant and inexperienced purchaser may not discover it, which goes to the diamond cutter second time, that the eonnoisseur thinks needs cutting and necessarily reducing to take the blemish out of, and thus increased it's brilliancy and value.
 Less than 15 years ago two diamond cutters cut and finished all the rough diamonds which came to this market. In fact, there was not a suffioiency of work even for these two workmen, for the brilliants were nearly all imported in finished state, ready for setting iii any shape for the wearers. But the du- ties upon these became an important matter, as there was nothing to pay up- on the rough stone, at least nothing to speak of, and the finished article cost high because of the demands of Uncle Sam. He argued that people who could
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1895-02-15

afford to wear diamonds should bo will ing to pay high for the privilege. This matter of duty paid to the customs off, cers became an incentive to the dia- mond cutting profession, and the num- Der of workmen was increased and tho inventive genius of our bright Ameri- can inventors set at work to make labor saving machines for cutting and polish ing diamonds
 Another fact that increased the incen- tive to encouraging American diamond cutters was that the work on the bril- liants was too frequently done in care less manner in Europe, particularly out side of the Dutch city of Amsterdam, and that American workmen could much better satisfy the critical taste of our people who deal in and wear pre- cious stones, for the trade takes in all precious stones as we'll as diamonds. At that time the difference between dia- mond imported and one cut and finished here was so marked that the demand for stones finished here was greatly in- creased, and within five years some six more diamond cutters had established themselves in New York, and all had more work than it was possible for them todo. The eight diamond cutters dressed

 Very few people who are fortunate enough to be able to wear diamonds know what amount of labor has been expended upon them from the time they were mined until finally they appear in the showcases of the jewellers ready for use. Fewer still are aware of the fact that the labor Of the cutter and polisher adds at least $10 carat to the value of the uncut diamond.

Last Remnants of the Worlds Fair.

The last of the races of other lands
who came to the Worlds Columbian
Exposition have just returned home.
People who have walked much during
the last year on State street. between
Washington and Randolph streets,
must have noticed the Ceylonese who
were used by the Ceylon Tea Company
as advertisements. They were four
man and wife and two children. They
came here at the opening of the Ex-
position, under the care of the Ceylon
Commissioners. They were part of
that vision of beauty which delighted
millions, but which no longer exists.
After the gates closed the family was
brought downtown. For year they
were at the teahouse on State street,
and even city people used to tarry and
look at them. Last week they left
Chicago for their home, where the
spicy breezes blow, 20, 900 miles away.
They were the last human remnant of
the Exposition. They will have a
strange story to tell when they get
back. Chicago Tribune.
