The Pitt Diamond.

The Pitt diamond was found by a
slave in the Partial mines on the Kistna
in 17O1, and he escaped to the coast with
it. Unfortunately, he took an English
skipper into his secret. The skipper
took him on board, and, having OBJ
tanned possession of the jewel, flung the
slave into the sea- He afterwards sold
the diamond, squandered the money In
dissipation, and finally, in fit Of de-
lirium tremens and remorse. not in
appropriately hanged himself.
Meantime the diamond had come into
the hands of Thomas Pitt, Governor of
Fort st. George, against whom certain
charges were made in connection with
1t. In an account of his dealings with
1t which he wrote, Pitt said he bought
1T from diamond merchant named
Jamchund for something over EGO, 900.
The diamond was cut in London, and in
the process-which lasted two years-it
was reduced 40 to 1864 carats. In
1I17 the Duke Of Orleans purchased it
for t135, 900, and as the dust obtained
in the cutting was valued at from f7 900
to tS,OOO, Pitt must have netted at least
t1OO,OOO by his venture. with this he
restored the fortunes of the ancient
house Of Pitt, which was destined later
on to give England two Of her greatest
statesmen and orators
Pitt must have been glad to get rid Of
the jewel, for he knew little rest while
it was in his possession He was con-
stantly haunted by the fear Of losing
CT being robbed of it, so that it was
with great difficulty he could ever be
induced to exhibit it, even to his most
intimate friends While he had it, Pitt.
1t is said, never slept two nights run
ming under the same roof HE moved
Iabout capriciously or in disguise, and
never gave previous notice Of his ar
rival to or departure from town" In
1892 the whole of the French regalia
disappeared, and with it the Pitt"
now the Regent" diamond. It was
afterwards recovered, however, and is
now to be seen at the Louvre It has
been estimated to be worth f4SO 0OO.-

The Society of Kings Daughters of the
Christian Church gave lemon
squeeze" social at the residence of Mrs.
Tappin, 12OS Tenth street, last evening.
A merry company of about fifty gath
cred and enjoyed themselves till a late
hour. The literary part of the pro-
gramme, after a prayer by Rev. Dem
ton. was: Piano solo, Gertie Tappin;
recitation, Eva Bottomly; vocal solo,
Jessie Mclean; guitar and mandolin
duet, Messrs. Atop and Johnson; recita-
ton, Ella Ivey; guitar solo, Mr.. Atop,
and the last number was liberal supply
of lemons served in two dishes, those in
each dish being numbered consecutively
l, 2, 3, ETC., and one dish being served
to ladies, the other to the gents, the
corresponding numbers of the two
dishes, viz the two number ones and the
two number twoS, ETC., were partners
for the remainder of the evening. After
partners had been found one couple at
a time were compelled to pass through a
room alone and unseen, it taking some
minutes for them to make the passage
and all were 10th to tell why, but it was
guessed that they were squeezing the
juice out of the lemons they carried to
make the lemonade for the evening. 1t
is an unsolved and open question, how
ever, whether it was the lemons or the
Kings Daughters, most Of whom were
dressed in lemon color, that got the
worst squeezing. The latter part of the
evening was spent socially, and after re-
freshments were served all adjourned,
after expressing themselves as to the
pleasures of the gathering and wishing
such could be had oftener.

Curious Fish in Lake GaIilee.

In the Sea of Galilee-or Lake Tiber-
las, as it is often called-there is a
strange fish named the Chromis ST.
monis, which is more careful of its
young than fish generally are. The
male fish takes the eggs in it's mouth and
keeps them in his natural side pockets,
where they are regularly Matched, and
remain until able to shift for them
selves. By this ingenious arrange
ment the brood is comparatively guard
ed against it's natural enemies; 1t is
easily fed, too, but it is a puzzle how the
little ones escape being eaten alive. A
month ago, says a traveller, I found in
my net a number of Chromis Simonis
without eyes. Others of the species,
when I lifted them up, dropped a num-
Der of little fishes out Of their mouths,
which swami away hastily.-Public

What insufferable nonsense is Nc
Nally's farce comedy" THE Night
Clerk as presented by Peter Dailey's
company at the Metropolitan Theater
last night. Clever people in the troupe,
competency for real fun production and
all that, but Heavens, what superhu-
man efforts to be witty and what colos-
sal failures. And by the way, since
comeliness on the stage appears to be
so much in demand, how comes it that
Daley rustled so hard to corrall all the
plain women in the land and put them
upon the roster of his company? Why
is it that when playwright attempts to
construct low comedy that if he names
it farce comedy (whatever that may
mean) he produces something-as a rule
utterly plotless, witless and idiotic
All the laugh there is in such pieces
excepting some of Hoyt's and a few
others) is due to the contortions and
actions of the actors, and to slang and
plays upon slang. Take the case Of
Daley with his clever people. himself
Jennie Yeaman, Miss Parker, J. c..
Sparks, Raymond Hitchcock and the
others, with a play just as broad, just
as slangy, just as absurd, there still
might be a story, a connected plot, a
real purpose, and the consequence
would be greater success by the Daley
company. Perhaps, however, success
is not that at which he aims; If rot
brings in coin perhaps he is just as well
pleased. If so, herein is an example of
the prostitution Of the stage to low de-
vices.
