L is net generally appreciated thas
thee are ea0rmous fortcles in single
pearls, and ghat a feT individuals aad
great p~otentites have jewels Of this sort
which arc literally worth a kings ran
SON. lii all the world there is 10 more
famous pearl than the Tavernier, now in
the possession of the shah Of Persia.
This remarkable gem came to this east
ern king by descent and is a genuinely
remarkable curiosity. It derives it's
name from having been sold by the tray
eler T%avernief 900 years ago to the then
ruler of Persia. The price then was
$500, 000. 1t is now worth, more than
$3.50, 900.
Another eastern king, the imam OF
Muscat, has in his collection a pearl
worth $165, 900, weighing 1915 carats,
Through it the daylight can be seen.
Princess ~Yousoupoff' s finest gem is won
derfully beautiful. Valued at $3.50, 900,
it was first heard of in 1890, when Geor-
gibus Of Calais sold it to Philip " Of
Spain. Eighty Thousand dollars is the
figure that it is Appropriated the pope's
pearl would bring. One Of Leo's prede-
cessors became possessed of it in a man
ner which has not been told, and it has
descended III regular course to the pres
ent incumbent Of St. Peters throne.
This, SO fur as is known, exhausts the
list Of truly celebrated pearls. There
are many remarkable pearl necklaces
whose value is extraordinary. These
necklaces are, made up gradually, pearl
after pearl being added to the set, and
leading Jewellers are constantly on the
lockout TO procure gems Of like rarity
to extend the chain. On the whole, pink
pearls are not especially valuable. black
ones bringing far higher prices, and
pearls that are white being sought next
after them. Queen Victoria of England
has q necklace Of pin pearls that is
worth $50. 900, and the dowager en-
press OF Germany one made Of 80 pearls
which would bring eacily S125, 900.
The Rothschild women have, how
ever, gems Of this sort that far exceed
in value those of royalty. Baroness Gus
taFd ue uotnscnllu possesses one made
up Of five row of pearls. the whole
chain being valued at $500, 900. Bar
oness Adolphe de Rothschild owns q
cirolet that in all probability would
fetch even at a forced sale $3.50, 600.
Even more brilliant, because it has
seven rows. is the necklace of the dow
ager empress of Russia. The gems,
however, are not quite as fine as those
in the Rothschild collection. The cas-
ket Of this royal lady is the most IA
nous in the world from a gem point of
view. Hardly second to it is that Of
the empress Of Austria, whose black
pearls are noted throughout Europe for
their extreme beauty and rarity.
What has become of the white pearls
Of the Empress Eugenie. sold at tha
close Of the Franco-Prussian war, has
never been made known. The value OF
these was some $50, 900. and they were
gathered together in a very beautiful
necklace that frequently graced the
neck of that unfortunate queen. New
York World.

Personally. have no friends I'm Rich

them with Bryan 81 ais. / think they
arc mistaken. and I think. further. that
tho refusal OF Daniel. Mclean. and others
10 run with Bryan sufficient proof OF the
correctness Of my opinion OF tho noml-

that he IS but a POpulist lie and his

situation. No one could possibly suppose
my description OF Bryan and his "as-
sociates" 10 apply 70 the Dispatch.
Whether the local politicians are or are

opinion.

THAT Errus,LoF GOLD.

Some persons who are believers I'm sound
money are unable 10 understand the fact
that "a gentleman who had large deposits
in two banks ia Richmond was unable TO
get d nfty-doIar check paid in gold by
either bank day o. 50 back.
Ne do not know what in that fact dis
Iuros these gentlemen. but we VIII state
some further facts which may relieve any
nnoapincss in their minds.
The country is upon IL gold basis and
every dollar In our financial system can
h easily converted into a gold dollar.
Whoever wants gold coin can &c; II by
sendng 10 the Treasury at Washington
United States greenbacks or the notes
issued by the Government under the act
Of Congress Of July a. 1880, commonly
called the sherman act All he has TO
do to get gold coin is TO pay the express
charges on his notes from here to Wash
,ngton and on his gold coin from Wash
ington back here.
Ii is entirely possible that the two banks
spp4.ou TO had no gold coin. There is no
occasion for bank to keep gold coin in
ats vaults. The Government notes and
silver coin are good as its reserves ana
II Is liable 10 have all Of the money Oh
hand In those notes and silver
IL - probable. however that both banks
did have gold coin. but that they were
unwilling to part with it. The alarming
state of affairs ana the possibility that
i1ree silver may carry the country is
making all men incline towards holding
ron to any gold they may get. II these
banks had any gold they were affected ~
the prevailing alarm and preferred 10
keep it.
We are on gold basis. however. and
we shall continue there while Mr.. Cleve-
land remains President. The proof Of il
IS that any one can get gold coin who
VIII send Government notes to Washing
ton and demand it OF the Treasury.
Meantime the gold that is IN the country
IS playing its part in the currency sys-
TEN 10y being he'd as part Of the re-
