A LAWYER HIRED BY THE DAY
He Quit This Peculiar Job Precisely
Time.

With the name of Rufus Lockwood is
recalled to mind one of the most extraor-
binary geniuses that the state of Cali
fornia ever produced. 1t is many years
now since Lockwood held sway in the
courts of San Francisco. He was in his
day, perhaps the best lawyer in the state,
and II was only because OF his utter in
difference to pecuniary matters that he
did not leave large fortune behind him.
says the San Francisco Bulletin.
Lockwood went at one time to Horace
Halves, very distinguished lawyer, and
the author of the consolidation act which
is now in force. Halves had a reputation
for close figuring and Lockwood knew
1t. He said mr. Halves, I'll hire my
self to you for one year from date at a
salary of $25 day, payable every night"
"All right said Halves, delighted to
engage the services Of the brightest mind
in the state at so low a figure-for the
salary was not great one in those days
and the bargain was sealed. 1t was IL
o'clock in the morning. But from that
time on, 1t is said, Halves never missed an
opportunity of reminding Lockwood of
his bondage. He would say in the pres
ence OF others, Lockwood, go fetch that
book; Lockwood, do this or that" etc
Lockwood never said a word, but did as
he was hidden, and Halves enjoyed his
triumph.
ihdiiy IL came 10 the udy Wnen Inc
years engagement terminated. There
was most important lawsuit on hand,
which Lockwood had made a careful
study Of; no one in the state could pos
sibly have handled it as he did. Well.
on the day in question Lockwood stood
in court, an array of Lax books in front
of him, and eXpounded his views in mas
terly fashion. Suddenly he looked up at
the clock and saw that it was the hour
of II. Closing the book from which lie
was quoting, he turned to Halves, who
was sitting beside him, and saiA: mfr.
Halves, year ago today at this hour 1
contracted to work for you one year.
My times up, the contract is cancelled
and l am going"
Thus did he repay his master for the
humiliation heaped upon him. Halves
was in the greatest CONSERVATION. lie
could not possibly take up the thread of
the case where Lockwood had left it,
and he begged and implored him to pro-
coed. But Lockwood remembered and
he turned deaf ear to all persuasions.
He kept his word; the contract had ex-
pired.

Establishing a. Base of Operation in
the Far North.

The expedition to Jones Sound planned
for 1897, is intended to initiate a system
of continuous scientific exploration. It's
object is scientific research, and to this
all else will be subordnated. Special at
tention will be paid to geology Disasters
having been plainly due to lack of
secure and almost accessible base, the
first object will be the establishment of
a base at the mouth of Jones Sound,
which julius Won Payer calls the ore
spot most suitable for such a base"
Being assured of annual communica lion

Toned party. with some Eskimo families.

Such a system, once initiated, will cost
very little. Lecturng tours and the sale
of collections will defray a large part of
the cost. Considering the enormous sums
spent on arctic exploration in the past by
governments and by individuals. it seems
probable that when the system is once
in running order il will not lack patrons
The cost of the initial expedition is os
timated at 5000. Much smaller sums
will probably suffice in subsequent years

HE PUT THE DIAMOND IN HIS LEG
A Cincinnati Mans story of the Or
Ion Precious stone.

Gus Fox, dealer in diamonds on
Fourth street. has a story about the ia
nous Orlof diamond. named after Count
Orloff, the first European who bought it.
Fox says: 1T was originally the eye of
an idol in Trichinopoli. 1t was stolen. ac-
cording TO the accepted account, by
Frenchman, who escaped with it to Per
STA, where he sold it for the equivalent in
our money of s., 900 to a Jewish merchant.
1.-The Jewish merchant sold 1t to
Armenian named Shafras. who had trav-
eled in Russia, and conceived the idea OF
taking the diamond to that country and
selling il to the Empress Catherine for
great sum. Safras paid him $4,000 for it.
Having secured the stone, the next
question with Shafras was how to get it
to Russia, or rather how to conceal it
when he was searched by robbers as he
was sure be on the road.
1.-The journey was a long and perilous
one, and thieves abounded everywhere.
Shafras thought of swallowing the stone
when he should be taken by the robbers,
but was obliged to give that plan up. as
the diamond was too large to swallow.
He began to feel he had a white ele-
plant on his hands, when a thought oc-
Cured to him. He procured a sharp
lance. made a cut in the fieshy part of his
left leg and thrust the diamond into the
die and a silver wire. 1t healed, leaving
the diamond embedded fast in his leg
quite out of sight.
Then he started for Russia. On the
way he was seized by robbers again
and again, and was thoroughly search
ed. Being an Armenian, and suspected
of going to Russia TO trade. the thieves
marveled greatly at finding nothing of
value upon his person
He arrived in Russia at last, and at
ter extracting his diamond. visited the
empress. He was willing to sell it for
about $780, 900, but the empress had not SO
large an amount available in cash for
the purchase. and Shafras preferred to
so on to Amsterdam. the seat of the dia-
mond cutting industry, where he had the
stone polished.
Here Count Orloff an extremely
wealthy Russian, saw the diamond, and
was filled with determination to secure
II for the Russian crown. He did secure
1t, but Shafras eXacted from the Russian
government 100000 an annuity of go
goo and title of nobility. He died a mil
lionare.
The Orlon diamond weighs 1875 carats
and is about the size of a pigeons egg.
1t is smaller than the Koh-i-nor, in the
possession of the English queen, which is
supposed to be worth 50. $50. 00O.-Cincin-

THE BOYS LETTER TO THE CzAR
Way in Which His Childish Trust
Was Rewarded.

Some time ago the attention of a Phila-
delphia mother was attracted to her little
boy by the fact that he lay at full length
on the library floor. evidently deeply in
volved in the intricacies of letter writing.
All inquiries as to the Durport and pro-
posed distinction of the laborous pro-
duction failed to elicit further remark
than an advice to wait while" At
last the missive ended with a scrawling
superscription and an immense sigh of
relief. and it was proudly borne to the
father and mother that they might be
afforded an opportunity of expressing
their entire appreciation, which was evil
IDENTIFY expected. Imagine their surprise
when their eyes fell upon the following.
says the Philadelphia Ledger
Dear Gar: Since the death of your
father you must have received "A great
deal of foreign postage stamps on letters
from your friends who were sorry for
you. ! am collecting postage stamps and
if you Will please send me good lot of
yours l will send you some American
ones i'm return"
The parents first laughed at the idea.
but the little man was so evidently pleas
ed with this idea of his young brain that
they finally determined to allow him to

fall beneath the royal gaze. With both
the parents and the child the thing was
already fast becoming a thing of the for
gotten past, when the mail of a few
mornings ago brought the young fellow

the seal Of arms of the royal house of
Russia To the little fellows delight he
found, on opening it, that it was packed
with stamps of an nationalities The la
bored missive had evidently reached it's
destination, and had spelled out TO the
heart of the man. in all the excitement
of his coronation ceremonies, such a
message of childish innocence as made
refusal impossible
