LEGENDS OF THE DIAMOND.
Many Curious Superstitions Associat-
ed With the Gem.

Diamond was the name Of beauti-
| full youth of the Island of Crete, one
of the attendants of the infant Jupiter
in his cradle. Diamond, not to be
subject to the ills that flesh is heir
to-" was transformed into the hardest
and most brilliant substance in nature.
In Arabic and Persian works on nat
ural history Aristotle is generally
qroted a. the chief authority for the
story of the inaccessible valley of dia-
Il lords, where it was the custom to
throw down pieces of flesh as the only
means Of procuring the gems. Vul-
lures picked uI these with the preci-
GUS stones attached TO them and
dropped them in their flight on vari-
Gus parts of the earth. Marco Polo, who
Lrs We'd i'll India in the thirteenth CEN
fury, gave much the same account Of
the method Of procuring diamonds.
One of tie adventures of Sinbad the
Sailor in "The Arabian Nights, is
almost identical, and Epiphauius, in
the fourth century writes to much the
same effect. The diamond was called
adamas, which means indomitable 1t
was never pounded and takes internal
ly like other stones, because it was
considered indigestible. The dia-
moJd had the virtue Of besttwing vic
tory and fortitude. It Gained anger

STOLE HORSES AND WAGON.

Watertown, Wis, April 3.-Horse
thieves stole a team of horses and a
wagon from the premises Of Chris.
Wiesenberg, a farmer residing five
miles north of this city. The team
was valuable. The robbery was
very daring one.

Sc literally has Queen Victoria been

French decoration, few escapes it."
Even railway officials and household
servants have been recipients of the

majesty becomes less lavish of her

Washington, April 5.-The senate by
unanimous vote adopted a resolution
on the reports that Gen. Ruiz Rivera,
the Cuban commander, is about to be
tried by a drumhead courtmartial and
shot, and expressing the judgment of
the senate that, if these reports are
true, the president of the United States
should protest to the Spanish govern
ment against such a violation of the
rules of civilized warfare. This resO-
luton does not go to the house of rep
resentatives and became effective as a
measure of advice to the president by
its adoption by the senate. Messrs.
Hoar and Hale fought to have the reso-
luton sent to a committee but MeGsrs
Allen and Gallinger violently opposed
that proposition. The debate was very
lot at times.

ate on the unconstitutionality Of tariff
taxes beyond those requisite for rev.
eIue. He severely criticised trusts ard
combinations which he declared reaped
the main advantage Of tariff taxes.
I'VE cannot" he said, serve the
people ana the money power at the
same time. Their interests are direct
y antagonistic. What is for the COM
mon welfare is against the trusts. =
The house amendments to the senate
joint resolution appropIistin $3.50, 900
for the saving of life and property
along the Mississippi river was agreed
to.
In the house the democrats
pressed the question of duty
on hides for the benefit of the farmer
With such vigcr that Mr.. Hepburn
rep, Ia, was drawn into the debate
and made a strong plea for dutiable
hides. He demanded that the house
be given an opportunity to vote on
this question and declared that every
western republican was in favor of it.
Mr.. Cannon rep, ILL., also gave a
qualified endorsement to this demand.
The republican leaders defended their
bill with vigor. The ways and means
committee held the floor with its
an Ell dments from 10 o'clock in the
morning to 4 in the afternoon. About
80 were considered and adopted.
Among them was one admitting free
of duty books, scientific apparatus,
charts, maps, ETC., for scientific and
educational purposes. After that,
five more pages of the bill were read,
me- king 20 pages in all of the 1872 pages
OF the bill.

Washington, March 31.-The open
session of the senate lasted
less than half an hour 1t was pro-
ductiye of another Cuban resolution by
Senator Mills calling on the committee
on foreign relations for a report on
the obligations assumed by the United
States in insisting that Cuba should
not be annexed to any European power
and snn'.ld remain subject to Spain.
Mr.. Hale's objection sent the resolution
over.
Washington, March 31-The victory
of the republicans in the house
was complete. They presented an uR-
broken front to the opposition. All
rumors that dissatisfaction with par
ticular schedules of the Dingley tariff
bill might lead some of them to break
over party traces proved unfounded.
On the other hand five democrats, one
more than anticipated, braved the party
whip and gave the bill the approval
of their votes. These five democrats
are interested particularly in the sugar
schedule. Three came from Louisiana
and two from Texas. One pOpulist,
Mr.. Howard of Alabama voted for the
bill. The vote on the final passage
Vi the bill stood 205 to 1872; present and
not voting, p; majority, SO.

Oluti0n directing the secretary Of the

adopted. The resolution of Mr. Mills

England In Egypt.

Sometime ago it was asserted
that Great Britain would have to
get out of Egypt, or that France
and Russia would force her to re-
tire; but the latest rumors indi-
cate that the Khedlve is to be de-
posed, in order to the establish
ment Of a British protectorate,
and that Russia has effectualIy
snubbed France for attempting
to make the Egyptian question
(of occupation) a European one.
Such reports go to show that
England's hold there is stronger
than ever.

FadS i'm Medicine.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and a "new
thing frequently sells for a short
time simply because it is new.
But in medicine, as in nothing
else, the people demand and will
be satisfied only with positive,
absolute merit. The fact that
Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood its
ground against all competition,
and it's sales have never wavered
but have remained steadily at the
top, demonstrates, beyond any
doubt, the intrinsic virtues of this
medicine. The new things have
come and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
parilla rests upon the solid foun-
dalton O. absolute merit ard its
power to cure, and it's sales con-
tinue to be the largest in the
world.

The great state of New York
furnished first-class example of
tidal wave politics on last Tues
day. In 1896 the cities and
towns that so to make up the
Greater New York gave McKin-
ley a plurality of $4,000. Last
Tuesday in the same territory
Van Wyck, the democratic cam
didate for mayor, received a plu-
rality of $4,000. In 1896 the
state gave Mckinley a plurality
of $4,000. On last Tuesday
Judge Parker, the democratic
candidate for chief justice, re-
ceived $4,000 plurality, a demo-
cratic gain of 100000. In addi-
ton to this the democrats won
with good majorities in nine of
the largest and most important
cities in the state, which include
some of the manufacturing CEN
tiers of the country.

A special adjourned meeting Of
the city council will be held to-
morrow evening for the purpose
of considering the bond question.
The first proposition was to bor-
row only $4,000 for the sole pur-
pose of erecting an electric light
plant. This was revised at the
last meeting of the council and it
is now proposed to include an ad-
ditional $40, 900 with which to en-
able the city to redeem all out
standing scrip and establish our
finances on cash basis. The re-
vised or last proposition is by all
odds the most feasible and bust
ness like. 1t is just what any
business man in Ocala would do
for himself under similar clrcum-
stances. The outstanding scrip
is running at per cent. interest
and is a Judgment against our
city. The bonds can be disposed
of at per cent. interest without
any trouble and this iniquitous
scrip system will be a thing Of
the past. The sentiment of the
council seems to be unanimous in
favor of issuing part or all of the
bonds in small denominations and
give local capitalists an opportu-
nifty to take as many of them as

will be carried by a large major
