phosphorescent Diamonds.

1hOSpuOTeSCeut DAdAAAOAuos
The French investigator M. Mascart
arranged dark room, in which col
lection of 15O diamonds was placed. On
one side was an alternating current arc
lamp. The lens was covered with violet
covered glass, so that only ultra violet
rays were thrown on the diamonds,
among which were several old Indian,
Brazilian and Cape stones, and some
from the South Africa diggings. OF the
entire collection only three diamonds
were phosphorescent. A Brazilian stone
of ia carats and another Of 8 carats
showed this property in marked
degree. They were perfectly white,
with BLUSH tint. The phosphorescence
lasted for 15 minutes after exposure,
gradually lessening in intensity. Pure
white light was used, resulting in a
less beautiful experiment, although
phosphorescence was apparent. This test
demonstrated that some diamonds, but
not all, possess the power of absorbing
light and emitting it in the dark.
Deafness is more prevalent IN cold
than in warm countries, the ears being
sensitive To changes of temperature.

Notice that q profound mystery is
attached to these italian hostelries.
No hotel register tells the names of
those who stopped at those taverns;
there is no old account book as to how
many drank there; there is no broken
chalice or jug to suggest what was the
style Of liquid which these customers
consumed. So an awful mystery hangs
about the bar rooms Of the modern
taverns. Oh! If they would only keep
book upon the counter, or d scroll
that could be unrolled from the wall,
telling how many homesteads they
have desolAted, and how many immor,
tai souls they have blasted. You say

you and turned on the wrong road,
dragging after them bleeding parental
hearts; how many people who prom

til death did them part, were brought

the tears of all the orphanage and
widowhood that you have pressed out
were gathered together how wide
would be the lake, or how long the
river? All! they make no answer. On
this subject The modern taverns are &c
silent as the orient tai three taverns, but
there are millions Of hearts that throb
with most vehement condemnation,
and many Of them would go as far as
ahe mother in Oxford, Mass,
whose son had been long
absent from home and WAS returning,
and at the tavern on the way he was
persuaded to drink. and that one drink

SACRAMENTO, April 25.-Leffing-

o'clock, and went into camp near the
city on the rivers bank. Sheriff John
son. his deputies and several police Of
ficers went down there and met Letting

into the city. They warned the invaders
that the first man found begging would
be locked up for vagrancy. The officers
then went to the camp and guards were
placed to prevent any of the men leav-
ing during the night, as the officers say
they recognized many old offenders
among them. Lefiingwell said they
wanted to get east, and would try to
do so some way. An hour later he was
arrested for visiting a Chinese house
of ill-fame and locked up. He had $13.S 80
in his pockets. The city officials have
not yet determined what to do with the
army. but the men will probably be
given a chance to either break rock for
their food or leave. They will probably
all leave when 1t comes to a question
of work or get out. 1t is said that be-
fore leaving Stockton they swapped off

PARIS, April 25.-The outcome or an
article of M. Clemenceau in the Echo
de Paris was a duel with swords this
morning between NJ. Clemenceau and
Prince Caraman de Chimay. Both men
were wounded simultaneously, Clemen-
ceau receiving a cash in the right arm
and the prince a slight scratch on the
shoulder.
M. Clemenceau's article in the Echo de
Paris characterized the interference
with the right of the Princess de Chimay
to appear at the Folies Bergere as
shameful. The writer said her fortune
was entirely spent before she was di-
vorced and that the SEQ per night for
which she had been engaged. would help
to keep her not merely from descending
to lower level, but also provide clothes,
food and other comforts of life.
What business" said the writer, had
the prefect of Paris or any higher per-
sonage to prevent her from going upon
the stage OF the Folies Bergere? What
was the honor of the Chimay family to
them?"
The Prince de Chimay sent challenge
to NJ. Clemenceau by Solbrig, the we'll
known fencing master, and M. de Berda.
NJ. Clemenceaus seconds We're M. George

may refused to allow the matter to be

upon an apology or duel. NJ. Clemen-
ceau declined to apologize. The Prince
de Chimay chose swords and the figh.

ripping a severe wound in the shoulder
of his antagonist, between the great
pectoral muscle and the deltoid. The
flesh was torn off on the point OF the
sword. but no serious consequences are

means, in reply to ex-President Cleve-
lands criticism at the Reform club din
ner last night that the Republican party
won the late election on its declaration

any other iesue.
Nothing could be clearer than that
the pledges OF the party made 1t its
first duty to provide sufficient revenue to
carry on the government without bor-
rowing in time of peace and the adjust
ment of duties on imports to the end to
encourage industries of the United
States, stricken by unfair competition.
"If the Republican party should fail
at the beginning of its lease of power to
do these things, it could be justly held
"As to the responsibility which rests
upon the party 70 preserve e sound cur
rency, rest assured there will be no
failure; indeed the triumph of the party
was an assurance which had been ac-

"There is undoubtedly need at the earli-
est possible date of some legislation to
improve our currency system, but no one
knows better than the gentlemen who are
criticising the Republican party that If
such legislation should be taken up today
