The London Times tells of a Ceylon
sapphire now IN that city, the property
of Maj. Gen. Robley, which is not less
remarkable for its size than for its
translucency and the brilliance of the
optical effects it can show. The weight
of the gem is 69S carats, and it is of a
dark, milky blue color, perfectly trans
parent and flawless. Larger sapphires
have been known, but they have usual
ly, if not always, been dull and muddy,
instead of having the clear, translu-
cent color of this specimen.

THE minimum height in the mikado's

feet, that in the Italian army 5 feet l

Japan docs not often exceed feet A
is wonderful uniformity observable in

and this fact operates bencficially in

In Bloomsbury, England, the other
night lady, being awakened by a
noise, opened the door, to be confront
ed by an utter stranger. The position
was SO entirely novel that the conven-

The only remark that occurred to her
was: WHO arc you? With equal
franlkness he replied, Il am burglar, "
Then, perceiving that this failed to
put her at ease, he added: But very
quiet one" The entrance of the po-
lice put an end to what promised to be
a very interesting description of his
character and methods of procedure.

tied policy is to KEEP out Of foreign en-

Adams was inclined to Madison's opin-

first and fundamental maxim should be
never to entangle ourselves in the broils
of Europe (See Schouler's History Of
the United States, Vol ILL.,. p. 2Ss.)
There was no alliance, open or tacit,

referred to. though England was as
anxious for an alliance then as now, not
in the interest Of civilization and lib

promotion of her own commercial inter-
ests From what We read in the Times
itself, Salisbury appears to be more sue
cessfui with Hay on the alliance affair
than was Canning with Rush. The Times
correspondent at Washington says of
Hay: He has been in closer touch with
the English people in matters of COM
merce than Lowell Or Phelps, Lincoln
or Bayard, and his friends here assert
that he is in sympathy with English
contention as against Russia, Germany
and France combined
The Times thinks that it is prejudice
against England that actuates the Irish
Standard in its opposition to an Anglo
American alliance of any kind, and that
the United States should absolutely re-
Ject everything in the nature OF kindness
from England because Irishmen don't
like Englishmen.' That is an unwar-
ranted assumption on the part of the
Times. The Irish Standard, in conform
ity with the Declaration of Independ-
ence. would treat Englishmen like the
rest or mankind-"as enemies in war,
III PEACE friends. This paper has no
antlpathy against Englishmen as such,
and we take this opportunity to repudi-
ate the allegation that ''Irishmen donk
IKE Engllshmen. Individually, they
IKE then better than they do the Angli-
clzed creature who edits the Times, but
collectively, as the tyrannical rulers OF
ireland, they desire to sever the legis-

men, by constitutional means il possible,
but by violent means if feasible. Does
the Times blame Irishmen fer trying to
get national liberty?
But we shall drop the Times here, and
