THE STORY OF A PEARL.
Interesting History of One Exhibited

Interesting History of One Exhibited
 in Cincinnati.
 A pearl valued at $10,000 is on ex- hibition in jewelry store window in Vine street. Nor is the pearl with out a history. MT. Smith purchased it from Julius Pedrazolli, descend ant of the royal house of Italy. The pearl is over loo years old and it's story is an interesting one. A party of pearl divers were plying their trade in the waters of the East Indian seas. A sudden eommotion among the work CTS told of the presence of their dead ly enemy, man-eating shark. All but one escaped, and his companions were mortified as they watched the poor fellow struggling in the water, unable to render him assistance. By great ef- fort they succeeded in rescuing the Upper p.srt of the body from the yo- raeious fish and bore the mangled re- mains to the house of the grief-striek- en parents. The day before the bur- ial this almost priceless pearl was found in the mouth of the dead man. The pearl was sold to koloko, na tive chief, and for many years remain ed in the royal family of the tribe. In 1880 Julius Pedrazolli, an Italian traveller, saw the pearl, and, attracted 1 by it's perfect shape and beauty, he bought it from the tribe, together with the crude gold setting and ring made by the native jewellers. Mr. Smith purchased it from Pedrazolli and claims that the pearl has no equal in i the United States. The pearl weighs 46 grains, and in daylight it's beauti- ful hues are dazziing.-Cincinnat Commercial-Tribune.
 Curious Rescue.
 A curious rescue was effected recent ly in the County Wicklow, Ireland. Some time in April last an unfortunate sheep became imprisoned on a part of the rugged cliffs arising from the banks of the Upper Lake Glendalough, and though many plans were proposed to get it down, no one was found will- ing to undertake the risk, when a gen. tleman from South Africa volunteered to rescue the poor animal. After an arduous and exciting climb, he man. aged to reach the spot, and, having at taehed a rope to the sheep. it was lowered to the lake, where boat was ready to receive it. So hungry was 1e poor brute that when dangling in the air it tried to bite at the tufts of grass on the face of the cliff. IL must have died of starvation in very few days more, as every bit of herbage within reach was nibbled to the earth Some idea of the risk this rescuer ran may be gathered from the fact that this particular spot has always beer considered inaccessible, and that il took tle gentleman fully two hour: to make the ascent The lake under the cliff is forty fathoms deep.

"Once upon time, when Nine. Alboni
was at Trieste writes Henry c. Lahee in
Famous Singers of Today" 'she was IN
formed of the existence of plot to hiss her
off the stage Having ascertained the names
of her detraetors and where they were to
be found she donned male attire, her short
hair and robust figure helping to complete
her disguise, and went to the cafe at which
the consplrators met. Here she found them
in full consultation, and, taking a seat at a
table, she listened to their conversation for a
time After while she addressed the lead
er, saying: I hear that you intend to play
a trick upon some one. l am very fond CT
a joke, myself, and should like the signal.
That night without showing any concern.
Nine. Alboni walked down to the footights,
and. holding up the whistle which hung
to her neck by ribbon she exclaimed: Cen

The whole Eighth ward Is aroused and in
dignant over the news that County Auditor
Billy Johnson, who claims the whole ward as
his political home, has requisitioned the city
hall and court house commission for an up-to-
date costly and resplendent carpet for the
floor of his private office. Furthermore, al
though Mr.. Johnson declares that the carpet
is not for his personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but
due to the dignity of the Office the gentle
men of the sanded floors. who have been the
new county auditors political sponsors are
troubled with fears lest their idol should
have been led astray by plutocratic fashion.
