MARK 1. RICHARDSON.

Mark L. Richardson died Feb. 18th, at
p. NJ, at hi, home In Milton Plantation,
after very painful sickness which con-
fined him TO his bed about two weeks
He had complained OF being very tired
for long time, and feared he would be
obliged to give up work; and when he
went home at Christmas he Was too III 10
return to work, and from that time the
disease (Bright's) developed very rapid
ly until death.
He was great sufferer all through
his sickness, but never complained, even
when so severe he cried out with pain.
He remarked to his brother who was
with him during his last week Of sick
ness, that he often thought Of the words
of the poet on "How a Christian can
de-" and II was no doubt this faith that
sustained him through his last hours Of
suffering.
He was always a great lover of nature,
and derived much Of his pleasure and
enjoyment from the study OF the foliage
Of trees, of flowers, birds, moths and
mountain and forest scenery and Gods
beautiful painting among the clouds.
He saw more beauty In these than most
men see, and what was beautiful to him,
10 some things, others could not see.
To his brother he said many beautiful
things which revealed the deep thought
but modest silence, SO characteristic Of
the man. Speaking OF autumn leaves,
he said the oak which so few look upon
as beautiful, Is beautiful with It's brown
and green and dun colors, 90 beautifully
blended and shaded and mingled togeth-
er. He sid man cannot do 1t but God
can. And the little dark sparrow that
few think beautiful with the feathers so
delicately shaded, and the finely penciled
lines 80 beautifully blended, among the
feathers, they are beautiful. God can
do It but man cannot. And the moths
with such wonderful colorings, 90 per-
feet In color, 80 beautiful In variety OF
shadings. Man cannot do It but God
can.
In the death of Mark L. Richardson
the frmily lose devoted husband and
father, and the community most esti-
mable citizen and friend Of all.

IL Is nothing surprising In this in
stance, but il Is unusual for a new con-
gresham st the very outset Of his first
session 10 secure position which causes
frequent references 70 him IN the press
OF the country a. lone Of the sblest
members OF the house; nevertheless,
that il what Charles E. Littlefield has
done. His work on the Roberts case
drew the attention OF the country TO
him, and his recent effort on the Porto
Ricsn bin has further stamped him as q
man, not only Of ability but OF strong
individuality. he IL bound 10 become a
leader in the house st an early day. IL
is to be noted that In both the matters
mentioned he had the courage 10 main
tain his position in opposition TO the
msjority of his own party, and such
action Is frequently OF the highest serv-
ice, not only TO the country but 70 the
party as well.

VALUABLE PINK TouRMALINes.

(Ailan Eric, Boston correspondent, In Industrial
Journal)
Some OF the very finest tourm slines 10
the market are obtained from the mines
Of Mt. Mica, Paris, Maine. This gem
has always been very interesting one
to me because 1t IL Maine gem. lam
something Of "Msine gem" myself.
"Whst would an unmounted pink
tourmsline cost me?" I asked q WELL
known fremont Street, Boston, expert
on gems, one afternoon this week rs
strolled into his little shop.
"A fabulous sum, q fabulous sum-"
he replied.
"If you could find one" he said, sit
would cost you anywhere from s25 to
$500 or $500 They are hard to get /;
very hard to get, being much rarer than
some others, green, for example"
"But," said, ~ know Of two pink
tourmslines, all cut, Of very good color,
that can buy at what consider = very
good price,"
"who has got them? r. he asked.
III have" l replied.
"But OF whom did you obtain them?"
"Ah," I replied, "thst IL my little
secret. have, however, hesitated about
buying them, because they both show
flaws"
"Pooh, pooh. What does that amount
amount to. II Is the color you are after
in pink tourmsliue. There are very
few Of them that do not show what you
and would call flaws. But that does
not injure them. IL is the color, the
color, my friend. Tourmalines are not
like diamonds. A diamond TO be first
class, must be fi,wless, or very, very
so. But never refuse tousma-
line, pink tourmaline, because 1t shows
a little Jaw"
then told him the price at which
could secure the two gems; and he sd-
vised me to take them quick as they are
worth more money.
remarked that did not wish to ex-
tract expert knowledge from him; but
he said that WAS all right.
"where were they mined?' he asked.
"At Mt. Mica"
"Ah? Well, should advise you to
buy them" It did my heart good to
engage In this conversation, about
almost priceless gems, the product OF
the good old state Of Maine. ] happen
to know that pink tourmaliDes are very
scarce. There are plenty of green ones
TO be obtained, but they are more plenti-
full than pink stones, though good
price must be paid for nice green stone.
The pink stones that / refer to are
about one-karat stones.
Tnere Is blue tourmsline, found at
Mt. Mica, which commands handsome
price In the Boston market. There ara
some handsome gem, cut from Ca 'ium-
Beryl. They are pure white, very bril-
liant, and harder and more durable than
The tourmaline. They are found at Mt.
Mica with the tourmalines, and are
much rarer. :.
