But we have not blamed tho Demo-

She fact is,n the operation OF the law
making coupons Of Virginia State bonds
receivable for taxes, was playing havoc
with the school fund along i'll the late
seventies. But in 1870 the Virginia Lesis-
lature passed ths Henkle bill, which
had the effect of Keeping in the counties
a large portion of the revenues to DC
devoted to school purposes, so that 1t
could not be affected by the tender OF
coupons for tax payments. The salu-
tary effects of this law We're Just be-

the Readjuster Republicans came into

Greatest Of Gems.

gem, has for some time been on exhibit

like large lump of washinging soda.
When, however, 1t is lifted from It's rest
ing place fof the benefit OF the crowds
who go to see It, and the light is al
lowed to play on It, something of it's
great brlllancy can be seen.
A London paper informs us it Is es-
timatcd that the cutting Of the stone will
cost Il sum of $4,000, and that very
deep brilliant Of 100 carets' weight will
be produced. as well as a number Of
very fine stones, Weighing from 20 carats
downwards
II will be remembered that the stone
was discovered by Mr.. +. Wells. an over
seer at the mine. AS he was returning
in the evening from his work, his eye
caught the CLINT of the setting sun re-
Elected on small shining spot in the
wall of the workings, Opening his pen
knife, lie reached UP the wall. and
