A BATTLE WITH THE SEA.


No engagement of the Civil War was
carried on with more herolsm and en-
durance than that fought by the For
ty-ninth United States Colorcd Troops
after hostilities We're over. The Mag
azinc of American History contains an
account of the tussle In which the
black soldiers bore themselves so
bravely. The steamer Merrimuc. load
ed with cotton, left New Orleans for
New York carrying, besides her reg
ular passengers. thirty officers and 900
colored privates.

the vessel sprung n leak, fires were

coal which dashed about.
But no one faltered. and high above
the noise rose the clear. sweet voices OF
the workers. now singing an army

music brought new hope TO the hearts
of the passengers. Hour after hour
the men worked and sang, and the sea

Tools for Engraving Diamonds.

Diamonds can be engraved in a very
artistic manner. This development of the
| diamond cutting art brings into existence
new class of jewelry, for which con-
siderable demand is expected Lit was
long believed that the diamond could not
be engraved with safe or satisfactory re-
suits. X few stone roughly engraved
were found in India, and diamond was
exhibited at the Paris exposition in 1878
on which a portrait of the King of Hol-
land was scratched. But the work was
imperfect, and the stones were rather
fep0llshed than engraved. Sore Of the
finest specimens of engra .-ng on dia-
monds are the work of Bordinet, Paris
jewcler.
The most remarkable is a ring made OF
one diamond, the interior surface being
polished and the exterior deliberately en-
graVed. Other examples are brooches,
representing flies, of which the wings are
thin engraved diamonds, and two dia-
mOnds engraved with armOrial bearings,
the imperial arms of Russia being used
in one instance on shirt and cuff buttons.
Formerly il was only possible to pro-
duce the polish on fiat surfaces, but Bor-
dinet has been able to do this on concaFe
portions, as on the body and tail of a
fish and the interior of the ring His
tools produce not only straight lines, as
in the wheel, the racquet and the flies

self, and intends that his son alone shall
have the use of them. They are exceed
ingly delicate and difficult to handle. He
has spent thirty-fye years bringing them
TO perfection. 1t is comparatively but a
few years since it was possible to pierce
holes in diamonds. This feat made pos
sible the placing of diamonds on a string
alternating with pearls. This work. III

story Of his father:
The old gentleman came down to New

Grand Central station, told the driver to
take him at once to st. Michaefs church.
The cabman didn't know where st.
Michaels church was. hut rather than
lose fare determined to bluff it out. He
did know there was Catholic church ii

halted at he door. above which was the
tame of the church My father looked

open and said:
This isn't st. Michael's church
This is where you get out lust the

politeness pay:" Correspondents pa;n-
out that not only have the ancient coYr..

most novel argument advanced was thar
the American nation, "notori0usly the

aged to forge to the front in business
and craftsmanship. and has thereby
demonstrated that politeness does not pay.
While Spain, with its courteous grand
ness, and France, famous for politguesS.
are not such noticeable examples Of sue

Apart from the discussion Of the qneS-
ton, which hardly deserves to be taken
seriously, the pungent criticism of the
American nation, furnishes food for re-

neighbors? Outwardly, yes. 1t must be.
admitted that most of us have been too
busy settling new country, and Striy-
ing for bare existence to put the utmost
degree of polish of which we are capable
upon our manners. In England the con
ductor of the omnibus says "Thank you

gendarme on the street corner is the
personifcation of courtesy, as he an
swers the strangers inquiries. No such
examples of politeness are furnished by
public servants in this country. In the
native courtesy that springs from the
