MRS. STOUGHTON'S DIAMOND.

MR. NOCETTI recently bought in Sierra Juarez (a mountain range in northern So-nora) ten pounds of gold quartz for $100; he sent one pound to Los Angeles and sold it for $200. It seems hardly cred­ible that quartz, under any circumstances, should be worth more than gold; but this lot is so beautifully white and so plen­tifully seamed and sprinkled with gold as to bring the price paid. Mr. P. Gance of Los Angeles buys selected specimens of gold quartz, paying sometimes as high as $22 per ounce of quartz to select. It is shipped to Prance and used for jew­elry.

IN excavating for the toundation ef a house in the street of Geneva, Switzer­land, some distance from the Rhone, a number of piles, identical* with those found in lacustrine villages, have been uncovered, a circumst&ncc which points to the conclusion that the river was once much wider than at present, extending probably to the foot of the steep hill which marked the limits of the ancient city. In the same neighborhood has also been found a sculptured slab, which ap-pears to have formed part of the entabla­ture of a Roman building.

A STRENUOUS effort is to be made to in­duce tae French Parliament to vote a law of divorce; none exists in France at pres­ent. Such a law was voted in 1792, on the ground that an indissoluble tie was at variance with the principle of individual freedom; and it remained in force until the restoration. This law gave rise to great scandals, and under its operation there were something like 30,000 divorces in a year. At present the law only allows of separation; and 6ome statistics recently printed show that in the course of twelve years there were 36,492 demands for sep­aration—3,099 on the part of the husband, and 32,763 on the part of the wife; and this in spite of the unjust position in which a separated woman is placed. -

Greta had seen lier household goods fall about her before she was able to put pride into iier pocket, where there was plenty ot room, and turn her hand to the only work she understood. It was some five years since she had begun to go out by the day to make and mend carpets, old and new, for the housekeepers ol Hampton. She had plenty of employ ment now, some money in t-ne bank, and a lover. She looked forward to the time, not so far off, when she should be gin upon her own carpets, when the money in the bank would be drawn out to buy the parlor set and the household linen, pictures and uickknackery perhaps, the wedding gown and bride-cake. She sometimes diverted herself with these thoughts, while sewing up the tedious seams of Mrs. Cashmere's Brussels, or matching the faded figures in Parson Needy's three-ply, which had been patched and darned and turned more times than she had fingers and toes. It used to amuse her sometimes to obsei v» that the dra.%ing-room carpets finally graduated in the attic, going through the preparatory course in sitting-room, din ing-room, nursery, and parlor chamber, She had been working for Mrs. Stougl; ton for several days, when her troubles began, and had gone home, quite tired out with the conflict over that ladv': chamber carpet, which had seen its best days. She had been obliged to rip and match figures and insert patches to de­ceive the very elect, and at the end Mrs Stougton had told her she would settle the bill when she heard from her husband who had gone away on business, and taken the key of the money drawer with him by mistake. Greta shrewdly sus

Sec tod the drawer was as empty as rum, but made no demur. She would

oblige a neighbor, and never remember it.

The following day she was engaged at Dr. Cardamon's, when she heard Fred rush in from school, and shout:

"I say, ma's supper ready ? Give me a hunk of gingerbread, anyhow. Where's Greta Loring? I want to ask her if she's stole Miss Stoughton's diamond out ot her ring! Jack Stoughton says his moth er's going to haul Greta over the coals I don't believe one word of it, and I want to ask her—"

"Hush, Fred; hush!'' said Mrs. Carda-mon. What do you mean? Don't ask Greta any such silly question.''

"Well, I don't w&nt Jack-Stoughton saying tnings, and I'll just thrash him for U."

"Diamonds!'' laughed Greta to herself. "Who would suspect Mrs. Stoughton oi one?" Then she suddenly remembered having picked a ring oft' the floor of the chamber where she was sewing at Mrs Stoughton's—a gold ring in whicTi a stone of good size bad no doubt once sparkled ana she had dropped it onthe mantel and thought no more about it. Was that cavity going to bear false witness against her? What nonsense! But that evening, when she returned to her lodgings, she found a note awaiting her, which read "If Miss Loring can give Mrs. Stoughton any information about the diamond miss ing frdm a ring left in the chaml>er where Miss Loring was at work, it will be gratefully received, and no mortifying disclosures made.''

Poor Greta slept little that night. How could any one suspect her of such a dread­ful thing? Where could the diamond have gone? How could she defend herself ex cept by her word? Ought she not to have been above suspicion, like Caesar's wife? What had she done todeserve it? In angry moment she returned this misjudged reply: "Mrs. Stoughton is at liberty to make whotever mortifying disclosures she may choose, but 'she must excuse Miss Loring from rendering account of a diamond of whose existence she was ignorant." This naturally exasperated Mrs. Stoughton, who flattered herself that she had transacted the affair with great delicacy and decorum. She had expected to bring Miss Loring to her feet, with contrite tears and confessions, and here was absolute defiance! Did such a hussy deserve consideration at her hands? And if Mrs. Stoughton was more or less afraid to say her soul was her own before that impecunious other half of herself, how much was she afraid to say that her dia­mond was no longer hers! Accordingly she made haste to put the matter into tbe hands of the law and the mouths of the Hampton gossips. Doubtless Greta jriauld have oeen lodged in jail at this time nad not Mr. Grafton' secretly espoused her cause, while he undertook the case Mrs. Stoughton had intrusted to hint. Mr. Grafton was a wealthy bachelor, some­what gray, tUJtl a good deal bald; he had smiled og Greta morertb|h t Wthopt reeeroig«iy uimn •g ipefMps he thought now that every, thjng arrives to him who can afford to waft—that this was his opportunity. His house-keeper had once engag^tf Gmta to ijaike carpets at Grafton Place, and he had taken pains to show her over the house and grounds,

newly saktfttfl11 a klw Ik "tlie shadow of the lindens, as he pot her into his carriage to tead h^r home. Greta had never worked tfter^-'again; but per­haps she was too, grateful at finding a friend at her side in such stormy weather to refuse a finrer fratt Mr. Grafton, and

lerhaps she had forgotten his audacity. Yet in the midst of ner humiliations Gre­ta remembered with a heart-throb that she had a lover to conic to her rescue if she "chose to call him^-tliat she should not be dependent upon Mr. Grafton's ten­der mercies after Stephen Sothcrnc had been notified of her strait. At the same time, she felt disinclined to break the bad news to him. till after all was ower. For how could it be possible for an inno­cent person to suffer? But Greta was not a little stunned one morning on receiving a letter in the handwriting of her -^mie love," whi<ih ran in this wise: | |

4 'MY DEAR GRETAIt is soi^e "time since I had the pleasure of hearing fr<?m you, and it has occurred to me to ask if time and distance were not weakening our hold upon each other; to wonder how long you would continue to love a man whom you saw but once or twice a year, since it seems to me that owing to the bad times our marriage is as-indefinitely postponed as the millennium. Now, ray dear girl, I do not wish to stand in your light; if you were not engaged to me, some more eligible partner would seek you, I feel certain. Moreover, my health is precarious, and the doctors have ad­vised me to try the air of California. It is a prescription more nauseous than drugs, since I must leave you behind me; but I could not, in honor, carry your promise with me for an indefinite space of time for my own selfish satisfaction merely. At the same time, believe me, it is no easy thing for me to say 'adieu' to the dearest girl in the world.

"Sincerely, STEPHEN SOTIIEHEJ" To say that Greta was surprised would

be the same as if we should call an earth­quake "unpleasant." She was thunder­struck, overwhelmed, with just spirit enough left to return Mr. Sotheme's let­ters and presents by the next mail with­out a word.

"He has heard all about the diamond, and believes it," she thought. It would be a comfortable arrangement if one could cease to love the instant a lover proves unworthy, but hearts are not fash lttned after that manner. When every thought and motive of one's life is woven up with those of another, one can not un-unravel .the tangled web all at once. "An­other such shock will send me to the in­sane asylum." sighed Greta. But there "was another yet in store for her. Mr. Graf­ton had taken la dropping in upon her after her day's 'work. One evening he said: '

"Miss Greta, what il' you should be found guilty of this—this"

"If they should find me guilty! How can they find an innocent person guilty? If I took the diamond, where is it?"

Mr. Grafton smiled indulgently. "Peo­ple have been imprisoned, branded, e.v-lled, hanged, and quartered lor sins thoy never committed. If you were guilty, you would be more likely to escape: you would have laid your plans."

Greta gave an involuntary sob; the teais shone in her eyes. "And there is no one to help me," she gasped, thinking aloud, rather than speaking to Mr. Graf­ton.

"Yes, ves, there is some one ready to help you, Greta," said that gentleman; ••I will help you, if you will only give me the right," he petitioned.

"You, Mr. 0rafton i What right run I give you: I don't understand."

"Il'you were my promised wife - Ah! my dear Miss Greta, don't turn away your head disdainfully; hear me out. Mr. Stoughton is under some obligation to me; it'you were my promised wife, I could write him. There would be 110 more said about the missing diamond; it would be accounted for in some natural manner. You would be no longer sus­pected. No one could suspect the wom­an whom Thomas Grafton delighted to honor."

"You—you arf very kind. I thank you; but I do not love you. Mr. Grafton."

"I don'l ask you to love me. Ol course you don't; the idea has never, perhaps, entered your head before. 1 only beg that you will marry me. Love will come sooner or later, as I deserve it at your hands. And., my dear, Greta, what bet­ter can you do? Who will give you em­ployment, with his blight upon you? How will you earn your daily bread?"

"I don't know," returned Greta; "how shall I, indeed? But, all the same, it would be contemptible to reward your unselfishness by merely marrying you for a home."

"Only agree to marry me, and I will not quarrel with the motives," he im­plored.

What could Greta do? Her love* had deserted her; her good name was tar­nished. Without home, friends, oi work, was it not the height of folly to refuse such a way of escape? And yet, how could she love him? But might not one survive the luxury of loving? Come wealth, ease, and position; vanish all illu­sions that make life sweet. She begged a fortnight for consideration: something might turn up to her advantage—the dia­mond, for instance. But the fortnight passed, as fortnights will; nothing happen­ed, except that Mr Grafton, feeling confi­dence in the woman who hesitates, re­furnished his parlor in blue satin and pale gold, fitted up an apartment for his wife's boudoir like a suburb of faiiy land, bespoke the parson, the ring, and caterer.

"Do tell!" said one gossip to another; "Greta Loring's going to step into clover, and no mistake.

"It's a powerful change for her. I hear Mr. Grafton's always had a hankering for her. He told Mr. Jobson any man could marry any woman he set his heart upon, if he'd only work hard enough, and wait like a spider in his web."

"I guess he got Greta for the asking, eh?"

"I dunno; there was that Sotherne who was sweet on her."

"I reckon, that's blown over—only a young man's pastime. I'm surprised at Tom Grafton, though, with all bis airs and frills, with his family tree and bis coat of arms, and his ancestors and his money. How does he get over that little affair of Mrs. Stoughton's diamond? I s'pose he expects ft Iks to visit his wife and ask no questions, once she's a Grafton."

"Law! it's the way of the world: a pret­ty face makes a man forget trespasses and getrid of.his judgment.^\lt'9 no use quarrelling with suich tilings"at our age. Greta'll make a fine lady, and I mean to

fay my respects at Qrjifton Place; directly; 'm just crazy to see the new fixing. I'd

just like to see how I'd look in the blue satin parlor." O ^ f j. , ! s,

* And all-this timB Clret^ 'liad not ;even consented. It is true, wealth and com­fort were allurring. She had told her­self that Providence would provide, and how could she know ' but this was the very provision made for her? It would lie delightful, no doubt, to enjoy such an establishment as Grafton Place. She re-meiflbcred what visions of romance had aecomppirfed when she rambled through the quaint old-fashioned mansion, which might pasflj boast # halted chamber; through the h«lls with the ^'dim religious light" falling frorft paiptpji ' 'Windows; gazed at the portraits of the dtisly (frafr tons; pushed aside the biocade hangings; drank from the china that had outlived generations. She recalled the great mjr-fofsl^iSt lineip thSwajls, the sHyc^-Tepef--gae tipoa the*-side -bfeard heaped 'with fruit, (be gashing ivory of the piano, and odor of the itofcfciigs flswejs.

All? Yes, all but self-approval, lore, and Stephen Sothorne, Still, let her answer "No," and Stephen and love would still be lacking, and hard­ship, want) and pnbtte disapproval be

superadded. ^ "The miserable little thief!" thought

the exasperated Mrs. Stoughton. "She has plavcd her cards to perfection, cozen­ing . ttyat old fellow into marrying her. No doubt he'll rue tlic day,, and serve him right." # , ' .

InHlic meantime, as Greta-had not giv­en him a refufal, Mr. Grafton chose to, consider himself accepted. 'He consulted her about the wedding journey, alwut the new servants to be engaged; as it" the marriage was a matter of ceurse. She-acquiesce'd in liis suggestions, but she had no choice to make;' she was drifting with the stream, not rowing hard against it; she was making believe that she could love him by-ana-by; his attention, his consideration for one so forlorn, his gen­erosity touched her; that was all.

One day Mrs. Stoughton's husband re­turned'home. It would seem as if no event could have less effect upon Greta's fortunes. She watched hint walking by, and wondered if Mrs. Stoughton was glad to see him.

"Any news in Hampton?" he asked his dinner table.

"News enough. Mr. Grafton is going to be married," returned liis wife.

"That reminds me- -I must see Grafton directly. Married, eh? Well, he's old enough. Who's the bride elect?"

"That little hussy, Greta Loring." "Softly, softly, my dear; it sounds en­

vious. "J envious of that little thief!" "Thief? What has Greta stolen—old

Grafton's heart? Nobody knew he had one before. Perhaps she has only devel­oped a latent organ in him."

"Oh, Herbert, I am so sorry to tell you— I never could make up my mind to write it ; but she was at work here—Greta Ber­ing—by-the-way, I haven't paid hor yet —and—and my diamond ring was in the same room, and—it's there yet, only the diamond's gone. Nobody else had been in the house. What could I think? Of course she stole it, though she brazens it out as she does."

Mr. Stoughton turned ash-color, laid down his fork, and stared at his "wife. "And you accuse lier of stealing the dia mond?"

"I wrote to her very kindly and consid­erately. She replied in a high and mighty tone, which was simply insulting I put the case into Mr. Grafton's hands.'

"Into Grafton's hand a ! Well, and what did he say about it?"

"Say! Why, he's going to marry her!" "Looks as if you'd win your case,"

laughed Mr. Stoughton, uneasily. ' And so Greta is going to marry the old fox A pretty kettle of fish! My dear, I really wish yon had notified me ot your loss."

He took up his hat and went out grim­ly. He had a very disagreeable duty to perform, and he wanted it over witli ; it had spoiled his dinner and that was enough. He knocked at Greta's door.

"The diamond again," she thought. "After all," he cogitated, "why not let

well enough alone? Pprhap? she loves the fellow."

Greta bore herself like one with good news: a tender color trembled on her cheek, a sort of suppressed joy shone in her eyes. An open letter lay before her, and Mr. Grafton sat in her easy-chair.

Mrs. Stoughton, watching from her «indow, wondered what under the sun Herbert could have to say that would take so long, and hoped he was giving Greta a piece of his mind, but grew all the more bewildered when he and Mr. Grafton came out together and separated without a word.

"I guess her cake is dough," she con­jectured.

When Greta wTas left once more alone, she turned to her open letter, written in a strange hand:

"Wlint does it mean, my dearest Greta it began. "I sometimes think I'm not quite sane yet, and it's all a fiction of my disturbed brain. Here 1 was, just picking up from a fever, in a strange city, when I received all my old letters and keepsakes from my sweetheart, and not a word of explanation. It was like a bomb-shell. I was out of my head for a month afterward, and small wonder. Greta, 1 love you—love you: so much love was never meant to be wasted. The hospital nurse kindly writes this for me, since I can only swear that I am still, ami ever will be, your devoted lover,

"STEPHEN SOTHEKNE." Mr. Stoughton looked very sober when

he sat dowu to his tea table that night. "I'm dying to know what Miss Greta

had to say lor herself," remarked his wife.

The stronger vessel smiled. "Your tea my dear, resembles the church of Laodi-ceV—it is neither hot nor cold."

"It waited for you long enough to cool. I wonder you didn't see that you were de trop at Miss Loring's."

"I think maybe Grafton found me de trop. In the mean time, my love, I am happy to restore your diamond," and he passed a tiny box across the table.

"Then she has confessed!" sparkled Mrs. Stoughton.

"You jump at conclusions. Women are fond of such gymnastic exercises, I hear. No; the confession comes from your humble servant. I am the culprit, Mrs. Stoughton. It was I who, wanting some ready money foi business purposes, abstracted the diamond from your ring, and pawned it to Mr. Grafton. He ad­vanced a considerable sum upon it, and I never meant you should know till I had redeemed it—perhaps not then. After all, perfect confidence is the only safe thing between you and ine, I find. Now we must go and beg Greta's pardon."

"And Mr. Grafton—" "The blue satin parlor is a mistake, as

well as the boudoir; he will remain a bachelor!"

"How—how does he explain himself?" "All's fair in love and war,even forgery

is his creed.", "Then Greta will return to her carpets?" "Not if Stephen Sotherne can help it."

A presented to the reporter, who took one of the proffered cups, and, ac-. cording to instructions,said "Thank you.' She then presented the tray, to tlic groom, who also took a cup of lea- The bride then offered some sweetmeats, which were . partaken of. While the reporter and the groom were sipping their tea Jhe bride backed out of the room, hidmg her face from view as she did so. "you see."1'said the groom, "she backs out of vour presence; that is a sign ot respect. If she did not respect you she would have turned her back on you as she left the room." The groom then left his bride without saying a word to her, accompa­nied the reporter to the street, and announced his intention of returning to the banquet sous to he in time for the second course.

The Stinging Tree. Though the tropical shrubs of Queens­

land are very luxuriant and beautiful, they are not without their dangerous drawbacks, for there is one plant grow­ing in them that is really deadly in its effects—that is to say deadly in the same way that one would apply the term of fire; as, if a certain proportion of one's body is burned by the stinging tree, death will be the result. Tt would be as safe to pass through fire as to fall into one of these trees. They arc found grow­ing from two to three inches high to ten and fifteen feet; in the old ones the stem is whitish, and red berries usually grow on the top. It emits a peculiar and dis­agreeable smell, but is best known by its leaf, which is nearly round, having a point on the top, and is jagged all around the edge, like the nettle. All the leaves are large—some larger than a saucer. "Sometimes," says the traveler, "while shooting turks in the scrubs, I have en­tirely, forgotten the stinging tree, till warned of proximity by its smell, "and, have then found myself in a little forest of them.

A STRANGE CEREMONY.

The Queer Manner in Whieli "Alice, the Ail-eel," was Wedded to Charles Jamison in San Francisco.

The San Francisco Call of a recent date says: Charles Jamison, an interpreter of Chinese and English, born in China but educated in this city, was married^ last night, a la Chinoise, to a young Chinese girl named Ah Qay, which ljeing trans­lated moans "Alice, the Angel." This is the first marriage according to Chinese rites that has ever taken place in this city. Miss Ah Qay, who is about eighteen years of age, was a lew days ago placed in charge of two matrons, who busied them­selves in instructing her in her duties as a wife. A number of the relatives of the groom yesterday morning sent ^ Miss Ah Qay presents of' cakes, on which were printed mottoes of congratulations and wishes of prosperity in her new sphere of life. A large number of. merchants and the president of the Six Companies vis­ited a Chinese restaurant on Jackson street, where a banquet was to be given after the ceremoney, and deposit with the proprietor sums of money varying from one to ten dollars to be given to the groom. Each individual donation was wrapped in a strip of red paper and marked with with the name of the donor, and the packr ages when endorsed were delivered to the groom, who according to the custom of his country, was in duty bound to seek out tlic donors and extend to each a per­sonal invitation to the banquet. One hundred and eleven Chinamen made do­nations, and as the groom had to invite each one of these he had no light task be­fore him.

The groom had selected for his future home two rooms on the first floor of the old Baptist Church building on Washing­ton street. Those he fittted in part with Chinese and American furniture. On the walls were hung a number of large strips of red paper, on which were stamped Chinese proverbs relating ta marriage and married life. On a table in tho first room were lacquered trays, containing Chinese dried fruits and sweetmeats, while on others were tiny cups for tea. There were also on the table Chinese ornaments and several water-pipes.

Yesterday afternoon, at about five o'clock, the female chaperones conducted the girl in their charge to the rooms of her future husband, but before she crossed the threshold of the door they threw a heavy handerchiet over her head, and shut out everything from her sight. This they told her was to warn her that in entering the married state she was groping in the dark future, but that, placing implicit faith in the hus­band, and relying upon him to guide her, slke need not fear of making a mis­step. £hc was then conducted to the first room, and. then to the room adjoin­ing, where she met the man who was to become her husband. He was standing by a bed in the room, and as she ap

})roaclied the handkerchief was removed rom her head, and both sat on the edge

•f the bed. In sitting down he intention ally sat on a portion of the silken skirt she wore. She made no attempt to re­move the garment, by allowing him to remain seated on her garment gave proof that she was his captive and willing to submit to his orders. Had she, however, drawn lier garment toward her it would have been proof that she would not be submissive, and would not obey him un­less she felt inclined to do so. The pair then knelt l>efore a small altar from which hung ancestral tablets, each offered a prayer, atter which they went into the other room, where they seated themselves One of the chaperones poured tea into two of the cups, and offered these to the groom and bride, telling each to take a sip. This being done, they took the cups again, mixed the contents, and re­turning them to the pair, told them to drink, saying that as their lips had touch­ed the beverage, they would draw inspir­ation from each other by partaking of file mixture.

The bride, accompanied by the cha­perones, followed by the groom and some relatives, formed a procession and left the house, amid the explosion of fire-crackers, and marched through Stout's alley to the restaurant on Jackson street, where the guests were waiting on the third floor. As the party ascended the stairs an or­chestra played'an air which a stretch of imagination might construe into a wed­ding march. As the bride entered the room where the guests, were assembled, she was supported by the two chaporones, aftd bad her face hid from view by a large fan. She was led around to each of the guests, and as she approached curtsied three times. The guest; returned the curtesy, and then recited a proverb, to which the bride replied. After having gone through this ordeal 111 tiroes, the

{tarty sat down to a banquet gotten up in be highest style of Chinese culinary art.

The first coarse, which lasted nearly two hours, being over, the bride was escorted to her home again.

During the evening a Oall reporter, who had attended the banquet, was asked by the gaoom to pay a visit to the bride. On the way to the bride's home the groom said: "I have been married in the true Chinese fashion to please my Chinese friends. The ceremonies last seven days, and at the expiratiation of the sev­enth day I will go before a justice of the peace and be married in American fashr ion. Now, before you sec my wife I must give you some instructions. When you enter the room you must take a seat, and then the old women who have charge of the bride .will bring her. from the other room and she will offer you a cap of tea and some sweetmeats. You must take the offering and say 'thank you,' for if you did not take it bhe would look upon your refusal as an insult. The reporter expressed a willingness ' to follow, fa-struc^ions, and after laving fbcen .fehown to a seat in the bridal-housc, wa» request-ed to wait a few minutes until the bride was ready to come, as she was yeir,basin­ful.

New Planets Near the Sun.

Perhaps no scientific achievement dur-jng the present century lias been deemed more marvelous than the discovery of the outermost member (so far as is known) of the sun's family of planets. In many respects, apart from the great difficulty of the mathematical problem involved, the discovery appealed strongly to the imagination. A planet seventeen hun­dred millions of miles from the sun had been discover^ in March, 1871, by a mere accident, though the accident was not one likely to occur to any one but an astronomer constantly studying the star-depths. Engaged in such observation, but with no idea of enlarging the known domain of the sun, Sir W. Ilerschel per­ceived the distant .planet Uranus. His experienced eye at once recognized .the fact that the starnger was not a fixed star. He judged it to be a comet. It was not until several weeks luid elapsed tliat the newly-discovered body was proved to be a planet, traveling nearly twice as far away from the sun as.Saturn, the remot­est planet before known. A century on­ly had elapsed since the theory of gravi­tation had been established. Yet it was once perceived how greatly this theory had increased the power of the astrono­mer to deal with pianatory motions. Before a year had passed more was known about the motions of Uranus than had been learned about the motion of any of the old planets during 2,000 years pre­ceding the time of Copernicus. It was possible' to calculate in advance the position of the newly-discovered plnftet, to calculate retrogressively the path along which it had been traveling, unseen and unsuspected, during the century pieced ing its discovery. And now observations which many might have judged to be of little value came in most: usefully. As-tromers since the discovery of the teles­cope had formed catalogues of the places of many hundreds of stars invisible to the naked eye. Search among the obser­vations l>y which such catalogues had been formed revealed the fact that Uran­us had been seen and catalogued as a fix­ed star 21 several times! Plamsteed had seen it five times, each time recording it as a star of the sixth magnitude, so that live of Flamsteed's stars had to be can­celed from his lists, Lemonnier had act­ually seen Uranus 12 times, and only es­caped the honor of discovering the planet (as such) through the most marvelous carelessness, his astronomical papers be­ing, as Arago said, "a very picture of chaos." Bradley saw Uranus three times. Mayer saw the planet once only. It was from the study of the movement of Uran­us as thus seen, combined with the plan­et's progress after its discovery, that mathematicians first began to supect the existence of some unknown disturbing body. The observations preceding the discovery of the planet range over an in­terval of 90 years and a few months, the earliest observation used being one made by Flamsteed Dec. 28, 1690. There is something very strange in the thought that science was able thus to denl with the motions of a planet for nearly a cen­tury before the planet was known. As­tronomy calulated in the first place where the planet had been during that time; and then, from records made by departed observers, who had no suspicion of the real nature of the body they were observ­ing, astronomy corrected her calculations and deduced more rigorously the true nature of the new planet's motions.

A Little Story About tlie Zulus.

A missionary some years ago preached to tlie Zulus about hell, and told them how hot it was and how surely they would go there if they did not change their courses. A Zulu chief, having heard hirn, invited him to dinner. The m«al ended the chief, says a South Af­rican newspaper, turned sharply round to the missionary and said : "What was that you said this morning about putting the great Zulu people in a great fire after they were dead? Come this way, and I will show you what the Zulus are; yon don't know them, I can see." He took him to a pile of wood, - which was of tre-mendus proportions—as big as a bay store—and had it set lire to all round. When it was properly in a blaze, and gave out so much heat that no one could come near it, the king summoned the, two regiments who had listened to the sermon and ordered them to charge the taming pile and extinguish it. Naked as they were, without shoes or any covering at all, they rushed into the burning mass like madmen, raving and yelling, and did not stop till hardly a vestage of tlie fire remained. The king then said to the missionary: "You have seen that. That is what we will do with your hell. The Zulus won't play with your fires, and you had better clear out of this country at once, or I will have a 'little fire' made for you to put out." The missionary took the hint, and left the kraal the same evening. Is it any wonder, ask the people, after this, that Gattling guns and rocket batteries have no terror for the Zulus?—and it is certain they have none. The ^ulus, when ordered to at-tatck, attack; and though tliey may be mown down by thousands still conje on, vntil they conquer or die.

Says a New York correspondent: I believe we are now do«n to tho the ante-helium rates. Indeed the cost of mate­rials is so low as to be a source of amuse­ment. If we could throw long folds of silk or muslin over us in the style of an­tique drapery, and do away with dress­makers and their extortionate bills, nearly every one cdtild be handsomely dressed. One can buy a very pretty twill goods for traveling costumes at ten cents a yard. Twenty-five yards makes the dress; So $2.50 supplies the^tufi, but it usually takes $20,to $25 for the makipg and find­ing.
