Vienna, Jan. 5.?Tho ilex. T. De j Witt Talmage, D. I)., of Brooklyn, preached in this city today on '"The surprises of Religion." His text was ; Icings x, 7: "Behold, the half was j ? not tolcl me.1' Tiie sermon was as fol- j lows: Appearing before vou today, my i mind yet agitated with the scenery of i the Holy Land, from which we have | just arrived, you will expect me to re- j vert to some of the scenes once \ enacted there. Mark a circle around j Lake Galilee, and another cir- j cle around Jerusalem, and you de- J scribe the two regions in which cluster ; memories of more events than in any other two circlcs. Jerusalem was a spell of fascination that will hold mc ine rest of my life. Solomon had resolved that that city should be the j center of all sacred, regal aud commercial magnificence. He set himself to work, and monopolized the surrounding desert as a highway for his cara vans. He built the city cf Palmyra , around one of the principal wells of j the ease, so that all the long trains of j merchandise from the east were ; obliged to stop there, nay toil and 1 'leave part of their weallli in the hands | of Solomons merchants. He manned the fortress Thapsacusat the chief ford of the Euphrates, arid put under guard everything that passed there. The three great products of Palestine? wine pressed from the richest clusters and celeorated all the world over; oil, which in that hot country is the entire substitute for butter and lard, and >vas j pressed from the olive branches until I everv tree in the country became an j oil well; and honey, which was the entire substitute for sugar?these three great products of the country Solomon exported, and received in return fruits ana precious woods and the animals of every clime. He went down to Ezion-geber and ordered a fleet of ships to be constructed, oversaw the workmen, and watched the launching of the flotilla which was to go out on more lhan a year's voyage, to bring home the wealth of the then known world. He heard that tue Egyptian horses were large and swift, and long rnaned and round limbed, and he resolved to purchase them, giving eighty-live doi j lars apiece for them, putting the best j of these horses in his own stall and j selling the surplus to foreign poteu- I tates at great pro tit. He beard that there was the best 01" timber on Mount Lebanon, and he sent out one hundred and eighty thousand men to hew down the forest and drag the timber through the mountain gorges, to construct it into rafts to be floated to Joppa, and from thence to be drawn by ox teams twenty-five miles across the land to Jerusalem. He heard that there were beautiful flowers in other lands. He sent for them, planted them in his own gardens, and to this very day there are flowers iouna m ine rums 01 taat cny such as are to be fouud in no other part of Palestine, the lineal descendants of the very flowers that Solomon planted. He heard that in foreign groves there were birds of richest voice and moSt luxuriant wing. He sent out people to catch them, and brino; them there, and he put them into nis cages. Stand back now and see this long train of camels coming up to the king's gate, and th^^-tr&ins from Egy g*, gold a^f<^ver and preciwuii stories, a"<y^asts of every hoof, arid birds of ^jj^ry wing, and fish of every scale! ^^ nSee the peacocks strut under the ceUf dars, and the horsemen run, and the W" chariots wheel I Hark to the orchestra! Gaze upon the dance! 2^ot stopping to look into the wonders of the temple, step right on to the causeway, and pass up to Solomon's palace! the "marvels of solomon s palace. Here we find ourselves amid a collection of buildings on which the kins: had lavished the wealth of many empires. The genius of Hiram, the architect, and of the other artists is here seen in the long line of corridors and the suspended gallery and the approach to the throne. Traceried window opposite traceried window. Bronzed ornaments bursting into lotus and lily and pomegranate. Chapiters surrounded Dy network of leaves in which imitation fruit seemed suspended as iD hanging baskets. Three branches?so Josephus tells us?three branches sculptured on the marble, so fhin and subtle that even the leaves seemed to quiver. A laver capable of holding five hundred barrels of water on six hundred brazen ox heaas, which gushed with water and.filled the whole place with coolness and crystalline Brightness and musical plash. Ten tables chased "Frith chariot wheel and lion and cherubim. Solomon sat on a throne of ivory. At the seating place of the throne, on each end of the steps, a brazen lion. Why, my friends, in that place they trimmed their candles with snuffers of gold, and they cut their fruits with knives of gold, and they washed their faces in basins of j?old. and thev scooped out the ashes with sliorels of gold, and they stirred the altar fires with tongs of gold. Gold reflected in the -water! Gold flashing from the apparel: Gold blazing in the crown I Gold, gold, goldl Of coursc the news of the affluence of that place went out everywhere by every caravan and by wii:? of every ship" until soon the streets of Jerusalem are crowded with curiosity seekers. What is that long procession approaching Jerusalem? I think from the pomp of it there must be royalty in the train. I smell the brea-'h of the snices which are brought as presents. and I hear the shout of the drivers, and I see the dust covered caravan showing that they come from far awav. Cry the news up to the palace. The queen of Sheba advances. Lot all tae people come out to see. Let the mighty men of the laud come out on the palace corridors. Let Solomon come down the stairs of the palace before the queen has alighted. Shake out the cinnamon, and the saffron, and the calamus, and the frankincense and pass it into the treasure house. y ii i* t ^*1 xi I rase up me uiamoncs untu xney cutter in the sun. The queen of Sheba alights. She enters the palace. She cashes at the bath. She sits down at the banquet. The cup bearers bow*. The meat smokes. The music trembles in the dash of the waters from the molten . sea. Then she rises from the banquet, and walks through the conservatories, and gazes on the architecture, and she asks Solomon many strange questions, and she learns about the religion of the Hebrews,- and she then and there becomes a servant of the Lord God. She is overwhelmed. She begins to think that all the spice's she brought, t _ n .tv . . . . _ .1. 1. v anuaii me precious wooes wincn are intended to be turned into- harps and psalteries and into railings ' for the causeway between the temple and the palace, and the one hundred and eighty thousand dollars in money? she begins to think that all these presents amount to nothing in s^cii a place, and she is almost ashamed that she has brought them, and she says within herself: '/I heard ajrreat.deal W??aa? about this placc. and about this wondcrfui religion of the Hebrews, but I fim! it far t>*yc?id my highest antic:paiions. 1 must add more than fifty percent., to a'hfU has been, related, h exceeds everything that 1 could have expected. The half?t^e half was not told me." . RELIGION IN HIGH PLACES. Leavn from this subject what a beautiful thin<? it is v.-hen social position and wealth surrender themselves to God. "When religion comes to a neighborhood, the first to receive it are the women. Some men say it is because they are weak minded. I say it is because they have quicker perception of what is ri;?ht, more ardent affection and capacity for subliirvr emotion. After the women have received the Gospel then all the distressed and the poor of botli sexes, those who have no friends, accept Jesus. Last of all come the greatly prospered. Alas, that it is so! If there arc those who have been favored of fortune, or. as I might better put it, favored of God, surrender all you have and all you expect to be to the Lord who blessed this queen of Sheba. Certainly you are not ashamed to be iounu 111 mis queeu s cumpiuiv. 1 am glad that Christ has liad his imperial friends in all ages?Elizabeth Christina, queen of Prussia; Maria Feodorovna, queen of Russia; ilarie, empress of France; Helena, the imperial mother of Constantino; Arcadia, from her ^reat fo> tunes building public oaths in Constantinople an'a toiling for the alleviation of the masses; Queen Clotilda, leading her husband and three thousand of his armed -warriors to Christian baptism; Elizabeth of Burgundy, giving her jeweled glove to a beggar, and scattering great fortunes among the distressed; Prince Albert, singing '"Rock of Ages" in Windsor Castle, and Queen Victoria, incognita, readingthe Scriptures to a dying pauper. I bless God ihut the day is coming whcm royalty will bring all its thrones. and music all its harmonies, and painting all its pictures, and sculpture all its statuary, and architecture all its pillars, and conquest all its scepters, and the queens of the earth, in long lino of advance, frankincense filling the air and the camels laden with gold, shall approach Jerusalem, and the gates shall be hoisted, and the great burden, of splendor shall he lifted into the palace of this greater than Solomon. Again, my subject teaches me what is earnestness in the search of truth. Do you know where Sheba was? It was in Abyssinia, or some say in the southern part of Arabia Felix. In either case it was a great way off from Jerusalem. To get from there to Jerusalem she had to cross a country infected with bandits, and go across blistering deserts. Why did not the queen of Sheba stay at home and send a comnmiee w> inquire nuuuu una .hoy religion, and have the delegates report in regard to that religion and wealth of King Solomon? She wanted to see for herself, and hear for herself. She could not do this by work of committee. She felt she had a soul worth ten thousand kingdoms like Sheba, and she wanted a robe richer than any woven by Oriental shuttles, and she wanted a crown set with the jewels of eternity. Bring out the camels. Put on the" spices. Gather up the jewels ox the throne and put them on the caravan. Start now; 110 time to be lost. Goad on the camels. When I see that caravan, dust covered, weary and exhausted, trudging 011 across the desert and among the bandits until it reaches Jerusalem, 1 say: "mere is an earnest seeker after the truth." SEEK EARNESTLY FOR TELE TRUTH. Bui tliere are a great many who do not act in that way. They all want to get the truth, hut they want the truth to come to them; they do not want to go to it. There are people who fold their arms and say: "lam ready to income a Christian at any time; if I am to be saved I shall be saved, and if I am to be lost I shall be lost." But Jerusalem will never come to you; you must go to Jerusalem. The religion of the Lord Jesus Christ will not come to you; you must go and get religion. Bring out the camels; put on all the sweet spices, all the treasures of the heart s affection. Start for the throne. Go in and hear the waters of salvation dashing in fountains all" around about the throne. Sit down at the banquet?the wine pressed from the grapes of the heavenly Eshcol, the angels of God the cup bearers. Goad on the cameis. The Bible declares it: ' TT-i/i ftnonn nf t'hp Crtiif.Ti" flint, is this very woman I am speaking of? ''the queen of the south shall rise up in judgment against this generation and condemn it; for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold! a greater than Solomon is here." What infatuation the sitting down in idleness expectin g to be saved. ' 'Strive to enter in at the strait srate. -4 c V and it shall bo given you; seek, and ye shall find; vtnock, and it shall be opened to you." Take the kingdom of heaven by violence. Urge on the camels! Again, my subject impresses me with the fact that religion is a surprise to any one th.it gets it. This story 01 tne new religion m aerusa- i lem* and of the glory of King Solomon, who was a type of Christ?that story rolled on and on; and was told by every traveler coming back from Jerusalem. The news goes on the wing of every ship and with every caravan, and you know a story enlarges as it is retold, and by the time that story gets down into the southern part of Arabia Felix, and the queen of Sheba hears it, it must be a tremendous story. And yet this queen de-. clares in regard to it. although she had heard so much and had her "anticipations raised so high, the half?the half was not told her. So religion is always a surprise to any one that gets it. The story of grace?an old story. Apostles preached it with rattle of chain; martyrs declared it with arm of fire; deathbeds have affirmed it with visions of glory, and ministers 01 religion nave sounded it through the Janes, aud the highways, and the chapels, and the cathedrals. It has been cut into stone with chisel, and spread on the canvas with pencil; and it has been recited in the doxology of great congregations. And yet when a man first comes to-look on the palace of God's mercy, and to see the royalty of Christ, and the wealth of this banquet, and the luxuriance of his attendants, and the loveliness of his face, and the joy of his service, he exclaims with prayers, with tears, cirrhc wiili Trillrrmli<s "Thft nrflf ?tile half was not told me!" I appeal to those who are Chris- 1 tians. Compare the idea you had of : the joy of the Christian life before you "became a Christian -with the appreciation of that joy you have novr since you have become a Christian, and you are willing to attest before : angels and men that you never, in the < d^ys of your spiritual bondage, had ; any appreciation of what was to come. : You are ready today to answer and ] Sjty in regard to the discoveries you 1 have made of the mercy and the grace 1 and the goodness of God: 4"The half? i the half was not told me!" ] ZION SHALL BE THE JOY OF THE EARTH. 1 "Well, we hear a great deal about 3 the good time that is coming to this 1 world when it is to be crimed with ] salvation. Holiness on the bells of \ the horses. The lion's mane patted ^ by the hand of a babe. Ships of Tar- ( shish bringing cargoes for Jesus, and 3 the hard, dry, barren, winter bleached. ( storm scarrmj^^^^Rer spill tock . breaking' ij^pRous of bright water. I Deserts i:H?o which dromedaries thrust their nostrils, because they were I were afraid of the simoon?deserts blooming into carnation roses and silver tipped lilies. It is the old story. Everybody tells it. Isaiah told it," John told it, Paul t a1 n it "RVpfciVl told it. Luther told it. Calvin told it, John Milton told it? everybody tells it; and yet?and yet when the midnight shall fly the hills, and Christ shall marshal his great army, and China, dashing her idols into the dust, shall hear the voice of God and wheel into line; and India, destroying her Juggernaut and snatching up lies1 little children from the Ganges, shall hear the voice of God and wheel into line; and vine covered Italy, and wheat crowned Russia, and all the nations of the earth shall hear the voice of God and fall into line; then the Church, which has been toiling and struggling through the centuries, robed and garlanded like a bride adorned for her husband, shall put aside her veil and look up into the face of her Lord the King and say: "The half?the half was not told me!" Well, there is coming a greater sur prise cu i;\ vr\ uiii.%wn??A surprise than anything I liave depicted. Heaven is an old story. Everybody talks about it. There is hardly a hymn in the hymn book that does not refer to it. Children read about it in their Sabbath school books. Agedmen put 011 their spectacles to study it. We say it is a harbor from, the storm. We call it home. We say it is the house of man3' mansions. We weave together all sweet, beautiful, delicate, exhilarant words; we weave them into letters, and then we spell it out in rose and lily and amaranth. And yet that place is going to be a surprise to the most intelligent Christian. Like the queen of Sheba, the report has come to us from the far country, and many of us have started. It is a desert march; but we urge on the camels. What though our feet be blistered with the way ? We are has*lir? Wft tillrP fill OUT loves and hopes and Christian ambitions, as frankincense and myrrh and cassia, to the great King-. We must not rest. We must not halt. The night is coming on, and it is not safe out here in the desert. Urge on the camels. I see the domes against the sky, and the houses of Lebanon and the temples and the gardens. See the fountains dance in the sun and the gates flash as they open to let in the poor pilgrims, Send the word up to the palace that we are coming, and that we are weary of the march of the desert. The King will come out and say: ''Welcome to the palace; bathe in these waters; recline on these banks. Take this cinnamon and frankincense and myrrh and put it upon a censer and swing it before tlie altar." And yet, my friends, when heaven bursts upon us it will be a firreater surprise than that?Jesus on the throne, and we made like him! All our Christian friends surrounding us in glory! All our sorrows and tears and sins gone by forever! The thousands of thousands, the one hundred and forty and four thousand, the great multitudes that no man can number, will cry, world without end: "The half?the Iialf was not told me!" The British boat Brisk has given the most conclusive proof that a torpedo may be effective. She fired one of hers at a buoy which had been towed out as a target by her steam cutter, and, missing the buoy, hit the cutter and sank her. The New French seagoing torpedo ooax nas use a ner lorpeuo xuoes waia success when goin^ at the rate of twenty-one and a half knots an hour. A West Union (W. Ya.) man set fifteen snares in his garden, and the first night caught thirteen rabbits and two opossums. A new departure in the building business has been successfully tried in Germany. This is the wholesale manufacture of mortar, to be sold to small builders and private individuals. In Berlin last year 2,000,000 barrels were sold. A boundary commission, jointly appointed by New Y&rk and New Jersey, nas lounci inai jseaioe s isiana is in New Jersey and not in New York, as has heretofore been held. Russia is increasing her field artillery. Hitherto each brigade had six batteries of eight guns each, but now each brigade will have eight batteries of eight guns, or a total or sixty-four guns, instead of forty-eight as hitherto. Samuel Stone, a Meigs county (0.) farmer, set some turtles' eggs uudcr a hen not long since. All the eggs were hatched ana the fowl seems to think as much of the little turtles as a mother hen usually does of her chicks. In unloading bananas at the New York wharves the stevedores frequently encounter scorpions and snakes. which hare curled up under the banana heads in search of a long- nap, and sleep right through the trip to New York. The magnitude of the stamp collector's operations may be judged from a statement in Brie a-Brac, that a gentleman exists in Germany (and is reported to be sane) who would not take ?250,000 for his collection of postage stamps. While the sealing industry of Alaska holds a prominent place in public attention, and gold mining in southeastern Alaska and at Unga Island to the westward is inviting capital for gradual and certain development, the coal deposits in the vicinity of Cook's inlet and at other points west of Sitka are rapidly coming to the front. Ex perls pronounce the coal or good quality and the beds extensive. A young lady shool teacher of Sumter county, Fla., one night last week dreamed that she was whipping one of her scholars, and from reports she certainly had a terrible time of it. She waked up the inmates of the house by screaming: "Won't you be a good boy?won't you study your lessons? won't you quit sticking pins in the scholars?" Her mother, thinking that something must be the matter, rushed into the young lady's room and saw her standing up in bed, beating, lacking and otherwise abusing a pillow. a i i t* r-t j a resident 01 uanton, u., received, a note from a farmer residing a few miles distant, stating that if he would send the farmer a box the latter would ship him a nice pig as a present. The Cantonian sent the box and received a fat pig, which died a few hours later of cholera. Now he finds out that the donor knew the pig had the cholera, and took this method of getting rid of it to avoid the expense of burying it. The new lighthouse at Houstholmis the most powerful in the world. The beam is of 2,000,000 candle power and shows clearly at Blokhus, a distance of thirty-five miles. It is produced by arc lamps fed by Dr. Meriten's dynamos, driven by steam engines. To prevent the extinction of the light through an accident to the machinery, the latter is duplicated, one set coming inter play should the other fail. The light is further supplemented in thick sveather by two powerful sirens, or fog trumpets, working with compressed air. The fascination which a powerful light exercises 011 wild birds is curiously illustrated by this light aouse. It is said that basketful s of lead snipes, larks, starlings, and so forth, arc picked up in the mornings outside the tower.

Woolson. * GIANT -JACK. ; t It was in the year 1860. while I was staying a few days in a Missouri village, 1 that I first saw Giant Jack. I was seated 1 on the piazza of the only hotel that the c place could boast of. when I saw a large, handsome man, accompanied by a very ; pretty woman, passing down the street, j He was ovor six feet in height, with t broad shoulders, a deep, full chest, ? muscular and well formed limbs, glossy, 1 chestnut hair, and a huge beard of the 1 same color, which hung nearly to his ( waist. He was about >) ) years of age, i and his companion appeared to be about t twelve years his jumor. wexv seated in a handsome carriage, drfuvn by i a pair of beautiful, blooded horses; and 1 it was evident that they belonged to a 1 wealthy class of people. "That 'ere big feller?" said min? host : in reply to my inquiry. "Wy, that's ; John Norval. Mc 'n' him has alius be'n ( chums ever sence we wnz boys. When ther gold fever broke out in '49, we went ; ter Californv tergether. It wuz while he wuz thar that he got ther nickname uv ] #Giant Jack?an' ther name jest fits him; s John is er giant in size, and his heart is 1 big in proportion ter his body. Er better ' feller than John never stood in two < shoes; an' I, who've known him ever ] sence he wuz knee high ter er grass- i hopper, ken swar ter it. He owns ther 1 big grocery store thar crcrost ther street, 1 an' ther dry goods store jest beyond this J hotel; and ther big house yer passed jest ] before yer entered this village, is his'n. "Me'n' John didn't make our fortin' diggin' Californy gold, ez some did," continued the landlord. "Arter we'd . i be'n thar erbout five years, we got kinder '< iiomesict; an', ez we u maue er ui<^ ernough pile ter start us in business here in ouv native village, we concluded ter pull out fur .home. "But jest before we got ready ter start, tliar wuz a new arrival at the camp?er man named Ilorton, an' his daughter. "When Giant Jack sec ther gal he decided ter stay er while longer, an', uv course, ez I didn't want tor start fur home without him, I stayed, too. Giant Jack had fell in love with Clara Horton, almost at fust sight, an' I couldn't blame him fur it; fur she wuz purtier'n any picter T ever see. "Horton pretended that he had come 1 ter dig gold, but we found out afterwards that that wuz only er blind. He wuz a professional gambler; an' before he had be'n at ther camp ten days, he ] had fleeced no less'n half er dozen miners. < Such scoundrels wuz very common in ] ther California gold regions in them 2 days. i "Giant Jack disliked Horton from the 1 fust, but he made friends with him so he 1 could git '.quainted with his daughter; | < an' before Clara iiorton ftad be 11 er weeJt i at the camp, she an' Giant Jack wuz ther < best uv friends. 1 "Giant Jack had pitied ther girl on < ther day vrhen he had fust seen her? 1 when ther stage had brought her an' i her father up from ther city; fur she < seemed er lady, with her quiet ways an' her wistful eyes, an' not a tall fitted fur ( ther wild, rovin' life, which it wuz plain j her father wuz leadiu' her. "Pity is akin ter love, they say; an' ( mebbe it wuz ther cause uv Giant Jack's fallin' in love with Ciara Horton so sud- j den; fer ten days from ther time he had fust seen her, he axed her ter be his wife. " 'I like yer better'n any other man I ever see,' she told him, 'an' I would be ] glad ter leave my father, whom I can j neither l~ve nor respect; but, on her dyin' bed, my mother made me promise never ter leave my father, without his consent. I Ef he don't object, an' you aren't ashamed ^ ter marry er gambler's daughter, I will be ?your wife; but I can't break the promise I made ter my dyin' mother.' ""FfTyrhmi nr>t. nnlv obieeted. but told Giant Jack he'd put er bullet through ^ him ef he caught him hangin' "round ? arter Clara any more.

"Then he went back ter Clara, ait' j c tried ter coax her ter marry him without t her father's consent.

But all his argyin didn't (lo no good.

In some manner a cat found its way into a eyclorama building several days igo. The man in charge attempted to ;kase the trespassing feline through the loor, but the cat evidently thought ;here was a better way of escaping the rising temper of the irate man. It looked cautiously about, as if to avoid stepping >d the prostrate forms of heroes slain in ;he battle. Finally its eyes caught sight )f a tree. A projecting limb hung very low, and here the cat thought to find a place of safety. It gave one leap, and, ao doubt, was the most disgusted cat in Portland when it learned by sad experience that the tree was on the canvas. It picked itself up and slowly slunk through :he door, down the stairs and out of the building.?Portland Oregon ian. The First Lamp Chimney. "Petroleum," says a correspondent in Notes and Queries, "was known, and sven refined, long before it was used in [amps. A Frenchman is said to have ;pent years in vain endeavors to construct a lamp in which the new oil would Durn without smoking. Accident helped iiim at last. Vexed by failure, he had irained his wine flask?a long necked. :hin bottle, like oil flasks?and set it 3own on the table so hard as to break ;he glass bottom. He then chanced to latch it up and hold it over the flame of ais smoking lamp. The smoke ceased, md he saw that what he sought was round." ^ "I am surprised, Bobby, that you >nouia asK ior more pic wnen you nave plenty yet on your plate." "Whv, that ain't pie, ma; that's srust.

FAG To ABOUT MOONSTONES^ ! VliO Gem's Place in Mythology, Folk-Loro [ aut Jtloiiern ^liueralosy. V?'bue the iiioon&tone has but littie value j it the present lime, those who eared to be j versed In gem lore hoid it remarkable for the fables which cling to it, writes John H. Alien in the Chicago Jeweler. Burnham says "it is no easy matter to class this ehameleon-likc gem, since it claims kindred with so many species and passes under so great a number of names," but whatever the moonstone or the ancients i#ay Voi-A VV.IAM +V?A mrtAne + Anft Af +/v_/^OTT i C 11UV O ULCli 7 kUV./ UiUWUOb^llC Vi LVU?J * -? stripped of all imagery, and in the didactic language of cold but bright-eyed science is an opalescent variety of straight-cleaving feldspar. Its hardness is six, and its specific eravity is almost invariably 2.5S. It contains in one hundred parts: Silica... 6454 parts; Alumina 18% " Potash 17 " Traces of soda, limti and magnesia.. .17 " While the moonstone of the ancients was nuite appropriately termed selenite tfte mineral of to-day is not so well named. It is known as adularia, from Mount Adula, one of the highest peaks of the Leontine Alps, in that group to which the St. Gothard pass gives its name, and whose bowels have since been pierced by the railway tun? ? * rpu? ft\f rrom "h iiCI. 1UC UU9U Ui k.uv MV??v? er, comc from Ceylon. "It occurs in crystals, crystalline fragments and solid masses; its fracture is uneven; it is translucent on the edges, with a double refraction of light; the luster is vitreous and pearly, more especially when cut and polished." Tne light thrown out from the interior of the stone is greenish, and bluish white, the reflections being jchangeful in color when viewed in different aspects. The cleavage of the stone is in two directions, the crystals often being found in the hemitrope form having a compound structure, which may be imitated by bisecting a crystal and revolving oue-hajf ISO degrees (or in some cases 120 degrees), and then reuniting the halves. In polished specimens this form becomes obvious from the different directions of the laminae. Adularia is found in cavities of the granite, gniess and limestone, and in pebbles from Ceylon, Greenland, Bavaria, St. Gothard, Tyrol, Daup'nine and at several places in this country, particularly at Ticonderoga, N. Y-, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts. The adularia from St. Gothard is found in very large masses, and at Zurich, Switzerland, there were formerly on exhibition in the museum groups of crystallized adularia measuring two feet in length and one foot in thickness, which glinted with royal beauty. The gems are secured bv taking the specimens which possesses good color and strong pearly reflections and cutting' them out of larger lumps. The piece is then ground on a lead wheel, en cabochon form, and is then polished with rotteirstone. In commerce the adularia goes under various najpes, such as moonstone, sunstone, girasol, fish-eye, Ceylon or water opal. The difference between the moonstone and the sunstone seems to be in color only, the moonstone being white with small bluish or greenish shades, while the sunstone shows a yellow and reddish play of colors. The sunstone is another member ol the feldspar group, its internal prismatic reflections and minute spangles being du6 to the presence of included crystals of oxide of iron or of mica." It is found in limited quantities in Norway, and also at Media, Pa., and at Orange Court-House,Va. Orpheus, the semi-fabulous Grecian bard, recognized two kinds of gems which were symbolical of the sun. "In both," he says, "there appear rays shining straight, and like luminous hair, but the colors of the stones arc different; the one would be deemed a crystal, the other a chrysolite, except for the hair."' He also wrote: "Phcebus hath planted in both species a mighty spirit which gives glory and heroic beauty to whatsoever shall wear them with due understanding." "Ay, there's the rub." Probably few of Orpheus' coternporaries had the necessary "due understanding." 'lhat the sunstroke was connected in the miuds of ancient gem-engravers with Sol is evident from a beautifully carved gem of this character discovered by C. "W. King in the Marlborough collection of jewels, showing Sol driving three horses attached to his chariot through the heavens, thus marking this stone as that god's peculiar property. How arc the mighty fallen! The stone which used to possess the miraculous powers ascribed to this; the gem which enjoyed the favor of princes, and the felicity of being lied about by writers whom we now term classical; the only jewel to which the ancients paid the compliment of bestowing upon it the names of their worshiped luminaries, is now a common stone, valuable only for the skill displayed in cutting it. Let us recount its glorious past, and draw the vail of charitable silence over its ignominious present. SMOKED RIGHT ALONG. How Ely Goddard lie proved a Couple ot Very Prim Young Women. Two young women and a man climbed on top of a Fifth avenue stage one ?ay last wedk and settled down on one of the back seats for a pleasant ride up the avenue, says the New York Times. The young women were of the prim sort, and were evidently not' used to traveling on the hurricane deck of a vehicle. On the seat with the driver was a fashionably dressed man smoking an excellent cigar and enjoying himself to his heart's content. The smoke was wafted back, but it was rather enjoyed by all on the stage except the two prim young ladies. They didn't like, or at least they pretended not to like it. "VV hat. f> hnrrihlc nicrnr thai*, is!" said one. "He ought to know better than to smoke on the stage," said another. "Well, some people don't know enough to stop smoking when there are ladies around." "Some one should complain to the officers of the company aboufrit." The gentleman sitting with the driver heard all that was said, and it was evidently said so that he should hear it. -But he smoked right on, and didn't seem to care whether the officers of the company were complained to or not. The young women kept on making remarks and his position was a little embarrassing. His cigar was pretty well smoked down by the tiiae he got ready to pet off. As the stage halted he turned to the young man who was with the prim young ladies and said: "I have heard a good deal of what has been said about smoking. Now, it might as well bo understood that all these seats up here on the top of the stage are for smokers and those who rid? ' with them." "Who H that?" asked the young man as the othc * down. "Oh, . s Ely Groddara," said the driver. "And who is he?" "He's the president of this stage company." MR. DEPEW'S CHAIRS.. a. uamorons incident xnat conveys a T.esson in Advertising:. "Ever hoar how Chauncey M. Depew jot. the ship-chair he used oil his last trip to Europe?" .asked a member of the Consolidated Exchange. The New York World had not heard, and the broker proceeded to unfold. The day before his departure Mi. Depew and a friend were walking >n Fourth avenue. In a conspicuous placo on the sidewalk in front of a small furniture store were two ship-chairs, ?ach bearing a piacard inscribed: wSold to Chauncey M. Depew." Mr. Depew caught sight of the chairs, and, scratching Ms chin a mo nent, said: "By Jove, I had almost forgotten ibout these pesky chairs. Got to take em right along now or I'll not get'em iboard the ship," and, swinging the two Ight chairs over his shoulder, ho ' -valked rapidly up the street. !

"Just hold on now, Fatty," interrupted ; the officer, who could not see where any ; satisfactory explanation could be made. "You've sold these chairs to Mr. Depew and printed his name on 'em. If there's any dispute about the bill this isn't the ! place to settle it. Don't lose any time . gettin' back to your shop or I'll run yer in fer disturbin' the peace. See?" "That's a trick those fellows hav-."' ! said Mr. Depew to his companion, us i;o negotiated with a- boy to deliver t ?\ chairs on board his steamer. "These chairs do not belong to me any more i than they belong to the Shah, but they will come handy, all the same. Th ; furniture man or some of his clerks ; heard I was going to Europe, and put- j tins: my name on the chairs and display- ! ing them on the sidewalk was simply an J advertising trick. The proper place to j advertise is in the newspapers. I'm' nut j a newspaper man, but I'm opposed to sidewalk-advertisements." "And that." concluded the broker, '*is j how Mr. Depew got his ship-chair." SENOR1TA EXCHEQUREN. She Is Youxzg, Handsome and Will In- ! herit Twenty-Fivo Millions. The sensation at the Hotel del Monte ! now, says a Monterey letter, is th? j pretty Senorita Ysabel Exchequren, j whose father is worth SS0.000,000. Senor ; Francisco Exchequren is a Castilian, j who came to Mazatlan many years ago, | engaged in the importing business, j gained a large fortune, and is now : known as the Vanderbilt of the western i coast of Mexico. He owns about half j of Mazatlan's iron and cotton mills ar.d ! millions of acres of good land. His greatest successes, however, have been in mining. He owns the rich Guad aloupe de Los Rees silver ledge, near J Cosala, 100 miles from th? capital of 1 Sinaloa; the Guadaloupan, at Rosarid, besides large interests in many others. : The first-named mine is very old, hav- . ingbeen worked for over a hundred years. The otlTer is comparatively new. These and others which he owns , are producing large fortunes annually, j estimated at from S100.000 to SI,000.000 each. The story of Monte Cristo seems to find a verification in the life of Senor : Exchequren. The senorita is a demi- : blonde of seventeen, tall and willowy, with fair complexion and auburn hair, j She srets her dresses from Worth, and j her diamonds are the envy of the rich girls lfere." According-to the custom of j her nation, for her father is a native of j old Spain, she is accompanied by a ; rather austere duenna, who is always i with her when she goes into the surf, j and even in her walks. This has j caused much anguish among several ! prominent young men whose hearts the ; young lady has captured. Every day ! when she visits the beach there is strife among her admirers as to who shall pay her the most attention. Senorita Exchequren will inherit one-third of her father's vast wealth, which makes her one of the richest girls on this side of the Atlantic. . A GIRL'S ART WORK. JThe Youthful Genius Who Is Frescoing a Large St. Louis Hote". St. Louis has another prodigy, says a letter from that city, and she may be seen at any hour during the day, dressed in a brown blouse skirt, jumper jacket *> ^1/3 ? 1 ifrrmml hat. frftSCOinff the walls of the Southern Hotel. Her name is Carrie Meyers and she resides with her father at 106 South Fourth street. Though only fifteen years of age Carrie has, unaided, designed and executed the frescoing for a large number of the finest l rooms in the hotel, and is regarded by her employers as an able and accomplished fresco artist. She is very pretty and graceful, also exceedingly shy. Under the protecting presence of her t father, she escorted the reporter to her ; studio, where all-sized canvases of as many different subjects graced the walls in charming confusion. Luscious bunches of fruits and flowers hung beside and over meadow and wood scenes, and an old-fashioned water-mill, lively and dripping, contrasted with landscapes and portraits, all executed with remarkable skill. Carrie is not only an artist, she is also a musician, and has scattered >>wvn?/? hor wwm a niimhftr of instru - merits, which she plays just to while away the tune. A bass-fiddle occupies one corner and an organ another. On the center-table lay a flute and piccolo, and on the organ a violin. She plays all of *>ianr> v/oll Elastic Sand tone. .Tbe Charleston Sun says: "Id south em Nevada, in Georgia and in California is found a peculiar substance known jjs elastic sandstone It is ur.doubtedly a stone, yet it as flexible as icdia rubber.
