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- (

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.

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.

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.)

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

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 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

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. No one short uv "
er millioncr, ho said, could have his j
daughter.
"Giaut Jack drew his pistol from his j.
belt, thought erwhile. an' then put it ^
back erg'in. j f
" 'If yer wa'n't Clara's father.'said he. ! (

A Disgusted Cat.
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.

stripped of all imagery, and in the didactic

While the moonstone of the ancients was

mineral of to-day is not so well named. It
is known as adularia, from Mount Adula,

Alps, in that group to which the St. Gothard
pass gives its name, and whose bowels
have since been pierced by the railway tun?

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. !

"What's all this row about?" said an

The shopman began to make some explanation.
"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

Sud might have added to tbe list of
states where tbe flexible sandstone or ;
itacolumite is found the name of North j

ignorant that it has been long well
known to exist and in great abundance
in the Linville mountains in Burke and
