America's Crown Jewels.
WBW lire aware that in the boud
faults of the Treasury are deposited
r for safe keeping a large quantity of dia
monds and other precious stones which
will form the nucles of the crown jew
els when the country becomes an em
pire. These gems all have histories.
Among them is a bottle four or five
inches long filled with diamonds, and
there are many other kinds of precious
stones. Some of them are set in gold
ornaments, intended for personal
wear. The first collection of which we
have any authentic account has been in
the custody of the Treasury officials
for over foity-flve years. They were
sent to President Van Buren by the
Imaum of Oraanf whose capital city of
Muscat, in Arabia,on the Persian Gulf,
is the most widely known of all Ara
bian cities to outsiders. The Imaum
was the dude politician of Arabia, the
best dandy of all the Bedouin kin, and
having found that Martin Van Buren
was two-fold sharper, keener, subtler
and dandier then he was himself he
sent these diamonds and pearls to him
as a tribute to superior genius and
morality. It takes a pretty smart
scouudrel to discouut an Arab cut
throat of the higher classes, but the
Dutch patron of Kinderhook could
do it,nnd the Imauman of Oman allow
ed he could take the cake—and the dia
monds,too. But after he took them he
did not know what to do with them.
H He had an elephant on his hands. He
could not accept them for himself, al
though he wanted to do so, as the Con*
stitution 'expressly forebade any person
connected with the Government accept
ing any present or decoration from auy
foreign power or potentate without ex
press authority of Congress. This au
thority Congress would not give. In
fact, it was inexpedient at that time to
ask for it. So the jewels were Gnally
turned over to the Treasury, where
they are now.
Bat the Imaum's gift is uotall. There
are in the collection superb jewels re
ceived at other times and in various
ways. Turquoises blue as Syrian sum
mer skies ;.emerald like the reflection
of Ireland's green turf in her crystal-
T waved lakes ; rubies, oriental rubies,
that flash a world of liquid crimson
light till the eye grows dim with gaz
ing ; sapphire pe&rls as white as the
foam of the sea, and opals that shim
mer with resinous radiance as only the
precious opal can—all these are there.
There are many beautiful and many
quaint ornaments, jewelled brooches
and ring and sword hilts : be*diamond
led creeses brought from the Malay Isles
by Wilkes and lots of other rare and
valuable trinkets. They have no defin
ite owners and are placed in the Treas
ury vaults because they are too valua
ble to throw away, and nobody dare to
claim them, because no body has any
right to them. What'disposition to
make of them is a puzzle. Congress
alone can authorize their disposition,
and Congress, although asked several
limes to do so, has declined to take any
notice of them.
A Baloon Frozen in the Air.
Says an English exchange : A dan
ger we have never heard of as menacing
an aeronant before or since,nearly prov
ed fatal to Mr. Gypson, who made an
ascent from Bedford, many years ago.
When about two miles and a half above
the earth, the gas was suddenly affect
ed by a rapid and powerful expansion,
so that it becam 1 necessary to open the
yalye and relieve the baloon of the ex
treme pressure inflicted on the whole
surface of the silk. But here arose an
extraordinary incident—the hose of the
safety valve,which had been tied up be
fore leaving the earth, to prevent the
admission of atmospheric air,was found
to be frozen quite hard, so that it be
came impossible to extend it to allow
the superfluous gas to blow off. Under
these circumstances, Mr. Gypson en
deavored to open the valve at the crown
of the baloon, but that, too, from the
peculiar description of luting with
which the valye was luted, was found
to be inseperately frozen. As Mr. Gyp
son has but one alternative, he quickly
passed himself through the hoop, and,
with*his knife, made a large incision in
the lower part of the baloon. The gas
streamed forth in one continuous
stream through a two-foot opening, and
and the gas that had been passed into
the silken giobe,an invisible vapor rush
ed out as white as the steam from a
steam engine, such was the effect of
the frosty air upon it. Thus the
aeronauts were rescued from the jaws
of destruction, for, had not such an ex
pedient as the knife been adopted,noth-
Wpr- ing could have prevented the silk giv
ing way to the extreme force then act
ing upon it,at 3i miles above the earth,
for such was then their altitude, as
shown by the sinking of the mercury in
& the barometer.
w The Missouri father did not pursue
his eloping daughter, but sent a clergy
man on a swift horse to overtake the
couple, in order that the marriage cere
mony might be performed properly.

Troubling a Postmaster.
A lantern-jawed young man stopped at
the post-office recently, and yelled out :
'Anything for the Wattses V
George Poteet, our polite postmaster,
replied,'No, there is not.'
'Anything for Jane Watts ?'
'Nothing.'
'Anything for Ace Watts ?'
'No.'
'Anything for Bill Watts V'
'No, sir.'
'Anything for Tom Watts ?'
'No, nothing.'
'Anything for 'Fool Joe' Watts ?'
'No, nor Dick Watts.nor Jim Watts,
nor Sweet Watts, nor any other Watts,
dead, living, unborn, native, foreign,
civilized, or uncivilized, savage or bar
bar ions, male or female, white or black,
franchised or disfranchised, naturalized
or otherwise. No, there is positively
nothing for any of the Wattses, either
individually, severally jointly, now and
forever, one and inseparable.
The boy looked at the postmaster in
astonishment, and said :
'Please look if there is anything for
John Thomas Watts.'
