The general Improvement in business the past year, with the prespeet el a very large in

geration, SO per cent, mere goods were imported than the country could possibly consume. As
a consequence, there lias been a great break in prices in a great many fabrics, which wc shall

Bernliardt's Jewels.
A Glance at Seme of the French Artiste's
liiamends Brilliant Gems, .Etc.
Mile. Sarah Bernhardt has a wonderful
collection of diamonds and precious
stones, about which little has yet been
said in the newspapers. A portion of the
gems were recently displayed in St. Leuis
and attracted large and curious crowds.
The Glebe-Democrat of that city says :
The articles en exhibition are valued at
$73,000, and arc but a fraction of the jew
els possessed by 3111c. Bernhardt. The
most remarkable article in the collection
is a stomacher of geld and precious stones,
te which is attached a girdle of blazing
diamonds, the entire piece being worn by
the owner in each performance of Adri-
enne Lecenvreur, and presenting a won
derfully beautiful and brilliant appear
ance. The stomacher is valuable, net
only for the metal and gems composing
it, but because it is a sample of the old
English or Etruscan work new se rare
and upon which collectors place a very
high estimate. It is the product of an art
that was lest centuries age. The stom
acher is known at least te be 600 years
old ; it came originally from India and was
in possession of the royal family of Eng
land until the Prince of Wales, en the oc
casion of Mile. Bernliardt's appearance in
Conden, being dissatisfied with the girdle
she were in the role of Adrienne Lccou Lcceu
vreur, sent her the stomacher and girdle,
which the Princess of Wales afterward
told Mile. Bernhardt te keep. The body
of the stomacher is of line geld wire
beaten out by hand ; it is 12 te 14 inches
in length and 3 in width. Upen this
space are set six cups of filigree geld, each
containing large turquoises, emeralds and
rubies. The girdle is studded with dia
monds. The appearance of the article is
beautiful in the extreme, and its money
value is at least $3,000. Te a collector it
would be weith double that amount.
A diamond necklace of rosettes, sprays
and leaves is the next piece. The article
is supposed te present a rustic scene, and
the design is marvcleusly wrought out,
every detail bcinir skilfully and artistically
limsncd. lucre arc six rosettes en the
front of the nceklacc, each having a 2-cai at
brilliant in the centre, and the rest of the
flower being richly imbedded with small
stones. There arc mere than 100 diamonds
in each rosette, and the jewels appear like
flowers of light when seen in a gas
illumiuated room. The rosettes are held
together by strings of diamonds, which
arc plainly seen at the ends of the
necklace, and each flower may be un
screwed from the chain and used for a hair
ornament. The value of this necklace is
$1,000.
A string of diamonds, or, mere appre-
priatcly speaking, a yaid of diamonds, is
next te be seen. The string, which is of
the best geld, is net less than three feet
in length, and diamonds of all sizes, from
the smallest up te one caret in weight, arc
imbedded in its full length. There are
ever 1,000 diifeient stones in the string,
which may be worn as a loose necklace,
outlining the shane of the bodice with a
continuous line of light. Frem the string
a pendant, imbedded with diamonds, sup
ports a massive horseshoe of diamonds,
the emblem of "geed luck" measuring
four inches across, and the surface of the
shoe being illuminated with jets of Hume
from 300 stones. All around the shoe
there is a row of seventeen large diamonds,
none lighter than one carat. The value of
the piece is placed at $2,000.
A bracelet of alternate diamonds and
sapphires, twelve squares each, with four
carat diamond set in each square and a
sitiglc 3-caiat sapphire occupying each of
the ether squares, is a remarkably beauti
ful and valuable piece of jewelry. The
settings are superb, and the appearance of
the bracelets surpasses anything in the
line of ornaments that the writer has ever
seen. The value of this single piece is
$7,000.
Anether bracelet, consisting of twenty
four two carat diamonds, is a charming
affair, and is estimated te be worth $4,000.
A golden crown, four inches long and
two inches deep, with diamond and sap
phire settings, is one of the extraordinary J
nair ornaments el winch there are se many
in the collection. inc crown has mnm
pei:u, ivuii uppeu wiin ;i curat sumo.
It is imbedded with five large and glowing
sapphires, surrounded by rows of small
and large diamonds. The value of the
crown is $1,000. Anether hair ornament
is a crocodile, six inches in length, with
outstretched feet and wriggling body, the
animal being depicted in the act of mov
ing. The amphibian is a mass of diamonds
there being 200 or 300 stones in the body,
the brilliants being of all sizes, and the
value is placed at $1,000.
A third bracelet in the collection is a
siring efcmeraldSjOf a rich sea-green color
flanked by smaller strings of diamonds. In
all there are thirty-four stones in the
bracelet, eighteen of them emeralds, each
weighing from one te three carats. Each
diamond weighs three-fourths of a carat.
The emeralds are the most valuable por
tion of the jewel, the color being a clear
green and the brightest and purest ever
seen in this market. The value of the
bracelet is $2,000.
A drop or pendant holds a place in the
collection and is one of the finest speci
mens of the true yellow diamond new ex
tant. The color is perfect and is as plainly
visible by gas light as during the day. The
gem is in the shape of a bottle, weight 13
carats, and could net be purchased for less
than $3,000. The cutting of the stone is
as remarkable as its quality, and, alto
gether, the pendant is a magnificent piece
of work, rellectingtlie utmost credit upon
the lapidary who turned it out. It repre
sents great and difficult labor, and had
te stand a test that might have made the
stone comparatively valueless but for the
skill of the man who handled it.
A crescent with five hundred te six hun
dred diamonds of all sizes, some as heavy
as one carat, is a fourth hair ornament. It
is worth $2,000.
The fifth ornament for the hair is a huge
butterfly, whose wings, if extended, would
measure ten inches from tip te tip. As it
is, three wings are shown, each heavily im
bedded with diamonds whose brightness is
beautifully relieved by rows of beryl-cut
sapphires. The butterfly's head is a mass of
diamonds, and the eyes are glowing red
rubies. Twe white pearls of enormous
size and beautiful sheen represent the sec
tiens of the body, beinjr set in a bed of
diamonds. The beryl-cut sapphires weigh
from three-fourths of a carat te three car
ats each. The entire butterfly i3 valued
at $4,000.
A wasp makes the fifth hair ornament.
Its wings are of diamonds : its body is one
large bright carbuncle ; its eyes are rubies
and the sting is aii emerald. The value is
$500.
A fourth bracelet is in the shage of a
serpent ; its body is'compesed entirely of
diamonds, there being at least 200 stones
in it, and the only ether gems are two
large rubies set in the head te represent
the reptile's eyes. The serpent bracelet
is worth $1,000.
A string of pearls is shown which has
been used for a bracelet. There are five
large black pearls en the string and nine
enormous white ones. It is impossible te
place any value upon the black pearls,
which are very rare ; but 3Ir. Speyer
thought the bracelet was worth, at the
lowest figure, $2,000.
A pair of buckles, set with diamonds
and sapphires, and valued at $1,000 ; and
a case containing seven large bangle brace
lets, each a delicate strand of diamonds
set in solid fine geld, with large centre
stones of diamond, ruby or sapphire, the
whole valued at $2,000 complete the dis
play. Mile. Bernhardt says she contemplates
having a large necklace of diamonds made
te cost at least $5,000, and for this pur
pose is collecting brilliants wherever she
gees.
A Kiss of Death.
A Wife Fatally Embraces her Bead Has.
band,
Cerenor Janney en Saturday investi
gated the cause of the death of Mrs. Emma
E. Careless, of Philadelphia who was re
ported te have taken her own life from
grief at the death of her husband. The
evidence showed that Mrs. Careless was 23
years of age and of prepossessing appear
auce. She was married in 1876. In the
early part of last week her husband,
Geerge Caieless, jr., was stricken down
with sickness. It was net at first knewfr
from what he was suffering. At length,
however, it was discovered that he had a
severe case of small pox. He was tender
ly nursed at his father's house by his wife.
In spite of all the efforts made te restore
him te health he rapidly sank lower until
he died en last Friday afternoon.
Duiing her husband's sickness Mrs.
Careless would scarcely leave the room.
Every whim of the patient was humored
by the tender wife who lingered at his
bedside. "When all was ever, Geerge
Careless, the father of the deceased, went
into the room and attempted gently te
lead the grief-stricken watcher away.
Mis. Careless then for the first time
seemed te realize that her husband and
the father of her two little children was
really dead. She sprang from her father-in-law's
arms and embraced the body
lying rigid en the bed passionately kissing
the lips, eyes and face. Ne amount of
entreaty could get her away. Her father-in-law
at length attempted te force her
from the bedside. She resisted, and when
he persisted drew a small pistol from her
pocket and quickly placing the muzzle
close te her left breast, fired. The ball
entered the breast about an inch below
the nipple, glanced off en the fifth rib,
passed downward and ledged near her
spinal column. This was between 3 and 4
o'clock en Friday-afternoon at the house
of Geerge Careless, sr., Ne. 1330 Daricn
street.
Fer a moment after the sheeting Mr.
Careless was tee horrified te de anything
when he picked the woman up and car
ried her down stairs. A doctor was imme
diately sent for, but after the first excite
ment was ever the woman seemed te
suffer very little from her wound. She
was even able te get up and walk around.
She several times exclaimed, however, that
if that would net kill her she would sheet
herself again. The physician advised her
net te go te the funeral of her husband en
Sunday, but she would net listen te him,
and when her father-in-law seemed te hesi
tate about taking her, she told him ihat if
he did net take her te her husmnd's
funeral she would never forgive him as
long as she lived. Mr. Careless was at
length prevailed upon, and obtaining a
carriage took her te the funeral. On Mon
day Mrs. Careless seemed sick and she was
put te bed, and en Tuesday she was much
worse. It was believed by these watching
her that this sickness was caused by the
wound she had inflicted en herself. She
would net allow anyone te de anything
for her, and repeatedly stated that she was
determined te join her husband. She con
tinued te grew worse until ".he died yester
day afternoon.
Dr. William L. Atlec testified that he
had attended Mrs. Careless for some years
and that he had been callcc. in with Dr.
Shapleigh te attend her in her last sick
ness. Dr. Shapleigh and himself, he
slated, had both come te the conclusion
that the pistol shot wound had nothing
whatever te de with the death of the
woman ; that the ball had ledged where
it could easily be extracted and net in a
necessarily dangerous position ; that the
woman had died by bleed-poisoning from
small-pox.
"Hew de you think this bleed poison
ing was done, doctor?'' asked the cor
oner. "It was undoubtedly done when the
woman threw herself upon the corpse of
her husband and kissed him. Iu this way
germs of the disease wen imparted te
her."
The jury rendered their veidict in ac
cordance with the testimony.
A Mether's Terrible Crime.
Killing Her Twe Children anil Then Try Try
lnte Kill Hcrseir.
A most terrible case of murder and sui
cide has occurred at Whitcvalc, a thriving
village in the township of Pickering, On
tario county, en the Terente aud N ippiss
ing railroad. Seme time early in the morn
ing, Mrs. Shepard, a resident of the vil
lage, murdered her two children and then
inflicted such injuries upon herself that'
she cannot possibly survive. Shepard is a
well-te de farmer in Markham township,
and Mrs. Shepard is a daughter of Mr.
William Steeper, a neighboring farmer.
They have been married about five years.
It is supposed they did net live happily to
gether. A woman named Resser, who has been
in the habit of visiting Mrs. Shepard,
tells the following story : " About nine
o'clock I went ever te sec if she needed
anything, and when I reached the deer,
but before opening it, I thought I heard a
strange noise inside. I listened a moment
and heard it again, a strange gurgling
sound. Knewing that Mr?. Shepard was
subject te very severe fits of vomiting, I
supposed that was what the matter and
opened the deer and walked into the
kitchen. I did net observe Mrs. Shepard
at first, but en the fleer beside the bed lay
the body of Geerge. Just behind thestove
the baby was lying in a peel of bleed, its
threat cut from ear te car. Turning, I saw
Mrs. Shepard lying curled up at the ether
side of the room covered with bleed, her
head turned almost under her body, se
that I could net sec her face. She was
apparently dead and the fleer was covered
with bleed. A bather knife and revolver
Were lying en the fleer. I was unable te
move for an instant anu then 1 ran out
screaming for help."
The neighbors seen gathered in and took
what care they could of Mrs. Shepard,
who was net dead, as first supposed. The
house in which the Shepards live is a stone
building, one and a half stories hiirli. On
the ground fleer are the kitchen and two
bed rooms. In the centre of the kitchen
stands the oteve.at the right hand a table,
and en the left cupboard. At the right
side of the stove lay the eldest boy, Geerge,
a bright little fellow, three years of age.
He had been shot with a revolver and
killed instantly. There was no sign cf a
struggle beyond his clenched fists. The
ball had gene through his hcait and he
lay with outstretched arms, his face as
calm and peaceful as if he were asleep.
Ne bleed had come from the wound;
mere was no dishgunng; no gaping
weuucis te shock the eve of the beholder.
In striking contrast lay the ether child,
only seven months old. It lay in a peel
of bleed, its head almost completely sov sev
ercd by the cruel stroke of the knife, the
peer little limbs twisted convulsively, show
ing tue agony m which it had died. hen
lifted, the head fell back, showing the
severed arteries and windpipe. The
mother was a terrible sight. Hew many
wounds she has could net be ascertained
but, with all her less of bleed, she had
still sufficient strength te crawl te the
deer, which Mrs. Kesser had left wide
open when she ran out, and te close it, and
then draff herself te a chair, asamst which
she was leaning when Mr. White and the
ethers entered. Between the two children
lay the revolver and near Mrs. Shepard
lay the knife. In the evening Mrs. Shep
ard rallied sufficiently te relate hew she
did the murder and what caused her te de
it. She said Geerge had disobeyed her
cemmauds several times and at last she be
came enraged, and, seizing the revolver.
she shot him. She had evidently steed diZ
rectly ever him, as the ball ball entered
the left breast, high up toward the neck,
and passed down through the heart. After
killing Geerge she thought she might as
well kill herself and the baby, se she had
taken the knife and cut the peer little
thing's threat and thrown it en the fleer.
She then shot herself in the left breast, the
ball striking a rib and passing round the
body. She next shot herself in the threat.
and then taking the knife had stabbed
herself in the threat several times, cutting
her chin in a fearful maimer, and finally
had drawn the knife across her threat,
almost severing her windpipe, but net ir
juring either of the main arteries.
A Geed Stcry or tinvut.
"Make a Vacancy, or 1 Will," and He Did.
Washington Kepublic.
Duiing the late administration of Grant
there chanced te be a young man in one
of the departments, who, like se many
ethers then and new, had entered en that
horrible declivity which begins with the
gilded tippling-saloon and ends who shall
say where ? He was a capable clerk, and
his sprees and shortcomings were condon
ed for the sake of the memory of his hon
ored father, Senater . But the read
was sure ; and in time with a discharge
in his pocket and a drunkard'c record
behind him, step by step he passed
the down grade of dissipation, until
wife, children and friends cut loose
aud the quendan gentleman slept
in the parks and lived en charity.
He was abandoned by all all save the
angel of mercy hovering near, though un
seen. A temperance reform movement
claimed him as a trophy, and he began the
upward struggle. Wife and children came
back ; but who believes in a " reformed
drunkard" ? It was a struggle for years
te find bread for the little ones, but he
fought bravely and, disappointing these
who looked for his failure, he held en, and
even saved ethers from going ever the
precipice. President Grant, who lad
known his father, heard of his struggle
and sent for him. Congratulating him en
his reform he said :
" I want te help you ; what can I de ?"
" I want work," was the reply.
" Yeu shall have it. Where would you
prefer te go in new scenes or old '."'
The young man said : " Send me, sir,
where I left a blackened record. It may
encourage ethers if I regain a geed name
and I would be mere useful in my former
position."
The president wrote a note te the secre
tary of that department and handed it te
the young mau, who left, but cre long re
turned with an anxious face.
' The secretary sent out word that my
application would go en file ?"
. The president, with an iron-clad cxple
ftvc, said : "Yeu can't put your wife and
childicn en file, can you?" Writimr
another note and handing it te him, he
said : "Give this in person and bring me
an answer." Armed with this missive he
confronted the awful presence beyond the
baize doers and met an impatient refusal:
"What shall I tell the president?" he
dimly inquired.
"That there arc no vacancies."
When this was delivered at the White
Heuse the imperturbable Grant, biting
the end of a cigar, seized a red-ink pen
and wrote across the face of his former
note : "Make a vacancy, or I will !"
Yet again did the young mau return un
successful. The president obtained tem
porary employment for his friend, taking
him in person te another department, and
awaited the cabinet meeting the follow
ing day. Here the president seemed as
quietly imperturbable as a sphynx. As
the members left the room the president
