Myopia, or " near-sight," i, by tiro• the
most important, as it i, also one of the
roost common of the refractive defects
of the eye. In the other forms of ab
normal refraction we have merely a de
fect of construction - , giving rise, it is
true, to annoying disabilities, but hav
ing no tendency to further• changes of
structure or function. Near-sightedness,
on the contrary, where it exists in a
high degree, is not simply an infirmity,
as is usually supposed, but is in many
cases associated with grave disease of
the posterior parts of the eyeball, hav
ing progressive tendencies, and not sel
dom resulting in loss of all useful vision.
It has furthermore, a strong disposition
to hereditary descent, reappearing in
the children or grand-children of my•
apes.
The defect in form, in short-sighted
eyes, does not consist, as was formerly
supposed, In an undue prominence of
the front part of the eye, but in an
elongation of the whole globe from be
fore backwards, so that It assumes an
olive or egg [shape, instead of being

round. This lengthening mostly occurs
at the back part of the eyeball, and is
not to be observed at first sight; but in
many eases we may see that the eye has
this altered form, and extends back far
ther than usual in the socket, by draw
ing the lids apart at the side next the
temple, the eye being at the same time
turned towards the nose.
All the coats of the eye are implicated
in these changes, which take place,
smnetimes by gradual expansion at
every point, but usually by a more con
siderable giving way around the en
trance of the optic nerve. In examina
tion of such eyes after death, a positive
bulging of the:sclera is seen at this
point. During life we can observe these
changes, and watch their progress, by
means of the ophthalmoscope. 'Phis

illuminate and explore the interior of
the eye, has thrown new light upon the

its aid we are able to follow the morbid
changes as they are succe , sively de
veloped. We ennui distinctly observe the
progressive giving way of the retina,
optic nerve, choroid, and sclera, to form
the bulging which is termed posterior
staphyloma; can notice the congestion
and other changes fwilowing impru

of its especial function, is of course ex

'File changes I have deseribed are in

ditions have become so unfavorable that
the morbid tendencies can no longer be
successfully opposed, and each year sees
a downward progress. Even where the
staphylomatous enlargement has not
been excessive, separation of the retina
will sometimes suddenly occur. I have
repeatedly seen cases where this had
taken place within a single twenty
four hours, after some unusual exertion
of, the ores, and where blindness was
:drently nearly complete.
It is quite time that the attention of
the community was drawn to a matter
of so 11111111 importance. At lua,t. im
some classes of society, the possilahty of
blindness at or heat' middle life folio
changes incident to excessive near-sight
(slues:, as well as the predisposition to
I ransmit the sane' infirmities and liabil
ities, ought to be taken into account in
forming matrimonial alliances, like any
other impending disability from incur
able ailment. The fact of its being fre
quently inherited once understood, par
ents should watch for any early mani
festations of its presence in their chil
dren, and take measures to prevent its
progressive increase. Teachers should
impose upon myopic eyes as little as
possible of studies requiring close appli
cation, even though at the tinle the
child (lakes no complaint. It is ques
tionable if our system of education, aug
menting as it does the frequency and
degree of near-sightedness, kali ad Va Hee
in CiViliZatiOn. It would be better to go
back at once to the oral teachings of the
schcols of Athens, than to go on creating
our favorite type of educated men and
women, at the expense of their own and
their children's eyesight.
No rnedical skill can bring back these
delicate tissues, once distended, to their
f wmer healthy condition, or even in
some cases prevent, the steady onward
march of the disease. l'oit prevention
is in a measure within our power. I\ ly •
(Tic eyes should not he oso,l oonlinu
oosly i'or small objects, and especially
with the head bent forward; tine and
bad print sboUld be a fatal objection Ma
school isalk; the use of lexicons, or close
mathematical work, should be limited
and interrupted; written exercises
should be almost dispensed with ; and
the child should be spared search upon
the map tree unimportant places. The
book should be held up when possible,
and the pupil should not keep his head
leaned over his desk, nor be :Wowed to
study by a feeble light.
If by these precautions the child
reaches adult age without any consider
able development of his myopia, he will
thenceforth be comparatively safe, as
changes are less likely to occur after this
period. Ilut if, front thoughtless mis
management, large awl progressive
structural alterations of his eyes have
been" brought on during his years of
.unity, he may not only lied himself
disabled front pursuing such other oc
cupations as he may desire, but may be
in a condition foreboding further mis
fortune.
Except when slight, myopia lessens
little if at all with age; but it some
times happens:with those who are only
a little near-sighted that, while still re
quiring concave glasses for clear vision
or distant objects, they will, after mid
dle life, also need convex glasses for
reading.
The use of glasses for distant vision is
often objected to by parents and friends,
from an idea that the shortsightedness
will thus be increased, or in the expec
tation that the eyes will become of nor
mal power at a late period if glasses are
not worn. Both of these opinions are
erroneous. Myopic eyes are not injured
by wearing Suitable glasses ; but, on
the contrary, are often preserved from
injurious pressure on the globe in the
indulgence of the habit of nearly clos
ing the lids in order to obtain a clearer
impression of the images of distant ob
jects, as is commonly done when glasses
are not worn. Nor will the myopia be
appreciably lessened by abstinence from
glasses. It is best, therefore, not to de
prive young people of the many plea
sures arising from distinct vision of
things around them in the illusive hope
that the great ' ,sacritice thus made will
be compensated by any benefit.:
Such glasses should be selected as
make distant objects clear witbout les
lening their size and giving them an
unnatural brilliancy. If no glass gives
this clearness, the acuteness of percep
tion may have already become impaired
or there may be a complication of the
myopia with astigmatism. Many my
opes use the same glasses for reading or
music which they wear for distant vi
sion. It is best, however, when the
myopia is but slight, to dispense with
these in reading, sewing, etc., or to wear
a lower number, such as will allow of
distinct sight at the distance where the
took or :music would ordinarily be
placed. .11u:st In' W. WILLIAMS, M.D.
I have gut a cough. What shall I
take to cure it
Most of us are ready with an im
mediate and confident answer to such a
question ; but the doctor will not pre
scribe till he has asked a number of
questions, which seem to have no more
to do with the cough than with his
wooden trumpet, or stethoscope, which
he so provokingly persists in putting
to every out-of-the-way part of the chest
while he makes us strip our wraps
and ruffle our smooth linen..
What we want is to have the cough
cured; re don't want to be told that
the "bronchial membrane is irritable,
;,trid that we must give up our evening
parties or evening church," still less
that the eough is due to a gouty tenden
cy, and that we must avoid !neat sup
pers and porter, port wine and filberts.

-symptoms" of the real evil to be com
bated. That which the patient thinks
of absorbingly, the skilful pfaetitioner
only regards so far as it serves to indi
cate how and in what part the body is
mha•ted. What, then, can be more nat
ural than that tile patient, finding his
immediate needs are not responded to,
goeii, in ,guest of one Who is ready to
promise immediate cure of every sypm
tom. Hence it comes to pass, that
quaeks thrive because they supply ex
actly what is asked for, although they
have not the ability to discover the cause
and nature of a disorder. Ilence arises,
also, the very common belief in "patent
medicines" and "infallible specifics."
It is the habit of the trained physi
cian to look more to the hidden causes
of disease t h an to the surface symptoms;
but the patient thinks only of the re
moval of the symptoms. An illustra
tion trill explain our meaning.
A coughing patient applies to a
doo
tor of the old-fashioned school. The
cough is found, on inquiry, to lie dry
anti spasmodic, and Sl,lllO medicine is
given to loosen the dry cough a nd con
trol the spasm, or, to use the technical
terms, an expectorant and 11.11 ti-SpaS
modic mixture (for example, squill and
prussic acid, is prescribed.
If the sufferer apply to a somewhat
more modern practitioner, he Will be
questioned asto the origin and:durationof
the disorder, and, perhaps, the ear will

looked into. The patient is told that he
has "bronchitis" or "enhged tonsils,"

these allbetions. •
Hut, it bur patient vonsults a physician
of the modern selusd, his vice box and
windpipe will he scrutinized with the
aid ola lamp and mirror i laryngoscope;
his chest will be "explored ;" it will be
"percussed"—"thuniped," as he calls it
—ad listened to with the stethoscope
lausculatiom; its size and movements
will be measured. Nor is this all. The
doctor must needs in:n.:ire ill about
the imeestors—whether the father was
asthmatic or the mother consump
tive— and may even want to
know about the aunts and uncles,
brothers, sisters, and children. Ile asks
whether the (we:math:ft is a dusty one,
whether the residence is in a damp or
bleak Meality, the rooms ill-ventilated
or gas-lighted, what have been the pre
vious the dfct, times of rest
and exercises, and fifty other seemingly
inquisitive questions, which our old
fashioned friend would never have
dreamed of. At last he comes to the
conclusion that there is a red spot near
the vocal cordi—"a granulation on the
arytenowpiglottidean fol.1"—or that
an out-of-the-way lobe of the lung has
lost its elasticity, owing to the fact
that, in eMisecinenee of it l'rae.ur

Can we wonder, then, that the patient
who wants his cough (-med will seek the
doctor who undertakes to cure it oft'
hand, rather than one who devotes his -
attention to ulterior matters which the
patient dues not wish to think of?
'Where can we look for a remedy for
this state of things? Must the doctor
intimate the eminent counsel in the
story, who imbibed unlimited libations
of porter " to bring his intellect down
to die level of the
.judge's," and, instead
of doing what he deems to be best, give
the patient what lie asks fur? Let us
hope rather that an improved knowl
edge of the human body and its need , ,
such as our better schools are begin
ning to supply, will prove the true rem
edy,and that the public will, ere another
generation has passed away, possess that
appreciation of the first principles of
dietetics and sanitary science, which
will enable them rationally to judge
between the straight-forward recom
mendations of t h e practitioner of

ted nivsticisuh of the tyro and the quack.
The old-fashioned doctors often, it is
true, made up by discrimination what
others gained by seientille methods, and
seeured perhaps better results t ban those
who were guided by the nets lights.—
Vet the right use of instruments of pre
cision—such as the stethoscope, micro
scope, or thermometer—must lie of real
advantage. Facilities for the discovery
of changes in the body ought not surely
to make men worse prartitioners ; and

In the net of breathing we take air in
to lie lungs and then expel it. If the
air is impure or dusty, it irritates the
sensitive lining of the air-passages, and
produces cough, which differs from or
dinary expiration in that it is violent,
sudden, and noisy, instead of gentle
and noiseless. The air is quickly and
deeply drawn in,and then violently and
explosively expelled, and with the air
any accumulated or irritant matters are
expelled too.
r a grain of dust gets into the eye, an
immediate contraction of the lids ensues;
so with the bronchial membrane, the
presence of an irritant is the immediate
determining . cause of cough, which is
really nature's ellbrt to get rid of the
evil. Such being the ease, it needs no
great penetration to see that what We
wantis rather to encourage than to in
terfere with the etthrt of nature, yet
this last is the very thing that an ignor
ant patient often demands.
The nerves, which act as sentinels,
and convey information of the presence
of foreign matters, may also be irritated
in other ways, as by teething in chil
dren, or by disturbance of the digestion,
for the seine nerves Supply both lungs
and stomach. Cough may also be pro
duced voluntarily, as when we wish to
"cough down" a tiresome speaker, or
relieve the tedium of a monotonous ad
dress.
The tonsils, which lie on either side
of the back part of the mouth, are apt
to get large and prominent, so as some
times to touch one another and inter
fere with breathing and swallowing;
they have no nerves of common sensa
tion, and hence may be the unrecog
nized cause of troublesome cough. The
uvula too, which hangs from the back
of the palate between the tonsils, may
get so long as to tickle the back of the
tongue, and cause violent and incessant
coughing.
The larynx, or voice box, forms a

visible prominence in the neck, called
" Adam's apple."
The opening to the voice-box and
windpipe is closed by a flap or valve,
which most of us must have noticed at
the root of an ox tongue, as seen in a
butcher's window or when served up to
table. This gristly flap, called the
"epiglottis," sometimes gets red and in
flamed, and then produces a very annoy
ing and characteristic cough ; at times
too it gets so swollen as almost to block
up the narrow chink, "glottis," through
which air passes to the windpipe and
lungs.
We ran feel the "windpipe" if our
neck is thin, for it passes down just be
neath the skin from the larynx into the
chest, and divides when behind the
breast hone into two branches, one for
each lung.
The windpipe is quite separated from
the "gullet," or "red lane," which runs
behind it ; and air can pass up and down
the one while food is passing down the
other.
In spite of the beautiful valvular ar
rangement to prevent such an accident,
a crumb of bread or a few drops of fluid
will sometimes '• go the wrong way," i.
e. enter the windpipe instead of the gul
let; the consequence is a strangling sen
sation and tit of coughing, during which
the fluid is ejected, the eyes - water, and
a minute or two elapses hell pre we regain
our aceustomed composure.
Both windpipe and gullet are lined
by a moist red membrane, continuous
with and similar to that which lines
the mouth and nose—the uvula and
tonsils. If from any cause the lining
of the gullet is inflamed or irritated,
that of tile windpipe is apy to he affect
ed also. We all know that when the
stomach i , deranged the tongue getsout

which covers the tongue is continuous

we horn something about tl:e surfaceof
the stomach.
A (lerman philosopher recently in
ented an electric lamp which, when
swallowed, illuminates tine stomach as
brightly as the sun illumines the pro
truded tongue; but as it is easier for
the patient to put out the tongue than
to swallow the lamp, and for the doctor
to look into tine mouth than into the
stomach, the practical value of this in
genious invention nosy well be doubted.
Ju=t as the tongue is red or coated
When SWlllaCil is, SO the epiglottis,
uvula, and tonsils are similarly altered.
The unnatural state of these parts gives
rise to a sense of irritation; au attempt
is made to remove this by "hawking,"
"clearing up," or coughing. Such, then,
being the rationale of "stomach cough,"
it is evident how useless it would be to
:ate apt to remove it by employing rem
edies which act only on the lungs.
Cough arising front flatulence may often
be relieved by ginger and sal-volatile:or
better by the avoidance of hot tea, too
frequent meals, and other things that
engender the evil.
NVe SOMPtimes hear of " ear cough,"
or cough due to irritation in the tui,e

ternal ear; treatment must in this case

to the stomach or the lungs. These
spongy organs, together with the heart, '
till the chest. The lungs consist of chins
tic tissue, and are enclosed in an invest- i
ing membrane called the "pleura,''
which also lines the inner side of the',
ribs.
'rile xvindpiiie divides, \%e have
said, into a right and left iii
"bronchus" and each ()I' these again
subdivide, forming a number of branch
ing channek, " bronchial tubes," which
penetrate to the fart he-t recesr(cs of ttn)
lungs.
Each little bronchial tube ends in, or
communicates with, several little sacs,
for the object of the tube is to carry
air to the blood-vessels which cover the
lung sacs. The fresh air parts with
its oxygen, and brings buck carbonic
acid, while the blood gets rid of its
carbonic acid and receives instead vivi
fying oxygen, changing meanwhile in
color front blue to red. If either the
nir or the blood is impure, respiration is l i
imperfect and health is lost. Cough,
due to this kind of faulty respiration, is
often a valuable guide to the detection
of the true evil.
Beneath the mucous• lining of the
bronchial tubes is a layer of muscular
and elastic tissue, which by its contrac
tion expels the air and forcibly removes
phlegm in the act of coughing,. Minute
waving cilia cover the membrane and
sweep away—as by myriads of soft
brooms--ollending matters from the
tubes. 'file surface of the membrane
secretes a lloid called "mucous," like
that which moistens the mouth and
nose: this way be suppressed, and had

in "catarrh," or "cold in the head."
" Bronchitis," or" cold in the Chest, "
begins with undue dryness ur nhenr
bralle. The bronchial surfaces lackinL:
their natural lahrieatit are easily irrita
ted by the passage dry, t.r dusty
air ; the air k rapidly drawn in and ex
pelled, gets beaten tip with the sticky
like "soup-suds," and this frothy stuff
becomes a further source of irritation
and tickling cough. As the
tory stage of the affection passes off, the
phlegm gets less tenacious and frothy,
becomes yellow in color, and smaller in
quantity; but not until the excessive
secretion ceases is it wise or sale to give
remedies to stop the cough.
A sense of pain or oppression under
the breast-bone is often complained of
in bronchitis; the patient .s so little '
conscious of the real seat of the affee
lion, that he often refuses to believe that
the malady extends farther than the
root of the neck. For as there are no
nerves of coinllloll sensation distributed
to the lungs or bronchial tubes, the
cough may be the only evidence of dis
ease.
Bronchitis is but one of many causes I
of cough ; and before prescribing for a
cough, it is, as we have said, necessary
to be sat sfieti as to its cause. Often-
times (,)ugh is the earliest symptom of
grave lung discus(, and may be of MI-
mense value in directing attention to a
malady at a time when it may be speedi •

Thy (Ribs of London in 111
The inembersof the Clubs in London
many years since, were persons, almost
without exception, belonging exclu
sively to the aristocratic world. '' My
trade , men," as King Allen used to call
the hankers and the merchants, had
not then iucndod Wilitt`'S,
Brookes's, or \Vattier,:s, in Holton
street, Plecadilly ; which, with the
rt and Graham's, were
the only elutes at the \Vest End of the
town. White's was M•eidedly the most
difficult of tmtry ; its list or members
slinprised nearly all the noble MOM,
Of Great Britain.
The politics of White's Club Nvere then
decidedly Tory. It was here that play
WaS carried on to an extent which made
many ravages in large fortunes, the tra
ces (1( which have not disappeared at
the present day. General Scott, the
father-in-law of George Canning and
the Duke of Portland, was known to
have WWI at White's .c2no,non ; thank,
to his notorious sobriety and his knowl
edge of the game of whist. The Gen
eral possessed a great advantage over
his companions by avoiding those in
dulgences at the table which used to
muddle other men's brains. He con
fined himself to dining oil something
like a boiled chicken, with toast and
water; by such a regimen lie came to
the whist-table with a clear head, and
pos-sessing as he did a remarkable mem
ory, with great coolness and judgment,
he was able honestly to win the enor
mous sum of x 200,00 I.
At Brooke's, for nearly half a century
the play was more of a gambling char
acter than at White's. Faro and macao
were indulged in to an extent which en
abled a man to will or lose a considera
ble fortune in one night. It. was here
that Charles James Fox, Selwyn, Lord
Carlisle, Lord Robert Spencer, General
Fitv.patrick and other great Whigs won
and lost hundreds of thousands; fre
quently remaining at the table for many
hours without rising,
On one occasion Lord Robert Spencer
contrived to lose the last shilling of his
considerable fortune, given him by his
brother, the I Mkeof Marlborough ; Gen.
Fitzpatrick being much in the same
condition, they agreed to raise a sum of
money in order that they might keep a
faro bank. The members of the club
made no objection, and ere long they
carried out their design. As is general
ly the case, the bank was a winner, and
Lord Robert bagged as his share of the
proceeds £lOO,OOO. He retired, strange
to say, from the ftetid atmosphere of
play, with the money in his pocket, and
never again gambled. George Harley
Drummond, of the famous banking—
house, Charing Cross, only played once
in his whole life at White's Club at
whist, on which occasion he lost £20,000

But, after all, it appeals to them as all

weighed by a dozen other qualities.
Beauty commends, lint it does not
win; it attracts, but it does not hold.
And if it be not answered by seine in
ward beauty, it soon disappoints, and
may, by consent suggestion of ilb.har
mony, at last repel, just as a fair flower
invites us ; we admire its form, its color,
its daintiness, but when we pluck it,

disgust. l\Ve feel we have been cheated
by a counterfeit, and the flower fares
worse than if it were less fair, but then,

reminds us: The bright are sometimes
poisonous, but we believe, never the
sweet."

vast deal more—than personal beauty in

something is, it is hard to say; but it is
expressed in the word interest—which,
to convey the exact idea, should be in

to show—as in her Crichtons, and A [..1-ards,
ards, and Mirondolas—the splendor of
her bounty being, rarely willing to give
two great gifts to the same creature.
When she grants physical beauty tile
minflaccompanyingit isapt to be interior
tieniuses are seldom beauties, he u nties
seldom geniuses. It appears, too, that
women of fine persons come to prize their
comeliness so much as neglect their mind
and not unfrequently their manners—
permitting a naturally good understand
ing to run to waste for lack of com
mon care and culture. Hence it is that
the very prettiest women of society
whom men optically admire, and of
whom you hear so much, rarely excite
any profound emotion or win the hearts
of strong or positive men. They carry
in their train many followers of fash
ion ; are looked at and funded as a cu
rious pattern of furniture would be in
the drawing room. But no one loves
them. No divine fire is burned oil their
altars. No elements of high poetry or
grand tragedy are enlisted in their lives.
They dwell in an atmosphere of flattery
and folly; are haunted by
and wedded to fools.
The women Will' make deep impres
sions—who carry with them an atinos•
phere of their own—who make social
listeners for themselves, and would
make revolutions, if the time were fit
ting, bear no badge of beauty as an em
blem of their power. Their f o rces and
fascinations are invisible to the eye.—
Their mind, manners, their sympathies,
their instincts, their spiritual insights
—something of all these fix, mould and
sway the nature of others, and null:e or
unmake fortunes and careers. Their
power for good or evil is unmeasured,
and circumstances determine which it
shall be. strong men bend, icy hearts
take fire, breasts of adamantine melt
before them, and yet no outward shape
of beauty assist at their spiritual conjur
ing. They work their miracles us mys
teriously to themselves, peradventures,
as to others.
Something to Cheer
"I will tell you something lo cheer
you, ' said a poor woman to one of the
mission school teachers. " One after-
noon I was obliged to go leaving my
two children at home alone. I was kept
out till long after dark. When I reach
ed my door, I heard the little ones talk
ing, and stopped to listen. ' I wish
mother would come home, I am so
afraid,' said Tommy. Little Mary spoke
up, ' Don't cry, Tommy. Don't you
know Jesus died for little children, and
he'll take care of you and me; don't be
afraid ; let's sing.' Oh, I bless the hour
when my children lirst went to the Sun
day School," said the mother with tears
of gratitude in her eyes.
Sensible People
A Quaker lately popped qie question
to a fair Quakeress of follows:
"Hum—yea and verily, Penelope, the
spirit urgeth and moveth me wonder
fully to beseech thee to ceave unto me,
flesh of my flesh, and bone of my bone."
"Hum—truly, Obediah, though haat
wisely said ; inasmuch as it is written
that it is not good for man to be alone,
lo I will sojourn with thee."
le collection of gems, cameos, and
intaglios made by Lorenzo, Cosino, caul
their successors is still in Florence, and
is probably the Ilue.t in existence.
As We proposed to write about prec
ious stones rather than graven gems, we
will now begin with the diamond,which
is usually placed at the head of the list,
although, strickly speaking, it is/tot the
first either in rarity of value. Although
not the mostly costly gem, yet the dia
mond possesses a certain dignity in his
tory, and has tharacteristicqualities that
entitled it t., the precedence over all
others. It is the hardest of all sub
stances. It is the greatest refractor of
solar light. It is more interesting than
any oilier gems in its organic structure
or mode of formation.
t NVe do not Ilint that the attempts to
produce the diamond by artificial means
have liven itt. all successful. Yet the
present is not the tittle to assert posi
tively that swill a result will never he
achieved. \Ve know very well that its
structure has been studied by I ioppert,
and pronounced to be of the vegetable
order; and, on the other hand, it is just
us positively asserted that erystale of
carbon have already peen produced.
A very appreciable proportion of the
wealth of the n•orld is ttt present repre
sented by diamonds. Every considera
ble stone has its name. history • and lo
cality perfectly well settled. \\Then till
addition to tile eatalugue is made TIC,,-
sary by the aciplisition of a new stone,
its advent is immediately anuuuneeil to
the world, and it liceonnis ut omit , it , ort

It was found in the island of Barnett.
The Dutch governor of Batavia is re
reported to have made an offer for this
diatnand of IW,, ships or war, with their
armaments cam plete, and 1.:511,1510 in
money. The " diamond, be
longing to the I 'car of Russia, is one at'
the most valuable It town. It was
one , the the eye of tut Indian blab and
afterward any the ornaments Of the cel
ebrated I,e:teach throne of Nadir Shalt.
It was stolen by t Frenchman, and by
him sold to Catherine I I. far 4.10,000
rubles, a pension of _moon tutu a patent
naldlity. She " Cumberland "
diamond was presented to the conqueror
of Culloden by the city of London. It
has since been claimed by Hanover, and
restored It, that country, whether by the
Cumberland family or the British gov
ernment we do not know. Its value is
Inlyttio. The "Nancy" diamond was
mate the property of Charles, Duke of
Burgundy, who ware it in his hat. He
lost it at the battle of Nancy, about the
middle af the fifteenth century. It wa.s
found by a Swiss satinet', and sold tone
Salley, in whose l'autily it remained
about one hundred years. Henry 111.
of France burrowed it, to he used as 11
pledge. The servant who was sent to
deliver it was robbed and murdered, but

by De Saucy, who had faith in his fidel

the property of James I I. of England,
passed from his hands into those of the
l<ling of France, and was last in the con
fusion of the Revolution. 11 was found,
and became the property of Prince Dem
wha lately sold it for a large stun.
The celebrate "Blue Diamond" was
lost with the. alley, and has never since
been heard of.
The "Florentine Brilliant" is a line
gem in the crown of the Emperor of
Austria. 'fire "Pitt" diamond, also call
ed the "Itegent,""was once the property
of the Duke of Orleans ; its weight was
410 carats. The "Piggot" is another his
torical di:M.1011(i. The 'Star of the
South" is a large diamond cut a few
years since by the Costars, but we are
not certain about the ownership. Its
weight in rough stone was '2.54 carats;
when finished it was les- than one-half
that weight.
Diamonds are not always colorlcs.:
Some are opalescent ; some black. They
have also been found of a red, pink and
green. Those of a pure water transpar
ency are the most valuable.
Diamondsare found in Golconda, Bra
zil, and occasionally in an unsuspected
locality. A discovery of diamonds in
Australia is lately reported. Several
have been picked up in t.he United
States. We have seen an account of
one weighing 10 carats found not long
ago in North Carolina.
The ruby contends with the diamond
for the palm of superiority. It is of
equal antiquity. value, and historical in
terest. Its value increases with Its weight
in a still greater ratio than that of the
diamond. Like that stone, every large
ruby has its history, and as is the case
with the diamond, so every addition of
an individual of the regulation size to
the list is made the occasion of an ova
tion. The finest rubies are found in
Ave. They are claimed as the property
of the King of Burmah, one of whose
titles is " Lord of the Rubies." As the
name implies, the color of this gem Is
red. They are found of many shades,

A little son of J. ( . .I:ondrup, the Danish
consul, residing with his father on
hill, in Washington, has met with an un
fortunate accident, which will prove a field
of study for the medical world. It appears
that on Friday last an elder brother, who
had been playing with a common mouth
organ, about two inches in length, threw it
upon the floor, which, being Sr ithin access
of the child, he picked it up, and by some
means it became lodged in his throat. At
tempts were made to extricate it, but had
the effect of forcing It down his throat and
causing him to swallow the instrument.—

land. A picture of it berme 114 represents
