Tt T.nndiiti p.nrrpanonflpnt nf tin XV j - x - r it- ? . t j 11 or, gtves a most graphic and interesting accouul ot the great plot to rob the Shah of his jewels, to which hricf reference lias been heretofore made in our columns. The story is too long to tell iu detail hut some idea of the bolduess of conception and consummate ck ill with which it whs carried almost to success, maj he gathered from the ful lowing epitome : ".As soon as it was definitely fettled that the Shah would visit England mea eures were instituted to PROTECT HIM FROM ROBBBSY. Col. Henderson chief Commissioner ol Police guaranteed lo insure the Eastern Monaich against beirg plundered Lv mobs, rushes of the crowd, by high waymen, or; in any public maimer this being the chief dungcr, it was supposed, owing to the narrow and crowded streets through which the Monarch would have to pass so frequently, both by night and by day. A detail of police was arraug ed for Buckingham Palace, aud the Home Secretary promised that these premises should have additional securities ordered for thera, aud that the jewel-safe of the Shah in particular should he made burglar-proof after the newest and moat ap proved patterns la addition to all this a detachment of London detectives was to join the Shah nt Moscow, and remain part of his suite tbenceforwatd uutil he finally left our shores. This detachment consisted of two Inspectors and fivo Ser geants. Ou reaching our shores they ere to be reinforced by another Inspec tor, three Sergeants aud ten men, the very elite of the force. It was thought that, these arrangements carried ont, it would be impossible to steal the Shah's treasure eo loug as he waa the guest of Iler Majesty. - . , "THE ROBBERS PLANNING. But the best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft aglee. Within twenty-four hours after the detectives left London for Moscow another party left the same city for the sams objective point, and with the express intention of concerting means for effectually plundering the mighty Sbah in Shah of all his priceless jewelry. This party consisted of three remarkable nfen, criminals of the first water, yet who were totally unknown lo the London police, and indeed, though often com promised, had never been -convicted of any felony. They were Col Algernon B'gnor Hawkins, the leader of the party and organitjerof the conspiracy ; Serafino (this other name is not known), a Jew diamond broker of Marseilles, but foim etly of Salo'nice," and 'Baron' Narses Migrad itch Dadian, formerly a "sreaff" or money-lender of Aleppo, but late of London and Paris, an Eutychian Arme nian, and said to be conuected with the eminent Ogion Dadian family which so long baa managed the finances of the Sublime Porte, HAWKINS LEADER OF TUB OANO Hawkins is an adventurer of rather a heroic stamp, and is said to be of good family. lie is a man of nearly fifty years of age, and of very commanding appearance and fascinating manners Originally he was a Lieutenant in a walk ing regiment"and went to India, where dissipation and a difficulty about cards compelled him to sell out. lie drifted about in the East, seeing life" and pick ing np adventures for some yearB. He was for a while in the service of the Em peror of China, he was in A nstralia, he was iu Sonth America and Mexico. He certainly serred twice under Garibaldi, was for a time in service in the American ', civil war but on which side I am not able to say, took part in the last Polish MIFFLINTOWN, revolution, and in the Franco Prussian' war, iu which he was Lieutenant Culonel on Minot'.o's staff. His latest ostensible occupation baa been that of a stock-job ber in thu c ty, where some of his opera tions iu Sonth American securities have been notably successful ; but it is gener ally thought his chief business latterly has been in connection with the shipment of arms aud supplies to the Carlists, whose cause he ia known to "bull." lie is not a member of any of the commit tees hero, but is generally thought tu be deep in their councils, aud privy to most of their clandestine traffic with the Bis cay an provinces. Hawkins ia a man of great daring, remarkable address, and consummate effroutery. He is never without money for any of his occasions, speaka tiiue or ten languages, aud poss eases a large fund of practical informa tion. Of his POWERS OF FASCINATION. and command of impudeuce I can give yon the best idea w'ueu I tell you that not very long tgo a fond aud wealthy toy merchant of Birmiug-hnm paid him tf 10,000 to discoutiaus his attentions to the merchant's wile, a blooming hut fool ish young woman, who waa ready to el-jpc with him whenever he said the word, lie sent a receipt to the merchant and a duplicate to the poor woman,' 'with a uote saving that he was a inau whose word was his bond, and he would never aec her again, having sold his promise to that efiVct. Hawkins Lad a schedule of the Shah's jewels gathered from observation during travels in Persia. A memorandum kiiowu to ho iu his hand cstimttfs that, wkhout running any risks by offering for sale the more conspicuous pearL, diamonds, e:n eraMs, aud rubt', jewels to the valuo xii 2,000,000 could be mido at once avail- able for the Amsterdam maik.?t. THE OTHER THREE. I The second man waa a Jew Serafino t chosen chiefly because of his knowl edge of jewels and Lis quiek way of dis posing of them. The third man was Toby Spring, a first clias burglar and s,fe blower. The last of the. conspira tors N'arsrs M:giaditch Dadian was taken into the plot because it waa essen tial to have a man perfectly acqttaiued i with the I'ersi-tn lang'iuga and with j Persian cu-toms. Xarsea, in his way. i was quite as remarkable a character as Hawkins, and a man of experience as varied. A member of the great Dadian family, hi had bteu a wealthy seraff of Aleppo, had represented the family in Ispahan and Teheran for a number of years, and bad trailed nil over the world, rrom Boston to Hong Kong. He knew Persia perfectly, knew the Persian' char acter, and, more than all knew the WEAK POINTS IN NASR ID-UEKN'S character, lie waa a most accomplished most subtle, and most unprincipled Ori ental, and, but for a single circumstance, might have been one of tha wealthiest and most influntial men in the East. He waa a slave and a victim to the habit of smoking opium, aud this had ruined him, broken up his bitMuess, banished him from home, aud plunged him into the misery and foiiornnesa of a London gar rett, where he eked out a wretched sub sistence by translating for scholars and merchants, and by other odd jibs among those who were willing to overlook his propensities for the sake of employing his rare and unuaual taleuts. He was picked out of au opium cellar aud" prov ed eager to engage in, the adveutnre. The matter was talked over and the plan arranged to have the robbery committed in London, but to join the Shah's retinue immediately, to gain all possible fore knowledge to aid them. The three conspirators, Hawkins, Seranuo aud Narses, are next seen at St. Petersburg, where Narses renews au ac qnaiutauce witli one Ferjumendi, - a ser vant of one of jhe Shall 's suite, and from this securcS a position as interpreter. Narses thus established, busied himself in finding out all the secrets of the Shah's establishment. Hawkins and Serafino only staid long enough to get photographs of the Shah, and then Serafino went to Paris to get imitations of the gems made from patterns enlarged by the microscope while Hawkins hastened to London, ren ted a handsomely furnished house in the neighborhood of Portman Square, hired a retinue of fluukeys, and gave himself out for AN AMERICAN NABOB who had come to spend a few weeks in the great city, aud especially to give some recreation to his daughter, just finishing her education at a fashionable place on the Loire. In due time the brougham went to Easton Square Station and brought home mademoiselle and ber piles of luggage. Mademoiselle was a very lovely blonde, with tbe manners of ingenue, and dotingjy fond of her darl-. ing papa. An amiable gonvernate was secured for her, and the domestic affairs of tbe household went on swimmingly. Hawkins went around his business as usual and everything was prosperous. . The night succeeding the Shah's arri val at Buckingham Palace Narses Dadian met his associates for the first time since; they had parted at Petersburg. He was TBI COasTITDTlOa TBI OJIOS AID TBI ISIOEOiailT OS JUNIATA COUNTY, PENN'A., no longer, in the service of the Mirza' Dschamy. hut had become guide and in terpreter to the ihigh and mighty Gen. Ilanji Dscbellalleddia, whilom Governor of Murghab, and now one of -tka Shah-in-Shah's favorite aides-de-camp. In this position ho had frequent opportuni ties of seeing the persons IN AND AROUND THE MONARCH. and of hearing pretty much all that had transpired about the court. lie had al ready inspected Buckingham Palace, and having the general entre knew a great deal about it. It would be difficult to commit a burglary at the Palace, but not impossible, if no other means for getting at the jewels could be found out. The Shah iu general was very inaccessible ; his attendants were very numerous and very jealous ; besides them was a largo force of London detectives, and in addi tion to these a corps of private police employed by M. de Reuler. Hawkins now said that ho only con templated burglary of the palace as a dernier resort. He had calculated rather to practice upon the Shah 'a superstitious or his fears, so as to inveigle him off and in effect kidnap him. To get off safely with the jewels one would need at least twelve hour's start. Narses said that, had he knowu what he now kucw, this scheme would have,becn perfectly prac ticable at St. Petersburg. The Shah, however, felt safe iu England and Lis fears could not be worked upon. There waa only one way then to reach him. He wa a mm of luxurious life aud pro clivities, he hud 6ent his harem home, he was peculiarly suscrptiblo lo tho influen ces of beauty, of Western beauty in particular, aud it was notorious among Lid oGictri that he expected to achieve a good many bocue3 fortunes among ti:k lovely ladies of London. Here, then, if the right sort of plan could bo oweoeted, the Shah would beat their tiurcy. In a scheme of this sort Narses sr.ii he himself wonld easily bo master of Urn situation, fines there was the greatest amount of jealousy among the high officers who eurrouuded tho Shah, aud he knew that his own inime liate em ployer, Gea. Hadji Dscheilalleddin would give his right arm almost for the chance of providing his master with a new con cubine whom he could influence, and wilb whom the Shah-iu-Shah might be conto infatuated. ' ----- After a long conference it was decided to try this plan. Narses was introduced to Mademmoistlle, and declared her to be the very person needed. Photographs in the highest style of the art were taken, aud the next evening, at 7, Ilia Highness Hadji Pschellalleddin took diuner with Col. Algernon Bignor Uawkius, at Lis house iu Pot tmau Square. The cham pagne circulated freely, and Ilia Highness full of admiration for the RARE BKAt'TY OF .M ADEMOISELLB became effusively gallant. But madem oiselle was demure, and played her role of ingenue to perfection. When the Burgundy cmie on ehe escnped from the dining-room, and then Hawkins began to play his cards. He told the General that mademoiselle was not for him, tut, under certain circumstances, she might do for his master. Ho, Hawkins, wanted to rue in the world, and he did not object to his daughter becoming the morganatic wife of a gre.it Mohammedan potentate. Why might not Uawkius become a Per sian Geuerul, and Hadji Dscbeilalleddiu Grand Vizier ? The bait took. A day passed and then Hawkins re ceived an intimation through Gen. Dsch elaleddin and his emissary Narses, that if, on the Shah's return from Windsor, the young lady .would occupy a certain wiudow .in the neighborhood of the Windsor Station, she would be sure to come within ' the glance of the Shah'sJ eye, and she would afterwards learn whether or not he was favorably impress ed. The appointment waa kept, and all turned out as was promised. The lovely ingenue's soft eyes fell before the search ing, saucy glauceof the King of Kings, but this did not happen before she bad tossed into the imperial coach a single flower, a tea-rose just opening, around the stem of which was written one word in the most elegaut cursive Persian text. That word waa ,-I love." That night General Hadji Dschelialleddin, High and Mighty Go between, brought to the bouse in Portman square an, ornate gold casket containing a costly imitation of a rose iu enamel and diamonds, with leaves of small emeralds elaborately Wrought Underneath this costly flower was a brief line in Persian text, npon pink satin. BXtfLTATION "THE GAME IS WON." Called to interpret. Narses, with ex nultation exclaimed : 'TTie game is won ! It is an appointment for to morrow night at 13 o'clock." This the Persian eon firmed : said his master was profoundly impressed with Mademoisells's beanty, and would come in disguise, attended only by himself. Thereoy be departod, after making a profouud salaam to Made moiselle, who looked '. almost frightened at the idea of an interview with "the mighty 'Asiatic potentate.' Hawkins, greatly excited, went in search of Serafi no, to arrange the final programme for the great robbery. ' " TBI LAWS. AUGUST 6, 1573. So near the prize ! Narses was npset ; be pleaded an engagement, broke fr om his 'pals' and sought a low opium haunt. He came out drunk, and staggered to the rendezvous on Bond street The police man watched him attracted by his Per sian uniform. Narses found Hawkins' office and rapped madly at the door. Fiually it was opened. Toby Spring appeared, and thinking him drunk on the eve of a great attempt, seized him rough ly by the throat, dragged Lim into the office and locked the door. This was not done so quickly but that the Inspec tor recognized Spring's face. The place waa surrounded, broken into and Toby Spring arrested. Hawkins and Serafino came op at that uistxut The Jew was grabbed ; Hawkins escap ed ; Narses started on a run, and half delirious, with the police at his heels, made straight for the river, took the par apet of the embankment at a bound, and plungcd into the dark depths with a wild cry. V hen bis body waa recovered was quite dead. THE 'OAMB NOT WON. Hawkins' office waa reached aud burglar's tools found. Then cama a he. 1 the re- port of Narses' drowning. Serafino was scared into confession Hawkins became an object of interest, but he aud made- moiselle, with the fchah s diamond rose, had disappeared. The Shah's rage, when Lo found Le had been deceived and waa so near being robCed " of his treasures, was fearful to witness. The heaviest burden of it fell upon poor Gen. Ilailji Dschelialleddin, who has been permanently disgraced and was scut homo to Persia by the next steamer of the Peninsular and Oriental line. Anter wThat It Is and "Wh:r9 Comes Fran. It Naturalists suppose this fossil to be tho product of a species of fir or pine tree, which baa long since become ex tinct. Its appearauce ia not unlike that of tbe ordinary resins, aud the cones and leaves aa well as infects are sometimes discovered enveloped by it. The elec tric properties of amber were recognized by the ancienta at a'i eaily day, aud by the ancients the substance was styled ehklrott, from which originated tho term electricity. It ia of a bright gold color, very fragile in its nature, and produces no decided sensation on the organs of taste. It? (-p-cinc gravity is somewhat greater than that of water. - Its constit uent elements have never been accurately determined, though analyzers agree that resin aud an acid peculiar to itself, with a volatile oil, enter into its composition, as also somo compounds of hydrogen and carboir. If treated with alkalies in which no foreign substance ia present, it can be readily decomposed. Amber is very extensively used by manufacturers of tobacco pipes for mouth pieces, and, in consequence of ita scarcity and great vulue, has been the subject of numerous counterfeits. Honey stone and copal resin, which presents a very close resemblance tt it, are employed more fre quently than any other substances iu im itation of the genuine article But the deception can be detected without diffi culty by subjecting them to au ordeal of Gre. The experiment will demonstrate that the honey stone cannot be liquified, while the copal resins runs off in a stream of globules, the amber burns away with a sparkling and flickering flame. Amber ia generally obtained m smalt pieces averaging in weight from four to eight onnces ; pieces weighing one pound are very rarely procured.

But it is -only the smaller aud lighter fragments that are thus obtained. The large and Leavy pieces, as the storm abates, sink again, and occupy crevices in the large rocks which cover the bottom of the sea at this point. These are se cured when the water becomes smooth and clear, by disengaging them from the boulders by means of hooks, and dex trausly introducing a net beneath them. "Kiss Mother for me."

You re member you said once when yon were a girl you were engaged to be married to a minister, and promised ns you would tell us abont it sometime. Now, aunt please tell us.'' "Well, you see I was tLen about sev enteen years old, I was living in Utica, in the State of New Yoik. Though I may say it myself, I waa quite a good looking gii then, and had several beaux. The one that took my fancy was a young minister, a very promising young man, aud remarkably pious and steady. He thought a good deal of mc, end I took a fancy to him, and things weut cn till we were engaged. One evening Le came to mc, and pat his arms around me, and kind of huggid mc, when 1 be- ; came excited and flu.-trated It waa a Jong time ago, and I don't know but that I hugged back a little I waa like ! any otiier girl, ana pielty soon 1 pre- tended to bo mad about it. and ptuhed j Lim away, though I wasn't mad a bit. You must know tLe house in which 1 lived waa on one of the back street of the' town. There were glass doors in, the parlor, which open over the street. These doors were drawn to. I step ped back a little from him, and when he came np close I pushed him back again. I poshed him harder than I intended to, and don't you think, girl?, the poor fellow loft his balance, and fell through one of the doora into the street " Oh, Auuty! waa he killed?'' "No, he fell head first, and as he was going I caught him by the leg of his trowsers, I held on for a moment and tried to pull him back, but his suspen ders gave way and the poor young man fell clear out of his pantaloons into a parcel of ladies and gentlemen along the street." "Oh ! Aunty I Aunty ! Lordy !"' "There, that's right ; squall and gig gle as much as you want to Girls that can't bear a little thing like that without tearing around the room and he-he ing in such a way don't know enough to come iu when it raiua. A nice time the man that marries one of you will have, won't he? Catch me telling you anything again." "But, Aunt Sallie, what becamo of him? Did you ever see him agaia." "No; the moment hi touched the ground he got np and left that place in a terrible hurry. I tell you it was a sight to be remembered. How the man did run ! He went out West and I believe he ia preaching out in Illinois. But be never married. He was modest, aud I suppose he waa so badly frightened that time that he never dared trust himself near a woman agaiu. That, girls, ia thu reason why I never married I felt very bad about it for a long time, for he was a real good man, and I often thought to myself that we should have been very happy if the suspenders htJn't gave way." A LITTLE history is related, and said to have been told by King Victor Eman uel himself The Princess Maria, daugh ter of the Empress of Russia, waa ia the dress circle at the Apollo" Theatre. Hia Ije?ty Lad not been forewarned, and was in his box, according to hia usual custom, iu the most common neglige. Aa soon aa he saw her Imperial Highness, he begged the prefect, Commandant Gad da, to lend his black drees coat and white cravat for a few asinutes. Of course the request was complied with, and his Majesty having pnt them on in one of the saloons, went and paid his respects to the Princess. This story is not quite so good as the one told by the Emperor Napoleon. He met Vivicr, the horn player, at Tichy, and asked him to dinner. Vivier excused himself he was traveling, and had no dress clothes. "We are nearly of the same size," said tbe Emperor. "Ask my valet, Leon, to lend you some of my evening clothes." After dinner the Emperor complimented Vivier on the excellent fit, adding : " Mind yon restore my property." Vivier replied that his hones: intentions stopped with the restitution of the clothes, and could uo further go. He could not bring him self to restore the little red ribbon in the button hole. ''Keep it," said the Em peror, and Vivier was gazetted a knight of tbe Legion of Honor next morning. Daniel 'Wbrster Is not the only bright boy born in New Hampshire.

There are no flaunting courtezans in Vienna, a are to be seen in the streets of Paris, of even in New York or Baltimore. Whero virtue is sutch a rarity there is no op portunity for making a specially of vice, aud it has no rpecij.l locality. In this? respect Vienna would appear to the cas ual visitor more free from this species of social evil than ary laige City; in thcr world; but a visit to the Foundling Hos pital, where there is au average of about fourty infanta receivrd daily, or the gen eral bospital, where ita ill'gititr.ate birth average thirty a day, shews the pre inf ineuce of Vienna over all other cities iu the world. There are 1.0.CC0 soldiers' alwars in the city, mostly jourg men from the provinces, who ctild not mar-' ry if they would, aud would not if they could. They have rio means to support a wife, and Ft Mom have mny sufficient to pay the church charges fir the per formance of the marriage Jcereraony. They can be seen in crowds with tho y eufig gills eu the Itingstrasse, and the Prater. They form attachments, but are never expected to mtrry. Their exam ple is followed by the young men in? ether walks of life, and I am assured there are fewer marriages in Vienna thaw almost any other city of one third the population. There seems to be no at tempt made by the authorities or by the Church to remedy this evil, which has become so universal that among the laboring clauses especially thero are few mothers who have husbands. I have made special efT.rt to obtain authentic information aa to the causes which are leading to this extensive de morilizttioiv. That there are many good and virtuous people here there is no manner of doubt; but that the next generation will greatly deteriorate is equally certain. Ten yeara ago it was regarded as somewhat degrading ttv the female to live without marriage. Now no1 woman is considered as having lowered herself much in the esteem of her neigh bors unless she Lecnmts a brszen courte san. Of this class it is but proper to say that Vienna, with its million popu lation, Las fewer than the smallest of tbe principal cities of the United States-.
