When the English took possession of
the palace of King Theebaw at Man
dalay, Hurmah, they scaiohcd cant-ily
foi the fabulous treasures which It was
Mipposed this Oriental mouaich pos
vecsed. They were doomed to disap

value was found, the far-famed Jewels
consisting of a miscellaneous lot of
poor emeralds nnd i utiles. Many of
them were ot laige slue, but bo inferior
In quality that the Knglltdi regalia
could not be enriched by adding any
ot them. So little are they valued that
they aie now exhibited In glass caes
in the Indian 51ucum in London.
Many of these Oriental collections,
ntcordlng to Sir 1-Mvvlti Arnold and
other Oriental tiaveleis, nie kept In

CONCLUSION. The cnpllvlt of the
chuseii people and their depoi tntlon
Into foielgn eountiles was a seveie
method of Divine chastisement for sin,
and all effective mode of moral dis
cipline. The displeasuie of 'Sod had
been long dilned and was slowly
visited. The iioilhein kingdom was
flist overtluovvn (H C. 721), giving
time lor the leinnnnt to leain wisdom.
Hut Judah soon followed in wicked
ness, jet Clod was path nt. Nebuch
adnezzar came Hist in HOC, ae,alti in
o'J'i, and did not complete the con
quest until ."iSs. In all that time had
Jeiemlah's counsels been accepted tho
ii.itlnn.tl ial, unity might have been
uveiled. The long-suffeilng of Jehovah
only u suited In the piesuniptlon and
