Is there no one at home who is desirous of making a really handsome present to "the reigning family" at the White House a present really worth talking about? If bo, let that person send over to me a check for the comparatively trifling sun of S500, 000, and he shall receive by the next steamer the whole of "the jewels of an illustrious lady now in exile," which were purchased the other day by Messrs. Emanuel, of Bond street for 80,000. Of course 80,000 is only S400.000 ; but the odd S100.000 is none too much to be divided between the Messrs. Emanuel and myself. You will guess without any difficulty that the "illustrious lady" is none other than the Empress Eugenie. Here is a list of some of the jewels, many of them, it is understood, having been the gifts of crowned heads to the unfor tunate lady who has now parted with them : Bracelet Large fine ruby and dia monds. Watch and chatelaine, the back jewled in diamonds and colored precious stones a marvelous piece of settiog. Pair of tops. large sirjgle stone diamond ear Bracelet The centre a very large sap phire of splendid quality and color, 6et round with large brilliants on an elastic band of large diamonds. Diamond brooch, representing the flower of an orchid, with long pendant leaves and drops. A pair of large diamond anchors. A sapphire and diamond necklace, of rare large sapphires, with large brilliants intervening. An aigrette of diamonds, emeralds, and pearls, arranged in Oriental fashion. Head ornament Diamond rose leaves with full size rose and buds in centre. Purchased in the London Exhibition of 18G2. Head .ornament diamond wheat-ears with corn flowers and grass. Head ornament- diamond olive wreaths, with black beads interspersed. Emerald cross with pearl oecklace. The emeralds are of the rarest tint and of per fect quality, and pearls all matching each other in size, form and whiteness. Black pearl necklace. A very rare col lection of large black pearls, with black anJ diamond snap. Three pearl and diamond fringe pen dants composed of large stones. The Standard says : The collection is remarkable in many ways. That of the Prince Easterhazy was more valuable, but for taste and work manship combined, with historical in terest, it is not too much to say that noth ing like it ha3 been offered for sale in England within living memory, if at all. A mere catalogue of the articles shows this. After the war between France and Austria in 1859, and when peace was concluded, the Empress had a head orna ment of diamonds worked into the form of an olive wreath, with black beads introduced in it at regular intervals. The olive branch told its own story of peace, and the sombre beads with which the glittering brilliants were relieved were meant to express sorrow for the soldiers who had fallen. The workmanship is ex quisite and the stones are of the first water. This magnificent ornament is valued at several thousands of pounds. It would be superfluous to pass culogiuni upon the beauty or quality of the jewels. It is sufficient to know that many of them were designed and worn by the Empress Eugenia in the day of her greatness, and that they nearly al! speak of that personal taste for which she was famous. I be famous cross, suspended from a pearl necklace, and represented in Winter halter's portait. is composed of emeralds of the finest color and purity, while the pearls all match each other in size, shape and tint. Another necklace of black pearls of large size, took years to collect, for the pearls match each other perfectly, and those versed in the subject know how great is the difficulty of procuring a suf ficient number these for a large ornament to be composed of them exclusively. There are pendants of large diamonds and pearls in fringes of ten, which were worn by the Empress in combination with the crown jewels of Fiance. Another splendid head ornament is composed of wheat cars in diamonds, with a centre of corn flowers and grass also in diamond, which were capable of being detached, and were ofteuer worn separately as dress orna ments than in their collected form. The watch with chatelaine carried by the Empress are also for sale, and form a remarkable piece of workmanship. The back of the watch, which is the size of a small or "godless" fiorio, is jeweled with diamonds and colored precious stones, which the chatelaine matches, and the getting is peculiarly delicate and tasteful. The ear tops, composed of immense single brilliants, were a present from the Emperor, as was a bracelet with a large sapphire in the centro and surrounded by diamonds. The last article is a really splendid bauble, and contrasts favorably with another bracelet composed of many colored stones, which is said to have been piesented to the Viceroy of Egypt. The massive simplicity of the one, and the rather barbaric magnificence of the other, convey a valuable lesson in the art of selecting jewels, just as the aigrette of diamonds, emeralds, and pearls, presented by the Sultan makes the exquisite head ornament of English make, bought at the Exhibition of 1862, seem the perfection of taste. The wonderfully light brooch of brilliants, made to represent an orchid with long pedant leaves and drops, is another ornament to which pure taste gives additional value. The same may be said of the necklace of large sapphires and diamonds with pearls attached to it, each pearl weighing some huudred grains, and of the large diamond anchors worn as shoulder ornaments by the Empress as patroness of the Frnch fleet, and procur ed specially for the Imperial visit to Cherbourg, and indeed nearly all the or naments offered for sale. There is not one which does not suggest state pageantry and imperial profuseness. It must not be supposed that this represents the whole of the Empress's stock of jewels. Many of these are too costly and imposing for any position in life but that which was recently occupied by their fair owner. The Empress of Russia is under stood to have purchased the celebrated suit of rubies, and it is known that there are many articles of enormous value still at Cbiselhurst, which will be disposed of when a purchaser can be found. Most of the jewels now. at Mr. Emanuel's might be worn with propriety by any lady whose purse is long enough for their pur chase, while some, such as the watch and the emerald, ruby, and diamond hoop rings, speak of daily use by the Empress. A Noble Young Man Marries the Girl he Loved-The Result. On a certain day in 1853, a young man whose noticeable points ware a fashiona ble coat, pantaloons with wide checks, and a large watch chain at the end of which dangled a seal, walked into a large hardware store in Boston, and asked for employment. Mr. Peter Butler, one of the proprietors, inquired if he had ever worked at the business. He had not. What had he been doing? studying law at Campridge. Where did he belong? His friends lived in Maryland. The firm were not in need of help, and the services of the applicant were civilly declined. On the following day he addressed a note to Mr. Butler, saying that he feared he had not made himself fully under stood, and would call again on the morrow to explain further. At the second inter view he said he had graduated at Harvard University, and commenced reading law; that he had become acquainted with a young lady in Cambridge whom he pro posed to marry ; that his father had writ ten to him, forbidding him to wed a Northern girl under penalty of utter disinheritance and banishment from home. He intended, however, to keep faith with his betrothed, and as he must paddle his own canoe in future, be was looking for employment. Mr. Butler engaged him at S4U0 a year, and gave him certain duties to perform. Next morning the young man, whose name we may as well say was John Paca, walked in from Cam bridge with his dinner packed in a tin pail, and went stoutly to work. He kept steadily at this for a year, doing all he was told to do, and more besides ; for his comrades ; of whom there were more than sixty, finding him able and willing, set him at all the menial tasks of the estab lishment, until the proprictars discovered and stopped the imposition. At the end of the year John's salary was increased $100, and he named an early day for hi wedding. Wheu the day came Mr. Butler gave him a new suit of clothes (he presents everybody he takes a liking to a tip top suit ouce in a while) and a holiday. Mr. and Mrs. John Paca went to live with the brides father and mother, and John continued to walk to his business, tin pail in hand. Among all the merchants and tradesmen who rode in from old Cambridge to the banks and counting rooms of Boston, there was not one whose heart was lighter and hap pier than that of John Paca, a clerk of 5o00 a year. He .was always on hand when the warehouse was opened, and stuck by it until it was closed. Daring the second year of his service he received a letter from .his. sisters, who were at school in Brooklyn, askiog him to get leave to make them a short visit. He did co and returned to his duties. Not long afterwards anothcrlettcr came, tl is father wanted him to come home for a few days, and bring his wife along with him. Mr. Butler furnished the necessary funds for a comfortable trip to the old home and back again. During their stay in Maryland the young people won the love of the old folks, if indeed they had ever forfeited it, for John had not long been back at the store in Boston, when his father desired him to take charge of one of his Dlantations. lie should have a liviog off it, one thousand dollars a year besides, and two saddle horses, and his wife should have a carriage and a pair. His emDlovers hurried him away aud bade him God speed. At the death of his father, John leu neir to an immense estate. Every year he writtes to Peter Butler, whom he justly thinks one ot the best men in Boston, to come and join him in a fox hunt. Concord Monitor. Boards, planks, and scantling to the value of $6,555,102 were imported into the United States during last year, to say nothing of several hundred thousand dol lars' worth of rough timber, and over 200,000 worth of fire wood. BUNCH GRASS. Something about Stock Raising in Mon- tanna. The census of the grass family in the United States shows already over two hundred members, but when Professor Gray "took the census" ho seems to have neglected the regions of the far North west in his researches. A valuable mem ber of the family is usually left out of the catalogue, and that is the bunch grass of Dakota, Montanna and Eastern Washing ton. When riding northward from the great alkaline sage bush plains of Idaho and Wyoming, it is the first weed to extend a friendly welcome to your jaded animals. Your horse knows it well enough, for of ten as you ride alone he will snatch from its tufts many sweet morsels. And at night when you come to camp, after slak ing their thirst in the sparkling creek, you will see them dash over the pretty green meadow grass, and make for the brown hill sides, which are thickly cover ed with the buch grass. It is not only a favorite with horses, but is eagerly sought for by the oxen and sheep. There is nothing apparently in the appearance of of bunch grass to warraut the favor with which it is regarded by gramniverous animals, but it is to be supposed the ani mals, know what items to chose in their own bills-of-fare, even if it be the pastry first. They all seem to flourish and fat ten on it, and require no other food, no matter how hard they are worked. Bunch grass grows nearly everywhere in Montanna, no matter how high the situation, or how stoney or barren the ground may be. It blooms early in the season, growing in thick tufts, scattered a few inches apart over the ground, to the bight of a foot or eighteen inches. The culms are fine and slender, and compress in the hand like druggists packing hay. By the end of June it is full grown : then it withers, and that is the last of its growth for that year. It looks as dead as a stick, sure enough, but the wonderful peculiar ity about it is that it "cures on the stalk, and remains until the following season sweeter than the best dried hay. Doubt less the dry atmosphere has much to do with this labor-saving way of making hay. The rains in Montana and Dakota are never sufficiently protracted to cause a mildew. In most of the valleys it is rare that snow falls deep enough to entirely cover the bunch grass, because the mois ture is not there to majce it. Occasionally, however, in some situa tions there is trouble on this account, but if the snow i3 not hard frozen, no matter how deep, the horses will paw it off the gra?s. Cattle will not dig in this way, however, and instances of their suffering greatly, and even starving to death, have occurred. But that is very rare, and during twelve years since the first settle ment of Montanna, there has beeu no gen eral trouble on this account. Strange as it may appear there are valleys in the northern part not even as much as troubled with snow as those to the south, of equal elevation. The region of the Flathead Lake is the favorite feeding ground for stock, and, in fact, all of the Flathead reservation is good. The Flatheada, however, are too lazy to pay much attention to stock rais ing other than to horses, caring more for buffalo, for which they annually migrate to the eastern side of the Rocky Moun tains to hunt. It seems strange to refer to a country as not only a grazing but a timber coun try, but such is really the caso of Mon tauna. The timhergrows in parksofgreat er or less extent, confined on the east side of the mountains, generally to the hill sides and ravines, but coursing down on the western side at places entirely across the valleys. So that there are timbered prairies, so to speak, and prairie hills in view, or vice versa, all the time. But there is cattle feed everywhere, and rang es of the finest kiud, for millions of ani mals. There are already onehundrcd andthir ty (h usand head of cattle in Montanna driven in many instances from Texas awaiting the completion of the North cm Pacific railroad to be sent to market. It is difficult to make an estimate of what it costs to raise cattle in Montanna. One man might easily tend five hundred head. I was told by a man who owns a thousand, that a dollar a year a head was what it cost him. Some ranchemen use mowing machines and lay iu a supply of inferior provender from the meadows for contingencies, making the cost somewhat greater, but certainly trifling enough. The working oxen usually run loose all winter, and arc fatter in the spring than at any other time. Certainly no such grazing lands exist in North America as can be found in the main valleys of the Upper Yellowstone and Missouri and their tributaries, and the various forks of the Columbia, through the Rocky Mountains T. P. R. Neuralgia. A correspondent of the Lincet says: "A few years ago, when in China, I be came acquainted with the fact of the na tives when suffering with the facial-neuralgia using oil of peppermint, which they lightly apply to the scat of pain with a camel hair pencil. Since then, in my own practice, I frequently employ this oil as a local aorc-uhetie, not only in neuralgia, but also in gout, with remark ably good results." THE CURE OF INEBRIATES. We have received the proceedings of the second meeting of the "American As sociation for the Cure of Inebriates," which was recently held in New York city. Among the elaborate essays con tained in this report is a suggestive pa per by Dr. Joseph Parrisii, of Media, which will repay perusal. Dr. PAituisu makes a new classification of inebriates, which is the result of his experience at the Pennsylvania Sanitarium, over which he presides. First. "Confirmed inebriates or profes sional debauchees, whose purposes in life seem to be limited to the gratification of appetites or passions. The majority of this clcss are incurables, and it is recom mended as wise and economical to provide for the cure and detention of such iu special hospitals. "A confirmed inebriate is one whose body i. poisoned and whoso moral develop ment is retarded. He is incapable of do ing, what in his best moments, his will prompts him to do, and hence may be dangerous to his family or his neighbor as well as himself." Dr. Parrisii has had under his care eighty-four of this class, twenty four of whom have so improved as to be able to attend partially to business. Seven have been cured and two became insane. Second. Emotional class, who are de scribed as persons "without a decided in tention to do wrong, and without any abiding purpose to do right, and who are the victims of their own moral weakness, or of the cupidity or recklessness of others." Of this class seventy-two have been at the Sanitarium, forty-two of whom are so improved as to attend most of their time to their affairs, and fwenty-oue have been cured of their infirmity. Third. Accidental inebriates are "Men of good principles and character, who know and acknowledge their infirmity and endeavor to overcome it. Students, authors, salesmen and overworked busi ness men furnish a considerable percen tage of this class." They are unconscious ly enticed into inebriety and know not how to escape. Dr. Parrisii has had under his care sixty-six of this class, six teen of whom are attending to their du ties with occasional interruption, and forty-seven are cured. Twelve cases of opium intoxication are reported, of which seven were cured. These are most gratifying results, and deserve the earuest attention of the public. Wc have not hitherto re cognized any well defined classification of intemperate persons, but have been too much in the habit of grouping them all in the categorv of disturbers of the peace and offenders against society. This paper indicates a scientific classifiction which it is as well for statesmen to heed with reference to legislation on the sub ject as for scientists in their efforts to find a remedy. Under the head of institutions for inebriates, Dr. Parrisii refers to the un just prejudice against them in some minds, growing out of the fact that ine briety is a public vice, subject to legal punishment, and also that many leave the care of such institution too sooo, and re lapse into their former habits, and adds, "If all the patients iu hospitals for iusane who are incurable, were discharged after a few months' trial, and returned to their families in a state of excitement, or to wander aimlessly about in a cloud of de mentia, there would be a public expres sion of dissatisfactson that would react very injuriously upon the beuevolent in tentions and careful management of such institutions; the public would pronounce inebriate asylums, already a great suc cess, if the cured cases only were dis charged," is claimed that the statistics of asylums for inebriates present as favor able a view of such institutions as the statistics of institutions for the insane, or those of reformatory establishments. Wc commend these views to our read ers, and wish that they could be present ed to the public in some other form than that of a report of such limited circula tion as the one before us. We add the following, taken from tho minutes of the association : Whereas, Intemperaueo is a fearful drain upon the productive iotercsts of the commuuity, which is increasing iu mag nitude eveiy year ; and Whereas, Tbe measures hitherto adopt ed to suppress or even curtail this evil have been unavailing; therefore be it Jicsolocd, That in the opinion of this association it is the duty of the Legisla tures ns a measure of State ecouomy to provide means for the erection and en couragement of hospitals for the deten tion and treatment of confirmed inebriates. Fish have great tenacity of life. It is believed that the carp has attained the age of 150 years, and pike a still greater age. A pike was caught in a lake in South Germany, in 1-197, on which was found a ring bearing this inscription : "I am the fish which was first of all put into this lake, by the hands of the Governor of the Uuiversc, Frederick II, 5th of October, 1430." It weighed 25U pounds and was 10 feet long. Pennsylvania has more post offices than any other State in the Union. The num ber of pojt offices in Pennsylvania is 2,- 893, aud in New York, 2,690. The whole army of post masters in the United States amounts to 30,015. A Siberian Hotel. A traveler journeying through Siberia gives an interesting description of a hotel in Barnaool, which is situated at the foot of the Altai Mountains in Western Siberia. He described the rooms as large enough for half a dozen persons. The walls were bare, and the only articles of furniture were a table and two or three chairs, and a large stove that stood between the rooms in such a way as to project into both. They give no beds, as travelers are ex pected to furish their own. Most of the hotels in Siberia have bedsteads with wooden slats or they have sofas where one can make up a very comfortable couch by using his furs and blankets. But the hotel at Barnaool had no bed steads, and he was obliged to sleep on tbe floor, where he might be run over and eaten by the rats. The rats troubled hi some in the night, and one of them tried to make himself comfortable by nestling in his hair, which was a little curly, and long enough to make a cozy nest. The hotel was not very comfortable, so far as its table was concerned. The kitchen, was out in the yard by itself, and when they wanted anythiog they pulled a rope that rang a bell large enough for a small church ; then a Russian wcaan, wearing a sheepskin cloak, would coma to the door, and hold it open long enough to chill everything iu the rooms. It was no use to ask for anything except tea and cakes, and a few plain things such as cutlets, potatoes and bread. They were generally a long time coming, and some times when the meats arrived, they had been cooked so long that they were near ly frozen. There is no public table in a Siberan hotel. Meals are served in the rooms of those who order them, and there is no regularity about the hours. There is no fixed time for breakfast, and the usual way breakfasting is to take a few cups of tea, and some Tittle cakes. Dinner may be had at any time between two o'clock in the afternoon and midoinght. He has frequently known persons to take their dinners after what would be considered bedtime in an American, community ;bur as they sat up very late, their digestioa was not injured. But the stove was the greatest novelty, being made of brick instead of iron. It is four or five feet square, and about five feet high. The ordinary way of using a Russian stove is to fill it with wood in the morning and let it burn down to- a bd of coals. Thero is a sliding door about two inrJhes square on each side of the stove, and when the coals are formed these doors are opened and the heat comes into the room. The sides of the stove throw off a great deal of heat, so that the rooms of Russian houses are kept very warm, and remain so all the time. But their ventilation is bad, and consequently many of the inmates are pale and frequently complain of headaches. The top of the stove makes a very good bed, though it is not always long enough to allow one to lie at fall length ; and the traveler says that very often when he reached the stations on the Siberian roar? he would find the drivers asleep on the top of the stove, where they were enjoy ing a temperature of eighty or ninety; degrees. It is quite necessary to be very careful about opening the door before the wooa burns down into coals. Sometiu e when irreen wood is used, nnd th ser vants are careless, persons have been suffocated by the carbonic acid sras that accumulates while, they are asleep. Statistics of Life.
