A LOST DIAMOND.
"And it was (ho moat beautiful swine
inat 1 ever saw in a linger ring. None of
llioso paltry things you ain't wear till
candle light on account of tho yellow
there is in them. So whito, 80 clear, so
brilliant, pellucid ns a water-drop nnd
sparkling as a star! It win all but big
enough, too, to Imvc a naniej of its own,
like those that tho royal diamonds have
'Ktar of tho Four 'points of the Com
pass 'Light of tho World to Come,'
'Glory of tho Middle- of tho Earth,'
Mother of tho Moon.' "Why under tho
tin," cried ".Mrs. Torrance, tho pretty
crcaturo in a bew itching gown, pouring
coffee for her husband, tho little butler
having I ceii dismissed by Mr. Torrance
in fear of tho w rath to come, perhaps
"shouldn't our diamonds have names
as well as thoso of kings and queens
and "
"Yours ought to have ono," said her
husband, quietly. ' It would bo suitable
to call now; it s in tho vocative, you
know."
"Well, I must say I don't bclisve any
man was ever to undisturbed by tho loss
of such a thing as that. Archibald,
that stouo was worth a thousand dol
lars." "Hcally I ought to bo awaro of tho
fact, dear, if an) body is. 'You have of
fered to sell it and procure that sum for
my necessities every time I havo been
hard, up since wo married. And if I
havo Mildred arrested for its theft, as
you RtigTcst, it will cost another thou
land b f ra wo arc done with it. For she
would certainly be proved inuoccnt, and
then a libel suit would be tho next thing
in order."
"lint, Archy,Mildrid can't bo proved
innccent. How can she be, when I know
she took it? And there was no ono else
to tako it." And Mrs. Torrance paused
with suspended cup. her great wonder
ing eyes searching space for a reply. "If
ever nnythiug lay iu a straight lino, it is
tho evidence against that rirl," sho con
tinued. 1 "Tho other day when tho ring
foil on tho floor sho was in the room, and
ho asked mo wbai a stouo liko that was
worth, aud then gavo such a sigh that I
said, 'I 8tippso you thiuk it's wrong for
mo to wear a thousand dollars on my lin
ger?' And sho said, 'I wasti't thinking
of tho ring; I was only thinking that a
thousand dollars can do a great deal of
good.' Thcmiux! 'Weil,' 1 said, 'it
does s great deal of good in looking
pretty on my hand.' 'Indeed it does
look' beautifully there,' snid she she's
very particular about her adverbs; I wish
sho waB about her catechism 'but a good
deed done by a hand is its most beauti
ful jewel, to my thinking.' Just hear
thutl To her mistress! Are you through?
Why, I've only just begun."
"Sho is.quito a missionary," said Mr.
Torrance, picking up his newspaper.
"And tho worst of it is, she is right."
"Now, Archibald, don't, for mercy's
Bake, go to reading!" said his wife." "I
do think tho morning news might wait
for once. It's nothing but dynamiters
blowing iii tho British cinpire.nnd Arabs
making mummies of the British army
ail abstractions; but my ring is some
thing positive, tangible, hero nt hand."
"1 wish it were!" said Mr. Torranco.
"And then I could be allowed " But
ns he glanced at tho lovely creature op
posite, with her reproachful brown eyes
in which stood two tears as big as the
diamond she had lost, her color going
and coming with her breath, as you
might say. und tho rose-colored ribbons
of her morning cap all a-llutter with her
earnestness, ho folded his paper, and
said, "Well, my dear?"
"Well, my dear!" mimicked Mrs.
Torrance, in derision. "I should say it's
anything but well when a man hears of a
servant insulting actually insulting
his wife, and says she's in the right."
"Now, Janet, I will submit it to your
own judgment if that's a fair interpreta
tion." "Vou needn't do nnythiug of the. sort.
IUsn't fair to suppose I have any judg
ment, if what I say concerning .Mildred
perfectly ridiculous cognomen. Who
ever heard of Mildred for a servant's
name?"
"Why not Mildred?"
"Why not Gwendoline.then.or Fredo
gonde, or Thusnelda? How would it
seem to be telling Gladys to brush the
dust oil my shoes? And Mildred is just
as bad. If I had my way all the cooks
should be Noras, and all the second girls
should be Kllens, and if they came from
England, then they should bn Elizas and
Mary Anns, aud it wouldn't sound as if
you were taking a liberty with your su
periors when your own name is
just plain Jane. I ought to have
been Kosamond myself, you know,"
6aid Mrs. Torrance, absently,,
twirling tho grounds in her cup," or
Katheritie, or Eloise, or something. But
I'm sure I havo trouble enough with
these people without being troubled
with their names. And 1 don't believe
her name is -Mildred, auway. I believe
it's just plain Martha, and she took the
Mildred. If she took my diamond, she
wouldn't stop nt. taking a name. Or
maybe it was just Mitly " Aud here Mis.

amazement lo see her husband's eyes
twinkle, and ho himself Moj back in his
chair, as he pushed his plate away, with
a laugh he could repress no longer.
"If she took your diamond. -. Well,
my darling, I am glad you havo arrived
at tho diamond once moro. I began to
think it had been lost again. Hut don't
tell mo about tho inconsequence of a
woman's mind. Its workings aro laby
rinthine, but the thought always comes
out at thu placo it went in. Now, lotus
bo business like, if wo can, Janet. What
makes you think that this pretty Mild
red of ours took the diamond?"
"l'retty Mildred! Well, perhaps bo
catiso she is pretty," said Mrs. Torranco,
looking like a satirical sparrow.
"Not at all impossible," said her hus
band, gravely.
"You don't mean to imply that I
would denounce a person as a thief be
cause you said sho was pretty t" cried
Mrs. Torrance, half rising to her feet.
"I've ns good a mind to leave the table
as ever I had to cat. I would, if the
buckwheat cakes had come up."
"My dear child!"
"Vou treat me exactly ns if I were a
child," cried the outraged wife. "What
do I care whether my maid is pretty or
not? Being pretty, apparently, doesn't
keep her hands from picking and steal
ing. I know sho stole my diamond just
as well as if I bad soon her do it."
"But what would she do with it!"
"What a question? As if that sort of
person didn't know where to disposo of
things easily and take caro of tho pro
ceeds! 1 wonder if Patricia is never go
ing to send those cakes up "
, "How in tho world did ourcook come
to be called l'atricia?"
"I called ho so myself when sho cajuc.
Herownnatno was Hannah, a combina
tion of sounds I utterly detest, and
wasn't going to havo ringing iu my ears
all the time. And she is so tall and
erect sho justifies Putritia. Don't you
think so?"
"All right," said Mr. Torrence. think
ing it best to mako no reference to the
Noras of a few minutes since, "But wo
were speaking of Mildred."
"I did think' very well of Mildred, I
will confess, before this." sarfl Mrs. Tor
rance, with judicial calmness. "Sho is
educating her sister, who has a voico
such a voico! for a church singer, when
no will havo a salary that will bo wealth
to them, and cive some lossons
beside. And bIio was wrapped up
iu her. Aud I took - an interest
iu them myself, nnd gavo her a si lie
dress to make over, nnd got a new cloak
that l really didn't need, so as to
give lier my old one (and I saw sho had
tho good taste to take off some of tho
trimming), and luts of my old music.
Aud out of her own wages Mildred has
to Into a room nnd a piano nnd pay for
her lessons; somebody gives ler her
board till sho can pay tho debt, and it
takes every cent .Mildred earns; and you
sco it is quite natural that she should
look about her to find where sho cau
turn a penny "
"An honest penny," said Mr. Tor
rance. "A girl who is doing that for
another is not one that would be likely
to turn any other sort of penny,"
"How you do love to interrupt me,
Mr. Torrance! It really seems as if you
couldn't bear the sound of my voice! I
was going on to say, before you took the
words out of my mouth, that recently
this sister of hers has been advised to
tako lessons of another master, who asks
all creation, but is really worth it. And
ho says ho cau make her voice a fortuijo
to her. Aud they havo been dreadfully
cast down because they couldn't do it.
And u'iw you see where the diamond
comes iu. If she can get for that stone
anything near its value, her sister Mabel
cau tako her lessons. And her voico is
delicious just perfectly delicious !" ex
claimed Mrs. Torrance, forgetting tho
diamond again. "Mildred had her come
hero and sing tot inc. And I can't de
scribe to you. I never heard a lark or
a nightingale, but a bobolink isn't a
whistle to it. A flute, n trumpet
well, it was 8veet aud satisfying and
penetrating as tho odor of some flower,
aud yet soft as tho velvet sido of the
petal of the flower. Angels would sing
so, maybe, if there are any. And I was
just carried away. I forgot all about
her sister's being my maid. I cried and
I laughed, and I felt as if I had found
her. And now I will solemnly tell you,
Archy dear" and sho bent "across the
pretty china service, transfixing him
with her radiant eyes "I looked at my
ring, and I turned it and turned it, anil
I said to myself I have had tho good of
it ever siuco Grand father Ho Peyser gavo
it to me, and everybody knew 1 had it,
and my position was pretty well estab
lished, diamond rings or not, and when
you were able to afford a real grown-up
butler, you would probably get me
plenty; and if I sold it now, and gave
this poor dear girl the money to secure a
career, what ti blessing it would bo to
her, and what a joy I would bo givingto
tho world in her, too; for of course she
wouldn't bo confined to a church choir
in that case, and if she were, in what
a heavenly fashion could those tones of
hers swim out over a prayerful audience,
aud just take tho prayer on their silvery
strength, and lead it up, up; and any
body who is the means of producing
more of them, and so brings down the
price of prima donnc in tho market, is a
public benefactor, to bo sure, anyway;
and I was just oil the point of saying
that I would speak to you, and if you
approved, as I knew you would, I could
have a thousaud dollars or thereabouts
for them to-day, when Mrs. Yeasey hap
pened in, and so, as I didn't want Mrs.
Vea.-ey to know anything about it, and
bo taking tho wind all out of my sails, 1
just told Mubel to come aaiu to-day aud
I would havo something further to sav to
her! Aud so I shall!" cried Mrs. Tor-!
France, taking breath with renewed vigor.
"1 shall havo to tell her that her sister
has been arrested for a thief, and she
may go sing to her in prison."

"But robbery is a very harsh term,
Janet darling, when carelessness may be
the whole thing."
"There it is again. ' My carelessness,
not their dishonesty. When I went to
the washstand I turned tho ring on my
finger again, and there was tho stone
gono."
"And how many times have I told
you that tho careless habit of washing
your hands in your rings wears oil infini.
tesimal fractions of the gold till tho
stones aro loosened in tho sotting, and
drop out without your being aware of
it ?"
"You aro always so wise after the act!
How do you know I wasn't going to
tako my rings oil? You aro so ready to
find me at fault! But I thought at first
the stone must have washed out-"
"So it seems you did wash your hands
with tho ring on?" said tho turning
worm.
"Yes, I did. There! And I sent for
the plumber immediately, for I knew if
it had washed out, it must have caught
in the first trap; and ho took up the
pipo, but it wasn't there. And ho said
if ho made a real job of it, and went
down to the main something, ho might
find it there; but I thought that would
cost more than tho diamond itself "
"Wise woman," groaned Mr. Tor
ranee. "And so, you see, I didn't accuso Mil
dred in tho lirst place. I searched, aud
took every precaution. I didn't think
of such a thing till I saw her stand
there turning moro colors than the lady
in tho lobster "
"You don't say that you really have
accusod her?"
"Well, what if I have? I must lose
my diamond that my dear grandfather
favc me when I was married, and that
treasured so, and enduro it all in
silence for fear some little hussy's feel
ings will be hurtt My feelings are of
no consequence nt all! It isn't to be
reckoned to my nccount that I was ready
to give her -the diamond and I love
diamonds. I don't think there's any
thing so beautiful id the whole world""
"But, Janet, you are alwavs so posi
tive." "How can you say so? What am I
ever positive about? You wouldn't have
trie distrust the evidence of my senses?
And if I ever saw guilt on any face "
"There is nothing more fallible than
the evidence of your senses."
"I beg your pardon. I can sec as far,
and cau. hear as quickly, and taste as
keenly as' any ono alive. , And for you to
begin to run down my eyes now per
haps they're not so bright as they have
been but I never thought to hear you
twitting me of growing old in this way,
all of n sudden" (trying hard to swallow
her sobs) "because you're interested
in in my servant-maid "
"For Heaven's sake, Janet, tuittk
what you're saying!"
"I do think what I am saying," she
cried then, in a fury. "And I say,
whatever the evidence of my senses may
be, I have every evidence that you care
nothing at all for my feelings, ano? can
see me robbed without lifting your voice,
and and oh, a husband ought to love
his wife, and protect her, and take her
part." Aud here Mrs. Janet rose hur
riedly and pushed over her chair, and
was running from the room.
But Mr. Torrance was not to be out
done by any such sleight of foot, and
had caught her in his arms before 'she
reached tho door. "And do you think,"
he exclaimed, "thatl don't love you,
you abominable iittlo mass of contradic
tions? Do you suppose that I won't pro
tect you with my life itself? Do you
fancy for a moment that I won't take
your part, when you decide what your
part is?"
"Let me co! Let me go, sir?" she
exclaimed. "Or, else, at any rate, let
mo find my handkerchief!" And she
struggled for her handkerchief, that the
kisses her husband gavo her might not
bo too salt, and pulling it from her pock
et, something iu a great arc and stream
of lustro whirled out with the violently
wrenched handkerchief, sailed through
tho uir like nothing so much as a flying
rainboW, and fell at her feet.
, It was the lost diamond.
Mrs. Torrance stopped in the midst of
her tears, blushing, disheveled, diamond
dropped herself, as pretty a sight as a
rose-bush in a shower, anil held back her
skirts with both hands while sho looked
at tho great shining eve there before her
ontheearpet. "The horrid thing!" she
said. "The horrid, unwinkling, accus
ing thing! It is calling mo all sorts of
namy. I shall' never want to see it
again. Only think if I had denounced
that poor girl! I'm so glad I never
breathed of it to her. I remember 1 had
on this very gown when Mrs. Venscy was
in. How stupid of me! Now, I'll take
this down to a diamond broker's to-day,
and, Mildred's Mabel shall have her
thousand dollars' worth of lessons. I
daro say she'll sing at our parties by-and-by.
She'll bo our particular prima don
na. And by that time I shall havo im
proved Mildred iuto a companion. Oh,
I should think you would despiso such a
ridiculous, wickea little wife as I am!"
sho cried, turning to her husband. "Vou
ought to havo married a saint. What a
good man you aro, Archy!"
"My dear." said Mr. Archy, "life with
any other woman who didn't arrange
these little circuses for my morning en

How Thpf Accumulated Their
Wraith A Itlvlllte for Itajiklng;
itlelhoda) Heading; tho New.
A Montana letter to the Now York
Sun says that there are a few red men in
various parts of tho country who have
exhibited a disposition to amass wealth,
and havo succeeded pretty well.
Of tho Shoshoncs in Nevada and Utah
there are three or four who may be said
to be independent. George AVashington
and Shoshone Jack are both bloated
bondholders and aristocrats. The former
began stock raising in a small way sev
eral years ago. At first it was hard work
for him to get anything or to keep it
after he got it, because his dissolute,
happy-go-lucky companions exerted an
evil influence on him, but when ho finally
succeeded in marketing a couple of pigs
he was in great glee. Ho put tho first
money that he ever saved into a bank,
nnd about half of his tribe followed him,
giving vent to their disgust in groans
and grunts. When tho bank -' failed,
George was nearly beside'himself with
disappointment and rage. It took half
a dozen white men ' a week "to
explain to him how it was that a man
could put his money in a bank and never
get it again, while, the bankers were per
mitted to go about their business.
George Washington believes to this day
that the bank - failed on purpose to give
its officers a chance to run away -with his
hard-earned money.
Some white men ' gave George a little
help after. his misfortune, and he soon
had other pigs. , Then he branched out
into stock-raising in general, tand by
careful ecoaomy and the most untiring
industry ho has obtained a considerable
property. It is estimated that ho now
owns.$2,500 worth of ponies, cattle and
pigs,' and he has $300 or 1400 on de
posit with a mine boss who once helped
him. , Ho calls around to see the boss
every day of his life, and has dono so for
five or six years. When ho comes the
Bame dialogue is gone through with.
"You got 'cm?" ho will say.
"Yes, I've got 'cm," he will sav.
"Well, you keep 'ein. Me ecc you
every day. No see bank man; mebbe so
once, a year. Heap vamoose all same
coyote; no good."
Shoshone Jack is meaner than dirt,
but he has a level head. Some of his
associates are envious of him, but most
Indians are too lazy, to care about an
other's good fortune. J, Jack has a farm,
a house, several horses, cows and pigs,
and considerable money. ' It is almost
out of the question for any one to beat
him in a' trade of any kind. He is not
an untutored savage, for he knows every
trick, and he is one of tho very few In
dians who make money by playing
poker. What he gets ho keeps.
Jack has a great contempt for banks
and bankers, nnd no one has ever been
able to induce him even to enter a
banking house. Ho carries his money
in an old leather girdle, aud when he
spends a cent it is because ho wants
something pretty bad, and there is no
other way of gettiug it. Ho never pays
anything for railroad fare, though he
travels around a good deal, and what he
eats costs him little or nothing.
Old C'olorow of the Utes is a man of
some propel tv, and takes particular do
light in lording it over his associates.
He is too vain ever to be very prosper
ous in a financial way, as he will spend
money freely to gratify any whim that
lie may have or to accomplish anything
that he thinks will add to his import
anco iu the eyes of other members of
his tribe. One of his pet schemes is to
buy papers or books, and assume to
read them to tho savages. Whenever
he gets possession of a purnphlet.maga
zine, or book he will call as many of
the redskins about him as possible, and
in a dramatic way read them "the
news." His only conception of a printed
page is that it contains news, aud
whether he holds it right sido up or not
he will reel oil a lot of stuff about tho
things that are going Jon in the world
which will evoke many ki-yis from his
hearers anr? sago grunts from those who
do not pretend to understand. The
I'tes have no regular money-makers,
though a good many of them pretend
to do some farming. With the ma jority
tho idea is that tho goverment should
pay them for farming.
Ono of tho wealthiest Indians in tho
country is Chief Pcone, of tho Spokane
tribe, who lives near Spokane Fulls,
Washington Territory. Not another
man in the tribe has a nickel which is
not morally certain to go in card playing
or horse racing. Peoue has a long head,
shrewd business tact, and a consuming
desire to get ahead of tho world to some
extent, lie never plays cards, races
horses, or drinks whisky. Many years
ago he made up his mind that "it was
only a question of time when tho whites
would be wanting land at or near Spo
kane Falls, and he took up the best land
in that vicinity and made some efforts to
cultivate it. Ho built a rude house aud
lived there apart from his tiibe, though
exercising his authority as usual. In the
courso of time, when the Northern Pa
cific road was (surveyed, he saw further
opportunities for money making, which
he did not permit to pass unimproved,
and by the lime that white settlers began
to arrive he was iu possession of tho best
land in that vicinity. Ho sold out at
good prices, pocketed his money, and
said uothiug. When the town of Spo
kane Falls was luid out it was futind
that Peouo owned several good lotsiu it.
These havo been sold at a profit and the
money invested in cattle, horses and
bonds. As soon as Peoue made his
trades he abandoned faiinin" aud. tak- i
ing his money and portable property, ho
rejoined his tribe. lie lives now us
plainly as any of his brethren, aud is
even more careless than they about what
he eats and wears. ' It u said that he is

NEWS AM) NOTES FOR WOMEN.
Squares of frosted gold are linked to
gether for bracelets.
Some of tho most famous women in tin
world were old maids.
Crossed scarf draperies are still much
used for grenadine dresses.
Tho prettiest sunshades this summci
are made of canvas over colored silk oi
satin.
Feather fans are popular this season,
and are particularly attractive with t
dressy toilet.
Tho fashion of round waists and
sashes is coming more and moro in favoi
day by day.
Tho ctamine scarfs for cool afternoon;
are cross-barred with colored silks and
dotted with chenille.
Women aro numerous in the Britisb
civil service. In a competition for 103
places in the postoffice 2,534 women en
tered. A magnificent new black lace is the
marquiso, which has a cord running
round the design in tho style of tho finest
Spanish point.
Buff lawns havo" been revived this
season, trimmed with white and buff
embroidery, and are very clean and
daiaty-looking.
The revival of an old fashion is that
of using alternate stripes of lace inser
tion and material for basque, sleeves
and apron drapery of a dress.
Tho capability of the female mind for
practical invention has again been shown
this time by a Minnesota woman who
has patented a riding saddle.
A novelty of the season is the pretty
jacket-bodice of white or bull ctamine,
trimmed -.with t insertion and lace to
match, and very pretty to wear with
any colored skirt.
Cut-crystal balls, silver-plated ovals
and plain, burnished silver, profile
heads and horseshoes, with a snake
gracefully coibd about, are the latest
notions in parasol handles.
Koman sashes make very gay round
waists, with which young ladies brighten
up and give variety to their toilets by
having this extra bodice to change witb
the lace basque that belongs to the
skirts.
In bonnets, the largo capote, verj
much in the shape of a Norman cap,
with a mass of flowers heaped up on the
top, is the last nouveautc, while hats are
higher and more extravagant than evei
in shape and trimming.
A Chicago lady who made purchases
of bric-a-brac in Paris to the amount of
$4,000 get home to discover that every
single article was on sale at within half
a mile of her home, and at much lower
prices than she had paid.
Gainsborough hats of immense size,
trimmed with large bouquets of any
thing (wild flowers for choice,) and tied
with a ribbon of any loud color, are all
the rage in Paris for the country or sea
side. The moro dishevelled the effect
the better the hat is liked.
Seven hundred women are employed
at the central telegraph office in London
and about three hundred and fifty more
at tho different telegraph and postal
branch ullices of tho metropolis. At
Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester1' and
other provincial centers a considerable
number cam their living in this way, be
side nine hundred similarly employed
outside the civil service.
Mr. Young, the coiffure of the Princess
of Wales, begins dressing hair at 7
o'clock in the morning of the drawing
room day. So great is the anxiety to re
ceive his services that he is engaged, not
days, but weeks, beforehand. Woe to
the lady who comes first on tho list. She
must be in a state of worry the whole of
the morniug, lest a careless movemerft
should disarrange the coiffure before the
hour approached for displaying it to the
world.
3'hife or cream-colored flannel is the
fashionable fancy for seaside and mountain-house
toilets. Braid is the usual
garnituie for these, either plain, cream
colored, or white Hercules braid, or the
more drossy gilt braid, which is
warranted not to tarnish. Such suits .are
also prettily trimmed with velvet, the
vest, with collar, cuffs and skirt panel,
being of velvet. When velvet trim
mings aro used the buttons should be of
tho same.
Very wide sashes are worn, both with
washing and silk gowns, and also foi
evening, and the loops are so arranged
that they form a back drapery of them
selves. A white lace dress with a variety
of these sashes, may be made to do a
good deal of hard work for morning or
evening wear. A velvet bodice iu the
evening with a lace skirt is always dressy,
and tho same skirt with a luce bodice
will do for afternoon wear. Yalenci
icnues is tho best luce for this stylo of
toilet.
Five years ago a remarkably bright
and pretty girl of seventeen worked in a
San Francisco laundry. The son oi
wealthy parents fell in lovo with her.
Sho returned his passion, but said that
sho would not marry him, as ho wistied,
becauso she was uneducated and coarse.
Then he offered to send her away to

1IY WIFE AND I.
Come and drain a cup of joy,
Now with mo, good wife,
And bring tho girl and boy
Now with thi-e, good wife.
Let all hearts be blithe and gay,
It is fourteen years to-day
Since you spake the little "aye"
That to me was lifo.
When in wodiling whito arrayed
I beheld you stand,
Why, I almost felt afraid
E'en to touch your hand.
And when with love intent
Your gaze on me you bent,
You seemed a being sont
From tho "Belter Land."
And an angel you have proved
Since that good glad hour,
Aye, wherever we have rovod
In sunshine and shower.
Iu all goodness you transcend,
And all excellences blend
In the mother, wife, and friend,
As a sacred dowor.
You have made my life more pure
Than it might have been;
You have taught me to endure,
And to strive and win.
With your simple song ol praise
You sanctify our days,
And our thoughts to heaven you raise
From a world of sin.
Come, let's quit the dusy town
With its noiso and strife,
And seek the breezy down
Thnt with health is rife.
Work is good and so is play,
Let us keep our wedding-day
O'er the hills and far away,
Happy man and wife.
-John Geo. Watts, in Casselfs Magazine.
