A LETTER from the United States Consul at Capo Town, Africa, warns Americans who anticipate going to that country to buy diamonds to buy them of licensed dealers only. The trade in stolen diamonds has become so great that a law lias been passed punishing the buyer with seven years' imprison ment in a convict station, among the vilest of criminals. Many innocent buyers suffer and among those now confined are two American citizens, Isaac Levy, and Fred Nelson, the latter a soil of a retired Boston merchant. All effort is to be made to secure their pardon. Nelson has been confined four years. IJo THE "patriotic" men who purchase generous supplies of fire crackers and such small artillery, with which to cele brate the Fourth of July and kindred holidays, ever reflect that each irritat ing report sounds the knell of just so much money—hardly earned, sometimes —literally burned up—hopelessly de stroyed ? At city pyrotechnic displays thousands of dollars are consumed in a few minutes, and for what ? That the eyes of a heated, uncomfortable crowd may be momently dazzled by a glare of colors which die as tliey are born. Of all pleasures this is the most evanescent and to spend thousands of dollars in order to secure it, wbile the poor are always with us, is surely nothing less than wanton misuse of money. A PRETTY story, pretty enough to be true, is told of Princess Louise, who wedded the Earl of Fife. It seems this shy royal maiden had been "struck on" the Earl for years; in fact, even before sho came out, but she had never told her love, nor did the Earl tell his until a kind court busy-body, guessing the secret, went to papa with it. And during these live years the Princess always bought a birthday present for the man she loved, but as she never dared give it to him, the little gift was laid away in a drawer and carefully locked up. There is something exceed ingly touching in this fit of girlish sen timent, and, with it in mind, no won der tho Prince of Wales spoke of his daughter's engagement as one of pure affection. A girl like this will make a tender, loving wife. NATURE has enabled some animals to see objects behind them as well as in front without turning around. Tho haro has this power in a marked degree. Its eyes are large, prominent, and placed laterally.

Dana once came near own iug the Albany Journal, but very few outside of a select few knew of the fact, says tile New York Times. It was after the retirement of Thurlow Weed from the paper and his removal to the city. Lucius Robinson was then controller for the first time, and was instrumental ill bringing together the principal own ers of the Journal and Air. liana. The price was set at SBO,OOO, and everybody considered that the bargain was con summated; and it was, legally, with the exception of drawing up the papers, The owners of the Journal were anx ious to sell out. Thurlow Weed got news of the sale. There were certain political affairs which he felt would suffer if Mr. Dana gained control of tho Journal, so he hurried to Albany aud gave the order that the newspaper must not be sold at that time, because it would be suicidal to the Kepublican interests. Iu the meantime Mr. Dana had be come acquainted with the fact that the owners were anxious to get rid of the property, anil was advised to offer $1,500 less than the stipulated price. Ho thought he would save that much. He telegraphed to Albany offering $78,- 500, and promptly the answer was sont back that the paper was not for sale, Lucius ltobinsou, who owned some of tlio stock was furious. The other own ers tried to buy his holdings of stock, hut he would not let go. He had a bright young man iu his office by the name of George W. Deiners, and upon him a compromise was made. Mr. Robinson insisted, in consideration of the sale of his stock, that Mr, Dcmers should go into the Journal as editnr. He did so, and the very first editorial he wrote was against Lucius ltobinsou, This was the last straw, and after that Mr, Itobinson was a Democrat, Where They Are Slow and Sure. Some one says that, taking tho rail roads mile for mile, there are three accidents in the North to one in the South. It is a wonder the proportion is not greater. On some of the railroads in the South, when the engineer sees an obstruction on the track a mile ahead, he, without slacking the speed of his train, jumps off, runs ahead, and re moves the cause of the threatened ac cident, and then waits for a few minutes for his engine to oome along.— Norris town Herald, A CHINAMAN'S WOOING. It Frightened the Girl, and the Suitor Fled. As n pretty young typewriter sat at her desk near an office "window looking out on Broad street the other day, says the Atlanta Constitution, working rapid ly with her nimble fingers, she felt the consciousness of strange eyes upon her, and raised lier own only to meet those of a Chinaman. The Chinainnn was ga-ing at her most intently. Tho young lady wont on with hei work, thinking the strange little figure would depart; but it moved not, neither did it speak for some minutes. After gazing at her intently, the figure glided lioisoicsdy into the office, and said to one of tho clerks: "Aleliean gal muoliee likee Chinee." The "Melicau gal" referred to flushed with ombarrassmcnt and indignation. She didn't fancy being likened to those ladies with small feet and queer facer that disport themselves upon fans and banners. Tho clerk started to ray that ho could see 110 ro. emblancc, but the Celestial had departed as noiselessly ar he had come in. The next day and the next the yellow man in blue clothes stood silently at the window and gazed at tho pretty little girl, who grew 111010 mid more nervous at this dumb admiration. One morning sho found on her desk a package uncannily interesting. It war wrapped in a Chinese gilt cloth of gold en tissuo embroidered in Chinese lig ures. Removing this the girl discovered a box of papier macho, wrought in won drous designs of beasts and birds, a l'og ular illustrated delirium-tremens of a box. Lilting tho lid revealed a thin, white paper, with "Molicon girl" written upon it. Beneath this lay a wealth ol sweets, nuts, candies, and dates, pre pared in such away as only the Chinese can, all upside down in a surprising sort of way, with syrup in balls that made you wonder liow they were fixed, and all sorts of conglomerations going to make a sweet harmony. Tho girl distrusted these enticing things, which goes to prove she was timid enough for a (tliiueso wife, if feat could make her rosist tho seductive bon bon so enticing to tlio female youth o) America. Bui she said she couldn't, and silt) wouldn't touch the stuff, anil so tho other employees, first in economy and presenting joy, ate the whole box full. The Chinaman and tho boxes came regularly for several days. The young lady would not touch them, lint liet comrades enjoyed tho gifts too well to doubt them. The lust visit wns ft few (lays ago. He entera l tlio otlico in a garb the Mikado might have envied, so richly wns it em bossed end embroidered with things that swam nnd crawled find Hew. In his hand he hold a lighted yellow candle that the Chinese uso as an hour glass. Placing it before the startled girl tit the typewriter, he said, solemnly: "Mally while light burn.' Tho girl, in mortal terror of being os poused by somo compelling celestial right, snatched the candle and blew it out; and then the Chinaman, showing for tho first time some human emotion, left her presence with a face one degree more passionless and solemn. This was tho end of a Chiueso courtship. The girl has never seen him since. The Shah at the Table. Tho Persian Shah's table habits aro good, and, co'ißoquontiy, his health is at least fair ; but lie never trusts him self far from his physician, L)r. T'llQ lozan, a Frenchman, whoso skill re covered him from a slight touch of paralysis that he had a couple of years ago, and who enjoys his unbounded confidence.

"The King of Kings" eats alone, tak ing bat two substantial meals daily, one at 110011, the other at 9 o'clock in the evening.

I The American engineers who are now making a visit to Paris were afforded while in England, says the Boston Herald, an opportunity of examining the work which has already been done on the Manchester ship canal. Although only eighteen mouths have passed sinco the first sod was turned the amount of excavation is computed to be 17,00(1,001) or 18,000,000 cubic yards, leaving about 28,000,000 yet to be done. With the exception of the Suez and Panama canals, tho Manchester ship canal is ; probably tlie largest and most expensive work of the kind that has ever been undertaken. When completed it will have a water depth of twenty-six feet | and n width varying from Bin to 200 feet, according to local requirements, | and although its length (thirty six miles; j is much shorter than a number of canals j that have been built in this country, yet j in all other respects it far exceeds any- j thing wo have yet attempted. The i great expense in constructing the canal L found in avoiding or overcoming the ! already existiug obstacles to direct j transit in the shape of railroads, canals, viaducts, and other public works. Thus, in one instance, in order to make the London A' Northwest in bridge at Bun corn so that ships can puss under it, it was found necessary to build twelve miles of now railway deviation and em bankments for the trains to npproa-h the new bridge, seventy five feet above high water, by gradients not. exceeding one in IBS. Altogether there are many novel devices to test engineering ability in the construction of this work, an mi dortaking that is now giving employ ment to 20,000 workmen, and that, when completed, as it will be at tho end of 1801, will make the inland city ol Manchester a considerable i eaport, hav ing dock water space of move than 101 Acres and more than Uvo miles' length of wharves. Discovery of Ancient Coins. The discovery of a large liuinl er of York coins at Neville's ( 'TOSH, in the north of England, is exciting a good deal of interest. They are believed to be associated with the battle between the English and Scotch armies in 134(5. The coins, all of s Ivor, number about 300, and were discovered in an urn. A young mau was b id's nesting near Nov jlle's ('ross, and near the foot of a tree saw what appeared to be a pot sticking out of the ground. In picking it up it smashodt and a number of coins fell to the ground. Taking thorn first to be checks, ho afterwards found out what they really wero, and sold about forty of them at Durham, where they wore melted down. Others lie took to a town councillor of Durham, Mr. Fowler, who. perceiving that they wore English and Scotch coins in a good slate of presorwi tion, bought them at a fair price. The rest, with a portion of the urn, wero se cured by Mr. George Noasham, el' the Durham University. The urn is about nine inches high, and of media val work manship. Tim coins ar grn:t*, half groats, and pennies of tlio two Scottish Kings, l.obort Bruce and David IT., and the first threo Edwards of England, The collection of theso interesting coins, all now in the possession of Mr. Fowler, in cludes a large number of pennies from the royal and episcopal mints of Durham and York. The inscriptions show that the groats and half-groats of Edward 111. were struck in London and at York. They form an interesting study for numismatists, and it. is probable that the collection will bo transferred to a mu seum. The Dominion of Canada. How many, in a hundred average American citizens, have tho loast idea of the constitution, government and judici ary of that country to tho north of us? Beyond the general notion that Cana da consists principally of ice ami snow, and is groaning beneath tho despotic lieol of British tyranny, most Ameri cans never take tho trouble to think about her at all unless somo banker, cashier or confidential clerk happens to have committed an indiscretion and sought an asylum within lier boodle protecting borders. As a matter of fact, each succeeding year sees the dominion drifting farther i and farther from what is sentimentally j called "tho mother country." Tho fodorated colonics of Ontario, Quebec, Now Brunswick, Nova Scotia, JL'rinco Edward's Island, Manitoba, Kee watin and British Columbia enjoy al most precisely tho same amount of in dependence as do tho various States of the Union with reference to tho central government. Each has its own legis lature, in most cases consisting in a single chamber, and a written constitu tion contained in the "British North America Act," passed by the Imperial Parliament, undor which the disjointed and conflicting colonies commenced to bind themselves together in 1807. To understand the system under which Canada governs herself - for she is prac tically a republic, with the sole excep tions that she does not elect her Gov ernor and cannot make foreign treaties - a general outline of tho Federal Gov ernment would have to be given, Is It Pickett's Ghost P The colored people along tho lino of Leo County, Georgia, are greatly ex cited over the alleged appearance of John Piokefct, a negro, who was hanged in Lee County on Juno 14. Piokett had murdered an old couple named Brooks on February '23, and c'ainiel that Mathilda Hicks instigated him to do tho deed. He was convicted and hanged on tho 14th, anil his body was turned over to his relatives. It was placed in a pino box and hurriedly diivon off to Sumter County, where ho was born, for burial. A week later it was rumored that he bad been resuscitated and nursed back to health. Those rumors have been kept growing stronger, until now there are persons who declare that they have seen Pickett since, and know that they could not have been mistaken. The latest statement is that Pickett was seen at a colored ohuroli near Smithvillo Inst Monday. He was described as wearing a white handker chief around his neck, which was still soro from the effect of the hanging. When asked as to where Piokett was living the negroes refused to talk, al leging that he would throw a spell over them if they should betray his where abouts.

The Women's Humano Society of Missouri appointed Mrs. Albert To Id to draft resolutions regarding the State ment of the papers tliut Sarah Bern hardt burned to death her pet dog. Mrs. Todd presented the following: The papers state that Sarah Bernhardt when in a lit of anger, seized her pet spaniel thrust i.t into the stove,and burned to death the innocent creature! All because it was begging its mistress in a most winsome way for recognition of its love. If this be true, we feel it to be our duty as a humane society, also as human beings, tocondemn in severest terms such a wicked and cruel net; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Women's Ilumuno Society of Missouri, many of whose members have witnessed with rapt ndmtration and wild enthusiasm the great Bernhardt's per fect rendition of the histrionic art upon the at age, do, with great, indignation and puiu. denounce her Into act as been barbarous and shocking beyond expression. Resolved, Tha* this stigma upon the great actress will in all civilized countries create such a feeling against her that, should she re visit these countries she will be coldly re ceived. Resolved, That this humiliating act makes us ft el indeed that we are "miserable sin ners."
