A perfect epidemic of trouble, about precious stones seems to have set in. The last case should furnish revelations na sensational as any of those previously before the public.
The facts, so far as they have leaked out, are there; A certain nobleman possessed a very valuable diamond and opal necklace. His wife was afraid to wear opals and refused to don the necklace. A bort time ago the peer showed the ornament to a young lady who is engaged to be married. On her admiring it be laughingly said she might have it. Thanking him, she bore the precious article in triumph to her room.
The next morning the peer asked for the return of the jewel, and on the lady replying that he had given it to her his lordship declared that he had merely spoken in jest. The Indy refuses to give up the necklace and still retains it.

One of their early warships was the old Confederate (British-built) cruiser Stonrenil, which some of us remember, and which the Jaw acquired in time to use during their Civil War of 1868. It is noteworthy, how. every that the first fronclad they ordered to be built was constructed by Messrs. Hall & Co., of Aberdeen, who built the first of the China tex. clippers.
