Of late years masquerades have been disallowed by the magistrates, and nobody regixta it.

The doctor was first led to invent his murderous gun by . humane motives. He thought that if a gun could be invented that would do the work of a hundred men. and re quire but a few men to operate itthe horrors of war would be greatly diminished,.' and the end would come Very rapidly of every struggle.' The first Gathng guns were purchased by Ben Butlnr and uaed by him at Poteraburg. - They crested consternation, and the news', of them went all oyer the world.

A great -many south African dia mond cf l ydlowiah or strawjcolqredtiBt have been sent to New York, where they are cutj set and sold for what they really are. These dia monds are worth from one-fourth to one-twentieth of the value of the white or bluish tinted brilliant. Within the past year diamond ex perts have discovered a process which removes, the yellowish tint of the African diamonds aad gives them the blue hue so highly prized. It will be recollected that a few days ago a ladj offered Borne of the bogus diamonds for sale in Boston and the fraud was detected. It is be lieved that a great number of thr diamonds now worn are of tha Boutb African variety.' They look ao much like the geuine article that a test is required to ascertain their real value.'

Tie says that he has not seen such a proa pect .for wheat & ten years: . 'It is good everywhere. Pennsylvania will raise 50,000, 0O0 bushels this year. In Michigan, Missouri, and Illinois the crop Is phenomenally good. The ffect of this great crop of wheat is being diseounred at Chicago. , Wheat has beerT sold for delivery in Liverpool at a dollar a bushel This will break up wheat raising in Europe. They can't afford over, there to raise wheat at a dollar a bushel on land worth, 9300 an acra. After this year America will raise wheat for the world. This year's yield will be 600,000, 000 bushels. , Thx guilds of London just now are the sub ject of parliamentary inquiry. - Theas guilds are antiqnkrian irehcs. ; Starting at first as politics! corporations for the protection of their members they subsequently became direc U d Into religious and commercial organiza tions.
