The second day Atter our misfortune, I received it telegram from. Robert, will& ran thus-' Come at once by the express. Thief catight, Bring Martha with you. Your evidence required, Will meet you at station." How admirably he had filled in the twenty words I The news soon leaked out and sprea!1 over the village; and as we drove through it in Mr. Thom - son's trap, which he kindly lent to its for the occasion, every ow; turned out to look at us; for, owing to gossip and the sensational accounts of the event that had appeared in the newspapers, we and our affairs were as public as if we were, as Martha said, the crowned heads of Europe." Tlae station -master was most obsequious, and himself held open the railway carriage door for us, and made the porters bring us foot - warmers. 'If1 win them,' began Martha, breaking upon a reverie into which I had fallen as the train started, '1 will sell them, and get a good. mortgage for the money at five per cent. Then I will buy a little pony and trap like, Mr. Thomson's—perhaps he'll sell me his cheap.' 'Talk of what you'll do with them when you've got them,' X burst in an- grily,. I declare it is perfectly disgrace- ful the way she makes eyes at that raan. And at her age too 1 She ought to know better, Ah 1 wells: I could tell things if I opened my mouth. I know who sent me those beautiful picootees in the summer, and it isn't Martha that he stops to speak to on Sundays after church. Robert met us at tbe terminus. He looked very mysterious, and spoke very oracularly when we questioned him about Ayel's capture. • '0 dear 1 what a crowd there is!' ex- claimed, Martha as we drove through the Strand. suppose, though, they are all going to the Police Court to hear our case.' It was Martha's first visit to the Metroplis, therefore her astonishment at the thronged •thor- oughfares was excusable. At length our ride came to an end. The cab stopped, and. Robert assisted us to alight. ' 0 look l' again cried Martha excit- edly, grasping his arm and pointing to wards a dirty little boy standing in the gutter with a newspaper placaEd held en front of him. We looked, and there, in inch and a half type, was printed, ' The great Indian jewel robbery—Cap- ture of the supposed thief.'—It gave one quite a little glow to read it. , It made one feel so important. Two po- liceixien were guarding the entrance to the court; but as soon as Robert told them we were witnesses in the great ease, they became wonderfully polite ; and one of them escorted us into a din- gy, dusty looking place, whetre Ayel was to be arraigned for her crime. We were conducted to a seat very much like an old-fashioned church pew, and told to wait until our case was called, svhich would not be long, as it was first on the list. '0 dear l' sighed Martha, as she glanced apprehensively at the unwash- ed and unvvholesonae-looking crowd that thronged around us. 'I am. so afraid of small -pox.' She had brought a mons- trous doable vinaigrette with her, at which she kept constantly smelling. ' Ton had better take a sniff, Patience,' she whispered, thrusting it under my nose. • It will keep off infection.' It was really too bad of her; for if there is anything I thoroughly de- test, it is aromatic vinegar. It always makes me sick. I pushed it away from me; and then some one cried 'Sil- ence!' and a little, gray-haired, old gentleman came in through a door- way at the back of the court and took his seat in it large leather -covered chair. ' Where are his horse -hair wig and ernaine robes?' whispered Martha. 'Hush!' I replied; don't speak so loud. Those are worn only by the judges.' ' isn't he a judge?' `No • he's a magistrate.' 'Oh do not think that she understood my explanation; but there was no time for anything more, as that treacher- ous black creature had just been plac- ed in the dock by a policeman. She looked. very wild and frightened, and glared around her just like a wild beast, Then Robert was made to stand up in the witness -box and take the oath, which X think he did most beautifully, kissing the book so rever• ently; and it must ha,ve cost him an effort to do so, for the cover was not particularly elea,n. • The magistrate listened attentively to every word he said, and wrote it all down in a book. 'Have the jewels been found?' he asked, ' Yes, please Your Washup,' answer- ed it policeman from the body of the court. Robert was asked to stand aside for it few moments, while the man took his place; and I must say it was most improper the flippant way in which he took the Oath. It was such a contrast to Robert's reverent dignity. In a few curt phrases, he told the magistrate that he had. found the prisoner in a low eating -house at, Larabeth, and that, when searched at the station, the jew- els had been discovered in her posses- sion. As he spoke, he produced the red bandana that she had been wont to wear tied over her hair, and unfold- ing it, displayed the lost jewels—the Maharajah's celebrated present—Aunt Purpose's diamonds 1 I leant forward eagerly to see them. Even Martha opened her eyes, which, since the com- mencement of the case, had been af- fectedly closed, and for the moment forgot to sniff at her vinaigrette. Yes; they were indeed bea,utiful and well worthy of all our anxiety and trouble about them. A ray of sunshine had struggled through the dingy skylight, and falling upon them, made them sparkle and glitter with a thousand varied flashes of light. The set con- sisted of a necklace, a very large brooch, it pair of ear -rings, and it peer of bangles, which I thought were brac- elets, but which turned out to be ank- lets. They were handed up to the magistrate, who inspected them very earefully. Then the policeman was told to stand down; and Robert re- gainec1 his former piece. Are those the jewels?' asked the magistrate, as a, clerk placed thern be- fore him. I believe they are,; he answered, as he gazed at them ettrioesly, must have somethigg strange), than belief,' ;mid ehe magistrate; arid then a most astounding thing came to light, With the exception of the pris- oner, there was no one, to our know- ledge, in England who had ever seen the jewels before they had been stol- en! Who was to identify them? It was vain, that Robert produced ' the empty =Se and, showed the marks • where they had lain. That by itself vvas 880 evidence, the magistrate said; and before cone:1140ns' the prison.er, he must have some stronger legal ' proof put before him showing that the jewele that had been lost and those found on her were the nettle, '3 think I had better adjourn the case, to enable you to Otani this evi- dence,' he suggested to Robert, who was completely nonplussed at the tarn affairs had taken. Was be to send • out to India and subpoena the Mabee rajah himself ? It seemed such a mons- trous thing that, with no moral doubt on the subject, the law should prevent our recoverinseartieles of so much value as those in question, is their value?" said the mag- istrate, who had been giving them it second, examination. Several lace of rupees,' murmured that idiotic Martha, quoting my words as she sniffed at the smellbag-salts' end. of her vinaigrette until its strength naade her gasp, and sent the tears coursing down her cheeks. ' Between three and four thousand pounds, I believe,' said. Robert.. The magistrate still went on looking at them, amidst a dead silence in the court, save by the noise made by those fussy reporters as they sharpened their pencils. Have you anyone here who can give a positive opinion as to their value?' at length he asked, as he turned to Robert ; but he could only shake his head. Then, a lawyer who was in court rose, and told the magistrate that his client who was waiting for the next case, was an eminentjeweller, and would be very happy to give the Bench his assistance. A tall, raiddle-aged, and gentlemanly looking man arose, and accepting the magistrate's invitation, stepped up be- side him, and took the jewels m his hand. He turned and twisted, them about, rilaced the tip of his tongue to them, held them up to theslight, and then, fixing a small magnifying glass in one eye, he stared at them. through it for the space of a few seconds, 'They are excellent—unequalled, I should say,' he said as, having finished his examination, he returned them to the magistrate. 'The finest that I have ever seen.' Oh 1 how our cheeks flushed at this invaluable testimony to their worth, and. how fast those clever reporters' pencils flew over their paper! 'And pray, what may be their value?' asked. .the magistrate. You might have heard a pin drop as every one listened for the answer. ' Their present value '— he spoke with provoking slowness—' may be— about—five pounds.' It was as if a bomb -shell had fallen amongst as. The magistrate smiled.They are then,' he said, as I thought' — 'Paste—made doubtless by one of the best French houses.' The announcement was greeted with an uncontrollable bbsst of laughter: and I could have stabbed those con- ceited reporters. It did make me mad to see the gusto with which they -wrote cloven what I knew they were de- scribing as Sensation in court.' To add to the confusion, Martha screamed herself into • hysterics, • dur- ing which she contrived to empty that nasty aromatie vinegar all down. the skirt of ray black silk; fortunately, it was not my best one. I hardly know how we got out of the place and away from the vulgar crowd that pressed against us on every side. At last, I managed to drag her into a cab; and we drove back to the rail- way station, where, after a time, Rob- ert joined us. Ayel, it appeared, after we had left, had confessed her theft, and been sentenced to a short term of imprisonment, the hapless jewels be- ing returned to Robert. Silent and glum, we returned to Nettlethorpe, hoping, by a discreet sil- ence, to keepour shame and annoyance from our neighbors. On searching through Aunt Purpose's papers, we discovered that she had been perfectly aware of the composi- tion of the Maharajah's present; but owing to the prestige that the sup- posed possession of such valuable jew- els ga3re her, had kept the secret— even to the deception of the confiden- tial Ayel. It was too bad. of her, though, to deceive so cruelly her hus- band's kith and kin, raore especially as, to our chagrin, we found that all her and -Uncle Rib's savings had been sunk in an annuity, which of course died with her. After sending Ayel back to India, at the expiration of her term of im- prisonment, which was more than she deserved after her ingratitude—the 'rest, residue, and remainder,' of Aunt's property to be divided among us came to a trifle under a five pound note. As for the jewels—drat thein 1—we would not draw lots for them. Robert sold them for two pounds ten, which he pocketed, to pay his expenses, he said, in his chase after Ayel. He never even offered either Martha or me the price of our railway fair to London—and it was first-class too, for we had to travel by the express—as he declared that it was insufficient to repay him all that he had expended. Our resolution to keep silent about the events of our visit to London was rendered useless by those wretched pa- pers. They not only published a full and. unnecessarily detailed account of the case, but some of them actually made merry over our sufferings in leading articles! We thought, however, that the neighbors would. 'have had the delicacy and good taste to respect our wishes on the subject; but alas 1—for Ill -manners commend me to a Nettle- therpian—instigated, as I verily be- lieve, by that man Thomson—he thinks himself a wit I—they positively dared to give us it nrickname, and since then, whereever we go, we are always known as ' The Family Diamonds!' (THE END.) Remarkable Death. of an Infant. A curious case was investigated at an inquest at Charing Cross Hospital, Lon- don, an Friday, in conneetion with the death of a four months' old child, which had been left in charge of a sister, aged three years, and. whith was found by the mother choking, It was discovered at the hospital that almost it handful of pstper was in the gullet, and the in- fant could not have chewed and swal- lowed that quantity. •The mother stat- ed thae the little girl was very jealous of the baby.

A. Clever Ruse to Illo-ot-lw ink the CuateMS OiScInIs 01 Russ la. Until within recent years the Rus- sian frontier on the German liound- ary was guarded in a surprisingly weak manner for a nation so completely un- der military rule as the Czar's great empire. But now there is a strong cordon of garrisons only a few miles apart, and a careful patrol service be- tween them. • The chief duty of these garrisons fa to prevent smuggling and the introduction of nihilist literature ,into Russia. The duty is hard and monotonous, and the Czar does not like to have his best trained and most ef- fective regiments sent out along the boundary line. For the most part these garrisons consist of young recruits from the eastern and. central provinces of Rus- sia. They are seldom expert soldiers, and the lax discipline they are under is further weakened by their excessive drinking. Their small pay is doled out to them twice a month, and every ko- peck of it is immediately expended in vodka. After the vodka is gone they employ their spare time in making raids across the boundary line into the German farm yards to supplement their meagre rations. Along the entire boundary line. be- tween these two countries there is a series of great open plains. Over these an ICY EAST WIND blows in winter, and the only' way the soldiers can keep alive on their patrol is by the building of wood fires between the posts. Even then the patrols fre- quently have their limbs frozen in their monotonous marches to and fro. Hence it is not at all difficult to smuggle across the boundary, and, indeed, it is suspected that the soldiers often add to their small pay by snaking deals with the smugglers and turning their heads the other way when they pass by. Two very novel attempts were made last spring by the smuggling frater- nity, both of which proved successful. In one ease, late one night a band. of men in Germany began snowballing some villagers on Russian territory, and the Russians returned the attack. In the snowballs thrown from Ger- many, however, yards of fine Brussels lace were concealed. This method proved. most successful, for even the secret police clicl not discover it, and the guard. of the frontier certainly had no idea of what was teeingon. Quite as efficablous was the bringing of thou- sands of nihilise proclaraations through Silesia under the very eyes pf the gar- rison. These proclanaations were in the hollow staves carried:by a body of men who passed themselves off as pious pllgrims entering Russia on a sacred journey. THE CZARINA.

A despatch from London says :—The news that comes *from St. Petersburg, through channels that entitle it to full belief, gives a sad and startling turn to the recent pleasant gossip about the coming birth of an heir to the Imperial crown of Russia. The physicians of the palace, who have been in consulta- tion with gynaecological specialists, ad- vised the Czar that in the natural course of events neither the mother nor the child could survive. The frightfully grave operation of Caesarian section was therefore performed. The men of sci- ence are no longer able to cosgeal from the Imperial husband the immediate danger of the Czarina.

Capital Suggestion for Securing Instal - gran tit. ' "1 feel prouder of my country, I have more confidence in its capabilities, and X have DO doubt that in it few years there will be such an influx of popula- tion into Manitoba and the North-West as will InlVe a telling effect upon the larger cities of the Dominion." It was in this patriotic and hopeful strain that Mr. W. R. Brock of Toronto, who has just returned from a five weeks' trip to Manitoba and. 13ritish Colambia, other day "1 a press representative the "I will tell you what more than any- thing else prompted me to make the trip," eaid Mr. Broek. "Two years ago I was ascending the Nile, and. in the cabin of the steamer the conversation amongst my fellow -passengers, three Americans and two English gentlemen, turned upon the gra,ndeux of the Rockies, as compared with that of the mountains of Switzerland, There was a difference of opinion, and the point was referred to me for settlement. I was ashamed to have to confess that, although a Canadian and a resident of the Dominion, I had :lever been across the Rocky mountains. I believe there are thousands of Canadians who would have been obliged to have made a simi- lar confession, had they been placed in a similar position. They travel each year in other directions, unaware of the wonderful attractions of a journey to the Pacific coast." THE GREAT WEST. • "Now as to the trip itself there is much that one could dilate upon. Winnipeg, which 1 last visited five years ago, has decidedly. improved in appearance. On the occasion of my pre- vious visit many of the houses stood on. piles. The dwellings now going up, are all being built on stone founiations, and similar foundations are being placed under hundreds of existing struetures. This will result in inereasing very con- siderably the value of property. Very enany fine buildings are now in course of erection. At Portage la Prairie, I drove several miles across the plains. Here I had an opportunity of observing' the wonderful crap with which Mani- toba has this year been favoured. Many farmers whose yield. did not exceed 40 bushels to the acre felt that their crop was small compared. with others who harvested from 50 to 55 bushels. Then, too, I was struck with the abundance of cattle. During a journey of 1,500 miles across the splains we were hardly ever out of sight of them except at night, and without a single exception they were apparently in prime condition, and ready for the market." • AT VANCOUVER. "I shall not attempt to describe the scenery itt the mountains, which is wonderful, and simply baffles descrip- tion. I remained. fax a few daysat • Banff and at Glacier, and then, pro- ceeded to Vancouver. This city ap- peared to me like an immense over- grown giant, with its numerous mag- nificent buildings intersected by vacant spaces, but showingmuch progres- siveness. There, business is carried on on it large scale, and with every modern apphance. The city possesses first-class hotels, and large department- al stores. An immense influx of Ameri- cans passed througb the city avhile I was there, on their way to Cariboo and Koot- enay. I learned from experts—men who had spent a great portion of their lives in California and Australia—that the mines, particularly at Kootenay, (were turning out fax beyond the expectations of a year ago; that they had passed the experimental stage; and that many of them were now producing a large a- mount of gold in paying quantities. It was a matter of regret, however, to find that itt many cases the claims were being taken up by foreigners, but 1 did meet a few Canadia.ns who were going into the country with a view to obtain- ing a slaare of any kind of the good things that were to be had." •PRAISE FOR VICTORIA. "The city of Victoria is one of the meg beautiful cities on the Pacific coast bearing the appeaeance of great wealth and solid. comfort. It is adorn- ed with some of the finest residences I have ever seen, and on every side there are beautiful gardens and magnificent warehouses. Its Parliament buildings, outside of Ottawa, are the finest in the Dominion. They are now nearing com- pletion, and are a credit to the archi- tect, and, to the British Columbia Gov- ernment and people." , " What about the prospects of inter- provincial trade I" "They are very promising. Ontario raust ultimately get a large share of the trade of the Pacific Province, particularly in Canadian manufactured goods. As it is at present, large quantities of produce are being ship- ped from Manitoba to British Colum- bia, such, for instance, as Cheese, but- ter, and poultry. Large quantities of beef and mutton are also being sent in from Calgary. "I may saythat one thing which struck me during ray trip was the many farmers and merchants from Ontario whom 1 encountered." At nearly every station where I stopped I was accosted by some old friend or other, making me feel as much at home as I would have been on either King or Yonge streets, Toronto." HOW TO SECURE SETTLERS. "Have yelp come back prepared to make any suggestions that will tend to the development of immigration?" " I have ail Idea that I think might be turned to profitable account. It is one in which the Federal and 'Manitoba Governments, the Canadian Pacific railway, andthe steamship compa,niee should co-operate. Next season, prior to the harvest, let the farmers com- municate how many bands they will require. Then instead of bringing help from Ontario, whose people are already Wailer with the resources of the great West, let labourers be en- gaged in England and sent over. In order to do this let a cheap rate across, say of $20, and back of $25, be ktrant- ed. Then let a guarantee be given each man of employment for 30 days, or whatever period, is deemed micas - eery, at the rate of $2 it day, By this means he would be enabled to pay his fare over and. back, and have a little spare money left. There is no estima- ting the benefit that would result from the taidsionary efforts of several thou- sand practical, farm hands able to per- sonally testify to the marvels they have seen. I think that towards such a purpose the Dominion Government might very well give §160,000 and the Manitoba Cioveruraent §40,000," FARR IS .11011111) GUILTY, REMARKABLE AR$ON CASE ENDED AT WINNIPEG.
