(FUIUOelpfaU Telegraph, j

As stated above, the most terrible disaster to a British man-of-war on record was the sinking of the fioyal Geofge 111 years ago. The following description of that terrible disaster was written by a German naval officer many yean ago: “In the summer of 1782, the Royal George, a stately three-decker of eighty-four guns, after an absence of two years on a foreign station, cast anchor to Spithead roads. At the end of a week, which had been employed to removing all traces of her long voyage, and in a- thorough cleansing, the Captain issued invitations to the officers of the fleet in the Spithead waters, and to the sobility and gentry of Portsmouth, for a grand ball on board. The interior of the upper deck, freshly painted from stem to stern, and elegantly decorated, appeared

like a floating palace.

The appointed hoar for the comme&oement of the fete had arrived, and the harbor was gradually covered by hundreds of boats, some carrying the invited guesta to the Royal George, and others attracted by curiosity to witness the delicate homage which British naval officers are accustomed to bestow upon beauty. All that the most refined taste could suggest and the most lavish expenditure procure Bed been bestowed upon the embellishment of the vessel. The deck, whose entire space was appropriated to the ball, resembled a vast pillared hall, over which, frOm the masts and Yard, floated the intermingled folds of numberless flags and dreamers of erery variety and color. Instead of tapestry, the sides were covered with Velvets and ailk hangings. Among the furniture were to be seen the most precious ivory work, and divan* and ehairs of rose and sandal woods, carved and fashioned in a manner to rival the moot ingenious Chinese taste. The awning was composed of carpets of richest Oriental fabric,ornamented with gold and silver embroidery, and tne rugs before the state rooms were productions of Cachemere, which might have figured as articles of luxury in the wardrobe of prinoely dames. The sideboards glittered with gold and silver vessels, among which was a magnificent van, set with cosily jewels, the f^ift of an East India prince. Attar of roses in crystal jars, in niches expressly made, scattered in profusion its delicious perfume. In a Word, the whole scene, with }ts splendid decorations, resembled rather the banquetingroom of a royal palace than the interior of

a flagship.

BRILLIANT PREPARATIONS. -

After the Admiral had cast a last satisfied glance upon the tasteful embellishments, and passed in review the brilliant preparations, he repaired to the deck, where, in state and surrounded by his officers as a king by his nobles, he took his post to receive hit guests. While a select band of music filled the air with rfieiody, from every side there were seenglidingdYer the smooth waters toward the ship gaily dressed boats, bearing the elite of beauty and nbbility from Portsmouth, Portsea, the ftle of Wight and other neighboring points on the coast. The universal joy of the officers and guests were enhanced by the beauty of the night, not a cloud dimmed the radiance of the stars, and not a breath of air ruffled the surface of the sea. And yet destruction was maliciously hovering in this hour of festivity over the finest ship in the fleet. Already death sat invisibly grinning behind the seats of these pleasure-seeking guest Of mutiny there was no apprehension, l the whole crew were all true and loyal and warmly attached to the commanding officer; nor was there any possibility of a leak, as the utmost precautions had been adopted, and the powder magazine had been additionally secured by triple fastenings. Who could have believed tiiat the swelling of a gentle west wind would be sufficient to produce a catastrophe as unparalleled in its character a* in Its awful incidents? About two hours later, as the ball was in fall movement, there arose, not a light breeze, but rather a breath of air from the southwest, which hardly stirred a curl of hair among the crowd of dancing tunties. The oscillation which it brought as it stole across the motionless face of the water appears to have been unnoticed. But inscrutable fate! This insensible puff of air, not sufficient to draw a sound from the coriis of an teolian harp, by the unoer swell it created, disturbed the equilibrium of two immense chain anchors, which, with some heavy guns, had been stowed in the open ports^ and on account of the calm weaiher, had not been secured by fastenings. This ponderous mass, sta d from it* balance by the motion oftherca, ..nth lightning speed rolled to the opp< site side of tne vessel, and In a moment tnresr the Royal George upon her side. One heart-piercing cry of woe from a thouaaad voices—a sound before which the of utest sailor qnailed—rose in frightful dir otaance and broke upon the i tartled .»rg of those in tile surrounding slwjj*, while echo bore the death wail t6 the adjacent coasts, where it» rolled along like a thunder peal, deadening the rOar of the surf, and striking with terror the shuddering inhabitants. ^ •* BOWED TO THE tWRFACB OF THE SEA. The lofty masts immediately bowed to the surface of the sea, which at first, as it were, overawed by the sudden cessation of the prevailing joy, receded in a wide circle, and then as quickly returned, as if to the execution of a fearful judgment, pouring over the high bulwarks and through tfie port-holes into the innermost recesses. Once more the stately fabric, In all its imposing mass, upon the lestorafion for a moment of its lost balance through the settling water, rose erect, as if to display in full majesty the imposing grandeur of its form. Proudly stretched the lofty masts their extended arms to the blue sky; but the flags and streamers, already soaked by the overwhelming sea, hung in loose folds

like emblems of mourning.

Now, the ship, deeper and deeper sinking, began, in giddy whirls, a horrorstricken dance—a few seconds more, and it shot, with its hundreds of human beings, in vain, with deadly pallid and agonized countenances, imploring heaven for de

covers, or anything which only exposes one side. But for curtaibs, bund kerchiefs, shawls, etc., the double-faced embroidery is invariabfy used. A favorite method of this Persian worker is the introduction of texts or sentences upon the border or center of her pieces. The lettering is so quaint, angular, and disconnected that at the first look it seems like a geometric pattern. On one white linen table cover, heavily worked in flowers and foliage with gray silk, was a border of lettering wrought in gold thread. The characters were about four inches tall, and the sentiment they conjeyed, “God is great; God is good,” took up a very short space; but the text was reneated again and again. , THE 0R&AT FAIR.

The Paiwes In Use.

(New York Post;

The chief of the department of admissions at the World’s Fair, Horace Tucker, has made a computation of the number of passes in use. He estimates the whole number at 34,375, of which the newspapers have about

4,000. Following is his Bat:

Officials and employs* of Public Works Department 6,500 Concessionaire* and employes 10,500 Bute Boarfi officials and employes.........

They wiH be still further reduced in number and will soon comprise only those of persons who legitimately use them. An idea of the immense amount of business transacted within the gates can be gathered from the fact that there are approximately 12,000 exhibitors and their .employes daily engaged in their labors. One of the restaurant companies alone employs more than 3,000 persons; there are about 100 smaller restaurants; 1,000girls are engaged selling mineral water, and POO persons sell J — •- pass in

Polishing Diamonds.

[New York Font.)

Connected with this exhibit Tiffany & Co., of New York, have a plant for cleaving, cutting and polishing the stones. Here the rough and almost lusterless diamond is careiully examined; its grain, general shape, flaws if any, noted, and a decision made as to what form of cutting would bring out its greatest possibilities. Occasionally a stone is of such perfect form that it may be sent to the cutter at

once, but usually it is of i:

The stone to be treated is imbedded in a cement holder on the end of a stick; a slight incision is made in its surface by rubbing against it the sharp edge of another diamond similarly fastened in another stick; into the incision the blunt edge of a knife is inserted; a slight tap is given the back of the knife with a small steel bar, and the diamond is split in the direction desired. The new surface so exposed i» as smooth and true as if it were polished. This process is repeated until the , required form and

purity are attained. y " *'

The stone then goes to a cutter, who, placing it in a cement holder and employinf another sharp diamond as before, gives the gem its general shape, and cuts upon it the larger facets. Next it is takenln hand by the polisher, who grinds upon the stone the smaller facets and polishes it. To do this the stone is imbedded in a small copper cup filled with soft soMer, and pressed, at certain angles, dovu upon a very rapidly revolving iron disc, covered by a mixture of oil and diamond dust. Itis seldom thataper4on outside of the trade gets an opportunity of seeing these interesting operations, but here they may be watched step by step. During these various processes the stone has probably lost from 50 to 60 per cent, of its weight, but from being a dull and unattractive pebble, it becomes a brilliant gem

Torture Daxices. (New York Trtbune.j

Torture dances are occasionally given at the’Algerian Theater. The performers are men, and theuiidien-ie usually becomes entirely masculine after the first dance, for few women have the strength of nerves to remain and see the thing out. The dancers seem to be afflicted with epileptic fits at first Gradually they calm down and devote themselves to what impresses the audience as a series of novel and ingenious attempts at suicide. One man eats live coals, glassware and bits of. crockery; another pierces his tongue with a sharplypointed iron stick, while a third thrusts a sword into his body and seems to find the sensation delightful. Live scorpions form the principal article of diet indulged in by one performer; another dances with a wriggling adder attached to his nose by its fangs; still another makes a human pincushion of himself, with daggers for pins, and when he has planted enough knives in his flesh, he varies the monotony of the proceeding by dancing on red-hot iron plates with bare feet. When the performance is over you hurry out lor an ambulance, only to find on your return that the dancers are bowing gracefully to the audience and that they show no signs of the “torture” to which they have submitted themselves.
