Their Great Attraction's route When advertising agtmts do iDgenlounly deviee To puff the star or show they're with,
The most enormous lies. For the agent Is the man Who tells, I do suppose, Worse fibs than any one since An-
Amas turned up his to#i The diamondUiitfffoo* round, Tbo lady's borBe runs away, And the boys about the monkey's cage

All the crownud heads of Europe had Presented her with gems, With diamond earrings, broaches, riags,

'Twaain the merry summer time K. i?s Budge's agent good Wil'hpenin hand aoliicquized
In dejecto-l mood: "flow shall I give her a good send-off With a yaru folks arc unused to, A yaru that I can get into print
And whloh will bo reproduced,too? A runaway horse move* no one now. And even if you mox 'em "Vfr:th white-hot arowbars folks blase are
Hd the thing no longer knocks 'em: h. diamondirobbory is played— Who can bo Interested When the jewels always are found again
Aud the thief is never arrested? Lr.,, lie, how shall I lieIt should be easy enough— 8i hat. ilks won't pass the Item by tvt_ iug. Chat is only a pufT?"

lhi, agent went to Miss Budge** room, Hut as he reached the door lit was aware of a nolae in thero
Le ne'er had heard before, A i-fn-t of rasping, tearing sound And peeping in he was able To discern a stranger standing by
Wise Budgo's dressing tablo A stranger with a chisel in hand .dustrieusly applying Ilhusel'to open the jewel case
In which her diamonds were lying. The ngent was a stalwart man, A stal ivart man and tall, At.d through the key-hole he coul see i'hat the daring thief was small. Uo'al ho kickodin the chamber door
And on the robber sprang And got him down aud on the bell A iBtfty peal he rang, And he bade the bell-boy who appeared
An officer to fetch And to the officer's custody lie gave the struggling wrotoh.
V.
1 know that agent's heart was glad There was a diamond robbery Where it could not b^ saiathat there
Collusion was or jobbery. I For a real thief was taker who woald Plain t« all eyes and ears, tried and sentenced and sent up
For six or seven years. The Associated Press throughout The lan 1 the news would spread He would have the robber photographed
In his atripe3 of black and red, He would have the Indictment copied out AT'! duly certified, Au'.i all the facts "bout the case
Would publish far and wide, That folk might know the roboery It was an actual fact— That a re il thief went after her gems
And therefore she could act. VI.
A happy uian the agent was If ever one did live, Whcu he next morning went to court
Ills evidence to give. When he was put in the witness-box With uuctlon great he told Of the diamonds that weighed half pound
And were set in solid gold. lie read the interviews in which Were catalogued the gems, Tne diamond earrings, brooches, rings,
Bracelets and diadems, Which to Miss Catterina Budge Had Europe's mouarehs given In proof she was the brightest star
In the dramatic heaven. In homely pbrase he "slung himself," And when be had made an end Up rose a pettifogger who 3. .M urgiar till defend,
And to the magistrate observed In manaer bluat and ourt That lie would call a jewoller
In court a9 an expert For if as to the jewel's worth Tho agent swore a lie, "He probably had perjured himself
As to the burglary.
VII.
When the good agent heard this word tie weakened in a second. Ant! to the pettifogger then
He desperately oeckoned And with the lawyer he went »3lde And said, "Vindictive I ain't,
Eut for your client'-, family'ssake 1 will withdraw my 'plaint. Weil, since you wish it, I'll pay the costs,
And your fee I will pay down." But the pettifogger steraly wtaked And answered with a frown, "Thoa must ante up to this gooi young man
Illegally arrested, Or I'll put the jeweler in th" box And have the diamonds t^ted, That men may see an they be gauds
That haughty sovereigns wore Or merely imitation frauds Bought at a hardware store'.''
vnr.'
To the lawyer's pocket flip hundred Of the agent's dollars h?ve gene The Justice makes announcement
That the charge has been withdrawn The paragriphtrs make merry, Ye readily may judge, With this daring attempt on tha diamonds
Of Miss Catterina Budge, And wherever the agent wanders. Upon the face of the earth, Folk put .he tongue of mockery
Into the cheek of mirth, And of the jewel robbery They entertain no doubt That the whole affair was a rut-up jab
Bungled in the carrying-out! Brooklyn, Jnne, 1879.
PERSONAL.
Hawthorne did not intend that his Note 0ooks should be published, and thf*y probablv would not have been printed had the fortunes of the family pern.itted the luxury of keeping them locked up. The books, however, were a disappointment, returniug but a small income.
Concerning William Gilmore Simms's facility in composition, the late James Harper is quoted as telliug this anecdote: The Harpers were preparing the "Partisan" for the press, when Mr. Simms came in one day to say that he was about to leave the city for a week. The publishers told him that the "copy" was exhausted, and unless he could give them more before he left they would be forced to pause in their work until he returned.
Thrt won't do," he said. "Give me pen. ink and paper: I'll go upstairs and find a place to write." Off he went, and in less than an hour came down with more manuscript than they required during his absence.—[N. Y. Tribune.
The late Baron Lionel de Rothschild, the head of the English house of Rothschilds, was a man most generous in giving. Enormous as his income was, it is said that more than a tithe of it was applied in charitable works. He never proclaimed his charities, however, and often made it a condition of a gift that it shou'd not be published. Bound to his seat as he was by physical suffering, which made his manner varying and sometimes harsh, so that the temper of Baron Rothschild grew to be something watched like the weather for its influences on the Stock Exchange, he found his relaxation in giving, and his eyes glistened when he heard that his alms or his influence had been bentflcially bestowed.
Ex-Governor Dingley, of Maine, who has just returned trom abroad, says tha* fohn Bright declared to him that "America is bound to be the country of the future." Mr. Dingley adds that it is surprising to listen to the favorable comments upon America which arc now heard in Europe. Not many years ago our country was spoken of slightingly and even with derision. All this has changed. An American hears his country spoken of with approbation and even eulogy. Americans are treated with respect and courtesy that is shown to few foreigners. Everywhere he went nearly every railroad car, in hotels, on the streets, he heard a discussion ot tht prosperity of America, with such re marks as Jhese: "What a wondeaful country." "How rapidly America is developing."—[N. Y. Tribune.
Mademoiselle Sarah Bernhardt wears in her studio an actual male dress trousers and pea-jacket of silk. On her teet, however, are the prettiest of satin slippers, and her soft hair fringes her forehead in the most feminine way. It is said, indeed, that she wears this dress without any loss of womanly grace. She is much amused by the various newspaper reports of her eccentricities. "No I do not sleep in a coffin," she said not long ago. "I did so once to familiarize myself with the idea of death, but now find it is not so comfortable as a bed. It is curious how many idle stories there are about me. My favorite dishes, I hear, are burnt cats, lizards' tails, and peacocks' brains sauties au beurre de singe. I like to play at croquet with skulls, although I have .here the skull of a man who destroyed himself on ac count of a disappointment in love. You ask me what my theory of life is it is representented by the word 'will,' just as my theory of art is represented by the word 'nature.' 'Quand meme.' you know, is my device."
GENERAL NOTES.
An Irish woman attempted to steal fish at the Brown street market, Phila delphia, last Saturday. Unobserved, she walked back of the stand, where a large tub, covered over with canvas, attracted her attention. Cautiously lifting the cover, so as not to make any noise, she ran her hand into the tub. The tub con tained several snapping turtles, and one caught hold of her fingers. "Och! mister" may God bless you take the crathur off do, please," was her pleading remark to the owner of the "snappers." It was found necessary to kill the turtle before her fingers could be liberated.
Heavy are the dews in the "onion fields of the Stotenbery farm, 6ix miles north of Davenport, Iowa. Joachim Brockmahn, who labored in those fields, fell in love with the farmers daughter, and she would not encourage him. One afternoon last week he approached her in the garden and asked her to give him a flower. She said she would do no such thing. After she had gone into the house, her father went out and asked him what he wanted. Joachim said he wanted to rest awhile. The farmer advised him to go and rest somewhere else. Joachim glanced uneasily at the onion fields and then shot himself with a revolver. Within ten minutes he had gone to re6t—somewhere else.

HOT SPRINGS.
Hautean
Some Aecount of the Place and People.
Hot Springs, June 19, xS^Q-
To the Elitor of the GAZETTE: Believing that a description of this place will interest some of your readers, and being desirous of killing time and ot being in communication with Terre Haute's citizens, I write these lines.
Hot Springs ia the county seat of Garland County Arkansas, and contains about 5,000 inhabitants. The average number of visitors here is about 2,000. from 25 to 30 leaving and arriving daily. There is nothing attractive in or about this city except the "Mot Springs," from which it takes its name.
The country in and about here is barren hardly anything will vegetate. The business here is done mainly 011 the street called Valley street. It is located between the principal mountains, and was not laid out by a surveyor, but remains as nature has placed it. On the western slope of the mountains on the east side of the street are located the celebrated springs, 57 in number, which, in the aggregate, discharge about 340 gallons of water per minute, ranging from 95 to 156 degrees Farenheit., To give an idea of the heat may be proper to state that an egg placed in this water will be boild thoroughly in from eight to 10 minutes. There are five bathing houses here the price charged is $5 for course of baths 1). This is exclusive of attendance.
For the information of those desiring to come here, I will state a few facts worth remembering: There are any number of sharks here, who are ever ready to take advantage of the invalids who are forced to come here. The raiload leading to this place is infested with this gentry, who prafess to be visitors themselves, but will tell you that they are acquainted and will (if you permit them) '"steer" you to a hotel. Once there the proprietor or clerk or some one in their employ will take you in hand, and before you know it, you will have employed 6ome person styling himself a physieian or surgeon, but who in fact is a quack of the lowest order. This pretended doctor will demand a fee of say $50 or $100, according to your means (as ascertained by the shark), and divide the proceeds with the "drummer." The city authorities backed by reputable physicians are doing all in their power to top this practice, The only salety, however, is to obtain at home, the name of some physician, and to see him on ar rival. To ascertain whether your physician belongs to the one class or the other, you will only have to consult him once, if he demands the whole fee in advance, you may sately determine that he is a quack, and is afraid that you will dis cover the factf and leave hirti:
I do not agree with Mr. Harding of the Indianapolis Herald, who wrote to his paper from here, that everything can be purchased here as cheaply as at home. Persous desiring to Come here should bring an entire bathing outfit. About the only things that can be purchased at the same price as at home, as tar as I have discovered, are postage stamps and postal cards. Visitors need not bring them.
The houses here are queerly constructed hardly any are plastered, and all of them are frame buildings. This is so from the fact that the general government /vns all of tbe ground here, it being within a reservation two miles square. It has been determined, however, to sell all the land west of Valley street, and to compel a removal of all squatters east of said street. The removal of houses has begun, and it is believed that the city will now be improved. The land will be sold to the squatters- who have the oldest claims, their rights being determined by a board of commissioners appointed by the government, and who reside here: Their decision has heretofore led to difficulties. A company ot regulars are stationed within the reservation, and there is a guard at the commissioner's office every night, because of a rumor that threats of incendiariftm have been made. The government does now, and will continue to own the springs they are rented to the proprietors of the bathing establishments at an annual rental of $15 per tub.
It is rather lonesome here now there have been a number of Terre Hauteans here this year, among whom are Messrs. Royce, ]. M. Allen, T. P. Murray, S. C. Davis and Charley Simpson. Mr. Fasie. who is improving slowly, is the only one here BOW except your correspondent, who expects to be home soon.
I know of nething else which might be of interest to your readers except to fay that among the late arrivals are the Hon. Thos. A. Hendricks and wife, of Indianapolis. ROCKY VALLEY.
Th« Stomach Cannot be Freighted With greater trash than a violent drasoic purgative. True, such a medicine relieves constipation for the time, but at the exuen6e of great injury to the intestinal canal, which it both i..fiame8 and weakens, thus unfltting it for the performance of its proper functlo 11. Widely different is the action of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a tonic aperient which produces effects, prompt, indeed, but never violent and convulsing. The purit of its botanic ingredients, its unsbjectlonal flaror, its genial influence upon the mind, and the thonuffhness its remedial action in cases of constipation, liver complaint and dyspepsia, combine to render it a most desirable family specific. It increases both physical vigor and substance, tranquilizer and invigorates the nervous system, and gives ait unwonted relish tor the food. A wineglass three times daily is about the average fose.
A pretty little domestic scene is described in the local columns of the Utica Herald. One of the matron# of Rome has a talent for wax works. Her husband boasted that he could invariably tell at a glance that her work was artificial. She remembered his partiality for a ''.boiled dinner," and determined to make one in wax. The vegetables and meat were made and set before him at dinner and with keen relish he struck out for the platter before him. Lol 'twas a lalse dinner. He frankly acknowledged that he was duped, and with admirable docility handed his pocket-book to his wife.
