Bathurst One November evening a British envoy, returning home from Vienna, took his way through a Prussian for- est. He was never seen again. That The other day in that forest a skeleton was found which is supposed to be that of the missing man. He was Mr. Benjamin Bathurst, a son of Dr. Bathurst, Bish- op of Norwich, 1806-37, and he was in 1809 envoy to the Court of Vienna, and had been following the campaign between the Austrians and French. He seems to have been incomprehen- sibly afraid of falling into the hands of the French, and as soon as the treaty between Napoleon and Austria was signed he fled from Vienna, mak- ing for Hamburg, whence he intended he had arrived at Berlin, spent sev- journey, in the slow lashion of the times, by coach. With him traveled his secretary and a confidential ser- On thh 25th inst. he arrived at Kletsche, the last posting station before Perleberg, which is to-day a railway station between Magdeberg and Berlin. Here, when asked for he was a Berlin merchant named Koch. While awaiting a relay of horses, he put a number of questions to the postmaster concerning the safe- He seemed altogether to be in a very nervous condition. Tijose in the post ing house saw Bathurst pull a pair of pistols out of his pocket and watched him adjust and readjust the trigger continually. He was warned twice that the horses were ready, but he seemed lost in terrified, conjectures, Finally, on be- horses began froin the moment they were harnessed, he made a start. At half-past five he arrived at Per- leberg, and Hers he left- his" carriage and insisted on being conducted to the house of the governor of the dis- with much anxiety about the security of the roads, begging to be told the shortest route, saying he had a ter rible fear of French patrols and cus toms officers, who had twice already tried to peison him. The governor recognized that Bathurst was suffer. ng from dementia, apd did his best ,- reassure him. The British envoy left and started for the posting house Two girls living next door to the post ing house watched him pass their window, but nothing more was ever seen of Mr. Bathurst. The next day the divlomatist's cloak was found hid- den under a pile of wood in the post ing house, and a fortnight later his riding breeches were found by two women gathering dead leaves in the forest of Quitznow, close to Perleberg. The prevailing idea was that Bathursf had been assassinated by French sol diers, who were after his despatches. His wife appealed to the Emperor Napoleon to give her every facility to seek her husband, and this was done, all the resources of the country being at her disposal. The hat of the lost diplomatist was found on the edge of the River Stepnitz, and this was con- sequently dragged for his body, but in vain. Recently some wood Bete 8 fn the forest of Quitznow discovered e skeleton in a good state of preser: Bathurst's riding breeches were found. The bones are thought to be those of Adam's Polite. Act.

As you stand by the side of one of the tables and watch, you see the lit tle throbbing shallow. stream carrying down bits of iron.-pyrites and other | matter, which slide or roll into a re- | ceptacle at the bottom of the table. | The tables are covered with a coating | of grease, but it does not seem able, as a rule, to hold these against the slight force of the water. Suddenly a little whitish object drops upon the top of the table with the rest of the handful, turns over, and sticks, the water running aroynd it but failing to dislodge it. You look closely and see that it is a diamond--a clean, "regularly shap- ed, eight-sided figure, with one flat side lying against the slope.

But the stones are often irregular, or small or colored, and then the work requires the skill of an expert; and even an expert's eye is apt to get tired and overlook some of the stones.--Sir Mortimer Durand, in Blackwood's Magazine. Lost--£100. Years ago when the electric tele- graph was a new idea and a mystery to the masses, there came trouble one Saturday night in the Bank of Eng- land. ¢ business of the day had closed, and the balance was not right. There was a deficit of just one hun- dred pounds. It was mot the money, but the error, that must be found. For the officials and clerks there could be no sleep until the mystery had been cleared up. Al that night, and all | Sunday, a force of mien were busy. The money was surely gone from the vdults, but no, one could discover whence. On the following morning a clerk suggested that the mistake might have occurred in packing, for the West In- dies, some boxes of specie that had been sent to Southampton for ship- ment. His chief acted on the sug gestion. Here was an opportunity to test the powers of the telegraph-- lightning against steam, and steam with forty-eight hours the start. Very soon the telegraph asked a man in Southampton, "Has the ship Mercator sailed #"' The answer came weighing anchor." "Stop her in the Queen's name," flashed back the telegraph. ""'Bhe is stopped.' was returned. "Have on deck certain boxes (marks given), weigh them carefully and let me Know the result," tele- graphed the chief. This order was obeyed, and one box was found to be somewhere about one pound and ten ounces heavier than its mates--just the weight of the missing sovereigns. "All right. Let the ship go)" was the next order. he West India house was debited with the one hundred pounds, and the Bank of England was at peace again. back, "Just Progress of Johannesburg.
