Astor’s diamonds are worth. Mr. Evarts, who is inti mate with the Astor family, says the jewels cost eight hundred thousand dollars. Tim two stones which ■ hung tronr Mr*. Aetor’s ears cost $50,000 each. Her necklace was made ot five hundred stones that cost §1,960 each, and there you have $000,000 worth.

There were girls at the White House that eve ning io. muslin who looked a thous and times more beautiful lo the eye, yet ouc of the jewels Mrs. Astor wore would have purchased all ot their wardrobes. Mrs. Astor reminded us ol a magnificent old ruiu. -She may have been handsome once, but ihe powder cannot hide irtxises in her lace any more than range can bright en her complexion.

All this under tliu same small patch of sky. When Mrs. As'or got home—or rather when she got to the residence of Mr. Ban croft Davis, where she is a guest—she stripped herself of her diamonds, and they were locked in a safe which was constantly guarded by two policemen.

While the mo.-t extraordinary stories, evidently gro-s exaggerations, have been told of the youth culled Crich ton, there seems to be good reason to believe that there was, during the sixteenth century, an actual person of that name Aldus Minutius was ins • lisputably a witness of the Scotch man’s intellectual perthrmnnccs at Venice and Padua, and his “Patadoxa Ciceroni-” have been the base of the lives of the wonderful genius after ward written. But that Crichton had mastered, before lie bad reached sev enteen, the entire circles of sciences; that he could speak and write fluent ly and elegantly twelve languages ; that he eould draw, paint, siug, ride, fence, datu-e, play on all musical in struments to perfi ction, and that he possessed marvellous strength, grace, courage and beauty, as has been recorded, is too severe a tax upon the mosl credulous mind His biographies read like fairy tales, aud it is not strange, therefore, that many persons have come to believe him a pure invention He tv:is probably a ery clever u a 1, noted lor versatility; but that he should have accomplished more than any bundled men of liis time could have done, and have died at tweuty two, stimulates scepticism necessarily. His miraculous disputa tions and tiltings in Paris are, in all likelihood, purely fictitious, as are, in deed, most ot his more than mortal achievements A tueory of the En glish author menlioiiuj is that Crich ton was » mere name to which all the great expl* its of the century were ascribed, and that what fie is declared to have done was really done by a great many men.—Uoston Tran script.

As lung as honors count tor what tney do IU the lubber, a first-class player,*it is calculated, lias only tbe adv:iutage of one point in the game over ail indiffer ent player. Still, in spite of men grumbling about their luck, aud as suring everybody that they invariably lose* take a cycle of three years, and it will be louud that luck it very even iu its operations. I have seen men who have lost steadily throughout a whole year, yet iu the next year they have more than recovered their losses. I have seen a man lose thirteen rubbers running; yet, shortly after ward, I saw him win every night dur ing U whole week. No man who has made legitimate whist .the occupation of /lira life has ever come 10 much grief. The men who have been ‘‘broke” are those who play for points: they cannot afford, and who have not the thuds to stand a heavy run of bad. lock; or those who, not ROntfUl.wilh the points, het largely, backing tbeir luck when they win. aiid' plunging deeper and deeper to regain their leases when unfortunate. ’But legitimate wjiist—that i», whist at points that a man can afford to lose, and no pew—is the cheapest pleasure that can be indulged in.'
