A Nevada Mt.ry ef , very Wenaer. *al Meric* or Incidents. j (Virginia (Her.) Enterprise.] j A few day* ago Mrs. Nora McShaua. I " ho fesides on the Ditide, near Hickey I street, received a letter and a news 7 , paper from lier husband, who is in the I diamond fields of south Africa. When | nearing home Mrs. McShane—who is | not able to road writing-conolnded to ! go on to the residence of a friend who generally reads for her the letters that come from her husband. While , standing and debating in hor mind | Tuition of going on at oncotohave her friend rend the letter, Mrs. McShane almost mechanically opened tho news paper to have a glanoo at it, she being able to spell ont print. As she opened the paper she thought she observed, as she says, "some bits o’dthirtor gravels" fall out of it, though she paid but little attention, thinking ut tho time it was some “achtnff that had worked into the paper on the road." When lior friend read the letter it was found that her husband— 1 “trusting to luck," os he said had sent in the newspaper os specimens no less than fifteen diamonds in the rough, ranging in value from 820 to 8120 each. Here was a go, as not a stone re mained in the paper. Howover, she remembered that when she opened the paper she wav in a walk—whore the snow wav off the ground—jnst opposite the residence of a neighbor,and accom panied by her friend she returned to the place. Not a diamond was to bo found, but Mrs. MoShane’* friend had observed a lot of chickens about the spot, and w ere confident they had found and swallowed tho glittering little stones. In a short time quite a crowd of moil and womon had collected about the spot—having boon told about the loss and, as tho place was a regular ernising ground for tho chickens in search of gravel while the ground was covered with snow in most places, it was tho general opinion that tho fowls had swallowed tho gems. The chickens belonged to the neigh bor in front of whose place the news paper had been opened, and this neigh bor eonld not bo expooted to sacrifice his whole flock—numbering thirty fowls —for nothing. As no ono could tell which particular chicken might have a dinmond in its crop, and which not, it would be necessary to sacrifice the whole lot. Tho owner disliked to lose his chickens, but finally said he would let them go, under the circumstances, at To cents each, cash down. Mrs. Mo- Sliano had no money, and knew not wliat to do. However, there was no time to lose, and aminorof n"sporting" turn, who happened to bo present, agreed to pay for all the chickens pro vided Mrs. MoShane would give him any stone he might pick out from among those that were recovered. Mrs. Mc Shane accepted the offer, with the pro viso that she was to have all tho chick ens that were killed. The fowls were enticed into their house and the heads cut off the whoie lot. The contents of their crops being carefully washed and examined, twelve of the gome were found. Generally they were worth from 830 to 850, but thoro wore three worth 8100 and over. One of these, a atone worth 8120, fell to tho share of tho speculative minor. Mrs. MoShane was helped out on her side by. dressing and selling the chickens at from TO cents to 81 each. A curious part of tiro story remains to bo toM, howevor. Besides the un cut diamonds found in the craws of tho fowls, there was taken from one a hand- some emerald that was perfectly cat. Mrs. McShano, of course, thought this stone had sIbo been sont by her hus band, though it was not mentioned in his letter. While this matter was being discussed, a lady living in the vioinity came up and at once claimed the emer ald. She said she lost it out of her ring tho day before. No ono know wlmt to >ay to this, as those present did not wish to dispute the point. Seeing how matters stood, tho lady ran off home, and presently returned with tho ring, into the setting of which her emerald fitted perfectly. On seeing this all agreed that the stone was the property of the lady. Davr Crockett. [Beni Perlay Poors, j David Crockett created quite a stir during the Jackson administration. He had served'under “Old’Hickory” in the Indian wan, and lie was ramous in Tennessee as a boar hunter, bnt in pol itics he was a Whig, and was made a great doal of by the eastern members of that party. He was neither gram matical nor graceful, bnt no rudeness ef language can disguise strong sense and shrewdness, and a “demonstration," as Bolwersays, “will force its way through all perversions of grammar." He was a true frontiersman, with a small dash of civilization, transplanted tothasoil of political life. Some on* undertook to publish his life, but he promptly de nied the authenticity of the work, and had a true memoir of himself written and published. His favorite saying was, “Be sara you’re right than go ahead." When Texas commenced its struggle for'independence, Crockett went there and was killed while gallantly fighting at San Antoine, Debexar.
