Facts ConcerningKubies.
Mr, kStreeter of London, the emi
nent jeweler,in a recent lecture be
fore ;i select audience, gave some
interesting particulars regarding
rubies. 1 lie stone is found in great
est perfection in Upper Burinah—
the country whence King Thebaw
WAS expelled some three years ago.
There is a place called the Yalley
of Kubie—a valley in which sap
phit- are also found—situated at
an < ‘vation of some 4,500 feet
above the level of the sea, amid a
mi :re of mountainous spurs about
eight v miles due north of the cap
ital. Vine. lay. The valley is ex
ceefii and ii nil to appr >ach, in
consequence of the peculiarly'
swanij y • ud malarious character
of the jungle, lying between
it and the capital, To approach
if a circuit of some two hun
dred miles roust be made; and
~ 'a lofthisi; wver mountain pass
os and through swampy ground.
In li.is valley, the true, rich car
mine precious stores—stones ‘‘of
j'ure't; rare serene’’—are to be
f-.iii and ia considerable abundance.
Mr, : ,"ec ier and others—a species
o''syndicate—have obtained from
the i 1 Government a seven
yea--' u c ; -ion of the ruby mines.

Badly in Debt.
The thirteen Southern states,in
cluding Kentucky and Missouri,
have funded debts aggregating
$95,858,043, besides an unfunded
debt amounting to $20,000,000
more. Of fhe southern stales. Ken
tuckv alone has a sinking fund,
and in her case it Nearly covers the
small debt of (lie stale, Three
quarters of the debt of Texas and
about the whole of the debt of Mis
sissippi’s are due to the school
funds of those states, so that the
debt is insignificant in each case.
In round figures, $ 119.000,000 is
the aggregate of the debts of the
southern states, including the un
funded debt. The remaining twen
ty-five states, comprising all those
ot the North, and Northwest and
the Pacific slope, owe less than
$45,000,000, funded and unfunded,
if the amounts in the several sink
ing funds are subtracted from the
nominal aggregate. It appears that
ten Southern states are loaded with
more than two-thirds of all [he
stale debts of [lie Union.
The Laughing Plant.
Palgrave,in his work on Central
and Eastern Arabia, mentions a
plant whose seeds produce effects
analogous to those of laughing gas.
The plant is a native of Arabia. A
dwarf variety is iound at K.-:sum,
and another variety at Oman,
which attains a 1- fight of from three
to four feet, with woody stems,
widespreading brandies, and light
green foliage. The ilovvrs are pro
duced in dusters and are yellow in
color. The seed pods contain two
or thro, black seeds of Ike size and
