sh'er of De Souza Cabral,
THE GREAT DIAMOND KING
of South America, and George Arthur
Throckmorton, anative of Kentucky.
United States of America, who, for
the past five veers, has been suecess-
fully engaged In railroading in this
country , with headquarters at Rio Ja
neiro. De Souza Cabral is principal
owner of nine of the richest diamond
aiines in South America, and from
them, in the aggregate, he derives an
annual income of not less than $20,
000.000. His interest in gold mines
probably amounts'to as; much more,
and I am cognizant of the fact that
last August he sold a one-tenth inter
est in the celebrated Bahia Mine of
which, until then, he had been the
sole proprietor for $3,500,000, gold.
His diamond interest in South Africa
and Siberia he lately estimated under
oath (in some legal proceedings before
court in Minas Geraes) at the enor
mous sum of $50,000,000! He has, be
side, a great penchant for real estate,
and I was but recently informed by
one of his agents, a "thoroughly trust
worthy man. that Cabral's rentals in
London and Glasgow alone yield over
150.000 annually. In 1S63 he pur
chased the potent of a machine for
making eyelets, from
a poor fellow
whom he found starving in a garret at
Maranham, for" such a bagatelle as
S1S3. To-day the machine is extensi
vely used all over the world, and Cab
ral draws $2,500 a day from this
souree alone. And then, there are
his sewing machine royalties that
yield him something over $5 000 a
day. The correctness of this last item
is vouehed for by a friend of mine,
who is the manager of the leading
sewing maehine company in Brazil.
Indeed, it is easy to tell what he is
interested in, but hard to think of
something, that is anything, in which
he is not. It would be a puzzle to
name a leading railroad in South
! America or England in which he has
not a Stake. TTa tlra Tn snmothinir

He was lately asked by an intimate
j friend, in my presence, if he had any
conception of the sum total of his pos
sessions. He thought for moment,
ana then quietly replied :
"I couid not swear that I was not
worth presuming that I could realize
on all my property $50,000,000,000."

not, and as I cast about for a begin

barrassed with the riches that wait to

per envelopes, they were sent to their
favored recipients each in a dainty
box of sandal wood. The boxes, 1,000
in number, were manufactured to or
der expressly for this wedding at Can
ton. Each one of them was furnish
ed with a lock and key of solid gold,
was exquisitely carved with Cupids,
and hearts, and other designs appro
priate to the occasion, and cost $150.

write, and I catch the delicate scent of: 2ot contenting himself with this dis

the tunes that were pricked on their:

for the nuptial night by a no less cele- j
brated musician than Liszt. He re-'
ceived a draft of $25,000 for his witch-

did not earn it? Certainly no one

boxes will be distributed on the mor- I

guests of this evening, as unique re-!
membrances of the wedding. Each !
one of them was imported from Paris, I
is in mosaic, and elaborately finished
in gold, silver, and a variety of pre-
cious stones. Two hundred boxes j
cost as many thousand dollars. The '
drawing-room in which the Kentuck-1
ian and his "dark Brazilian bride" j
were made one flesh, had one feature
in its adornment which elicited tbe !
most fervent expression of delight and ,
amazement from all who were present
I allude to the decorations of the four !
walls. They were one mass of full j
blown white camelias from floor to ,
ceilin, and a good sized diamond was i
inserted in the centre of each to oun-nino-lv
nounterfeit the dew drop. The
- r 7
w .rras simnlv ravishinc. "Words ;
and phrases," as Mr. Webster said of;
fllonuence. "may
be marshaled in ev-
ery way, but they cannot express it."
It3 every suggestion was sweetness.
and light and purity. It is estimated
that the adornment of this one room
called for an expenditure Jof not less
than
TEN snLLIONS OF DOLLARS.
No diamond was given the role of the
i dew drop mat was nut uuc, iuu pc-
fect "&s the bosomeof a star."
The entire distance from the Cabral j
mansion to the nearest railroad station ;
something less than a quarter cf a I
mile, was literally a way of flowers
not under foot, but in graceful arches
overhead. Thus, a long, snow-wnite !
bower, fashioned entirely of roses,
was the connecting link between the J
drawing-room and drawing-room car.
The demand made on Flora for the I
materials for the picturesque covered

But, after ten year- of unremitting

of the largest and purest diamonds in

inferior to the Pittgem. Taking these
to Amsterdam, he summoned tbe best

when Cabral stated the stupendous
sum he was willing to pay for the ful

considered, and consented to do its
best. It did its best for five years,
day and night, and the result was
that a week before the wedding the
diamonds, cut, carved, set on a gold
en string, and all ready to embrace
the snowy neck of the bride, were
placed in the hands of the jubilant
Cabral. I happened to be present
when Malia first was shown the neck
lace, a couple of days before she was
married. She wore a black silk at the

THRLLLENGaTRAGEDY.
A Parmer "Waylay ed by a CangofUnf
Hans, Robbed and.SUot.
From the Scran ton (Pa.) Republican.
A thrilling tragedy was enaeted in
the Notch shortly after ten o'clock on
Monday night, at a little distance
from Cusack's hotel, on the main road
leading to Newton township. A far
mer named Klein, who resides in
Newton, was returning to his home,
having disposed of a load of hay and
a load of potatoes. He had two teams
one of which he drove himself, wnile
his son, a boy of some twelve years of
age, drove the other. They had
passed Cusack's hotel, and were pro
ceeding leisurlj- along their way,
when a party of six men rushed out
of the woods and in the direction of
the horses' heads driven by Klein.
The farmer, seeing the movement,
whipped his horses, but they were
quickly caught by two of the desper
adoes, who brought them to a stand
still. Klein was then seized by the
other four ruffians, dragged out of his
wagon and thrown with full force
upon the road. His efforts to resist
his assailants were simply futile, and
only increased their vehemence. They
kicked him and struck him upon the
head with billies, while he struggled
desperately for life. At length, see
ing that he was to obtain no mercy
no chance of escape he cried out to
the murderers : "Oh, for God's sake,
spare my boy." This appeal was fol
lowed by the sharp report of a pistol,
l and in another instant a ball passed
through the old man's heart, and he
sank lifeless upon the road, which
was soon crioosoned with his life
blood. The fiends having accomplished
their murderous work, hastily robbed
their victim of his money and wateh, I
and decamped into the woode. All
this time the little boy was fairly eiec
trified with fear. He could neither
move nor speak for some time after
the ruffians fled, but remained like a
piece of marble sitting in the wagon.
In this condition he was discovered
abodt half an hour later by a young
farmer who happened to be returning
home from the city. The boy fairly
tremDled like an aspen at first, and
geemed as if he vould go into a fit.
Assistance was procured, and the bo-
dy of farmer Klein placed in the wa-
gon and carried home. The farming
i community of Newton has been pro -
. foundly touched by this terrible atroc-
ity, and we understand that no effort
or expense shall be spared to bring
the fiendish perpetrators of the crime
to justice.

SINGING IN TSE CSUBCHE5.
In our boyhood days when we went
to singing school, partly to learn
psalmody, butprincipally to gaze on
the pretty face of Mary Jane and go
home with herafter the exercises were
over, we were contend to furnish to
calismjo the churches for nothing.
to be invited to make one. of , the
choir.
In New York sacred music is quite

another thing. Singing in choirs is ' gerous classes to take possession of the
as mueh of a profession as sinking in j government of the city, and has done
operas in fsct.'the singers who de- j everything possible to check her
light the public in opera, week-day ' growth and limit her prosperity. The
nights, furnish the sacred music for i Legislature insteadtof selling or fill
the churches Sundays, and a verv i ing up the latteral canals, which aev-
pretty sum it costs a church to get
such music as it wants. The organist
for instance, in a reasonably plain
church gets $1,000 per annum, the
leader or manager gets as much more,
the soprano gets from $500 to $700, the
alto as much, and the tenor and basso
about the same, or generally a little
less. This makes the quartette. Then
comes a chorus of perhaps twenty
voices who are paid from $100 to $500
each, according to position, quality
and capacity.
These singers are almost without
exception professionals, who sing
praises to the Almighty without feel
ing, caring or knowing what they
sing theirl business . being purely
mercenary. This scale of priees ap
plies only to the moderately opulent
churches the great ones double or
treble these figures. In Trinity for
instance the music is quite as excel
lent in character as that of the oper
atic stage, and it attracts thousands of
people who go for that alone.
In many of the churches choirs of
bnvs are enmloved. It i2 all well. I
see no reason why the Evil One should
monopolize ail the good things of life.
Why should not sacred music be reu-
dered artistically, and why should not
the best musical talent be employed
to the service of the temple? It at
tracts people to places of worship, and
impresses them when they get there.
At least so say the clergymen, and
who should know if they don't?
Beecher's church has a superb organ-
1st. Zundel, and a choir who eimp1y.tbe imporWr of iilks and Mfl

does without a choir. The organ aud
a cornet-player lead the people. When
5,000 people in that immense audience
room raise their vole& together, the
effect is indescribably grand. And
speaking of
SCUSIC,
the theatres of the city bave for some
months been giving what in the bills
are called "Sacred Concerts," Sunday
nights. The value of the "Sacred
Concerts" mav be inferred from thef
following programme:

nights, under the name of sacred con-

quite a unmuning m tae evasion ot j
the law.
1 Finally the managers of the better
class of theatres entered their protest
j against it m conjunction with the
leading citizens, and a raid on the
j places was inaugurated. Last Sunday
night a number of them were closed,
but the majority of them went thro
with their performances.
THE SUNDAY (JTJBariON
is a very difficult one to manage here.
There is an immense German and
French population, who will not yield !
one iota of their notions on the sub-1 -i"?its l" u u uaPP-v ume 5""5
ject. Thev regard Sunday as a dav . jury in the main case. Where aaa
not only of rest, but recreation, and ! tweIve men be foand in Brooklyn

theiaammer,,and halls-in,the win-
rand in the evenings their thea-
resand. concerts. They cannot un
derstand whyr In a "free eoiintry.
! they should be debarred from doing as
they please on .any day in the week.
: o that they do notinterfere with oth-
ers. They want to observe the day
in this country as they observed it in
the land they come from, and they
make a vigorous Sght for it. It goes
into polities and has its effect upon all
the elections. The German of New
York knows of no question of public
policy that Is so important to him,
and his vote is influenced more by
this question than by any other. He
does not believe in religious observ
ances on Sunday, he has nosympatby
with the Puritan idea in short, he is
in antagonism vrith it all. And to
him it is a vital matter, and he fights
it in every possible way. It oounk
on election days, and from this time
out it will count more.
BUILDING AND REAL ESTATE.
The real estate people are disturbed.
Under the stimulus of the war and
war inflation, real estate went up fear
fully. Building lots in the vicinity
of the Park were a few years ago
counted fairly cheap at $20,000, and
$25,000 was not an unusual price.
They are not -so high now, indeed
they couldn't be sold to-day for the,
half of what Was'paid for them. They
lay dead property. There is no ne in j
building on them, Jfor there are a I
thousand or more empty houses above i
42d street, and three times that num-
ber below, not going lower down than ,
14th. I mentioned last week the fact
that there are thousand of empty
stores and offices This "condition of

whieh otherwise would find the city
by that channel, and her merchants
sit down on "natural advantages"
and allow cartmen, middlemen and
leeches generally, to suck the sub

In the meantime. Baltimore and
Boston are building elevators and
reaching their long railroad arms out

metropolis still more.
New, York is tbe great commercial
center of the continent, aad always
ought to be ; but there has got to be a
change of tactics r she will lose her
piece, sore.

JUDGING BY APPEARANCES.
When Maine was 3 district of Mas
sachusetts, Exekial Whitman was
chosen to represent the district in the
Massachusetts Legislature. He was
an eccentric man, and one of tbe best
lawyers of hfe time. He owned- a
farm, and did mueh work oa his land;
and when the time came for him to
set out for Boston, his best suit of
clothes was a gelt of homespun. His
wife objected to his going in that
garb, but he did not care. "I will
get a nice fashionable suit made as
soon as I reach Boston." he said.
Reaching his destination. Whit
man found rest at Doolitties Citv
Tavern. Let it be understood that
he was a graduate of Harvard, and at
this tavern he wai at home. As he
entered the parler of tbe house he
found several ladies aad gentlemen
assembled, and he heard a remark
from one of them. "Ah, here comes
a countryman of the real homespun
genus. Here's fun."
