gvmax was wholly Unconscious of the

DIAMONDS
Tho diamond is the most beautfful
and valuable ot all minerals, and
ranks first in the mineral kingdom
As a gem, owing to its rnrily and re
fractive pdwer* it i» mf'St bigbly
prized. Its colors are various.—
Tlx* most frequent are white and
grey; the, rarest colors are blue,
browii; , pink, and yellow, \ellow
diamonds, when perfectly clear, are
very beautiful, and highly valued by
jewellers. White or colorless dia
monds the oio8l used by them.
A diamond, to be. valuable, must
be dear. Smoky, or semi-transpa
rent diamonds, which arc very com
mon, arc of no more value than or
dinary crystals If a diamond be
perfectly pure & transparent it is said

At one time nearly sixty ,limns ud
peisons, il is said, were cinpl yed at
the mine of Colore in searching for
diamonds.
The largest diamond hitherto dis
covered is now in tile possession of
the rajah of Malian, in the island of
B rneo. It v as found about eighty
ye H s since, and is described as hav
ing the shape and size* of a lien’s egg.
Some years ago the governor of Ba
tavia i (fered for it ore hundred & ltf¥T
thousand dollars, & two brigs of war,
but it was refused on the ground that
il possessed miraculous powers, and
was connected with the fate of hia
family. j
The next large diamond of which
we have any account is in ihe *cep«
ire of the emperor of Russia It
was one of the eves of Brnhmtnb’oe*
id<*l, and was stolen bv a French solp
dter and sold for u mere triile. Af*
