THE LIME-KILN CLUB.
When the meeting hart b-en called j

. The meeting then adj turned.
A DIAMOND KING.
B I. Barnato, one of the wealthiest
diamond m tiers in the » odd. is a can
didate for Parliament frou\ Kimberly,
and is making a bitter personal fioht
for tl e office. At areccnt public meet
ing. in denying some statements made
against aim b the opposing party, Mr.
Raniatt>|€fated the history of his ca
rec-r in iflfYolony. It reads like a
page frouFtlie “Arabian Nights.” He
said that lie came to the colony in 1873,
and in 11J73, and in 1876 lie bought
thedirst claim in Kimberly, paying a
good p:&e for it. In 1881 lit* owned
four claims, which he floated into a
company for £25,000 a claim, making,
with the machinery, an aggregate of
£IIS,QfM. That was his first attempt
to put himself m a good financial p si
tion, and he succeeded. This was call
ed the Barnato Company. In 1884
he bought the Stewart ground, paying
the highest price ever given in Kimber
ley. Yet with that speculation alone
he made €20,000. After (lie company
passed out of his control, although the
at £25,000 each, the con
cern paid a dividend of 9 percent with
in three months, and did so at the ex
piration of each following quarter, ua-
II theiidaims at the end of nine months
represented a value of £33,000 each.
lu R e course of tirno the ground be
came ysovere I with reef, and a heavy
mining debt was saddled upon the cor
poration. Mr. Barnato loaned the
■he company) although,
Imitted, “had I put the
auction I could have
t an cßOimous profit,
}8 were at £l7; Kim
, with their claims valued
, were at £25, and I am
to myself. Bat did'"'
amalgamated with the Standard Mining
Company and brought the shares that
originally cost £SO, after four years’
work, up to £150.”
This will give you an idea of how
wealth can be amassed in the diamond
fields Now, let me, in concluding, re
peat Mr. Barnato’s own words regard
ing his present fortune. In the same
speech he said: ‘The exports of this
colony are 9,000,000 pounds. Of this
Kimberly exports one-half. Now my
opponents say that 1 am not a fit and
proper person to represent you in par
liament, but let me tell you that I rep
resent half the exports of this col my.
The diamond industry in this c>l ny is
a government within a government, and
if I an fit enough to sit on the Board
of the Consolidated Mines, as holding
one-eighth of the mining interests in
Griqualaml West, along which such
men as the Hon. C. J. Rhodes and the
representatives of tho historic house of
the Rotchchilds, surely I am quite good
enough to represent this constituency
of Kimberley ainTßeaconsfield.
You can estimate from Mr. Barnato’s
balding what Ills income must be. It
is only a question of time and the con
tinuance of the diamond yield when the
South African diamond kink will
eclipse iu wealth the Indian Maharajah
and the railroad monarch of America.

THE ARIZONA KICKER
lie in* I’ioim Hie <»luri
#ii» lVe«i,
W e extract tho following from the
last issue of the Arizona lviostir:
I’ook Shooting.—As we were re
turning to our office from the Widow
Smith’s ihe other evening (we have
been sparking the widow for several
weeks past), a d just as we c ine op-
I osite the old Indian fort, some per
son whose manners eeriainly neeil pol
ishing up, fired four bullets a us roin
a revolver The intern, no doubt, was
to kill us. It took us about the mil
ionth pan of a second to realize this
fact, and then we opened out for a run
an made good .-ur e-cape.
We don’t claim t < be gu-at shakes
ou shooting, but if we can’ hit the ed
itor ami p opriet c of a great and glow
ing nV.ekly at a distance of twenty feet
once in four shots, we will leave Ari
zona Wo don’t claim to be a Ches
terfield, but if our manners permitted
us,to hide away behind an old wall
and begin pojipiiig at a gentleman
«itnout warning, we’d expect to be
menti<med iu the same line with a hye
na.
Too Much Talk.—There is alto
gether too mud t Ik about that mis
take of our popular young druggist of
the Blue Front which sent t ’ol. Jim
Jackson to his grave. Cob Jim asked
for quinine and got strychnine by mis
take, but there are n goo i inanv re
deeming feature. ihe colonel wh* old,
lazy and drunk half his time, and left

gist is a young and energetic man, who
sold < m a coal-yard in Chicago to
come here and go into the drug busi
ness, mid it must be expected that he
will make a few mi-takes iu the go off.
We call attention to his liberal manner
of advertising in Tiik Kicki.u. He
has assured us that such a mistake can
not occur again, as he lias properly la
beled th • bottle*.
Anothkk Lie Naii.kh. Our es
teemed contemporary down the street
charges us this week with bulldozing
the busiue s men of this town into ad
vertising with us. \\ u nail th ■ state
ment as a lie. and every business mau
will nail it as a lie. Our methods of
securing'advertising have ul >ays been
perfectly,, legitim te. If a man who
fled fr iu Ohio to escape state prison
for arson opens a grocery here we drop
around for a friendly chut with him.
Then we set lo< th owr eirotyiT’ou and
influence, give him rates, and if he says
he doesn’t want to advertise that ends
it. While we advise all lo advertise,
we never bulldoze, as all can testify.
If bulldozing would secure advertising
the old clap-trap concern down the
street, covered with mortgages, would be
quite apt to try it.
Apoloobtical.—During our ab
sence last week an item crept into the
local column which stirred up consider
able feeling. It was in relation to the
death of Judge Handy, and the writer
of it supposing tiuth was demanded,
said the deceased was an old loafer,
bummer, drunkard and deadbeat, and
that he was found dead beside a jug of
whiskey. The friends of the deceased
are justly indignant at this expose, al
though they do not dispute the charge.
We are soriy that any thing of the sort
should happen, and are now prepar
ing an article for next week, in which
the judge is complimented for his so
briety and love of cold water —praised
for his honesty and integrity—compli
mented for his public charities, anti re
ferred to as one ol the most upright
men west of Chicago. While all know
better, and while, the whole thing
will be a falsehood, we shall be smooth
ing it over for his friends. Extra cop
ies, done up ready for mailing, ouly

and Murder.
The deeds of murder recently done
iu that noisome quarter of London call
ed Whitechapel, all, there is reason to
believe, the work of the same hand,
seem to have attracted the attention of
the neurologist as well as that of the
police. Y\ hat was the motive ? Most
jieople who have followed the history
of these crimes, coming as they have
one so quickly after another, have laid
it to this or that caase, or, at lea3t, i
would seem so from those tint have
been made public. Dr. Hammond,
well known in the department of neu
rology, says, in a recent paper, that no
distinct motive was necessary or, rather,
that it may have been a mere fancy or
freak, such as often . comes to those
u ith deranged or diseased minds, or ev
en for the mere love of pain and cruel
ty —a supposition which the hacking of
the body in each case would seem to
lead to. There have been nine victims
so far, all women, but in the once-cele
brated case of Ifelene Jegado there
were twenty-eight in three years, all
being killed by poison, and apparently
for the pare love of killing and witneß*
sing suffering,; in some cases the suffer
ing of t>n se who hail befriended her—•
masters, mistresses, friends, and several
nuus And all the while she affeted
an ardor of piety—awhile, in lend, an
inmate >f a convent. Our author de
clares tha a d.*B ; re “to kill exists, to a
greater or lesser extent, in the mind of
every human being without exception.”
Some love to kill game or the lower
animals, while others have an irresisti
ble desire to kill their fellows. Ihe
mildest m innored man, he says, has it
at times, when sufficient cause comes.
‘lt is inborn, instinctive, and no
amount of civilization or refinement is
sufficient to aholLli it altogether.” He
says that crimes are sometimes done by
those to whom the idea of violence is
repugnant, whose reason urges them
Hgainst their own acts, yet with not
enough strength to resist the impulse
Neither delusion nor emotional distur
bance need come At oee time he is
calm, at another excited, hut always
couseiou* of his acts Thu epileptic
may commit acts of violence while un
der tlu l influence <1 a paroxysm, uncon
scious at die time, though remembe ing
every little detail when 4is done; but
such cases us every neurologist sees, so
we are told, have at times an itching
for murder. One man, of amiable dis
position, asked to be locked up and neg
lected an extensive bm’’ness, for the
sudden impulse that n< ■ e to him to
commit murder. Out, w •< w-i- ontiu
ually battling against an bn pul e •> kill
his wife, cut off his own right arm. A
ymug man applied for medical relief
for cerebral hvporaemia, admitting that
with it had come a desire to kill a fel
low del k. So strong it was, indeed,
that whenever his back was turned, he
c< u d scarce iclrain from plunging a
Unite into him ; once offerin g a cup of
poison, and knocking it fiotn his hand
when he would put it to his lips. A
woman with an impulse to jump from
her window only escaped because, as
she was preparing m spring out. a mar
ket hoy slipped on the ice in t e street
an l tumbled about awkwardly, setting
the woman to laughing ami driving the
suicidal mod from her. .
Such moods, it s fins, may recur and
may not. A young man could not see
u line dress wit bout tl>e impulse to in
jure it; running into the nearest drug
store for vitriol, and before the mood
was gone, ruining over one hundred line
gowns. *
The “reasoning’.’ mania would seem,
from its description, to be one of the
most dangcrou , because attacking
.th se from whom acts of violence are
not to lie looked for. Oiie thus afflic
ted suddenly liiitls himself wi h a per
version oftne emonfrns,
of the will ; * knowing the impulse is a
dangerous one, the act it imposes an un
reasonable one.” But he must do it,
being seized with sanguinary fury.
Such persons as are unable :o control
their impulse to couimii crime our au
thor looks upon as in the same catego
ry with murderers and as meri'iiig the
same fate.
