iLtniinsier has been unmistakable.
To these legislative and administrative
triumphs has been added discreet and vigi
lant roanaK* ment of England * foreign re
lations. The fitheries treath has been the
most conspicuous diplomatic achievement
of Lord Srlisbury’s administration, but
there ishardlv a capital in Europe in
which the influence of the foreign otbee is
not now exerted more strongly and saga
ciously than it was in Lord Granville s
time. The Conservative government has
made a brilliant record in legislation, ad-
ministraction and foreign policy, but its
political failures have been dis
astrous. The country is gradu-
ally wiehdrawing support from
it. Its Irish policy has completed tiie
estrangement between five-sixths of the
constituencies of the island and the Union
ist allies. The Coercion Act has been vig
orously enforced; the National League
has been weakened by tht V'lticnn’s hos
tility to boycotting and the plan of cam
paign: and the old struggle of the Crown
agalust the Irish people has been continued
with a bold, aggressive front. But there
is no proof that ministers have done any
thing to reconcile the island to whnt it
justly considers an alien iaw administered
to »n alien government. The whole course
ol con-ervative administrator and legisja
tion antagonir.es the wishes, preju
dices and aspirations ■ of _ five out
of fix Irish representatives. The
ialaud is governed against the will of its
constitutional representatives, and nc
progress ia made in the direction of remov
ing the causes of alienation and estrange
ment. This is the government’* chief fail
ure; and it has been recognized by the
English and Scotch constituencies, which
dj-elwe a marked popular reaction in fa
vor of home rule. Englishmen ate be
ginning to understand that even with the
firmest and most inflexible administration
of coercion acts f. rce is not and. never can
he a remedy for Irish grievances.
The hazy Lite of Washington Clerks.
Correspondence St. Louis Republic.
The clerks have a lazy life here at Wash
ington compared with persons who perform
clerical service in commercial citin'. They
do hot go to work until U o’clock tn the
mosning and are oil' duty for the day at 4
p. m. They are paid more money than the
average one could possibly earn in any
other calling, and provisions and house
rent are almost as cheap a. they are in St.
Louis or any other large city. Young men
who desire to become lawyers or doctors
have a splendid chance here to attend tine
colleges and make a good living
while they are acquiring an educa
tion, if they cen get into the depart
ments. A large percentage of those
who come Here with such objects in view
become inert, however, fall into bad hab
its and are finally kicked out of office,
and then they go to the bad at a headlong
pace. They have too mucii loading time
and become demoralized. So-called fash
ionable society takes the ambition _ out of
many. They get into a whirl—it is.quite
easy to do so—and many of the better-look
ing ones vainly imagine they can marry
the ostensibly rich daughters of solid old
Congressmen, government officials or re
fined merchants or professional men who
bring their families to Washington. The
dear girls, as a rule, arc as sensible as they
are attractive, and the mercenary fortune-
hunter around the national capital is not
a howling success. The papas and mam
mas have a deal of good sense, and their
daughter usually humor the national
capital dudes only for a season and then
drop them, ane wind up by marrying men
who have proven then—lTf* capable of
battling with the world.
ANOTIIF.ll MAU-STON'K.
The Tradition ts It War Found In the Stom
ach of it ltnrren Doc.
From the Chicago Tribune.
William Burton, of No. 4204 Wentworth
avenue, has a mad-stone. The whole Bur
ton family speak of “The Rock” with a
keen sense of appreciation of its merits. It
would be entiled to respect if only for its
»ge. Mr. Burton is 70 years old, but re-
girds himself as a mere infant by enmpar-
i»n. His father had it before him, and
tradition has it that “The Rock” ha* been
"i the family a century or more.
“The Rock” is a mad-stone of great
fame. None of the family can tell how
they came to get it. Family tradition says
it was found in the stomach of a barren
doe. The stone ia far from imposing in
appearance, and‘was possibly created to
illustrate the pioverb, “Handsome is that
handsome does.” It is, however, peculiar,
even ii it is not imposing. It is perhaps
an inch in diameterand half an inch thick,
it strongly suggests bone, and is light in
color and weight. It is perforated with
“atural cirelar holes, eight or ten in num
ber. arranged in parallel rows.' These
holes are about a sixteenth of an inch in
diameter, are porous about the edge, and
extend tl- rough the stone within an eighth
of an inch. The circumference ia ragged,

The Central's Immigration Scheme.
From the Savannah Newn.
Mr. W. L. Glcnaner, who is the immi
gration cotnminaioner of the Centra^ Rail
road Company, expects to start on hia tour
through the North about the middle of
August. The car in which he is to make
the tour is very nearly finished, aud he is
busy collecting the exhibits 01 Georgia's
products and industries, with which the
car is to be filled. The exhibits will in
clude shout everything that is necessary to
show Northern people what crops are cul
tivated in Georgia and what the products
of her forests, mines and factories sre.
Mr. Ulemner is very enthusiastic over
his undertaking, and he will create some
thing of a sensation at the country fairs in
the Northern States. He will carry with
him pamphlets containing such informa
tion as those contemplating seeking homes
in the South desire, and these be will dis
tribute freely.
The Central railroad is entitled to great
credit for this effort to induce immigrants
to come to this Slate. It is the first time
any Southern rai'ruad haa undertaken
anything of the kind, and it will be gen
erally congratulated if ita enterprise is *p-
preciated as it deserves to he.
The kind of immigrants wanted in the
South will be reached by the method it
has adopted. It sends a messenger to the
very doors of those who are seeking new
homes and places information in their
hands which could not be obtained very
well any other way. The Northern far
mers know very little about lhe South anil
the advantages it holds ont to them, and
thev will study Mr. Ulcwncr’s pamphlets
an<( examine Ins exhibits with a great deal
of interest. Poubdes* many of them will
make up their minds to abandon th"
sterile soil and inhospitable climate of
their northern homes, and begin life anew
in the Empire State of the South. One of
the reasons whv more of them have not
settled in the South is the lack of informa
tion respecting the part of the South which
offers immigrants the greattst advantages.
With Mr. Glessner’s help, however, tiny
will see not only what Georgia produces,
but, also, what the chances are for making
s omething more than a living in this
B tate.

The superintendent of the De Beers
mine is Gardner F. Williams, ol Oakland,
Cal. He went to South Africa on his sec
ond trip in the-latter part of 1886. lie is
a regular correspondent if Geo. F. Ktinz,
Tiffany & Co.’s gem expert and mineralo
gist. A Times reporter talked wiih Mr.
Kunz last evening and obtained from him
Vrnie interesting facts about the De Beers
mines.
The mine covers 13} acres or 610 chains,
each 31 feet square, with a roadway of 15
feet between each claim. The mines were
originally work'd in individual claims,
3143 in number, each 31 fe.t square, with
a roadway 7} ftet wide between each pair
of claims. These small claims are now
consolidated into about ninety large com
panies and private firms, having n gross
capital of nearly $50,000,000. There are
four large mines all within a radius of
mile and a half. The cel-hrated Kimber
ly covers 7} acres. Thirty-three million
carols (over 6} tons) of diamonds have al
ready been taken out, valued in the rough
at £45,000.000, and, after cutting, at £90,-
000.000. The alisorption of the smuller by
the larger companies is constsnlly going
on, anil it is proposed to consolidate all
the companies into one. Ten thousand
natives, each receiving £1 a week, are em-
pioyed in the mines under the supervision
of 1200 European overseers. The enor
mous sum of over £1,1-00,000, is annually
pended for labor.
This mammoth investment ol European
capital would have been more profitable to
me shareholder were it not for the thiev-
uhness of the native diggers, who, insti
gated by the vicious whites that congregate
on the field, at one time stole and disposed
of from ore-fourth to one-fifth of the
entire yield. More improved methods of
surveillance, recently introduced, have di
minished this loss. None hut authorized
agents are permitted to purchase or possess
rough diamonds, and * Urge dttsetiv*
force is on the alert to prevent any infringe
ment of the rults. A record is now krpt of
every diamond found. The thieves nsve
lieen caught making chickens swallow dia
monds in the mine, nod a post mortem held
on one of the natives who died suddenly
revealed the fact that his de»lh was caused
by a sixty-carat diamond which he had
swallowed. ,
According to the latest official reports
there were employed in the De Beers min*
394 whites and'2,768 natives. Of the latter
300 were hired from the government at
cost of £58 j>er annum. Formerly the na
lives were allowed to leave the mines, but
owing to the fraudulent tralfio carried on,
2.300 of them were last year compounded.
They practically lived in the mines, ami
were better oil' than those who had their
freedom. The old system of open work-
irgs has been to u great extent aban
doned for the shaft and underground
plan. Under the original method the
excavations were carried on to r
depth ol 500 feet. There were many are i
dents owing to the falling shale or reef.
A rock shaft is completed to a depth of
841 fqct and taps low levels. During last
JCMF 07ct 21,621 feet of msin tunnel were
driven. There is one shaft of 791 feet, an
other of 477 feet, and n third of 125 feet.
As manr as eighteen tribes of natives have
been represented in the mines. Borne of
the natives have been known to tramp *
thousand miles to get work.
Last year 890,000 loads of “blue stuff"
were hauled out of the mines, and 860,906
l.isds > i-lilcd 979,732} carats of diamonds,
frr which the company received £984.086
I I- Oil. 'I he actual expenditure wa*£415,-
i88, leaving a profit ol £568,897. The De
Beers Mine i- capitalized at £2,500,620 in
ten-|MU ml ri. ires. These were quoted as high
ns £5) last month, and since then have
slnmi e<l i» £30, anil advanced agtiu 10
£39. It is the opinion of Mr. Kunz that
tl.e',recent accident will cause another de
cline in shares.
From Keptember 1,1882, to December 31
1887, the l)e Beers mine yielded 344015
carats, valued at £3,450,338, an average of
£1 }dperiarat. This includes everything
taken irom the miiie> Iu ibe Lrgiuuicg 0!:
the enterprise the mine produced 4 10 carat
per load, but last year the yield was 8-10
carat per load, a significant increase.
Water flows from the mine at the rate
of 6,600 gallons |*-r hour, and at the rate
ot 1,200 gallons per hour from the rock
shaft. There are nine big washing mi-
chines in use, which are more reliable
than the hand or eye. It i> so accurate
that a diamond the aize of a pin-head can
not escape.
