Stones in Africa.
roometer stands at perhaps 100° Fahrenheit
in the shade. Few diamonds however,
have ever been found in the searching
houses, but, of course, the search acts as a
preventive against dishonesty.
TIIE DIAMOND TRADE ACT.
The principal points in the Diamond
Trade Art of I -so ;m . :
1. That it shall not be lawful for am
person to have in his possession any rough
or uncut diamond, without being able to
legally account for it. Penalty, fifteen
j ears, hard labor.
2. None but licensed persons can export
or import diamonds.
3. That the chief of the detective depart
ment or polio. can stop any package in
the post office supposed to contain dia
monds illegally.
4. That diamond cutters must be licens
ed.
5. That special permits most be obtained
for washing debris.
6. That every person is required by law
to keep a register ttnd to forward it month
ly for examination to the chief of the de
tective department.
7. And that a registration fee of J per
cent, be levied on all exported diamonds.
Astonishing ingenuity in trying to run
illicit diamonds out of the territory has
been displayed at all times. The I. D. B.
fraternity have not been lacking in de
vices. The book post conveyed many a
parcel. A large hole was cut in the pages
of some novel or ready reckoner and the
space filled with diamonds, carefully
packed. The parcel, beiig properly wrap
ped and posted, attracted no attention
from the postal authorities.
Kaffirs were employed as runners at
night, in the day white horsemen, nick
named “troopers,” were paid to face the
risks, the diamonds they carried being
wrapped in lead, so that they could be
dropped in the grass if danger loomed in
the distance, and then recovered again at
leisure. Others, of this ilk again, having
swallowed the precious stones, ran the
’ gauntlet safely, in open defiance of the de

In 1867 a Dutch farmer, Schalk van
N'iekerk, who resided at Hope Town, South
Africa, observed somo neighboring children
playing with a remarkably brilliant peb
ble of which the mistress of the house,
without more ado, made him a present at
hia request. A trader named O’Reilly, to
whom it was shown, thought it might
prove to be a diamond, and had it tested at
Cape Town by the French consul. It
proved to be a real diamond, weighing 21
carats, and was sold to the governor, Sir
p £. Wodelhouse, for £600. The country
was startled by the announcement. Search
was commenced in Hope Town division
an! a second diamond was found; then a
thud was picked up on the banks of the
Vaal river.
Numbers of isolated gems were found in
1868 and 1869, and during the latter year
the “Star of South Africa” was bought
from the Kaffir chief, Schonell; this gem
weighed 83J carets, and was of first water.
It was for a considerable time in the pos
session of a Kaffir witch-doctor, and was
used in his incantations and mystic rites.
Avarice, at length, conquered supersti-
,«nd it was sold to Mr. Van Niekerk,
who disposed of it for £ll,000-nbout$54,- gauntlet sately, m open aeuanco oi me ac-
m These diamond finds soon brought a techves. with the diamond in their.stom
great rush of people to the district; and in
1872 the dry-diggers at Kimberly were
found to beexceedirgly rich.
J n the river diggings the diamonds are
found imbedded in huge boulders, which
have to be broken up, then gravel carted
down the river and washed in a cradle or
in tubs. In the dry diggings a lime-like
substance of a reddish green, termed tho
“blue,” is dug out, and tbiB is sifted
through a double scries of coarse and fine
mesh wire. That which is retained on the
lower fine sieve is alone valuable and its
contents are carefully examined for the
gems.
The diamond mines at Kimberly, 600
miles from Capo Town, are by far the
richest in tho world. The value of the
four principal mines, Kimberly, Old De
Beer’s, Da Toit’s Pan aud Bonfonlein, is a
total of about $9,900,000, with an -annual
yield of diamonds valued at $15,000,000.
The Kimberly diamond mine is the lar
gest. The working places of this mine
were, during 1882, on an average c>f 340
feet below the surface and two miles in
circumference. The diamondiferous ground
in some portions is worth 525 for a load of
lixteen cubic feet, but the average isabout
$."> per load for tho whole mine. The
“blue" ground of the Kimberly mine
yields a* out one and one-fifth carats per
load of sixteen cubic feet.
Some 1,666 pounds of diamonds, equal
to 2,602,880 carats, were transmitted
through the Kimberly poBt-otfico in 1882,
2,240 carats being allowed for a poun
weight.
SOME TRICKS OF DIAMOND 8TESLERS.
The Cape Town convict station, which
has upward of 1,000 inmates, is situated
on the elevated ground off the docks and
just alsivB the new dry dock. The large
majority of the convicts are negroes, but
arnoog the number are always to be found
several hundred whites, for the most part
convicted of illicit diamond dealing. They
are known as “I. D. B." convicts. All,
without distinction, are employed in the
construction oi the harbor works—docks
and breakwater—guarded by special offi-
csrs armed with Snyder rifles, with or
ders to shoot any man who attempts to

i goes every year to England.”
“You were born in England, were you
not?”
“Yes, at nam, in 1867. But I was taken
France when I was three years old.
After that I was educated at the Stanislas
College, in Paris, just like any other
French boy, but with the great love far
America and things American which my
father had taught me.”
“Would your family be glad to return
France?”
“More than glad, of course. It is not
ileasant, loving France as they do, to live
- a foreign land.”
‘Ho you believe in a monarchical restor
ation ?’’
“We hope,” said fhe Prince.
“How long do you think the republic
will endure?”
“I caunot say; I can only hope. Besides,
have been long away from France and
far out of the reach of newspapers. 1
hardly know what shape events are tak-
*And Boulanger—what will he the end
of him?”
“He has been a candidate at Ardcche
and failed. He will be a candidate in the
lord and fail. He will be a candidate at
Amiens and fail. Then he will be snuffed
out. Bonsoir, M. Boulanger."
“Did not Louis Napoleon have similar
failures?”
“Hedid. I do not deny the analogy. It
escape.
When the diamond mines of Booth
Africa, especially those at Kimberly, got
into full work, diamond diggers soon found
out that they were temg robbed to an
enormous extent. White men were found
only too ready to receive the stolen dia
monds from the thieves, who were at first
almost exclusively natives.
The native laborer at the present time,
through contaminating influences, has be
come an adept, and will steal with an
adroitness whicu almost defies detection.
He uses his nose, mouth, stomach, ears,
toes and hair to conceal tho diamonds that
he steals, and, unices restricted to the
compound, walks home at nightfall from
the mine or from the sorting table staging
with an air of abandon which would “de
ceive the very elect," the diamond being
all the while on his person. Again, if
working on the depositing floors, where
the blue ground which contains the dia
monds is exposed to the action of the at
mosphere, a diamond should happen to be
turned up which it could be seen at a
S ince that it was too large, or which
ere was no opportunity to secrete, the
wily savage would cover it up nonchalant-
■7. but at the same time would arrange
toe lumps of “blue” around in such a man
ner that when night came and he returned
he could easily find the spot and secure
the precious stouo for himself.
Hometimes in mining where they were
working deep another dodge would be re
sorted to. Suddenly, at a given signal, the
whole gang working in one of the claims
would, yelfoutand jump af if the reef sur
rounding were falling. The overseer in
charge would instinctively look up, while
the boy who had given the false alarm
would coolly stoop down and pocket some
I,r E* diamond which he had jaot un
earthed.
Many a beautiful diamond, too, has. fre
quently been recovered from a native’s
P'P®, which was diligently being pulled
*uli all the air of innocence, and I have

were thus carried into the “veldt” beyond

work being over) without any danger
whatever of discovery. ,
. Generally speaking the system of search
ing the native is as follows: On arriving
»t the searching house they are compelled
to divest themselves of theirordinsrv garb

•nt duty for the sesreher when the ther-
achs. Horses were fed with balls of meal
containing diamonds, and driven across
the border, when, in course of nature, the
diamonds were restored to the hands of
their keepers. Dogs, too, were starved
until they bolted lumps of meat in which
diamonds were imbedded. The value of
these poor brutes not being great enough
to save their lives their stomachs were
soon ripped open on their arrival at Free
Town, nvt r the border.
The tails of oxen and the wings of fowls
were often utilized, passing the border un
suspected and unexaminca, while carrier
pigeons, instead of carrying valuable infor
mation, were used to transport valuable
diamonds to Free Town, in the Orange Free
State. One personage by the name of Phil
lips showed great cleverness, but was after
all unsuccessful. He had the heels of his
boots made hollow and filled up with
rough diamonds, sealing them down with
wax. The handles of his trunk were also
made to remove, empty spaces behind
being constructed .for the same purpose.
In fact, the man thought himself safe
enough. Tho detective department, how
ever, suspected him, and failing in all
eflorts to trap him, engaged a man to form
a pseudo friendship with him, or, in other
words to play the part of a Judas.
Sham diamonds have always figured
largely at the fields. They were first
brought out from Europe in all sizes,
shapes and colors, but now I am told the
detective department know of at least four
individuals on the fields who are engaged
in the manufacture of these spurious
stones.
Fluoric acid is employed, as I was told,
to partially dissolve the glass in which
these are made into the shape required.
As a matter of course, the sale of these
sham slum:*, when effected in the mining
region, is bushed up.
The arts and sciences have also, been
brought into play by both legal and illegal
sellers. As far (Jack as 1872 it was discov

“There isn’t a man in Washington who
puts in more hours of close, hard work
daily than the President," said a person
who is at the White House a good deal, to
the Waterbury American correspondent
the other evening. “It is a wonder to me
how Mr. Cleveland stands it. There is a
general impression abroad that Mr. Cleve

ple know how haul. I know it to be
a fact that it is not an unfrequent oc
currence for him to stay at his desk until
2 o'clock in the morning. Then he is
about again by 8 or 9 at the latest, appa
rently none the worse for the wear. How
he manages to keep up is a mystery. He
certainly won’t be able to do it forever.
He has the closest habits of industry of
any public man I ever knew. He doesn't
willingly waste a moment at any time,
and his habits are so methodical that hi*

This will be appreciated when it is known
that he never trusts to any one else in
matters which ought fairly to have hia
personal attention. Important aubjecia
of all kinds he examines closely for him
self, and he never Bigns his name, to
letters or other documents purporting
to express his opinions that have net
been really written by himself. His habits

LOUIS PHILIPPE’S GRANDSON.
He Has Been Around the World nnd Is tn
Chicago En Boat, to Parts.
From tho Chicago Tribune.
Prince Henri d’Orleans, who arrived
yesterday from San Francisco at the Hotel
Richelieu, is the eldtst son of the Due de
Chartres and the great-grandson of -Louis
Philippe, who wns once King of France.
Coming of Bourbon stock, he is related di
rectly or indirectly to most of the
reigning families of Europe. His un
cle is the Comte de Paris, who, if the mon
archy is restored in France, will be called
to the throne. His great uncles are the
Due d'Aumale, famous as a statesman and
academician; the Prince of Joinvillc, that
celebrated seaman who brought Napoleon’s
remains from St. Helena; the' Due de
Montpensier, allied to the royal family of
Spain, and the Due de Moon. So far
as his pedigree in concerned, Prince Henri
d’Orleans is probably the beat connected
youth that ever visited Chicago. The gen
ealogy of the Prince of Wales is of
mushroom growth to his. The history of
his family & the history of monarchical
Europe.
The eldest ton of Due de Chartres is a
tall young man, fair, with blue eyes. You
would take him rather for a German than
a Frenchman, and for an Englishman
rather than either. In his parlor at the
Bichelieu he sits engrossed in the Figaro,
and beside him, smoking a meerschaum

From the Washington Star.
“I want to call your attention to the un
licensed bar-rooms you will notice in this
house,” said Mr. Smith, as he entered
another house near by.
Here flowers resembling small red ba
nanas could be seen. They were hollow
and open at the top, and contained a liquid.
These were the unlicensed bar-rooms.
Breaking one off and opening it, it was
filled with small red ants.
“They come and drink the liquor,” said
Mr. Smith, “get drunk and die happy.”
“Here is the cockroach barroom,” he
coutinued, “and here the spiders. An ant
will not drink any of the roach or spider
liquor and vice versa.”
Near the door a beautiful plant with
creamy white leaves was labelled “con
sumption plant.”
“Whence the name?” asked the reporter,
“it is the plant diseased?”
“Yes, it really ‘has the consumption,”
was the reply, “and where these leaves
are tinted a creamy whit? they are diseased
lungs. You know that a plant breathes
through its leaves. ThU plant is propa
gated for its beauty.”
The fly-trap flower, in a large pot near
by hundreds of tiny think leaves resem
bling semi-circular jaws provided with
small, sharp teeth, attracted the reporter’s
attention.
“That’s the well-known fly-trap flower,”
said Mr. Smith, by way of explanation.
Whilo he was speaking a butterfly
alighted in one. Quicker than thought
the jaws closed, and the butterfly was
prisoner.
“How long will that butterfly remain
prisoner?” asked tho reporter.
“Two or three days. By that time the
flowers will have derived all the benefit
and good the fly possesses, and its jaws will
open nnd the fly be cast out. It is my
belief that the flower obtains sustenar.ee
fmm the prisoners It takes. Sometimes it
gets hold of the wrong kind of food, how
ever, and it gets dyspepsia. Tills conclu
sion is reached from the effect of the food
on tho leaves. Now this cell caught the
head of a blue-bottle fly a couple of days
ago, and got the dyspepsia, as you can see
by its color.”
Tho reporter looked and saw a sickly
combination of green and yellow markings
on the leaves, and the dead fly still between
them.

would hardly be thought likely to con
cern himself about. Politicians who talk
with, him arc al-o frequently astonished
by his knowledge of men and events in the
most distant parts of the country. He is
able to cover all this ground only by a
thorough systematizing of his work in the
first place and then by devoting all his
available time and energy to it."
Chicago Is Ahead.
From the New York Herald.
Jack Sheppard in petticoats! The peo
ple of Chicago are enjoying tho novelty of
that spectacle, and, though, not exactly
boasting of it, are proudly conscious that
even New York is behind tho great West
in such matters.
There were three of them, and in broad
daylight they inviffd a gentleman to stand
and deliver. He was as polite as tho cir
cumstances allowed, but expre-sed an un
willingness to give up his worldly goods
on so short a notice, and to ladies to whom
he had not had the honor of an introduc'-
tion. Two of them immediately threw
their arms about him in »a warm, and,
strange to say, unwelcome embrace, while
the third preceded to hammer him with
a pair of brass knuckles. He endeavored
to restrain their ardor by shouting for the
police, whereupuu the ladies incontinently
decamped.
What with Anarchy and this kind of
women’s rights, Chicago may well regard
herself as the vanguard of civilization

A Curious Story About »n Eagle.
From Harper's Young People.
The common eagle is a bird of wonder
fully keen sight. At a height of eighty
yards it can see a gloss mouse or a stoat,
and having once located its prey it will
swoop down with the speed of an arrow
and rise with the victim in its claws.
Mr. Samuel Wilmot, the superintend
ent of the Canadian Fish Hatcheries at
Newcastle, Ontario, Can., told me the fol
lowing story about an eagle: A pair of
eagles built their n-st near our house well
up in a largo pine tree year in and year
out for many seasons. One autumn the
cold weather set in earlier than
usual aud the smooth parts of the
stream that ran by our house were frozen,
but the eagles still remained in the big
pine, save when they flew abroad for food.
One morning as I sat at the window look
ing in the direction of the pines I no
ticed one of the birds leave the tree and
poise directly above a rough part of the
river which was not frozen. Then he went
down like a bolt and disappeared under
the water. I vi ched with great interest
to see what he would fetch—watched one,
two, 1 three, four seconds, but he did not
appear. This was something so unusual
that I became intensely interested. I
stood at the window for half a minute

pipe industriously, is M. de Botasy, fits pesred, and then, sure that something
traveling companion, an emcer ot the j liu j happened to him, I snatched
Mrs. Langtry’s mutation.
From tho New York Evening World.
Yesterday an impertinent reporter, while
interviewing Mrs. Langtry about her in
tended trip to California, asked: “Is there
any truth in the report that you may re
turn to us entitled to bear another nutnt?”
sirs. Langtry, who is the personification oi
patience and amiability, did nut order the
presumptuous interviewer out of the house.
She blushed, raised her fan and replied:
“I have not obtained my divorce. While
I remain the wife of Mr. Langtry it would
be scarcely delicate, to say the least, tu dis
cuss the probability of my marrying an
other man.”
Why Sheridan Succeeded.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
It is said that General Sheridan, when
once asked why so many soldiers were not
successful, answered, “The trouble is some
generals are only anxious not to be whip
ped. Tho idea of whippiug the enemy
never seems to enter their heads.” Tho
general preferred beating the enemy to
beating a retreat, and if there was a ghost
of a chance he tried the enemy first.

then jioled to the spot wnere the eagle had
gone under. Looking down, I saw the
bird, his wings partly extended, ana held
fast to the bottom in some unaccountable
way. With a grappling hook I drew him
out. Judge of my surprise when there
came to the surface, besides the eagle, an
enormous salmon. It was for this splendid
prize that the eagle had made his plunge.
Of course be had buried his strong sharp
taloons in the side of the fish, bu when he

Neither could he withdraw his taloons
from the salmon’s side, ami so had jierished.
The fish weighed a trifle over thirty
pounds.

Bound Mountain, Tex, March 29,1887.
—A lady friend of mine has for several
years been troubled with humps and pirn-
jdes on her face and neck, for which she
used various cosmetics in order to remove
aud lieautify nnd improve hercomplexion:
but these local applications were only tem-
jiorary and left her skin in a worse con
