Uluuioiuis aud Diamond Buyers.
THE TRADE IN THE SUMMER —POLITI-
CIANS, BROKERS, AND NEGROES
AS PURCHASERS.
‘ We do less business in tbe sum
mer months.” said a Fourth avenue
jeweler, ‘‘although it is theu con
siderable, and it pays very fairly. It
comes either from the middle classes
or from persons who are left at home
by their employers. You would be
suprtsed at the trade we sometimes
get from those who have the care of
valuable horses or empty houses.
Then, we have many country custo
mers in summer.”
“Do the moderately well off buy
freely ?”
"Fairly so, but in proportion to
their means; they do not purchase
nearly so ofien as those immediately
above or below them. They always
want a good article and intend to
make it last. They have more free
dom of taste tbau the fashionables,
aud look rather to value then style.
They think a good piece of jewelry
is always good, They are wise there.’
“What is the favorite jewel?”
“The diamond ; and it is likely to
remain so. The ease with which it
may be pawned at something near
its value is a strong inducement with
many.”
“How is the market?”
“The best qualities remain about
as usual, New York is full, however,
of the good or average grades, and
there are good purchasers at the pre
sent prices. Gemsalways bring their
price, and are always more ur less
scarce.”
•‘What are gems?”
•‘The true gem is a perfect diamond.
It is of good color, well cut, without
flaw, and above all full of Are. Fire
ie the main point. Without it a dia
mond goes down one stop and be
comes a brilliant. Moat diamonds
are of this class. They are often
white and handsome stones in other
respects, but lack some one quality
which excludes them from the high
est rank, Fire is indispensable in a
gem, and a dealer will deteet the
detieency at a glance. When the
cutter finds that he cannot make a
gem out of a stone, he cuts it tor a
brilliant, and these stones make the
bulk of our sales. Tbe brilliants
vury greatly, of course. Soma are
white, but lack tire; others maybe
bright, but have a flaw: and others
are off color or are not well cut.”
“Are customers able to judge of
the real value of diamonds?”
“Very rarely; moat people have to
rely upon the dealer. Some of the
wealthy, however, who have a pas
sion for diamonds, and are always
buyiog or bartering them, can make
a fair guess at their value. What
they lack is that discipline of judg
ment which can ba obtained only by
those who are in the business. The
average customer is generally satis
fled if convinced that the stone is a
real diamond, and that he is buying
it low.”
“What are the lowest grades of
diamonds!”
“We call them rose diamonds—l
do not know why, for they are of the
same color as other stones. They
are ordinarily small and flat on one
side, and cannot be cut to shape.
Sometimes they are thin chips from
larger diamonds. These have to be
set on BOlid surfaces, and although
sometimes used la cluster rings or
brooches, are sold chiefly on the back
of watches or to ornament a medium
grade of bracelet. They are useful
stones for certain classes of trade.”
“Do people take diamonds with
them when they go to watering
plaoes?”
“As a rule they do not. Most per
sons take only enough for everyday
use; tbe rest are locked up in a bank
with the family plate. 8o many
sharpers infest tbe watering places
that the risk of wearing jewelry Is too
great. Then, too, it Is becoming the
rule to dress plainly at summer
resorts. The children’s nurse often
takes nearly as much jewelry to the
country as her mistress. Last fall
one of the maids told me that she
had been swindled out of a S4O pin
that a watering place acquaintance
had offered to have repaired for her.
Another maid told me that on going
to Long Branch she had left her jew
erly with a young man who had been
paying her attention. On her return
she found she had lost both lover and
jewels **
“Who else do you sell to in this
section?”
“Clerks who want something to
make a show with at Coney Island or
Rockaway and men who like to make
a brilliant appearance at the old
country homesteads. Litelywehave
made sales to a considerable number
of workingmen—particularly to those
who want to invest their winter and
spring savings in something and are
suspicious of savings banks. I sold
a SIOO ring to one of them last week.
He was a cartman, and did not look
to be worth $5. He drove a good
bargain, and his remark as he left
the store was; ‘A diamond is ea*<v
hid and hard to spend, and won’t
wear out like clothes.’
“Here,” continued the j»weler,
“are a lot of nice looking, but not
high-priced goods, very fairly set,
and not large enough to excite sus
picion of their genuineness. If they
were much larger we could not sell
them; people In the humblest cir
cumstances are improving over their
tastes of ten years ago. They are
bought ohiefly by people, both white
aud colored, who can afford no bet
ter. Those who care for jewelry at
all usually go as high as their pock
ets will permit.”
“Are colored people fond of jew
elrv?”
“Very much so, and they will gen
erally buy good articles when able to
do it. They have a remarkable fac
ulty for improving their condition,
in this city at least. They have al
most Oriental liking for goods in our
line, and the time is not far distant
when they will rival some of us in
the display of sound jewels. We
have a good deal of trade from them
now. About the middle of Septem
ber, when the colored stewards, bar
bers and waiters come in from the
summer resorts with thetr earniogs,
they will have something to aay
about the prosperity of the early
fall trade of our avenue jewelry
stow.”
COLUMBUS, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 24, 1881.
“Is it true that politicians are large
buyers?”
“Not nearly so much so as former
ly. The fancy for headlights—those
large solitaire pins, so fashionable a
few years ago—bas greatly diminish
ed among political men. The so
called sporting men monopolize a
good deal of that sort of thing. It is
for this reason, perhaps, that the pol
iticians have partly abandoned the
custom. Stock speculators, however
still buy largely of diamonds. They
generally purchase soltaires, and do
so almest immediately after a fortu
nate strike. They often sell again at
a considerable reduction when the
strike happens to go the other way.
I have known some of them who
were unable to hold their jewels
more than a week or ten day. A jew
eler below here sold a magnificent
gem to the same broker three times
in as many months. Such business
Is profitable to us.”
“Which have the greatest fondness
for jewelry, meu or women?”
"There is little difference, though
the taste in women is more wide
spread. When the passion for jew
elry becomes intense in men, how
ever, they seem to be more bound up
in it than women are. There is suen
a thing as diamond mania. I know
two or three men who are continually
buying tine gems, but who never sell
or even wear them.”
Growth of Coal Traffic.
The following from the Imiianupo
lis Journal is submitted to the gener
al consideration of our railroad man
agers, aud to the speoial considera
tion of the E. aud P.:
“Teh increase In coal trafllo over
the railroads of this country in the
last few years has been very remark
able, exceeding that or auy class of
business. This remark is equally ap
plicable to both local and through
business. The Vandalia, tho Chica
go and Eastern Illinois, the Indian
apolis and St. Louis roads have in
creased thetr equipments for coal
transportation hundreds of cars tho
last two years, and are still short of
oars. The same is true as regards*
roads which carry the hard coals
east and west. President Sloan, of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western road, last week remarked
that notwithstanding that their com
pany had thousands of coal cars now
in service, had they at the present
time three thousand more they could
be used to advantage. The same is
true of the Erie und Pennsylvania
roads. Offlcora of each of these lines
stated that they were thousands of
cars short, of having enough to (111
orders. Five years ago one-tenth the
present number of cars would carry
all the coal aud ooke forwarded to
Western markets; now the great
study of masters of transportation
was how they oan fill orders for cars
to ship coal to Western cities. 'Tpe
business is growing daily. Ship
ments are being made to points West
where anthracite ooals have never
before been consumed, while the
cities of Toledo, Cleveland, Indian
apolis, St. Louis, Chicago and Cincin
nati were doubling their orders as
oompared with those of August, 1880.
This branch of railroad business is
now receiving more attention from
the railroad managements than ever
before, and promise in the near fu
ture to become one of the most im
portant features, and one from
which they will derive a large reve
nue.”
Instruction in eating watermellon
is given by the Baltimore American,
which should be good authority, as it
is published in the melloa region.
The hotel plan of cutting a water
melon like a tulip, and putting a
lump of ice In it, Is condemned, be
cause ice should never touch the pulp;
but a burial of the uncut melon In
ice for two days is wise. Then cut
lengthwise and eat between meals,
“People deal uDjustly with this fruit
sometimes by eating a hearty dinner
first, and theu topping off with a
melon, and then if a moral eartbqako
sets up in the Interior, they charge it
to the melon. The watermelon was
intended as an episode-an interludo
a romance without words-a nocturne
in green and red—not to be mingled
with bacon and greens. Its indul
gence leaves a certain epigastral ex
pansion,but this is painless and eva
nescent, The remedy is to loosen the
waist-band, and take another slice,”
Alexander Burns, a grand-nephew
of Robert Bums, the poet, and one of
the oldest and most capable engi
neers on the Western waters, hasjust

in-law, James A. Beatty. Mr. Burns
was 70 years old, and bis death re
sulted from Injuries received several
weeks ago by being thrown out of a

was broken and he received Internal
injuries which hie old age could not

of Incredulity. You are an agnostic.”
And then he explained to a friend

THE SECESSION PERIOD.
JUDE BLAOK ANSWERS THE CHARGES OF
TREACHERY AGAINST BUCHANAN.
K . •
Speoial Dispatch to the World.
Philadelthia, August 20.—1 n tho
1 course of another interview which
the Philadelphia Press will print to
-3 morrow, Judgo Jero Black eays. “To
charge Buchanan with unfaithfulness
to tho Unionists is the foulest slan
-1 der that was ever uitered. To say
that ho was influenced by any feeling
’ akiu to personal fear, that he ever
utted or forebore to act without the
t sanction of his conscience is an out
r rage upon truth too gross to bo for
given to a man of great ability and
pure integrity who spout the
best years of his life in the
’ public service! Ho was as hon
-3 est a patriot as ever lived, and no
- man ever sat In the Presidential
chair who know better than he did
how to enforce the respect duo to
* himself and office. Perhaps no cnl
-1 urnny that was uttered against him
- hurt his feeling or injured his_ char
acter more than that by which lie
was represented as .being bullied
- and dragooned by S autou and
i others. Stanton never but ouce veil
. tured beyond the line of mere ob
sequiousness and then was driven
back to his place oowering under the
j lash of the Priest’s reprimand. Buch
anan did not reinforce the forts in
Charleston harbor, and I have a
■ right to condemn that as an error,
, beoause I said it wus wrong at tho
, time and acted accordingly all
through. But does It ell lie in the
mouth of his political enotnis to liud
l fault with him for that
. or any other omission
to place the country in a better state
' of defense against tho secessionists.
■ When he told Congress tnotiuo state
, tho Union was in aud that tho means
at the disposal of the Executive were
altogether inadequate to check the
i rising revolution, they sat silent aud
; unmoved. When he called upon
them for help, which they alone
' could give, they answered him insult
aud vituperation. They admitted|tbat
tho exposition of the law and defini
tion of hia powers which ho made
were perfectly correct, but tne need
ed legislation to enlarge them was
not passed. On tho contrary, all
bills lookiug to the increase of the
force at his command were either
voted down or smothered iu com
mittee. When ha nominated the
Collector of the Port of Charleston
he tendered them a practical issue
which the Senate evoidod by lotting
tho nomination lio on tiro table until
Mr. Lincoln came In and wiiudrow
it. Mr. Lincoln himself on the way to
tho Capitol lot it bo distinctly under
stood that ho was as much averse to
a war as Buchanan was. und his piu
inaugural address Uo deeluredthat ho
would not only forbear all hostile ac
tions but he would not even execute
the laws or attempt to retake any of
the public property which tho seces
sionists had already unlawfully ap
propriated, but if they would let him
no would carry tho mails for them.
Ho invited the negotiations which
Buchanan had repelled and he tom
poriz.'d and vacillated about, the Bur
render of Fust Sumpter. His Cabi
net voted six to one in favor of tiro
surrender, and. his Secietary of
State pleged his faith to give it up.
When Mr. Lincoln at last refused to
execute this pledges. Seward in an
underhand way did all that ho could
toiprevent the success of the relieving
expedition. Theso facts.bsing perfect
ly well known, what are wo to think
of the men who charged Buchanan
with the treachery of timidity, and in
the same breath laud Lincoln and
his Administration as faithful and
