IMPORTANT DISCOVERY

The secret of manufacturing diamonds has at
last been discovered, occording to the Paris
correspondent of the London Daily Tines, vino
says
The scientific world has been in sttae of
comnotion during tie whole week, in conse.
quence of the publication Of the discovery ofthe
long sought for secret Of the fusion and chrys-
taliaation of carbon. The Sorbonne has been
crowded for the last few days, to behold the re-
suit of this discovery, in the shapeof tolera-
bly-sized diamond of great ustre, Wish NJ. Des-

animation Of every cfieniist Or eaUnat VINO chons-
es to visit him. He declares that 50 long ago
as last autumn he had succeeded il producing
the diamond, but in such minute PARTICLES as to
be visible only through the microscope, and, fear
full of raising irony and suspicion, he had kept
the secret, until, by dint OF repeated experiments
and great labo', he had completed the one he
now offers to public view. -Four solar lens of
immense power, aided by The tremendous gal,
vanic pile of the Sarbonnc, have been the means
of producing the result now before Us, M. Des-
prezi holds himself ready to display the expert
mcnt whenever it may be required The dia.
mond produced is of the quality known in the
East as the black diamond, one single specimen
of which was sold by Prince Rostoi to the late
Duke of York, for the enormous sum of twelve
thousand pounds

FIRST STEAMBOAT.

In 1898, John Fitch put III operation the first
steamboat propelled by wheels OF screws, upon a
pond then existing, called "Colect Pond"
which, in extent was about equal to the four
blocks each way from the corner of Centre and
Leonard streets, New York, and about sixty feet
deep, occupying the very place covered by those
blocks. The boat was about the size of a ships
yawl-eighteen feet long by six feet wide. The
boiler was an iron pot Of ten or twelve gallons,
with a cover of plank and the engine had a
cylender of wood strongly hooped with iron.-
The screw and the loheeI, the present rival in
struments of propulsion, here had their begin
ming together, for they were applied to the same
boat, and upon this pond. Truly-a small begin
ming for so vast an application of steam to navi-
cation, as now we see upon the waters of the
whole earth.

THE DISCIPLINE OF SORROW

Sorrow is the noblest of all discipline. Our
nature shrnks from it, but it is not the less for
the greatness of our nature. 1t is a scourge but
there is healing In its stripes. 1t is a chalice,
and the drink is bitter, but strength proceeds
from the bitterness. 1t is a crown of thorns, but
it becomes a wreath Of light on the brow which
it has lacerated. 1t isa q cross on which the spr-
it groans, but every Calvary has an Olivet. To
every place of crucifxion, there is likewise a
place of ascension. The sun that was shrouded
is unveiled, and heaven opens with hopes eternal
to the soul, which was nigh unto despair. Even
in guilt, sorrow has sanctity in within it. Place
a bad man beside the deathbed, or the grave,
where all that he loved is cold, we are moved,
we are won by his aflliction, and we find the di-
vine spark yet alive, which no vice could quench.
We cannot withhold our interest, and we are
compelled to give him our respecd.
Christianity itself is a religion of sorrow. 1t
was born in sorrow, it was incarnate in sorrow,
in sorrow, it was tried and by sorrow it was made
perfect. The author of Christianity was a man
of sorrows and acquainted with grief Alone did
he tread the wine-press of agony, until the last
drop Of torture was crushed out. Alone did he
walk on the waves of affection in the dark and

stormy midnight of solitude and Wo. With sen.
sibities so quick, so gentle; aud SO loving with
a perfect soul, to which wrong OF wickedness
must have caused unspeakable pain, yet to which
the depths of wrong and wickedness were ex.
posed; with sympathies alive to the smallest suf.
ferng, and yet which clasped in their wide en-
brace all humanity in its wants and its capaci-
ties; heavy, indeed, was the burden which his
spirit had to bear Not on Zone occasion only,
bnt often, we conceive him bathed all over with
the cold sweat of terrible anguish-oftcn we
may hear him exclaim, My soul is sorrowfu, cx.
cedlngly sorowful, sorrowful even unto death.
Ii was for such being that humanity waited :;
out of the depths of its gloom, ofdoubt, of suffer-
ing and of sin, the heart of humanity cried for
such being, and in the funess of time he
came. Humanity looked up bewildered to the
stars, it looked down weeping to the grave; but
the stars were cold and the grave silent. With
passionate applications, with tears and blood,
it sought reply to its deep sad questonings. But
heaven and earth were mute to its petitions. At
last being was given to it, who understood the
secret of its grief, and who solved the mystery of
its fears, who spoke out of its own affections and
to them; who, enduring its trials to the utmost
with the comfort of divine truth, bestowed the
help of divine companionship.
Distinctively Christ was man of sorrows, and,
distinctively Christianity is areligion for the
1t is by aflliction that the need of it
is felt; it is by affection that its mnermost mean.
ing is apprchended. Even the pardon which it
proclaims, the mercy which it reveals, descends
only on the tribulations of repentance. 1t is a
religion which brings the soul into communion
with solemn things on every side of it, and into
most intimate communion with itself. 1t is a re-
ligion which, in giving the soul an idea of fault
less excellence, humblcs and chastens it in the
presence Of the holiness by "hich it is elevated
and sanctifed.

MESMERTSM.

In an interesting article in the Edinburch
Review for April, on Lowis's esayo authority
in matters Of opinion, we have incidentally
some valuable facts illustrative Of mesmeysm as
applied to surgery
Itappears that hospital has been opened in
Calcutta hinder the auspices of the government.
in which DIR, EsdalIe, the experimenting physi-
cian has performed a great variety of dificult
and severe surgical operations upon patients
while in the mesmerc sleep. A committee of
seven persons, four of whom were medical men.
were appointed by Lord Dalhouse, 10 report on
the practice.
This report has been made and printed. and
gives detailed account of the Committees oh.
servaons from November to May.
Some of the diseases in India require opera.
tions longer and more painful than any endured
in Europe. DR., Esdailo prepared his patients by
throwing them into mesmcric sleep, and almost
without exception, the most painful operations
were performed without giving the slightest pain.
The patients on awakening aiFr losing limb
or tumor, declared that they lfd been entirely
unconscious of the operation they had under.
gone. The Inconsistencies was the same as
under the use of chloroform or ether but with
none Of the physical distress or disturbance
which SO often attends the use of chloroform
&c.
With such facts, simply attested, before us
we cannot help thinking with Dr.. Mayo, in his
