demnation Of structure which, in all probable

A Two MILLION DOLLAR DIAMoND.-Ths
Goshen Democrat and lyAig tells the following
queer story:
DISTINGUISHING recently heard much Of
the reported good fortune Of the Rev. Robert
Armstrong, nf Newburg, in purchasing, among
other minerals, what he supposed to be topaz,
but which turned out TO be diamond, we have
taken pains to get at the real facts of the
case, and find them 10 be these: Mr.. Arm
strong, who has for some time past devoted
much OF his time to neurological pursuits,
purchased lot Of minerals, some months since
of an Englishman in New York, among which
was supposed 10 be topaz
Upon a reorganization Of these minerals q
considerable time after their purchase, Mr..
Armstrong was struck with the close resem-
blance Of This supposed topaz to the real dia.
mond, and was led to subject it to test Of its
qualities. This test confirmed his hopes, and
the opinion of others, acquainted with the SUBJ
ject, was sought, and given in favor Of the val
liable character Of the gem. Mr.. A. has been
| offered $5O0,OO0 for one half Of the brilliant,
but has declined the proposition. Its weight is
two and half ounces, and it real diamond,
its value will be more than $2,000,0O0.
| MIR. A. is now taking measures to have the
character OF the mineral put to the severest
| scrutiny, and we believe he has little doubt but
that scrutiny will result according to his wishes.
| Ii a diamond, il is the largest known in the
world. 1t has passed in disguise through sew
eral hands, its valuable qualities not having been
discovered by the person who originally took it
from the earth, nor by any into whose posses.
sion it subsequently passed until it fell beneath
the scrutiny Of the present possessor. If gen.
uine, it will put the Rev. gentleman in posses
sion OF immense wealth, and this wealth, we
have no doubt, he will use in q commendable

ST.. CHARLES AND MISSISSIPPI AIRLINE
RAILRRoAp.-The survey of so much of this
road as lies between Galena and Savanna has
been completed. The line has been found
shorter by two miles than we expected when
the survey began, though in thus reducing the
length Of the road, one heavy cut is encounter
ed.-This occurs about two miles from Spring
street bridge. In getting through it, rock walls
will be left on each side of the road, for short
distance, one hundred feet in height.-Never-
theless, the new route is considered by the
Resident Engineer far preferable to that adopted
by the State. On the former, he finds no curve
less than $500 feet radius; while on the latter,
curves with radius of 500 feet are not unfre-
quent. In no place-even the most difficult
lis the grade more than forty feet per mile.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to the
engineer and his party for the expeditions and
thorough manner in which they have done up
difficult and laborous task The estimates
based on this survey will be soon made up at
ST. Charles, and the work will then be ready
for the contractor.-Galcna Jeff.
