WHAT PRECIous STONES ARE MADE

WHAT Precious STONES ARE MADE
Or.-And first, as TO the diamond
which though the king and chief of all
nav be dismissed in two words-pure
carbon. The diamond is the ultimate
effort, the idealization, the spiritual ev
olution of coal, the butterfly escaped the
tomb, the realization of the GOALS high
est being. Then the ruby, the flaming
red Oriental ruby, side by side with the
sapphire and the Oriental topaz-both
rubies of different colors-what are they?
Crystals of our commonest argillaceoui
carth-the earth which makes our pot
,er's clay, our pipe clay, and common
roofing slate-mere bits of alumina.-
Yet these are among our best gems,
these idcalizatiou of common potter's
clay. In every hundred grains of beau
tiful blue sappire, 90 are pure alumina,
with one grain of iron to make that glo-
rious blue light within. The ruby is
colored with chroimc acid. The amethyst
is only silica or flint. In 100 grains of
amethyst 9S are simply pure flint-the
same substance as that which made the
old flint in the finder box, used before
our PHOSPHORUS and sulphur headed
matches, and which, ground up and pre-
pared, makes now the vehicle of artists
colors. OF this same silica are also cor
nelian. cat's-eye rock crystal. Egypt
ian jasper, and opal. In 100 grains of
opal 90 are pure silica, and 10 water. 1t
is the water, then, which gives the gem
that peculiarly changeable and rides
cent coloring which is so beautiful, and
which renders the opal the moonlight
queen of the kingly diamond. The gar
net, the Braziian-not the Oriental
topaz, the Occidental emerald, which is
ofthe same species as the beryl, all these
are compounds of silica and alumina.-
But the beryl and emerald are not C om
posed exclusively of silica and alumina;
they contain another earth, called glu=
kos, sweet, because its salts are to the
taste. The hyacinth gem is composed
of the earth, not so long discovered,
called zirconia-first discovered in that
species of hyacinth stone known as zir-
con is found in Scotland. To every
100 parts of hyacinth 20 are pure zirco-
mia. A chrysolite is a portion of pure
silicate ofmagnesia, Without carbon
ate OF copper there would be no mala-
chite in Russia or at the Burra- Burra
mines; without carbonate of lime there
would be no Carrara marble the tur-
quoise is nothing but phosphate of alu-
nina, colored blue by copper, and the
lapis lazuli is only bit of earth painted
throughout with sulphuret of sodium

AUTHOR AND EDITOR MULCTED.-
IhoS. Mooney author of Moneys His
tory of Ireland, and editor of lIooney's
Folsom and Placerrile Express, has re-
Gently raised quite sensation at Fol-
som, rather to his own disadvantage.
Yesterday he appeared in Police JUS
tlce Barr's Court, charging Thomas
Donnough William Dresser and
William Maslin, residents of Folsom,
with threatning his life. The defend,
ants were tried separately and each
acquitted, and the costs taxed against
Mooney; Messrs. Catlin and & Hopper
appearing for the defendants, and j. FL.
Stewart, Prosecuting Attorney, and
Barrister Brown for The People. 1t ap-
peared from the evidence and other
collateral testimony that, some months
ago, Miss McDonnough. (sister of Thos.
McDonnough,) Il young lady of about
eighteen, highly educated and accom-
plished, came to Folsom to reside with
her brother. Having received her ed
ucation in convent, and knowing little
Of the world, she was easily persuaded
by the fascinating Mr.. Mooney (who is
over fifty years of age) to promise him
marriage. Mooney is represented (how
truly we know not) as having one or
more wives in the various parts of the
world where he has travelled. The
brother forbid Mooney his house, some
weeks ago, but the latter has continued
to have private interviews with the
young lady, and succeeded in inducing
her to attempt to evade her brothers
protection, and throw herself upon his
tender mercies. This state of things
brought matters to crisis, and the
many friends of McDonnough talked Sc
riously of riding the renowned editor
out of town on a rail. Dresser and Mas
lin called on him and informed him of
the state of feeling among the people,
advising him to leave instanter. Which
advice was taken. But upon arriving
in Sacramento he swore out warrant
against the aforesaid advisers and chalg-
ing them as above stated. Mooney
caused subpoena to be served on Miss
McDonough to appear before the Justice
to testify in the charge against her
brother; but she did not appear, being
in the custody of her brother, who is
determined that she shall not be cap
tured by the indefatigable lover. A large
number of witnesses were in attendance,
on behalf of the defendants, and from
the expression which we observed, we
should think it poor business for Moon
ey to pursue his designs upon the young
lady any further. Justice Barr, while
proceeding to render Judgment in the
case adverse to the prosecution, was in
terrupted by Mooney, who was evident
ly itching for an opportunity to make
speech. The Judge checked him, ad-
vislng him that it was too late to make
any remarks, and thereupon ordered
that the defendants be discharged and
that the costs of the prosecution be tax
ed against Mooney. At this there was
decided clapping of hands and stamp
ing of feet throughout the room. Some
of .those in attendance wished to afford
Mooney an opportunity to make
speech after the court adjourned, but
Justice Barr informed them that if they
wished to hear any harangue it must be
heard outside of his office. The crowd
then quietly dispersed.-Sac. Union.
