PRISE in operation, the California letter wr-

increasing, and Russell, Majors q Co. are
Sohhdent that the experiment will soon
Prove successful one, in pecuniary point
Sl view. They insist that there shall be no

THE BUTTERFfELD OVERLAND MAIL Con-
rRAcr.-Attorney General Black, in his opn
ion on the Butterfeld Overland Mail con,
tract, addressed to Postmaster General Holt,
says!
A mail contract, like other arrangements,
when once made can not be changed by one
party against the will of the other, unless the
power to change is expressly reserved in the
contract itself Generally, the contracts for
carrying the mails have stipulation in them
for power to change the amount of service
and compensation as the Postmaster General
may think proper. Bat there is no such
stipulation here 1t must have been omitted
because the parties intended that no such
power should be exercised. Now, does the
act of Congress authorize you to insert what
the parties left out The option of the Post
master General gave that functionary right
to determine whether the contract should be
made for a semi-monthly, weekly, or semi
weekly service but not a right to change the
contract after it was made.
On the whole. my opinion is, that you can
not change the service and reduce the pay OF
these contractors without violating the faith
which the Government pledged t. them by
the agreement of your predecessor.

DIAMOND MAKING.-Some gentlemen oi
Sacramento think they can make diamonds
out of carbon. At any rate they are going tc
try the experiment, and the machinery foi
that purpose, is being constructed in that
city. 1t is, says the Bee, Of "a very ponder
Gus character, and will weigh thousands o.
pounds. The ball in which the grand crea-
tion is to be effected, if the exp, riment is
successful is of solid iron, three feet in diam
eter and weighs $500 pounds. Two holes
some six inches in diameter, are bored through
crossing each other at right angles A fe-
male screw is cut in the part which surround.
the holes nearly down to the center. and
plugs of iron, with the male screw, ill the
holes, but not entirely to the center At the
center is cavity, where the precious Ipateri-
al is to be placed.
If we are not mistaken, the gentlemen man
aging this experiment have already been sue
eessful in reducing carbon to a fluid, and il
has also been compressed by them in a leaden
ball, in this city, sufficient to create a stone
so hard that no ieweler could cut it, and
which has been sent to Paris for inspection
The additional po" or given by the machine
ry above mentioned, it is hoped 10y the own
ers, will afford sufficient compression to erys-
talize the fluid. and diamond worth half
million may be the result. The power from
the galvanic battery is to be applet by
means of a copper wire conducted to the cav
ity in the center of the ball The machinery
will cost about $4,000 and it is expected that
the grand experiment will be tried in about
thirty days. Whether the proprietors reap
a prncely v reward or not, the operation will
be n great benefit to science

one of his rctinuc to DR.. Callct, to inquire
respecting the condition of Dickinson, and
said that the surgeon attending himself
would be glad to contribute his aid toward
Mr.. Dickinson's relief The polite reply was
returned that Mr.. Dickinson's case was be-
yond surgery. In the course of the day
Jackson sent Il bottle of wine to DR.. Callct
for the use Of his patient.
But there was one qualification which
jackson could not, even under such cir

Of Gen. Jackson's writes me thus cal
though the General had been wounded, he
did not wish it to be known until he had
left the neghborhood, and therefore had
conc called it at first from his own friends.
His reason for this was, as he once stated
to me, that as Dickinson considered him
self the best shot in the world, and was
certain of killing him at The first fire, he
did not want him to have the qualification
even Of knowing that he had touched him. .

SOULS SOLITUDE.

1t is the lot of some never to be positive
ly happy; their nearest approach to it is
resignation. They arc rcsigndd, but ncv-
cr glad These are the beings who think
profoundly, feel cutely, whose discerning,
spiritual eye pcnotratcs the abyss of the
past and of the future. Their mental and
moral faculties are broader and farther
reaching. Their sensibiliti cs more SEN
sitiycly strong, more kcenly alive, and
those belonging to beings cast in a common
mould They seem to hear all things, see
all things, suffer all things; and to this
soul, to whom is given the power to see,
and feel, and comprehend, dwelling as it
does, in the bosom of unrealcd mystery,
often shrinks back, sad and batlled, bear
ing upon its heart too great a burden Of
profound thought to be ever lightly gay.
This soul encircles all things; it turns in
sadness from the unsolved problem of the
physical universe, to muse and marvel over
the phenomena OF man; upon the pro-
spccts and possibilities, upon the being and
destiny of the imprisoned and alien soul,
which for little time sojourns in feshy
tabcrnacles. Nainly it asks science and
philosophy to explain. Height and depth
say, " Moth u.s. The universe Of stars
is cold, and dead, and tongueless, and they
exclaim as Pascal exclaimed :-'' The
eternal silence of the infinite spaces aff-
rights mc'
To such a soul religion only can be
comforter. Happy is it if it receives this
divine consoler. She says; Now thou
art embosomed in mystery, but in the
hereafter thou shalt understand" If it
can only lean upon the bosom Of faith, the
great soul is content to wait amid the
blended harmony and discord of this
transient life, until the glass which reveals
darkly shall be removed. Then it knows
that it shall see eye to eye" with the
Father of all mystery and of all know
ledge.
