A DIAMOND OF EIGHT OUNCES.
A Precious stone as Big as a Lemon
found I'm Australia.

The discovery of diamond weighing
three-quarteas of a pound, and worth, on a
moderate estimate, twenty millions OF
money, would be an event calculated to
leave q mark even on this age of sensa-
lions. We only regret that we cannot quite
announce il as fact. A stone, however,
assume to be precious, and defined In sue
cessive kilograms as diamond, topaz,
and nondescript, has actually been found
in the Australian gem sand. "The thing,
as our correspondent irreverently calls 1t,
is as big as a large lemon. 1t weighs be-
tween seven and eight ounce In the scale,
and it might. as the people say, be any
thing for all that could be told.
To enable the reader to speculate on the
possible marvel, and appreciate the phe-
nomenon at its proper worth, we will just
explain what it means, or would mean, II
actually realized.
Diamonds are measured by their weight
in carats, a carat being four grains. The
largest diamond of which We in this coun-
try have any practical knowledge, is the
famous Koh-i-noor, which in its historical
shape, as shown at the Exhibition of 1851,
weighed 1876 carats, or 744 grains The new
Australian diamond would weigh about 900
carats, or 3, GOO grains, just about five times
as much.
Diamonds, however, increase enormous
" in theoretical value with increase OF
weight; so that, whereas the koh-i-noor
was computed to be worth, according to
the ascending scale of prices, some G., 900,
600, the Australian stone would be valued
by jeweler at far more than five times
that sum. We need hardly add that such
calculations are purel speculative.
1t is all very well TO prove the value OF
diamond by the rates of a conventional Ia
BILE. bat as no purchasers could lie found
with millions in their pockets, the estimate
is entirely nominal The real value OF a
thing is what it will bring, and no stone
could be actually sold for million In
point of fact, this limitation of market
values was very soon reached IN the late
buoyancy of the trade.
Up to certain point the value of dia'
nonds rose greatly about twenty years
ago. but when this point had been passed
the prices remained stationary. The en-
hancement occurred solely in stones that,
as the phrase goes. were everybody
money" A diamond worth f500, or even
e1 900, would fetch 20 or 80 per cent IL
addition; but the famous Burgundy dia.
mond, for instance, brought only go 00l
"a very moderate price.
1t will certainly be interesting to learn,
by and by. what this ''reputed' diamond
turns out to be; but, as regards the mere
possibilities of the case, we may remark
that there is already ''reputed" diamond
in the world weighing actually twice as
much as the Australian gem. This won
derful stone is, or was, in the Portuguese
Treasury, among the crown jewels of The
kingdom, and it is known TO weigh ], 1St
carats. Unfortunately, that is about the
amount of knowledge We possess IN the
case, for the government would never allow
it to be examined, and it may only be
white SAPPHIRE or something less.-Londo'

A Remarkable Case.

Messrs BURNETT x Coz
My daughter has been afflicted with neuralgia ia
her head for three years. She has used during that
time many powerful applications These with the
intense heat caused by the pains, burned her hair
so badly that in October, 1861 it all came of.
She was induced to try your Cocosine, and the re-
suit was astonishing. She had not used half the
contents of 4 bottle before her head covered
with fine young hair. In four months the hair
has grown several inches in length, very thick SOFT
and fine, and of darker color than formerly.
