The DIAMOND DIGGINGs.-The correspond
ent of the st. John Telegraph writes concerning
the diamond diggings of South Africa:
81 found this worthy standing by a brandy
cask, surrounded by great mob. He had just
found.a twenty-carat diamond, and had pur-
chased a cask of the strongest liquor that was
| to be had, and had it brought TO his claim.
| The bruiser had knocked in one end with his
| pick and then stood by with tin pot in his
hand, inviting all hands to a liquor. Ready
for fight said Bill, 'or a lush, whichever
yer likes Probably he did a little of both in
the course of the day. But | soon lost sight of
him.
"There can be no greater lottery than dia-
mond digging. Thousands have worked here
for months and get nothing; Others seem to
pick up diamonds by the dozen. Two men from
the same place, who went up together, have
got-one thirty-two diamonds, the other none.
One man had worked for months without sue
cess; but, determined TO persevere, he sent for
his little boy to join him. The lad went, and
the day after his arrival, while digging hole
to put post for a swing, he turned out
splendid diamond of twenty-five carats Dur
ing the time | was on the fields / was shown
about five hundred diamonds of different
sizes.
"There is a branch of the Standard bank on
the fields, and there are other purchasers in
plenty; in fact, diamonds bring a better price
on the spot when they are found than in any
part of the colony. AT this time of the year
there is thunder storm almost daily in the
diamond country. The Vaal river is full to the
very brink, and can only be crossed in boats.
On Sunday, | crossed over to hear the venerable
Archdeacon Kitton Of King Williams Town,
preach. There are several reverend gentlemen
on the fields, but they have come TO look for
diamonds, not for souls"

A REMARKABLE PRoPHEcY.-As everybody
is interested in the "great Tichborne trial." the
following legend in regard 10 the family of
Ilch6orne, the substance of which appeared in
the winchester Observer some fifteen years ago,
Will be entertaining, and certainly il is remark
able: 1t seems that the Tichborne family dates
its possession of its present patrimony, the
manor OF Iichborne, as far back as two hundred
years before the conquest. The Lady Mabela,
worn out with age and infirmity, was lying
on her deathbed, and besought her loving huss
band, as her last request, to grant her the
means of leaving behind her a charitable be-
quest, in dole Of bread TO be distributed TO all
who should ask it annually on the Feast
OF the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin
Mary. Sir Roger, her husband, acceded
70 tne request, and promised that the poor
should, at the appointed times have the pro-
duce OF as much land as she unassisted could
go over IN the vicinity of the park while a GER
tam brand or billet was burning, supposing
that as she was very ill, she could 90 but
short distance. However, when the old lady
had been carried to corner of the park and
placed upon the ground, her strength returned
and she crawled over several goodly acres,
much to her lords dismay. Theield which was
the scene Of the Lady Mabella's remarkable feat
scalled THE Crawls" to this day, is situated near
the entrance of the park, and covers an area of
twenty-three acres The task being completed,
Lady Mabella was taken to her chamber, and,
when she had summoned her family TO her
bedside, predicted prosperity while the annual
dole should last, and left her maedictions on
the head Of any of her descendants who should
discontinue or divert it, prophesyng that when
such an event should happen the old house
should fall and the family name become extinct
from the failure Of heirs male, and that these
disasters should be foreshadowed by genera
ton of seven sons followed by generation Of
seven daughters, but no son. This custom,
thus established in the reign of Henry H., was
observed for centuries, and the 25th of March be-
came the annual festal day of the family. In
the middle of the last century, how
ever, the custom was abused for, under
ptetenee OF attending the Tichborne Dole,
vaga5onds, gypsies, and idlers of all sorts, in
iested tne neighborhood to such an extent
tnat az last the gentry and magistrates com
planned and the custom was discontinued in
1875. one part of the prophecy was fulfilled,
as the other seems likely to be, for the baropet
OF the day had seven sons, and when he was
succeeded by his eldest son a generation of
seven daughters was born, the name Of the
house disappeared, for that Of the last baronet
was changed under the will Of his kinswonan
when he, as Mr.. Edward Tichborne, inherited
the Doughty estate, and became Sir Edward
Doughty, ninth baronet.

The Tehunntepcc CnnnI.

The Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press writes:
Captain Shufeldt who recently returned from
survey of the Tehuantepec route for an inter
oceanic canal, left here this evening, in conpa-
ny with corps of officials who assisted him,
for Stamford, Connecticut, where they will de
vote their entire time to the completion of an
elaborate report of the surveys made on the ex-
petition.
The report, which it is expected will be COM
pleted by the LIST of August next, making vol
ume OF about three hundred pages, will include
subjects upon the practicabili,y of the route,
the geological character of the country, its ma
terial resources for the construction of the work.
especially as ii relates to wood and stone, the
natural history of the country, climatology and
the ability of the natives to perform the manual
labor required in the construction of the canal.
Captain Shufeldt says that the entire length
OF the canal will not exceed 100 miles, with a
feeder Of not less than thirty miles. He thor
oughly surveyed on the gulf side the rivers
CoatzacOalco and Chicapa, and the lagoons and
harbors of Salina Cruz on the Pacific side. The
greatest elevation will not exceed 800 feet, with
seventy locks on either side Of the level for the
construction of which there is plenty Of stone
in the country. The depth Of the canal, accord
ing to the plan proposed, will be about twenty
feet, the width varying from 200 to 40 feet, and
the rough estimate of its entire cost will eabout
500 100000 Since the return of Captain Shu-
teldt he has called upon the president several
times, and has had extended conversations with
him concerning the practicability of the route
surveyed.
"The executive takes an active interest in the
project, and he is satisfied that the Darien sur
vey is impracticable, and if, as there is now no
doubt, through cut canal must be abandoned,
the route Just surveyed by Capt. Shufeldt is, in
the opinion Of the president, the best for a lock
canal. 1t has, however, been suggested that be-
fore this route could be made available treaty
rights between Mexico and the United States
must be agreed upon so as to secure this coun-
try from any foreign intervention, to provide pro-
lection for our people as well as their property,
and to allow American ships of war to pass
through the canal in time of war.
Capt. Shufeldt reports that the people living
in this part of Mexico are deeper in barbarsm
than they were fifteen years ago, and that with
out the presence of American troops to guard
the work as it progresses, there would be no Sc
curity for the amount invested. He believes it
should be essentially an American enterprise
rather to promote commerce between the north
western and Pacific coasts states than as an in
ternationa scheme. Upon the completion of
Capt Shufeldts report an expedition will be 1T
ted out under his command to survey the Near
ouo1Ia noast
