MENTAL LIFE OF WOMEN" men,"
says gentleman of intelligence and obser-
walton, "haye any idea of the mental life
of women, or how much thinking is done
by them. 1t is fashion to say women
don, think, but it is mistake. Ny father
died when | was twelve years old, and
was brought up with my mother and sis
tiers. ! know that they, and the ladies
with whom they associated, were thinkers,
and yet remember that, even as child,
was struck with the difference when a
gentleman called. There is a difference
between your sex and ours. A man stands
by his thought; carries it openly, like
banner, which he is bound to defend while
you, apparently more impulsive, and with
n reputation for greater spontaniety, are in
reality much more reticent. and in certain
sense, do your thinking on the sly. Among
yourselves you think deeply, and express
yourselves with vigor. In the presence of
4 man you conceal your thoughts and reflect
his. Whether it is fault of your educa-
ton, or of your appropriateness, cannot
tell, but such seems to lie the fact"

Mahogany Cutting in Honduras.

Mr.. E. G. Squier, in his "Honduras
Descriptive, Historical, and Statistical"
says:
"Of all occupations known to man, that
of the mahogany cutter is perhaps the
widest i'll its nature, and yet among the
most systematic in its arrangements.-
When the cutter has fixed upon the valley
of some river as the field of his operations,
he makes depot for storing provisions,
and for securing and embarking the wood.
| Here he maintains little fleet of pitpans
for carrying supplies and keeping up rela-
tions with the works proper, the sites
of which are determined chiefly by the
| abundance of trees, their accessibility, and
the means that exist for feeding the cattle
which it is necessary to use in trucking"
the wood. To these points it is often
necessary to drive the oxen through thick
| and untracked forests, and to carry the
chains and trucks, by means of small boats
against strong currents or over shadows
and rapids, which are only surmounted
with infinite labor. The site once definitely
| fixed upon, the next step is to erect tempo
rary dwellings for the men-a task of no
great difficulty, as the only requisite is pro-
lection from the sun and rains which is
effected by roof matched with long grass
from the swamps, or with "cahoon" leaves,
or the branches of the thatch-paIm. A
hammock swung between two posts, two
stones to support his kettle, and the hut of
the cutter is both finished and furnished!
The mahogany season, which lasts
some months, commences in August of each
year, it being the opinion of cutters that
the wood is not then so apt to split in fall
ing, nor so likely to check in seasoning,
as when cut from April to August, in what
is called the spring. Furthermore, by
commencing at this period, the cutter is
enabled to get down his wood and prepare
it for trucking by the setting in of the dry
season.
"The laborers are divided into gangs or
companies of from twenty to fifty each,
under the direction of leader STYLED "a
captain, who directs the men in his COM
pany. assigns them their daily tasks, and
adds to or deducts from their wages in pro-
portion as they accomplish more or less
than what is supposed to be just days
work. Each gang has also one person con-
nected with it, who is called hunter,
whose duty it is to search the bush for
trees proper to be cut. His work, there
fore, commences somewhat earlier than
that of the others, and as it involves activity
and intelligence, he is paid much higher
wages than the mere cutters. His first
movement is to cut his way through the
thickest of the woods to some elevated sit
uation, where he CLIMBS the tallest trees
he finds, from which he infinitely surveys
the surrounding country.
"Around Belize the mahogany-cutters
are chiefly negroes, descendants of the
slaves who were formerly employed
there. But in Honduras they are princi-
pally Caribs, who, in activity and strength,
are said to excel the negroes; they are also
more intelligent, and require less care and
superintendent. Many of them go annu-
ally to Belize, and hire themselves for the
season, returning to their homes at its
close"

Letter from Georgia.

MACON, GA, February 9TH, 1871
MIR. EDIToR:-A certain dizziness pre-
vades the air-a political, commercial anG
social dizziness. Our State affairs present
no exciting features whatsoever, and We
suffer our Atlanta authorities to govern us
and do with us just as they see fit. The
newspapers are void of interest, and con.
tain very little readable matter, aside from
solicitations for the Lee memorial and pro
Carnations of the Governor. To the latter
| am compelled to call your attention, fol
they form remarkable study of southern
affairs, and-dry and business-like they
are-show you this country in a better and
truer light than partisan newspaper lmagi
nations. Let me give You synopsis OF
one of them:-one offers a reward for the
apprehension of a horse thief; anothe,
"goes for murderer; and a third one
wants to find out the whereabouts of that
party of thirty disguised men who took the
colored (of course Hon. So-and-so in the
stiffness of charming moonlight night
out of his bed, tore him from the side OF
his loving spouse, and treated him to a lot
of one hundred lashes, and left him sadel
and sorer man. Still another proclamation
wants to form the acquaintance of gang
of politicians, who, at the last election
stole the "vox populi the ballot boxes
in different counties. hope the Governor
may succeed in restoring to the State the
will of the people. "But hope little and
fear all, for the Democratic types in the
Democratic papers that publish these pro
CARNATIONS look so cunning, and 50 smiling
and so all-knowing.
Business affairs take by-and-by a slower
course to the same extent as the storing OF
cotton decreases. The warehouses arc
nearly filled and you may form yourself a
slight idea of the magnitude of the cottor
trade, if l tell you that one house has
.eapacity for storing 100000 bales, repre-
senting value of about $4,000, 900 t.
$S,00O,O00.
That was gloomy day for. the unrecon
structed chvalry, when the cable announced
the fall of Paris. 1t was the sadest even
-whines Macon daily-since the day o
Appomatox, and the conduct of the bar
barous German soldiery was even NOR,

RECOGNITION on EARTH.-The following
is suggestive to an evil which exists in GER

he once preached on "The Recognition of

ton of friends here as he had been in the
church twenty years, and didn't know any

Diamond Mining in South Africa.

A California miner who emigrated to the
cape OF Good Hope in August last, writes
letter to the -1lta CaItornia from the
diamond fields of South Africa, in which
he relates the following experience: eve
lett Colesburg on the LIST of July, and
arrived at the headquarters of the diamond
fields on the 5th-200 miles. We found
plenty of grass and bush for the animals
but water was scarce, and at several
farms we had to pay one shilling for
water for ourselves and stock; this water
had been collected in kind of hole formed
by damming up ravine or depression in
the plain; the dams arc filled during the
rainy season, and last through the dry sea-
son. The road is excellent all the way
from Colesburg to tine diamond fields.
AT THE MINES.
I" Arrived at the diamond fields, Cali
forna scene of carly days presented itself
The river was lined with rockers, tents.
and miners of all kinds, color, sex and size.
for u mile on both sides. At least 800
miners were at work, whole families, men,
women, and children, having left their
homes, either in the Transvaal Republic,
Orange Tree State, or Cape Colony. The
men were picking, shoveling, and washing
the dirt, while the women and children
were sitting around tables, and sorting the
pebbles that have been washed, for dia-
monds. Before crossing the Vaal River,
we applied to Mr.. Kallcnburg, the mission
airy, for permission to dig on the Pruel
Farm, but he refused, as we were strangers
to him. He only allows those whom he
knows to mine on the estate, and he makes
them give him one fourth of the proceeds
of their finds. There were about 200 peo-
pie on the estate when we arrived, and they
had found, on an average, about twenty
five diamonds day of from ! to 5 carats
each; no large diamonds had been found
on this estate up to the time of our arrival
but several have been found since-one of 10
carats, one Of II carats, and one of 43
caratS.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1871-02-18
THE CALIFORNIAN IMPROVEMENT.

GA few days after our arrival, invented
shaking table for dry sitting, the top
sieve of inch holes. and the bottom sieve
of 3-1G inch holes; the top sieve is inclined
one way about twenty-five degrees, SO that
all the large stones will fall off by the shak-
ing. The bottom sieve is longer than the
top one, and inclined twenty-five degrees
in the opposite direction; the dirt and gray
el that pass through the top sieve fall on the
second one, and the dirt passes through
and the gravel to wash passes out at the
end, and is carted to the river for washing.
| could put through sixty cart-loads day
with this medium, and concentrate it to
twenty carloads Of gravel-but two men
can only sort out four carloads of gravel
| in ten hours after it has been washed, and
we do not put more than twelve carloads
through in day in consequence of this
| We are now teaching some of our negroes
to sort, and we will put more ground
through presently.
WHAT THE ROUGH DIAMOND LOOKS LIKE.
eve find that the blacker the negro is
the more honest he is; whenever they get a
little white blood in them they will steal;
we try them by dropping piece of cut
alum into the machine, and it exactly
resembles rough diamond. We can tell
who is honest and who is not by the return
| or non return of it on the tables. On the
first day of our washing We obtained Z
carat diamond, slightly otf-colored, but
good shaped and nearly round, valued at
eS. We worked this claim out and got
nothing more. We tried our several other
claims on that side of the river with no
success, although diamonds were found all
around us. We worked three on that side
of the river without further success, and
then having obtained permission from Mr..
X, the missionary, to mine on the Pruel
| farm, we moved over here. and the first
days washing we found two beauties of :
and carats. | also discovered a secret in
diamond mining on this side of the river.
that | shall divulge only to the company
that is being raised in New York to work
a certain diamond farm by a wholesale sys-
tenn am quite satisfied with this side of
the river and the claim that have. All
that | need now is Il sorting machine, :
that will sort as fast az | can put the
seascalho' through the washer"
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1871-02-18
HOW THE DIAMOND MINERS WORK.

"Most of the miners work in this man.
ner: They first dig the gravel to the bed
or to the clay generally from six inches to
three feet in depth, then with meal sitter
they sift the dirt and throw out all large
stones. The middling dirt, or pebbles,
they cart to the Naal river, about, on an
average, 500 yards from the mine, and
there wash it in a California gold cradle;
they then lay the washed peoples on a table,
and carefully sort a handful at a time with
a scraper; by this means they get through
about two cart-loads of sifted 'cascalho a
day. Some carry the water up to the mine,
and after the dry sitting of the dirt, they
dip the sieve in the water and wash the
pebbles.
