Precious Stones i'm Arizona and Colorado.

There is no longer any doubt as to
the discovery of diamond fields IN
southwestern Colorado and Arizona.
Several packages of stones have passed
through Denver, and after reaching
San Francisco have been proved to con-
tain diamonds of the first water, to-
gether with other precious stones. A
company of 100 men IS organizing IN
Denver and already numbers over 80,
who will start in few days, armed,
equipped and provisioned for a SIX
months expedition. An organization
was effected and officers elected last
evening.
Another diamond district has been
found in Colorado, nearly west of
Denver, on the proposed extension Of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad. An engineer party under
W. il. Pugh, Chief Engineer of the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Rail
road, left Pueblo September 81, fol-
lowing the Arkansas River and Tenncs
see Creek to the head waters OF the
Poncy River, down the Pony, GRAND
White and Uintah rivers, and reached
Salt Lake October 10th, passing over
that portion of the route Indicated by
the Poney and Uintah rivers. The
Engineers were attracted by the bril-
Iiancy of the stones found ID this re-
gion, and without search for diamonds
quite a number were gathered asspeci-
mems. After arriving at Salt Lake and
seeing the diamonds and specimens
produced and hearing the testimony
the belief is rapidly growing that the
wealth of Rock contains a diamond
field that will vastly eclipse its wealth
in silver and gold.

TODD lacked the constituents for making

without noticing any good results what
ever. AT last he put about four bushels
OF leached ashes in his barnyard, and threw
out to them about shovclful each day.
They all ate as if with evident relish.
After turning them out to pasture, he put
one peck of dry ashes per week on the
ground in the pasture. They ate all up
and gnawcd off the grass where i. had
been lying. The cattle began to improve,
ginning flesh and looking better than they

this morbid appearance was rnGoticcd

a CORRESPONDENT of the MARYLAND
Farmer urges the general introduction of
wooden collars, for the following reasons:
l. Tho present hugo collar chokes the
horse in the summer and chIlls him

2. A collar made of white bass or
other light, tough wood, would never
heat, gall, or chill horse.

hard wooden surface, polished and kept
clean, is the safest, coolest, best and
healthiest collar ever used -. -

illustration of the superior quality of a

stances: During the war it was found
necessary to remove an equipment factory
in the South 500 miles. The number of
collars for the teams employed was insult
ficent by forty, which were made of wood,
polished and tied on by ropes through

wore the wooden collars were ungalled
and ready for work as usual. Several
planters, also, being unable to procure
collars during the war, nude them of
wood, and conducted their business with
success, and comfort to their mules and
horses.

cut up into soup when the outsides would
flavor it equully well or better. The
young leaves of goose-berries added to
bottled fruit give a fresher flavor and
greener color to pies and tarts. The
leaves of the Towering currents and rec
Orange, citron and lemon leaves impart a
f1avoring equal to that of the fruit and

In short, leaves are not half so much used

A CHrinus Fact.

Some person who recently attended

with .amazement 10 find that they could
readily see the bottom of streams over
winch they passed. The phenomenon
is curious one, and attention has
often been called to it. It suggests
the thought that when sailing in bal
looms and flying machines shall have
become common and practicable, new
method of examining the sea-botton
may be found-one which shall save
the necessity of sending off such ex-
petitions as that on which Professor
Agassiz and his party recently went.
Long grapplers will, of course, be
needed for the purpose of obtaining

Important Case Decided.

One of the most important confisca
ton cases arising out of the war has
just been finally decided. The proper
ty of W, N. McYeigh, of Alexandria,
Va, was confscated during the war,
through proceedings in the United
States Circuit Court for the State of
Virginia, Judge Underwood presiding.
X house and lot was sold under the de-
cree, Judge Underwood's wife becom-
ing the purchaser. Subsequently IN
derwood and wife conveyed it to trus-
tee for the benefit of Mrs. Underwood.
McVeigh, after the war, brought suit
against Underwood and wife, and the pro-
ceedings in Underwood's court were set
aside by the United States Supreme
Court, which declared the whole pro-
ceeding to be a STAINLESS one. Judge
Underwood kept possession of the
house and lot, refusing to give it mp,
and McVeigh sued Underwood in eject
ment in the corporation court to get
possession of the property, and YER
dict In his favor was the result.

Platinum in Colombia.

The Panama Star tells curious story
about secret treasure in the Republic
of Colombia. It says that the Bourbon
family in Holland are negotiating with
view to selling, for $1,000, 900 in
Amer can gold and one-third of the
subsequent proceeds, the secret of the
whereabouts of an immense deposit of
platinum. The balance, after they get
what they want, is to be used to pay off
the debt of the Republic and construct
railroad from Bogota to Magdalena.
The sum required for this purpose
would be about 800, 900, 900.

Days of Vanity.

By CHRISTINA C. ROSSETTI.
A dream that waketh,
Bubble that breaketh,
song whose burden sigheth,
A passing breath,
Smoke that vanishcth.
Such is life that dieth.
A flower that fadeth,
Fruit the tree sneddeth,
Tracklcss bird that iiieth,
Summertime brief,
Falling of the leaf
Such is life that dieth.
A scent exhaling,
Snow waters falling,
Morning dew that drieth.
A sudden blast.
LengtheniDg shadow cast
Such is life that dieth.
A scanty measure,
Rust-caten treasure,
Spending that naught buyeth,
Moth on the wing,
Toll unprofting-
Such is life that dieth.
Morrow by morrow,
Sorrow breeds sorrow,
For this my song sigheth
From day to night
We pass out of sight
Such is life that dieth.

Terrible Accident

Mr.. E. D. Williams, one of the pro
prietors of the Huff House, in Winona
Mimi, was instantly killed on
Wednesday morning, about nine
o'clock, while unscrewing some bolts
upon an old gasometer, preparatory
to removing some old gasoline works
which were used for the Huff House
two years ago. Spontaneous combus-
ton occurred, with loud report, which
explosion set fire to the building.
His body was instantly thrown
through the skylight and found upon
the roof of the building badly charred
and mutilated. By the appearance of
his remains it seems as if his body had
been broken. Mr. Williams was an
old and highly respected citizen of this
place, being connected with several
public enterprises He was President
of the Winona Gas Co., one of the di-
rectors of the Southern Junction Rail
road, and one of the proprietors of the
Huff House. His sad and terrible
death, has cast melancholy gloom
over the entire city.
