and economy he got together $500 to.

half enough. The future of the loving
and unfortunate pair was of inky black.

perceptible through the surrounding
darkness. In the labyrinths of China

conquest would result in glory and

master without display, and ali her
wearing apparel, perhaps $500 in value,
was burned at her grave.

DIAMOND LAND.

Hundred Weight Of Gems I'm Snn
F. ra ncisco--T Route to tho Dig
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
About ten days ago the Pacific Diamond
and Ruby Mining Compan, received
large consignment of precious etones from
the diamond fields discovered by them.
Capt. Thomas Buckley, who discovered
these fields shortly after tho breaking out
of the diamond excitement last summer,
and under whose superintendent the
stones were collected, returned with them,
aud is now in this city. 1t transpires that
tho assignment of jewels brought back by
him is much larger than originally stated
and the company now have on deposit in
the Office of B. f. Sherwood, one hundred
pounds of uncut stones, gathered on their
grounds since August, and PANIED out Of
the gravel by hand. The stones were
yesterday shown to reporter by Mr.. Sher-
wood. There are diamonds, rubies, sap.
phires, emeralds and garnets in the COL
lection. Ihe stones average about the
size Of q pea, and, while many are doubtless
garnets and worthless quartz Crystals, there
are many valuable diamonds and rubies
in the collection. They have been tested
by competent lapidaries, who pronounce a
large proportion Of them valuable gems.
None Of the stones have been cut, but in a
few days the entire collection will be sent
to Frankfort, Germany, and scld. Even
in their rough state there are manv
iustrous gems, which will cut to brilliants
OF great value The company have q force
OF men at work on the grounds now, most
Of them Indians from neighboring re-
sorvation.
Capt. Buckley locates his diggings in
Latitude 36 degrees north, longitude Ill
degrees west from Greenwich, and about
SO miles westerly from Fort Defiance.
This brings us into Northwestern Arizona.
Capt. Bulkley gives tue route traversed
by him Us follows: From Sun Francisco,
to Denver, Colorado, by Pacific railroad
from Denver TO Pueblo, by narrow, gauge
railroad from Pueblo to Santa Fe, 81
miles by stage. The distance from Santa
Fe to the diamond feeds is about 300 miles
westerly, with no public conveyance.
This route is by Fort Wingate, 100 miles
from Santo Fe, and by Fort Defiance, GO
miles from Wipgate, which last post is SO
miles from the fields, situated about IS

Barefoot.

O, don't you remember the old hillside farm.
And the farmhouse with clapboards so
gray,
With tho garden OF roses, and sweet pinks,
and balm,
And the M adows with buttcrcups gay?
And don't you remember how, in doors and

And under the old orchard trees,
The gay, laughing children were skipping
With bare feet, as busy as bccs2
How VIC all played together, the girls and tho
AM. had houses, and workshops and stores,
RaS babies and ''cartllcns," and just rs mucl,
noise
AS our voices could make out Of doors!
How we loved through the pastur and wood

We Thought then, us now, there was ''no place

And no home SO delightful as oursl

With tho lessons We learned, and the & mark ~

And how We played "pizzeu at noon?
Our sunbonnets. crum"lcd, hung over our

The summer wind played with our hair:
While the sun paid our faces it's warmcst

And kissed our white toes that went bare.
How we climbed the steep hi!l-sidcs as nimble

And skipped DER tho lodges in glee;
we mm, tl the woodlark and whippoorwill's
And snng. will, the chick-a-dec-1ce.

Or played on its banks III the summers soft

You remember tho pond where the geese used
to swim,
How we called it the ocean SO wide,
And i'll an old hat that was minus tho brim,
We sailed our rag dolls on its tide?
| And when they had cruiscd all the wide ocean
through,
We drew them all home in an old aged shoe,
And called 1t coach ride thew took.
How VIC danced in tho mud with our bare,

And played twas the Dutch way to churnl
We made US mud biscusts and plumcake SO

Without any cookbook to learn.
How we .pitied tho children whose stockings

While we stirred up our buildings. and pas.

And lett them to cook in the sun.
Our parents were happy our sports to behold,
And oft in our laughter would share;
They said soon enough would their darliues

And take up ife's burden of care.
