TIE pIAMoND ERA.

The golden era, the silver age, the
oil epoch and other interesting period'
of popular excitement, resulting
valuable discoveries, bid fair now to DC
ecllpsed by the diamond era, just now
fairly dawning upon this nation and
h rest Of the world. Golconda, Bra
III. South Africa and other famous
spo,s where the precious stones have
been found are Insignificant and hardly
worthy Of mention, compared with n
broad diamond fields Of Wyoming
discovered but q few weeks ago. where
every other pebble Is q diamond or a
ruby, or something precious; where
even the Industrious ants root and
tumble them about In digging their 1T
tie holes, and only use them for curb
ing or walling around the surface OF the
same, and forming their little hillocks'
All along the western slope OF the ST.
ezra Nevada diamonds are now known
to exist, and the old worked out dig
pings Of Butte county and other parts
Of the California gold region arc as
suming q new, and valuable import
ance, from the discovery Of diamonds
and rubies therein. Even now the old
tailings IRON miners slulcss are being
eagerly overhauled in search Of nu-
merous valuable diamonds, supposed
to have been shoveled or forked out In
veal past, and the arrivals Of rich lots
OF the coveted stones are almost daily
recorded ihiSan Francisco. Next sea-
son the prospect Is that they will be
brought In by the bushel from all parts
OF the coast, as we'll az from the Rocky
Mountains; and who knows but what
even the Comstock range might con-
tribute q few?
What Is going to DO the affect Of this
afiuence Of diamonds? Will they be-
come disgustingly common and cheap,
so that ordinary hoodlums can AMOR
TO wear them In unlimited abundance,
and they will no longer DO the insignia
or synonym OF high toned wealth, and
other and rarer stones have to be sub
stituted? The commercial Importance
of haYing diamonds in adequate album
danes can hardly be overestimated'
Then the ordinary hand drill will oe
totally superseded In our mines BY the
diamond drill. and much more ef'
Elective and durable, and capable
Of penetrating where steel Is al
a disadvantage. A process will DC
discovered for melting the little dia'
mouds like glass, and moulding them
into any desirable size and shape, ano
perhaps diamond bar tumolers and
window panes may come Into ordinary
use. Who knows?

The New West Church.

CONTINUATION OF THE DEDIcAToRY SERVICES.
Tuesday evening, the Rev DIR. withrow, Of
Philadelphia, preached-many say the best ser
mon Of the course-to large and deeply inter
ested congregation. On Sabbath last, cordial
invitation was extended by the West Church to
all the Presbyterian churches of the city to unite
with them in a social prayer-meeting. The
meeting was held last evening and those who
were present felt it was good to be there. This
room is seated with chairs the devotional ex-
ercises are conducted by the pastor in the most
informal manner and the meeting seems more
like few friends in private parlor freely CON
versing on the subject Of religion, than a church
prayer-meeting. The whole atmosphere is fra
ternal and spiritual, and the hour is gone before
you are aware Of it.
At ~, this evening, the Rev. Herrick johnson
ID. D., successor to the late and lamented Albert
Barnes, will preach, doubtless to full house.
Tomorrow evening, Rev, Professor W. II. Green
D. D., l.. l.. D.. Of Princeton Theological Semi
nary, will preach. DR.. Green is one OF the first
Biblical Scholars and oriental linguists Of our
country.
