WHAT is TO BE DONE ON THE 2Gru INST.
In LaGrange, at Athens, Macon and mapv
| other portions of the State, active work Is
going on preparatory to the offices of deco
rating Confederate soldiers graves on the
Goth inst. In years past this holiday has
been duly observed by the larger portion
of our citizens, and such tribute of afHsc.
ton to our dead heroes as is symbolized bv
the floral offerings of fair women and ma.
triotic men, was beautifully illustrated at
the Laurel Grove Cemetery. The day
was taken up even to night in paving
devotion to those loved and hopored
heroes who sacrificed home and all the com
forts of life for cause in which both had
an equal interest, and which we believed
was just one. However, that cause has
been settled long since by the arbitration
of the sword, and it only remains for us
now to remember the slain with the affec-
ton and unceasing devotion of a grateful
and loving people, and certainly in this
matter Savannah will not forget her pres.
tige. We know she will not, aud hone the
matter will be looked into and proner ar
Engagements be made at the earliest time

that those great aud loved men have passed |
away, the one in battle for his country. and |
the other in serving his fellow men ia civil |
life as scholar and a patriot, and that to !

DEGREES IN DIAMONDS.

Writing of diamonds and their color, the
Brooklyn Eagle says: "Few people are aware
Of the many gradations Of color through which
this precious stone ranges, nor are they cog
infant OF the effects these tints have on the
commercial value Of the stone. Of course. the
first place is accorded to what isealIed dia.
mond of pure water. This means a perfectlv
colorless stone, free from every possible shade.
Perhaps the lowest place is given to yellow
stone, though there is peculiarly ruddy
brown, most delicate shade, which amateurs
especially prize. The reasons for lowering the
standard Of the yellow diamond are simply
the law of supply and demand. If 1t re-
sembles slightly the tint of: the topaz, 1t has,
however, an inherent fire aud brilliancy
which make the humber topaz become abso-
lutely dim by comparison. The diamond
known as the Australian yellow, OF one hun.
dred and thirty-nine. and half carats, is of
this nature, but unfortunately so deep In tone
mond, where the azure of the sapphire Is
combined with the natural lustre of the dla-
mond; the rose-colored, Initiating the fire Of
the ruby, and the green diamond, rlvalllDg
the emerald, are rarer shades. When these
colors are intense, when the depth OF tone is
positive, they become rarities OF untold price,
and are fancy stones, on which no positive
black diamonds, save for the Industrial arts,
have, as ornaments, no especial worth. Some
very remarkable experiments have been in
stituted in Order 10 change the color of dia-
monds. It would be secret worth untold
fortunes could we succeed In even deprlving
yellow diamond of it's unpopular tint. 1t
was supposed at one time that this could be
effected through the agency Of heat. Faint
yellow stones, by long subsection to the fur.
nance heat, were convertible Into pale; rose,
colored diamonds; but unfortunately after a
certain lapse of time they slowly but surely
resumed their original tint. - '-'' .i.tH

How THE DOCTORS TREATED THE PRINCE OF
WALEs.-The later medical treatment of the
Prince has presented a popularity which, con-
sidering the eminence of his physicians, is
worth mentioning. The prince having been
unable to sleep during nearly two days and
nights, a hop.pillow was placed under his
head, aud after some hours he sank TO ftful
sleep. The hop-pil.ow has been continued, and
there is reason to believe Its soporihc effect
has been felt In the repose which has at last
brought with 1t hope Of recovery. During the
time when death seemed imminent a butcher
stood In an adjoining room with lamb, ready
at moments notice TO fay 1t, that the warn
and reeking skin might swathe the Princes
extremities should they have shown signs O
-coldness.-M.D d. Conway-London Lete,

killed Peter Wilkes (colored) on Saturday.
The deed Is said to have been committed In
self defence. Blair was bailed to-day by Judge
Moses in the sum Of fifteen hundred dollars on
the application of VIM. T. Gary. PICKET.
Another Account
From the Edgefed Advertiser.
On the 9Th instant. near Rocky Ponds, on
the west side of the district, q colored man,
named Peter Wilkes, was shot and killed by
that Well-known citizen, Columbus L. Blair,
Eeo. It seems that Mr.. Blair had lent shot
gun to his oyerseer, white man BY the name
of Coleman, who in turn had lent the gun to
wilkes, who was hired on the place, wilkes
having kept the gun an undue time, Mr. bar
sent to request its return, which was refused
to see If he could get the gun. on his
way he met negro girl bringing him the gun.
Taking possession OF the gun, he went on 70
where Wilkes was to query him as 20 tne
meaning of his conduct. Wilkes meS nin
in evil spirit and with angry words, ana
selling bed rail- advanced and assaulted MIN.
Mr.. Blair parried bis blows with the gun,
which was not loaded, and the barrel OF whlcn
was soon broken of. After this, wilkes con.
tinuing his assault, Mr. Blair drew his pistol
and shot him. From all we can learn, ana
from the testimony of eye-wltnesses lhem-
selves, this appears to have been an unmls-
taxable case Of self-defence.
