THE DIAMONDS.
They are Sent to London for Identifoa- tion-The Latest Phase of the Precious Stone Excitement

They are Sent to London for Identihca-
 tiou-The Latest Phase of the Precious
 Stone Excitement
 The diamonds-the diamonds which ere ated the first precious-stone excitement which were exhibited in the Bank of Cali fornia, upon which Mir Harpendng dilated when Cau Reporter interviewed him-over which Mir Lent kept watch and ward in his office, while the eager crowd flowed in to view them-have all been sent to London. One or two of the leading spirits have of course ac- companied the precious parcel, and this may account for the absence from the city of one or two men who have the glory of having started the diamond excitement. The reason that the stones have been sent to London IS somewhat curious. As our readers know, there has always been dense atmosphere of suspicion about the reported. rich strike in Ari- zona. Some of the Directors in the Compa- ny-General Mcclellan, for instance-value their characters too highly to allow their names to be associated with dubious enter prise, and lave therefore resolved to sift the whole matter of the diamond discoveries to the bottom. A telegram came to this city the other day from London, and was publish ed in the CaN The telegram reported that London dealers in precious stones had sold large quantities of diamonds in the rough to Americans, who had bought without regard to value, size, or shape; and the dealers had put the Arizona discovery and these sales together in an unpleasant manner. Some oi the Directors of the Company insisted that the diamonds about which the excitement was raised in this city, should be sent to London, so that the dealers might identify them, if they should prove to be the same as those which they had sold to the Ameri- cans;" or should they not prove to be the same, might, by saying that they were not, clear the good name of the Company in one very unpleasant particular. The denoucment will be watched for with interest. In the meantime, our citizens are not very full of faith; and one prominent Montgomery street jeweller said, yesterday, to Cau reporter, that he had not the least idea that the dia- monds in question had ever been in Arizona at all.--San Francisco Gull.

About Baking.

used to think that to bake any thing well, the oven must be as hot as it could be without burning the article to be baked, all the time that it was baking. This IS not the case with anything except crackers and cook ies.
 For biscuits, the oven should be equally hot when they are put in, but should begin to cool little before they are taken out; {; this makes them very light, but one has to watch to keep them from being scortched j; eight minutes are enough to bake them; II baked with such fire as that required for bread they are heavy.
 For germs made of graham four and water, or corn bread, the oven should be very hot, but the fire should have been built some time before they are put in, and begin to go down by the time they arc light; for if the oven remains as hot ss was necessary to make them rise, they will burn before they get thoroughly cooked.
 Bread requires much slower fire, but 1t should be even and steady from the first to last.
 Cake requires a still slower fire than bread, but it must not be too slow or the cake will not be thoroughly cooked through, and will fall when taken from the oven. If the fire IS too hot at first, it will crust over before 1t is light. burst through the crust and rise tough and homely. If the cake is large, some nails or bits of iron should be placed under 1t, and paper spread over it; else it will scortch before 1t is cooked through. Any kind of bread or pastry mixed with water requires hotter fire than if mixed with milk.
 Fruit pies require hotter fire than bread, but steady from first till last; if too hot at first the crust will cook before the fruit does; if too slow, towards the last the crust will dry up before the fruit is done; if too hot towards the last the fruit will stew out be- fore the crust is done. Pumpkin pies require . fire as hot as can be without burning the crust.
 Custard pies require slow fire, else they will boil and whey out before they are done But buildings require hot fire, particularly Indian pudding, for they are all the better for being wheyed out.
 In baking meat pies always leave hole in the top crust, else poisonous gas will collect in it.
 For baking meat the fire should never be hot enough to burn the grease pork and chickens require hotter fire than beef. We talk about hot, quick and slow ovens, but it takes long experience to enable one to tell by the feeling, or in other practical manner, just how hot an oven is, until we see its effect on the article cooked, and then ia Is too late; and it is impossible to commu- nicste to any one else the precise tempera- ture which IS represented by our ideas of hot quick, etc.

issues of the campaign and all outside interests should
be held as subsidiary. No at all acquainted with
Greeley-and the whole American nation have known

they can command the following OF the rank and rle OF
the party remains yet TO be SEEM but IL Is well known
that their influence Is great. The Indictment which
these "Bolters" bring against President Grant and
his Administration, the justification for their revolt,
NAV easily be understood. During the war OF the Re

But the war ceased years ago-and the Constu-

The resolution OF The Republican CONVENTION
OF this State In relation to amnesty Is untruthful IL
that the cry for amnesty intended to deceive
people concealment Of the fact that those lately
