A Hundred Weight of Gems in san
Francisco--The Route to the Dig
gings.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
About ten days ago the Pacific Diamond
and Ruby Mining Company received a
large consignment of precious stones from
the diamond fields discovered by them.
Capt. Thomas Buckley, who discovered
these fields shortly after the breaking out
of the diamond excitement last summer,
and under whose superintendent the
stones were collected, returned with them,
the consignment of jewels brought back by
him is much larger than originally stated
and the company now have on deposit in
the Office of B. E. 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 The stones average about the
size of pea, and, while many are doubtless
garnets and worthless quartz crystals, there
are many valuable diamonds and rubiei
in the collection. They have been tested
by competent lapidaries, who pronounce q
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 sold. Ever
In their rough state there are many
lustrous gems, which will cut to brilliantS
of great value. The company have force
| ofmen at work on the grounds now, most
of them Indians from neighboring re
servation.
Capt. Buckley locates his diggings il
latitade Sc degrees north, longitude I'll

Capt. Buckley gives the route traversed
by him as follows: From San Francisco
to Denver, Colorado, by Pacific railroad
from Denver TO Pueblo, by narrow, gauge
railroad from Pueblo to Santa Fe, 321
miles by stage. The distance from Santa

This route is by Fort Wingate, 100 mile
from Santo Fe, and by Fort Defiance, 81

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
How to Pluck Poultry.


That farmer whose poultry is not trou-
bled with the gapes, that has not been
troubled with the chicken cholera, knows
what it is to prepare forty or fifty fowls for
market since the practice of scalding has
been vetoed by the buyers. have known
persons on market day to go out and kill
dozen or fifteen at a time and bring them
into room where there would be half a
dozen women and boys pulling few
feathers at time between the thumb and
forefnger to prevent tearing them. Now,
for the benefit of such give our plan:
Hang the fowl up by the feet by a
small cord then with small knife give
one cur across the upper jaw, opposite the
corners of the mouth; after the blood has
stopped running stream, place the point
of the knife in the groove in the upper
part of the mouth, run the blade up into
the back part of the head, which will
cause quivering and twitching of the
muscles; now is your time, for every
feather yields as if by magic, and there is
10 danger of tearing the most tender
chick before he attempts to flap, you can
have him as bare as the day he came out
of the egg. The wise ones may discuss
the reasons-I only know the Effects

the ends of the brace must be beveled to

APPLE DUMPLINGs.-They can be made

vi course, L am saying nothing but what
every good housekeeper knows already,
when L recommend that the dough, if it
may be so called, should be made of one
part of -four to six parts potatoes, boiled
and mashed thoroughly, and every lump
removed. 1t makes a good paste, and the
dumplings can be enjoyed by every one
without the fear of unpleasant results
DRIED BoUoUETs.-The prettiest bou-
| quets we have ever seen of the kind we
have been describing were made thus:
The background was of fern, and to every
leaf or cluster of leaves was added a
small sprig of fern, the whole iuterspersed
with light fealhery grasses, which can be
gathered in the woods Or fields at any
time during the fall. They were then
tied tightly, to prevent there becoming
disarranged when removed from the vases
to be cleansed, which can be done by
blowing the breath on shem. They
should never be shaken. Blowing them
lightly is sufficient to take off all the
dust.
CUsTARD WITHOUT EGGs-To one quart
of new milk one teaspoonful of rennet-
wine, or small piece of rennet. little
lemon, nutmeg or vanilla, or any spice you
prefer, and one teaspoonful of sugar to
each quart Of milk. If too sweet the milk
will not set firmly or quickly Stir all
together, and set by the stove or near the
fire; cover closely. It should begin to
stiffen in an hour. 1t it does not, add
more Wine or rennet. When firm, before
the whey separates, take out the piece of
rennet If the skin was used, and set on ice
till dinner. To be eaten with sugar and
rich cream. Nutmeg is always an i'm.
provement, even If lemon or vanilla is
used.
The wine-rennet is nicer than simply
the skin, and it is a good idea to keep a
bottle with a piece of rennet in always on
hand, as it is often desirable to have it
ready.

cold Discoveries.

Almost simultaneously with the re-
ported wonderful discovery of the
golden island of Aruba comes an auri.
ferrous tale of the nugget finding in
Guyana. The mines in this instance
are said to be on the banks of the
Oronoco, in a tropical paradise, where
the earth produces spontaneously all
that the stomach of man can digest,
where the natives are anxious to work
for nothing, and where emigrants can
not help becoming millionaires. The
richest fields are said to be on the
upper end of the delta of the Oronoco,
and were known to the early Spaniards.
This story will answer very well as a
companion place to the Aruba sensa.

At noonday in the crowded street

Unnoting aught, till suddenly
A face flashed by me like star.
A moment seen-then swift the throng
Closed jealousy about its prize,
And all the memory left to me
Was this-she had blue eyes.

They were too shy, too full of spring

A girl-sours April blossoming.

Their color in my heart.

COOLIE MASSACRE In DEMERARA.
Particulars of the Murderous Riot
Wanton BIoodshed.

b WantOn B1OOdshed.
KINGSTON, Ja., October rs, 1972.-
CooEe riots in Dem erara, which have
been of somewhat frequent occurrence,
assumed a rather serious aspect at Es-
sequebo lately, where order was
restored after five of the rioters had
been shot and seven wounded. The
following account of the affair is taken
from the Creole:
A band of coolies rebelled against
authority IN Essequebo last week, and
were only quoted after the loss of six
lives. It appears that the immigrants
of plantation Devonshire Castle have
for some time past been dissatisfied
with the rate OF wages paid them This
| dissatisfaction eliminated on Friday,
September 9th, by a band of them
leaving the estate and proceeding to
the magistrate Of the district. Mr..
Lougfran, to demand what they assert
ed to be their rights. The magistrate
promised to investigate the matter and
to see justice done. But the coolies
feigned or felt belief that their as
sumed wrongs would not be fairly con-
sidered, and therefore openly express
ed their determination at once to re
turn to Devonshire Castle and wreck
the estate. Upon this Mr.. Loughran,
with Police Inspector Griffin and
small body of police, gathered as
quickly as possible, and proceeded af-
ter the coolies to the estate Arrived
there, the latter were found to have
taken possession of the buildings on
the estate, and replied by threats and
ieers to the demand of Mr.. Loughran
to dispense and return peaceably to
their work. At length, matters becom-
ing momentarily more serious, Mr.
Loughran read the riot act, taking care
that the rioters should be made &C
quainted by an interpreter with its
provisions; and for an hour after read
ing it the magistrate used all his pow
ers of persuasion to induce the coolies
to return to their houses and
avoid bloodshed, but this they steadily
refused to do. At this stage of
the proceedings, when, it Is stated,
orders were about being given for a
bayonet charge, the backia stick of one
of the rioters is said to have struck the
hammer of the gun belonging to one of
the policemen; it went off, killing a
man, and was followed by the discharge
of some ten more muskets from the
members of the force, who. it is said,
fired under the impression that orders
had been given to that effect The re-
suit of the volley was the death of six
coolies, and seven others were wounded.
| The effect upon the coolies appears to
have been instantaneous. They fed in
all directions, and quickly afterwards
returned to and have since remained at
their work, Submissive and obedient to
an extent seldom seen in this colony.

Palm Wine.

The sap of the palm tree runs quite
freely from an incision through the
bark. It is put into skin bottles, or
rather bags. by African wine-makers,
in which it undergoes slight degree
of fermentation, and is soon ready for
use. Every time the mouth of the bag
is united for taking drink, it foams
and sputters very much like spruce
beer. Although all the gas may escape,
shortly after being tied up again, there
is another volume ready to fzzle as be-
FORE
Christian travellers are quite as fond
of palm wine as natives. Without be-
ing much of stimulant, it has a relish
that meets the demands of the system
in hot climate far better than any
other drink. Of course it is in univer-
sal demand, and costs nothing but the
labor of gathering the sap from the
nearest tree, without asking leave.
