The New York Herald is oppos-
ed to allowing young men to preach
the Gospel. 1t says:
The most important interest that
can be committed to men-thc care
of souls-is handed over to striplings
of twenty or twenty-five years ofage,
whose ideas and beliefs are ever
changing, while men of thirty or for
ty years of age, with fixed principles
and settled ideas, have bare chance
of entering the ministry at all because
of their years. And this partly,
though not wholly, accounts for the
fact that nearly one-half the churches
in America are without pastors or
regular preaching.

DIAMONDS.
from the Eureka Sentinel, August 3l.l

From the Eureka Sentinel, August 3l.l
The Virgins Chronicle places Louie
La Page OH the stand to tell what he
knows about diamonds and things.
La Page, according to his own story,
travelled extensively in the diamond
country twenty.three years ago. While
sloshing around among the Apaches he
claims to have picked up from the bot
tom of q small creek a diamond ''about
the size of q turkey egg" and also n
uuart of rubies. Lumps OF pure gold
aS large as a mans fiat were likewise
seen by him among the Indians. Now,
W. like a good thing, and candor COM
pels us to admit that La Page Is tho
most e%xtravagant rs we'll rs romantic
diamond sharp that has yet come to
the surface. His explorations were
not confined exclusively to Arizona
and New Mexico. He has also traV-
eled extensively in the Yellowstone
country. We remember to have once
heard him relate an incident OF n trip
up the Missouri river OIL q steamboat.
Ii happened to be about the season OF
tie veal that the buffalo were travel
Ing north. The boat encountered n
drove of them crossing the river, and,
according to la Page, the whole face
| of the earth was covered with them for
| miles and miles around They entered
the river In a compact herd two miles
wide, aud were three whole days and
nights In crossing the boat, In the
meantime, being unable to proceed,
was tied up to n tree. We have only
this to say In conclusion /: That If any
one will swallow that herd OF buffalo,
we will at least attempt to gulp down
that diamond "about the size Of 4 tur.
key egg"

A dispute has arisen between the an
thorities Of the Atlantic Cable and the
New York Associated Press, as to the
averaged time occupied In the trans
mission Of messages between London
and New York. The Atlantic Cable
men say that during the week ending
July Goth, the average time was four
teen minutes. On the other hand the
Associated Press says that during the
week specified the average time Of for
ty-eight messages sent from London
to the Associated Press Of New York
was forty-nine minutes and twenty sec
onds. Two messages were transmitted
In twenty minutes each, three in be.
tween twenty and thirty minutes each,
eleven in between thirty and forty
minutes each, fourteen IN between
forty and fifty minutes each, six In be-
tween fifty and sixty minutes, eleven
in over an hour each, and n occupied
two hours and four minutes. The As
ISOLATED Press claims that either the
messages Of some OF the customers OF
tho Cable are systematically delayed
or that the statement Il incorrect that
the average time OF dispatches Is four
teen minutes.

LAURA D. FAIR.

Tho announcement that the second
trial Of Laura ID. Fair for the murder
OF A. Z. C%rittenden would commence
yesterday morning, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle Of yesterday attracted a
large crowd Of the morhidly curious to
listen to the proceedings, aud upon
the opening of the Court there wa
hardly n foot Of standing room left.
Mrs. Fair appeared In Court, and sat
near her counsel, dressed in deep black
and looking as well as at any time
during the last few months of her lm-
prisonment. Judge Dwinelle was OH
the Bench ; District Attorney Murphy
and Alexander Cambell Jr, were pres
ent Oh the part of tho people, aud
Leander Quint of this city and n.
Greene Curtis of Sacramento on behalf
Of the prisoner. Judge Dwinelle APP
pears somewhat Ill, and after Court
was opened stated that owing to the
recent Illness with which no has been
afflicted he found that he was incapac-
ltated from serving In his judicial Ca
pacity at present, and would have to
postpone further hearing IN the case
until mex Monday, when he thought
that a magistrate will have been
appointed by Governor Booth to serve
In his stead. The jurors impaneled to
serve were excused until that time,
and it is ordered that they must be
present at that time or they will be
liable to be fined for contempt ofCourt
Considerable difficulty Is experienced
in getting n Of the District Judges
to consent to preside In Judge Dwi-
nelie's place during the trial, and 1t
Is desirable that the consent ola Judge
be obtained before asking the Cover
o to commission him, hence no one
has yet been commissioned to preside.

THE CONFERENCE OF THE EM.
PERORS.

The meeting Of the three rulers Of
Russia, Prussia and Austria, at Berlin,
Is causing much discussion rs to the
objects sought to be attained by these
powerful magnates. Monarchs are not
apt to visit one another merely for the
purpose of exchanging courtesles. But
there arc problems to be discussed
which trouble these crowned heads. the
solution Of which IL extremely difficult.
The eastern question, the course Of the
papal government, aud the wonderful
recuperative energy which France has
displayed, the unparalleled rapidity
with which the recent loan for Goo,-
900, 900 was taken, and the great ill.,
crease Of the French army Is causing
Prussia some uneasinesS. She feels
we'll assured that France ere long Will
try her strength with her in the at
tempt to ecove her lost provinces on
the Rhine. Austria Is jealous OF fur
Their Entertainments on the part Of
Prussia; for there Is but little doubt
that the scheme of German unity and
solidity includes the German provinces
ruled over by the house Of Hap'burg.
Russia keeps close watch over the
movements OF the "sick man." Tur-
key, feeling we'll sssured that sooner
or later that effete government must
be divided I'D as Poland was, and she
Is determined to have Constantiuople
as her most valuable seaport. She ex-
cessively dislikes the idea Of being
cooped up in the Black Sea, and will
never DO contcuted until Turkey Is
dismembered. Russia has declared to
Theirs that the object Of the conference
does not Include France, but this de-
~claration will not be credited by the
latter power.
Whatever may be agreed upon by
these three great Powers Is matter OF
considerable interest to Americans.
Should a general war ensus, we will
be the gainers, as Europe, In that
event. will require our bread-stuffs
England could hardly keep out OF it.
which would cause American ships to
be In such demand that they would BE-
largely increased In numbers and tun-
mage. Another consequences Of u war
with the great Powers Of Europe
would be an immense increase of our
population, as the exodus Of Germans.
after tho late war between France and
Germany, demonstrates. However
much We may deprecate a war in
Europe we must not put out of view
the great advantages which will accrue
to the United States should one occur.
We have land enough for all the OPP
pressed and m~isgoverned people OF the
old world, anu we extend to them n
cordial invitation to come and dwell
with US.
