Ilearn from high authority, writes
a London correspondent, that the es-
timated value of all the diamonds
which have been discovered at the
diamond fields in South Africa during
the last three years does not fall far
short of ten millions sterling. Many
of the gems are of inferior quality,
that is to say, of a yellowish color.
The largest pure white stone weighed
between 20 and so carats, and the
largest aoffcolored'' 1884 carats. 1t
is right to add that large gems are by
no means exceptional, the discovery
of stones Of a weight varying from
40 to 80carats being common enough.
AS is well known, the value Of dia-
monds in the European market has
been greatly deprecated by the enor-
nous quantity exported to this part
of the world from the Cape, but the
prices of colored stones have been
more affected than those of the purer
qualities.

The Chinese .ssInops."

Both at Canton and Hong Kong
indeed everywhere in China q
stranger will be attracted by tne
UNIQUE appearance of the Chinese
shops. During the day they are
thrown entirely open in front, with
the wares tastefully arranged on tne
other three sides of the apartment, a
small stairway in one corner leading
to the upper or dwelling portion of
the house. These shops are very
models of neatness, some of them
containing a varied assortment of
costly wares, and occasionally works
of art; while the owners, with their
long queues and costly silken gar
ments, sit in their places of business
like princes in their drawing rooms,
exhibiting a quiet dignity, and even
courtliness, strangely unlike the man
ners of the races about them. Every
line of merchandise is duly repre-
sented- silks, teas, fancy goods, lac
quered wares, jewelry, plate, time
pieces, books, musical instruments,
birds nests, confections, drugs; ev-
erything that can be called for, native
and foreign, is now obtainable in the
large cities on the coast, so rapid has
been the improvement in the last
twenty years. But the ushering in of
the new epoch has not entirely ban
ished the old, as witness the stores
where gods are made and sold for sill
yer dollars! Ay, and warranted"
too-a god of wealth 'sure to makee
glow liche," says the polite vender;
gods of fair weather and guardians
of health; gods for the sailor and for
the farmer-for every condition of
life, every emergency, and at all
prices. Among the most attractive
of the shops are the fruit and flower
stalls, usually adorned with pretty
bird-cages, while John Chinaman
deals out his dainty wares, served in
exquisite porcelain or glass, with
lavishing salaams and courtly words.
Few visitors at Canton will fail to re-
call the shop of the venerable San
Qua on Old China street, or the gen
tie breeding of the accommodating
owner with his frosted hair and long
walded gown of dark silk. Huge
silken lanterns hung at the entrance,
and at the upper end was the iney
table altar, never wanting in either
dwelling or place of business, on
which fresh offerings of tea, cakes,
and fruit were laid every morning,
and incense burned perpetually. The
old man said the fire had never once
gone out since the days of his grand
father, who built and furnished the
house, to which San Qua had duly
succeeded, and which his son would
inherit after him. Said son was a
frolicsome little five-year-old, exu-
berent with bOisterous mirth, the
child of San Qua's old age and his in
separable companion. 1t was beauti-
ful to see them thus together, the
weary old man seeming to grow
young again in loving contemplation
of the child's merry pranks; and the
little one always tender and gentle
when he approached the doting sire,
whose years and infrmities were an
enigma his fresh young nature sought
in vain to comprehend From "A
tour in the China Seas" by Fannie r.
Feudge, in Lippincott's Magazine for
August.

"I'll master it." said the ak, and
his blows fell heavily on the iron
but every blow made his edge more
blunt, till he ceased to strike.

with his relentless teeth he worked

stroke off flew his head, and the iron

A NORTH CAROLINA belle recently
took quite horseback ride near
Morgantown in that State. She was
riding rapidly with a gentleman
down long slope when the gentle
mans horse tumbled and fell. The
lady's horse cleared both him and
rider at one leap, and then became
quite uninanageable. Two hundred
yards further on a narrow lane was
blockaded by negro, mule and cart
square across it. Her horse was ca
reering at full speed. To pass round
was impossible, to stop equally SO;
but the agile animal at one fearful
bound, cleared negro, mule and cart.
The charming equestrienne never for
a moment lost her balance, and was
laughing gayIy when her horse was
checked two miles further on.
