every incentive to be honest, has

that the proofs of corruption are

Mr.. Isaac Hermann, ofNew York,
has introduced into this country the
art of diamond cutting, in which
the Dutch had virtually had a mo-
nopoly time out of mind. 1t will
be remembered that the Koh-i-noor
was cut, some twenty years ago, by
workmen brought eve from AM
sterdam to London. Mr.. Hermann,
an eminently skilled artificer (his
father was a diamond-setter in
West Prussia), has 80 thoroughly
mastered the difficulties that his
Judgment and taste enable him to
cut and polish diamonds with
smaller loss of weight than the
Dutch artists can effect. The Koh-
i-noor, whose weight was 1855 carats
in 1851, was reduced to 123 carats
by the process of cutting in 1852.
Mr.. Hermann has brought a new
and rare art into this country.
