Gum-Copal.

CAPT. ELrON, English Consul at Zanzi-
bar, gives an account OF forest Of gum
copal trees standing little back from
the coast and away from the town. The
name given to these trees by the natives
| is Mti Sandaeuss, but they are probably a
species of Hymerga, of natural order
Segumenaso Ito which the peas and To-
cust-.rees belong. The trees are Of gi-
gantic size, on the average measuring
sixty feet in height after the upper
branches were Topped off; four feet three
inches In circumference at the base and
two feet ten inches at the lowest branch,
twenty-one feet from the ground. The
gum is found in liquid state, deposited
between the bark and the wood. Wher-
ever the tree happens to be injured there
the gum collects in considerable quaint.
ties It was also seen by Capt. Elton, in
several instances, on the upper side OF
the branches. In one case deposit was
found at the foot Of tree where q de-
cayed branch had fallen. From this it
seemed probable that where the trees
have fallen to pieces from old age large
quantities of the gum may be found
buried.
Hosts of insects feed upon the MI
SGndasusi. In one branch family of
ants had established large nest behind
a wall of the gum and were rapidly eat
ing to the heart of the wood, while le-
gions of wood-lice had found their way
within the bark to the resinous deposit.
Capt. Elton came to the conclusion that
the ravages of these swarms OF insects
lead to the slow but sure destruction of
the trees. When tree has fallen few
years suffice to bury it under the shift
ing sands which cover the sienna-coloreo
subsoil. Tine slaves accompanying Capt
Elton stated that one could travel two
days toward the interior before leaving
the copal trees; but, at the rate at which
the clearing progresses, it will not be
long ere the entire forest will be cut
down.
Gum-copal trees are found in Mexico,
Brazil, Madagascar and India. The res
in is said to have been originally brought
from MEXICO

The old India mines yielded mostly

impressed the trade with the notion thai
all diamonds from that section were of
this grade. But later on many octabe.
drons were found, which form prevailed
nearly altogether in the recent invoices
from South Africa, that are yielding cut
gems equal in every respect to the old
India quality.
There is q great deal of humbug about
pertness in judgment regarding the quail.
ity of diamonds, and even many good
judges of precious stones pretend to
know more than they really do. Pre-.
tended experts, it need hardly be said,
are "tOO numerous to mention" Some
time ago diamond dealer appeared in
this city who was really q good judgefof
diamonds and who made 1t his especial
boast that he could always recop.
nize an old India stone whenever he
should see it. He was shown diamond
which he at once pronounced an old
India stone, giving his reasons for know.
ing why it was such. He was not a little
chagrined, however, when informed that
the old mine stone" was one imported
from South Africa and cut in work.
shop here. It was the whiteness of the
stone and the beauty of the cutting'which
led the expert to believe it was an India
stone-and who knows but it was an
"old mine" stone, for who Can say that
the mines of Africa are not as "old" as
any others in the world?
Most persons have an idea that the
deeper the stone is the more valuable.
1t is great mistake, for great deal of
the value lies in the skillful manipula-
ton of the gem-reducing 1t to its proper
proportions and enhancing its beauty by
a careful and exact finish There are
very many poorly cut gems in existence
which, if reduced to proper proportions
by skillful cutting, would be far more
valuable than they now are. Good cut
ting is quite as essential as good quality
in diamonds.

Pity.

Pity IL the cheapest charity known to
man. 1t amt worth emmy more to man

it haz ever helpt.
1t kosts nothing and amt worth moth

Thare liz little. if emmy, real charity in
it, for cluss examinashun will reveal
the fakt that pity IL nothing else when
it liz billed down and strained but a Sc
kret kind ov thankfullness that the other
fellow liz wuss off than we are.
Iwould not drive pity from the world
would only like to understand its full
market price.
To be sorry liz cheap, but to put yure
hand in yure pocket kosts sumthing.
l don't want emmy man to xix me when

else that wants doing; rather he
wouldn't, but if he haz got nothing but
pity for me he can pass by on the other
side.
No man waz ever pittyed out ov tite
spot yet.
Pity IL weaker than chicken broth,
and will reduse strong man faster than
the coddling ov mother-in-law the fust
four weeks after he IL marrid.
Pity IL nothing but self luv diluted a
little, and liz one ov the most hypokriti.

Abuse and neglekt will often set the
gaul to work in man if he haz got emmy,
but pity IL like soaking rag in luke.

We allwuss pity thoze the most who
are able to help themselfs the most.
1t liz very eazy for a man to git down
SO low that pity won't reach him-this
shows the heartlessness ov pity.

But 1t soon recovered, and from that pc
Rod there was a gradual and regular ad-
vance of some 10 per cent. per annum in
value until, In 1871, good stones were
worth $3.50 q carat. Rumors Of large
discoveries Of the precious stones in
South Africa soon after checked the adj
vance, and in 1872 decline in prices
commenced, and values became so un
settled that it was difficult to find any
two experts to agree on the real value Of
stones. In 1874 the lowest point was
reached. The decrease in prices soon
became so great that the miners in Sou,h
Africa could not make wages at their
work, SO they abandoned the diamond
fields and went to the newly discovered
gold diggings, which paid better.
After its abandonment by the miners
the diamond country was visited by
heavy rams which filed up most of the
pits and shafts, 80 that no miner could
pump out the water and work to profit.
This put an end to the excessive produc-
ton In that region, and led To an imme-
diate advance In prices at the mines and
q corresponding rise in the g eat diamond
marts OF the world-Amsterdam. London
and Paris, and 1t looks now as ii the bot.
tom Of the decline having been reached
and passed fine quality diamonds ut
least will continue to steadily advance
in price, as they have already advanced
In London 10 per cent. This decline il
by no means new In diamond history.
Precisely the same thing was experienced
q century ago. When the Brazilian mines
were discovered there was, as result
at first decided fall in prices, and after
ward gradual and steady advance. Al
the time Of the Brazilian discoveries there
was also the same kind of prejudice
