THE BONANZA KING.

correspondent OF the Boston Herald tells story OF
James c Flood OF the firm of Flood o'Bren who

says:-J. c. Flood is the name of the man who is at
the head OF that great moncyed institution in San
Francisco which the of the breaking of the

history Of that movement and all its results are wei
known to readers Of the Herald But the history of
the man who was the prime mover of the whole affair
has never yet been printed He was born it is believed
in Ireland, but that point my informant is not
positive. He made hls appearance at Fort Hamilton
many years ago, when he quite a lad and engaged
himself as workman in the wheelwright snop
Of Colonel Church. He accounted good
boy, that is there nothing particularly
bad about him. He flithfu in his work

prevailed on Thomas G.. Church to teach HIM to read
and write and he proved very apt scholar His learn
ing enabled him to take front rank among his fellow
workmen and it is said there are good many
now in existence on Long Island that have peculiar
finish put upon certain parts of them by young Flood
When the California fever broke out there three
companies of troops sent there from Fort Hamilton In
of these companies Flood enlisted and with
them California After serving his time he went into
the mines and came back again 10 the wheewrght shop
at Fort Hamilton with some 50, 900 or SO 600 After
staying short time he married and after with his

A MAGNIFICENT DIAMOND.

From the Salt Lake correspondent of the Omaha Bee
One OF the finest brilliints Ameri and with
romantic history is for sale at the store Of Josln
Park in this city This is 1872 of carat lighter
than tho celebrated Tweed diamond but its cutting is
much better and it considered by experts be
valuable 1t weighs eight and half fcarats and Is exactly
half inch diameter 1t for many hundred years
in the family Of an East India prince. THIS potentate
presented it TO the x.Queen Christina Of Spain, who
presented II to her daughter ex.Quecn Isabella, the
occasion Of her marriage. The forced sell
it, with many other diamonds aud Henle Brothers, OF
New York, bought il at an auction of her diamonds,
which was male in London From thIs nrm
il purchased by a ST. LOUIS gentleman
with about 500 OOO worth Of other diamonds He was
soon after offered Sl5 600 u gold for 6y the Ameri-
Ciuo Of New York but he refused TO sell IT, Suisse
qucny 1t was stolen from him while visiting at Sara
toga Springs by thieves, who employed what IS known
the umbrella game. WnIlc aguting from the cars
spread an umbrella In his face and he started
back the pm was torn from his shirt bosom. The trek
was 50 dcXicrously turned tha the victim did not DIS
his loss for several hours. When, however, ho
found himself minus the wonderiui brilliant, he
promptly teegraphed To the daIy papers OF New YORK
city Offering $4,000 reward and no questions asked In
~cnty four hours bis pm restored and the thieves
were richer the amount OF the reward.
After this the same gentleman came to salt Lake
City and traded his diamond for mining property valued
at :22 600 This mine-the Eureka Zntc-dcyeiopcd
well and the lucky speculator realized S6O,OOO
from hs investment
The miner who received the valuable stone got on a
spree ia Chicago and there he played draw poker with
some gamblers; who, after they had all OF his
money, induced him 70 bet his PIN against S25 900 or
course he lost A New YORK diamond sharp looking
for bargains, made them Oner for tho stone but
II refused. Later however, they tclegmphcd to
New York their acceptance Of his proposition That
telegram found the man Of diamonds at SAT- Lake CITY
who then called Joslin " Park, Of this city and
offered the diamond collateral for large sum Of
money which was advanced and the brilliant was Tor.
Wardcd by express from Chicago A lev weeks after
the gentleman who had obtained the money loan
on The diamond appeared, ana was about 70 redeem the
stone and take u. when JOslin Park offered hiuI
81. 900 his bargain which was accepted Now that
magnificent brilliant the finest in North America, Is
the great attraction at Josn Parks where were

BABCoCK AND GRANT.

That President Grant is absolutely
sincere in his support of Secretary
Brislow in his prosecution of the
"crooked whisky" manipulators. can
not be doubted by any reasonable
man. So far as any evidence has ever
been produced, he has shown no dis
position to shield any one who prefers
thrift to honesty. When Bristow
struck out after the whisky ring, the
expression of President Grant was "let
no guilty person escape" And latter
ly, since accusations have been at first
limited against General Babcock, and
then eliminating in his Indictment, the
President, although undoubtedly at
tached to the General by long and in
innate association, has shown no dis
position to shield him, If guilty; but
repeats the expression, "let no guilty
person escape"
We find the above in the San Fran
cisco Alta. While we would not care
to intimate a belief that the President
has been connected with the whisky
frauds, we are nevertheless of the
opinion that he would quite readily as
sist his confidential secretary out of the
ugly scrape in which he finds himself;
else, why did he appoint that Court OF
Inquiry, when two grand juries-one
in st. Louis the other in I~ndiana-were
appealing to Babcock to come forward
and make a showing of his connection
with the whisky thieves? Indeed, Il
has finally leaked out that the Court
of Inquiry programme was all cut and
dried at a meeting Of the Cabinet
with the especial view of white
washing the dishonest scribe. Pres
ident Grant we'll knew that a
military court had no legitimate
jurisdiction over the matter, and when
he complied with Babcock's prear
ranged request, he committed a blum
der for which he will hardly be ex-
cused when all of the facts are once
made public.
