Facts for Miners.

Miners ate generally not fami jar With the appearance Ot di.inOnGo Tn the rough state, and would most likely mistake them, if found, for chalced0ny, or Some similar tnin- erai. If ln crystal form, one would ne to them crystal uniy- interesting for ti,e moment, io ne soon thrown aside as useless. We have heard Of case where q beautiful crystal, supposed to be q diamond, being found in some placer mine in California, was put tOthe following test: 1t was placed on an anvil and struck a heavy blow with a sledge hammer, it heinz assumed that the diamond, being the hardest Of known sub. stances, could not broken. This idea is more ancient than Is generally supposed The state. ment has been made by Pliny, but it is doubtful ii he ever made the experiment. h i m st If. In speaking of a diamond, he says that 1t cannot be crushed, but would split hammers and anviIs in the attempt. 1t is certain that this is mistake. The diamo ond can be split on the edge of a knife |, and even a light blow with han- mer mig ght destroy the most cost ly gem.
 It requires practice to judge of of the diamond in its rough state. 4 rough diamond of the first wa. ter would hardly be recognized by the uneducated eye as a valua- ble gem. Many of the character. istlcs of the diamond, are visihle only in it's cut state. Half the stone is sometimes cut away be- fore a perfect gem can be pro- duced. The diamond washers of Brazil rub the stones together and produce a peculiar grating sound, rom which they assume to judge of their value.
 There is d peculiar appearance about rough diamonds which can hardly be described IL is quea- tionable if any written description would convey a correct idea oE what they are exactly like. IL is easy to say that they possess a pc culiar lUstre like spermaceti, hut who would feel certain Of the identity of d diamond from tuch a description? Once seen, this pc. culiar lustre bec0mns impressed on the mind. To educate the eye, models of rough diamonds are made at amsterdam for the uae of prospectors. and they are found extremely useful.

FINE MARINE.-At Schumacher Bros. Mr..
Frank Stanwood has put on exhibition a ma
rine view which he considers the best that he
has ever painted. 1t is a large canvas and is
called Comparing Longitude off Cape Halter.
as.'' The painting represents a full-rigged
ship driven before the wind through a surging
foam-met BY smaller vessel which shows a
board on which is marked the longitude upon
her quarter.
The conception is fine one and ia its exc
cution Mr. Stanwood has been especially skill
full in his attention to details of marine archi
lecture, which are too frequently neglected,
and in his management Of the vivid green and
foamy white of the restless waters. The sky
presents dull, leaden aspect, pierced by the
sun in one spot and though it seems too som.
bre is well done. Mr.. Stanwood is to be con-
graduated on his success in this line of art
for which long and familiar acquaintance with
sea life so admirably fits him.
The elegant frame was manufactured by
Messrs. Schumacher and is without doubt one
of the best specimens of gold gilt work ever
executed in this state.
