BIG DIAMONDS.

4 Discovery in Indin-The Regent aud
Sanci Stones.
New York Times.
story comes from Parteall, India, where
diamonds are usually found-G olconda
being the place where they are merely cut
and polished-that the largest diamond in
the world has lately been discovered there.
It is said to weigh four hundred carats,
thirty-two carats more than the famous
stone belonging to the rajah of Mattau.
The story is, in all probability, much bigger
than the diamond, and both will be likely to
diminish under careful examination. Great
diamonds are interesting, because they near
ly always have curious and romantic his
tories. The Regent or Pitt diamond, one
hundred and thirty-six and tlree-fourths
carats, cut, found in Hyderabad, was taken
to England by Pitt, the grandfather of the
first earl of Chatham, and sold by him to
the Due d'Orleans for sum equivalent to
S65O,0OO. 1t ornamented the sword hilt of
Napoleon; was taken by the Prussians at
Waterloo, and is now among the crown
jewels of the emperor of Germany. The
Sanci, another celebrated stone, once be-
longed to Charles the Bold, duke of Bur
gundy, who wore it in his hat at the battle
of Nancy, where he fell. 1t then passed to
the hands of Anton, king of Portugal, and
he, being embarrassed, disposed of it for
$4,000. Then it was purchased, after
divers changes, by a Frenchman named
Sanci, whence it designation. One of his
descendants having been sent as ambassador
to Henry Ill, at Soleure, the king demand
ed the jewel as pledge. The servant carry
ing it to the monarch was waylaid by robbers
and murdered, but not before he had swal-
lowed the diamond. His master, confident
of his fidelity, caused the body to be opened,
and found the precious stone. After while
it was secured by the government of Great
B ritain, and James II. carried it to France

Eat Onions.

Few people dream of the many vir-
tues of onions, and those few are en-
thusiastic for the benefcent bulb, and
believe it panacea for every ill.
Lung and liver complaints are Ger.
tainly benefited, often cured, bv a
free consumption OF onions, either
cooked or raw. Colds yield to them
like magic. Don't be afraid of them
especially ifyou are married. Taken
at night all offense will be wanting
by morning, and the good effects
will amply compensate for the trifing
annoyance. Taken regularly they
greatly promote the health of the
lungs and the digestive organs. An
extract made by boiling down
the juice Of onions to syrup, and
taken as medicine, answers the pur-
pose very well, but fried, roasted or
boiled onions are better. Onions are
a very cheap medicine, within every
body's reach, and they are not by any
means as "bad to take" as the costly
nostrums a neglect Of their use will

Burying Grapes Alive.

A French paper gives the expert
ence of a vine.grower in burying
green grapes, vine and all, Tor the
purpose of preserving the fruit in a
fresh state. 1t must be promised
that the grapes were not grown by
the close pruning system, but upon
trailing vines. In high.lying, dry
place, he dug pit lis meter long, of
the same depth, and O.75 meter in
width, as near as possible TO two
vines on which the fruit was not yet
quite ripe. From these he stripped
all the leaves and branches without
fruit, and led the bearing branches,
with the lunches of grapes attached,
into the it,where he tied them down
firmly in such manner that the fruit
hung free i'll it without anywhere
touching the soil. The pit was then
covered with boards orer which a
layer OF about twenty inches of earth
was thrown and lightly trodden
down, so as to exclude all air. When
opened at the end Of the following
March, the fruit was found rs sound
and healthy as when buried in DC
tober. On every grape was a small
drop OF water, just as if a spot OF
rain had fallen upon it.

dium-sized, oval berries of the Isa-
bella, as it grows in this state, we
have in the new grape, large, per-
fectly round berries, forming a much
more compact and heavier cluster
than the old Isabella. The variety
having shown its fixedness by num-
Der Of preparations, Mr.. Pierce
deems it entitled to a name, and so
called it Isabella Regia"-a royal
sort of an Isabella, which indeed it
is. 1t is certainly a remarkable fruit,
being much superior to the old lisa
bella as grown on the same grounds.
1t is fitted by its size of berry (and
we measured several Of the larges
which were 15-16ths of an inch in di-
ameter), to attain leading place as
table fruit. We predict for it great
popularity when it shall be grown in
marketable quantities. Mr.. Pierce
will have scions enough this year to
graft 100 vines. Having thus tortu.
nately fallen in with a very good
thing in the grape line, Mr.. Pierce
will keep it to his own grounds, at
least for the present.

Vegetable Growing in Moss Balls

In the Wiener Landacithschattli-
che Zeitataag M. +. Bilek describes his
experience i'll growing cucumbers,
beans, peas, caulifiowers, ETC., in balls
of moss. In the case of cucumbers,
especially as the process offers the
advantages of an earlier and more
certain crop, for these plants, if put
out too soon, are specially apt to sut-
fer from late trosts in a cool, damp
spring, etc; while, put out 100 late,
they nave to develop at warm, dry
season, so that they throw out little
fruit. Reared in moss balls they can
be put out when sufficiently hardy,
and when night trosts are no longer
to be feared. In the case of beans,
the crop is generally heaviest the
earlier it can be produced. Early
beans can be easily got by starting
them i'll moss balls, and planting out
the moment the weather permits. Ir
three weeks, oreven fortnight after,
gathering may be got, for the
plants flower readily while in the
moss balls. The same holds good of
other crops. Biennials should be
sown about the middle of September,
on an exhausted hotbed, pricked out
as soon as sufficiently developed, and
lifted in the middle of November,
after the ground has been thoroughly
watered, so that some of the soil may
come away with the roots. These
are then dipped in a mixture of clay,
chopped moss, water and loan, and
on withdrawal sprinkled over with
fine dry earth. A piece Of moss is
then iattened by pressure on board
with the form OF plate, and sifted
earth sprinkled on it. The plant is
stood upon this, and the root
thoroughly covered in with the sheet
of moss, so that neither rootlet nor
earth are anywhere visible through
it. The covering is nodded into a
rounded form, and secured tightly
with couple OF wires. Thus ''balled
up" the plants are arranged on
boards, or at the bottom Of shallow
boxes, so that they can readily be
moved from place to place. They
