The wALLA WALLA cE-IST.
THE lMposToR DIES OF DIPHTHERIA.
Salt Lake Tribune.

Salt Lake Tribune.
The Walls Walla Watchman mentions
the death of two extraordinary young per-
sons OF diphtheria, one aged ten and the
other twelve years. These were the sons
of crazy Welsh prophet, named w. W.
Davies, who has set up camp in that
locality, known as the Standard Of Israel,
aud who is endowed with all the miraculous
powers which the most forid Imagination
can conceive. The elder boy was recog-
nized by the sect as God the Eternal
Father, be was adopted as the corner stone
of their faith, and in his frail tenement
was centred the hope Of their glory. The
other was a second incarnation Of the
Savior of the race, a modern Jesus Christ.
from whom Was expected a greatec display
of miraculous power than ever was exhibit
ed on this earth before. The father Of
these two prodiges claims to be King
David of Jewry, Joseph of Aremathea, he
is also God the Holy Ghost and the Light
OF lie world. These preposterous pre-
tensions are accepted by his followers, and
the wonders he IS yet to work are looked
forward to with superstitious awe.
We published some time since an account
of this religious impostor, written BY n
dups who had become conscious of his de-
fusion. We have now a second letter from
this writer, addressed to bus ness houss
in this city, from which we are permitted
to make the following extract:

worst impostors that ever came on earth;
deceived and swindled by him. His name
is W. W. Davies. He once resided in Salt
Lake City, and he is the chief cause Of my
present poverty and distress. You may
have seen my name in the Tribune, in
which paper shall make a further expos
ure of bis fraudulent deeds.
Please excuse NE for mixing up business
matters with my private grieis and suf-
ferings. My helpless condition of blind.

A RISE N DlAgo NDs.
ALL ABOUT THE PRECIOUS STONES OF DIFF
FERENT DIAMOND FIELDS.

Whether it be on account of the increased
demand for diamond earrings from Wall
street persons, or on account of the decreas-
ing supply of the precious stones, both from
the Cape fields and the "Districto Diaman-
tino" of Brazil, certain it is that the price
of fine diamonds has risen Is per cent.
Dealers complain, however, that they can
not get the higher price to which they have
gone, as the majority Of purchasers insist
upon the old average Of $50 to S75 carat.
They are therefore obliged to use inferior
stones to keep their trade going. There is
really no difference between good Brazil
ian stone and a good stone from the Cape,
and the outcry recently raised in London
by lady who discovered that the diamonds
she had bought as Brazilians were Africans
was a fancifut ons. The frauds OF the
Dutch and English dealers are psrpetrated
mainly in cutting tue Brazilian and Cape
diamonds in the old-fashoned styles of the
Indian stones, which were in vogue before
the Brazilian fields were discovered In 1880
and which now have the value Of antiqu-
ties. The only superiority Of the Brazilian
over the Cape diamonds is that the per-
centage Of fine stones is larger ia South
America than in Africa. Thus, for in
stance, IN 1000 Brazilian stones 300 fine
ones NAV be fouud. while the Cape will not
yield hundred specimens of the same
quality. The momentary scare produced
among the possessors of wealth of jew
elry" by the report that Haunay, the Scot
chemist, han discovered the secret of making
artificial diamonds has now entirely disap-
peared, He Acknowledged he never made
anything but every small quantities of
substance like bort" Bort is known in the
trade as dark brown stone similar to the
diamond in its properties and of use only
| in cutting real stones or for drilling pur-
poses.

Emerson and His Home
Concord Letter to the ChrirtIan Urion

Concord Letter to the Christian Urion.
Near the village, and standing close by
the fork of the road, is Mr.. Emerson's. A
plain fence comes we'll into the street, and
not many feet back stands the large, square
built house. To the left Of the house is
an overgrown woodpile that speaks Of long
winters and untold comfort in front of
CHEEKY fire places. mount the porch and
ring, and the servant ushers me into a
roomy hallway and thence into Mr.. Emer-
sons room at the right, most pleasant
apartment, not too large, but just large
enough. To the left as enter stands a
book case stretching from the floor to the
ceiling. Upon one Of the lower shelves are
the Ave volumes which Mr.. Emerson has
given 10 the world.
The furnishing of the room is plain to
homeliness. In the centre of the room
stands square built mahogany table, and
ut Its side an old-fashioned Boston rocker.
Upon the table are few books, a pen and
inkstand and much-worn portfolio. Be-
tween the two windows looking to the
street IL square built lounge. A chest of
drawers is at the right of the lounge, and
the window stills toward the village are full
of newspapers. A conch shell, such AZ our
grandmothers used to think 20 highly orDa-
mental, occupies an honorcd place on the
shelf over the fireplace. A few portraits
are scattered upon the walls, and fair
bust of Charles Sumner is given conspic-
nous position.
Presently Mr.. Emerson enters. His thin,
white hair 10 carefully combed over bis bald
crown, and his old-fashioned turn over COL
lar barely conceals the edge Of his black
silk handkerchief. He Is dressed In .
Prince Albert coat, black vest ana light
pantaloons, and bangles his "eyes," az he
calls them, in his left nand. He eagerly
and persistently asked questions about the
busy world outside, and seems TO look upon
the visitor as messenger come to give
him glimpses Of that grosser existence, the
