the privilege Of coming in out of the

1t is matter of very small moment

Senator David Davis has no difficulty
in keeping himself prominently fixed in
the public gaze. His size and cheek
enable him tn compass this end with
marvellous facility.
II may be well for the Republican
party TO consider that minorities have a
way of making themselves felt at the
polls, which they cannot always manifest
at state conventions.
The paralyzed, and consequently mo-
tionless, condition of MIR. rilden's LEFT
side will probably account for the per
sistent adherence of that little chip Il
his disabled shoulder.
Seymour admits that he cannot carry
his OWN state. The confession bureau
has not yet received any eOmmunica

prospect from his standpoint.

THE DROUGHT In THE EAST


From New York, New Jersey and
other localities on the Atlantic seaboard,
come the most alarming advIces of the
destruction of animal and vegetable
life by means of the intense heat and
protracled drought. In New York City
the thermometer is ranging up among
the nineties, and the cases of sunstroke
and prostratiOE from the intense heat
are daily ON the increase. The dry
weather is looked upon with serious APP
prehenSion by farmers, gardeners and
fruit growers. whose crops and products
Will be utterly ruined unless there are
rains within the next week or ten days.
In New Jersey the drought he's been Of
such duration that the woods have be
come tinder-boXes and the dry material
afforded by them have furnished food
for the most destructive forest fires ever
known in the history of the state. The
cry of distress is going up from thous-
ands of stricken people, and while
"droughty Kansas" is luXuriating in
general and copious rains, while every
! species of life and vegetation are taking
on new impetus in the glorious jay
hawker state, our eastern friends who
have been so generous in advertising
the drawbacks of the great west, and
notably those of Kansas, are suffering
from the visitation of Il drought, the equal
of which the settled portions ofthis state
has never seen. After all, the blessings
of life flow in Il pretty average current
and if there are any distinctions made
they are in favor of Kansas. s.

THE DIAMOND.

Although found in every quarter of
the globe, the diamond is the rarest, as
it is the hardest, known mineral. II
occurs exclusively among gold bearing
rocks, and among strata which,
though originally soft shaly deposits of
sand or mud, have been "metamor-
phosed," as it is called, into hard crys-
talline schists. II was once supposed
by biologists that the metamorphic
rocks were deposited in their existing
crystalline from boiling ocean en-
veloping the still heated globe; but it is
now known that these formations were
originally deposited as mud or sand,
and have been transmitted into schists
by the influence of subterranean heat
acting under great pressure through
heightened periods of time, and aided
by thermal water or steam permeating
the porous rocks and giving rise to vari-
Gus chemical decompOsitions and new
combinations within them. The dia
