The Discovery Of Diamonds in Brazil

Often, down to 1929, the gold hun
tcrs had noticed in the bottoms OF the
bowls in which they washed the river
sands, little bright crystals to which
they attached no value. The brilliancy
of these crystals, their hardness and
their regular form, rs if shaped by the
hand, had indeed attracted the atten-
ton of the miners, and many had saved
them to use as counters in play; but
gold alone had any value in the eyes of
these Adventures. At this epoch, ac-
cording to the least uncertain tradition,
n monk, who had taken part in the
search for diamonds in India, recogniz-
ed the nature of these counters. He
told his discovery to certain Bernardo
da EOnscca Lobo, who made it known
in his name to the Portuguese Govern
mcnt The King Immediately took pos
session Of all the lands where the pres
ence of diamonds had been recognized
and where it could be suspected.
Bernardo received rs his reward the
title of royal notary and the command
of the militia of the most important CITY
of the region. The name OF the monk
was forgotten. | do not believe that
the name of either could have been pop
ular at Minas, for their discovery, which
threw hundreds of millions into the
treasury of the Kings OF Portugal, was
the origin of one of the most despotic
rules that any country ever had to en-
dure.
The first diamonds were found in the
sands of the brooks, and these sands, or
to use the Portuguese expression, which
has passed into nearly all languages.
cascalhos, still constitute the beds that
are principally worked. But beds OF al
entirely different nature, situated, Ike
mines of metals, in the midst OF the
strata, and of corresponding depth
have been brought to notice in later
years. -PUgular Science Monthly.

occupied by two successors. Topsy and
Molly Stanly are the names of the new
ly arrived African chimpanzees which

from Sierra Leone Thursday. They
reached the Garden in 4 special dry

old blankets. and were "at home" to
visitors in the afternoon. The two ami
mails which arrived yesterday are better
specimens than the former ones. They
are females and young, though the larg-
er one is three feet tall. Molly is the
baby, and when her name is called looks
at her visitor with bright hazel eyes in
an iuQuiring manner. Watching their
actions it is hard to believe they are not

Jefferson and his Violin.

Mrs. Martha Shelton was rich, accom-
plished, beautiful, ard Il widow whose
age included but twenty-three years.
OF course, she had many admirers
among the young Virgnians of her day.
One of them was Tom Jefferson, then
n young lawyer, esteemed for his tai
ents, but by no means remarkable for
the grace of his person or the beauty of
his face. Toms" accomplishments
were persuasive manner, and ability
to sing song and play on the violin.
The Widow Shelton enjoyed her free
dom and the attention of her admirers.
Several of them entertained "hopes,"
but her manner expressed no such pref
erence as satisfied their ardent desires.
One day, two of her suitors, bent on
learning their fate from her own lips,
met in the hall of her house.
The sound of music caused them to
listen. The widow was playing on the
harpsichord and singing a love song,
while Jefferson accompanied her with
his voice and violin.
Something in the song, and in the
manner of her singing, showed them
that mo- would be her answer, if they
pressed their suit. Quietly leaving the
hall, they mounted their horses and rode
away, sadder but wiser men. In a day
or two the engagement of Mrs, Martha
SHELTON to Thomas Jefferson was among
the rumors of the day.
Jefferson was always fond of the yio-
lin. When his parental home was burn
ed he asked, Are all the books Destroy
ed?"
Yes, massa, dey is,n answered the
old family servant, who knew his mas
ter's pet vanity; "but we saved de

Rude Fashionable Women.

Bv incidents like the one related be-
low Oscar Wilde justifies his assertion
that American society is rude even to
boorishness: In Saratoga last week |
stopped at the States and Congress Hall
two of the best hotels, which one
would suppose would be patronized by
cultured people. While talking with
Judge Brady there a great crowd came
around us, mostly women, and, finding
it a bore to be thus stared ut, l moved
on into the office. There they came
hocking in after us. | went to the bill
liard-room, but found no refuge there.
The women rushed there ladies in silks
and grapes and laces, with diamonds in
their ears, bringing their daughters with
them To balk the pursuit utterly, |
fled to the bar-room. Win you believe
me that they came therein ten min
utes fifty to one hundred of them fill
ing up the place almost? 1t seemed to
me a most painful and dreadful thing
the bold-faced staring and half-audible
comment. 1t seemed much worse than
the conduct of abandoned women. Why
didn't | SAY. 'What'll you have. ladies?'
Oh. it wouldn't have done any good,
and all the country would have Said |

THE WORD OF A KHAN.-Hulaku, the
grandson of the great Genghis Khan, ex-
ceeded even the first Caliphs in religious
respect for the sanctity of his word, and it
is said that he invariably refused to make
a promise ''till the possibility of fulfilling
it became absolutely indubitable." In the
winter of 1857 he laid siege to the city OF
Bagdad, and, after planting his battering-
rams, demanded an unconditional sur
render, with the threat that both the
Caliph and his subjects would be made to
repent it if the gates were not opened be.
fore night. The defenders hesitated, but
on the following day the Tartars erected a
lofty gallows-tree, and the frightened
Caliph preferred to come to terms. The
magniticence of his gifts seemed to gotten
the heart Of the conqueror, for the ominous
scaffold was removed; but, after private
consultation with his captains, Hulaku
concluded that, after all, something or
other must be done to redeem his word.
So, after enjoying the hospitality of the
Caliph for day or two, they marched him
to headquarters, and, instead of hanging
him, sewed him up in a leathern bag and
dragged him across-lots till every joint
and bone in his body was pounded as In
mortar" and, instead of burning the IN
habitants with their city, they Drained
eight hundred thousand of them, and flung
them into the Tigris, till the river was &C.
tually choked with corpses. Andrew
Crichton History of Arabia, vol. il, p. 45)
adds that the number of the slain did not
even include the victims of the neighbor-
ing villages!

offspring, the same spirit guides all her
movements and determines her every &C.
ton. Is one of her brood crippled or feeble,
she makes for him 40 delay. Her move
ments conform to the capacity of the strong
and the vigorous. To pause for the feeble
is to peril the strong. Observe one of these
waits this memorable mother leaves behind
her under the shelter of leaf, or bunch
of grass, you will find him in slumber
apparently as profound as that of death.
Pick him up and a feeble struggle is all that
shows his consciousness. Lay him down
and he will dart away for few feet, and
in moment he is again sleeping as before.
Mark the spot, and an hour later you will
find him dead-that the little life SO shortly
run has passed away, as painlessly as that
of flower. And so, holding together the
strong and abandoning the feeble, the
mother winnows out the weaklings of her
brood. Each day, with longer circuit
and wider range, is the test applied and
the feeble abandoned, until only those
equally strong, equally vigorous, remain.
No more apt illustration Of the modern
doctrine of selection"-o the survival
of the fittest" can be found than in the
career of brood of young quails and this
is why our hunters always find all the birds
of a covey alike perfect, active and vigor-
