The dilemma in which the House
finds itself, when the project to refer
to the Court of Claims the accumu-
lated mass of private bills is consid-
cred, is curious one. 1t is feared
that if the scheme should become a
law, a vast number of old claims,
covered with the dust of ages and
half forgotten by their original hold
ers, would be endowed with new life.
Then, again, the Republicans fear
that class of claims known as "war
claims would be dumped into the
Court by the cart-load" and would
be thrown back upon Congress.
Briefly, however, it is apparent that
Congress is unwilling to part with
any of It's prerogatives, while it is
also unable to exercise these in the
matter of settling private claims
against the Government. Congress
cannot do the work, but is willing
to put it out to any other department
of the Government. This is not
creditable state of things. The just
claims should be paid, aud The unjust
claims should be forever debarred.
This work will involve a patient ex-
animation, which Congress has not
time or skill to give. Consequently
all claims, good, bad, and Indifferent,
are left to molder and desiccate in
the pigeon-holes of the committee
rooms. In many cases great injus-
tice is done and much hardship en-
tailed by this means. There is now
in Washington an old man, known
to almost every resident of the Capt.
tai, who has been here for years try
ing to collect a just debt of a few
thousand dollars due him from the
Government which squanders hun.
dred-thousand times the amount
every session of Congress for the ben
eft of the lobby. He is poor, aged,
aud broken-down in the vain effort
to get his due but this rich Govern
ment turns deaf ear to all his APP
peals. Yet his case is only one of
many. Dom PEDRO.

/ recently heard the story of the
largest known diamond in the world
certainly the largest in the civil
ICED world-from an American gen.
tlemaa, who has resided for years in
Brazil. This marvellous stone, which
is four times the size of the. Kohl.
moor, was for q long time the play
thing of the children of an old ne
gro slave living in a billy region in
tho interior of Brazil. Tho children
had picked the stone out of q heap
of pebbles brought by their father
to lay before the door of this hut.
One day they were amusing them
selves with it as usual by rolling it
about On the mud fear, when a ne
gro, who had worked in the dia-
mond mines till his health broke
down and who had been sent into
the country to recruit, came into
the hut and spied the stone, He
examined it carefully, and pro-
nounced it to be a diamond. A
great excitement was caused by the
discovery, the Emperor sending a
regiment of cavalry to escort this
colossal gem in safety to his capital:
He Afterwards presented It to his
uncle, the King of Portugal, It's
value has been variously estimated
from $15,0O0,OO0 to $50, goo, 600, but.
even the most skilled lapidaries hes
itate to pronounce upon its value,
Rs it is perfectly unique in the his
tory of precious stones. 1t 10 of on

tremely fine water Of course it is
too gigantic ever to be worn as an
ornament, except perhaps mounted
on the summit or apex IF an impe-
rial crown. Very few people have
ever seen it, and it Is now probably
lost to the world, being hidden away
among the crown jewels Of Portugal.
