DIAMONDS.

The most valuable diamonds are those
which are colorless. Those with a blue
tinge, though still more rare, are not SO
highly valued, as the actual beauty of the
pure ones outweighs the rarity of the blue
variety. One of the finest of the blue vari-
ETY. is, we believe, in the collection of Mr.
Beresford- Hope. Diamonds of red tinge
take still good place green diamonds are
tolerably numerous, and rank lower; yellow
ones are very common, and the least es-
teemed. The estimation of the value OF q
diamond is made according to regular sys-
tenn of appraisement. 1t will surprise
many who are not conversant with the SUBJ
ject to learn what large proportion of q
diamond is often ground away to dust in
cutting il so as to make the most of its bril-
liancy. The greatest diamond in the French
Treasury the Regent, weighed, we are told,
40 carats before cutting, and 1861 after
cutting, which seems an immense loss in
size but we presume it really increased the
marketable value of the gem. or course,
the diamond dust taken of in cutting is not
allowed to be lost, but ii is useful chiefly for
practical purposes, in forming in its turn
the means of grinding down the faces Of
other diamonds; for this superb stone will
yield to no tool but one from its own sub
stance. London Builder

STRENGTH OF BUILDING STONES.


The strength of the large stones used in
our public buildings is tested by machines
made for the purpose. This is done at the
Columbia School of Mines, at the navy ward
in Washington, and other places, and every
stone known has been thoroughly tested.
The result of these experiments shows that
the strongest building stones are the trap
rocks of New Jersey. They bear a pressure
of "a, 1000 pounds to the cubic inch. The
dolerite from Staten Island is equally as
strong. This is comparatively little used.
as it is too expensive to work, but is, how
over, used in what is called cyclopean archi-
lecture, where the blocks are to be ,Htsed to-
gether roughly. The strongest GRANTEES
comes from Westerly, r. l.: Richmond,
Va, and Port Deposit, Nd. These severally
will stand of 1880, 21,250, and 10, $50
pounds to the cubic inch. Granite is the
most durable of all stone in everyday use.
The fine red polished GRANTEES, SO much used
OF late, come from Peterhead, near Aber-
deem, Scotland and the Bay of Fundy, and
to all intents and purposes they last forever.
The strongest marbles come from Lee,
Mass, and bear IL, 440 pounds to the cubic
INCH Tuckahoe, N. Y, 1880 pounds, be-
ing stronger than the Bay of Fundy granite,
which stands o pressure of only lisp
pounds to the cubic inch. italian marble
will bear 1,25O pounds, and the statnary
marble from Carrara only 9,723 pounds
pressure to the cubic inch Good rough
marbles are found in Westchester county.
The strongest limestone comes from King
ston, N. Y. 1t will resist 10, 800 pounds to
the cubic inch, and has the greatest variety
of color of all building stones. That from
Glens Falls takes high polish and is jet
black. Gray comes from Lockport, and the
delicate cream and dove tints are found in
the Athens and Caen stones. Lighter shades
are found in the Bermuda and Florida rock.
The latter is called coquina, is coarse, and
used to great extent in building. Consid-
cradle experience is necessary in the selec-
ton of these stones, as they cut and weather
into tints different from the original The
dark imestones turn gray oftentimes by
the oxidation of the coloring matter. N

AMERICANS PAYING IRISH RENTS.

Pet. V. Nasty writes There are L..
900, 600 of Irish in America, and every one
Of them is earning money. They are in
svery walk in life, from the professions
down to railroad shoveling and servants in
Kitchens. The wealthy have, of course
brought their families all over, and have no
tie but that of sentiment to connect them
with their fatherland. But the vast army of
hand-workers male and female, cannot do
this except by slow and painful accumula-
lions, and these they are not allowed to
make. Why? Because My Lord in Eng

the Atlantic, through the love that every
Irish man and woman bears his kindred,

on the heart-strings of every girl in every
kitchen and every laborer in America
used to wonder why the Biddy in my
kitchen came to me regularly once month
for draft for the full half of her wages to
send to the old country. / wondered why
she did not save her money against the day
she married, that she might not come to her
husband empty handed
l found the reason in Ireland. Biddy
could not see her father and mother turned
out in the cold for the non-paynent of the
infamous rent, and SO her money, which
should have stayed in America, and be final
ly used in building home of her own, went
regularly across the Atlantic to help them
out
But the internal ingenuity of the soul
grinders permitted it to do them very little
good. For when an agent found that an
Irish boy or girl was assisting his or her
family, it took him very little time to dis
cover the amount of the regular remittances
and the rent was promptly raised to just
that amount

ABOUT BRAKEMEN,

Ten brakemen. says the Utica Herald, are
killed in the United States daily and ten
times as many are injured. Only about %
per cent. of the freight brakemen die nat
ural death, and the average life Of this class
is not over ten years. And yet there are
twenty applicants for every vacancy on the
Central road trains. A few years ago ED"
Whitcomb, the waggish telegraph operator
at the Utica depot, was applied to in writing
by countryman, who gave his age, height,
names of parents, grandparents, and all fam
lily details. The operator took down all the
statistics and entered them in book As
he was uncertain about the weight he was
directed to go up to the weighlock and bring
back ticket with the figures on, waiting
patiently if the doors of the lock-office were
closed. The doors had been closed month,
and the applicant returned at the end of an
hour nearly frozen to death by the bleak
winds of the canal. He explained the cause
of his delay to Operator Whitcomb, who ex-
pressed great regret that he had not been
there fifteen minutes before as he had job
for him, adding, 1--WE kill brakeman on
this division every fifteen minutes. One just
cut up was carried away just now. You
might have had his job if you had been
smart The countryman opened his eyes
and replied Wall guess I'll run over
to Marcy and visit my uncle for few days
and stop on my return-perhaps you'll have
another job by that time. Good day." 1t

A DIsGRACEFuL STAMPEDE.

One of the most amusing incidents Of the
war that occurred at Clarksburg did not
terminate as happily as the above. Soon af-
tire active hostilities beganT'a New York regi-
mant arrived in Clarkshurg, said to be the
'sr5est regiment ever seen in the field. How
so many men got crowded into one regi-
ment was more than any mortal could tell
1t was said to number some seventeen hum
dred men. The alonel commanding the
regiment had little confidence in the staying
qualities of his men should they be called
npon to engage the enemy. They had
never been in battle and did not seem to
be spelling for fight to any perceptible
extent 1t was rumored that the Confeder-
ates were advancing upon Clarksburg and
the Colonel determined to test the courage
of his troops. He secretly took about
dozen soldiers couple of miles from town
and concealed them on an eminence short
distance above the road and told them when
he brought his regiment opposite them they
were to fire volley over the heads of the
men and give the "rebel yell" He then
returned to town, and forming, his regiment,
told them the enemy was advancing on the
town and they must go out and meet him.
With blanched cheeks the men rode after
The ambush was reached. About this time
the fear among the men that they would
meet the enemy had done its work Wis.,
ions of their mangled and bleeding forms
being carried back to Clarksburg or thrown
into a ditch and buried without coffin or
ceremony had fitted through many a brain
as they rode along. Suddenly the roar OF
musketry was heard just above them and
dozen balls went whistling over their heads.
1t was enough, AS though actuated by
single impulse every man turned toward
Clarksburg and shot down the road as
though pursued by million devils. 1t was
in vain that the Colonel rode after them and
tried to rally them, even tried to convince
them that the shots were not from Con
federate guns but fired by their comrades
Away they went helter-skelter, all bent upon
placing themselves under the protection of
the Notifications at Clarksburg 1t was a
race such as had not been seen in that
country before and similar one may never
be seen again The road was q narrow one

it, each trying to pass all the rest. Occasion
ally cap would fly from troopers head,
then a carbine would go railing to the
ground. Blankets and other equipments
flew in every direction and were trampled
under feet. At length they dashed into the
streets of the town, but the stampede did
not stop here. They dashed through the
streets to reach fort on the hill at the
opposite end of the town. While running
through the streets the horse of one of the

less time than we can write it the entire
mass of frightened men and horses had pass

to death. The men did not stop until the
fort was reached and thus terminated, with
the loss of one life, the most ludicrous and
disgraceful stampede witnessed during the
war Philadelphia Times.

on at once, just as they were, and continued
his walk. When he returned, the boards
