Colored diamonds, says a letter to the Bos-
ton journal, are supposed to be manufactured
nowadays for the UnTary, but ] heard OF a
new dodge lately. A photographer who has
had considerable experience in expert detective
cases said to me: 1--WE have a new use for
photorraphy-th testing Of precious stones.
The business began in this way One day
last year a diamond expert with quite repu-
tation in the business was asked by a stranger
to buy a remarkable fine diamond Eight
thousand dollars was asked for it. The ex-
pert tested it in every manner known to the
business, and examined IL carefully with q
glass. II was a magnificent stone, Of superb
color and shape. He offered $1,000, and tue
man took the money and went away. A day
or so after that the stone was shown as a
great bargain to some other experts, one Of
whom after examining it closely for long
time, declared that there was something very
peculiar about the way in which the light
went through the stone. The owner was ad-
yised to take II 10 me and have il tested by
ray Of sunlight through a camera. 1t was
brought 10 my studio with several other dIa-
monds and whereas one diamond would allow
a beam OF light clear and straight the $1,000
stone seemed to have something in 1t which
stopped the beam A powerful microscope
was then brought into play, and the fine dIa-
mond was found to be two stones Joined to-
gether with marvellous deXterIty 10y the aid OF
what ia known as Canada btlsam, the material
used by all opticians in joining two lenses.
Each stone was worth about s 800, and the
loss on the transaction was $500. The
stones came apart upon the application Of GER
tain chemicals

Tho Necessity of Cremating Yellow Fever
COrpses

One Of the most horrible discoveries Of
modern science Is that Of DR.. Domingo Freire,
Of Rio de JaneirO That city has been ser
iousb afflicted with yellow fever, and DR..
Freire, in his inquiry into the causes Of the
epidemic, came upon the dreadful fact that the
soil Of the cemeteries In which the victims OF
the outbreak were buried, was positively alive
with microbian organisms, exactly indeu1cal
with those found IN the v0mitings, blood, etc.
of those who had died in the hospital Of vel
low fever. From a foot under ground he
gathered a sample Of the earth everything the
remains Of person who was buried about
year before; and, though it showed nothing
remarkable in appearance or smell, It was
found under the microscope TO be thIckiy
charged with these abOmiuable disease germs.
Many Of the organisms were making sponiaLc-
Gus movements In fact, therefore, the Gene
teries are so many nurseries Of yellow fever;
for every year the rain washes away the soil,
and the fever seed, with which 10 is So closely
sown, into the water courses, and distributes
them over the town and ueghbOrh0Od.
Saws the doctor, "If each corpse is the
bearer Of millions of millions Of organisms that
are specifics Of III, imagine what cemetery
must be in which new fOei are forming around
each body In the silence Of death these
worlds Of organisms, invisible to the uuas-
sisted eye, are laboriug necessarily and IN
perceived to fill more graves with more bodies
destined for their food and for the fatal per-
petuation OF their species" How terribly
fatal these organisms are, indeed, may be IN
derstood from the fact that the blood of q yell
low fever patient injected into a rabbit killed
the animal in an hour, that the rabbits blood
injected into a guinea pig killed IT, and that
the guinea pigs blood injected into another
rabbit killed it also, so that the chain Of de-
struction may apparently be endless, for each
victim on post-mortem examination was found
to have all its blood swaTning with malignant
germs. Surely the cremation of all yellow
fever corpses becomes in the light Of DR..
Freire's discovery, public necessity SEATTLE

A FORCIBLE PROOF.

The Paducah News correctly re-
marks that "the life and death of
Judge Horrigan gives the most
complete exposure and successful
contradiction of the lies told by
some papers and speakers about the
treatment of Northern people at
the South. Good, honest men like
Judge Horrigan are wanted in every
Southern State"
Judge Horrigan went to Memphis
with a sword in his hand, hostile to
the people of that city, but when
the war was oyer he became citi-
zen of the place and no ex-Confder-.
ate was better treated than he was.
His election to the Office he so ably
filled was by an almost solid vote,
having received the nomination of
of both parties, and the universal
regret at his death demonstrated the
regard in which he was held. His
funeral was largely attended by the
best citizens and the greatest respect
was shown his remains.
The horde of Office seeking adven-
turers who came South after the
war raised such cry about the bad
treatment of Northerners in this
section that their statements were
looked on by some people as the
truth. AS the News has said, good,
honest men like Judge Horrigan
are wanted in the South and will
always be well treated here.

The Gamma co0cerf.

We desire to call especial atten-
ton to the programme announced
for Prof. Emery's Concert on Thurs
day night next; it contains some
features never presented in concerts
heretofore given in GAINESVILLE. The
most notable feature is the presen-
tation of overtures and choruses,
with fullness to the instrumental
parts very satisfactory, consisting of
four violins and flute, reed or
gan and fourhands on the piano.
This is a vast Improvement upon
the meagre accomplishments we are
accustomed to of single performer
on the piano, and will give our peo-
pie a conception new to them of the
rich harmonies of the classic mas
tiers.
The fine solo violin playing OF
Messrs. Rosenpl@nter and Emery
will be well exhibited in the two
concerted pieces by Gounod and
Schuberth, and the lady and gen.
tlemen vocalists, for whom Clarks-
vile is noted will be well employed
in the performance of Solos, Duets,
Glees, &c.
1t is high time that the public
taste should be supplied with a
higher order of music than that fur
nished by the negro Ministries, and
we have it now attempted with our
home resources alone; and we have
had the opportunity of
judging of the result by attending
on the rehearsals, from which we
predict unlimited sue
cess.
We are glad to learn that Prof. |
Emery proposes to make this con-
cert the commencement of a perma-
nent musical organization, instru-
mental and vocal, the conditions |
being the formation of a Musical |
Society the members of which will |
a very small quarterly |
fee for the purchase of music, the
remuneration for his
time and labor being derived from
the proceeds of concerts. Too much
cannot be said in favor of the enter
prise. d. f. w.

Death Of Nc. John n. Pearce.

After a. protracted illness and
much suffering, Mr.. j. III. Pearce
succumbed to the fatal and compli-
Gated disease that baffled the skill
of his physicians. His death oc-
CURED at twenty minutes after IL
O'Clock Thursday morning, at his
residence on Main street in this city.
Mr.. Pearce would have completed
his 44th year on the 10th of June
next. He was born on that day of
the month in the year 1889, at
CORTLAND, Alabama. He entered
the Confederate army at the begin
ming of the war as private, but on
account of his. skill in biography,
he was given an important position
as a government operator which he
kept to the close of hostilities. He
had lived in GAINESVILLE about 10
years and had charge of the West
ern Union Telegraph Office during
his entire residence in the city. Mr..
Pearce was man of more than or
binary intelligence, he possessed a
fine library of books which he was
fond of reading. In matters of re-
ligion he had original ideas and at
the time of his death belonged to no |
church. Many people regarded him
as eccentric. He was a royal arch
Mason and a member of the Lodge
of Knights of Pythias in this city.
GAINESVILLE has lost in Mr.. Pearce a
good citizen and his death is very
generally regretted. His wife and
an adopted daughter survive him.
The funeral took place at 2 o'clock
p. M, yesterday (Friday,) with
services by Rev. J. w. Lupton at
the residence. The remains were
inferred in Greenwood Cemetery
with burial rites by Cumberland
Lodge, X. of P.
