Mr. Rhodes diamond is now one of the sensations of Paris, where MT. Rhodes is awaiting the result of 8 competition between two miIlionnaires dosirous of possessing the jewel. The stone was found in his mine at Kimberley, South Africa, in the beginning of 1880, and made great sensation among the diggers when the discovery was made known about four months later. Mr. Rhodes was obliged to satisfy their curiosity by exhibiting the diamond. Ac- cordingly he placed it in a fffeud'a ofices charged a sovereign for admission and in this way received e100 within the first two hours. Altogether he made by the exhibi- tion $500, which he gave to the local hospi- tal On his arrival in England he was hon. ored with an invitation to Osborne, in order that Her Majesty might inspect the stone. He was afterward taken to Osborne Cottage and had an interview with the EmPEess Eu- genie. Mr. Potter Rhodes considers that his diamond as far surpasses the Kohinoor in purity as it does in weight, the Indian stone weighing 106 1-2 carats, the Cape diamond about 150 carats. He said to his interviewer 'tI shall have at least fulfilled one mission shall have convinced the world that the Cape diamonds are as radiantly pure aud blue white as the Dresden drop and the Brsg- anza. shall thus upset one popular de- lusion.''

CORRESPONDENCE,

The High Taxes in New Haven.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 Your article on the subject of high taxes published in 8 recent COURIER has no doubt attracted the attention of all citizens whose taxes take away one-quarter of their income. The article spoke of persons refusing to build factories and dwellings because of the high taxation. It is well understood that one can hear any day the words, ''I do not buy or build until locate elsewhere, for with the New Haven high taxes it is cheaper to rent" That it is cheaper to live in 8 rented house than to build is easily proved. Cannot this question be earnestly discussed through your columns? TAXPAYER.

The election of MT. Lynch to Parliament from the county of Sligo is substantial and significant victory for Mir. Parnell. Extra ordinary efforts were made to defeat this can- didate. The Liberals and Conservatives even went so far as to pool their issues and make common cause against the enemy, in which it is alleged, though not on very good author ity, that they were supported by the Catholic clergy. Yet in spite of all this energy and unanimity Parnells man was elected by GOO majority.

Those who are afraid of the cholera and
 are not afraid of work can follow M. Pasteur's plan for warding of the disease. His plan rests principally on the weIl-known fact of
 the propagation of disease by water. The utmost precaution is taken to destroy all cholera germs which might be found in wa ter. All drinking water is first boiled. Care has to be taken even of the glasses or pitch CTS into which the water is poured. Even water for toilet purposes is first boiled. Knives, spoons and forks in ovens and heated up to 8 certain point.
 Bed clothing has to be repeatedly washed and rapidly dried. These rules, which are cer- tainly very troublesome to carry ont, are laid down more particularly for doctors and nurses, whose duty it is to live ameng those stricken down by the disease. As to food, underdone meat and badly cooked vegetables are considered by M. Pasteur as dangerous. mask is even described to be worn, made of two thin sheets of brass, so that wedding of phenoIized cotton can be introduced In breathing, the cholera germs are destroyed by passing through this impregnsted cotton.

| WHY EVE DIDN'T NEED GIRL -
A lady writer in one of our exchanges
furnishes some of the reasons why Eve
did not keep hired girl. She says /:
There has been a great deal said about
the faults of women and why they need
so much waiting on. Some one Ia man
of coursel has the presumption to ask,
Why, when Eve was manufactured
out of spare rib, q servant was not made
at the same time to wait on her?" She
didn't need any. A bright writer has said
Adam never came whining to Eve with
ragged stocking to be darned, buttons
to be sewed OF, gloves to be mended
right away-''quick, now! ~ He never
read the newspapers until the sun went
down behind the palm trees, and he,
stretching himself yawned out, "Is
supper ready yet, my dear? ?" Not he.
He made the fire, and hung the kettle
over it himself, we'll venture, and
pulled the radishes, peeled the potatoes,
and did everything else he ought to do.
He milked the COWS, fed the chickens
and looked after the pigs himself, and
never brought home half dozen friends
to dinner when Eve hadn't any fresh
pomegranates. He never stayed out till
eleven O'Clock at night and then seolded
because Eve was sitting and crying in
side the gates. He never loafed around
corner groceries while Eve was rocking
little Gains cradle at home He never
called Eve up from the cellar to put
away his slippers. Not he. When he
took them off he put them under the
fig tree beside his Sunday boots, In
short he did not think she was specially
created for the purpose of waiting upon
him, and he wasn't under the impres-
sion that it disgraced man to Tighten
wife's cares a little. That's the reason
Eve did not need hired girl. and with
it is the reason her descendants did.

An aged man and woman, husband
and wife, keep little hotel in a valley
near this place. Here, with their wives
and daughters, 1t has been the habit OF
the grimy miners to meet on Saturday
nights and indulgein weird and fantas
tic dances, infuriated in their motions
by the influence of the fiery liquids
These debauches it was the usual GUS
tom to continue far into Sunday morn
ing.
Not far from this tavern there is a
small church in which, during last win
ter, revival meetings were held, and
many of the Inhabitants of the valley
turned from their worldly pursuits and
devoted their attention to their spiritual
welfare Many OF these people were
customers of the landlord of the little
tavern. He was vexed by the loss OF
his bibulOus clients, and after consulta
tion with friends he agreed to institute
a series of protracted meetings in his
bar room. Tonight large assembly
hold mock revival. With the rude
oOuiiO VI SieIoSCo dAu OCCR oiac-
phemy the meeting was organized
Clarence Tellming, a young man with
sharp features and deep bass voice vol
unteered to act as parson. He led his
unruly congregation in hymn, and as
the last verse ended in a prolonged howl
he ordered that a bench should be placed
in front of the table behind which he
stopd. and in grand, eloquent terms ex-
hOrted all who felt moved by O restless
spirit, to step forward. Five or six men
and women knelt down at the bench,
and, with loud groans and impious
phrases, inflated the mourners at the
little church's revival. Then, one by
one. they arose ahd besought the leader
of the sacrilegiOus performance to accept
them as flock of his fold AT this stage
o. the work the aged tavern keeper,
shaking with the weight of his many
wears, held up q demijohn of brandy,
calling out :-"Here is the holy wine
partake of the sacrament" A cold rush
Of air surged through the hot room as
the door of the den was opened. With
one accord the biasphemous merry ma
kers fell astounded back. The figure
that stepped across the clouded room
was sable black His breast, arms, and
legs were covered with long, coarse hair.
His eyes, set in deep sockets. flashed
forth red, luminous lustre, and his lips,
parted in sneer, displayed long gilt
tering white tusks Too frightened at
first to move. the assembly gazed with
awed eyes upon the spectral figure. In

Deep Flowing; Useful and Injurious.

Mr.. Orange Judd discusses the subject
of plowing in the american Agricultss-
rist for April, and among other things
says the following:
1.-THE sums warmth greatly assists the
preparation of the food material COL
leeted by the leaves, adopting Ii for
plant nourishment. We speak of warm
''growing weather." But while the
hot sun rapidly increases the prepara-
ton of plant food, it dries off the zap
faster from the leaves, and also the
moisture from surface soil, so that the
roots cannot get full supply. In both
these ways the sap-the life blood of the
plants diminished, and for want of
this the food distribution or growth is
lessened, and frequently is stopped Alto
gether. The leaves curl, the plants
droop, often dying out after few hot
days This is especially the case on
shallow soils. and on prairie land which,
by reason OF its dark color, absorbs more
of the suns heat than those of lighter
color. Owing to the loose texture of
such soils they bring up moisture from
below much less rapidly than fine, COM
pact lC ms aud clays
Is it not plain then, that if soil is
plowed deep and made fine, so that air
will penetrate deeply, and the plant
roots he thus invited well below the
surface, out OF the suns reach even in q
drOuth, which seldom dries more than
two to four inches deep. the plants hav-
ing such roots will be always supplied
with the needed sap, and the growth
will proceed rapidly even in the dryest
days? Hence, as rule, deep plcwing
and working of the soil are highly sd-
vantageous.
But not always. The porous prairie
soils are usually in fair condition foot
deep or more; the air has circulated
through them. destroying deleterious
soils, so compact that the air has never
circulated below the immediate surface,
the snbsoil may be actually filled with
poisonous substances. We know that
earth brought up III digging wells and
deep bitches will seldom support vege-
table life, for year or two at least To
run plow down into such soil three or
four inches below the previously stirred
surface, and turn up heavy layer of it,
may actually kill the first crop sown or
planted.
The right way, with such soils, is to
go down an inch or two annually, and
bring up little new soil each time, but
not enough to materially harm the
growing crops, In this way we may in
tine secure a healthful, porous. erated,
deep planted bed, that will furnish
abundant moisture i'll the hottest sea-
sen. besides providing new supplies of
inorganic food needed for the best
growth of crops.
