A Priceless Diamond.

Mr.. Porter Rhodes, the fortunate
owner of the priceless diamond that
bears his name, is at present in Paris
awaiting the result Of competition be-
tween two millicnaires DESTROYS of pos
sessing the jewel. The stone was found
in his mine at Kimberly, South Africa,
in the beginning OF 1880, andFmade agreat
sensation among the diggers when the
discovery vas made known about four
months later. Mr.. Porter Rhodes was
obliged to satisfy their curiosity by ex-
hibiting the diamond. Accordingly he
placed it in a friends office, charged a
sovereign for admission, and in this
way received 9l00 within the first two
hours. Altogether he made by the ex-
hibition e500, which he gave to the local
hospital. On his arrival in England he
was honored with an invitation to Os-
borne, in order that Her Majesty might
inspect the sto re. He was alterward
taken to Osborne cottage and had an in
terview with the Empress Eugene.
Mr.. Porter Rhodes considers that his
diamond as far surpasses the Kohinoor
in purity as it does in weight, the In
dian stone weighing LOG IL carats, the
Cape diamond about $50 carats. He

there is no ground for believing that Jo-

weeks or a month; and it thinks that he
was probably cast ashore on the south.

and as he is known to almost every pal

to carry out the sell very successfully
whenever necessary. In case the gen.
tleman reaches the train late and finds
the lower bcrths occupied, he hunts
around until he finds a nervous travel
er in a place where he would like to be
himself. Then he calls the colored por-
ter, and asks him if he has heard any
further news of the Rev. Mr.. Smith.
