By the Daily Independent, South African diamond fields, of March 29th, we are informed of the finding of a perfect stone weighing 5O2 carats, or 16 carats heavier than the largest diamond yet found there. The same paper contains an account of terri ble mutiny on board of Swedish ship bound from Boston to Africa. The captain and first mate were severely wounded, and the second mate killed and thrown overpoard by the muti- neers, who were finally overpowered and confined beneath matches. Upon being signalled, the barque Kaffir went to the relief of the Swedish ves- sel, and furnished sufficient men to work the ship. Two of the mutineers were then shot, when the others sub- mitted and resumed duty.

ASKING TOO MUCH.

Black Friday, September 23d, 1869, and Black Wednesday, May 14th, 1884, are indiSsoiubly linked with the name of General U. s. Grant. The recollection of those days will follow him and become part of his history, and necessarily blacken brighter pages of his eventful record. Grant, since he had nickle to rub against anoth- CT, has been gambler; first on the shores of the Pacific, and subsequent ly in Wall street. On the day referred to, in 1869, according to his brother in-law Abel Rathbon Corbin's testi- mony before congressional commit tee, he won by assisting Jim Fisk in demoralizing the country's finances. On the memorable Wednesday, not having Jim Fisk to help him, he did the work himself, and being appalled, by the ruin he has wrought he stands aghast, and points at his partner, Ward, and says, "He did it," when, as everybody knows, Ward did not rank above corporal in that militaSy-civic firm; and now that they stand in- dicted by public opinion, the Grants, father and sons, in order to let them selves down easy, make scapegoat of Ward, man whom they found in New York acting as curbstone bro- ker, who, during the memorable but brief co-partnership, was simply the executive of Grants orders. He had no will of hls own. Had it been otherwise it might, perhaps, have been better for the commercial interests of the country, and prevented the col lapse of the banking house of Grant & Ward, which resulted in the with drawal of public confidence from other and more worthy monied iusti- tutions, and their consequent downfall.
 With these too apparent facts, and the additional one of his protection and pardon of revenue robbers, en- gagged in the nefarious whiskey frauds, he is again endorsed by congress re
 storing him to the highest rank in the army, and retiring him upon full pay as general, upon the shallow excuse that he must be provided for, notwith- standing every member of that august body is we'll informed of the fact that besides his wife's ample estate he is possessed of trust fund of $250,0O0, which affords him an annual income of fS15,l00, payable quarterly.
 And now as it is an accepted truth that Grant has failed to provide for his illegitimate offspring on the Pacific coast congress, to be consistent, should also provide for them, as suggested by
 |fe Ei f faso Lone Star, so "as to en- able them to rise above the life of shame their father taught them.'

Jerome B. Chaffe, father-in-law of "Buck" Grant, is left penniless by his trusting in his daughters husband who has not only got away with his fortune, but the s4OO,Oo0 presented to his daughter at the time of her marriage to young Grant. His last loss was occasioned by the perversion by Grant of a special deposit of $50O,OOO placed in the hands of that inexperienced youth for safe keeping, for a brief period. Chatfe in consequence of his loss, like Rachel weeping for her children, refuses to be comforted.

Tho trial of the U. s. vs. J. R. Man ming for cutting timber on govern ment land, which occupied the time of the U. s. court in Tucson, resulted in a verdict of acquittal. It is evident from the result of this case, and those of wood choppers recently before the U. s. district court in Phoenix, that the rulings of the secretary of the in- terior, which authorizes the cutting of timber for mining and domestic pur- poses, prevails and IS regarded by the courts as good law.
