Paved with Diamonds.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. Dec, There
is much excitement at Paducah, KY,
over the report that diamond field
exists near there.
The streets of the city, it is said
are paved with what is known rs
oonglomerate gravel, which is com.
posed of aooarse gravel with an iron
solution and carboas, which is found
in moiss condition, but when ex-
posed to the air hardens and forms.
solid, compact mass This is OBJ
tanned from bed comprising eight
acres, near the city, completely isos
lated, the land surrounding this spot
being ordinary farming land.
A short time ago an amateur &C.
ologist from New York was passing
over these fields, and, noticing pc
culiar geological surroundings, be-
gan looking for carbons. He gath
cred several large pebbles, which he
claimed were diamonds in the rough,
and forwarded them to the state ge-
ologist OF Pennsylvania for exami-
nation. That gentleman replied that
the samples submitted to him was
similar to the deposits found in the
great diamond fields Of Australia
and Africa and also that he had dis
covered microscopic PARTICLES Of dia-
monds and garnets, but in order TO
give the subject more study he had
forwarded the gravel to the Smith
sonian institution for closeranaIysis.
No report has yet been received, but
the citizens are convinced that dia-
monds are in existence in that local,
ity, and will spare no expense TO de-
velop them.

WOrkingmen's Tariff AssOciR.
ton.

PnTsBURG, PA, December 7 The
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette is au-
thority for the statement that ma
tional tariff association is being form.
ed among the workingmen of the
country. By the time of the presi-
DENTAL election of 1888, it says,
thousands Of clubs will be in exis-
tence in the North and five Southern
states. The organization was start
ed in Tennessee, Georgia and Ala
bama. State organizers were APP.
pointed. The work is still going on,
and will be continued until the next
presidential fight is ended. In the
coming year organizers will be plac-
ed in the states of Virginia, and
West Virginia. Each will be thor
oughly organized and no pains spar
ed to bring out the strongest vote
possible. Together with the three
states in which the organization ex-
lists, these will be the only Southern
States in which fight will be made.
In the North each state will be
thorongly canvassed. The organi-
cation will in no way antagonize the
Industrial League of Philadelphia,
or the Protective League of New
York to be entirely independent of
either, it will yet be a most useful
adjunct.

Our Washington Letter.
December 8, 1886.

Very little has transpired since |
wrote you last. The Presidents an
nual message and the probable course
of Congress at it's coming session,
were the subjects of discussion at the
cabinet meeting this week. Mr..
Clevelands attack of rheumatism is
much better, although he experiences
some inconvenience from it still. he
has received great many letters
naming to him remedies, all OF which
were guaranteed to bring instant and
permanent cure. This would seem
an excellent opportunity for charla-
tans to get in their work. Apropos,
some one recently started the report,
that the President was largely inter
ested in the late purchase of land on
Massachusetts Avenue. 1t will be
remembered that syndicate. com
posed of leading Philadelphians,
bought for 100000, a tract of land,
in the vicinity of the Presidents
summer cottage. In justice to Mr..
Cleveland, it is well to state that this
report is entirely false. The matter
mas been fully investigated, and has
been found to have originated with a
correspondent of a San Francisco
journal, who from partisan malice
or personal animosity,' invented the
slandering yarn. The President a
few days ago, issued proclamation
making public the new extradition
treaty of the United States with ia
pan. Under it's provisions the high
contracting parties engage to deliver
up to each other, all persons who are
accused of the following crimes
Murder, counterfeiting, forgery, EN-
bezzlement, robbery, burglary. per-
jury, arson and piracy. fit be made
to appear that extradition is sought
with view to trial or punishment
for political offense, the surrender
shall not take place; nor shall any
person surrendered be tried or pun
ished for political offense committed
prior to his extradition or for any of
tense other than that in respect to
which extradition is granted.
