American Diamonds.

H
Altogether about 100 American diamonds
have been found. The most recent discovery
was in the summer of 1886, when a diamond
was found in the spring on the Alfred Bright
farm in Dysortville, Mcdowell county, N. G.
While boy was drawing bucket of water his
attention was attracted by the brightness of
the stone. 1t was sent to Tiffany & Co.'S,
where 1t was tested and proved TO be a dia-
mond. The stone was distorted hexoctahed-
ron with partial twinning; its length was ten
millimeters and its width seven millimeters.
1t was quite perfect and transparent, but had a
grayish yellow tint.
This stone being more than an average find,
George Ii. Kunz thought it would be of interest
to visit the locality, and while there he fully au-
thenticated all the facts of the findings. No trace
of garnet. periodotite or any of the associations
OF the diamond were found near the spot. The
sediment at the bed of the spring was taken out
and carefully examined, as were also the small
hollows on the adjacent hillside. This diamond
must, therefore, have been transported in decom-
posing soil from distant higher ground in the
vicinity during heavy freshet. Its value as
gem, not counting any value its American origin
may attach to it, would be from 100 to $50
A number of small stones. exhibited as dia-
monds, have been found at Brackettstown near
by. They are identical with the supposed fine
diamonds found by Capt J. c. Mills in his
mine at Brindletown - that is, transparent
zicron or smoky colored quartz, the former of
which has luster that is readily mistaken for
the diamond by inexperienced persons.
number of pieces of rough diamond, exhib-
lted as from the same region, are of South
African and not North Carolina origin.
A stone weighing three and one-half ounces
and said to be diamond which was found by
): ). keyser In digging for coal near Ponks,
Neb., proved not to be such, although the ex-
eltement 1t caused was certainly genuine.

Where the Sugar Went To.

From the New York Sun
great mystery in certain household in
Boston has been solved. The head of the
house, who bought sugar by the barrel, often
wondered ''how in the world the family used
as much sweetning as they did" and his wife,
who was not much given to going into the
kitchen, said she guessed they didn't use any
more than other folks. But one day she did
go to the kitchen. and arrived Just in time 10
see the cook in the act of throwing a scoopful
of graduated white sugar on the fire. Sugar
is exceedingly inhammable. and its application
made the fire fash up in fine shape. The girl
confessed that she had regularly used sugar to
quicken the fire. ''Sure, num-" she said. 1--WE
must have the fire, an the coal burns that slow

Refused Mt the Altar.

From the New York Evening Sun.
The church was thronged with people.
White flowers decked the altar-rail, and wait
ing behind them, arrayed in immaculate robes
stood the bishop. who was TO weld in one the
two fond hearts that up TO that hour had beat
IN unison. Up in the organ-loft sat the Organist.

face turned from the instrument and fixed Oh
the bishop, who was to give him the signal for the
wedding march," In the robing-room stood the
groom and the best man, arrayed in evening
dress, likewise awaiting the opening strains OF
the wedding march" which we're to announce
the arrival of the bride. Suddenly the doors
at the rear opened wide, and there stands Mar
jorie. the beautiful daughter of the house of
Smlthers, soon to assume the head of the fam
lily of Higgins. jr The bishop drops his hand
kerchief. The organist strikes the opening
chord of the march. The groom and best man
appear at the chancel. The congregation all
turn to see the bridal procession as up the
broad aisle the ushers, maids of honor, and the
bride on her fathers arm advance. A hum OF
admiration bursts forth from the guests az
Washington X. Higgins takes his brides hand
and the twain step to the altar-rail. Then q
hush comes over all as the bishop makes the
opening prayer.
But what is the matter with Marjorie?
She clutches wildly at the altar rail.

All is in confusion. The groom starts back
in despair. His best man rushes for water.
Let us draw q curtain ON the scene.
1t is six hours later and Marjorie is at home
and seated on her fathers knee.
And why, my daughter" he asks gravely
why did you refuse at the altar to wed the
man of thy choice?'
Because father" the girl falters, 'b-becaust
