Where Diamonds are Found.

An Exchange: South Africa, whose
diamond mines were discovered only in
1867, now produces from her four chief
mines-tbe DeBeers, the Kimberley,
the Bultfonetin, and the DutOit's Pan
most of the present diamond yield.
These mines paid in dividends last year
$40, 600, 900. A few months ago Kim
berley shares were quoted at e40 and
the De Beers at e36. The De Beers
people desired to consolidate the two
mines. but because of the difference in
the market value of the shares Of the
two mines the owners of the Kimber
lev refused to consider such PROPOSE
ton. Lately, however, it appears that
De Beers shares have taken an I'M
accountable boom, springing in a few
DAYS from e38 a share up to 951 and
Esq a share, and at the same time the
De Beers people have secured control
Of the Kimberley. This increase in
De Beers shares has tended to brighten
banks. because diamond mining is like
gold mining-shares are apt to assume
unnatural valuations on reports OF new
finds that may or may not be true.
1t is considered a remarkable fact
that the four mines mentioned are still
situated within a radius of one and a
half miles. The capital invested in
them is $40, 600, OOO They are near
Hopetown, in Griqualand, west, now
part of Cape Colony. They produced
last year 3, GAG, 800 81 carats, valued at
$40, 600. 600 in the rough in round NUM-
bers. The value per carat viii run
from SO to $50 After cutting the
yield last year was worth probably
$40, 600, 600, about SO, 600, 900 worth
being imported to the United States.
The large finds in South Africa have
had a tendency to draw attention to the
almost abandoned diamond mines in
India, and there have been organized
two diamond mining companies, one
the Hyderabad & Deccan, to work the
mines in the Valley Krishma, where
famOuf KOhinoor is supposed to have
been found, and the other to operate
in the Madras presidency, where the
Gor-du-Nur, weighing twenty four and
One-falf carats, was found in 1882. The
GOr-Du-Nur is valued at $15, coo.
Brazil, once so famous for its dia-
mOnds, does not now yield over per
cent of the present products of the
world.

Grants Plan ofIuvssion.

do you know that Gen. Grant
once planned an invasion of Spain ."
said a prominent army officer to a New
York Herald reporter at was in
1874. - he continued, and the idea grew
out OF the butchery of Ryan, the fiji
buster leader, and nearly 100 of his
followers at Santiago, Spain. The exc
cution of these unfortunate men was a
most burrarous one, for they were led
cut IN body, with pinioned arms. and
compelled to kneel In row IN front of a
rude trench that had been dug beside a
wall. They were then shot and their
bodies buried IN the trench.
The affair caused much excitement
and horror, and had not Spain made
reparatiOn there would undoubtedly
have been a war. Gen. Grant was
president at the time, and he made
every preparation for hostiiities in the
event of Spain refusing the demands
of the United States government. He
sent for Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan and ten
dered him the command Of an expedi-
tiOnary force he intended raising should
the necessity arise, and Mai. Gen.
George G.. Meade was selected as Sher-
idan's chief of staff The preparations
went so far that Meade offered me a
staff appointment, which 1 accepted,
and thus became familiar with Grants
plans. He intended to issue a call for
80, 600 veterans of the civil war, both
federal and confederate, and the officers
were to be selected from the large num-
her. We knew would offer their services.
This army of 50, 600 men was to be
modified in the neighbOrhOod Of New
York and a fleet prepared to carry it
across the Atlantic in two divisions.
The idea was to pretend it for service
on the island Of Cuba, but really to land
on the coast of Spain and march inland
to Madrid. Both Grant and Sheridan
deemed the movement q feasible one,
and had the United States declared war
it would have been attempted. There
were two reasons for carrying the war
into Spain. The American navy could
not compete with that of Spain, and
Grant wanted, to make the war a brief
and decisive one. Every. general who
had been informed of the part he was
to take was enthusiastic over the
programme, and none doubted Sheri-
dams genius to make it successful. The
English are talking about an invasion,
yet it is not generally known how near
Spain came to having an American
army land on it's coast and push for
ward to Madrid One of these days
such an expedition will cross the
Atlantic, for it would be safer for the
United States to invade than to wait
for invasion.

Two Kinds Of Courage.

Indifference to danger Is not always
the form of courage which should en-
title its possessor to the highest credit, q"
says Gen. Horace Porter in an article
on ''The Philosophy Of Courage" in
the Century, 1T is negative virtue
as compared with the quality which
enables one to perform a dangerous
duty, while realizing the full measure
Of the peril encountered.
'.These two traits are best illustrated
by the old story of the two soldiers
whose regiment was charging up a hill
In a desperate attempt to capture
battery. When halfway up, one of
them turned to the other and said,
Why, you're as pale as a sheet; you
look like a ghost; / believe you're
afraid. Yes, L am, was the answer;
and if you were half as much afraid as
1 am you'd have run long ago. 1t is
something higher than physical courage,
it is a species of moral courage, which
recognizes the danger and yet over
masters the sense of fear. When the
famous mine in front of Petersburg had
been completed, and the national
troops drawn up ready to charge the
enemy's works as soon as the mine had
done it's work in creating a breach. the
signal was given just before daylight,
the fuse was lighted, and the command
stood waiting with intense anxiety for
the explosion which was to follow But
seconds, then inmates. then tens of
minutes passed, and still no sound from
the mine. The suspense became pain
ful, and the gloom of disappointment
OyerSpread the anxious faces of officers
and men. The fuse had been spliced
about midway. 1t was now thought
that there was defect in the splice, and
that II was at this point that the fuse
was hanging fire. The day was breaking,
the enemy was becoming alert at sight
of our unmasked columns, there was
not moment to be lost. Lieutenant
Doughty and Sergeant Rees of the 18th
Pennsylvania infantry, now volunteered
TO examine the fuse. They entered
the long dark gallery which led to the
mine, and without stopping to calculate
the chances of life, calmly exposed
themselves to one of the most horrible
forms of death. With no excitement
to lend them its intOxicatiOn, with
nothing to divert their minds from the
fate which seemed to await them, they
followed the course of the fuse through
the long subterranean passage, found
the defect at which the spark had been
arrested and made a new splice. On
their return the match was again ap-
piled, and the train was now prompt to
do it's deadly work. These men dis
played even a higher order of courage
than those who afterwards charged into
the breach"

Flour Production.

The Northwestern Miller, published
Friday, says: "The output of the mills
fell off still further last week, and was
the smallest in a long while. Fourteen
mills made -four last week, and the
total production was III 400 barrels
averaging IS, 567 barrels daily
against 123, 400 barrels the week before,
and 50. 675 barrels for the correspond
ing time in 1887. All the mills Will be
shut down Saturday for the milIers'
picnic, and the week Will be short
that much. There are seventeen mills
running today, producing about %, 500
barrels in twenty-fOur hours, but some
of them were late in starting, and,
together with other lost time, the week
Will be made a very short one, with the
output probably not much ahead of
last week. AS there is very little i'm
provement in the flour market, the
tendency is stronger than ever to re
duce the -four product by shutting
down. The mills at present are run
quite irregularly, one or two only get
ting in half time, while more are idle a
week or more at a time. Others barely
get enough orders to squeeze along on,
and a few firms keep their mills going
through the liberal capacity of their
stOrehOuses. At present there are up
ward of 100 600 barrels of -four Gall
grades stored in Minneapolis The
-four market is still very inactive, with
what little demand there is Of a hand
to mouth character The decline In
wheat has enabled miIlers to lower
prices somewhat. The export trade is
still extremely light, though one large
firm reported sales of about IT'S cars of
bakers Monday, mostly for London.
The price was not given, but was
claimed to be not a low one. The di-
rect exports for the week were %, 600
barrels, against D, 400 barrels the pre-
ceding week.

The Crop Outlook.

The weather conditions for the week
ending the 23rd have been favorable to
growing crops and conditions have i'm
proved in the upper Mississippi and
Missouri valleys, and in Michigan, al
though heavy local rains in Missouri
are reported to have injured wheat and
hay harvesting. An excess of rain Is
reported from Arkansas, Louisiana and
Mississippi which has been unfavOra-
BILE to the cotton crop. In the west
ern portion of the cotton region less
rain and clear weather would doubtless
benefit the growing crops, while IN the
eastern portion of the cotton region,
including Alabama, North Carolina and
South Carolina, the weather has been
favorable for all crops. In Ohio, In
diana and Connecticut more rain is
needed, while generally throughout
the middle Atlantic and New England
states the weather Of the past week has
improved the crop conditions. Har-
vesting is in progress in Tennessee and
Kentucky, where the weather cOndi-
tions have been favorable for wheat and
corn and favorable Tor grass.
