Tax GonId,n Raxa.

George Gould is far more frank than his father, says the Brooklyn Eagle, and though less distant to those with whom he is dignity and has many of his fathers man . nerisms. Eddie is dude, pure and simple. There is nothing bad about him, and he has done one or two clever things on the street, but his chief concern is his clothes, which are all imported and many. various and gor- geous in character, and on which he bestows the major part of his time and attention. He affects great exclusiveness and plumes himself upon his parentage to an extent the Percys and Towards together never dreamed of. It is safe to say that when Eddie gets his share of his fathers estate he will set it iR circulation at once.

cOLORRD RFPURLTOAN CLUB.

NvAVE2HW A& Hk n AAOAN N CA O ESs Parade, Banner Raising ana Maaa
 Meeting Last Might.
 The Colored Republican club held grand rally and flag raising last evening at Days hall, corner of Broadway and York street. The hall was completely filled. The inside ceremonies of the evening were preceded with a street parade. Red fire was burned pro- fusely all along the route. The line of march was from the hall through Dixwell avenue to Goffe street, Gofe to Webster, Webster to Ashmun, to Eaton, to Dixwell avenue, to Broadway, to York, to Chapel, to Church, to Elm, to the hall, where they gave three rous- ing cheers for Harrison and Morton.
 The clubs banner was then flung to the breeze amid the strains of 'sHail to the Chief" by the band and a fine display of fire- works. The club then lined up and marched into the hall where Chairman Willis Bonner opened the exercises. First came singing, spoke tersely of the merits of Harrison and Morton and said Cleveland's chances of re- election were small. He alluded to CIeve- lands vetoes of soldiers pensions and said the Republican party was the party which was most attractive and satisfactory. It would make 8 cLeau sweep or the OoF00cEacY next November. (Applause.) The band now played a selection.
 Rev. Dr. Miller followed in a stirring speech, after which the band played again. The next speaker was MT. Robert o. Martin, who made glowing appeal for the triumph of the Republican party next fall, ia which case there would be better chance for col olored mems having their rights in voting at the South than there is under Democratic rule.
 MT. J. R. Groves spoke vigorously and re- lated instances of Democratic prejudice against the colored race.
 Mir. Hubbard of the Young Mems Repub- Scan club was next introduced and spoke of the great growth of the Young Mems Repub- Iican clubs in the United States and the en- thusiasm they kindle everywhere for the cause. The club in New Haven were doing nobly. It seemed clear that the Republican party. was the only one that could most strongly appeal to the hearts and votes of the colored race.
 During the evening resolutions were passed warmly endorsing the nominations of Harri- son and Morton and pledging best endeavors for the cause.
 The meeting adjourned at a quarter to eleven with three cheers for the ticket and Lkraa mora for the banner.

 The Hardest Thing Known.
 Within five years the study of the dia- mond hes developed some of the eccentrici- ties of this most precious of nature's forma- tions, says the New York Times of June 29th. One of the most extraordinary of these eceentricities was brought out recently by an experiment at Tifany's great estaD- ishment in this city. In recent lot Of dia- monds purchased by the Tifanys was fine specimen of tsround bort" and MT. George F. Kunz, the miueralogist employed by the I firm as gem expert, determined to test its hardness on the polishing wheel. Round 1 bort' is distinct form of diamond, called | by the French ''extreme durete," and is ! harder than any other kind of diamond known to exist The specimen to be experi- mented with had been cut into the usual 1 form of the brilliant, and it's "table" or face | WAS placed on the polishing wheel. For one \ hundred days it was kept on the wheel, \ which revolved twenty-elght hundred times per minute. The point at which the dia- mond came into contact with the rotating surface was about fifteen inches from the axis. It was calculated that the diamond passed over surface amounting in the ag- gregate to seventy-fve thousand miles. Not withstanding that the pressure placed on this diamond was gradually increased from two and one-fourth pounds (the usual WelgnD 10 forty pounds, the gem refused to take pol ish sufficient to give it commercial value. On the contrary, it ploughed into and badly damaged the wheel, throwing constant scin- tillations in all directions. In paper pre- ! pared by MT. Kunz on the subject of pecu- liar specimens of rough diamonds he refers to this "hard round bort" 'tIt is." he says, t'often called the rolled diamond,' but this ! is a palpable misnomer, since the diamond cannot be rolled. There is nothing in nature hard enough to abrade it except the diamond itself, and this is never found in sufficient \ quantities. n

hood of Eng neers and Firemen on the Bur-

ten O'Clock yesterday morning or as soon
thereafter as they had pulled their trains TO
the end OF their divisions. When every
thing was running smoothly, $50 engineers
and as many fremen were employed, but
the strike on the %" system, OF which the
Burlington & Northern was feeder. had
reduced the number to about seventy. FIVE
Very few Northern men are in the city,
most OF them having gone to their head
quarters at La Crosse. Those here are
quiet and peaceable in their behavior and
determined in their action, and state posi-
lively that they will not return to work at
the present scale of wages.
At the Burlington offices the officials
gave assurance that all trains would arrive
and depart on time as heretofore. One Of
the officials, questioned as to the cause OF
the strike, said: st was not because the
men had any grievance. but simply to help
their brothers on the o. out Of hole"
