There are as many different qualities in
diamonds as in horses. Diamonds may
be round, oval-oblong, rounded squares
or square; the cuttings may be mathe-
matically correct, fine, fair or POOR. A
diamond may be Of the proper depth or

in fact, there can bc many hundreds of
differences in o one carat stone.
AS Jefferies, the diamond dealer and

should be as clear as pure rock water,
perfect in shape, and not only pure white,
but lively, showing fire, as it u called.

AT THE BRICK YARD,

Last Saturday was an exciting day at
the brick yards and an interesting one
for Austin generally. In the morning
kiln was opened which contained about
25, 900 pressed brick calculated for the
new Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul de-
pot at Winona. The opening of the kiln
showed the brick to be, what the tests
had promised, superior article in every
respect. In ring, in weight, IN hardness
and IN durability, they come up complete
ly to the hopes of the hackers of the en-
terprise. For these bricks, there was no
separation of the different colored clays.
and they are of beautiful variegated
color, that we think, will be very attrac-
tive to builders. The color and appear
ance of the brick. suggests the name of
''granite brick" for the out put of our
clay bed. We shall be surprised if the
"Austin granite brick" do not make hit
on the market.
In the afternoon two cars were loaded
and started for Winona. The event was
celebrated by large turn out of citizens,
who marched with a brass band, to the
brick works to see the departure Of the
first shipment of pressed brick. The car
was appropriately draped with bunting,
and along the side of the car was the
legend First Shipment of Austin Press
ed Brick" Addresses were made by sew
eral citizens and general enthusiasm over
the growth OF Austin's new industry
reigned. The government test Of the brick
at Washington proved so satisfactory,
that the company is now crowded with
pressing orders for brick, and they will be
obliged to enlarge their plant at once.
They are making large quantities of fire
brick for their own use, and will push
the manufacture of pressed brick as rap
idly as possible.
