Producing Diamonds by Electricity.

1t would appear, from an interesting
communication recently published, that
the author OF the article describing d
number of experiments made on car
bon at high temperatures and under
great pressures, had produced dia-
mond-dust artificially. The objects Of
the experiments had not this end in
view, however. but were TO obtain n
dense form OF carbon for use In arc and
incandescent electric lamps; for II the
''life," or duration. OF tho carbons OF
either variety OF lamp could be pro-
longed, It would considerably coon
omize electric lighting. Without en-
tering into tho details Of the expert
ments, which were not entirely success
full. although a very dense form OF car
bon was obtained, it is interesting TO
note that under the conditions mem
toned above, and by contact with other
substances, there was obtained on tho
surface OF the carbon rod, gray pow
der. harder than emery. and capable
OF scratching tho diamond. The in
ference is that this powder is tho dia-
mond itself. II electricity can be made
to give us these crystals Of light, as
well us its more transclent brilliancy.

EARLY AMERICANS.

Simplicity in their mode of living
was the marked characteristics OF
the early settlers of America.
Everything which pertained TO
them was plain and unostentatious.
The food which they ate was fru-
gally served and of the substantial
kind.
Their clothing was home-spun and
the moccasins which covered their
feet were home product, being
made from the hides Of animals and
ornamented with beads after the In
dian fashion.
Their homes were simplicity itself
consisting ofroughly hewn logs and
home made shingles-the whole con-
stitutiDg the old Log Cabin home of
frontier life.
Yet those were model homes.
The wives and mothers were well
versed in the art Of all that pertained
to housewiiery.
Conspicuous in the early home
was the striking figure of the old
grandmother.
Not only was she the adviser in
sc cial affairs but she was the medi-
cal adviser and prescriber for the
sick. Often were her hands engaged
in the preparation of some healing
otion or remedy for the relief OF
those in ill-beailh, Fully versed ip
all the bountiful supplies contained
in the grand store-house of Nature,
she wisely knew how to utilize the
curative properties contained In Ger.
tain roots and herbs and accordingly
she transformed them into certain
remedial agents, which have made
the old Log Cabin famous for all
time to come.
Conscious of the great value oil
some of those old time cures sue
cesstul effort has been made 10 re.
discover the lost secret of their prep
arations, and, coupled with all the
improvements which human ingeu-
uity and progress suggests, they are
now widely known under the name
of Warmers Log Cabin Remedies,
the most prominent being Log Cabin
Sarsapariila and Log Cabin and Con-
sumption Remedy.
The suffering public has been
quick to recognize and appreciate
their true value and the manutac-
turers are daily in receipt of much
praise for the re-discovery and re
vival of these old time remedies
againstsickness and disease.
TO the old Log Cabin home, how
ever, is Justly due the praise for al |
the good which may, thereby, be ef-
fccted.

FEAR OF DEATH.
Unquestionnbly One of the Most Ghast
Forms of Hypochondriasis.

UnquestionnbIy One of the Most GhastIy
Forms of Hypochondriasis.
There are persons whose dread Of
death is so intense that they can not
enjoy life, They are vainly told that
1t Is irrational to be continually dis
quieted about an event common to all,
and that can not be averted. Because
1t is inevitable they shudder and turn
pale at the thought Of it. This NOR.
bid fear OF the great change is not con-
fined to those who have most cause for
apprehension. 1t is shared by many
whose consciences are void of offense.
Even pious men are sometimes haunt
ed by vague horror OF the universal
doom, and in some cases their terror
takes the form OF mania, and its VIC
Tins throw themselves unbidden into
the arms OF the specter, as II drawn TO
his dread mbrace by an irresistible
fascination.
The best method OF dealing with this
CHASTITY form Of hypochondriasis, is not
to attack it with reason and philosophy.
since the sum OF all that logic can say
upon the subject OF hackneyed truism
that what can not be prevented should
he faced manfully. The promises Of
the Gospel, understandingly and trust
fully read and applied, are the only
panacea for such gloomy forebodings,
Unmanly fear flies before the cheering
assurances OF life immortal

WHILE the effort is being made to get
an appropriation large enough to buy
site for the new Postoffice at San Fran
cisco the fact ought not to be overlooked
that the lot selected for the new Los An
eeles Postoffice is grossly inadequate for
the necessities of city which already
numbers nearly one hundred thousand
inhabitants. and which is growing with
great rapidity. The Government ought
not to stand out for the penny wise and
pound foolish policy in the matter OF
public buildings. 1t is the truest
economy to recognize the fact that this
Is growing country; and ttat Federal
building, in order to be adequate for its
purpose, ought to be large and elegant.
If the site selected for the new Postoffice
were built up to the lines of the adjoin-
ing lots it would not be more than halt
large enough.

New YORK, January 3.-Information

more than the Trafalgar and Nile, Eng

Charles @. Allen was to day appointed
receiver of the firm of Henry Werner,
wholesale dealer in hides, on application
of Simon Strauss, the European partner
of the firm. The liabilities are said to be
100000; assets $3.50, 900 in hides. The
receiver saiG a partnership quarrel was
the cause of his appointment.
The sale of Boucicault's plays in the
Madison Square Theatre was stopped to-.

who was in the audience, and said he

Boucicault said he had never received a

The sale will not go on until the titles are

MAYOR BRYsoN yesterday signed the
ordinance granting the franchise to the
Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad after
guarantees had been presented to Linn
that satisfied him personally that the
project was in strong hands. As an ear
nest of their intentions to build we learn
that the promoters of this enterprise de-
posted five thousand dollars in the
Mayors hands, and they also paid over
six thousand dollars as their contribution
.swa-ds the expense of building the new
city bridges. 1t is understood that the
work of making the East side levee will
begin at once. The HERALD has reason
70 believe that this new railway has
. powerful backing in New York City,
and that it will result in connection
with road coming East which will give
this city another transcontinental rail-
way. 1t will traverse a region abounding
IN cheap coal and valuable ores and will
make Los Angeles great smelling and
manufacturing center.

caused his defeat. The county officers,
instead of selecting the election judges
and inspectors from the two great parties,
appointed none but Democrats. What
the Republicans of the South particularly
want, says Hawkins, is a national cleo
tion law that will take the Presidential
and Congressional election machinery
entirely out of the hands of the State
Legislatures. He will not state what, if
any, views General Harrison expressed
on the subject.
BAILEY SURPRISED.
The announcement from Washington
to-day that the President had withdrawn
the nomination of Leon o. Bailey, as
District Attorney for Indiana, and sub
atituted the name of Judge Solomon
Claypool, of this city, created great sur.
prise. 1t is learned tonight that Judge
Claypool received an autograph letter
from the President last Thursday asking
him to come quietly and Immediately to
Washington. He left the same evening
and had long conference with Presi.
dent Cleveland, and returned home Sat.
urday night. Not even Acting District
Attorney Bailey knew of Claypool's trip
to Washington, and Bailey was 10th to
believe tonight that his nomination had
been withdrawn.

Mrs. j. ELLEN Foster, the Iowa tenn
perance lecturer, who was the head of ar

city to-day. She will call on Genera
Harrison tomorrow and congratulate
him. This afternoon Mrs. Foster de
livered a lecture to ladies where
in she urged them to maintain campaign
organizations for the purpose of educating
women in political matters. Mrs. Foste
says che proposes to tell General Harri
son what the women did toward electint
him, and asserts that many of the ladieI
secured direct pledges of votes fol
the Republican candidates. "We
stand on the Republican plat
FORM" she declares, "and are opposed
to third party Prohibition movements
Our work will be continued, not will
the same zeal and activity that charac
terized it during the campaign, but on
organization will be held together. Ii

cation over his election, We have no favo
of any kind to ask.
