THE DIAMOND.

The diamond has been SO long regard
ed as a natural crystalline form of car
bon that one remembers with surprise
that this assumption rests on such slen-
der scientific support as the similarity of
atomic weight, and the property of its
gaseous combustion product to cause a
precipitate in baryta or lime water. AS
it appeared not Incompatible with this
knowledge that the diamond and carbon
might bear the same relation to each 9th
er IS nickel and cobalt. Professor Vic
tor Meyer has suggested the further in
vestigation OF the subject. In order to
obtain derivatiye whose preparation en-
tailed no loss Of material and yet admit
ted of easy determination of its physical
constants Herr Krause led the product
of combustion in oxygen gas over red
hot copper oxide and then into amonia
water, from which solution he made the
neutral sodium salt. This salt was found
to correspond to tie chemically pure car
Donate in its crysilline form, water of
crystallization, solubility in water, melt

to the identity of the two substan ces.-

For The Adcertaser.
SWEET TIME, STAY.

Bright youth i'll the woods calm and cool
Lingers by the side of the sylvan pool,
Where in dark MI ght the witches assemble
In mystic dance, making the tall lilies
tremble;
They wander in the old forest dim,
Where every tree is filled with voices
Trilsing Natures beautiful hymn,
While the warm, sweet earth rejoices.
Sweet Time, Stay!
Happy youth! whose fearless bosoms
Are filled with wealth of follies rare;
Who sit and mock at sorrow,
Looking in each others eyes,
Rushing forth to greet each tomorrow
With glad and new surprise.
Glorious youth the spirits of earth and
air
For you, from life are distilling its es
sence rare,
Sweet Time, Stay!
Father Time, art thou not longing for
reSt2
Stay, while the sun sinks into the golden
west;
would hide thee in shadows away,
And cheat the curious eye of day.
l would bury you deep in the flowers;
Q, stay and hold the hasty hours;
Keep them dreaming, softly dreaming of
eternity,
Those happy hearts so glad and free
Sweet Time, Stay.

Since 1t is not four weeks until the No.
vember election, and the county road
amendment Is to be voted on, it be-
hooveth the voter TO examine in'o
the merits or dement's of the
question. As the law now
stands it governs all the state alike.
Texas is a great state. and law that
would be a nuisance in one part of the
state is greatly needed IN another sec
ton. Now one general road law governs
the whole state. In the sandy section it
is sufficient to keep the roads in good
condition, while in the black land 1t is
found to be entirely inadequate. II the
amendment is adopted it gives
to each county the right to vote
local additional tax for road
purposes. This, we believe, Is the only
way that the question could be equitably
adjusted. 1t leaves the matter after the
law has been passed still in the hands of
the people. II any county wants this
additional tax they can get it by voting
it; II not, vote 1t down. If the people of
Texas are capable of seif-govsrnment,
vote for this amendment and let them
attend to their own business. II they
are not capable of doing SO, appoint
guardian for them and turn the business
over TO him.

Ten Year. for Cattle Stealing.

srecial to the Gazette.
DECATUR, TEX, Oct. 23.-The court
of appeals yesterday affirmed two cases
against Girls Reynolds for stealing cattle
from Capt. Ira Long. The jury gave
Reynolds the severest penalty allowed by
law, ten years in the pententiary.
Capt. Long lost nine head of beef steers,
and several other persons in his commu-
nifty lost cattle, for which Reynolds was
indicted. In the trial II DEVELOPED that
several others were implicated in the
wholesale business of appropriating other
peoples cattle without their knowledge
and consent, but there was not suffic Client
evidence to secure other indictments.
However, the one indictment was suff-
Gent TO put an entire stop to the bust
ness, which had been carried on for
quite a while. Reynolds is a young man
about twenty five years of age, and is of
good family
