Children as Finders of Diamonds.

The discovery OF diamonds in South
Africa was brought about by two Dutch
children, who tossed diamond in the
air ana caught it, thinking that it was q
pebble. They were playing the childish
game one day in 1867 when John
OReilly, an interior trader, stopped at
their fathers farm in Griqualand West,
near the Vaal River, to trade for skins,
aud he was attracted by the peculiar clear
ness and trans nsparency of the pebble.
He, asked one Of the children to show il
to HIM, aud litter he had examined it he
i value. es =,
name, laughed when O'Reilly offered to-
buy the stone, and said that plenty of
them could be found in the river.
o'Reilly accepted the stone as gift, and
promised that if he succ eeded in selling
it he would give half of the proceeds to
Van Niekirk toward the expenses of
educating the girl, which was the Dutch
farmers greatest desire
AT Hope Town the stone was eyI
amined by many traders, but nobody
supported O'Reilly in the belief that it
was valuable, its size being too large.
ORellly kept it carefully until he had
time to send it to DIR. Atherstone, a,
capable authority in Grahamstowu, who
said that it was a diamond of about
twenty-five carats. Some time after
ward Sir Philip Wodehouse, then Gov
ernor of the Cape, bought the diamond
for $500. On his return to the Vaali
O'Reilly gave $125O to the little girl,
and asked her if she had any more peb-
ei-,,,H ,1 the stone came from the river,
as Van Niekerk had said, more must be
there, O'Reilly argued, and he hired
natives to COLLECT for him oil the traus-
parent stones they could find on the
river banks. Sackful after sackful were
examined, but O'Reilly found only one
more diamond-a four carat stone.
That is the story of the
discovery of diamonds told by J..
Thorburn in the London Graphic. 1t
agrees with the authorities in describing
children as the first finders, and it Is
probably true in regard to details, be-
cause he was one of the men who went
to the Vaal to search for diamonds after
the news of O'Reilly's find had been
spread among the traders and settlers.
For three years after O'Reilly's fud the
banks of the river were washed fof
diamonds, but not many were found.
The finding Of some diamonds in the
mud walls of a hartebeeste hut led to the
opening of the dry diggings, Thorburn
says, and soon the most profitable search
was in the ground of the now famous
Du Toits Pan, De Beers and Kimberley
mines.-NeD York Sun.

Tie Real Australia.

Among the tacit misconceptions into
which distant critics are most likely to
fall about antipodcan affairs is that which
is based upon ignorance OF the enormous
area aud possibilities Of the colonies.
Especially is this likely in the United
States, where the assumption NAV be
that, as the population of Australia is
about the same as that of the thirteen
original seaboard colonies Of America, the
surface over which they are distributed
is also approximately the same. AS a
matter OF fact there is no suca proper

Frenchmen Regret the Loss of the
Diplomats. His Literary
Attainments.

Attachments.
A cablegram from Paris says: The
death of the earl Of Lytton, British am
bassador Of France, has caused the most
profound regret In this city. All the
papers publish articles on the dead dip
lomat, and all speak in the highest terms
of fshis great advf0a So his country. The
papers pay high Z l5Ss2s TO the earl's lit
.rary attainments, and they all concur in
the opinion that in hisdeath France has
lost a sincere friend. IS
In an article on the latA Acarl, published
by The Evepement, that vaper saws the
presence of the earl OF LSyon in Paris
was more reassuring pedAe of peace
than all the protests made by Ae cabinet
of st. James. st
1t has been practically decided that
the remains of the late earl of Lytton, the
British ambassador to France, be inferred
at Kenilwoith, Hertford, England, as
soon as the necessary arrangements can
be made.
At the request of the dead poet,diplo-
mat, no flowers will be placed upon his
coffin, and, in all other res poets, the fun.
eral will be of the most simple de,crip.
ton. There is no doubt, the friends of
the dead man say, that the earl's death
was brought about, directly or indirect
ly, by the sanitary condition of British

MOAULEY PARDoNED.
The Governor yesterday pardoned A. A.
G.. McCauley. sentenced to the penitentiary
in March. 1883, in the County Court OF
Rockingham for ten years for outrageous
assault.
The reasons for executive clemency were
that the penalty inflicted was so light as to
convince the Governor that there was Sc
rious doubt in the minds of the jury as to
the prisoners guilt, and the fact that the
injured girl. upon whose testimony Nc
Cauley was convicted, has frequently made
affidavit that her entire statement was
false.
