WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT.

The show windows in GAINESVILLE
now make mans mouth water.
They are filed from bottom to top
with the choicest goods in stock and
are done up in style that always
makes fellow stop and look anthem.
1t takes money, however, to go into
these windows and carry off some of
the fancy goods, and therefore a
newspaper man can only look at
them-that'5 all. While looking at
the good things the following lines

A LEAF-CHRONICLE reporter was
passing the Northern Bank corner
last night when he was stopped by
four ragged negroes, who begged
him for enough money to buy a loaf
of bread. They each had papers
showing that a contractor on the
Mineral road owed them money for
hard work they had done, and for
which they could not get enough
money to keep away hunger. Going
on further the reporter passed thr, e
contractors, who from all appear
anCes, had just finished a sumptu0us
meal, and had settled it down with
wine. They were smoking fine
cigars aud chatting like they were
contented. The contractors, in other
words, feast while the men who do
the work beg "A loaf of bread. There
is something radically wrong in the
management of the business on the
Clarksville Mineral road and the
whole thing seems to be a burlesque
on justice. No wonder the mistreat-
ed beings burn up Crossties and

STORY OF A DIAMOND.
IL Was Obtained by q Surgeon from q
Brazilian by Sharp Practice.

Il Was Obtained by q Surgeon from q
Brazilian by sharp Practice.
A rare diamond, weighing nearly four
carats, now in New York, has a re-
markable history. It was found, says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch, in the gold
district of Brazil by a native who did
not know its value, but kept it as a
'luck" stone. One day while Journey
ing to a camp of traders with his gold
dust he was bitten by a serpent. Ap-
plying the sntidote known to the peo-
pie of that country, he proceeded on his
way, but had not gone far when he was
again bitten. He treated himself for
the second wound and continued on his
journey. While STOPPING to drink from
brook the fangs of snake were fas-
tened in the bag which contained the
stone. On reaching the camp he was.
found to be succumbing rapidly to the
effects of the venom, and when ques-
toned by the camp surgeon told how
the snake had seized the bag at his
throat.
The surgeon was permitted to see the
stone, and, suspecting it's real charac-
ter, he told the native that it was ex-
tremely dangerous to have It about him,
Us it attracted venomous reptiles, and
tdviscd him to sink it in the nciChbor.
ng brook. The superstitious finder OF
j!,o diamond acted upon the suggestion,
.Eld the covetous surgeon, having
watched the proceeding, availed him
self r. the first opportunity to fish the
;"m from its hiding place. The dia-
rlond was purchased recently from the

eRAzIL's NEW IMMIGRANTS.

Largo Numbers Arc Prosperous and Con-
tented.
There are satisfactory reports from
Rio de Janeiro about the condition of
the one hundred thousand Italian, Pol
ish, German and Hebrew immigrants
who have settled in Brazil within the
last two or three years They are ex-
ceedingly well treated by the authori-
ties and the new republic, and by the
native citizens of localities in which
they may be pleased to take up their
abode. Those Of them who desire land
have no difficulty in procuring it, and
those who seek employment in the
mines, or in trades, or at unskilled Ia
Dor do not need to remain idle.
Such of the immigrants as have taken
up the work of cultivating the soil, says
the Chicago Tribune, find that they can
raise many kinds of fruits and other
natural products which they never saw
in Europe; that the fertility of the soil
surpasses the reports they had heard of
1t, and that the climate in many re-
gions of the republic is entirely salts
factory to them. They find also that
free public schools have been estab-
lished by the central and provisional
governments, and that a system of uni
versal education will soon be adopted.
So favorable are the accounts that
the immigrants have sent back to the
countries whence they came that the
Brazilian authorities look for a vast in
crease OF immigration during the COM
ing year, especially from Italy and
Prussian Poland. The great landlords
in the last-named country arc alarmed
by the flight Of thousands of their Ia
borers to Brazil, but there is no lilkeli-
hood of the success of their efforts to
prevent it. Italy can spare several mil
lions of her people, who are sure to i'm
prove their condition by settlement in
Brazil.
Furthermore, it is known that the
rich jew, Baron Hirsch, has offered to
transport half million Russian Jews
to any part of the South American con-
tinent, and the probability is that
Brazil will be the country chosen for
them. The Brazilian government is
doing all that it can do under the cir
cumstances to encourage immigration,
but it will do much more as soon as its
affairs are in perfect order, so that the
funds needed for the work can be ap-
propriated.

easy matter. The model has been made OF
wood, and is about three feet in diameter.
It is not a cylinder, nor wheel,
yet the principles of both are util-
lied. A gravitated rotary motion
is giSea to the thing by means
of sliding arms, which shift as required
upon short spokes, the latter again being
secured to a revolving shaft. These spokes
are not secured wheel-fashion, though, as
might at first be supposed, but three OF
them are fixed side by side at
different angles to the perpendicu-
lar. Upon this are fixed short spokes,
long arms slide by means of small wheels
which facilitate matters, preventing fric-
ton. By these arms the heavier weight IS
constantly kept to the momentum side of
the revolving shaft, thus keeping 1t IN
motion. When they reach certain angle
just past the lower vertical point, say at
1s5 or 100 degrees, that is, when
the half circle has been described
downward from five or ten degrees past
the upper vertical pole TO similar num-
Der of degrees beyond the lower one, the
sliding arm is raised by means of pulley
and-lever mechanism so as to lift
1t within guard rail and extend
its upper end to its utmost limit.
Extending this arm upward at the
angle of five or ten degrees just past the
upper vertical pole is what gives the grav-
ity-momentum to the revolution. The
sliding arm is prevented from slipping
back by guard rail of about quarter of a
circle, and the lever used TO raise
it is regulated by a drop-cog rod and pulley
at one end and weight at the other
Each arm has its own independent guard
rail and lever mechanism, and at the end
of each arm are attached small wheels to
prevent friction within the guard rail.
Messrs. Peterson and Lindblad are con-
fident that they have discovered perpetual
motion at last, and they invite investiga-
ton.
