How the Difficulty Was Met.

A good story is told of Judge Kent.
the well known American iurist. A
man was indicted for burglary, and the
evidence ON the trial showed that his
burglary consisted in cutting aghole
through tent in which alpertons
were sleeping, and then projecting his
hand and arm through the hole anc
abstracting various articles of value
1t was chained by his counsel that.
inasmuch as ,he'never actually entered
into the tent with li4st@hole BODY, he
had not committed the ofense charged,
and must therefore be discharged. o-s,
Judge Kent, in reply to thisn plea,
told the jury that if theylnwere not
satisfied that the whole man was In
volved I'M the crime they might bring
ina verdict sof guilty against SO mucl,
of him as was thus involved. I. u ,.,s,-,

found the right arm, the right shoulde,
and the head Of the prisoner guilty OF
the offense of burglary: 'l ...s s y. .

DIAMOND MINES IN BRAZIL.

The Work of Digging Was Formerly Done
by slaves. Who Were Watched.
In Brazil the gem bearing sands are
In similar manner washed either In q
wooden bowl and in current of wa
ter and it is only short time ago since
this work was performed by slaves un-
der the eye Of watchful overseers. The
pick and. shovel are used for disagree.
eating the gravel bank. Tie water
next washes away the soil, sand and
clay. The small gravel remaining Is
spread out In the sun, and the rays OF
light quickly distinguish the precious
stones contained therein. j l.. =
The seekers acquire after time a
marvellous readiness, and there exists
between them an ardent emulation, be
cause the finding OF agstone above, the
average is not only soon proclaimed, but
the finder is specially recompensed, and
only few years ago the slave who
found a diamond beyond certain
weight received his liberty at once.
In many diamond diggings, accord
ing as the miner finds a stone. he
places It into kind of wooden or BAN
boo case, the outside of which is morc
or less decorated, and to which 81
perstition is often attached. A case
which has already held many handsome
gems is accounted good talisman to
insure the finding of others, and the
negro workmen place great Importance
to these precious little tubes
It will be easily understood that dur.
ing work, and especially before leaving
the place of work at the Gloss aof the
day, the miners are subjected to the
minutest search; but ID spite OF this
thefts are frequent, facilitated as they
are by the extreme small size OF the
precious stones, and also by the circum-
stance that the, miners may very easily
have small pieces with them that are
their property, because these little gems
are taken as current money In the dia-
mantiferous countries, in the same man
ner as gold dust passes current In au-
riferous regions.
When the agents OF the government
or large corporations who work these
mines have received from the miners a
certain quantity of trough, it Is In
closed in strong leather bags, securely
closed and loaded upon jack mules,
which, under military escort, are con.
Quoted to the nearest town or port.
During the past centuries all the
rough diamonds sent to Europe came
by way of Amsterdam and Antwerp,
where the Dutchman Berguen had In
1875 perfected, if not discovered, the
cutting of this Incompatible gem. But
since the beginning of this century large
traders and immense cutting establish.
ments were established, at London,
Paris and other capitals, and Geneva
also possesses at present fairly large
establishments, in which are cut indis-
criminately either the diamond, garnet
or other precious stones.-Jewelers'

Literary Value of a Name.

right that it should. Fame Is the re-

which no fair minded person can doubt
the justice. But that it is the "all es-

The religion of Stonewall Jackson is

q scorn and a derisioa. To those who
seek a subject for carcature, the &C.
centricities In which he carried some
things 30 an Sxtrsme furnish plenty
of material for their small wit. Such
was his ngid observance Of the Sab
bath. Not only did he refrain from
all worldly occupations on that day, he
would NOT even write letter, nor read
one if he received IT. even though it
was from her who was to be his wife.
He was sure that It would keep its
sweetness till the next day, and mean
while he had the pleasure of anticipa
ton.
Nay, more he would not post let
ter on Saturday, lest It should travel
on Sunday. One exception, however,
he was compelled TO make. Sometimes
he had to fight battle on that holy
day; but that he looked upon as "a
work of necessity" If not of mercy"
and then he would keep Monday! So
scrupulous was he not to defraud the
Lord of his Just due that he would
sometimes keep two or three days rum
