SWEET PROSPERITY.

Where 1, 200, 900 Pounds of Sugar Is Made
Per Week and Everybody Is Happy.
A Napoleonville correspondent of the
New Orleans Nmes-D Democrat writes as
follows:
The weather is all that could be de-
sired, and cane cutting and grinding are
further advanced than have ever been
known. The yield is excellent and the
extraction far above anything on record
Mr.. l.. Godchaux's Elm Hall refinery
barreled up 100000 pounds of sugar
the past week, the production of seven
days grinding. About 900 tons of cane
per day passes through the reliefs, 49,
600 pounds Of granulated sugar falls
from the vacuum pans every six hours,
and under the skillful management of
Mr.. Eddie Godchaux there is no letup in
this vast aggregation of machinery, not
for a minute. With 500 men under his
supervision not one hesitates, but all
know their duty and do it by some kind
of instinct, as it were.
During the day 100 wagons feed the
nav of this monster mill with cane, and
at night 800 cars are pulled in with 1 1000
tons OF cane to appease the ever crying
call for more cane. About eight miles
of railway are required to handle this
vast crop. A Baldwin locomotive will
take the place of mule propulsion in
few days. Yet with all this immense
acreage and all this cane to handle the
indomitable enterprise of the manager
has led to the incorporation of about 800
acres more new land, and even now can
be heard the terrific blasts of dynamite
operating with fatal effects on the
stumps that block the progress of the
plow.
If any one were to mention the fact
that this country was now in the throes
of great financial panic-that is, in this
section--he would be sent to an asylum
for safe keeping. Times were never bet
ter, and altogether prosperity is ON top,
and everybody ia happy.

THAT WONDERFUL DIAMOND.
It Is the Largest Ever Known and Is Worth
$4,000, ,OoO-How 1t Was Found.

It Is the Largest Ever Known and Is Worth
$4,000, ,OoO-How 1t Was Found.
Captain Jonas Anderson of the firm
of Westergaard & Co., shipbrokers of
this city, was the center of group of
curious ones recently as he carefully
opened box which had been mailed to
him all the way from Cape Town. AS
he unfolded layers of paper wrappings
everybody was on the qui vive, and at
last he triumphantly displayed plaster
cast of the newly discovered Excelsior
diamond, the largest known in the world.
The discovery of the monster diamond
in the Jagersfontein mine was made on
the evening of June 30 last Captain Ed
ward Jorgansonn, the superintendent of
the mine, who is a son-in-law of Captain
Anderson, was just quitting work after
seeing the men out of the diggings when
suddenly bright lump attracted him,
and he stopped top pick it up. At the same
time a native Basut truck driver saw it
and grabbed it. Captain Jorgansonn told
the native to take it to Manager Clifford.
That gentleman pronounced tia diamond
of the first water and worth about $5,-
100000. 1t was a curious fact and much
commented on that firm, Messrs. Brett
meyer & Bernheimer, had just contracted
with the company to take over all its
finds for one month at certain price,
and the very first find on their contract
was the Excelsior.
Extraordinary precautions were taken
in transporting it to the coach. A troop
of the Sixteenth lancers escorted it to
Cape Town, where it was transferred to
the gunboat Antelope, and is now de-
posted in the Bank of England. The
British government has offered e500,000
for it, which has been declined. The
Chicago Worlds fair commissioners
were very anxious to get the giant bit
of costly carbon, and offered to insure
it to the extent of So, 500, 900, but the
proprietors were obdurate and would
not let the stone cross the ocean. The
stone is white, with blush tinge, and
reflects all the colors of the rainbow.
1t measures 8 inches in length, 2i
inches in its broadest part, and weighs
9714 carats, or II ounces avoirdupois.
The only flaw is small black spot right
in the centre. This, however. can easily
be cut out. The Emperor Of Germany
is said to be negotiating for it's purchase.
