The Crack Local Team Has No Trouble in
Defeating the smyrna Club.


Smyrna was easy for Rockford in
the game on the Union street grounds
on Saturday afternoon. The home team
put up their usual good game, with the
exception OF five errors, and the contest
was interesting, Notwithstanding it was
so one-sided. Hess pitched for the visi-
tors, and at the beginning of the con
test it looked as If Rockford would
never get done hitting him, but after
the first inning he steadied down and
did better. He showed the results of
being overworked, however, and had
IT not been for general good support,
the club would have suffered a still
worse defeat. Kenny was in tho box
Tor the home team. He was steady and
but six hits were made of him. lie
tielded his position well.
There was only one thing to mar the
pleasure of the spectators. \ crowd of
indecent toughs managed to get into
the grand stand, and the oaths and vile
talk that came from their mouths not
only made life miserable for the other
occupants of the stand but prevented
those who had paid their money from
hearing. what the umpire or anybody
else said, except the rufiians them
selves. They were evidently drunk,
and having a little change, started in
with the opening Of the game to bet
on all toe movements of the PLAYERS.
Their betting was accompanied by Wells
and curses that could he heard all over
the grand stand, and although they
were appraised of the presence Of women

DIAMOND MINING IN THE FREE
STATE.

For several days the papers have
been full of kilograms with reference
to Mr.. Robinson's latest investment
in the way of a diamond mine. We
are now in a position to give the full
particulars regarding the same. The
Kaal valley mine, situated about nine
miles from Ventersburg road station,
in the Orange Free State, has been
formed into a powerful company,
Mr.. J. B. Robinson having purchased
the full half share in the mine and
surrounding properties from Mr..
Mlnter, and has also joined the Kim
berly syndicate, who hold the re-
naming portion of this mine, and
who have already spent about 1884,
600 in the erection OF machinery cap
able of washing 1000 loads of stuff
per diem.
The capital of the new compannyi is
&400, 900, OF which G10O, 900 is set
apart as cash working capital. OF
this Mr., Robinson and the syndicate
have taken upf5O,OO0, the remainder
being held in reserve
About 1000 carats weight of dia-
monds have been found already in
washings, amongst them being
stones of %, IS, IA, II, 10, 8, and 7
carats, and all are of superb quality.
The mine is producing the finest
quality of diamonds ever found in
South Africa, and the various parcels
of stones from it have been valued by
experts at from 35s. to ass, per carat.

THE PA SSING OF STANLEY.

Men who knew Henry M. Stanley
when he was a newspaper man will
not be surprised at the early pass
ing of the African explorer. He has
non almost entirely dropped from
public notice. Among a number of
New York publishers who were dis
cussing the matter the other day, it
was stated that Stanley was now
living in the small suburbs of London.
He has a comfortable small house
there, but ever the neighbors scarcely
know who he is. Not long ago, one
of this book talking group said an
article from Stanley came to New
York, and it actually went begging
for a publisher! This seems very
strange when one considers that it is
only three years ago when one of the
S%cribners hastily packed his valise
and went to Cairo, in Egypt, to mead
off other publishers and secure the
American rights to Stanley's book
He received a fabulous sumforit, sold
the English, Indian, Australian, Can,
adian, German and French rights
separately and made a small fortune
out of the book. Then he came here
and lectured and added thousands o
dollars to his resources. Now, thos,
who are in a position to know ques
ton whetherh he could draw a paying
house at moderate prices.

CAUGHT BY A MOUNTAIN LION.

Jesus Ma. Elias had an experience
the other day that he will not be apt
soon to forget. He was en- route to
Tucson from San Carlos accompanied
by an Indian. Night overlook them
in Box canyon, about twelve miles
from the reservation. They stretched
out their blankets, and were soon in
dreamland. About midnight Mr..
Elias was suddenly jerked from his
blankets, and woke in great pain.
A mountain lion had crept up to the
sleeping men and closed its sharp
teeth in one of Elias hands which
was exposed, and attempted to drag
him off. AS soon as he realized the
situation, Elias seized once of helion's
ears with his free hand and gave a
yell that brought the Indian to his feet
in a hurry. Ashort struggle followed
during which the lion made its es-
cape. Elias had his hand dressed
when he reached Tucson. 1t was
badly lacerated, and it will be some
time before it is fully healed. Elias
and his friends regard his escape from
death as something remarkable

1t has been decided to erect larger
machinery at once with a capacity OF
manipulating 1000 to 5000 loads
per day with ease At the present
time only about 80 to 40 per cent. OF
the soil is washed from the mine, the
remainder being placed on the floors
The washing of even this small per-
centage is yielding a good profit,
which not only overs the total ex-
penditure, but leaves a good margin
as well. The diamondiferous soil
deposited in addition on the floors is,
OF course a most valuable asset.
The Robinson diamond mine is, as
far as can be ascertained, the best
diamond mine yet discovered in
South Africa outside the Kimberly
group.
A few notes with reference to its
remarkable discovery will be interest
ing. The extraordinary manner in
which the formation wasfound again
proves the marvellous speculative ma.
ture of South African soil. Situated
in one of those shallow pans which
are dotted all over the immense prai-
rie-like plains Of the sister republic,
prospectors discovered on its surface
a few small pieces of carbon. 1t was
decided to sink a few shafts to ascer-
tain whether the pan contained any
diamondiferous formation. After
sinking through only fifteen feet of
surface soil, which was of a clayey
nature, a thin layer of sandstone was
exposed, which, on being penetrated,
proved to be the crust Of the true
yellow diamondiferous ground. In
this, garnets, carbon, green pebbles,
and small diamonds were found.
The wash proved exceedingly heavy,
and the yield of stones increases with
the depth of the mine in a remarkable
way.
The character of the Kaal valley
stones is totally different to any
other South African diamonds, and
the Robinson diamond mining COM
pany promises to be a factor in the
gem market before many months are
over, as the operations for develop
ment and proper equipment of the
mine are to be undertaken with the
greatest vigour and expedition

THE USES OF HOT WATER.

The best methods of using hot water
are as follows; For sprains OF the
ankle and wrist or anyjoiut the part
should be thoroughly soaked for hall
an hour at a time, night and morn
ing, in very hot water, writes A. Mar
cv, M. D., in a very valuable list OF
domestic Household Remedies" in
the January Ladies Home Journal.
Any one sufferingf from a severe sprain
will not require more than the first
soaking to convince them OF the ad-
vantages of hot over cold water. A
flannel bandage should be applied
firmly after each treatment. For
bruises very much the same method
should be followed, although the APP
plication need not be continued tor
so long a time. For wounds and
sores the best method is to drip or
pour for a few minutes. For styes
and inhamed eyelids, and even for
sore eyes, use water as hot as can be
borne, by sopping. To stop bleeding,
very hot water applied to the raw
surface will be found eficacious. For
many forms OF dyspepsia and bilious
ness, particularly a catarrhal condi-
ton Of stomach, a goblet of hot water
drunk after the nights fasting, will
give relief. Forcontinua application,
in the form of a poultice, as in catarrh
of the breast, pleurisy, pneumonia,
ETC., a jacket of cotton batting wrung
out in hot water by mea of a towel,
and covered with oiled silk or waxed
paper, should be used.

MIXED METAPHORS.

A certain politician, recently con
demning the government for their
late policy concerning the incometax
is reported to have said: They'll
keep cutting the wool off the sheep
that lays the golden eggs until they
pump it dry"
Extract from a speech made at a
meeting to promote total abstinence:
"Thc glorious work will never be ac-
complished until the good ship TEN
perance' shall sail from one end ofthe
land to the other, and with a cry OF
'Victory!' at each step she takes, shall
plant her banner in every town, city
and village in the United Kingdom"
An Irishman, in the midst ola TRADE
against landlords and capitalists, de-
clared that "if these men werelanded
on an uninhabited island, they would
mt be there half an hour before they
wouldhave their hands in the pockets
of the naked savages."
Only a few weeks ago, a lecturer
at a big meeting gave utterance to
the following: "All along the untrod-
den paths Of the future wecan see the
hidden footprints of an unseen Hand"
"We pursue the shadow, the bubble
bursts, and leaves the ashes in our
hands,"
One of the regulations of the West
Boston Bridge Company reads: "And
the said proprietors shall meet annu-
ally on the first Tuesday of June, pro-
yided the same does not fall on a
Sunday"
An orator at one Of the University
Unions bore off the palm of merit
when he declared that "the British
lion, whetheritis roaming the deserts
of India or climbing the forests of
Canada, will not draw in It's horns
nor retire into it's she'll"
