THE LARGEST CARBON.
T.s owner, a Brazilian Scout, Has Refuse
RI7.5OO for the Stone.

IA5 Owner, o brazilian scout, Has tSeIuse0
S17,5OO for the Stone.
Information has just reached New
York that the largest carbon ever found
has been discovered in the wilds OF
Brazil. 1t weighs 3,0S3 carats, and is al
most as big as ones fist. The carbon is
q much-sought stone. 1t is black, OF
dianondiferous composition, and is the
hardest known substance. For this
reason it is used for drilling and is ex-
tremely valuable. Small bits are found
frequently in diamond.ferous regions.
About six months ago, NJ. Is. Levy,
diamond merchant of this city, started
on the Brazil workings. He worked his
way up the Amazon, partly trip by
canoe and partly by the Plodding mule.
Thus he travelled for nine days, until
he came to n place called Jacreandor.
Near this spot former scout of Mr..
Levy, one Pedro GunZalos, had bought
tract of land 80 leagues in extent.
Part, in fact, nearly the whole, of this
stretch of property yields a choice
variety of boa constructors and wild
beasts, but as GunZalos had been fight
ing these creatures all his life he didn't
mind them. The attractive portion of
his land was a bit of clear ground on
which he had found quartz bearing car
bon. He saw in this fortune. He got
together q force of natives who were
only spasmodically Industrious. Small
bits of carbon were found; not, how
ever, in such profusion as to satisfy
GunZalos. He was becoming discour.
aged.
One day two months after Mr.. Levy's
arrival Gunzalos' workman was hum
ming a song while dislodging quartz
in perfunctory sort of way. He OBJ
served with surprise the outlines of
large carbon in a fallen piece. He gaZed
at the big stone n moment in amaze
ment, and then shouted eXultingly to
the overseer. That solemn official
danced a jig when he took it from the
workman's hand, and GunZalos treated
all hands literally when the carbon
was brought to him. A few days after
he went to Jacreandor. He showed the
stone to Mr.. Levy, who had been quietly
buying few bargains in gems.
After inspecting it critically, Mr..
Levy said: I'll give you f3,5OO for
the carbon"
Gunzalos rejected the offer with q
scornful gesture. "Pll sell it for 10,-
900, and not a pound less" he said.
But" insisted Mr.. Levy, sit will cost
e1,OOO to cut the carbon. Nothing less
than ten-ton hammer will make an
impression on it. You can see the eX-
pense the buyer will be under"
81 think shall have it kept in a vault
in Paris for the present." said Gun
zalos, land then l may send it to the
United States"
The carbon is three and half inches
long, three inches wide, and the same
in thickness. 1t is trifle spongy on
small area of the surface, hut other
wise is solid.-N Y. Tribune.

Victoria Will Not Hold ANY More Public
Receptions.


Receptions.
LONDON, June 28.-The queen re-
turned to London this afternoon, and
made what most probably was her last
jubilee appearance in the metropolis,
for with the celebration that closes at
Aldershot on Thursday next. the state
appearance of her majesty will be fin
ished, and henceforth for whatever
span of life may be left to her, Queen
Victoria will confine herself to such
work for the state as can be done at
Windsor, Balmoral or Osborne. All
of these official functions, drawing
rooms, public ceremonies opening
town halls, hospitals and the like will
now be relegated to the Prince and
Princess of Wales.
Her majesty has witnessed q scene
never surpassed in material splendor
and moral significance since the British
empire was created. The queen thinks,
so the statement runs, that she has
done enough. UneXampled devotion
and acceptance of her obligations to
her people have after 60years we'll won
her rest, and in so far as the sovereign
can, she now proposes to let the burden
of responsibility fall on those who
must bear it when she passes away.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-A Journal
! dispatch from Havana says: 80
| Consul General Lee has finally been
officially notified that Ona Melton, the
American newspaper correspondent,
| Captain Laborde and others belonging
to the captured schooner Competitor,
and one or two Americans incarcerated
| with them in Cabanas fortress, will be
called for public trial July ]. The
hearing will be before civil judges,
and judgement will be based on the
declarations previously made within
the walls of the prisons on evidence
taken by a government official or crown
prosecutor, acting on behalf of the
Spanish admiralty and war department.
The court will listen to no new testi-
mony, save in support of the written
declaration already filed. =
George Ferran, the only witness the
Competitor men were permitted to call
on their behalf, was arrested immedi-
ately after his examination and is still
a prisoner. His sworn statement was
that the vessel was beyond the three
mile limit, and had the American flag
at her masthead when seized. This
statement displessed the Spaniards,
andFerran was therefore detained here
and charged with perjury.
Consul-General Lee has as yet re-
ceived no instructions to employ coun-
sci to defend the prisoners.
A Spanish magistrate said the men
would undoubtedly be found guilty
again and sentenced to death or long
terms of imprisonment, but he added:
''Their friends should not fear their
being executed or deported. Our peo-
pie are too diplomatic to force Amer
ica's hand"
The rebel generals, Rivera and Bal
lacoa will not be shot. General Wey--
Ter has received cable from Minister
of War Ascarraga to Indefinitely sus-
pend the court-martial sentences of
death, pending the close of hostilities,
when their pardon may be expected.
General Weyler himself has taken
no steps to stop the eourt-martial and
.shoeeiag=sf other and less important
prisoners of the war. During the last
three days at Matanzas, at Sagua,
Santa Clara, Sancti Spiritus, Glen
fuegos and Pinardel Rio dozens of ex-
ecutions occurred.
AT Sagua two Cuban girls accused of
sending out clothes to their brothers
fighting under the insurgept chief
Rob4n, were convicted of aiding the
rebellion and sentenced by military
court to respectively II years and six
months Imprisonment in the African
penal colony.

WASHINGTON, June %8.-The senate

vexed questions in connection with
the tariff. 1t was decided to leave the
rate of II cents'on lead ore as fixed by
the finance committee, and also to
leave iron ore as originally determined
by the committee and passed by the
house.
The committee decided to advance
the rate on pig lead to 2f cents per
pound. This is an increase of half a
cent over the house rate, which the
committee did not originally disturb,
anc was made as compensation for
the increase on lead ore.
