A change came upon the demeanor of

"Oh, a diamond?''
The greatest diamond in the world. In

holding up the thing before mine eyes. Even
Saint Simon, that priggish little duke of
ours. tells me that France should have this
stone, that 1t is a dignity which should not
be allowed to pass away from her. But

said Law.
Naturally, for I say to you that this
stone had never parallel in the history of
the world 1t seems that this overseer in
the Golconda mines got possession of it in
some fashion and escaped to Europe hiding
the stone about his person. 1t has been
shown In different parts of Europe. but no
one yet has been able to meet the price
Of this extortioner who owns it9'
And yet, as Saint Simon says, there is
no dignity too great for the throne of

I have Of my own funds a half million

please. That should be some small guaran-
tee Of my good faith In these plans.
Monsieur Las would seem to have fol-
lowed play to his good fortune"
Never to so good fortune as when first
I met your grace" replied Law. I have
given to games Of chance the severest
thought and study. just as much more
have I given thought and study to this
enterprise which propose now to lay be-
fore you"
And you ask the patent Of the crown
for your bank?"

A slow frown settled upon the face of

''It Is you VINO must prove tneSe Things
which you propose"
Let 1t be SO, then" said Law, with
conviction. II make no doubt shall obtain
subscriptions for the shares. Remember
my words. Within few months you shall
see trebled the energies of France. Money
is the only thing which We have not in
France. Why. your grace. suppose the col
lectors of taxes in the south of France
succeed in raising the kings levies. That
specie must come by wheeled vehicle all
the way to Paris. Consider what loss OF
time is there, and consider what hindrance
to the trade of the provinces from which
so much specie Is taken bodily and to
which it can return later only little at q
time Is it any wonder that usury is eat
ing up France? There is not money enough
1t Is the one priceless thing; by which
I mean only that there Is not belief, not
confidence, not credit enough in France
Now, given a bank which holds the con-
fidence of the people, and promise the
king his taxes. even as promise to abolish

and that producing comfort, and comfort
making easier the collection Of the king's
taxes"

A NATURAL RESULT.

II is very reasonable 10 suppose II the
foundation of a structure was removed
that the building itself is bound to
come down. This same principle can
be applied TO disease. Take a medi-
cine into the system that will remove
the cause OF sickness, and the illness
leaves OF itself. Dyspepsia, indiges-
tion. sick-headache and biliousness
have their foundation in stomach dis
orders. Remove this weakness and
the other symptoms are no more.

Heavy Thunderstorm.

A hail and thunder storm struck
Jackson Sunday afternoon that has
never been equaled within the memory
of old residenters. Hail stones as large
as marbles fell for several minutes, and
flashes of lightning and roar of the
thunder was something terrible. The
storm lasted fully two hours. Some
chunks of frozen rain were measured
and found to be three quarters OF an
inch in diameter. Young chickens
were killed at Jackson Gate and other
places by the hail. It is reported that
goslings even were battered to death
by the storm. 1t appears to have been
confined within very narrow limits.
Its path was east to west, and its
width was not more than four miles.
Sutter Creek on the north and Butte
City on the south were just outside of
its path. 1t extended from Pine Grove
to below Mountain Springs. 1t did
considerable damage to the vegetable
gardens, but the fruit was too far ad-
vanced to sustain material injury.
During this storm the rainfall measur-
ed half an inch, making total OF %. 95
inches for the season, against 32.53 for
the same period last year.

VOLCANO.

VOLCANO, May 26.-All the baseball
enthusiasts deserted town last Sun
day in order to witness the game that
took place at Pine Grove in the after
noon between the Jackson and Pine
Grove teams. The game was a bad
one, aud therefore not interesting. A
violent thunderstorm interrupted the
game in the fifth inning, and so put a
damper on the score, which threatened
to pile up as high as the pines. The
game stood something like q to IL. The
Volcano team would like to have set
to with the Jacksons, and a future
meeting was talked over, but no definite
conclusion was reached.
The above mentioned thunderstorm
was the most violent witnessed in this
section for years. The water came
down in great torrents, accompanied
by hail stones OF extraordinary size,
and though the shower was only of a
short duration it did q great deal of
harm to the young fruit and to some
hay recently cut down.
We have had a surfeit of travelling
shows of late. The moving picture
business seems to be overdone. Some
of it is notoriously bad.
A good many of the boys are pre-
pairing to take in the Italian picnic next
Sunday.
The young band OF Volcano is seri-
ously handicapped this summer. The
opportunities for work in the woods
have scattered the players SO that only
about half of them are able to be
present to take lessons and practice,
but good foundation has been laid to
take up the work in earnest next
winter. GRANDAD.

Brusie Gets A Good Appointment

Jud G. Brusie, who was born and
raised in the valley section of this coun-
ty, and made his debut in public life as
the representative of Amador county
in the assembly, has just received the
appointment OF attorney and general
representative on this coast of the
Aetna Indemnity and Bond Company.
The company has recently been reor-
ganized with increased capital, and it
is reported that the position of Mr..
Brusie carries with 1t fat salary. The
many friends of Jud in this county will
be pleased to hear of this slice of good
fortune. Brusie left this county after
serving one term in the legislature,
and settled in Sacramento, where he
remained for number of years. For
the past year or so he has been in San
Francisco. He is a man of much
ability, and will no doubt acquit him.

Charles L. Calkins Dead.

Chas. L. Calkins, at one time con-
nected with the Amador Record, died
at Lovelock, Nevada, on the 2Sth
instant. The Chronicle of the 29th
says:
Charles L. Calkins, widely known
California newspaper man, special
writer on the mining industry and as
sociated with his brothers, William P.
and Thomas D. Calkins, in the publica-
ton OF the Pacific Coast Miner of San
Francisco, died of pneumonia at Love-
lock, New. on Tuesday last. His fatal
illness was contracted while visiting
the mining fields of Nevada, among
which he had been engaged since the
tlrst OF the year. He was son of M.
ID. Calkfns, pioneer journalist and
miner and founder of the Amador
Record of Sutter Creek, and brother
OF Leonard S. Calkins OF the Nevada
City Transcript, postmaster of that
place and past grand chancellor of the
knights of Pythias of California. The
deceased had been associated with a
number OF newspapers of the state in
past years, and had very wide ac-
quaintance and popularity among the
mining men of California and Nevada.
The remains were forwarded to San
francisco Wednesday for interment.
