Martins Statement.
The campaign has been notable for its
bitterness, both IN the senatorial and gu
bernatorial fights. and much Ill feeling has
been engendered. When the result became
known last night Senator Martin said:
when the campaign commenced the cry
of my competitor was Back to the people,
We have been back to the people and L
am satisfied with the verdict of the people
The earnest. able and unselfish assistance
of my friends is most gratefully appre-
ciated. To the people of Virginia / feel
drawn nearer and closer than ever and the
vindication they have given me not only in
tensilies my sense of obligation, but will
stimulate me to greater efforts in endeav-
oring to advance and promote the best in
terests Of the state"

covered black stone in Sac Jose.
They took the stone to one of their
huts and sought to discover its nature
by attempting to crack it. All their
efforts were fruitless, the stone resist
ing the most powerful hammers, and
after a time it was thrown back into
the river. The stone weighed about
10000 carets, and at the present price
of $40 carat represents a loss OF
$500, 900.
The exploitation or the Brazilian dia-
mond mines by the Garimperos, 1t is
unnecessary to say, was not scientific.
The crevices of the rocks are explored
with the hand, the gravel being taken
away in little barrels which are car
ried on the head. Attempts have
been made to lessen the time of the
work by diving for the mineral, but
the violence of the stream is such
during the rainy season that this plan
has been but dittle adopted. The only
method which will produce results and
the one which will shortly be put in
operation is that of draining. Dams
will be erected 300 feet apart and
centrifugal pumps viii be installed for
the purpose of drawing off the water
The results Of the work cannot be a
question Of doubt, Judging from the
past performances of these diamond
mines.
The question naturally arises, why
have the diamonds been found in the
Sac Joso? The answer to this is not
difficult, and is given when we state
that the original rock-which former
ly occupied the high plateau-has been
gradually disintegrated, the debris of
the rock being carried by rains into
the Sac Jose. Because of their dinsity
the black and white diamonds were
concealed under the sand, together
with the mineral accessories which
surround them and which are the In
dications of the precious stones. Thus,
in the course of years, these beds have
been formed, beds the richness of
which is incalculable.

and-May-do you dislike him as
much as you did Do you think you
should like him?"
Certainly not; nothing would ever
tempt me to like Sir Heron Letchford.
Goodnight, child" and tucking in the
bedclothes, and giving them a last
farewell pat, she goes out.
Far different is the return home OF
the Letchford party.
In the rigid discharge of her duty,
Lady Letchford has remained to the
last country dance, fully aware OF
the fact that her departure will be the
signal for the flight of the rest of the
arisocrats-and, consequently, for the
would-be aristocrats, also-and when
at last the Void carriage is announc-
ed, she goes down to it with stiff
face and stony gaze. Scarcely a word
does she speak during the drive, and
but for Vane and his sister silence
supreme and ice-like would reign in
the gloomy chariot, for Sir Heron sits
in his corner, apparently asleep, with
his eyes hidden beneath the brim of
his opera hat, and his arms folded.
And so he remains until the carriage
draws up to the door. Then he hands
the beauty into the hall.
SIS there any coffee about?" he asks.
"In the drawing-room, Sir Heron, .

are fixed with an embarrassed stare,

There. close behind them, stands my
Lady Letchford, like statue Of Fate

and contemptuous, shines the fair face

the picture, Mrs. Godfrey Turner
sails in, and stopping suddenly, stares
likewise 1t forms what a stage man
ager would call can interesting tableau.
But cool and undaunted, Sir Heron
confronts the three pairs of eyes and
does not arise.
"You have just come in time. Mrs
Turner, you may well stand transfixed
with wrath and dismay! l am the
sacrilegious wretch whose barbarous
foot has wrought this deed! Show
your consideration for a penitent
wretch by assisting him to repair the
wrong he has committed.
This puposely verbose explanation
has given time to all parties, and es
pecially to May, to regain their self
possession.
With cry of dismay Mrs. GeOffrey
Turner hurries forward and takes his
place, Lady Letchford elvates here eye
glass and stares at Mays downcast
face for a moment, then puts her hand
firm as adamant, for all her furiously
beating heart, upon Rose Vavasour's
arm, and is about to turn away, but
Sir Heron is ruthless.
Mother, will you let me introduce
you to this lady, who will, perhaps
accept your assurance that l am not

upon him that he doesn't even know
Mays name. But Mrs. Turner has re
tanned her wits, and arising, says
softly, deprecatingly:

given you, Sir Heron. Lady Letchford
this is Miss Dalton, of Gresham
House."
May raises her eyes with a quick
gesture of reputation, and the color
flashes into her face as he lifts 1t
haughtily and confronts the proud old
woman's steel-cold eyes.
For moment Lady Letchford looks
at her with naughty disdain, but pres
ently-it seems an age at such mo-
ment as this-the sturdy, defiant pride
in the young brown eyes staggers-it
is the only word-staggers her, and
she bends her head.
But May does not give the faintest
acknowledgment of the salute, but
stands statuesque, immovable, and
for the first time in Berkshire history
Lady Letchford of the Wold receives
a decided rebuff.

A PARTISAN RESTAURANT.

I shall refer to one restaurant in
Paris. If you have never dined at
Voisin's, in the Rue ST. Honore, dime
there the next time you are in Paris
You will have no difficulty in finding
it. AS you come out of the Nouveau
Cirque it is one minutes walk on
your left; opposite to it is the Church
of the Assumption. 1t is one of the
last of the classic restaurants left in
Prasi. Philippe's, Cafe Richie, Ber-
bant's, Maison dor, have all gone.
When YOU enter from the street you
pass at once into the restaurant. On
the ground floor there are three mod
est little rooms in which You dine. In
the first room there are two ladies
who will make out your bill, and if
you fail to salute them upon entering
you need not be surprised if you are
charged two francs additional in your
bill. You may sit down at one of
the snow-white tables, and if by
chance a Partisan is beside you VINO
has envelOped himself in his napkin
SO that he resembles a ghost, do not
let prejudice prevent you from doing
the same. Very quiet and peaceful
is Voisin's. In my recollection they
never kept a waiter who could speak
English. If you order red wfne, the
Burgundies and Bordeaux have the
reputation of being the oldest and
most carefully selected IN Europe.
The dishes are dear, b 1t YOU need not
order more than three. Order a sole
cooked in the way mentioned in the
bill of fare. The ways of cooking
sole invented by the chefs in France
are innimerable. 1t must be the am
bition of every good little sole finally
to be taken to Paris and be cooked,
say, a la Colbert or au vim rouge.
Select one entdee, and finish with a
Chateaubriand aux pommes, and your
bill, divided by two, will not be a
heavy one. If you ordered as many
dishes as you find on the menu Of the
table Hhote in the Hotel Continental,
madame would make out bill which
would be appalling Jour
nal.

DIGGING BLACK DIAMONDS.
How the Precious stones are Un-
eartFed in Brazil.

World Wide Magazine.-The black
diamond is an important article of
commerce, not because it is, destined
to embellish the hand of feminine
grace, but because of the fact that it
has been widely applied in industry
where it is almost as valuable as the
white fellow. The home of the black
diamond is Brazil, the classical land Of
the diamond, the richest beds of the
mineral having been found in the
province of Bahia and on the banks
and in the bed of the Sac Jose river.
The stone, which is perfectly Opaque,
is not beautiful, and if the magical
word diamond had never been applied
to the substance there is no doubt that
to this day the black diamond would
be thing unknown. However, the
favor which this mineral enjoys is Of
very recent date, for 20 years ago its
properties were unknown and the
trade in the stone was practically no.

The constantly increasing perfection
of boring instruments brought out
the value of the black diamond, the
use Of diamond point drills now having

CHAPTER VII.

1t is quite among the small hours
when the Dalton carriage dashes up
the avenue, and Mr.. Dalton-looking
unhappy Che has made an excellent
supper and won five shillings and six
pence at the whist-table), and May en-
ters the house.
Oh, youth! thy limbs are pictured as
of the softness and tenderness of a
child's but surely they are of stoutest
wood and sternest iron! May has
been on her feet for hours, and those
feet have scarcely been still for thirty
consecutive minutes; she has danced
nearly every item of the long pro-
gramme, has promenaded miles around
the beeswaxed floor and gallery and
still keeps WEAKNESS at arms length.
Papa Dalton rubs his eyes and gapes
aloud, the huge footmen yawn behind
their gigantic hands like exhausted
Cog and Magog, but May stands erect,
her cheeks flushed, her brown eyes
shining like diamonds, her lips half
apart, her heart still beating with the
rapid pulsations Of pleasure and eX-
element.
Mr.. Dalton eyes her with sleepy ad-
miration, and with a novel and en-
barressed respect. 1t is the first
time in his life he has been aroused
to the fact that this daughter of his
possesses something more than bad
tember-beauty. At intervals he had
paid visits to the ballroom, and had
seen her dancing, walking, laughing
with the great Sir Heron; and, sleepy
as he is, his brain is full of ambitious
dreams.
ahem!-you're looking well
tonight, May he says. II hope you've
enjoyed yourself. 1t was capital
ball, think"
"Was it not?" says May enthusiastic
cally. "Where were you, papa? did

"Quite forgot me, I dare say" Mr.
Dalton, with a chuckle. "Quite right,
my dear-quite right. But I didn't
forget you. 1 saw you-saw you dane
ing with Sir Heron. He seemed
ahem!-very attentive, polite, and, er
all that"
ooh, very" says May, with little
laugh, as she remembers the long,
stalwart figure on its knees.
"Sir Heron is Ais one of the most
influential men in the county" con-
tinues Mr.. Dalton, looking at her
"the most influential. 1t gave me
great satisfaction to-er-to-"
"To see me dancing with him" "
says May, with little extra color.
