THE DIAMOND
Its value arises from its being the,hardest
of knoWn.bodies, and reflecting a great
quuti
tity oßight; with a beautiful play of colors;
Diamends are either limpid, or 8011 C shade of
gray, yellow, blue, or green: and !We chiefly
broefght from India or Brazil There are in
r-stances of their being found 'in the'll. States
They ate generally met with in the beds of
rivers, mixed with .sand or gravel, and often
incrusted mare or less with iron ore. The
primary crystal is an °Mat:droll The dia
mond mines -in India life - chiefly in 'the king
dom of Golconda, theprincipal of which are at
till:: foot of the Gate mminchins, and conflux of
. F -two rivers. The largebtiOry is now Olitnill. ,
cd frOlll.the interior of Brazil, neat. 'l`,Pico, due
• north of the'inolith 'of the 'river Bio Janeiro.
The country is covered by,gritstone ropits,
of rounded qtetrtzose pebbles, and abounding
' in streams of water; under the nod, at the
bottom of the river, is a bed of ',pebbles and
gravel, out of which the diamonds - are washed:
It is related that a slave, hunting dianiondti
' in Ili% bed of a river in Brazil, struck his crow
' bar on a spot which sounded.hollow, and, re
1. posting his blows, his bat' went through a crust
of silicious particles, cemented by oxide of
iron; on removing which, he discovered a
nest of diamonds,, ipt quantity exceeding all
precedent, ; _l do not know whether thieve were
several pecks or half busltehif lint they sold
diamond merchartt for more:than a' mil
lion of dollars, and so overstocked the English
market, that nearly lathe dealers in didmonds
in. London failed. r2l. 'Urge house in Leaden
hall street stood the shock, and Mr. Tenthint
says, on calling on that firm, they showed him
,
literally a peek ft/11'0f diamonds.
The :quantity of .diamonds obtained from
Golconda, morally went to Alio Prinees . 4
India, and tzt Delhi, there was, in the 'days of
its greatness, a Peacock Throne, which stood
in a great hall of tile palace; whose walls were
inlaid with crystal. and, consequently, gave a
blaze of iight when illuminated. The throne.
Wei error an dual form, placed under • a palm
tree; which -overshadowed it, with its foliage.
A Peacock. placed on one of the large pal
mated leaves, stretched its wings to cover the
personage seated oit the throne. The paint
tree and peacock were of pure gold, the feath
ers and leaves en thin and delicate as to ware
in the widd; tile tail arid wings of tht peach
were Set with superb cuteralda and suphires,
and the fruit of the palm tree was executed in
Golconda' diamonds, all in exact Imitation of
nature.
But few diamonds of any great size have
been found. Nature is sparing of 'Wien in
this respect. The' weight of diamonds is ex
pressed in what. re Called carats, a weight of
about four grains. It is said that the Kohinoor

The .Eniperor of RUSSiti owns the,nekt largest

and is about the size of a pigeon's egg, weigh

About twenty years. ago, a-little 'lien girl
was observed playing with a brilliant stone,
which she had picked up in sonic place, but
which her ic'arents only regarded as, ,a pretty

ONE OF EARS ANDERSON'S-STORIES
. A great queen. once reigned, in whose
gardens Itlootned the lovelieSt flowers from all
parts of the world, aievery season of the year.
But above all• other flowers she loved roses;
and, therefore, she possessed khe greatest va•
riety-of these, from Out wild hodg,e•rose, with
green, applo•scerited loaves, to tit - tint - 6st beau •
tiful rose of Provence. They grew on the
castle walls, twined round the pillars and
1 over the casements of the corridors and 811,.
loons; and the roses varied in scent and color.
But care and sadness dwelt in that palace;
the Queen lay on her sickbed, and the phy
sicians said she must die. "There is however,
a- remedy for her,' said the • wisest among
them. ' Bring to her the fitirest rose in the
avOrld—the one which is the expression of
the highest and 'purest litve-=if that conies
beibre her eyes crc they-close, she will not
die.'
And young and old came from all lands.
wish roses, the loveliest that bloomed in every
garden, but none • was the right one. The
flower must be brought from the garden of
love; but what rose could he the expression
of the highest, purest love'?
And the poets sang of the fairest rose in
the world—each one namad his own. And
messengers were sent through all thecountries
round, to every hyart that beat love--to every
rank and every age.
No one has yet mined the flower:, said
the wise man. No one has shown the place
from whence it springs in its betiuty. It is
not our. of the roses from the bier of Romeo
and JUliet,Lor front 'Wnlbury'; grave, though
these. flowers will ever bloom in legends and
songs: kis not one of the roses that bloom.
ed forth from Winke:ried's bleed-stained
lance—from the holy blood which Moved in
death from the breast of the hero fin: the
fatherland; though no death is sweeter,
rose is redder than the blood which then flows.
It' is, also, not that. wonderdlower, for the
cultivation of which-man gives , his,tresh life
away in years and flays—the magic _rose of
knowledge!'
' I know where it biomes I' said n happy

' Lovely is that rose,' but there is yet a
fairer one, said the wise man.
Yes, a much fairer one,' said One of the
women; ' I have seen it; a liblier rose blooms
not. But it was pale, like the petals' of 'the

1110 STOLEN CASKET OF JEWELS
Is the winter or'l B—, whilOtscentling the
Nile midi a Prenehman named - Garda, in pur
suit Of adventure, we had 0CC4141011 . to stop at
the town of Ossiut. Gardet was a Frenchman
by birth, and had been my companion for three
years through all my Asiatic wanderings; and
a, mutual „attachment having arisen, he now
considered himself as an inseparable.constit,
item of mine. Ile wits a man shrewd.by ea;
tare; of undaunted courage, but .so garrulous
that I never breathed to him my plans until
they were ready for fulfilment. Of myselfoll
the reader need know is, that I had been
travelling in Egypt and Asia ; spoke the lam
gunge fluently. and fingered myself that I
understood Oriental manners and character
pretty thoroughly. •
As we always made it a point to pay our re
spects ab head quarters. we at once meat to.
see the Governor. Aehmet Bey, a tine-looking
Oriental, a Turk by birth, although. as ho told
us, ‘ resident for twenty yearS of Egypt. We
found him at his palace, about half a mile from
the river, seated on a divamof benuiful needle
work, before which was. one of the-finest And
most gorgeous of Persian' tents. On his right
was' a long nargileh. Ile rose as we entered,
received us with cordinlity,fand bestowed 'on
us every attention that inherent politeness
could devise. _ _ • _ •
. After smoking with hint for some time, and
conversing on Egyptian topics, ho showed its
man& curiosities, and all' his accoutrements ;
'among them was a saddle, richly mounted with
silver, which was --presented- to him by the
Plolukof -Egypt. While eximining its work
manship, attentively, I noticed a, small pookt,'
on one side, which Seemed. to., be fillechvith

Withstanding his cordiality, remarked that he
had lost the leoy,,to it, or ho would lie pleased
to show me the contents, which ho also valued
as being 'tile pasha's gift.- Ho then'. blinded
the saddle to an attendant, and, milking a sign
to, my companion to follow with our dragoinAn',
ho linked - my Arai in - Ids, and, after glanoing
