A Summary Account of the Origin and Development of the Recent Great Diamond Fraud.

The San Francisco Bulletin of a .recent date gives the following succinct history of the great California diamond swindle: "Arnold, Slack, and J. B. Cooper are practical miners of much experience, And fn the summter of 18.1 they were cm ployed by Harpending to go to the Burri BUrri mine, owned by him, in New Mexico, forty miles from the Arizona line. Harpending desiredto eflect a sale of the mine to English capitalists, and he made use cf the practical knowledge of Arnold, Slack and Cooper to enable him to make favorable representations concerning the mine prior to its sale. “In September, I**7l, Ilarpcnding left for London, and the three mining experts started on -their journey to San Francisco. On reaching Fort Defiance they stopped to prospect in the vicinity, having heard of the finding of valuable stones in that region, Their search was crowned with success. They foufid a large number of stohes, of whose value they were ignorant, the ruby business being at that time out of their line. They concluded, howey»r, to oring the stones tn San Francisco. On their arrival here they learned, quite to their surprise, that some of the stones were garnets, some sapphires, and probably some rubies, with some black atones resembling the black diamond. They thought of taking, steps to secure possession of the country in which the stones were found, but had not capital to carry out the plan unaided; and it was finally determined to sell an interest, meantime keeping the location a secret. Wflilh endeavoring to •’Bgntiate a Sale, findinc many difficulties in the way, and losing confidence in the value of the stones, they concluded to change theirplans. They determined, to sell out their discovery, and, to get a good price, they set about devising means to make it appear valuable. “The character or the discovery must be changed from a fuby id a diamond field. This idea was suggested by the remarks of experts and jewelers, -who told them that if they had diamonds instead of garnets they would have something Worth tnohey, ahd they could not see why diamonds, in New Mexico w ould not be as reasonable a story as diamonds in Africa.— . - _ _ “ Finally some one, it is Said, proposed to obtain some diamonds of little value from the Diamond Drill Company, and mix them with the stones. The proposition was accepted, and the small diamonds, worthless except for drills and other diamond-pointed instruments, yet genuine, gave, therefore, sufficient foundation for hope of more valuable stones still unsound. After mixing these with the stones found in New Mexico, they submitted the lot to Frontier, Bellmere & Co., which firm gave them a certificate that the lot contained genuine diamonds, “The plot had now progressed far enough to enable them to make definite proposals to capitalists. Arnold sought out G. D. Roberts, meeting him on the street, as if casually, ahd hinting to him that he had a “good thing.” After rousing Roberts’ curiosity, he explained to him the difficulty under which the discoverers labored, and offered to sell an interest; On no account, however, Arnold said, would they sell the whole; they only wanted, means to secure title and prosecute the work. Arnold proposed to organize. a company, and sell a limited quantity of stock. Roberts said he would write to Harpending, and have him join in the enterprise. He did so, and Harpetiding wrote back that he would be in New York in, a' few weeks, on his return, and wanted some of the stones sent there to be tested prior to his arrival. -

“Accordingly, Arnold and Slack, with a bag full of stones,, went to New Yorkin March last, and deposited the stones with Tiffany & Co., whose experts selected some of the diamonds for examination, and pronounced them genuine. When Harpending arrived from Europe, he brought with him Wm. M. Lent and an Englishman named Rubery, who came from Europe on a tour. Lent at once became interested in the statements made bytTiffany’s experts, and the stories of vast quantities of stones in their native beds, located on United Staten soil, and in a region the title of which could- be se< cured before outsiders could jump the claim. “Tiffany & Co. valued the bag of stones at $150,000, and on their assurance Mr. Lent placed such reliance thathe immediately determined to join in the enterprise. Harpending, also, was anxious to go in, but Arnold now began to play shy, and utterly refused to state the location of the field, though Slack pretended that he was willing to reveal the location, with Arnold’s consent, and that he, Slack, would Sell his interest—one third—for SIOO,OOO. .According to the statement of one informant, this sum was actually paid to Slack,and afterward divided between Arnold, Slack and Cooper, the last-named keeping in the background. Arnold and SlacK agreed ’fo go and point out the ground as sooilas the weather would permit, which would allow them two months in which to perfect their plans. ‘ ‘Knowing that the Fort Defiance region would yield no diamonds, and that if they took the agents of Lent & Co., they would have tc ‘salt’ the claim, they dgcidea to procure African diamonds for t hat purpose, and Arno 1 dvisitedLondon, with the result already known. After' his return, it was concluded that as they must salt any way, they might .as well salt a more accessible field, so they determined on the location in Colorado, and Arnold went again to Fort Defiance and purchased a large quantity of stones from the Indians. With these and the diamonds purchased in London, they prepared the ground visited by Janin.”

The Passion for Display.

The middle classes spend their income .in keeping: up false appearances. They, too, must wear dove-colored pantaloons and shiny boots. They must wear diamond studs and seal rings, and carry young ladies to the opera, in hired carriages, at the rate of three'hours’use for three days’ wages. They must take a turn now and then at billiards, Stand treat to the cocktails, bet upon their veracity when called in question, and, last of all, lest they should be deemed timid, must ‘demonstrate their nerve by “fighting the tiger,” until it claws the las't dime out of their pockets, ancfftlaws lasting scratches upon their souls.® The only safeguard against vice is work ■„ not work as the slave, who works to eat and eats to work, but work te reach a higher plane of effort, not only of the body but of the mind—work, whatever!*may be, whether for a day, a week,* month, or a lifetime, honestly and cheerfully, as one who ex pects to contemplate his results forever.J?r.

—Should any water stand upon the surface of the orchard, surface drains should be opened. —House plants usually suffer more from dust and a dry atmosphere than from any other cause, an (1 the only remedy is to shower often, and to occasionally sponge the foliage of the smooth-leaved plants, such as camellia, ivy, etc. —ls ahy pHihlng is io bb dlinb, It is better to select mild days during early winter than to delay until spring.

It will keep any length of time. Write it on the label with a steel pen, not too fine pointed. It dries in the course of a minute or two.!’ Horses’ Manes and Coats.—Middy Morgan, the horse-woman and stock reporter, says: I give the following recipe, which I have personally proved to be efficient in restoring a healthy growth of hair on the tails and manes of horses: Corrosive sublimate (hyd. bichloride), oxymuriate o£ mercury, each four grains in one ounce of distilled water. Wash the parts where the hair is thin with warm water and soap, then rub dry with a linen cloth, and immediately after rub. in some of the above liniment. If the hair has been rubbed off by the animal’s own endeavors to allay cutaneous irritation, then dress with the following ointment: One ounce of_finefloursulphur,one ounce of pulverized saltpeter, made into a soft ointment with fresh butter or fresh rendered hog’s lard; rub in at night and wash out in the morning with warm water and soap; repeat three or four times. If the hair is scant from natural debility of the capillary organs, then simply use cold water applied with a sponge; avoid all combing or brushing, and cleaHi the mane and.tail as the Arabs do, with a coarse flannel rubber.

—A National Convention of Swine Breeders waSheld at Indianapolis, Ind., when the following standard as to what constitutes the most perfect/ hog -was adopted: It must have a small, short head; heavy jowl; short, thick neck; ear small, thin, and tolerably erect, but not objectionable if '’slightly drooping forward; bottom straight from neck to flank,and.well down to knees in brisket; 1 of good length frbm head to tail; on the back broad; ribs rather barrel-shaped, and must be slightly curved in the back, from the shoulder to the setting on of the tail; the tail small; the ham long from the hock to letting off at the loin, and broad and full shoulders, not. , too large, but enough so to give symmetry to the animal; hair smooth and evenly set on;,skin soft and elastic to the touch ; legs short and small, and well set under and space between broad; good depth between bottom and top; good, quiet disposition; weight hot to exceed three to four hundred pounds gross at twelve to eighteen months. Such a hog should measure as many feet from the top of the head to the root of the tail as he does around the body, and’will measure as many Inches around Jhe leg, below the.kfiee, as -• be does in feet around the body,. and the depth of the body will be four-fifths of the height, t ■— * —The most successtul breeders of horses, cattle, sheep or swine, know from experience that although they may possess the best breeding animals, they will not be successful in producing superior stock if a continual growth of young animals is not kept lip. In order to begin in time at this indispensable preparation fqr success, the brood mares, cows, ewes and sows are most carefully , and suitably fed

while with young, and as soon as the young animals make their appearance they are-taken .the. greatest care of, the danis being suitably red While suckling, and when the young ones a? 6 weaned they are not supposed to want for food or drink a single hou'r. By this means a continuous or rapid growth is kept up, jfflOMUAfiLmb.. and heavy weight nt an early age. When brfceaihg animals are hot properly fed and comfortably sheltered jn ; Tyjhtet, the bad eflect of such treatment is not Confined to their own want of condition —it is qjiafed by their progeny, and can never be remedied. When young stock are not fed well and comfortably sheltered in winter, ihglr growth .becomes stunted, and no subseqiieht amotint of good treatment dan repair the damage. Young animals may suffer for want of proper provender in summer and dutuflin, as vVfelf. aft in wipter, and when this happens it stops continuous growth and, prevents ultimate success in the objects of thg breeders. .

How to Feed Sheep Successfully.

To bring a flock of sheep tn good condition, and to keep them therein, requires not only an abundance of good food, but something besides. -Regularity in the time of feeding 13 of the first importance. In handling flocks of Considerable. siii«t, we have found that, all things considered; two feedings a day'were the best. One need not be in haste to disturb the flock is the morning—say not before eight or nine o’clock, when they should have a good “square meal,” and again in the afternoon, In time to be well through before dark. Quiet is another essential to the comfort and thrift of the flock. We do not mean the absence of exercise, ■which is quite necessary, but freedom from worry in driving, and crowding while being housed or penned. When it is necessary for them to be moved, it should, if possible, be done without using a dog, and by the person or pfercons whom the sheep are accustomed to see. All movements wheh among or near m.CC? should be, as far as practicable, of such a character as not to startle or cause them to suddenly huddle together, as in. s o doing they jre almost ceriain to run over some oi their number that may be lying down. If we had to sum up the requisites to successful feeding in as few words as possible, these would be liberality, regularity and quiet.— 'Western, Rural. ■■

Flowers in Winter.

The taste for flowers in, winter is rapidly increasing with ihe advent of hot-air furnaces and base-burners, which keep the fire burning for. months. It is a common belief that flowers cannot be made to flourish in furnace-heated rooms. Experience bag pj-pved that this is an error, at least when the "uriiac” aif-chntnber is supplied with water for evaporating, and no others are fit to use. As private conservatories are generally conducted, they are a great expense and a vexation to the heads of families. They are generally placed at some little distance from the house, all their Bide? exposed to the weather, and consequently the consumption of coal is great, and then one or more functionaries are considered necessary for taking care of them. Managed in this way, theyzcanneyer become -_a-.-coin-mon luxury. A well-built room, twelve feet by twelve, on the south side of the dwelling-house, can be warmed in winter, by a single regiatbr from the fufnaoe, to 70° Fahr, in the daytime, aiid 40° or 50° at night, and this will suffice for roses, geraniums, heliotropes, ivies, petunias, mignonette, pansies, jasmine (grandiflora), callas, the daphne odora, fuchias, salvias, gloxinias, hyacinths, and many others. Caladiums and begonias require a night temperature from 55° to 65°. The room should have half the roof, and all the south end, covered with double sashes, find the tables for flowerpots should have a border three or four inches high to hold moss sot the pots to stand in. This moss holds considerable water, and its evaporation keeps the atmosphere sufficiently moist. The floor should be of hard pine, and oiled with coal-oil once a month. After each day’s sprinkling, the floor is easily wiped dry in a minute or so; besides, the tables may be edged with half a width of oiledcloth stair-covering? and this, held up while sprinkling, will drain all the water back into the moss. Such a conservatory can be easily taken care of by one young lady, and it will give more delight and healthy occupation than all the crotcheting and embroidered pen-wiper making in a whole volume of fashion magazines. When there is repotting to be done, a newspaper spread on the floor will preserve it from the soil. Where ladies manage conservatories, they keep them clean and inviting, and there is sure to be space enough in the centre for at least two friends to sit and converse, while their senses are charmed by the odor, color, and form around them. What can be more desirable, when the earth is cold and barren, than such a little Eden in the household? - - r « - For the insects that attack house plants there should be kept a cup bf carbolic soap-suds with a little swab in it, and the plant touched with this wherever there are signs of vermin. A 'little vigilance will keep the plants-quite free from them. Such-a conservatory is within the reach of most families in comfortable circumstances; and even the poor, who have a south window and a stove that keeps the fire, can, by the aid of a-moss-table, keep thirty or forty plants in good condition the year round.— Aypietou's Journal. ■ Z

True Comfort.

There are very few men who have a proper idea of true comfort. It is too often confounded with the mere delights of the flesh. Some mistakenly consider easiness' to be comfdrt. Nothing could be further from the fact. It is impossible to be truly comfortable without occupation, both for mind and body. We recollect hearing of a man whose highest idea of comfort was to go to sleep and dream of swallowing gin-cocktails that were a month long: This, however, is mere sensuality.. There is a man in Terre Haute who seems to have the proper idea of comfort. He lies on the grass in the rear of his house, under the shade of a fine elm tree, and entertains his wife by reading the newspaper aloud to her while she saws logs and chops them tip into fire wood to cook the dinner. There is no time wasted here. The mind is exercised and information is gained, while the wife is at the’same time kept thoroughly posted on current events. That man knows, how to enjoy himself, and is not selfish enough to keep all his enjoyment to himself either. —Eichanae.

—Two fellows committed a heavy robbery in New York, the other day. They entered a bank and while one of them held a paper before the cashier’s face, ostensibly to show him some stock reports, the other seized a tin box which, from its weight, should have contained at least $20,000, and made off. On opening the box, they found about 100 most excellent cartridges for a large bore shot gun.
