AT KIMBERLEY MINES. TV .mt One Sees in a Journey from tire Cap a Throu i the Transvaal— Whipp’n.*, a Ik fzlr. Mr. J. Cimiles D.ivis. a t heat ric.-il ] Dianati’cr. recently tleseribpil to a (hiicago /•■ r-Ocwn reporter a trip to the ' great diamond fields of Africa. He ] said: j "I took a small coasting steamer ■ ami went up to Port Natal, whence I went to Queenstown by rail. There I | joined a party of traders a«d prospect- | ors, and with live wagons, each drawn by sixteen head of oxen, we journeyed . at the rate of from twenty to twenty- ' Jive miles a day for thirty davs, until j we reached Kimberley. We lived well ] on the road. Two of us had horses i for use in little excursions, and we ] kept the party supplied with game. TVe traveled generally at night, as the days were hot and the cattle would | not feed at night. I should say we | had a small herd of cattle to take the place of tiny that might Crunk down on the trip. Our wagons were like ] the former “prairie schooners” of 1 America, except that they were larger. In one of them we lived, and in this our small luggage and arms were stored. Each wagon had a Dutch driver and a Kaffir forelooker. ‘ Reaching Kimberley I found a regular mining town, the houses beitig built of wood, canvas or corrugated iron. Ail the building material had to be transported across the country in wagon trains. It was nightfall when I had eaten my dinner and smoke ' the first cigar I had had for a month, ] Then I started out to see the big Kim- 1 berley mine, where they were working ' by electric light. This was nine years I ago ami in the heart of Africa, remem- 1 ber. A wire rope stopped the way at the end of the main street down which I 1 had walked. In front of me was a dark expanse, doited here and there with electric lamps, and in ami out of the shadows flitted the forms of naked negroes. It was very weird and a little uncanny. The dark place was the pit, ten or twelve acres in diameter and about. 800 feet deep, wit!) sloping sides leading into the great bowl, '['here was no sound except the rattle | of chains as tne cables brought up the ] heavy iron buckets from the places ' where the men were working to the hoisting houses on the edge of the pit. j “The mine was worked by own- I panics,. some formed as joint stock I concerns, others as co-operative com- I binations of miners. Ail the claims ] were carefully staked out and pre- ' served according to their surface di- ’ mensions. If a cave-in occurred from one claim to another, the offending claim had to make good the damages. “When the Kaffirs had loaded their ' buckets they placed on each a ticket | indicating what was the character of ] the earth it contained. That which | was worthless was carted away; the \ diamond-bearing soil was put into a hopper and worked through screens, I over which water ram the first screen taking away the large, worthless ] stenes, ami the others gratin illy Sep* arming lite pieces likely Io contain ' diamonds. The entire process was : superintended by white men. Some ' of them could neither read nor write; ; but every gang of blacks had a white ] map over them whose chief business ; it was to watch that no Kaffir stooped down to pick up anything. If he did, TuFwas given an emetic. The punishment for stealing a diamond, or a piece of the bine clay that usually contains the finest diamonds, is twenty years in prison, with work on the breakwaters at the Cape. It means ] death as surely as, and a little more I painfully than being shot. It isn’t ; often that the blacks receive this punishment. They are more afraid of a whipping. and they get it on their bare 1 backs wit®) a.piece of rhinoceros hide j that draws the blood at every lick. I saw one man whipped—an ebony | statue; the blood trickled from his I shoulders to his feet. The prison ] physician who was in charge of the j affair, stopped the punishment at thirty ] lashes. He said any more at that particular time might kill the Kaffir. ■ These negroes were a curious sight; they used to go about dressed in a scarlet jacket and a breech-clout. A particularly swell fellow might cover his erect locks with an old hat. I never saw one with a shirt on or with trousers. A red coat was raiment enough apparently. “I have told you how they got the diamond-bearing soil into the hoppers. As the gravel fell through the screens it went into boxes that were locked. Sunday was wasii-up days. The boxes were brought into the office, where directors of the company were seated about a table covered with zinc. An expert, called the sorter, took a threecornered blade ami spread the gravel out on the table before him. In the presence of the., directors he threw away the worthless stones. I though, he was casting aside the tmesl airt richest diamonds; but they were only crystals that had no value. But a lew diamonds were fouml in the firstboxes, .w here the larger screens were. In those that.had smaller meshes were .

found more. -T he result of the week s work was. perhaps, a qit irt of the j rough stones, many of them being I black diamonds of little value. “All of those that had been saved M ere then taken before anol her expert. I He earelnlly spread them nil out on a perfectly white sheet of paper and bei gm to sort them according to size ami 1 quality. -As last as the paper became ■ soiled he tore off a sheet. He put the ' Stones into little piles, which he afterward tied up and sealed, marking each according to its character and value. I All of this was done in the presence of 1 tne directors. IV hen the packages were sealed they were either sold °on the Held or sent to London, where there is the greatest diamond market in the world. “1 here are about the mines at Kimberley a class of men and women known as I. D. B.’s, w hich means illegitimate diamond buyers. They live off this traffic, chiefly through the medium of the Kaffirs. They are closely watched by detectives of every nationally, whose shrewdness makes it difficult for the I. 1). B.’s to prosecute their trade successfully.” An Indian Vaqnero. I Ths Indian vunneros, wbo lived I much of the time on tho more distant / cattle ranges, were a wild set of men. ' J remember one of the 11, named Marj tin. who was stationed hi Amador Valley ami became a leader of the hill . vaqueros, who were very different from j the vaqueros of the large valley near ; the Missions. He and his friends । killed ami ate three or four hundred \ young heifers belonging to the Mis- ] sion, but when Easier approached he ' felt that he must confess his sins, so I he went to Father Narciso and told all about il. Jhe father forgave him, but i ordered him to come in from the llills , to tiie Mission and attend school until . he could read. Ihe rules were very I strict; whoever failed twice in a lesson was always whipped. M^tin was utterly unable to learn his letters, and he was w hipped every day for a month; but he never complained. He was then dismissed, ami went back to the hills. I used to question Marlin about Lie allair, and he would tell me with perfect gravity of manner, which was very delightful, how many calves he had consumed ami how wisely the ’ good lather had punished him. He knew now, he used t<) say, how very hard it was to live in the town, and he would never steal again lest he might, have to go to school until he had learned his letters. — lite. Century. lie" reicu to Be ObtVghig. “Let me see your Encyclopedia NnxI vomica, if you please,” said a farmer 1 as he stepped into a prominent book j store, of Pittsburg. i “Yes, sir,” replied the clerk, al- I j though he thought the inquirer looked ; I like an unpromising customer. I Still lie was jiolite for the clerks had ! general instructions to treat all callers ; with consideration, and. besides, this i particular clerk had read somewhere : of literary men with agricultural hab- • its and of a granger-like appearance, and it was barely possible that the man now- asking to see the encyclopedia was one of that kind. It docs not always do to judge people by the clothes they w-ear, nor to form conclusions from' the havseed j which may endeavor to conceal itself । cunningly in their hair. 1 So reasoned the clerk a- he d ; sp],iv >d j all the tweutv-fonr volumes of the I Encyclopedia Nuxvomiea to the inves- । tigative rustic, and expatiate I iearn- , cdly on the dead loads of erudition ! which had been consumed in the pro- ■ duetion of the great work. | Tiie farmer looked .slowly and carei fully through the volumes, one by one, j and listened to what the voluble clerk I said, but made no reply or gave any i indication of a desire., to and tlm set to : his literary possessions. FmMly Em ; clerk asked: “'Vere you thinking of getting an I encyclopedia?” “Oh. no." replied the farmer, “but I | like to oblige people.”“Like to ob.ige people?” exclaimed , the astonished clerk. “Yes, 1 alters try to oblige people I when I can. but sometimes it’s mighty I inconvenient, in the busy season.” “But if you don’t intend to buy an I encyclopedia.” said the clerk in an ini' jured tone, “why are you wasting vour I time and mine by looking all t irou"h ! those books?” “Jist bekase I tillers try to oblige, sir. even at seme inconvenience to mvself.” “I don’t see how you are. obliging anybody.” added Ihe clerk, as hesadlv replaced tiie I>ooks in their box, and wondered if iie had belter call Umspuliee. ■Don t yon?” asked the granger. “V> ell, 111 tell you. You hev a sign 1 in the winder which says, 'Ask to see I our Encyclopedia Nuxvomiea,’ an’ as 1 i ailers try to oblige I come in an’ dm: i as the sign said, but there be some people as never appreciate il when you I do try to oblige ’em.” Ami the iarmer walked out. rcsolv- । ing never to try to oblige the city peoI pie again.

A City at the Bottom of the Sea. The city authorities of Rovigno. on the peninsula of Istria, in the Adriatic Sea, have discovered a little south of the peninsula the ruins of a large town at the bottom of the sea. It has been observed for some years that tisher- , men's nets were sometimes entangled i in what appeared to lie masses’ of ] masonry, of which fragments were I brought up from the sea bed, A year or two ago a diver declared that he : had seen walls and streets below the water. The city authorities recently decided to investigate. They sent down a diver who, at the depth of eighty-five ■ feet, found himself surrounded 011 the bottom of the sea by ruined walls. He says he knows they were the work of man. He is a builder by trade and he i recognized the layers of mortar. Continuing his explorations, he traced the line of walls and was able to distinguish how the streets were laid out. He did not see any doors or window openings, for they wgre hid- . lien by masses of seaweed and incrusjtations. He traced the masonry for a Mdstunce of 100 feet, where he 'had to Ju op, as his diving cord did not permit 7*Jim to go further. He had proved beyond a doubt that he had found the ruins of a once inhabited town, which, through some catastrophe, had been sunk to the bottom of the sea. Some people think that they identify this lost town with the island •mentioned by Pliny the Elder under the name of Cissa, near Istria. This island cannot oe found now. and it is thought the submerged town may have been a settlement on the island that so mysteriously disappeared.—A. I'. Hun. A Japanese Superstition. Any vessel causing a disaster at her launch is regarded by the Japanese as doomed to ill fortune for her whole ] career. At Osaka lately a vessel capsized while being launched, several persons being drowned, and her owners determined to destroy her at once before the unlucky craft produced a furiher catastrophe. The destruelion was carried out by night with much ceremony. I .A — — AND PROFESSIONAL CARDS O-M-Cl NMNGHAMrlttornen ut Lau\ South Bend. Ind- ; ODD FELLOWS BLK.

At the Universal Exposition of 1889, at Paris, France, the best sewing machines of the world, including those of America, were in competition. They were passed upon by a jury composed of the best foreign mechanical experts, two of whom were the leading sewing machine manufacturers of France. This jury, after exhaustive examination and tests, adjudged that the Wheeler & Wilson machines were the best of all. and awarded that company the highest prize offered—the GRAND PRlZE—giving other companies only gold, silver and bronze medals. The French government, as a further recognition of superiority, decorated Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the company, with the Cross of the Legion of Honor—the most prized honor of France. The No. 9, for family use, and the No, 12, for i manufacturing uses, are the best in the world t to-day.
