GREAT JEWELS OF THE WORLD, j fWamond* and Their Value?Tho Fourteen | Karaoux Diamonds and Their Hlatorir. It -would be hard, indeed impossible, ! to make anything like a trustworthy | estimate of the money value of the precious stones owned in the world. If we j could get at the figures they would be j enormous?far beyond the largest gueBS of most men. These stones are the accumulations of many centuries, aud they j have gone on steadily increasing in J value^though at different periods their comparative worth has greatly varied. Nowadays the diamond takes the lead :is the very chief of jewels, but it has not always held that position. Before the skill of the lapidary, which now brings out all its beauties, was trough j to perfection, the pearl and the ruby ! stood before it. Even now a faultless | j-ubv exceeding one carat in weight is J "Vorth considerably more than a diamond. Thus, ?1,500 has been given for a ruby of three carats, although a diamond of the 6ame weight would sell for no more than $500 in London. But it is very difficult to find a perfect ruby. To make it the gem which surpasses the diamond i iu value, no matter how great its brilliancy nor how free it may be from de- j t'ec-ts and flaws, it must have the precise j pigeon's blood red, which is so highly j * esteemed. The cutting of diamonds into regular | forms, which first began to be practised j in 1456. is now most extensively carried i on in Amsterdam. Of the 28,000 Hebrews living in that city, it is estimated \ that 10,000 are directly or indirectly de- J ?endent UDon the trade of diamond cut- i ling. Although the greatest skill is re- j qnired ia the cutters, they are poorly) paid. The three forms in which dia monds are cut are the table, the rofte, | and the brilliant. The last has superseded the first two except for inferior i stones. The brilliant is a double j pyramid or cone cut off at the top by a ; large plane or table, and at the bottom by a small one, called the collet. The weight of diamonds is calculated as follows : Four grains =~ one carat; 141J carats = one ounce troy. It will thus be seen that a diamond grain is lees than an ordinary troy grain ; five diamond j grains are equal to four troy grains. Taki?j;: advantage of the facts presented in an article on " Precious stones," in the British Quarterly Review, and supplementing them with others, we will give the history of some of the most famous of theso jewels.

Tho first of these, the " Bragauza," which was found in Brazil in 1741, is of about the size of a hen's egg, and, if it is a diamond, it is by far the largest in existence. But as the Portuguese government, to which it belongs, will not suffer it to be examined, many persons believe it only a white topaz. Its value 16 not given, but if it is indeed a real and norfAft /linmnrw] if, niicht. to be Worth $6,000,000, for the " Matau," not a quarter its 6ize is appraised bv experts at 31,350,000. For the " Orloff," a rose diamond, now set in the top of the Russian imperial sceptre, Catharine II. paid 150,000 roubles ($337,500) and a pension of 20,000 roubles, aud fjave the Jew of whom she bought it n patent of nobility hs well. The " Austrian or Florentine brilliant," also called the " Grand Dnke of Tuscany,", has a slightly yellowish j hue, and is valued at 8500,000. It is : said to have been bought as a colored ] crystal at a jeweler's shop In Florence. ! The "Pitt," or " Regent," was sold to j the Dnke of Orleans in 1717 for $675,uOO Thfi "Star of the South" is a! ? brilliant which was found by a negro in | the province of Minus Geraes, Brazil, in I 1853. Its value is not given, neither i have we any estimate of the value of the j famous "Koh-i-noor." The "Shah,"! presented to the Emperor of Russia by j Chosroes, 6on of Abbas Mirza, is a | faceted prism, and is engraved with a j Persian inscription. The " Pigott " was j pold by lottery, at the end of last century, for 8150,000, and afterward it was ! liought by the Pasha of Egypt for the j same price, it meantime having been i obtaiued by Rundell & Bridge, of Lon- i don, for 830,000 only. The " Nassack " was caDtured from the Peishwa of the I Malirattas by the Marquis of Hastings, i and -was afterward purchased by the j Marquis of Westminster. The twelfth I in the list is a very large and beautiful j iliamond, which was found in Brazil a ; few years ago. The thirteenth, an Afri-: ran stone, is now offered for sale at ?50,-, ()00. The renowned '' Sancy " diamond, i supposed to have been worn by Charles | the Bold of Burgundy when he was] killed at the battle of Nancy, though the j story is doubted, was, after passing j through several hands, sold in 1865 to i Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy, of Bombay, j for 8100,000. It thus, after many vicissi- j tndes, returned to India, its original j home. James II. sold the "Saucy " to Loaie XIV. for 8125,000, so the Bombay j purchaser seems to have made a good [ bargain. Of tliese famous diamonds, the " Pitt" j aud the "Koh-i-noor" have the most; interesting histories. The '' Pitt" is the ; most perfect brilliant in existence, and ! is withont a rival in shape and water, j It weighed 410-carats in the rough, and j if. iaid to have been found in 1702 in the i mines of Parteal, India, by a slave, who I concealed it in a gash he cut for the pur- | pose in the calf of his leg. Running j away from his master, he offered it to a , sailor on condition that he assist him to : e^ape. The sailor lured the slave' aboard the ship, and after throwing him j into the sea, sold the stone to Jamchund : for $5,000. Thomas Pitt, governor of | Fort St. George, bought it of this Hiu- j doo merchant for 862,500, and had it cut j int<5 a fine brilliant. The cutting occu-1 pied two years, and cost 825,000; but: the fragments cut off were -worth fifteen j or twenty thousand dollars, so Pitt was , uot out heavily for the improvement. | The poor man found the possession of j his treasure far from enviable; for so fearful was he of robbery that he never made known beforehand the day of his coming to +own, and never slept consecutively tvo nights in the same house. The fame of the diamond spread over Europe, and many persons tried to get a b'ight of it, out in vain. All sorts of stories were told about the means by which Pitt obtained his treasure, so that lie was at last forced to defend himself in a pamphlet. But Pope wrote: Asleep and naked as an Indian lay. An honest factor stole a gem away; ' He pledged it to the knight; the knight had wit. Ro kept the diamond, and the rogue was bit As we have said Pitt sold the stone to the Duke of Orleans, Regent of France, in 1717, for $675,000. It was stolen during the Beige of Terror, but was restored in a mysterious manner. Napoleon J. found it cf inestimable value to him, for after the 18th Brnmaire, by pledging it to tbe Dutch, he procured the funds that were so indispensable for the consolidation of his power. It was afterward redeemed and ornamented the pommel of the emperor's sword. The | "Pitt" was shown at the Paris exhibi-1 tion of 1855. The history of the Koh-i-noor is much i better known. Its antiquity iB very great; and, legendary accounts aside, we have an authentic record of the fact of its capture by an Indian prince in 1526. On the annexation of the Punjaub in 1850 by the British government, t was stipulated that the " Koh-i-noor " should be presented to the queen. In 1851 it was displayed at the first World's F.iir nt London. The stone was then recut at a cost of $40,000. A curious story is told of the danger it was in at this' period. The London jeweler in- j t rnsted with the recutting of the Koh-i- j noor was displaying his finished work to si wealthy patron, who accidentally let the slippery and weighty gem slip through his fingers aud fall on the .floor. The jeweler was on the point of fainting with alarm, and on recovering himself reduced the other to the same state, by informing him that had the stone struck the floor at a particular angle it would infallibly have split in two and been irreparably ruined.?N*w York ?S*un. The Mengoon Bell. Burmah 13 a country in which the his- J torical value or importance of bells is only [ surpassed by their universal use and ap- : " * TAl* I parentiy religious connections wiw rites and ceremonies of Buddhism. Al-1 most every temple, or rather pagoda, is., provided with a bell, which is reveren- ; tially stmck by each of the several volar-: es at the particular shrine, previous to ! the offering up of prayers, with a view to j its being noised abroad generally in the ! material and spiritual world'that the j suppliant is willing to share the after rewards to be derived, as the merit of his I prayer or offerings, with all -ihe rest of | mankind. j The Mengoon bell is situated on the right bunk of the Irrawaddy, almost opposite the present royal city of Mandalay. Its weight is a hundred and ninety-five thousand pounds, calculated according to the quantity of metal used in the cast ing, and its extreme height and breadth (that is to say, the height and breadth of the bell proper) are respectively twenty- j one feet and eighteen feet; so that, as regards size and weight, it ranks amongst i the most remarkable bells in the world, i T1 ' ~-1 ?? moaairA rnnnrl ' II IB BUSpCJUUCU UJJ wnvv logs of teak, placed horizontally and Ion-1 gitudinally, the one over the other, their i ends resting on pillars of vast size, com- ( posed alternately of masonry and large | upright teak posts. Tfcese pillars are becoming dilapidate | ed. The three teak logs, too, from which < the bell is suspended, have, nautically | speaking, it will be seen, " taken a list," | not to port, but amidships, and sensibly ; acknowledge the stupendous burden > under, or rather above, which they) labor. This bell was cast about seventy-five \ years ;igo, in the time and under the j superintendence of King Bo-Do-Piyah, j the great-grandfather of the present rul- j ing sovereign of Burmali. Bo-Do-Piyah's , reign is famous in the history ot Bur- j mah as having extended over a period of | thirty-six years; and his memory is still revered as the sovereign during whose Ptirmona omniro far and wide flourished under the genial effects of plentiful and abundant harvests, and by the virtue of whose almost supernatural : power its limits were extended to dis1 tances never before attained. | Near the bell is a pagoda of prodigious i size, also erected by the same monarch, | at about the same tune that he interested i himself in the casting of the famous bell. The pagoda is a Bquare brick building of solid masonry, and measures in length on each side one hundred and fifty yards. It rises in this square form, and with almost imperceptibly diminished proportions, to a height of one hundred and fifty feet, when the work seems suddenly to have arrested. It has not escaped tli3 effects of earthquakes, which, from time'to time, have been so ruinous to: masonary buildings ill Upper Bnrmah. Several large cavernous fissures appear in various parts in its inside, from top to bottom, and may be said to hold out to sacrilegious explorers a rather tempting I road to wealth;" that is to say, if credence ! is to be placed in the alleged tact that within the solid masonry of the building lie entombed one hundred images ofsplid gold, of life size, each image representing one of the members of King Bo-Do-Piyah's family. The story relates that the members of the royal family j (most probably sons and daughters only) j amounted to ninety-nine, and that the king was obliged to adopt one child into his household to make up the round' number of one hundred. A Son's Horrible Crime, One of the most horrible and unnatural crimes on record has just been tried at the Assizes of the Eure, in France. The prisoner, a young man of twentyfonr, was accused of murdering1 hie'I j mother in cold blood, and then cutting : up the body into pieces to get rid of it. j I The victim was a widow named .Louchard. She lived with her eldest son, Modeste Emmanuel, in the hamlet of Marais, where she kept a small farm. She had two other children, another son aud daughter, who were out at Bervice some distance off, and who rarely visited her. On the 16th of March last she suddenly disappeared. The neighbors paid no particular attention at first to her absence, especially as her son said she had left home in her Sunday clothes, and had j probably gone to see one of her sisters at Bouen. Some days passed away, and still no news was .heard of the widow. The neighbors now began to feel uneasy, and advised the son to -write to his relations about his mother. Modeste, who had all along shown the utmost indiffer-1 ence in the matter, at length wrote to his uncle at Rouen, professing the deepest anxiety at the disappearance of Ins mother. Bu? the uncle had not seen her, and could not imagine what had become of her. Pressed by the neighbors, I Modeste resolved at last to inform the authorities of her disappearance, but before they had time to open an inquiry an unexpeoted discovery led to the unraveling of the awful mystery. A man named Gosset, in passing by an old marl pit, remarked that somebody bad made the hole larger. His curiosity being arousrd, he approached the spot, and discovered spots of- blood and footmarks on the brink of the pit Looking further,-he found the traok of a wheelbarrow extending to within a few yards of the house inhabited by. the widow Louchard. He informed the police of. his discovery, and it was deoided to descend into the pit, which is about 150 feet deep. . ' The first thing the searchers came i across was a human arm, then another ! arm, then two legs, and finally the remainder of the body of a woman. How- j ever, in spite of these fearful mutilations, j the identity of the victim was soon es- j tablished?the remains were those of j the missing widow. The trial followed, and the prisoner, j Modeste Emmanuel, was condemned to , death. He will be guillotined barefoot j and in the costume assigned to murderers j of parents?viz., a long shirt and a black veil aronnd his head. - , . Jesse Pomeroy, the Child Murderer.:] Probably there is more oHriosity con- j cerniug the prison career of Pomeroy I than any other convict in the Massachu- I setts State Prison, says the Boston Olobe. j This singular phenomenon of a fiend and ! murderer is even more singular sinoe his incarceration for life in a lonely cell than | he was in the palmy days of his atrocities. He has, in fact, become quite an exemplary young mau, and in evidently determined upon acquiring a thoroughly classical education. He is away by himself in a cell in that part of the prison I Known as me upper arcc, out 01 me J sight of everything and everybody, and j the only sounds which greet his ears are . the whistles of the passing locomotives j and rumbling of the trains. Three | times a day only is this solitude broken by the appearance of a keeper with his I meals, and then not a word passes bej tween them. It should be added in qualification, however, that the chaplain visits him occasionally, and also that his mother and brother are allowed inter-1 views with him every three months. This is in accordance with the general rules of the prison, all of which are applicable to Pomerov, with the terrible exception that his confinement is to be solitary during his natural life. ;During the regular working hours he is employi ed in making shoebrushes. A New Kind of Corn. I Notwithstanding the immense production of Indian corn in the United States, there is a fair prospect of its being largely increased, even though the acreage planted with this cerinl is not enlarged. A. new variety of maize, the result of careful hybridization, has been brought into the market, whioh, if all that is said is true, will materially increase the product of this grain per acre. The stalks average from eight to ten feet ! in height, produoing each from four to ten well-fillod ears, averaging from eight | to ten inches in length. It is called the improved prolific, is of the white varieties, and is susceptible of being made into a flour resembling in taste and appearance that made from the best wheat. It ripens earlier than the ordinary variety, and from the extraordinary number of ears produced on each stalk, the vield per acre is put at one hundred bushels, where the cultivation is what it should be. 1 1 1 ; Words of Wisdom.

A few years ago, before the Virginia J land Truckee raiiroad was built, our * I streets swarmed in winter with Chinese ? I wood peddlers. Tliey were then inde- ? j pendent to the verge of impudence. 1 ' Wood, by the cord, often sold as high 0 ' as $30 or $40 and many persons were v ! compelled to buy their fuel in small lots. " ' Thus were the Philistines given as a : prey and a spoil to the Mongolian. Then, f when you asked the price of a donkeyload of wood, however fair the weather might be, it was always : 3' One dolla' w hap !" but the moment the " zephyr " s began to howl and storm clouds arose, ^ John cooked an eye to the windward and & firmly answered : "Two dolla'!" c As the Chinese gathered their wood j in the summer on the hills near the city, c and as they carried about two arms- _ ful on each donkey, they had a rich har- ? vest every winter in the retailing of ^ wood, and all engaged in the business ^ ***?/??* mnnorr nnifii fOTVirl 1V TllPtl f.VlAV ninuo invuuj v.jtuw n oollected their wood within a mile or t two of town; now they must soout out ? for it a distance of from twelve to fifteen ^ miles. t When the whiteB first settled on the ^ Comstock the Piute Indians were the g retailers of wo&d.

A correspondent of the !* Stockton Independent says : Four fun- j nel-shaped clouds, dark as night, appar- D entljynbout 600 yards apart, with their ! apex trailing the ground, were observed j t passing in a northeasterly direction, and ! I it was apparent that there was a very|e ! heavy preoipitation of rain. Soon the \ | slopes of the hills were covered with tor- j, rents of-water, which carried with it brush I I fences, and even rocks, to the gulches I below. In a few minutes Camanche ^ ! creek, already carrying its maximum of I water, was vastly Increased in volume, j 1; so as to overspread the flats on either [ i side, and facces, hencoops and the litter : 8 ! about the houses in Chinatown began to j [move. |t !

Almost i at the same time a bank of murky water , I several feet in hight, bearing brush, | fences, debris of all kinds,, cattle, horses I and pigs, was hurled forward with fearful ^ ! momentum.
