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 The last has superseded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. First, as to the

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

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

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.

j were formerly 'a feature of 'the 'town.- 5
! They were decidedly pioturesque, and *
' we shall miss them fro# our street '
scenes. *. ' ?
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 ^

When the whiteB first settled on the ^

the bnsiness and made what was to them p

done by the squaws, and as thev filed /

they were almost as picturesque as John f

3 A Disastrous Cloud Burst*
A cloud burst struck the town of j g
Camanche, California, one Sunday after- j
noon not long ago, causing the death of .,
,ten Chinese. 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
! ' While I was speculating upon the area
j of water-way it would require to pass this
! amount of water beneath the aqueduct .*!
| to be constructed across Camanche creek
j by the Mokelumne Ditch and Irrigation j li
I Company, we wfer^etartled by a horse- :
: man who rapidly rodeirito town'shouting a
i that the reservoir had broken. 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. As it struck Chinatown,
I built on the creek, the low, shabby tene- p
i ments gave way with a orash. A Chinaj
jaan, with his wife and child, who had f
i mounted the roof, were borne past, f
' vainly appealing for aid it was impossible
to give. In a few minutes another
; house yielded to the mad torrent < As it
' fell and parted, I had a momentary t
j glimpse of its half dozen inmates, in- j
I eluding a woman and her new-born babe,
i when the roof closed down, burying all ,
j beneath the flood ; only one man arose
to clamber upon the roof, where he reI
tained his position until out of sight. ?
He was finally rescued by seizing a bush
; and dragging himself out. *

A New Beverage.
Brazil has made a liberal appjopria- f
tion for the introduction to the people
of Europe of sterva-mate, an article 1
largely cultivated in Parana and used in
South* America to produce a popular c
beverage, but as yet unknown abroad.
Mr. O'Oonor, of the British legation, t
Bays it will be a capital substitute for
the far more expensive and too often <3

wholesome, and an article that can he <
sold at a prioe so moderate as to place it a

by the murder. She was way.'aid, and in the
,p- evening her body was discovered in a dense
swamp, a few rods from the road. Hor head
was cat off and missing, and the body was
otherwise mutilated, evidently for the purpose
