It is barely ten years since the first diamond ever found in the Cape Colony was taken away from some little Dutch children who were playing with it, and now the annual value of the exports in these gems is to be counted by ten3 of thousands of pounds. Nor is there any fear that the diamondiferous soil is being worked out. On the contrary, the greater the depth reached by the elaborate machinery which is daily taking the place of the more simple contrivances originally used the more satisfactory a>v the results. 1? *he generality of readers the geography of South Africa is so vague and unknown that a more particular description of the localities whence tlie diamonds are brought caunofc fail to be a necessary prelude to the due comprehension of any information regarding them. Some 000 miles inland, as the crow would fiv, to the northeast of Capo Town, lies a small territory lately ac quired by the British empire by cession Irom the chief of the Griquas, and kno-\\n as Griqualaud West. A certain rataer important portion of it is still claimed in amicable fashion by the Orange Free St*t% and the exact boundary line is barely settled. Only 100 miles from north to south and 150 from east to west, yefc it attracts a population which is numerically great as compared to the meager returns from other parts of the colony. Fifteen thousand white people, 10,000 colored and 20,000 native laborers make up a respectable total of inhabitants, especially as they are nearly all centered in one spot. Diamonds were at first found 6iugly and scattered along the course of the Orange and Yaal rivers, and diggings were established in various promising spots. Attempts were also made to find whether the natives had ever thought it worth while to collect and preserve any of the shining stones, and in this way the famous " Star of South Africa " was purchased from a Caffre witch doctor, but no other equally valuable stones have since come to light in the same way. The digging at first was mere surface scratching, and it was only five years ago that the now famous Kimberley mine, originally known by the roughand-ready name of New liush, started into existence. Unfortunately, diamond IB luiai IA7 IUU BJ 1M11IUI X V VI UCUU" ty of a landscape, and Kiniberley resembles nothing so much as a giant ant-heap crumbled into ruius, -with the swarming inhabitants busy repairing damages. But no filling-up, smoothingover process is really at work; each day more earth is turned over, fresh claims, divided and sub-divided into minutest sections, are being worked, and over all the confused heap of excavations stretches a labyrinthine network of wire ropes, seventy feet above, by which to haul up the buckets of wash-dirt. Ttie first diamonds were found very close to the surface by the river banks, and even heavy rains would affect the quantity discovered. They used t-o be washed out of the gravelly soil by a cradle, such as is used by gold-diggers, and, considering the rude and imperfect nature of the process, the quantity foiu*l even then and the quality of the stones were suggestive of vast treasures still concealed. Yet the report of more than one geologist sent out expressly for the purpose was that South Africa was distinctly non-diamondiierous, and that the stones foimd by the river side were accidental, and the claims would be worked out at a depth of five or six feet, which was actually the case. In spite of all this, diggers swarmed along the valley of the Yaal, camps sprang up in all directions Rolitarv Roers who had not seen half a dozen people together in their lives, woke of a morning to find as many hundreds hard at work by their drift or . waiting to ask at what price they would sell their barren acres. Of course the vicissitudes of fortune were great, and men were ruined or made wealthy by turns, and by turns the fame of the South African diamond fields rose and fell. , It was not until the system of dry digging had been L.irlv established, five years ago, at X^-w Rush, rechristened Kiinberley mine, that diamond digging took its place one of the recognized industries of the world, and that a large, thriving town lias sprung up around the small surface which encloses unknown wealth. At fire.; the digging was hasty and superficial, a3 might be expected ; but when the ground came to be more equally parceled out the debris already thrown up and supposed to have been carefully searched yielded, by the new process of water washing brought to bear on it, diamonds to the value of ?1,000,000. Iu fact, the richness of the soil of this especial mine will behest understood by the statement that from ninety to ninety-five per cent, of all the diamonds exported from the Cape come from the Kimberley mine, and yet its surface only extends over some nine acres. For every foot it has been worked down the average yield has been in value ?100,000, and at a depth of eighty feet below the sorface diamondiferous ground has been struck. In spite of these stubborn things? figures and facts ? it will, however, always be a mystery to geologists why so great a profusion of diamonds should be hidden in ground bearing so few of the characteristics of the best known diamond mines elsewhere. It can only be accounted for by a theory of eruption, and this is supported by the constant intrusion of broken rock, limestone, shale and basalt into the true diamondiferous ground. Besides which, it is also a singular fact that different parts of the mine?and it should he recollected how close such parts must be in so close an area?produce totally different diamonds as to color and weight. These precious nine acres pay a royaltv of ?6 per annum for every thirty-one feet square, and there is besides a license on the diamonds found. The mine at Kimberley is surrounded, as are most of the mines, by a girdle of distinctly non-diamoniferous rock, and it is from ii X ft VI f il .1 ll tiiis sore 01 Dasin-iiKe iorm mar me Dutch took their word "pan" as the earliest name for the depressions holding j the deposits here an,d there. In contradistinction to this is the term "koppje," a hillock, and although diamonds have been found in small quantities in the "kojes," still it is into the "pans" or reservoirs that the true diamondiferous material has evidently been washed. It is curious, too, that these "pans" arc f 11 surrounded by the same sort of ring of porphyry, or green stone, and that other precious stones of less value, such as emeralds, rubies and sapphires, are also found, with large quantities of garnets. The water struck below the surface in some of the "pans" is salt, and the color of the diamond-bearing clay changes from yellow ochre to bluish gray as it gets deeper.-?London Times. % Soft Soap.?This may be made with the soap powder which you get at any grocery?directions come with it, and ft makes, with only the addition of water, a splendid thick, strong soft soap. I Iu a Roval Harem. * In aii article entitled "A State Ball in Constantinople," in tirribncr'sMagazine the following description of the toilets of the ladies of the harem is given : We were introduced to Madam Aali, a very intelligent looking, am able little lady, who salamcd us in Turkish stylo by putting her hand to her forehead and her heart, said a variety of ' pretty welcomes by means of the interpretress, and taking us by the hand introduced us successively to all the high and mighty female magnates of the land. We.were exceedingly disappointed in the toilets of these ladies ; with the exception of their undervesis of Broussa gauze, they were nearly all dressed in European fabrics of various kinds, full trousers, slippers, an over-dress more like the soutane of a Romish jiriest than any other garment?the train of which they slip under a belt when they walk, in the same manner that he does. Instead of the long braided tresses which i we had expected to see falling to their feet, their hair was cut short, and surmounted by an embroidered gauze handkerchief put on like a turban ; but to compensate for the lack of Oriental splendor in the rest of their dress, their jewels far outstripped our imagination. This being the only manner in which Turkish females can safely invest money, 1 " " ' -- 1-Al i_ il 4. and often an mat is ieii> 10 mt-m at mc i death or sudden disgrace of their husbands, they seize every opportunity to enrich their store, and the display is certainly dazzling. Madam Aali's turban was surmounted by a wreath of enormous pansies composed of diamonds, which complete ly encircled her head ; and in the midst of the pansies rose, mounted on an oscillating wire, a bird, the size of a humming bird, which was one mass of , diamonds with flashing ruby eyes. Earrings and necklace matched this diadem in magnificence. Most of the other lauies were literally blazing with jewels, with the exception of the wealthiest I and most nobly born among them, an Egyptian princess married to one of the pachas, who, whether from having lost a near relative, or from weariness and con- ! tempt of the gewgaws, had bedizened j her numerous attendant slaves with j jewels worth a king's ransom, and herself remained unadorned. One youflg married lady, about fifteen, was dressed in a French muslin of a brilliant corn color, and next under it she hud donned a crinoline, which articles were then worn very large, so that the effect of the steels, clearly defined beneath the scant folds of the transparent muslin, was ludicrous in the extreme ; but the others looked at her with admiration, as she paraded her French organdie and hoop j skirt before them?her girlish face surmounted with a regal coronet of magnificent gems. If the Moslems were harmonious in their dress before the time of i Mahmoud, as they must have been from the accounts of travelers, its character has disappeared from the effect of his European innovations, for the scarlet fez U-wVL-e oe rmf r\f nln/?A with tho straiffllt ! collared coat and modem' trousers of the men, as the short hair and French fabrics do on the women. An African Belle. In one tribe through whose territory he passed after leaving Tanganyika, Lieutenant Cameron found the women nuch more regarded than is usual among Africans, and consequently they j were far more fashionable than the rest : of their sex in that happy country. One j of the belles of the country is thus de-1 scribed in Cameron's journal: j "She is a merry sort of person, this Mrs. Paknwanywa, and really ladylike in her manners. It was great fun showing her a looking-glass. She had never , seen one before, and was half afraid. ' She is a very dressy body, double rows ! of cowries round her head, besides cop- ' per, iron aud ivory ornaments stuck to her hair, and just above and in front of each ear a tassel of red and white beads. A large necklace of shells was - * * * a i -_i. _ I round ner necK, anu rounu ner waist ? string of opal-colored singo-mazzi, and a rope made of strings of a red colored bead. Her front apron was of leopard skin, and the rear of colored grass cloth, and its fringe strung with beads and cowries sewed on it in a pattern ; bright j iron rings were round her ankles, and copper and ivory bracelets on her arms. Her hair was shaved a little back from j her forehead, and three lines, each about a quarter of an inch wide, were painted below. The one nearest to the hair was red, the next black and the next white;1 and, to crown all, she was freshly anointed with oil, and looked sleek and shiny. Her upper lip was perforated and a piece of stone inserted, until the lip protruded a couple of inches, giving a hideous expression to the face and making lier j articulation quite indistinct."

Is misfortune your lot ? You' will find a friendly welcome from hearts beating true to your own. The chosen partner of your toil has a smile of ap- ' probation when others have deserted, a ! hand of hope when all others refuse, and a heart to feel vour sorrows, as if they j were her own, ^Perhaps a smiling cherub, with prattling glee and joyous laugh, ! will drive sorrow from your careworn brow and enclose in it the wreaths j of domestic bliss. No matter how humble that home may be, how destitute its stores, or how poorly its inmates are clad, if true hearts dwell there it is yet a home. A cheerful, prudent wife, obedient and affectionate children, will give their possessors more real joy than bags of gold and worldly honors. The home of a temperate, industrious and honest man will be his greatest joy. A Dinner of Blacking and Mucilage. The Norfolk county (Mass.) Gazette vouches for the truth of the following : j "Two drummers, agents respectively for j rival blacking and mucilage, were in - ?* mi 1 1 i. Hyde jf&rK on iuursuu^ utsi, uiuiunuiig up trade. They encountered each other | in Mr. Miles' grocery store in the Town j Hall building, and while advocating the j merits of their wares one man hinted j that the other's article contained an acid injurious to leather. The insinuation 1 was indignantly repelled, and the agent offered a bet of $5 to $2 that it was not so, and to prove his sincerity he would eat the contents of one box and wash it down with n bottle of mucilage. The bet was tak^n. Calling for two pilot j biscuit, he sa.ndwiched the blacking between them, ai/d without flinching ate the whole, jftul n.^ a stimulant drank the contents of a bo ttle of mucilage. The spectators looked to startling developments, but the man coolly took up his $2, and with a bland s ^le took the grc cer's order for several g "^**3 of blacking, and walked hurriedly a\ leaving )iis astonished competitor to m <Mirate on tho loss of n customer and ?2. 44 Where's ran Cat?"?The skeleton of a cat walked into Ryan's store at Huliokus. Ryan, seeing her, bawled out: 44 Mickey, didn't I tell ye a month ago to fade that cat a pound of mate a day until ye had her fat?" 44 You did, and I'm just fading her a pound." 44 Has that cat ate a pound this morning?"' 44 Yes, sir." <4Shure, 1 think it's a lie you're telling. Bring me that scales. Now bring me that cat." The cat turned the scales at exactly one pound. 44There, didn't I tell ye she had eaten a pound of mate this morning?" 44All right, my boy ; there's yer pound of mate but where's the cat ?" Cro?* IIiisbniMlN nml Scolding Wives. " Domestic infelicity." which newspaper reporters nowadays credit with playing such an important part in life's drama, is often the result of lingering or chronic disease. What husban.l or wife can be cheerful, smiling and pleasant, when constantly suffering from the tortures of some dread disease? Perhaps the husband's liver becomes torpid, and he experiences bitter, disagreeable taste or nausea, has chilly sensations, alternating with great heat and dryness of the surface of his body, pain in his sides, shoulders or back, eyes and skin are tinged with yellow, feels dull, indisposed and dizzy. Through his snfferiug he becomes gloomy, despondent, and exceedingly irritable in temper. Instead of resorting to so reliable a remedy as a few small doses of Dr. Pierce's Purgative Pellets, and following up their action with the use of Golden Medical Discovery, to work the biliary poison out of the system "and purify the blood, if he nlay the part of a 44 penny wise and pound foolish " man lie will attempt to economize by saving the small cost of these medicines. Continuing to suffer, his nervous system becomes impaired, and he is fretful and peevish ?a fit subject to become embroiled in 44 domestic infelicity." Or the good wife may, from her too laborious duties or family cares, "have become subject to such chronic affections as are peculiarly incident to her sex, and being reduced in blood "and strength, suffering from backache, ] nervousness, headache, internal fever, and enduring pains too numerous to mention, she may become peevish and fretful?anvthing but k genial helpmate. In this deplorable condition of ill health, should she act wisely and employ Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,"it will in due time by its cordial, tonic and nervine proper- j ties, restore her health and transform her from the peevish, scolding, irritable-tempered invalid to a happy, cheerful wife. Laying aside levity and speaking seriously, husbands and wives, .you will find the Family Medicines above mentoned reliable and potent remedies. For full particulars of their properties and uses, see Pierce's memorandum book, which is given away by all druggists. The Best lterupernnt Of failing energy, that to which the faggedout man of business, the brain-fatigued author, the tired advocate or the weary artisan can resort with the greatest certainty that it will revive his overwrought powers, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a most genial tonic cordial, as well as a benign remedy for disorders of the stomach, liver, bowels and urinary organs, and a means of eradicating and preventing intermittent and remittent fevers. It not only enriches the blood and creates a new fund of energy in the system, but it has the effect of expelling impurities from the life current which beget disease. The injurious influence of abrupt transitions of temperature, of an unwholesome climate and injurious diet, are counteracted by it, and it promotes digestion, appetite and sound repose. Give it a trial and be convinced. Spitting of Blood. tt' ' Too^,. rn V V An a IS lL.l^UUnU , JUOOVA vv., 411 *V? Dear Sirs :?During the summer and winter of 1858 and 1859 I was afflicted with a severe pain in my side and chest. This was accompanied by a very hard couch, and I frequently raised large quantities ?of blood. I called upon a number of physicians, all of whom prescribed for me, but to no effect For six or eight months I continued to grow worse, when I was induced to try Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry.

The oleum cocu/*, or Cocoa nut Oil, presented itself most strongly, as possessing many properties peculiarly adapted for the purpose ; but its odor was objectionable, and its density (except when exposed to heat) seemed for a long tune to defy all efforts to render it available, for popular use, in cooler climates. By a scientific selection of other ingredients, those which will chemically combine with the oil have been discovered, and tliey together have produced a compound, which is unqualifiedly pronounced | to be the best that has yet appeared. In the form presented this oil is permanently deodorized and held in a combination which i peculiarly adapts it for the toilet; Burnett's | Cocoaine is unrivaled in delicacy and agreeai hleness-cooling in its nature?and possesses | such a penetrating affinity for the secretions of I the skin, that it is rapidly absorbed. Its greatest efficacy is best secured by a perfect cleansing, before its application, of the hair and scalp, under which circumstances this oil | allays irritation, removes all tendency to dandruff and invigorates Ihe action of the capillaries in the highest degree. I ts effect upon the glossiness and richness of ti ic hair is such j as cannot be surpassed ; and it is offered to the public in the firm belief that it only requires to j he known to supersede all other preparations. We are confident that no one who will make a trial of its efficacy will be willing to return to the use of any other preparation. Joseph Burnett & Co., Boston, manufacturers and proprietors.
