THE EXPERIENCE OF JENKINS. ,
which I am pofiessed of profound ignorance.
Among these may be numbered the fine
arts. With regard to the course of arts,
such as house painting, I have learned a
few lessons from experience. I consider ex-
perience a thorough teacher; but his chor-
ges for tuition are perhaps rather high.
_ Maria Ann said we must ‘have the house
repainted, and ' as what Maria Ann says
must be generally is, I at once went and
made a bargain with a house painter. He
said he would send his painters ’rouud.
The next morning I got my breakfast and
started out to cam my bread by the pers-
piration of my classic brow. I opened the
door and put my foot into a. tin pail full of
paint. Then I took it out and set it on the
hall door mat. Maria Ann assisted me from
there, and I took a flying leap over the
painter to the sidewalk. The painter paint-
ed the fence and the trout steps that fore-
noon. All who came to see us either paint.
ed their hands on the gate and left prints
thereof on the chairs, or else painted their
soles on the steps, and made tracks all over
the parlor carpet. The cat laid down on
the steps to sleep in the sun, and the paint
dried so fast that when she got up one side
of her was bald-headed. , .

The South African Diamonds.
EXPERIENCES OF A CALIFORNIA MINER.
One who mined in California in the early
days writes from the scene of the diamond
discoveries to The Alta California under
date of August 4, as follows :—- '
We lefi Coiesburg on the first of July, and
arrived at the headquarters of the diamond
fields on the 5th (200 miles). We found
plenty of grass and bush for the animals,
but water was scarce, and at several forms
we had to pay one shilling for water for
ourselves and stock; this water had been
collected in a kind of hole formed by dam.
ming up a ravine or depression in the plain;
the dams are filled during the rainy season,
and last through the dry season. The road
is excellent all the way from Coiesburg to
the diamond fields. Arrived at the diamond
fields, a Californian scene of early days pre«
sented itself. The river was lined with rock-
ers, tents, and miners of all kinds, colors,
sex and ,size, for a mile on both sides. At
least eight hundred miners were at work,
Whole families, men women, and children,
having left their homes either in ‘the Trans-
val Republic, Orange Free State, or Cape
Colony. The men were picking, shoveling
and washing. the dirt, while the women and
children ‘were sitting around tables and
sorting the pebbles that he'd: been ,washed,
for diamonds. Before crossing Jilin 'Yoal
river we applied: to iMr. Kallenbur ," the
missionary, for permission to dig .on the
Pruel farm, but he. refused, as we were
strangers to , him. He only allows those
whom he knows to mine on the estate, and
he makes them give him one-fourth of the
proceeds of their finds. There were about
200 people on the estate when we arrived,
and they had found, on an average, about 25
diamonds a day from one-quarter-tofive car-
rats each; no large diamonds; have been
found on this estate up to tlié'iime of our
arrival, but several have been ;fbun_d since-4
one of 10'cuiats,‘one of 17’carais, and one of

In a Cellar at Strasbourg. '
A French paper gives the followingac-
itnnts of Strasbourg during the siege :—“ I
many years, and my affairs had never been
broke out. On the approach of the enemy
I sent away my wife and family, but could
when the town was taken they shouldbe
given up to pillage. The first eight days
all went well, the quarter I inhabited seein-
ed to be spared; but on the ninth day a
shell exploded in front of my house and
broke all the windows on the greuiid floor.
I thought it prudent from that time to take
refuge in the cellar. I had some provisions
there, so that I seldom went out of it. I
spent my days and evenings in reading, lit-
tle thinking what was about to befall me.
On Saturday, the 10th, about mid-day, while
I was taking It meal, I heard a tremendous
noise overhead. I ran to the stairs to as-
certain the smount of damage doubtless
caused by a shell falling into my house. I
I drew back terrified. The entrance of the
cellar was stopped up by portions of the
wall. The house had fallen in, and I was
buried alive. What passed through . my
mind in the first hour of my captivity I can-
not adequately describe. I had fits of dumb
ague, to which general exhaustion succeed-
.cd. By degrees I came to myself, but I must
Confess I Completely‘lgst-my band; I col—
lecied my ideas, and thought I remembered
having during the day brought down a pe-
irolium lamp. I felt my way to the piece of
furniture on which I believed I had placed
it, and by good fortune there it was. I lighted
it instantly. It was then that I realized my
true situation; all around me there were
ruins; the staircase no longer existed; I
could no longer deceive myself, the house
had fallen in, and this cellar was to be my
tomb. To clear the rubbish on that side
was my only hope, and I began it with the
fury of despair. Every brick I took away
made others fall; the walls crumbled con-
tinually, and I was from one moment to an-
other threatened with destruction by the
ruins. Then my lamp went out for want

It was Jeannie Cope, a brown-eyed, dim-

April sunshine, a fresh complexion, and the
trimmest of all imaginable figures. And
Mr. Petersen’s wrath melted away like a
morning vapor before-her pretty insolence
of demeanor, as she stood in the doorway
balancing a fairy parasol on her finger, and
looking with saucy artlessuess round his
bachelor sanctum, while Mrs. Cope’s mat-
ronly countenance appeared in the back-'
ground; . ' '
Petro Peterson kicked a stray slipper un-
der the table, and threw his dressing-gown
over a huge meerschaum stand, striving to
appear as disembarasscd as possible.

said, turning red, and wishing lie-had “ ti-

Tun Mrsrnmous Pnoroonarn.-——Law-
rence, Mass, has been treated to a first-class
sensation lately. It seems that a curious
discovery was made quite lately on the
glass of an attic window in a two-story
house in Lawrence, of the face of a female,
with flowing hair, and partly covering the
panes of glass, the face being entirely on
one, and the hair flowing into the other
pane. The appearance is that of a faded
photograph, though everything is perfectly
visible. The question is, how come that
face on that window? Nobodv knows; no-
body can give a more rational answer than
that it' may have been photographed by
lightning, unknown to the lady who’ was
sitting in front of the window during a
thunder storm. When first discovered, the
face was thought to resemble an elderly la-
dy who had just been buried from the house;
and it was immediately worked up into a
first-class ghost story, and regarded “as a
wonderful spirit manifestation. But subse-
quent examinations have failed to discover
any resemblance to the departed elderly is-
dy, whose ghost it was supposed to be; and
rather inclined people to believe it to be the
face ”ind head'of a young woman. Thus
the mystery remains unsolved. The face
and head of a female have certainly made
their appearance on common window glass,
and nobody can tell Whence they came nor
how the picture was made.

A few days ailer arrival I invented a

the shaking; the bottom sieve is longer
than the top one, and inclined 25 degrees in
the opposite direction; the dirt and gravel
that passes through the top sieve falls on
the second one, and the diripasses through.
and the gravel to Wash passes out at the
end, and is carted to the river for washing.
I could put through 60 cart-loads a day
with this medium, and concentrate it to 20
cart-loads of gravel; but two men can orlly
sort out four cart-loads of gravel in ten
hours after it has been washed, and we 'do
not put more than.12 cart loads through in
a day in consequence of this. We are new
teaching some of our negros to sort, and we
will put more ground through presently.
On the first day of our washing we ob
tained a 1% carat diamond, slightly off col-
ored, but good shaped and nearly round,
valued at £8. We worked this claim out
and got nothing more. We tried out seve-
ral other claims on that side' of the river
with no success, although diamonds were
found all around us. We worked three
weeks on that side of the river without fur-
ther success, and then, having obtained per-
mission from Mr. K., the missionary, to
mine on the Pruel farm we moved over
here, ‘and on the first day’s washing we
found two beauties of % and $5 carats. All
that I need now is s. sorting machine, that
will sort as fast as I can put the “cascaihao”
through the washer. I shall try my hand
at inventing one. .
