Cincinnati as a Diamond Minc—A Yarn that Beats the August Sea Serpent Story. From the Cincinnat! Enquirer. On the 3d day of August Charles Russell, a yellow fellow, worked at the bouldercrushing machine, on McFarland street, between Elm and Plum. Tt was his duty that day, for he had taken the place ofa man who was sick, to remove the crushed boulders, so as not to inter- fere with the work of the machine, and shovel The work was new to him, but he gave it his undivided attention, Toward four o'clock in the after noon he was noticed, or, rather afterward, when thetr attention was called to it, some of his iellow workmen remembered his picking up ‘@ piece of one of the crushed boulders and put- ting it quietly away in his pantaloons pocket, HE SAYS. “I'll keep that to remember the job by,” he naively observed to Pat O'Brien, one of the men who stood near him, On the following day Russell did not come to work, and another man Was soon found to take his’ place. In # few weeks he was forgotten, and it is doubtful It any of his tellow-workmen’ or the boss even could have recailed the man or his name. HE FINDS OUT WHAT IT'S WORTH. On the day following, which was the 4th, a man, evidenly @ laborer, but who was neatly dressed, presented himself at a well-known Jew- elry store on 4th street, and, asking for the proprietor, said: “I have a pecutlar stone which would like to know the value of as well as whatit is.” “Let me see 1t.” Unrolling a red bandanna handkerehlef which was tied In sev- eral knots, and taking out a buckskin bag, the man laid’ a good-sized stone on the counter, which sparkled and glistened and shed its rays in all direetions. THE JEWELER SAYS. “You are a fortunate man,” said the Jeweler, “that stone is worth $125,000 to $150,000. It Weighs 82% carats, What are you going todo with it?” “I shall sell it,” replied the man. ‘The stone was handed back, and an Enquirer man who chanced to be inthe store and Know ing the jeweler well, ventured to remark as the went out, “Where could that fellow hav luable stone?” uld he have ought to have called the patrol. no uifair of mine. He paid me $5 for my trouble, and I don’t Know as it is my business to play detective on my eustom- ers.” HOW THE ENQUIRER CAUGHT ON. The Enquirer man asked, however, which direction the man took as he went out of the door,and was soon in close pursuit, ‘The man walked leisurely ulong Fourth street, and turning down Sycamore street, pushed on to Frontstreet, where he entered & cheap board ing house. He passed in through the bar-room Aud Went on upstairs, presumably. to bis root ‘The reporter entered, and, taking a cigar, got the landlady into conversation, and leatued the name of the boarder, aud that he had paid his board for a week in advanee, and his week $ould not be up for three days. ‘He was safe at jeast! THE MAN TALKS TO THE REPORTER. The next day the reporter came to the con- clusion that he wanted to hire some man to work on a railroad in Arkansas, and resolved that it would be a good scheme to hire Russells | So he repaired to the voarding-house ou Front street. ‘The man he wanted was seated outside on a low stool, smoking an old ciay pipe. It was not @ difficult matter to yet up a conversation with the man, but when the question of going to work in Arkansas was broached the man promptly said: “No; I'm going to New York in | & couple of days and cannot go.” By this time the two had got pretty well acquainted, and the reporter was convinced that th ho thiel, but honest. He therefore jecided to t once, and boidly, make the break right square at Russell. Looking him straight in the eye he said: “Rus: Sell, you have a Valuable diamond. 1 was in the store the other day when you came in and had it valued, and I followed you. I will be | square with you if you will with ime. I am | airaid you didn't come by it honestly, and can | vasily have you pulied in. Lonly want to know about it as a newspaper man. ME TELLS HIS STORY. Russell laughed and said: “Well, I didn’t steal it, Lean tell you, although I know it looks queer for the likes of me to be having so valu- able astone. The fact is, the more I think of it mmyseif the queerer I think itis. Come up to | any room aud Til tell you ail about it.” | He led the way up a couple of flights of rick- ety back-stairsand opened a door of a small room, containing a piain bed, oue chair and a table, seated himseif ou the ‘edge of the bed and gave the reporter the chair. “Where did 1 | get the stone, you want to know?

WHAT HE WILL Do WITH IT. “I picked itup and found the diamond tast- | ened into the middle of the boulder. Istuck it | in my pocket, and, bringing it home, picked it | out by the aid of a hammer and awl,’ and took itto the jeweler as you saw me. “Bult, Charley, that will make you rich.” “I kulow it, and I mean to dispose of it, buy me a lite piace and settie down for the rest. of my days.” THE MYSTEKY 18 SOLVED. In the fall of 1506 the celebrated Aaron Burr ex-Vice President of the United States, having killed Alexander Hamilton ima duel, paid a | Visit to the Biennerhassett island, contuiniug 170 acres and located at the mouth of the Littie Kanawha. The head of the house was absent | at the ume, but Mr. Burr was royally enter- | tained by Mrs. Blennerhassett, a highly accoun- plished lady, who afterward wrote a glowing | wccount of tlie distinguished visit.

' — A Shot that Saved the Greely Surviv- ors from Starvation. A LONG CHASE AFTER BRUIN—TWO DESPERATE MARESMEN WHO RAN TEN MILES—KILLED AT LAST. Correspondence of the Philadelphia Times from New ‘York, August 7th. Sergeant Francis Long, of Brooklyn, ® suf vivor of the Greely Arctic expedition, tells the following bear story, which has hitherto been scarcely more than mentioned in the accounts of Starvation Camp. He says: “Bacon, shrimps and sealskin stew, all in small quantities, had been our fare for over two weeks and there was not a full round of ra- tions left. More than half the men in camp were incapable of work, but that was little mat- ter, for there was no more to do than three could handle. The steady cold made us all drowsy and there was the worst danger in sleep. If aman was allowed to have his sleep out he would certainly never wake, so we bad to make a rule that no one should sleep more than two hours at a time. It began to look, with only one day between us and starvation, as if it might be better {or us all to go to sleep together and die unconscious of the terrible cold and the pangs of hunger. We had plenty of hunting, hing and cooking utensils, ammunition an all that, but what good AS ho game, no fish. During all of our camp we cauzht only two fish. I was the hunter of the party and had tramped the region over and over and rarely had the luck to get a shot ut anything. AN ARCTIC BEAR. “The day before we came to our last round of rations I had discovered the tracks of a bear. Thad followed thera about until I was ex- bausted trying to meet the beast, but had ut- teriy failed. On this day a light snow fell in the morning just enough to obscure the trail, butstiil I hunted.

He's coming.” EXCITEMENT IN CAMP. “How can I tell the terrible excitement that prevailed? The men were in perfect frenzy Cruel suffering had made them worse than un- Teasonable. Some of them could think of noth- ing but cursing poor Brainerd for not killing the bear, and were with diflicuity restrained from talling upon him to wreak veizeance. He had not taken his gun with him; nobody ever did who went shrimping, and they cursed and Taved at that and burst into tears at the loss of their last chance for life.

'W. Scott Dalgleish in the Engineer, “As a grenadier guardsman 1s toa new born infant, so is the Forth bridge to the largest rail- way bridge yet built in this country.” That is the graphic comparison by which Mr. Benjamin Baker, C, E,, illustrated the extraordinary char- acter of the structure now in progress at Queensferry, ot which Sir John Fowler and he ‘are the engineers, But he did not confine the com) to bridges in this country only; for in the F (read to the British association) from which that description is taken, Mr. Baker added, “Bridges a few feet larger in span than the Britannia have been built else- Where, but they are baby bridges after all.” There is thus a deliberate claim made on be- half of the Forth bridge, by one of its designers, that it ts the most wonderful bridge in the world; that the greatest of existing bridges are but child’s play in comparison with it. What is it that gives the Forth bridge this re-eminence? It 4s certainly not its length. in that respect it is far excelled ny the Vie- toria bridge at Montreal, and also by the un- fortunate Tay bridge at Dundee, which is now being rebuilt. The Victoria’ bridge is 10,380 feet long, or within 180 feet of two miles. The Tay bridge is, or will be, 10,612 feet long, or 52 teet over two miles. The length ‘of the Forth bridge is only 8,091 feet, or 2,289 feet less than the Victoria, aud 2,521 less than the Tay bridge. Neither is the height of its roadway its dis- Unguishing teature. In this respect, though nearly twice the height of the Newcastle high- navel Pes it is excelled by many others abroad. ‘The striking and unprecedented feature in the Forth bridge is the length of its greatest spans. The two longest spans of the Britannia bridge over Menai Strait measure 465 feet each. The Forth bridge has two spans of 1,710 teet each, which is not far short ot being four times as great, ‘This is a fair comparison, because the Britan- nia and the Forth bridge ure both fixed or stable bridges. Other bridges exist which have longer Spans than the Britannia can boast of, but they spension bridges, and are the able. The Niagara suspension bridge has a single ‘span of S20 feet. The cen- tral span of the Brooklyn bridge, at New York, measures 1,600 feet, which is the nearest the e proach to the giant strides of the Forth bridze. SI ut these, i have said, are suspension bridges, wh ave @ certain mobility and elasticity. The Forwh bridge will be as solid and 48 stable as the Britan or as Water joo bridge in London, o1 rth bridge in dinburgh; and yet its great spans will be greater than those of any bridge in existence. Well, thereiore, mn Baker boast that the greatest of existing bridges will be but as a baby: in comparison with his gian’ ‘The building of suc ploit.

OUR SYSTEM OF MEASURING AND THAT OF THE ANCIENT STATES, From the Popular Science Monthly. The natural divisions of time are theyearand the day. ‘The week is arbitrary, being probably derived from considerations first suggested by the rst chapter of Genesis. The month, though originally intended to be the time from one new moon tw the next, has, of necessity, de- parted from this idea, in order to make an even. humber in the year. ” The deeade and the cen- uury are purely artificial, deduced trom ‘our system of numbering. — But the di yeur, Lhe one derived irom the re ight and darkness, the other measuring. the round of the seasons, are universally adopted units of time, suggesting themselves alike to cultured and savage, and which we cannot think will ever be superseded, ‘The year is the time of the revolution of the earth around the sun. Its measure 1s most easily obtained b; the reappearauce of the sun ut the same alti tude in the sky. Everyone Knows that it is higher in suinmer, than in winter. It the circle of the earth's equator were extended right out from the center of the earth 1uto the sky, it would cut outa circle there which is called’ the celestial equator. Now, the sun grosses tis line in the shring horthward, agpiv- ing at ils greatest altitude in the middle ofthe suinmer; thence it descends, crossing the line southward in the fall, and reaching its lowest int in midwinter. ‘The ancients, by meusur- lug the length of the shadow cast by @ vertical stick on ditferent days of the year, arrived at surprisingly correct results as to the length of the year. In 450 B. C., Democritus asserted the year to be 365% days long, which is within about eleven minutes of the truth. Another ingenious device for the same purpose was that of the Egyptian astronomers, wno setup a Wheel parallel to the plane of the equator. When the sun wasin this plane, the shadow of the sunward side of the wheel would be exactly intercepted by the other, and the interval between two such occurrences would twenty minutes, and on his arrival at the Chambers street hospital was sub- to his office late, This finally called upon him the reproaches of his employer, to whom he re- nis peel believe in clvil service, and desire to carry out its principles. _{iBut what has that te do with your coming to the office.” “Why, I believe the office should seck the man, and not the man the office.” Fear No Grief. ‘Mortal, if thou art belove Bes omences are removed: Aud the fatefui thir that checked thee fiaildwe hearten aud protect thee Grow’ thou mellow?
