A Priest Arrested in Mexico. Montekey, Mexico, June 12. Yester day Rev. Father Lorenzo Maurel, a Brownsville priest, came to this side of the river to celebrate mass. He relied his black cassock up about his waist and attracted no attention until on his retnrn he stepped in the ferry skiff, and let his cassock fall, when a vigilant policeman pounced on him and arrested him for an infraction of the ttanstitutipn of J857 and the reform laws, which makes it a severe offense for a priest to appear in the streets in Ills robes. The reverend father was carried back to the city and jailed, but late in the afternoon, through the influ ence of a number of prominent ladies and gentlemen, was released. Dr. Diaz Gutierrez responding for him, and today a fine of $2.1 was imposed and paid. The affair has created quite a ripple of excite ment on both sides of the river.

MAGIC POWER8 OF 'SILENT TONGUE AND FULL PURSE." L Precaution to b Tken The Abo- luteljr IotllspcnMblo Nd licolia i Wrapper An' Important Item Minor Convenience Hint ou Irea. "A silent tougxta and a full purse" ore the magie power which every successful trav eler must press luto his sorvico. These, with a reasonably good idea of the iitness of things, will save untold annoyance and chagrin. Among the most important responsibilities of a prospective journey ts to decide where you wish to go and by wbat route, provided you wub to "do" a cer tain amount of territory in a given time. There are a few experienced tourists who in sist that they never travel, they only "wan der." The spirit moves them some fine day to "go somewhere." If a foreign tour seems to suit their mood, they select a steamer, for its superior accommodations perhaps, not be cause It goes to any special port or that it is the fastest sailer of the line. Wherever it lands them thero will be no difficulty in get ting away, "an' it please them not." In this way a party of three or four K:rsons have made the most enjoyable trips of their lives. mey carried jituo luggage, h Loa a gar ment was unpresentable it was discarded and another bought. What matter if they were not just according to their taste? It was good enough, and nothing further was de- man led. Parties who nave gone only by stereo typed methods in traveling will enjoy a new revelation by trying one of these eccontrio trips. Ihe precaution should bo taken to mail to the home address tho probable where abouts, in case of accident or emergency. Indeed, this should never bo neglected what ever the plan may be. An excellent method Is to carry envelopes stamped and addressed. eacn containing a card, mere are many times when one can pencil a note on a card, ana is wouiu oe impossible to write on a sheet of paper. One of these may bo dis patched whenever there is a change of lo cality, and in this way the traveler is always "flndublo" in case of need or accident at homo. There are so many things to bo considered when tho general subject of traveling comes before us that one almost hesitates where to begin. Among the absolutely indispensable needs or the traveler are plenty of money, inaxhaustible'good nature, a fair amount of tact an i adaptability, and the faculty of con: forming to circunistancea. With these qualifications, and the very important item of judicious selecting and packing properly attended to, it only remains to emukito tha honey bee and seek to extract the honey of enjoyment from even the poisonou3 flowers of disappointment and delay. Is ever worry about the progress of the journey; that is always looked after by peo ple wnoso business Jt is. if a train is not on time, no amount of questions or fau't finding will be of any use. The olllcials are fully as anxious to liuve everything go on regularly as me traveler can possibly bo, and their anxiety is much greater for very evident reasons. Provide whatever guide books and plans of travel are necessary, lefore start ing. Oftentimes those exposed for s;ile ou trains or various other traveling conveyances are put there tor tho primary object of being sold, and it is not unusual to see guido booli.3 or pians arraiijrca soieiv witu a view to inuding tho special attractions of that line, while tho various connections, which kiv ften very important to tourists, are either entirely omitted or so placed on tho mspas to appear entirely inaccessible and not by any means the most desirable poiuts of change. Interesting books should always be at bund. It is well to carry in the hand bag a number of strong paper wrappers, properly stamped and addressed, in which a booli. when read, may be mailed either to the owner's home or to some friond who will ea joy tho perusal of it. In this way many interesting volumes may be preserved which would otherwise be neglected and thrown aside pn account of growing troublesome by the way. One of the most important items in prepar ing for a journey of any length is the careful study of everything that pertains to comfort neglect or this will bring in its train a thou sand annoyances and vexations, and what might otherwise be a delightful season will be likely to remain in the memory as a suc cession of annoyances and possible regrets. Properly equipped, any philosophical person may make a continuous journey of a week or ten days without experiencing any serioua discomfort. The amateur tourist who packs his luggage for a journev of any creat lenet'i is paofe than likely fo.find hiniself pumberpl witn an immense number of needless arti cles, and seriously inconvenienced for lack of those things that will be found almost abso lutely necessary during the first day of traveL Experienced travelers never trust to the chance of procuring tho minor conveni ence pi top toilet on their journey, as it is often almost' out of the question to get rea sonably good articles of necessity without great trouble and perhaps' serious delay. JJLock phis, toilet pins, safety pins, bonnet puis, small black beaded pins, eto., should all be abundantly supplied before starting, and they should invariably be fit rood quality. Cheap articles pf this sort are almost, If not entirely, worthies, and the trifle more In cost is really of very little im portance, considering their much greater utility and reliability. Essentially necessary Is an outfit suited in ensvy 7TUJ to the climate? circumstances an geueral appearance" of the traveler. None oi these poiuts should be overlooked. With the modern ideas on dress, tho traveling outfit may be oue of the most elegant and charac teristic of any of a lady's belongings. By this it tuust pot be inferred that it should be either very costly or elaborate, or in any sense conspicuous; indeed, quiet elegance is the all important point in such outfits. Tho severely pialn s by far the best taste, and veteran travelers eon tell at a glance the habits, and, in many respects, tho station in life, of the novice who comes in their way. Good, reliable, serviceable materials should always be selected. Cheap goods for travel ing are always the most expensive in the end, t i ir i ki Pao Vun, president of the Pckin (China) Academy, U translating Shakespeare's plays into Chinese.

Diamonds are mostly found in a hard, bluish green rock, winch has to le blasted. 1 he debris of a blast may possess a Kohi noor, and it must lo looked for. The blue ground is sent up from the mine in iroj buckets and is taken to a plot of ground rented for the purpose called a d'iK.-itin noor, aim alter iMing ilunijx-d down la heap ts spread out on the ground mi largo cofirsa lumps, just as it leaves tho pick und fchovil of tho miner.

It is then thrown against coarse sieves to separate tho larger Btonos, which aro flung aside, and is after ward taken to tho washing machine. Ihia consists of a circular iron tub, rather fchallow and somo 10 or 12 feet in diameter, in. which aro fixed from tho center six or eight rakes, with long teeth six inches apart. which aro kept perpetually revolving by a small steam engine, or by a whim worked by horses or mules. ator is tent flowin - i;i tho tub through ono opt ning us tho dianiond iferous soil is worked in throueh another. Tho revolution of tho rakes causes a thorough disintegration of the stuff, tho lighter tor- tiou of which is forced over the uptier edge. carried away by the engino und thrown on tho refuse heap. After sixty or eighty lend have been passed through the machine, the rakes are lifted un and the contents of th box carefully taken out. It will bo at once understood that only the heaviest portions of the precious soil, and therefore the diamonds. It there ure aiM", have been left iu tho ma chine, tho lighter ports having been washed over tho upper edge of the box. When taken out, the residue, which con sists of nothing but hea?y ironstone and car- uou in a pure state and crystals of various hues, is carefully sifted through sieves of dif ferent degrees of fineness, sometimes placed one under tho other in cradle and thoroughly rocked. Then, when every trace of foreign matter has been carefully removed, a dex terous tui u of the hand, as tho sieve with its contents is held in a tub of water, brings the diamonds, garnets twd tho heavier lumps tf ironstone mu a niwo heap u the very cen ter, so that wheii tho sieve is reversed on the common pino sorting table they lie together. ihe white alum liko appearance of the rouh diamond contrasts stionclv with tho ru-h hued garnets with which tho surrountlinc blackness of carlion and ironstone is studded. It Is only by practice that ono is enabled to tell at siht what 13 a diamond; a sicvo may to all appearances bu full of them: but they aro only probably crystals which could ea-j!y bo detected from diamonds bv takincr ono between tho teeth; tho diamond resists their action, but tho crystal crumbles awav.
