A ItlSE IN DIAlHOIfDSe All About the Precious Stones of Dif ferent Diamond Fields. From the New York Sun. Whether it be on account of the in creased demand for diamond earings from Wall street persons, or on account of the decreasing supply of the precious stones, both from the Cape fields and the "Districto Diamantino" of Brazil, certain it is that the price of fine dia monds has risen fifteen per cent. DealT ers complain, however, that they cannot get the higher price to which they have gone; as the majority of purchasers in sist upon the old average of. $50 to $75 a carat. They are therefore obliged to use inferior stones to keep their trade going. There is really no difference be tween a good Brazilian stone and a good" stone from the Cape, and the outcry re cently raised in London by a lady who discovered that the diamonds she had bought as Brazilians were Africans was a fanciful one. The frauds of the Dutch and English dealers are perpetrated mainly in cutting the Brazilian and Cape diamonds in the old-fashioned styles of the Indian stones, which were in vogue before the Brazilian fields were discovered in 1730 and which now have the value of antiquities. The only su periority of the Brazilian over the Cape diamonds is that the percentage of fine stones is larger in South America than in Africa. Thus, for instance, in a thousand Brazilian stones three hun dred fine ones may be found, while the Cape will not yield more than a hun dred specimens of the same quality. The momentary scare produced among the possessors of a "wealth of jewelry by the report that Hannay, the Scotch chemist, had discovered the secret of making artificial diamonds has now en tirely disappeared. He acknowledges that he never really made anything otit "very small quantities of a suostance like borL" Bort is known in the trade as a dark brown stone similar to the diamond in its properties and of use only in cutting real stones P? fr. drills lnrr nnrnnooa rr.

A Woman ta Wash! a ft on Dorins; President JackMB's Adminitration What She Did and How other Women Treated Her. April Atlantic. The woman used as a tool by Mr. Van Buren is a somewhat picturesque figure in the political chronicles of the capital. Her maiden name was Mar garet O'Neil, although she was known when a girl as Peg, and she was one of the daughters of the keeper of a tavern at which Gen. Jackson used to put up before his election to the presidential chair. She had the little form, the fair skin, the dark red hair, and the keen, cat-like gray eyes of her Milesian an cestry, while she was as full of fun, frolic and flirtation as the typical dam sel on the banks of the Lake of Killar ney. Carressed and teased by the guests at the tavern, she grew up to be Sert, piquant and audacious, and Gen. ackson, who had always admired her when she was a child, was delighted when he learned, years afterwards, that his "little friend Peg" then the widow Timberlake was to be married to bis old comrade, Gen. Eaton. There was much scandal at Washington about the death of her first husband and her mar riage to the second; but Gen. Jackson paid no heed to it, and when he became President he appointed Gen. EatOn Secretary of War. Washington society was horrified, and it soon became known that Mrs. Calhoun, with the wives of other members of the Cabinet, did not intend to call on Mrs. Eaton, or to invite her to their houses. She car ried her griefs to the White House, where Mr. Vau Buren had paved the way for them, and the gallant old Presi dent swore "BY THE ETERNAL1' that the scandal-mongers who had im bittered the last years of his beloved wife Bachel should not triumph over his "little friend Peg." This was Tan Buven's opportunity. He was a widower, keeping house at Washington, and as Secretary of State he was able to form an alliance with the bachelor Ministers of Great Britain and of Russia, each of whom had spa cious residences. A series1 of dinners, bails, and suppers was inaugurated at these three houses, and at each succes sive entertainment Mrs. Eaton was the honored guest, who led the country dance, ana occupied the seat at the ta ble on the right of the host. Some re spectable ladies were so shocked by her audacity that they would leave a room when she entered it. She was openly denounced by Clergymen, and she found herself in positions which would have covered almost any other woman Washington with shame. Mrs. Ea ton, who did not apparently possess a consc ientious or an honorable scruple as to the propriety of her course, evi dently enjoyed the situation, and used to visit Gen. Jackson every day with a fresh story of the insults paid her. Yet she gave no evidences of diplomacy nor of political sagacity, but was a mere beautiful, passionate, impulsive puppet, held up by Gen. Jackson, while Mr. Van Buren adroitly pulled the strings that directed her movements. Mr. Calhoun, whose wife was fore most among those ladies who positive ly refused to associate with Mrs. Eaton, said to a friend of Gen. Jackson's, who endeavored to effect a reconciliation, that "THE QTJAKRELS OF WOMEN, like those of the Medes and Persians, admitted of neither inquiry or explana tion." He know well, however, that it was no woman's quarrel, but a political game of chess played by men, who were using women as their pawns, and he lost the game. Van Buren and Eaton next tendered their resignations as cab inet officers, which Gen. Jackson refus ed to accept; whereupon the cabinet officers whose wives declined to call on Mrs. Eaton resigned, and their resigna tions were promptly accepted. The whole city was in a turmoil. Angry men walked about with bludgeons, seemng "satisfaction ; ouels were talk ed of ; old friendships were severed; and every fresh indignity offered his "little friend Peg" endeared her the more to Gen. Jackson, who was duly grateful to Van Buren for having es poused her cause. "It is odd enough," wrote Daniel Webster to a friend, "that the consequence of this dispute in the social and fashionable world is produce ing great political effects, and may very probably determine who shall be suc sessor to the present Chief Magistrate."
