Pearls of Great Pries.
A pearl fishery of great value was
some time back re urtett in the Gulf of
Mexico.. During the winter fishermen
prospectors have found some pearls of
great value among not a few smaller
gems The first wag taken from the
shell of a pearl oyster in Peeent,er last,
1882. It is believed to be the largest on
record. It weighs seventy-five karats.
A jeweler u$re'red $1d -.(w$), widish was
accepted. The sum is far below Ile
real value. Auutheerof forty-seven kar-
ats founts. ;tertian in tai. to and
finely tinted:. It is valued on the spot
at 14.00 1 thirst pearl of forty kar-
ats. yet more beautiful, waee exhibited
at La Paz, where *WAN was bi.1. Thin
,access of the utast serious esadoration

As we entered the jail -yard, fifty or
sixty Men swarmed out front the Mark
doorways whir+ led into their 'teas all
heavily ehaineeti.with Ring, ebur -e, mat-
ted hair. banging in wie;ps. or standing
on end rough their death -like fat*les; in
filthy rags. with ternaeiated forms called
with dirt, and bearing marks of the tor-
ture; and nearly all wttit sore eyes,
swelled and bleeaing lips, skin diseases,
and putrefying sora. These surround-
ed us closely. ;and a-, net without a
shudder, I passed through totem and one
of their dens, they pressed upon n-,
bloeking out the ' light. uttering tlis-
eordant cries. and clamoring with one
voice, "kunt she -that is. Iaael sbeesh;
looking more like demons than living
men, as abject and depraved as erime,
despair and cruelty eau make them.
Within, the blaekne; s, the filth, the ver-
min, the stem+, overpowering even in
this cool weather -the rubbish of rags
and potsherds, cannot be described.
Here, in semi -starvation and misery,
with nameless cruelties preetieed upon
them without restraint, festering in one
depraved mass, are the tried and un-
tried, the condemned, the guilty and
the innocent (?); the murderer and the
pirate; the debtor and the petty thief,
all huddled together; without hope of
exit, except to the adjacent judgment -
seat, with its horrors of "the question
by torture," or to "the field of blood"
not far away. On earth can there be
seen a spectacle more hideous than that
of these abject wretches, with their
heavy fetters eating into the flesh of
their necks and ankles (if on their wast-
ed
asted skeletons, covered with vermin and
running sores, there is any flesh left),
their thick, matted, bristly black hair-
contr.•astingwith the shaven heads of the
free -the 'long, broken claws on their
fingers and toes, the hungry look in
their emaciated faces, and their clam-
orous cry, kun>-shat kum-shat They
thronged around us clattering their
chains, one man saying that they had
so little rice they had to "drink the foul
water to fill themselves;" another
shrieked, "would I were in your prison
in Hong -Kong," and this was chorused
by many voices saying, "In your prison.
in Hong -Kong they have fish and vege-
tables. and more rice than they can
eat, and baths, and beds to sleep on;
good, good is the prison of your queenl"
But higher swelled the cry of kum-sha;
and as we could not give alms to sever-
al
everal hundreds, we eluded them, though
with difficulty; and as we squeezed
through the narrow door, execrations
followed us; and high above the heavy
clang of the fetters and the general din
rose the cry, "Foreign Devils," (Fan-
Kwai), as we passed out into sunshine
and liberty, and the key was turned
upon them and their misery. -Isabella
Bird.
'•Did you hear about that row yester
day, and that Col. Peter Sandie was
knocked down and Major Sampleby had
his nose ;broken P"
"No, I didn't hear about it. How did
it happen?"
"Why, they were discussing the tar-
iff question, and it just happened in the
regular course of conversation." -Tex

A colored barber ou the Hudson riv-

a dusky maiden because he insisted on
putting off the marriage clay •until Oc-

being shot, but that it spoiled his new
trousers.
Rev. Mr. Beecher says he does not
believe the story of the fall of Adan
Perhaps he has arrived at this conclu-
sion from the fact that there were no
cranks in these days to throw banana
skins on the sidewalks, and water did
not freeze on the pavements with the
slippery side up.
Miss B. had told the servant to say
she was unwell if any gentlemen called.
and when the bell rang the girl met the
visitor. "Is Miss B. in?" he asked.
"Yes, sir, but she is siek." "Ah, in-
deed! I hadn't heard it. What's the
matter?" •+1 guess as how it must be
you, sir. for she was well enough before
you called."
