AT THE rEARL FISHERIES. A. WONDKRFTTI. INDUSTRY IN WON CEBFUX WATERS. Sr-nrchtriff for the Ci-m at Qnrrnft-. iHitit I'rlmltUo Methods of the Dlrers Tho Xradlnu Fleet. A Thursday Island (Queensland) let ter to the New York Sun describes the pearl fisheries of that region. Says the writer: It is a etrane place for any industry, the strangest for the finding of the beau tiful and ever mysterious gem which the natives believe are cloud born, and which, unlike all other gems, require no aid of art to hrin(T out their beauty. Innumer able islands crowd the dangerous straits, a thousand reefs and shoals scattered among them, and the shores of New Guinea and Australia breaking the green ish waters with a gray of rock and the brown of ragged bush. The islands, desolate ? the desert and arid as an alkali plain, repel all attempts at agricul ture. The scanty grass is poisonous to cattle, neither shrub nor treo Is found, and attempts to cultivate grain and vege tables have not met with any success. The inhabitants are few, but they are almost wholly dependent upon the pro visions which they secure from abroad, and know no other occupation than the fisheries. Port Kennedy is tho only town, a town with, a population of per haps 200 people, and having a Post Oflice, two inns, a customs station, a Court House and a jail. Tho harbor is formed by four islands, Goode, Ham mond, Friday and Thursday Islands, al most entirely landlocking it. Here the tidnl currents are rapid, the eddies fluct uating, the reefs and shoals many and dangerous. But here the pearl-shell ves sels lie, a fleet of nearly 200, having 1,500 employes, and floating 1,000 boats. Some of tho'larger vessels have a burden of fifteen to eighteen tons, but most of the fleet is composed of small craft vary ing from three to eight tons. The islanders, who have fished for years and years, are fishing still in their own good old way, paying no care to the overfishing of the white men. They know a pearl oyster as the farmer does a potato or an apple, and, knowing it so well, they are peculiarly adept at finding bivalves that contain pearls, choosing such by some fancied rule of thumb founded on the grounds of age, form, aud color. Men, women and children all dive like sea fowl, and the women are tho most expert. Three or four women are well known in the trade, and are noted not only for having plunged again and ugain into twenty. five fathoms of water, but as well for having done this in the very teeth of the sharks, and for having re mained under water as long as three Whole minutes. The native knows no industry save pearl fishing, and it is al tnost as natural for a child to dive as it is for a young duck or penguin. They enter upon, the service of fishing about as soon as they enter tueir teens, ana unless something happens they continue to dive until they are old and infirm. But some thing is apt to happen, and that some thing may be a red-mouthed shark, a paralysis, a hemmorrhage, or some other accident of physical failure. The shark is always at home in these seas, and his number is legion. It is no rare thing for a bold diver to come up minus a foot or an arm, and many go down never to come up again at all. Too many plunges in n day bring on hemmorrhage or congestion, and especially is this the case early in the fishing season, which for tho natives is a . period of four months, beginning in No vember. Too long-continued occupation causes paralysis, and headache ; deafness aud failure of sight occur very com monly. The diving is very primitive. Some traders have introduced tho diving-bells, but the natives decline to work in them, alleging that they cause early paralysis and certain deafness. The common practice is to no out on the water with a light wooden pipe, ten inches square and two feet long, glazed at one end. With this tube a ready prospecting is done, the glass end, which is put under water, serving the purpose of suppressing the surface ripple. When oysters are discov ered the diver belts himself with seven or eight pounds of ballast, and, having bandaged his mouth and protected his eyes ana ears with oiled cotton, he at taches a weight to his feet and goes de liberately ana boldly down with a rone Ju t before plunging he (or she) draws three or four full ami rnpid breaths, and lias the lungs full of air as he drops to the bottom irom six to luo leet below. Each dive occupies from sixty to ninety ecconds, and occasionally a diver has re mained under for two or three minutes, assisting himself to the surface by means of the rope. The divers hardly ever bring up more than one oyster, though they arc always on the lookout for a looso or "shed" pearl, which, if found, they quickly conceal by swallowing. While tho natives are eking out their precarious living in the old-fashioned way the boats from the trad in j fleet ore engaged in a more systematic and mfidfcJ cruniethodof fishiufr. Each well-cnuiiTneif vessel isf suppieu witn the necessary apparatus and professional divers. The apparatus is the best and most complete that can be procured, and the divers who use it arb under three years' contract at a wage of from $ i to f a day and an in terest in the catch. Each diver has four tenders, whoso pay is from $10 to $0 a month, and who are generally natives or Chinese. The method of fishing is for several vessels to go out together and fish on the same ground for a fortnight. Beaching a place where tho water is forty or fifty feet deep, the diver enters his boat, dresses, and jumps overboard. Upon reaching the bottom he leisurely walks along until ne comes to a bed of shells. where he proceeds to rill the sack that he carries. As soon as he has a sackful lie signals, and the sack is lifted up, emp lied, and sent down nain. Tho diver remains underwater for hours, sometimes from U o'clock in the morning until r in the afternoon. Tho shells, as they lio iu bed, are wide open, uud if touched iuthe wrong way the diver's hand is ujit to be cuught and held fast as iu a vise. While tho native islander can fish only for a limited sca-on, the divers using it)i patatus (u.'i fish all the year round, ex pt in very rough weither und duiiug Die severe iiiuiim.ous. The average ialrli for cir h vessel is ubout one ton a luoiilli, for, unlike the fisheries tt Ceylon the l'ersiau (Julf, there is little dilliculty in removing the shell, which lies loos on the ground and can be picked uj readily. These fisheries produce the tru pearl oyster, for the shell of which ther is great demand, both in America m( Europe. It is especially prized for th choico inlaid cabinet work that comtv from artistic hands, but is used princi pally for knife handles, buttons, ant ornamental work. Each day when tho boats run in to tht stations the men open tho oysters, Uk out tho pearls, if there are any, anc throw tho fish overboard. The shells accurately counted, aro cleaned and packed in cases of about 300 pound; each. Tho fishermen think more of ob taining shell than pearls, while tho island ers care nothing for shell, and solch seek the pearls. The best pearls art found when tho oyster is four years old, and "tho shell at that age is also at its best. The pearl of an oyster of this ae is ex cccdifigly transparent and pure, whilt that of the young oyster is of a yellow ish color, and that of the older of f pinkish hue. Sometimes it is found oj all colors, such ns white, silver, brown, steel, gray, blue, and even a perfect jef black. Several specimens have beer found as large as a hazel nut, and some nvstnra are caucht which are filled witl as many as 100 small pearlcttes; tho "scl pearl" of the artist. Last year there was found at Nickel Bay a mass of oys tcrs in tho form of a cross, each contain ing a pearl of about the si.e of a pea, and without a flaw of form or color. Horseback Tobogjranlnjr. Turkish riders are very daring, ami their horses aro well trained. Captain Burnabv tells of an adventure he me with in ridinff through tho mountains ol Armenia which is certainly novel. With his stride and servants, he came to glacier down which they must go. The frozen surface extended for at least one hundred yards. The incline, he says, was steeper than the roof of an average English house. One of the servants cast an lnauirinsr clance at the euide. The latter pave n crunt. "What do you think of it, Moham- medj" I asked. "Effendi. wo shall eo down very fast. If the Lord wills it, . we shall not break our bones." "If we do not take this route," said the guide, "we must make a detour for at least two hours. I think the horses can manage it, effendi." "Very well," I said, "you can try." The guide rode his horse to the glacier. The poor nnimal trembled when he reached the brink. "Ilaidc, get on!" cried Mohammed from behind, nnd.striking the quadruped on his flanks, tho animal stretched his forclejrs over the declivity, almost touca injr the slippery surface with his girth. Another crack with the whip, away went the guide and horse down the glacier, For the first fifty yards the man succeed ed in keeping his steed's head straight, A slight inequality in the Ice gavo tha animal s foot a twist in another direction horse and rider went round in mazy or cles.

A second later we were buried, as the guide had been, in six feet of snow. Next came the turn of my followers Their descent was a fearful thing to wit ness, but, fortunately, not half so dan serous as it appeared. With the excep. lion of some damage to the luggage and saddlery, there was little harm done. "I never thought as how a horse could skate, sir, before I" remarked an English servant, as ho slowly extracated himself from tho snow drift. "It was more than sliding, that it was a cutting of figures of eight all down the roof of a housel And then I was buried alive to finish up with!" Losing Control of the Nerves. "Riding last fall on a crowded train, " said a Chicago physician, "I noticed a young fellow, handsome, dashing, and reckless, who was indulging in all sorts of dare-devil capers on the platform. He seemed to have most perfect control of his nerves. He would lean out from tho car, standing on the platform steps, stoop to grab at tho flowers and shrubs along the line, as though he took delight in frightening the ladies who wore protest ing against his movements. He gave no attention at all to the warnings of the TaifrWd men, leaning out even as one spoko sharply to him, with a look of smiling incredulity on his face. The train was flying by a switch, and the I signal piece of the switch beam or lever UQf uck the man fair on the cheek. It was a lorriDie blow una it leir. a terrible wound. My bold, reel: less, daring man was on the instant as nerveless as a fright ened irl. It required the quick use of restoratives and the most careful treat ment to have him rally, and he was for weeks the most despondent, discouraged invalid tliart have ever been called upon to treat." "Per contt' said a young fellow who had listened 4-aJi great uttention to this story, "there is rny wife, rihe is the most nervous, excitable little piece of human ity that you will find anywhere. A caterpillar will frighten her oil of the sidewalk and a mouse or a rat will give her more trouble and misery than a wild lion would me. The other day we were moving some piece of furniture aud in the skirmish I squeezed my tSiumb uutil I howled like an Indian. I dropped every thing t ) look after my bruised thumb. I was called to my tuusca by the quiet tones of my nervous wife. She Kiid without a trace of excitement iu her voice, My haint is under this,' and that was true. The little pinch that had set me howling as as a dro to lh.it crushed hand, and J'ut fclie waited patiently till I lifted the heavy load fiom it und released her. I win never say miuse to her naiu." In cr- Uicdit, SELECT SITTINGS. Tho mocking-birds are so numerous in Dry Valley, Nevada, this season that during the night they drown tho yelp of the coyotes with their songs. A novelty reported is a pair of specta cles having a silvered area on tho inner edges of the glasses, "so that objects out of tho direct field of vision may be scrn by the vigilant wearer." Tho Puritans in the time of Charles, I considered it a sin, according to Macau- lev, to hang garlands on a Maypole, to drink a friend's health, to fly a hawk, to hunt a stag, to play at chess, to put starch in a ruff or to read the "Fairy Queen." Toothache, caused by a cold in tho facial nerves, may often be relieved by wringing a soft towel out of cold watcrand sprinkling it with strong vinegar. This should be laid on the face like apoultico, and will often bo followed by a refresh ing sleep. A French statistician gives the follow- insr na the proportionate number of "oer- sons killed annually on tho railways of tho respective countries : France.one in every 2,000,000; England, one in every 5,250,- 000, Belgium, ono in every s,000, 000; Prussia, oho in every 21,G00000. In the time of King Etnclwald, tho father of Alfred, it was notthought need ful for Kings, noblemen or gentlemen to know how to read. This was left for Priests or Clergymen. Kings used to make their mark when they signed a document. Tho young Princes and Nobles were taught hunting, wrestling and the like, and 'they were also accus tomed to hear poems and songs in their own laaguagc. The Mandan Indians have a peculiar way of jousting meat. The roast is sus pended from the roof of the hut exactly over tile lire, tne cora, being passed through and fastened to the centre of the pieco, keeps it in a flat position directly over the flames. A person is seated near it-and with a small stick keeps it contin ually in motion by pushing it to and fro. When one side is done it is turned over and fit for use. The method is much more expeditious than the common way of roasting before the fire and is pref erable, as it retains the natural juice and flavor. Tho Calendarium of the ancient Ro mans, like our own almanac and calen dar, contained the astronomical, agricul tural and religious notices of each month in the-ear, the namo of the month, the number of days it contained, and the length of the day and night, the sign of tho zodiac through which the sun passes, the various agricultural operations to bo performed during the month, the divinity under whose guardianship the month was placed, and the various religious festi vals which fell in it.

A party of Russian engineer officers ventured into tho hostile Territory of Bokhara, with the hope of surveying a portion of it before they were discovered. But they were compelled to relinquish their design on the appearanco of an overwhelming force of Bokhariote horse men, who quickly surrounded them. Seeing that resistance was impossible, the Bpftian leader advanced with friendly greetings and announced himself ns a special envoy from the Czar to the Ameer, and in that character demanded to be led into . the presenceyf that im- fiortant personage. The npe worked ike a charm,. and the party made a tri umphant entry into the capital, escorted by their captors. With dijo ceremony the gentlemen were ndmjcd to an audience, and the chief officer, with dignity and impressiveness, conveyed assurances of profound regard from the Czar of all the Russias. to his royal brpther and concluded 'by prescnt iffg' his own gold watch and silver handled knife to the savage despot as gifts from his august master to the Ameer. Everything was proceeding smoothly, when the Asiatic King upset the .whole business by asking for the Czar's letter. He knew how such matters were always conducted of course the Czar had accompanied his gifts by a let ter. At this demand the self-appointed ambassador turned as pale as death, and stood tho picture of mute despair. But a young subaltern at his side came to the rescue. With almost a preternatural presence of mind, he drew forth his pocket-boot and carefully unfolded an old play-bill of the Alexander theatre, at St.iletersburg,and coolly read from it an imaginary letter of congratulation, wind ing up by handing it to tho Ameer, with a profound obeisance. II Eminence of Bokhara had already ben the Czar's name appended to official documents, and was entirely satisfied Jjy the sight of the huge lino "Alexander" at tho top of the bill, together with the double eagle of Russia, and the nrccious plav-billwas reverently deposited amon the archives of Bokhara, where it probably remains to this clay, a sonrco of wonder and amusement. tj Use of Colored Glass. I asked Mr. Mitchell, manager of the Tiffany Glass Company, to what he at tributed tho recent marked developments in the use o colored glass. "There are several causes," ho replied. "The Cen tennial Exhibition gave an impetus to everythingfertaining to art, and no form benefited . more than that which employs colored glass. It has been found that not only is it beautiful and useful for home decoration, but that it is an art especially adapted to the preservation of memorials. While glass is one of the most fragile of substances it has proved t be one of the most enduring. Glass of the twelfth and thirteenth c enturies ' jfwsts to-day in as perfect a condition, as A i color, design and inscriptions, as when it was first made. Marble and granite have been the materials most em ployed heretofore iu memorials of the dead or of great events. Tho tendency now is to use colored glasses more large ly for such purposes, and to decorate our churches rather than cur cemeteries. Memorials are, moreover, properly asso ciated with religious sentiments; aud this natural association i finding expres sion in this lorin of church decoration. A meuioriul window iu u church or Ca thedral serves tit once to keep ulive the memory of the dead, to express the grat itude of the donors to the church, aud to oil er iu souiu suitable inscription the con solatious of religion to thoso who inouia." Ao York Tribune. In iha NfwTork Trodnco Exchange. Businrss begins in the 'Tit" it 10:80 A. m.. Buyers and sellers are indiscrimi nately blended in the compact, throb bing, surging mass. All offers and bids are on a "unit basis of 8,000 bushels. Winter wheat is the only grain in mind. "I'll give four and a half 1041 cents per bushel for May wheat," is the bid of a nervous, activo broker, emphasized by uplifted hand and moving fingers. "I'll sell at five," is the quick rejoinder of a neighbor. "I'll give five-eighths." "I'll sell you at three-quarters." One-eighth Is the only obstacle to a bargain. Long and furiously, or short and sharply, the conflict rages around that one-eighth. The tug of war on the part of the seller is to pull the buyer up one eighth, and on the part of the buyer to pull the seller down one-eighth. The contest is quite ss exciting ns aught in the intercollegiate games. But sel dom is the battle drawn. Victory, hesi tant in the vocal hurricane, docides for one of two parties. Bids and offers are usually regulated by telegrams . from Chicago. The difference in prices be tween the two marts should bo the: cost of transmission from the latter to New York. Manipulation, or, in other words, gambling, at cither point, defies all criteria of value. A "corner" in Chi cago may raise wheat there above tho normal price at New York; or a broken corner in New York .may depress wheat below the healthful standard at Chicago. .Uarper. Origin of a Famous Phrnao. In answer to a reader's inquiry the Inter-Qcran gives tho following account of the origin of the well-known phrase, "To the Victor belongs the spoils." This famous phrase originated with William L. Marcy, of .New York, who in a speech before the Senate in January, 1832, in defense of President Jackson, said of his constituents, that they "see nothing wrong in the rule that to the victors bo long the spoils of tho enemy." The doc trine is called Jacksonian, because Presi dent Jackson had put the principle so strongly in force even before it had been thus epigramatically enunciated by Mr. Marcy, and because he fn the first Presi dent who did so. 'Ttck'een April 80. 1789, when Washington was inaugurated as President, and the inauguration of Jackson, March 4, 1820, only seventy three removals from office had been made by all the Presidents, including all re movals for cause. During the hrst year of President Jackson's administration he mnde over 700 removals, almost wholly for political reasons. Origin of a Familiar. Word. The word "queer" has a remarkable origin ottributed to it. One night, fyen the performance at Drury Lano was fin ished, tho celebrated Quiii, many of whoso jokes are still remembered, offered to bet a young nobleman i'lCO that next morning n word would be in universal use which had never been heard before. The nobleman accepted tho wager and left the theatre. Then Quin summoned all the "supers," who happened to be very numerous, und gave each a largo piece of chalk. He told them to go all through the leading thoroughfares of London, and write at intervals on the flags the word "queer." Quin's orders were faithfully carried out: nnd, on the following morning, of course, people were astonished tho word was in every body's mouth. The great actor with lit tle difficulty made good his claim to the nobleman's banknote, While bequeathing a new word to the language. TiutleyU Mayazine. Sound Principle but Poor Poetry.
