to the confirmation of the treaty. We now, in

Mexican feeling, select piece from late city of

project:

| THE CAVALRY OF GEoRGIA.-Mr Locke, the
| editor of the Savannah Republican, graduate OF
West Point and for several years an officer in the
Artillery gives spirited sketch of the military
| turnout on the 22d. 1t seems that in the sham
battle, the Cavalry charged squares of Infantry,
We venture the remark that no part of the United
States can furnish better material for Cavalry than
| the low country of Georgia. We are acquainted
somewhat with the mode OF life of the young men
in this section of the State. They are almost
brought up on horseback, and early acquire seat
in their saddles from which it is easy to dsplace
them The chasing of the deer in Gynn, McIn-
tosh, Liberty, Bryan, Eifgham and other counties
is often attended with incidents which in some of
| the States would almost be regarded as belonging
| TO the marvellous.
cat the termination OF the review not only the
'pomp,' but something OF the
| Circumstance of glorious war
was exhibited. Several charges were made on the
square against cavalry with great brlliancy and
animation.
"In our opinion, this evolution ought never to
| be repeated on similar occasions The charge OF
cavalry is a very serious thing it carries with it a
moral and physical weight so formidable that it is
not d hohudy sPoi" IL IL l" leal warfare made IN
full career, and the actual physical shock, like a
heavy sea breaking against some floating object, is
that which produces the impression Hence, there
| is only one step from the imitation to the actuG
anset That step is easily taken. Even the horses
themselves, if well trained are not content to COM
| up within few PAGES merely look at the serrie
ranks, and wheel back again. On the other hand
if saddle or two be emPtied, the propriety G
capturing the rider might well be questioned"

GLASS PEARLs,-These pearls, though among
the most beautiful inexp ensive and common orna-
ments for women now made, are produced by a
very singular process. In 1856, about two hun
dred years ago, Venetian, named Joaquin, discov.
cred that the scales of species of fish called bleak
fish, possessed the property of communicating a
pearly hue to water. He found, by experiment,
that beads, dipped in this water assumed, when
dried, the appearance of pearls. 1t proved, how
ever, that the pearly coating when placed outside
was easily rubbed off, and the next improvement
was to make the beads hollow. The making Of
these beads is carried to this day in Venice
The beads are all blown separately By means OF
small tube the insides delicatey coated with
the pearly liquid, and wax coating is placed over
that 1t requires the scales of four thousand fishes
to produce half pint of the liquid, to which SINAI
Quantities Of sal ammonia and isinglass are after
wards added.
