&C. Philo S. Shelton, of Boston, has adj
dressed long letter to Secretary Marcy, in
relation to the damages be sustained in his
vessels being ordered off from the Bird or
Guano Islands, by the authorities of Vene-
zuela. He desires that vessel of war be
sent to Venezuela, with instructions to our
minister there, to demand indemnify for his
losses. What is necessary, no doubt, will
be done by the Secretary. The Islands are
barren rocks, in the Caribbean sea, the prin-
cipal one of which is only mile in circum-
ference, and had not, in March, 1854, any
soil or land, or houses or trees, or heritage OF
any kind upon it, and was never inf abited
by man before the agents of the party landed
upon it. A deposit of guano was discovered
on the principal isle, which gave the sole
value to it.

Echo IN THE SKIEs.-In the recent balloon
excursion of NJ. GODDARD, it is stated by the
passengers that at the height of ID 900 feet
from the earth, everything said or spoken
out distinctly by them was returned in about
minute in an echo, and this echo was as
clear and distinct as the words uttered by
voice. Er.
Mr.. Brooks, in his recent excursion from
this city, reported that after passing the
dense cloud though which he was seen to
disappear the echo of words spoken was
singularly perfect, and although not much of
a vocalist when on Terra FIrnna, yet his
singing he thought approached nearer the
Celestial" up there, than any thing he ever
heard before. The echo only lasted while
he was in close proximity to the Clouds
He, however, could hear the rumbling of
drays, and the sounds of the hammer verv
distinctly at distance of nearly three miles
above the city.

o. The Chicago Democrat is opposed to
the Liquor Prohibition Law, voted upon this
week in Illinois, because it is opposed to the
Constitution and attacks the natural rights
of man. 1t is very singular fact, that
there is scarcely an Old Line Democratic pa
per in the country not opposed to Prohibit
ory Liquor Laws. They find something
rights of man (meaning the particular right
to get drunk whenever he pleases) in every
law offered We hope to hear the Prohib-
itory measure has received the votes of the
great majority of the people of Illinois.

Pearls

There are but few things with which we
are acquainted, that possess a greater de-
gree of beauty than pearls. Pearls are hard,
white and shining bodies, generally of a
reundish form, taken from the body and
shell of a testaceous fish resembling an oys-
ter. Their color is generally beautiful,
silvery white, but they are found of various
hues, transparent, semi-transparent. opaque,
brown, black. Those ished up from the Per-
sian Gulf, Cor Sea of Catif) are of golden
yellow color. The most famous are in the
Persian Gulf, near the Isle of BALKAN
There is another near the Isle of Ceylon, in
the direction of the coast of Madura.-
Pearl fisheries on the coast of America,
have not been profitable. There is one
thought to be of great value on the coast Of
Japan. The Japanese have fondness for
jewels, and have no intercourse with Euro
peans or Americans; hence this fishery has
been but little attended to. This may in
some future time be a source of great wealth,
and point of great interest.
Pearls are exceedingly beautiful and pre-
cious, surprising in value the finest gold
Some of large size and singular beauty
have been estimated at some hundred thou
sand dollars. julius Caesar gave SerVilla.
the mother of Brutus, a pearl of the value
of two hundred thousand dollars. Julius
Caesar was terrible spendthrift, and would
doubtless have been guilty of many extra
VACANCIES, had not the we'll beloved Brutus
given him that cruel stab under the fifth rib
On the''day of ass assination, Cesar's friend,
M. Anthony, owed $l,50OOOO, which was
all paid in thirty days afterwards. This
same Anthony subsequently, swallowed a
pearl, dissolved in vinegar, which Cleopatra
administered to him, worth 100000. ESQ
pus, the comedian, had son Clodius, who
among other gastronomic feats, swallowed
pearl valued at $4,000. Philip ii of Spain,
received at one time pearl valued at $4,000
ducats.
There is fable that runs in this wise:-
A drop of water fell from cloud into the
sea, and finding itself surrounded with a
world of water, broke out in the following
soliloquy: "Alas! what an Insignificant
creature am in this prodigioas mass of fluid
matter; l am nothing; my existence is of nc
avail in the universe; | am the least of all
the works of Cod" and while thus mus
ing upon its supposed nothngness, an oyster
swallowed il up. The drop lay for some
time within the enclosure of the she'll, anC
continued to harden, till at last it ripenet
into pearl. This pearl subsequently fel
into the hands of diver, after several peril
Gus adventures, and is at present the pear
that glitters on the brow of high-boEn beauty

PARoDIsE are seldom so close to their or
FINALS as the following upon "1he Last Rose
Summer" by Thomas Moore:
'''Tis the last golden dollar,
Lett shining alone;
All its brilliant companions
Are squandered and gone.
No coin offs nTintage
Reflects back its hue -
They went in mint-juleps,
And this will go too.
"Ill not keep Thee, thou lone one,
Too long in suspense; t-r
Thy brothers were melted,
And melt thou, to pencil
ask for nc quarter,
I'll spend and not spare,
Till my old tattered pocket
Hangs cenIless and barrel
IS soon may 1oller,'
When friendships decay;
And from beg9ary's last dollar,
The dimes drop away!
When the Maine law has passed,
And the gro2geres sink:
What use would be dollars,
With nothing to drink"
