A New ScIENcE-IIYDRoscoPY- Joseph Gau-
therot, mining engineer in France, distin-
gushed by a peculiar talent of observation,
united with an extraordinary perseverance in
investigations of geological strata, says the
Tocn Talk has discovered a law Of nature,
which enables him, by examining the features
of the surface, to direct where subteraneous
sources of water are to be found. Thus he
pointed out the places of digging wells to such
an extent that he was honorably rewarded in
1916 by the French Government for his bene-
fetal services to different communities. In
the district of Hautc Maine, well was dug,
yielding 1000 litres of water per hour. The
French Government has recently appointed
him for Algiers, where, at different cities, wells
are now dug out with the best result; and he
is considered among the Christians, Moham-
medans and Jews, as a second Moses in the
desert.

The PALMErToEs.-At the banquet attend
ing the recent celebration in Columbia, South
Carolina, Col. Keitt was called out by toast.
During his remarks, he related that Hon.
Preston S. Brooks, at the time of his death,
was having prepared signet ring to commem-
orate an incident that happened to his brother
at the battle of Cherubusco, Mexico. tits as
follows:
"When another regiment fled, and all the
horrors and scourges of war were putting
down upon the gallant Pamettoes, bathed in
the blood of their comrades-when Shields
said, "Who will follow me?" and Butler said,
ave wilt" Brooks, yes, the STRIPPING Brooks,
cried out, eyes, all will follow you to the
death"-and he did The same ball which
pierced his body shivered his musket-and a
shivered musket was to adorn the signet, with
the motto salts meruisse When his brother
left home, Brooks told him his father said to
his old body servant, ego with him, and take
care of him--I confide my son to you" How
did the good old negro act when the baptls-
ment of blood was going on-when perils were
lingering around-when the hot ignition Of
stratagem was everywhere-with none to
watch the wounded boy but this old servant,
he was at his labor of love, taking care of his
charge. Crushed bones worked out from the
wound-he gathered them up and preserved
them. The noble spirit passed out, and the
corpse alone was left. What did the old and
faithful servant? The regiment gave him a
mule and cart; the soldiers helped him to make
rude coffin With his own hands he placed
the earthly remains of his beloved young mas
ter in the hearse-he conveyed it to Mexico
he carried it to Vera Cruz--he bore it on ship
board and by railroad, to his old masters
home, and delivered the body and bones of
her child to his widowed and bereaved mother,
at the Intel of his birthplace. This is literally
true. In classic story--in legendary annals
in ancient or modern time-where is the equal
of this touching story?

A JoHS DEAN CASE IN PARIs.-Young Ia
dies in this country, Of romantic turn of mind,
may derive some idea of the misery which
awaits i-assorted matches, from case now
before the Paris tribunals, in which Madame
Chabre seeks to be divorced from her hus-
band, Monsieur Chabre, alias Lightning"
That lady, it appears, is the daughter of noble
Belgian family, and she was some years ago
possessed of beauty, youth, and some $4,000.
1t happened that while visiting the famous
circus of NJ. Djean, at Brussels, she fell des-
perately in love with the clown Of his estab-
lshment, surnamed Lightning, probably from
the marvellous manner in which he blazed
away. She followed the interesting object of
her passion to Paris, where she and Lightning
were united in the holy bonds of matrimony.
But the ungrateful clown, after spending the
money brought to him by his romantic wife,
deserted the latter, and went away with
young lady connected with Franconi's whose
talents in jumping through paper hoops capti-
vated his practical mind.

.xorurt PEARL FISH STORY.

There has been considerable excitement in
neighborhood in the immediate vicinity of this
city, for the past two weeks, says the Albany
.Statesman, although il has extended at present
but to a limited circle, in consequence Of the
discovery of a large number Of pearls, which,
in size, purity and value, are certainly une-
qualed by any that haze yet been found in
the different localities in which they are said
to abound, even supposing the most extrava-
giant newspaper description to fall far short Of
the reality. 1t appears, so far as we can at
present ascertain the reliable facts, that about
fourteen or fifteen days since, two gentlemen,
who were about to proceed on fishing ex-
cursion were searching in a mud-bottomed
creek near the city for bait, when one of them
found large sized common mussel. BY way
of joke, he called out TO his companion that
he had picked up valuable gem, and then
laughingly produced the mussel, saying that
the gem was inside in the shape Of priceless
pearl. His friend smiled at the "sell, and
the mussel was actually thrown aside without
being opened.
Shortly afterwards, however, the same gen
tleman came across another mussel, smaller
than the first, but with round, full shell. This
time, his curiosity being somewhat aroused,
he took out his knife inserted it between the
shell and forced them apart. To his utter as
tonishment, he actually discovered small, but
beautifully pure pearl, perfect in shape, and
free from the slightest flaw. He now shouted
to his friend in earnest, and when he returned,
the two went back to the spot where the first
mussel had been cast, recovered and opened
il, and discovered to their amazement and de-
light, that it contained pearl of nearly fabu-
lous size, of an oval shape, and as pure and
perfect as the one first found. Unpractised as
they were in Judging Of such things they fore
saw in moment that its value alone must be
a fortune.
As our readers may imagine, fishing was in
stantly forgotten by the fortunate couple, and
with eager energy they set to work to search
I lOT uDIc VI tnt oOits N"'i"5 INV e'tN
water up to their waists, utterly dlsregarding
broadcloth and linen; now kneelng in the
thick mud, and now grovelling in it with their
hands, they continued their explorations until
utterly incapacitated by hunger and fatigue
from prosecuting the labor They had not
worked without reward, for the mussels were
found in heaps, having apparently been un'
disturbed for centuries, and we are creditably
informed that every fifth or sixth shell con-
tanned pearl of greater or less size. Indeed,
by the time they had rested from the search,
they had two or three pockets full of the pre-
cous gems.
For six days the spot was visited by the two
friends, both of whom, to the wonder of their
families and employees-for both are gentle
men engaged in business in this city-started
off at an early hour in company, and returned
late at night. AT the end Of that time and
about a week since, one of the parties started
for New York with nearly bushel of choice
pearls in his possession. His first application
in the city was made to a celebrated firm in

wish not home mid the battles tide,
Nor life on the briny sea.
But III settle me down at my own ireslde,
With her who is all to me-
! wish not death in the battles strife,
Nor tomb in the oceans foam,
But I'd find, when my heart beat it, last in liie
grave near my boyhood's home.
