sphere, as large as a medium size marble. yery
brilliant, and its undonbted merchan,able yalne
here is three thousand dollars. In Europe,
where connoisseurs in pearls are more numer-
GUS than here, II is believed that its value
would be considerably larger. Our informant
further stated, that one hundred dollars each
have been paid for a considerable number of
the pearls of much smaller size, which have
found in the Notch Brook of Patterson.
Although the above is the truth in reference
to The recently discovered Pearls fishery Of
Passaic County, New Jersey, we fear that the
fishing for pearls in that locality will not. as
general thing, be profitable business. Il
VIII cost more than it comes TO: Such has
been the case in other localities IN this State
and in Canada, in streams containing consid<
cradle quantity of lime, OF which are chiefly
fed by hard springs, and in which the muscle
pearl is alone found. A writer in the Montreal
Commercial Advertiser in speaking of the Notch
Brook Pearl Fishery Of New Jersey, says:
We have seen pearl fishing made quite a
business of in Canada, but il is not profitable
one; thousands OF muscles may be opened
'''""N' h"uihS oHC PSdti HOTtU having, anu
again, first may contain one as big as pea
Large pearls are rare everywhere. The Cey4
Ion fishery, the finest known in the world, pros
duces comparatively few large specimens. In
sorting the result Of fthing, sieve consisting
of ten saucers pierced with holes of different
sizes is used. The upper one retains those
pearls which exceed the size of pepper Corn.
On late trial, seventeen thousand oysters we've
found 10 contain three-quarters Of pound Of
pearls; of this quantity the frs and second
saucers contai ned only twenty, of which only
two were perfect in shape and color, the re-
mainder were deformed, discolored or rugged"
Should the pearl fishers Of New Jersey, in
the end, come TO the same conclusion as those
Of Canada ; should the streams Of Passaic
county soon be fshed dry of their pearls, while
We shall regret ii for the fishers sake, we have
one consolation TO Offer. 1t is expected that if
England carry through the work she has COM
menced in China, and our administration do lis
duty in the same qnarter, that the Flowery
Empire will open its sealed gates to the world.
When the gates are opened, therefore, the
fishes of Notch Brook can also enter in, and
learn Of the Chinese how 10 make PEARLS
Pearls grow in muscles by the deposiiions Of
the enamel of the shell around some irritating
nucleus. The Chinese have a way of gather
ing the muscles, supplying this irritating nu-
cleus, and planting them again, and thus ma
king the muscles grow themselves an artificial
pearl, Yhether they will OF not. Five thousand
families in the villages of Chungkwan and
Sian-chang ngan live by making pearls in this
way. If China be opened, why may not the
experienced pearl fishers Of Notch Brook do

THE NEW JERSEY PEARL FISHERY.

The dark uniathomed caves OF ocear bear,
But who in Jersey brooks could hope to find
A Pearl to rival oceans gems so rare!
No one, yet New Jersey, notwithstanding
her smallness, appears TO be still in state of
discovery, and the latest discovery by an enter
prising agriculturist is, that little Jersey, con-
chologically speaking, is a little Mother of
Pearl. In fact her very muscle is Pearl-bril-
liant Pearl, rvalling the far-amed Pearl of
Ceylon Although Jerusalem are far advanced
in civilization, and by no means addicted to
cannabalism, it was by eating some of this
muscle of his native state, that an honest Jer
sey farmer discovered the precious Pearl there
of. He had the muscle for his breakfast 1t
was large fine muscle, and he put il into his
mouth with gusio. At the first bite his iheeih
struck against something hard, when he opened
his mouth with vexaiion, and 10 out iherefrom
dropped great Pearl Pearl as big as the
largest size marble But alas, the lusture of
the Pearl was dim, for it was cooked, and he
sighed and regretted that he had not eaten the
muscle of his native State raw. If lie had
done so the precious mouthful, which he did
not swallow, would have been worth TO him
about twenty-five thousand dollars. So runs
the story of the late discovery of Pearls in the
muscle shells of the Notch Brook near Patter-
son, New Jersey. Great excitement in New
Jersey followed, and the surrounding United
States was astonished. In the meantime, Notch
Brook near Patterson has been scraped high
and low Cor muscles, and the Patterson Guardian
for the last two or three weeks has contained
marvellous accounts of the Pearls found and
the large prices obtained for them, which have
been copied extensively in the papers of the
Union and Canada. We copied several OF them
in the Courier and Enquirer, particularly one
which stated that for one Of the Pearls found
by person residing near The brook. the sum
of one thousand dollars had been paid. Those
accounts have been considered by many to be
very much exaggerated, and we confess that
we were among those Of that opinion. To
discover the truth, we called on the well-known
firm of jewellers, Messrs. TIFFANY & Co., one
of the partners Of which informed us that the
accounts were not exaggerated, and that the
particular one, which we have above mentioned,
was not exaggerated enough, for that more
than Thousand dollars was paid for the Pearl
referred to. Our information did more, he
showed US the largest Pearl yet found in the

THE WORLD.
The Daily, Tri-DniIy and Semi-Occnsiounf
Todd.

Inc Dnty, Iri-DaIIy and Semi-Occnsional
Todd.
This spirited and often spicy little issue is
circulated 10 greater or less extent in every
city and town throughout the civilized world.
In many of the more densely populated locali-
ties, there can hardly be found single indiud-
ual who has attained a manly age (l6) who does
not feel unable to commence the day without
first pouring over the contents Of his Daily
Morning Todd. The circulation of its several
issues is said u be more than twenty times that
OF any other daily extant, not excepting the no
torious aud egotistical New York Herald, which
ii also excels in its endeavors to merit the un-
enviabe reputation of the Satanic Press. 1t
was originally published in the dominion of
France, but its savory items, the pungency Of
its contributors, the powerful and exciting tone
of its editorials, and, above all, the fascinating
garb in which it airayed all kinds Of wicked
ness and vice, soon created for it demand for
which single establishment was found to be
nadeduae. Competitors soon sprahg up in
tha, country, and imitators in this, assuming
various titles for their productions snch as "Ths
Smile, "''rhe Cocktail, 1.-THE CobbIer," &c.,
but all employing the same general agent, and
The American Todd contains all the incite-
ment to immortality and crime, withou, the oily,
insidious blandness for which IT'S foreign pro-
genior is proverbial. 1t is said, however, that
the art Of counterfeiting the heading and other
wise initiating the original has attained so near
perfection, that it is almost impossible 70 dis
lineuish between the French and the native
composition.
The DAILY MORNING ToDD is thought by
those who have taken it for any considerable
length Of time, 10 he an indispensable preface
10 breakfast. Indeed, such is its stimulating
influence upon the system, through the brain,
that many actually prefer it TO abreakfast This
edition is patronized mostly by middle aged
and elderly persons who have been accustomed
to daily discussion of lis contents from their
youth, but whose mature judgement and defer
ence to public opinion restrained them from be-
ing influenced by its temptations to evil.
THE TRI-DAmx ToDD is an ardent advocate
for the degradation of mankind. It instils
poisons, pleasantly disguised like sugar-coated
pills, into the minds of unsuspeciing youth by
whom every sentiment it expresses is taken for
granted and swallowed with avidity. It's subtle
but overpowering arguments in favor of Sab
bath-brcaking, rioting and midnight debauch-
cry, tell with staggering effect upon the duPes
Of lis hypocrisy.
1t is no; surprising that men Of sense should
be desirous of surpressing the unlimited dis
tribulion OF this dangerous disiurber OF the
public peace, but il is a wonder that those
who seem most attached to il, are the most
Jealous and unceasing in the endeavors to "put
it down" Let us hope they may soon succeed
in getting il down.

The letter also reports that, in consc-
quence of immense frauds which had
been perpetrated by the judges in several
Of the Democratic precincts, the Governor
and Secretary had thrown out the votes
Of two whole counties.
1t is related that in Marshall County
the judges and clerks sat in the second
story Of the house, and received tickets
through hole in the floor just large G.
nough for mans hand to pass through
OF course the judges could not see the
person offering to vote, and one man could
vote fifty times If he chose! by this
plan the judges and clerks could could
srear ha. they dad not see any illegal 10
ting. Marshall is back county, on the
Nebraska line, where a sheriff, who was
recently ordered to summon thirty-six
frceholden rs grand jurors, reported that
there were not thirty-six inhabitants in
the county! Yet Democratic majority
Of four hundred was returned from this
county. The vote was thrown out.
