the jewely business on Broadway, and on ex-
animation of the pearls, they were pronounced
to be of the first quality and of large value
The firm Immediately advanced $4,000 upon
the gems, and took them into their keeping
giving a receipt for them by the measure.
The owner of the pearls drew the money in
gold, and depositing it in his carpet bag, start
ed for home on the Hudson River Road. As
he landed on this side he was met by an old
friend, who slapping him on the back, said in
familiar tone "Ah, old boy, how are you
traveling on your muscle, eh?" The pearl
finder started and turned pale. Assocating
the remark at once with the discovery Of the
mussels, and without moments thought he
exclaimed: "Good God how did you find it
out? Does any one else know about it but
you?' "Why, mol" replied the bewdered
friend. "Then step in here to the Stanwix,' y
was the reoinder, "and I'll make it worth
your while to keep quiet"
Not knowing what to make out of such
strange conduct, and almost doubling the SAN
\ ity Of his friend, the person who had accosted
the lucky fisherman accompanied him to the
Stanwix, where, in private room, he soon
received an explanation, much to his own sat
isfaction; and without letting out the fact of
his own previous ignorance Of the discovery
of the pearls. This third party has since been
prosecuting the search, and has obtained pro-
baby sl5, 900 to $40, 900 worth of the pre-
cious stones.

JoHN DEAN GETTING UNEAsY.-The famous
coachman, who ran away with Miss Mariana
Petronella Boxer few months since, has
been lost sight Of completely, in consequence
of more recent excitements. The last the pub
lie heard Of him, was that he had gone down
somewhere in the country to complete his ed
ucation, under the stipulation not to try to see
his wife for twelvemonth. Mrs. Dean, mean
while, so the New York Sunday Times says,
remained at officer Berthol's house. John,
however, not being Of studious turn Of mind,
it is represented, found it rather dull studying
grammar down among the Long Islanders, and
sighed to return. So he took run up to the
city and suddenly appeared to the fair and
constant lady love. The Courier adds: "She
being true-hcarted and high.minded lady,
was rather shocked by her husbands lack Of
honor in not keeping his parole. She positive
ly refused to have anything to say to him, and
commanded him to return and keep his en-
gagement, or she would never see him again.
He went, and unwingly; and if he should
have the stupidity to break his word again, he
will have to go back to his old occupation as a
gentleman's coachman, and give up all hopes
of being the husband of tender hearted and
high-mnded lady, such as the infatuated Pet
ronella has thus far proved herself"

EXPERIMENT WITH RATTLEsNAKEs-AN New
DIscovERY.-We understand, says the San
Francisco Globe, that DR.. Danzweert, the
chemist, has discovered a sure antidote for the
poison of rattlesnake, the value of which he
demonstrated yesterday, by permitting one of
those reptiles to bite him. The experiment,
we are informed, took place at l o'clock, P. NJ,
in the presence of number of medical gentle
men and others. The first snake that he
handled was quite docile, manifesting no dis
position to bite. He then took another snake
from the cage and handled it very roughly,
when the reptile plunged its poisonous fangs
into his hand, to the CONSERVATION of many be-
holders, and without making any external APP
plication to the wound, awaited the result,
which it would seem has proved entirely salts
factory, as the Doctor suffers no Inconvenience
from the bite.

PoKER.-A frontier court being in session,
the Judges on the bench, and the case Of Smith
rs. Brown being called up
"All ready" shouts the counsel for the de-
fendant, but the counsel for the plaintiff does
not respond.
"Who's for the PLAINTIFF" inquired the
judge somewhat impatienty.
May please the court, - said rising men,
Der, "Pipkins is for the plaintiff, but left him
just now over at the tavern playing game Of
poker. He's got the thing set to ring in cold
deck, in which case he will deal for himself
four aces and his opponent four queens so
that your honor will perceive he must raise the
persimmons."
The look of impatience vanished from the
face of his honor at once, and an expression
more of sorrow than anger took its place. AT
length he said, with sigh,
"Dear me, that's too bad. 1t happens at a
very unfortunate time, as am very anxious
to get on with these cases."
"Bnl," said he, "you understand poker
about as well as Pipkins. Suppose you &C
over and play his hand"

We make the following extracts from one of Brig

THE "IsorHERMAL QUESTION"

"The South" in re.opening its batteries upon Gov.
Walker selects for assault that position which ia sus,
tanned by the strongest array of precedents and au
thorities II thus denounced him q few days since
and although the country has grown weary of the Kan
cas- mbroglio, yet mus trespass upon the patience
of our readers to the extent of one more EDITORIAL
They have declared It to be impossible for Kansas
10 be slave State. Nature, they cay, has nsupe.
rabe barrier in the path of slavery extension in that
direction And to crown the fabric of msrepresenta-
toa they have even proclaimed that our friends in
the territory have given up the question and quietly
surrendered it into the hands OF the Aboli,ionsts.
What has been the effect Of such course the part
of certain Southern journals we are unable to estimate
Whether they have succeeded in making lodgment
in the public mind, and diminished the interest of the
Southern people in the destiny OF Kansas, we cannot
determine with any degree Of certainty. In the far
ther South where almost perfect unanimty OF feel
ing and sentiment prevails concerning the infamous
conduct of Gov WALKER, the people seem to be tuiy
aroused to the Importance Of the impending struggle
and disposed to give every encouragement to the
slavery cause ia Kansas. But whatever may be the
effect produced by these unworthy arguments oil
WALKERS apologsts, we do not despair OF seeing
their influence counteraoted.
No nconsidersble portion OF "the. Infamous conduct
of Gov. Walker" consists in his having maintained
the "Isotherma" doctrine far slavery in Kansas
is concerned.
