CONTINUED TROUBLES on THE TEXAN From
TIER.-The Brownsville Flag, of the I7th
ult., takes the following despondent view
of the state Of affairs on the frontier:
The condition Of the Rio Grande frontier
is no better than it was in December, and
there is little prospect of any immediate
improvement. True there are four COM
panies of U. S. cavalry between Browns
vile and Rio Cyanide City, commanded by
braYe aud eflis9Bt officers, rendering it un-
safe for outlaHsBto cross in large bodies
Such, however, is not the kind of warfare
that Cortinas has chosen to adopt. He
has sworn in his wrath that since he can
not enlarge the dominions of the serpent
clutching eagle by removing the bounda-
ries of Mexico eastward, he will not allow
Americans TO enjoy any privileges in the
valley Of the Rio Grande 1t is very easy
for bis guerrilla bands to carry his threats
into execution Such is the nature of the
country that no military force is sufficient
to prevent these guerrilla incursions across
the river, and Americans will not be safe
on their ranches until other steps are taken
for their security. A fact connected with
these valley ranches, not generally known
in the interior States, is that field un-
titled for two seasons becomes a chaparel
too dense to be penetrated in any way save
by grubber. 1t cannot be plowcd, and
the original labor Of preparing it for the
pillow has to be done over, so that the labor
OF years is all lost by two years neglect.

A PEARL FROM WASHINGTON TERRIroRY. -
Mr.. Daniel S. Howard, of the firm Of Rem
ton & Howard, lumber dealers, of this city,
showed us yesterday pearl from on oyster
taken at Port Orchard, in Puget Sound,
Washington Territory. The pearl is near
ly round, Of an opaque white color, with
translucent spots A jeweller of this city,
who has examined it, says that if the
opaque white should become translucent.
as sometimes happens with such pearls, it
would be worth $40 1t is little over an
eighth of all inch in diameter. 1t was
found by an Indian, who gave it to the
mate of the barque NdhHmkeog, who bro't
it to this city. Accompanying the pearl
were the shells Of the "Oyster" in which it
was found, but the shells looked rather like
those Of a very large clam. They are about
seven inches across, and eight inches long,
incliuiug to be pear-shaped, the narrowest
part being at the hinge The shells are
thick and heavy, rough and gray outside,
and smooth and white inside, except a pur-
plish tinge near the hinge. The animal
must have been as large as the hand Of q
boy at twelve years, or larger. The meat
was red in color. The oyster, or clam, was
found in water twelve feet deep at low
tide.-Aha California, June 23d

his sons found the body Of Northern In,

ceased had been stabbed in breast in sew.
eral places. The only clothing on the
woman was white chemise The murder
had evidently been of very recent date, as
the body was not offensive. The body was
decently buried by the young men. We
are, as yet, unable to discover who were
the perpetrators Of this murder But il
only adds to the list Of crimes which is sur,

Coin For every mile that we leave the
surface of the earth temperature falls five
degrees. Atforty-fve miles distance from
the globe we get beyond the atmosphere
and enter, strickly speaking, into the "
gions of space, where temperature IS 225
below zero, and here cold reigus in all its
power. Some idea of this intense cold may
be formed by stating that the greatest cold
observed from the Arctic Circle is from 40
to GO degrees below zero, and here many
surprising effects are produced. In the
chemical laboratory, the greatest cold that
we can produce is about $50 degrees below
zero. At this temperature, carbonic acid
becomes a solid substance like snow. II
touched, it produces just the same effect or
the skin as a red hot cinder; it blisters the
fingers like burn. Quicksilver or mercu
ry freezes at 40 degrees below zero thai
is, 70 degrees below the temperature al
which water freezes.
The solid mercury may then be treated
as other metals, hammered into sheets, OIL
made into spoons; such spoons would, how
ever, melt in water as warm as ice 1t j.

that We are acquainted with wonld becomt
solid If exposed to the cold of the regions
of space. The gas we light our streets
With, would appear like wax; oil would b,
in reality "as a rock" pure spirit, whicl
we have never yet solidifed would appeal
like block of transparent crystal; hydro
gen gas would become quite solid, and re
semble metal; we should be able to turl
butter in lathe like piece of ivory; ant
fragrant odors of flowers would have to b.
made hot before they would yield per

A SALE AT THE DEAD LETTER OFFIcE.-'
The Washington Star of recent date
contains the following account Of q sale Of
unclaimed articles from letters at the Dead
Letter Office:
A stranger in the city would have been
puzzled to account for the furious eager
ness displayed by the crowd struggling to
get at McGuire'S auction room The fair
sex were just as crazy as the men, and not
few ladies braved the mud and rain, and
jostled at the door for admission in right
good earnest. The attraction was the
great " Dead Letter Office Sale y advef.
tised for some weeks TO take place on this
night.
1t was announced that the catalogue
consisted of articles accumulated in the
Dead Letter Office since 1851, (the De
partment having used every effort to find
the proper owners, and being unable to do
SOY and they would now be sold for the
postage; the proceeds, if any, after paying
charges, to be deposited in the United
States Treasury, subject to order, should
the proper owners hereafter be found. The
articles came from the post effice in sealed
packages, and no oportnnity having thus
been obtained Of getting peep Of exam
alton, the bidding was somewhat in the
dark, but generally spirited. The buyers
naturally supposed that the articles thus
sent by mail as pledges of affection must
be about the correct thing in point Of
value. m

Our accounts from Japan, represent affairs
there in the most unsettled state the
hands of the executive seem weakly, and
totally unable to repress the different ele.

all their police officers doubled, and foreign
officials are recommended to coDfne them

news, it was stated that m attempt had
been made to slay the Regent by the
Prince Of Meto's men; it is probable thai
this may be the commencement Of war Of
succession-the Prince of Meto being q
pretender to the Tycoon's offce-or fued

Nothing more was known Of the the
character Of the "ultimatum submitted
by the allies to the Chinese authorities ;
but it must have been of defiant charac.
ter, as the matter seemed now to be placed
in the hands Of the military and naval
commanders.
BY the middle of May, the whole Of the
expeditionary force was expected to have
sailed from Hongkong for the North. A
proportion had already been removed to
Chusan That island, the largest and
healthiest in the Chusnn Archipelago, had
been quietly occupied by the allies. The
Chinese inhabitants received their invaders
with pleasure, as they anticipated only To-
cal benefit from their expenditures The
most favorable part Of the island has been
yielded up to the French by the British.
1t was stated that Sangolinsin was con-
tinung his preparations to resist the allies,
not merely along the shores of the Gulf of
Pechele, but at Tientszin.
AFFAIRS AT CANTON, Ere AT Canton
and its vicinity, rebclious disturbances con
tinued, but the Imperialsts were suppress
in them by force, and, some said, by the

be reviving.
AT all the other ports, matters remained
tranquil, and no apprehension seemed to be
entertained by the foreign residents Of any
danger resulting from the present hostile
relations ofthe allies with the Chinese Gov
crnment.
MATTERS AT SHlEGHAE. - Further &c
counts of rebel movements had been receiv-
