a Nissours, Psarl.--The pearl Of great
price has been, found. We have seen it !;
and. although We do not sci ourself up in the
land as ccnnoisseur in articles Of "bigotry
and vertue," yet will we make, bold to pro-
nounce said Pike county gen-5uAy. It
was bought Of Missourian by gentleman
in this city for the immense sum Of four bits
neither the buyer OF seller knowing at the
time Of the Transaction exactly what kind Of
stock they were trading in. The pearl is
about the sise Of common hasel-nut, tho
rather longer, and Of good color and lustre.
The history Of the gem, so far as w have
heard it, is that il was found by 1 little girl
while at play on the shore of the Missouri
river. in Missouri it was merely considered
IS funny thing" and passed as such into
the hands, Of the Pike who disposed Of it in
this city. We advise oil such advehtnrers
as are about starting to the new mines Of
Idaho, to halt on reaching the Missouri river
and try their luck It fishing for pearls. If
they get peck Or twof Of god ones, they
may consider that they have sufficient pile
to justify them in returning and tarryins in
the States till after the draft has been made.
But to return to our subject: the pearl above
mentioned was undoubtedly produced By q
fresh-water musc1e--our readers will remem-
Der the New Jersey pearl excitement Of a
few years ago; the pearls found there were
produced By fresh. water claims, or muscles
listers Of low degree. Abu Zeid ii Hassan
asserts that some Chinese philosophers stib.
posed that oysters got their pearls By gaping;
what then is to hinder claims and muscles
from producing themi They certainly are
capable Of gaping--in fact ours Of the Cedar
river are rather addicted to gaping. We
cannot say whether they have been gaping
long enough to get pearls, but We do know
that they gap al along the bayou even up
unto tho cutoff dam. But don't al Of you
80 out pearl hunting at once. Remember
the saying Of that man Of many proverbs,
Sancho Panza, to wit Many man has gone
