PEARLS IN THE GULF OF OALIFoRNLA-
The revenue returns for 1869 show that the
catch of pearls and shell for the past year
on the Gulf coast of the territory granted
to the 'Lower California Company"
amounted to the large sum Of $4,000
This, of course. is the valuation of the
pearls given by the divers and spectators,
and is consequently very much below the
actual value of the catch.
A pearl is sold frequently for $50, which,
resold at Panama, at $500, brings $1,000 in
Paris, and in many cases much greater
profits have been made on very fine gems.
Not one-half the catch is ever reported
to the government, and the yield of the
Gulf for 1869 may be safely estimated at
$500, 600 in gold.

TIE extraordinary interest felt by the
Empress Eugenie in everything connected
with Marie Antoinette is well known, and
is perhaps only paralleled by the interest
XVI took in the history of Charles L.
A commemorative service was celebrated
on Friday, the Dist of January, very prob
ably al the instance of the Empress, IN the
chapel of the Tuileries.
The number twenty-one was curiously
linked with the fate ofthe French monarch.
On April 81, 1850, he was married; on June
81, in the same year, q magnificent fete In
in honor of his nuptials took place at Paris,
in the course of which, by the fall of some
woodwork, a number of spectators were
killed. On the 21st of January, 1871, there
was a famous tete at the Hotel de Vile to
celebrate the birth of the Dauphin; on the
21st of June, 1893, the flight to VerenneE
began, and on the 21st Of January, 1790, he
was put to death, in conformity with the
report of the Committee of Twezty-one.

lated this.1 When Speycr got back to the gold
room he found great excitement, and particl-
pating in it himself, he bought all the way to
lGO, being one Of those kind of men, said FISK,
that he believed if gold rose to lG0 in three
minutes, that it would so to 800 in an hour.
While this was going on in New York the wit
nesses state that they learned that Secretary
Boutwell, was closcted with President Grantln
Washington al 1890 A. NJ, and about l:3O over
came an order from the Secretary to General
Butterfield to sell four millions of government
gold The first they knew Of this was when
this man Speyer came into the back office OF
Heath & Co., hatless and with his shirt collar
torn of, shouting in frenzy of excitement,
"Men Gott, Mein Gott, the whole thing isplay-
out. Boutwell, has sold four millions, and l
gots fifty millions at COZ
THE sMAslI-UP.
The witnesses detail how they left the street
BY the back door, fearing violence In the eX-
element, and got up town, where Fisk ut once
saw Corbin for an explanation OF this sudden
action of the government, addressing him
thus: {" This Is id pretty Job your have set
"What situation are you in?" inquired Cor
bin.
Fisk answered.: "We can't tell yet. We may
all be ruined; we don't know"
Mr.. Corbn answered: "Thcre must be some
Boutwell, must have sold gold contrary to
Grants orders"
Later in the evening Of the same day, at
another interview, Corbin said nc and his wife
would 90 at once to Washington and have the
sale of gold withdrawn. Mrs. Corbin said she
had received letter from Mrs. Grant saying
that she wished ''the speculation was over, as
it made her husband nervous"
This was the last that Gould and Fisk saw OF
Corbin. Jay Could testifles that Assistant
Treasurer Butterfeld was ID the speculation,
and that he (Gould) was carrying gold for him
at the time.
At the close of Fsk's statement, the chair
man Of the committee said: ..Are you able to
state of your own knowledge if any govern
ment official was engaged In this transactions"
Fisk answered 81 am under oath, and have
stated exactly to the committee what conncc-
ton any government official had with 1t. |
have stated to you the precise offices in which
Grant figured, and understood it on the IN.
formation derived from Mr.. and Mrs. Corbin." F."
In concluding, Mr.. Fisk asked the commit
tee to summon corbin, Mrs. Corbin and Mrs.
Grant, and submitted that the Erie Railroad,
New York Central and Atlantic, and Great
Western were doing q very poor business,
owing to the fall in prices caused by the de-
cline in god-facts, they maintain, that Justify
their position last spring on this financial ques-
tion.
