PEARLS.

Pearls are the third product of the ocean
for which regular fisheries have been es-
tablished the most important being those
in the bay of Bengal, Ceylon, and other
parts of the Indian Ocean. There the
pearl oyster is procured by divers, who
sink to the bottom, with the aid of large
stones, and remain there about thirty
seconds gathering all the shells within
reach. The works exceedingly severe, and
the men are frequently devoured by
sharks. The search for pearls always ends
at noon, when the gun is fired, and all the
boats return to the shore, in order that the
boat may be examined and cared for by
daylight. The shell fish are piled together,
and the heap is left for about ten days, by
which time the remains becomes entirely
decomposed. The shells are then easily
opened, the round pearls, which are found
in the body of the oyster, which furnish
nacre, or mother-of-peal, are cleansed and
sold by the cake
The pearls are sifted to separate the diff
ferent sizes; the smaller ones are sold by
the weight and the others singly, accord
ing to their value. The nacre and
the pearl are formed of essentially
the same material, but nacre is deposited
over the whole shell in layers, while the
of the oyster to free itself from the irrita-
ton of some foreign substance which has
penetrated within its valves. As the ami
nal is incable of ejecting any intruder,
such as an unwelcome grain of sand, it
renders it less obnoxions by depositing
around it the smooth and lustrous substance
which is SO eagerly sought by man. The
Chinese are so well acquainted with the
fact, that they force the oyster to form
pearls. by thrusting small figures of tin be-
tween the valves, and then returning the
creature to the water, whence it is fished
up in the course of a few years, and the
pearl is extracted retaining the shape of
the tin. There is but one kind of oyster
which produces pearls to any considerable
extent, although they can occasionally be
found in other species of oysters, and even
! in muscles.

Breyet Maj. Gen. G. II. Smith.

IN the Daily Journal of Jan. 10th. pus,-
lished at Little Rock, Ark, we find the
following pleasant and unprejudiced notice
OF Gen. Charles II. Smith, formerly of
Eastport in this State
1--WE learn this morning that Gen. c.
III. smith, who for the past three years
has been stationed among us, is ordered
TO New Orleans, to assume command of
the Department of Louisiana, made va
cant by the decease of Gen. Mower.
Though we feel gratified at the promotion
of worthy officer, it is with feelings of
sincere regret that we bid him adieu.
We congratulate the people of the Cres-
cent city, on the accession to not only
their number, but their social circle, of so
competent an officer and affable gentle
man. Long enough to respect him, we
may say love him, have we known him.
just Ill decisions, and courteous to all,
has he ever been, and we still have the
consolation of knowing that while in per.
son he may claim a residence in another
State. he still remains our military com.
mander.
TO the General and his accomplished
wife. we have but to say that they bear
with them our heartiest well wishes, and
we bespeak for them a stay in the Crescent
City that in ''other days" will be looked
on as one of the bright spots in life's
weary ''desert"
In the Daily Gazette of same date and
place, the following appears. Considering
the source from which it emanates, a rebel
organ Of the most radical stripe, higher
compliment, in the estimation of royal
people, could not be paid than is contained
in the following:
General Smith has been in command
here for nearly three years. As an officer
we regard him to be considerate, cool and
forbearing. We are constrained to qualify
the terms of this reference because we be-
lieve that Gen. Smith, as the u S. COM
mander of this department, permitted his
partisan bias to influence him in lending
his aid to defeat the will of the people Of
this State in their vote upon the ratification
of the present constitution of Arkansas.
Otherwise we believe Gen. Smith has con-
Quoted himself in the position he occupied
as military commander here with much
fairness and unusual consideration for the
rights and feelings of community in
which he commanded as representative
of theirfushed and giddy conquerors."

The unifcation of Germany has at
length been accomplished, and old
Frederick Barbarossa, who is said to
have waited for so many centuries for
the consummation of that event in the
depths of the Kyffhaenser Mountain,
and whose long beard, according to the
old legend, has grown through the
crack of the table on which he is seated,
may now go to his everlasting rest.
Previous to the addition of Hesse-
Darmstadt, Baden, Wurtemberg and
Bavaria, the population of the States of
the North German Confederation was
2o,oIo, ,377. This population is now in
creased by the 565,65o inhabitants Of
sse-Darmstadt living south of the
Main line; by the I,434,oZo inhabitants
of the Grand Duchy of Baden; by the
I,778,47o inhabitants of the Kingdom Of
Wurtemberg and by the 4,824,42I in
habitants of the Kingdom of Bavaria ;
so that the aggregate population of the
German Confederation, which will
henceforth be its name, will be 38,78I,-
48o inhabitants. To this population will
have to be added the 2. 500, 900 inhabi-
tants of Alsace and Lorraine, so that
Germany will henceforth have over
forty million inhabitants and France
less than thirty-six millions.

THE HORSES OF METZ.

The sufferings of the dumb animals of
Metz are thus described by a correspond
ent of the London Zelegza6H who visited
the city after its fall:
Wandering round the Publications,
! came upon place that will give you
some idea of the sufferings that the poor
horses had to go through. Immediately
in front of the Porte des Allemandes is
barrack which was occupied by the
Garde Mobile. The square was on one
side studded with trees, and to each of
these were attached three, and some
times four, of the most Wretched horses
you can well imagine. The living num-
bered one hundred and twenty; the dead
fifty-four; the latter had died during the
night. So emaciated were the poor
creatures, and so weak, that they could
not eat; they were past feeding, and on
ly awaited the moment when they were
to sink down and die where they were
bound. Immediately in rear of these
animals, as if in mockery of their dumb
sufferings, was established line of bak-
ing ovens, for the employment of which
these unfortunates had dragged in the
flour. The poor creatures had received
only two handfuls of oats per diem for
the last ten days.
Gas / assembled the road which leads
to the fort, I stopped to gaze upon a
spectacle too shocking to be passed by
unnoticed. To the left of the road were
the remains of an orchard, which had
been turned into a slaughter-house. In
little heaps everywhere lay the legs and
heads of slaughtered horses hanging
to the branch of a tree was the carcase
of horse. evidently placed there for
the purpose of being cut up into rations.
The ground, trampled and CORY, was
strewed with entrails and offal while,
attached to several trees, and lying
where they had been tied, were the
bodies of seven dead horses. A French
soldier passing afforded the opportunity
of asking for an explanation. Ma Jof Z
that was our butchers shop, and pretty
dear the meat was latterly, can assure
you.
