Pacific Coast Pearl Fisheries.

A writer in the Overland Monthly says :
Pearl-fshing is still carried on in the
Gulf of California, with varying success.
Twas informed by German merchant
of this place. who is engaged in purchas-
ing the pearls for the European market,
that the value of the yield for the year
1868 amounted to $4,000. To procure
the oyster, the primitive mode of diving
by the native Mexican Indians is still
used. Doubtless a greater success would
attend the use of the diving or dredging
apparatus, either of which might be
used in deeper water than could be
reached by the ordinary method of div
ing. The shell which produces the rich
purple dye that was so much sought
after by the ancient Mexicans for color
ing their fabrics is found clinging to the
rocks in many localities on this coas t
and l also found it in the island of Sc
corro, which is situated about 26O miles
west of Cape Corrientes. have seen
the Indians collecting this dye in the
Bay of Banderas, below San Bias, from
the shells as they clung to the rocks.
After the shell is detached from the
rock, the substance is elected by the ami
NAL and caught in. small cups by the
collector. This beautiful purple dye is
held in high estimation by the Zapotaco
Indians of Tehuantepec, for coloring cot
ton cloth of there own manufacture
Six yards of their cotton fabric-which
is woven on a small native hand loom
and is just enough for single skirt for q
woman-sells, when tinted with this
peculiar dye, for from ten to thirty dol
lars"

Things to be Remembered.

Edward Everett became overheated
in testifying in a court room, went to
Faneuil Hall, which was cold, sat in a
draught of air until his turn came to
speak. but my hands and feet were
ice, my lungs ON fire. In this condition
l had to spend three hours in the court
room" He died in less than week
from thus checking the perspiration. 1t
was enough to kill any man.
Professor Mitchell, while in state of
perspiration in yellow fever, the certain
sign of recovery, left his bed, went into
another room, became chilled in mo-
ment, and died the same night.
If, while perspiring or warmer than
usual from exercise, or in heated room,
there is sudden exposure to chill air
or raw, damp atmosphere, or a draught,
whether at window or door, or street
corner, the inevitable result is q violent
and instantaneous closing of the pores
of the skin, by which the waste and
impure matter, which was making its
way out of the system, is compelled to
seek an exit through some weaker part.
To illustrate A lady was about getting
into small boat to cross the Delaware,
but wishing first to get her an orange,
she ran to the bank of the river, and on
return to the boat found herself much
heated, for it was summer but there
was a little wind ON the water and her
clothes soon felt cold, which produced a
cold which settled on her lungs, and
within the year she died of consump-
ton.
A Boston ship owner, while ON the
deck of one of his vessels, thought he
would lend hand in some emergency
and pulled off his coat, worked with a
will until he perspired freely, when he
sat down to rest a while, enjoying the
delicious breeze from the sea. On at
tempting to rise he found himself una
BILE, and was so stiff in his joints that he
had to be carried home and put to bed
which he did not leave until the end Of
two months, when he was barely able
to hobble down to the wharf on crutches
Mulititudes of wemen lose health
every year, in one or more ways by
busying themselves in a warm kitchen
until weary, and then throwing them,
selves ON bed or sofa without covering
and perhaps changing the dress for {
common one, as soon as they enter the
house after shopping. The rule should
be invariably to go at once into a warn
room, and keep on all the clothing fol-
at least ten minntes, until the forehead
is perfectly dry. In all weather, if yor
have to walk or ride on an occasion, dc
! the riding first.-Dr. Hail.

Force of Imagination.

An esteemed friend of ours heard
much of the medical properties of the
waters of certain spring some distance
from where she resided. She had read
pamphlet that enumerated many
diseases, from which she recognized at
least half dozen with which she was
afflicted. To her great joy she was told
that her son had to call at the very
town where the spring was located, and
a five-gallon keg and a strict injunction
were laid upon him to bring back some
of the water.
The keg was put in the wagon, and
slipping under the seat was quite over
looked. The business was urgent, and
took some time to perform it, and the
water was quite forgotten. He had got
near home in the evening, when feeling
down under the seat for something, his
hand struck the keg. To go back was
not to be thought of, and to admit his
stupidity was impossible. He therefore
drew up his horse by the side of a wall,
near which was the old sweep well from
which the family had drank for CEN
tury, and filling the keg went home.
The first question was:
did you get that water!"
"Yes," said he; but darned if 1 see
any difference in it from any other
water" And he brought in the keg.
A cup was handed the invalid, who
drank with infinite relish, and said she
was surprised at her sons not seeing q
difference. There was undoubtedly a
medical taste about it, and it dried up
as other water did, which she had always
heard of mineral water. Her son hoped
it would do her good, and by the time
the keg was exhausted she was ready to
give a certificate of the value of the
water, it having relieved her of all hel
ails.

The lark is singing gayly in the meadow,
The sun is rising Ger the distant hills,
But she Is gone, the music of whose talking
Was sweeter than the tones of summer fills.
Sometimes the bluebells blooming in the forest
And think of her blue eyes;
Sometimes seem to hear the rustic of her gar
ments--
Tis but the winds low sghs
| see the sunbeams trail along the orchard,
And fall. in thought, to tangling up her hair;
And, sometimes, round the sinless lips OF childhood,
Breaks forth smile such as she used to wear.
But never any pleasant thing around, above us,
Seems to me like herlove-
Moro lofty than the skies that bend and brighten
DER US,
More constant thai. the dove.
She walks no more beside me in the morning,
She meets not on any summer eve;
But once, at night, heard low voice calling,
"Oh, faithful friend thou hast not long to grieve "
Next year. when arks singing gayly In the meadow
| shall not hear their tone
But She in the dim, faroH country of the stranger,
viii walk more alone.

A farmer who went to Texas to buy
a farm was greatly prejudiced against
the country he thought to settle in, from
the fact that doctor whom he called
to attend him, when he was seized with
fever, began trying on his clothes i'm
mediately after writing a prescription.
The fact that while the doctor was try
ing on his coat, the chambermaid was
examining his handkerchiefs, and the
porter was struggling with his boots,
lent wings to his imagination, and
doubtless had an influence in regard to
his speedy exit from the State.

The Japanese Ambassadors exhibited
a specimen of heathen charity by giving
$4,000 while in Chicago for the benefit
of sufferers from the fire. This kind of
charity appears to be substantially the
same as the Christian article.

For every flower in others pathway strewn,
Cnnfers its fragrant beauty on our own.

IT seems that We are not alone i'll saying
thatthe recent Denlocraticro ut in this Con.
gressional District was one of the results of
the shameful acts Of the last Legislature
The AUdJdnche observes
Mr. Thornburgh and the republican or
gans in East Tennessee made a powerful
impression on the people of the Second
District by exposing the political proscrip
ton deliberately coined into solemn ac
of legislation at Nashville. And, although
there is an overwhelming conservative ma
iority against him, he was elected.
The Knoxville district was regarded the
perfection of partisan Democratic wisdom
but vengeance turned upon the wrong
is no less a wrong because inflicted on an
opponent and the currents of sympathy
once set in their course, submerge what
ever comes in contact with them. Let Il:
have no more policies of revenge in lands
blessed by the teachings of Christianity
Vengeance is mine," saith the Lord Il
was not designed for mortals.

4 MISTAKE,

We are personally acquainted with the
editorsof the Washington Repu6licdnand
know they would not Intentionally mis-
represent fact. We see in its issue of the
18th this statement
1t was only two weeks ago that Republican
of this city was shot through the arm and that a
dozen bullets grazed his head, because, On the
stump in Tennessee. he spoke in favor of the
reelection O, Gen. Grant and against Mr.. Gree
ley. rHH#E ffffH f" E4ks
Now such an assault may have been
committed, but if so, we never heard of it,
Horace Maynard spoke fearlessly and
bluntly in defence of Grant, but aside from
rude Interruptions IL one or two counties
he was heard everywhere with respect.
There are some two or three countiesin the
State where Republican speakers have
been threatened with violence and where
theywere actuallyin danger. Butthe above

OUR FACTS ABOUT EAST TENNESSEE.

We propose now, that the election is
over, to renew each week our East Ten
nessee articles. This is a work in which
our readers are even more interested than
we are. We now urge upon them to send
us information about their sections. Every
cove, every vally, every district and every
county affords rich material for such an
article. Send us your facts plainly, fairly
and impartially stated and we will shape
them for publication if the writers do not
care to do so. We Ito not want anything
but the truth. We do not want to deceive
any one. We DO not want to exagerate
our advantages. They are attractive
enough plainly told. We would rather
have immigrants come here and find our
country better than represented, than to
have them come and be disappointed.
Send us articles and we will be glad to
publish them.

WE MAY DO Something.

Elsewhere we refer to the fact that in
1863, the people Of Boston responded lib.
orally to the appeals of Rev. n. G.. Taylor
and sent to the East Tennessee Refugee
Association large contributions for oul
destitute and needy people.
We do not know that any money contri-
button is needed from Knoxville to relieve
what little suffering seems to have followed
the late fire, but we can at least take some
action as a people to show that we sympa-
thize with the city in its great misfortanes
and that we gratefully rcmemb Der the help
elsewhere referred to.

WHAT HARDNESS OF HEART,


The Louisville Courier JownaLin speak
ing the Boston fire refers tothe misery in
fiicted upon the South during the war and
to the lack of sympathy expressed in the
North, and says: 81
Though the city has been the dwelling place
of so much bitterness toward the South, there
were many there, and many now among the
sufferers of this fire, who entertained very diff
ferent feelings.
We cannot see the propriety or taste of
raking up these war passions in such an
hour. But it is cruelty unjust to Boston,
as the people of East Tennessee will testi-
fly. When the Union people of this Sec
ton were driven as refugees to the Ohio
by the hardships of war, the people of Bos-
ton were first and most liberal to re-
spond to their wants When the
gifted Taylor with an eloquence that
charmed even Edward Everett and drew
from him the highest praise, pictured to
the people of that good city the misery of
East Tennesseeans, they gave with lib
eral hand, and how gratefully that aid was
received here our people well remember.
But even if Boston had not then shown
how generous and noble her people were,
we can. not understand the hardness of
heart that now, in the hour of her misfor-
tune, would call her to the bar of Judgment
grace to Southern journalism and we hope
will find encouragement nowhere outside
or that Office. ,-. r.ra-- --a-. a.rrrF

A sUPREMELY foolish story has been
published in the Atlanta Herald and found
its way into several other journals, to the
effect that Thomas G.. Boyd, whose disap-
pearance from Sweetwater under unenvi-
able circumstances, we noticed some time
ago, was really murdered, In the follow
ing paragraph found in the HeraLd's arti-
Gle, we heartily know whether to smile at
its gullability or to look with contempt on
its mean spirit:
The opinions of the unprejudiced is, that he
was murdered, not only for his money, but for
the purpose of gratifying some feelings of per-
sonal hatred-the result of an antagonism of
feeling during the late war-Captain Boyd be-
ing in the rebel service.

Now the writer of the above article is
either fool or believes he has fools for
readers. 1t is time such nonsense ceased,
for it is an advertisement of the ignorance
of the community in which the paper is
published that we should think they
would not care to have widely circulated,
