Some time since Carl Schurz stated
in public that overtures had been
made to him by General Grant through
General ~Pleasanton, which overtures
promised Schurz certain offices and
patronage if he would support with
his influence Grants San Domingo
scheme. P~leasanton acknowledged
having written the letter to Schurz
but affirmed that it was done by
Grants direction. A long while has
elapsed since tho charge was made,
yet Grant is unusually reticent upon
the subject.

OYSTER

An observer Of the oyster saya he ia not as
stupid as he looks. He can keep his mouth
shut, and thereby defy all our arts to vile o
secret from him. When spattipg time with
the oyster comes, it is said to be sick or milky.
This appearance is due to the accumulation OF
the spat, which is, in the earlier stages Of its
development, OF q creamy consisteuce OF color.
When the spat is natural, it assumes the ap-
pearance OF the scrapings of a slate pencil; the
parent oyster then opens its shell, and q kind
Of mistiness is observable in the surrounding
water. This ia caused by the myriads Of young
oysters scattered in every direction. No sooner
are these tiny creatures free from their moth
ers, than they assume the most active state Of
life and motion, dancing and gyrating up and
down in c%oncentr1c columns, as mldgits play
in evening sunbeams. Under the lens OF
a microscope you will see how eIquisitely these
little fellows are fashioned. A pair of tiny
oyster, inclose the yet documentary organs,
while affixed to the mantle is a kind of tiny
coronet, composed of minute, hair-fike APP
pendages (cilia.) Tho violent and ceaseless
vibration ofthese living paddles serves to row
the infant oyster rapidly from the place.
Should 1t become the destiny OF one OF these
fragile beings to become a steady, well-be-
hayed oyster, it finally settles itself on some
suitable restlng-place. to which it makes itself
fast-no one ever clearly Knows how-by the
under valve or shell. The bristle-Lke pores or
ella, no longer OF any utility. disappear, and
now a permanent fixture, the baby oyster,
begins to grow. At about a fortnight old it
is not much bigger than a fair-sized pins head,
and at three months about that of q split
pea. Having attained a years growth under
favorable conditions the young oyster will
at four years growth they ar, considered
marketable.

MEDICAL JUDGMENT OF SEWING MACHINES
During the late session OF the State Medical
Society of Virginia, at Staunton, DR.. Parker
read a very interesting paper on the subject
of sewing machines and their effect on the
health of females, in. which the conclusions
were announced:
First. That fatigue Is not disease, and that
there is no reason TO conclude that the use OF
the muscles employed In machine work tor q
reasonable time is Injurious. Second. That
the machine may b. used for tour or 1ve
hours daily In q family by a lady In ordinary
health without injury. Third. That the dam
are to health in the factory is due to the
hyygIenlc conditions under which the WORK Is
done, and the natural dellcacy OF some OF the
operatives, uniting them lor long-contlnneo
labor of any kiud. Fourth. That the sewing
machine ia a great boon to womanklnd, Ia
creaslng her compensation, protecting her
sight, and in the family lessening her laoors.
