PEARLS AND PEARL FISHING.

In connection with the sailing of Capt.
Clark, of New London, Conn, for the
Society Islands, to engage i'll the pearl fish
cry, the Telegram of that city gives sketch
OF his experience in that business, and a
description of the manner i'll which it is
carried on. Capt. Clark was the first per-
son who ever successfully prosecuted the
business of pearl fishing by submarins div
ing in armor. lie made his first expert
ment about twelve years since ON the coast
Of South America, and, his venture prov
ing successful, has followed the business
ever since, either in South American wat
ers or in the Gulf of California. lie has
heretofore found the richest pearls on the
coast of Ecuador. Last year he worked
on the coast of California, and realized
from the sale of the shells (Which are made
into knife handles, paper cutters, &c $50,
COO and from the sale of the pearls, $685.
OAn Last seasons operations having
about exhausted the supply in this region,
he has determined to seek out new field,
and has selected the Society Islands. Six
men are required to operate each suit OF
armor with which the diver is fitted. d." The
fishery" says the Telegram, g is carried on
from small boats, which are anchored in
what is deemed to be promising locality,
aud from which the diver descends. He
takes with him basket which will hold
about three pecks of oys ers, and when this
is filed, makes a signal on the life line,
which is attached to his body. Upon this
signal the full basket is hoisted into the
boat and an empty basket sent down. The
diver ordinarily remains under water from
four to five hours, but Capt. Clark informs
us that in shoal water he has worked ten
hours per day for eight days in succession.
In shoal water. of course, the pressure on
the diver is comparatively small. and he

tie Many are the husbands who ex.
pect as good home made soup as they get
at first-claSs restaurants, and many are the
discouraged wives who would gladly cook
to please their husbands, but who neither
of them dream that any thing better than
a common iron kettle is necessary in which
to make nice soup. So, nine times in ten,
the soup is more or less favored with iron.
Prof. Blot always says ga crockery kettle,
or stew pan " when he mentions the uten-
sill for cooking any dish, meaning the glazed
or enamelled ware. Marian Harland tells
us never to cook onions in an iron kettle.
Observe. secondly, that you are to sim
mer" your soup for five or six hours"
To simmer is to boil gently, yet the boiling
should not cease for a moment during those
five or SIX hours.
Observe. thirdly, that you must skim off
all of the fat. Many people imagine that
the melted tallow gives richness to the
soup, but all the best cooks agree in saying
"take off all Of the fat and so, think,
says every educated stomach.

and they are ready for use. These are
excellent in pea and bean soup. but as some
may object to them, it is best to serve in a
separate dish, to add to the soup in the
plate.

experiences little fatigue compared with
that which he feels when working at a
great depth The small boat with which
the lifeline communicates, shifts position
as often as may be necessary, upon sig
nal from the diver. The pearl oysters are
found at various depths, from one to twenty
fathoms, but Capt. Clark's experience has
been that they are most abundant in water
from ten to twelve fathoms deep. They
are generally found on rocky bottom
sometimes in-bnt never on muddy bot
tom. The general impression that the
pearls are attached to the shell of the oys-
ter is incorrect. They grow in the meat of
the oyster. Sometimes they break through
the skin and attach themselves to the shell,
but pearls of this description are always Of
an inferior quality and generally defective
in formation. In South American waters
1900 oysters are considered a large days
catch; but the average is much less than
this. Capt. Clark has seen as many as
forty pearls taken from a single oyster.
There seems to he no rule governing the
growth of the pearls. Often a whole days
catch will prove comparatively worthless,
and then again hundred oysters will be
opened in succession, each one of which
contains pearl. The largest specimen
ever taken by Capt. Clark, weighed one
quarter of an ounce, and had it been per-
feet would readily have brought in the
market $50, 900. 1t was, however, marred
by several serious defects, and only 81, 900
was realized from it's sale.''

every report in the HeyaiH which appears

More than two weeks since herder of
Celay and Donache was captured by band

his feet under his horses belly, and turned
the horse loose After grazing around for
twelve hours the horse went to the rancho,
and the poor man was released. The ma
rauders collected the cattle and drove them
into Mexico. This occurred about twelve
miles south of Brownsville. Three days
since four armed Mexicans stopped an
United States soldier in the road about
thirty miles above here, questioned him,
and let him go. A detachment Of mounted
men was sent from the camp at Los Rucias
to look for the Mexicaus, but the result Is

Ehe New York HHotc, at Saratoga
Springs lBurned.

The New York Hotel. the large wooden
building OH the corner of Lake avenue and
Spring avenue, Saratoga Springs, was de-
stroyed by fire about 5 o'clock Friday morn
ing. When discovered the fire was in the
lower part, coming through the floor. 1t
stands near the brook and could he APP
preached from that way SO as TO start the
fire under one corner. 1t was first discov
cred about half past four o'clock. and had
then made such progress that the inmates
only had time to get out with such articles
as they could catch up. No portion of the
furniture was saved worth mentioning. 1t
belonged to Zina Mallary and was kept by
T. G. Hoyt, formerly of the Valley Hotel,
Middletown Springs, who leased it last
spring. 1t was three stories high, built of
wood, in rather a shabby style, but appear
ed well from the outside, and did a very
fair business with its large barns and sta
bles. While the fire was in progress the
next building, occupied by Patrick Scan
Ion, was twice discovered to be on fire.
Once in an upper room and the second time
lot of shavings were placed under the
clapboards and set on fire so as to b. seen
in the cellar. The firemen extipguished it
in both cases before it had time to spread.
The barns of the New York Hotel, al
though in close proximity to the house,
were saved. The property was sold two
or three months ago for some $4,000. The
New York Hotel was insured for $4,000,
and on furniture $3.50.

Marble and slate Freight.

Some facts were brought out before the
railroad committee, says the Poultney
Journal that are of interest by way OF
showing the amount of production of slate
and marble. The number of tons of each
shipped was given, and the amount OF
freight charges on the Delaware g. Hudson
Canal company's road. These two inter
ests pay the railroad company nearly $780,
900 year, and of this the slate pays nearly
as much os the marble. The receipts for
carrying slate aud marble together, amount
to about onc-sixth of the earnings of the
road for carrying frelghts.

Ibis has been the working and exciting
day of the session. In the Senate the
special order was the bill relating to rail-
road passes After the adoption OF an
amendment, Albert Clarke, Of ST. Albans,
proceeded to read an elaborate speech, ia
voring the bill, giving bis views
of the corrupting influence of rail-
road passes upon the judiciary the
legislature and the people generally.
Notwithstanding bis arguments favoring
the bill, on the conclusion of Ills remarks
the Senate refused to pass the bill, with
only Mr. Clark and his two colleagues
from Franklin county voting In f, vor of
II.
The exciting question in the house was
the bill abolishing the board Of education
and creating the office OF state superintend-

was spirited and much Ill feeling was
manifested towards the board of educa-
ton, especially DR.. French, the secretary.
He was denounced in unmeasured terms by
several Of the speakers. lie was termed
au imported secretary "sharper," and
other like epithets. During the discussion
it came out that he had received 81, 100 for
services in the state of Maine during the
past year. The bill was passed by large
majority. There is evidently far
more feeling among the people
than any one supposed against the board.
1t is more against DR.. French than the
board, because Of his coming from another
state, his manipulation in the adoption of
text books, especially his own arithmetic.
The election of DR.. French as secretary
instead of Vermont man, is the
underlying cause of this sudden overthrow
of our excellent school system.
Little of interest beside these questions
has occurred today. LEX.
