Pearls from the Maine Coast.

Referring to the announcement that
ga pearl weighing twelve grains, taken
from a fresh water mussel near Portland,
is on exhibition at New York, and one
found near the same place a few years
ago was sold the Empress Eugene for
81 500," the Portland (Me.) Press says:
1t may not be probably known that
pearls are often found in oysters and
CLANS in this neighborhood, and scarcely
a week passes that somebody does not
offer these gems for sale. AS general
rule they are either unstable on account
of imperfectiOn or color. The true gems
are always distinguishable. Perhaps a
dozen pearls q year will be purchased,
varying in value from FIVE dollars to
twenty dollars. 1t is also known fact
that drummer for we'll known Jew
elry house in New York was at Mount
Desert, and one of the fishermen residing
in the neighborhood brought him two
pearls. Upon looking them over the
drummer asked the man what he wanted
for them. He said set Of ieFelry for
his girl. The drummer offered him q
set valued at twenty-five dollars, which
the man eagerly accepted. The drum
mer had the pearls set in . pair
Of earrings and disposed Of them for
$500. They were found in oysters OF
clans ef Mount Desert.

Changes Of Life.

Change is the common feature of So
ciety-Of all life. .. ......
The world is like magic lantern, or
/ the shifting scenes of a panorama. Ten
/ years convert the population of schools
! into men and women, the young into
! fathers and matrons, make and mar for
tunes, and bury the last generation but
+ one.
Twenty years convert infants into
! lovers, fathers and mothers, decide mems
fortunes and distinctions, convert active
| men and women into crawling drivelers,
and bury all preceding generations.
| Thirty years raise an active generation
from nonenity, change fascinating beau
| ties into bearable old women, convert
lovers into grandfathers, and bury the
active generation, or reducGthem to de-
! crepitude and imbecility.
Forty years, alasl change the face of
| all society. Infants are growing old, the
bloom of youth and beauty has passed
away, two active generations have been
swept from the stag of life; names once
cherished are forgotten, unsuspected
Candidates for fame have started from
the exhaustless womb of nature.
And in fifty years-mature, ripe fifty
years-a half century-Whatt tremendous
changes occur. How Time writes her
sublime wrinkles everywhere, in rock,
river, forest, cities, villages, hamlets, in
the nature of man and the destinies and
aspects of all civilized society.
Let us pass on to eighty years-and
what do we desire and see in the world
to comfort us? Our parents are gone;
ou. children have passed away from us
into all parts OF the world to fight the
grim and desperate battle of life. Our
old friends where are tkeyT We be-
hold a world of which we know nothing
and to which we are unknown. We
weep for the generations long gone by
for lovers, for parents, for children, for
friends in the grave. We see everything
turned upside down by the tickle hand
of fortune and the absolute despotism
of Time. In a word, we behold the
vanity of life, and are quite ready to
lay down the poor burden and be gone.

Affixing Signatures.

The practice of signing as a mode oi
! giving formal assent to written con.
tracts or characters is probably as old as
and In one sense we may say older, thar
the art OF handwriting. Among all peO.
J pies the art OF authenticating a docu-
menJ was accomplished by the most
illiterate persons, either by affixing a
stamp with the signet ring they carried,
or by Initiating the process of signing by
some other and ruder device. Con-
splcuous among these more rustic man.
auvers was that which Gibbon mentions
as adopted by Theodore, the great
Ostrogo h, King of italy. He had gold
plate made, in which the first few LETT
ters OF his hane were cut in the Greek
character; and when a paper bad to be
signed by him the plate was laid upon
1t, and his majesty, passing the pen
along the paper in the interstices of the
metal, traced by these means the royal
signature, which he could never reme1n-
ber in any other way. A still more
barbarous and ungainly device was that
VIII ch was itlventet, or at least prac.
ticed, by the Tur. ish sultans of Iconium,
when that town was their capital. They
simply dipped their hand in the bowl of

upon the paper or paryrus, left the in
delble impress of it in gigantic and
most conspicuous shape. A somewhat
similar habit is reported from india,
where landowners in the Mahratta cOun-
try are, or were until lately, accustomed
to dip their thumb in the sandal eye,
and by pressing it on the paper leave
their sign-manuei, or, as in this case, it
should perhaps be called their sign
digital. This was in the case of rajahs
or zemindars. who could not write their
own name; but it is said that in another
part of India Brahmin who was highly
educated teS0rted to practice very like
that of the Iconian Sultans whenever it
was his intention to make very generous
and comprehensive grant, the character
of which he thought would be we'll typi-
fed by the mark of the open hand. The
origin of the "mark" with which litter
ates now sign is enveloped IL some
doubt; but it would be quite wrong TO
suppose that the cross they now use was
employed in very early times On the
contrary, it is said that for many CEN
turies after the dark ages those who |
could not afford to wear ring or keep q |
signet used to make some special and |
peculiar mark, such as an arrow head,
in which it was supposed, and perhaps
rightly, that their autograph could be
recognized. 1t is well known to any
that William Shaksneare
spelt his own name in several different
ways at different times Raphael signed

Italian. Napoleon altered the spelling
both of his christian and his surname.

Age of the Earth.

Among the astounding discoveries Of
modern science is that of the immense
periods of time which have passed in the
gradual formation of the earth. So vast
were the cycles of time preceding even
the appearance of man on the surface of
the globe that our own period seems az
Yesterday when compared with the
epochs that have gone before it. Had
we no other evidences than the deposits Of
rock heaped upon each other in regular
strata by slow accumulation of mate
rials, they alone would have convinced
us of the extended and slow, maturing
of Gods wOrk.On earth; but when we
add to these the successive populations
of whose life this world has been the
theater, and whose remains are hidden
in the rocks into which the mud, or sand,
or soil of whatever kind, on which they
lived, has hardened in the course of
time-OT the enormous chains of noun
tains whose upheavals divided these
periods of quiet accumulation by great
cOnvulsions or the changes of a differ
ent nature in the cOntguration of our
globe, as the sinking of lands beneath
the ocean, or the gradual rising of
continents and islands abOve--Or slow
growth of the coral reefs, those won
derful sea walls. raised by the little
ocean architects, whose own bodies fur
nish both the building stones and the
cement that binds them together, and
who have worked so busily during the
long centuries, that there are extensive
countries, mountain chains, islands, and
long lines of coast consisting solely of
their remains or the countless forests
that have grown up, fourished and de-
cayed, to fill the store-houses of coal
that feed the fire of the human race : if
we consider all these records of the past,
the intellect. fails to grasp chronology
of which our experience furnishes the
data, and time that lies behind us seems
as much an eternity to our conception as
the future that stretches before US

The Voice Of the Turtle.

A Kentucky preacher rose to speae,
and opened the bible. The first verse
that met his eye happened to be, The
voice of the turtle shall be heard in the
land" Brethern," said he, at first
sight one would not think there was
much in this text, but, on 3 little con-
sideration, you will see there's great
deal in it. Now, you all know what q
turtle in. If you've been along by q
pond, you have seen them sitting on q
log summing themselves. Now, il is said,
The voice of the turtle shall be heard
in the land But the turtle hasn't any
voice that anybody ever heard; so It
must be the noise be makes in plunging
of the log into the water. Hence We
must conclude thar innnaeraion ia meant

because Justices Clifford and Hunt are each
physically, if not also mentally, unable to
perform any judicial labor. Although per-
manently disabled, neither Clifford nor Hunt
is yet willing to resign, the first having long
ago declared that he would not retire unless
he could be succeeded by a Democrat, and
Hunt because he is not eligible to retirement
with pay If they do not resign, or if Justice
Hunt is not provided for by special Act of
Congress, there is considerable probability
that law will be passed providing for the
appointment of two additional members of

The New Chinese Treaty.
WASHINGTON, November 27th-Additional
information received here by telegraph from
China makes it certain that the new treaty
on the subject of immigration will be entirely
satisfactory to the Pacific coast sentiment, as
stated in special dispatches last Monday. 1t
does not attempt to regulate the subject
clears the way for Congressional action to re-
strict the immigration of Chinese laborers to
any extent that the United States may deem
advisable.
Early next week proclamation will be
issued by President Hayes, placing China on
the same footing as Great Britain and other
nations with the matter of port and tonnage
dues in this country. The proclamation will.
in short, declare "that Chinese vessels are
not subject to any discriminating duties"
The official announcement will probably be
issued as soon as Monday or Tuesday.
