American Pearls.

With the exception of about three
thousand dollars worth of pearls
which. came from fre 'h water Vussels
and are found all over the Union
principally in the Miame river, Ohio
American PEARLS come from the Gulf
of California. They are as fine as
any Oriental pearls, and are valued
as highly. The fresh water pearls
are almost all small, but brilliant
and somewhat rosy in tint. About
half of the California pearls are
black and command a better price
than the white pearls. Some years
ago about eighty per centum Of Cal
ifornia pearls were black, the pro-
portion having diminished rapidly
during the last ten years. Tie big
gest pearl ever found in this country
was the celebrated one found about
twenty years ago i'll q New Jersey
pond, and sold to the then Empress
Eugene.
OF late, many small and almost
worthless pearls have been received
from Texas farmers, who have an ex-
agerated notion of their value. They
are frequently purchased more as a
matter of encouragement to the
pearl hunters, than anything else.
Some day these hunters may discov-
er valuable gems and their custom
may be worth something. Those
already found are small. pink, ire
gular shoped pearls, the majority of
them not larger than pin head.
The larger they are the more defec-
tive they are in shape aud color.
Some of the larger ones might be
mistaken for bits of bone polished
up The only use to which they
can be put is for replacing lost pearls
in old jewelry of no great ,elao,
which is sent for repair. Sometimes
they can be cut into pieces, and o
small piece of fair pearl can be OBJ
tained for enamelling.
The finest string OF pearls ever
brought to this county, is now in
the possession of Tiffany & Co., of
New York. 1t consists of sixty
pearls, the largest being about the
size of wren's egg. Every pearl is
perfectly round and pure in color,
and not one is valued at less than
$500. The difference between real
and imitation pearls cannot be told
until they are handled. The best
expert cannot tell good imitation
pearl from the real without touching
it. The weight is deficient il imi,
tation pearls, and the surface is diff
ferent to an experienced hand.
They can only be distinguished by
touch and weight. But every pearl
in ballroom might be false with
out the best expert i'll the trade sus-
pecting it.

WE publish the Republican party platform
of Minnesota this week for the first time. 1t
is honest, it is loyal, it is sound. The bond
men effect to dislike it beca lSe it is non-com-
initial on the bond question the regulators
for the same reason. We ar b in favor of set
Ting the bonds on the basis proposed by the
last Legislature-50 cents on the dollar--but it
is disgrace to civilizations shock to the NOR
al intelligence of the grand old Republican
party, to know that there are large numbers
within it's ranks who are utter regulators, or
in favor of lower scaling of the bonds than
so cents on the dollar. That sentiment shows
itself largely in every political convention,
and demands recognition ih the party plat
forms. But that sentiments never recognize
ed, as it was not this time. On the contrary,
the bond-paying sentiment prevailed and was
expressed in the warm and hearty endorse
ment of Gov. Pillsbury, the wiping out of this
financial disgrace being one of the distinctive
features OF his administration. Certainly,
the honest Republicans ought to be satisfied
with the platform, and the demagogues and
trimmers we care not whether they are salts
fed or not
