TYpe Writing TeleRraphx.

For several months past experiments
have been made between New York and
Philadelphia and Pittsburg with new
printing telegraph called "Essick's Type
writing Telegraph" The latest expert
ments made on line TAO miles in length,
in all kinds of weather, and under unfa-
vorable conditions, are claimed to have
been satisfactory, and as demonstrating
the perfect feasibility of tho system. The
transmitting instrument is worked like q
key board. and requi Q, no special train
ing on the part of the operator. The mat
ter transmitted is received at the opposite
terminal and at way stations automatically
on strips Of paper from three to four
inches wide in plain print. The opera.
tions of this telegraph have been witnessed
by leading journalists with much interest,
as it promises advantages for newspaper
work. The inventor claims that it will
largely supersede the telephone. The
present speed is about thirty five words
minute, with possibility of fifty words.

The Is,;tI'Ou IBttl,

A Dakota Legislature without bullion
bill would be IA novelty. For weeks We
have wondered il the record would be
broken by the eighteenth assembly. Days
passed. weeks rolled by, and yet there was
no bill to tax tho bullion which is going
out from the ore filled mountains OF the
Black Hills. But 1t has come. The bill
has been introduced and again are the
popular Black Hills members on the Jump.
The Dakota legislature evidently does not
intend to slight any Of the distinguished
men of the country, fcc having paid
its respects to the vanderbilts
and Wizards by the introduction of rail-
road bills; rendered its compliments to
Jay Gould in bill for the increased taxa
tion Of telegraph companies. and EXPRESS
ed its esteem to many others of the coun-
try's magnates, it now extends its most
earnest recognition to Senator Hearst by
the introduction Of bill for the taxation
of bullion. That this is a world Of trials
and tribnlations is painfully evident 70 the
gentlemen from the Black Hills, who, just
as they began to get out Of the woods
with the soldiers home, are bombarded
with bullion bill which promises tonfu-
sion.

the letter. Lieut.. Baert believed that
Stanley only reached Wadelsi by siren.
nous efforts, and that Emin Pasha relieved
Stanley instead Of being relieved and re-
victusled BY him. Stanley was enabled to
return to Murevis in eighty-two days,
whereas the journey from Yambuga to
Wadelai occupied ten months. Baert adds
that fresh letters from Stanley for Eng
land, written when Stanley departed from
Murevia to rejoin Emin, arrived at Stan

pected shortly. He says Stanley will not
return, either by the Congo or by Zanzi-

The Pearl Excitement.

The pearl discoveries on Sugar river,
at Albany and Belleville, Green coun-
ty, In the southern part of the state, are
causing no little local excitement at
least The finds are quite numerous,
81 900 worth of pearls being fonnd in
one day at Albany. One pearl found
by Mrs. G.. Sherman sold for S65.
Another discovered was valued at $lOO.
The pearls in size range from double
B buck shot down to a pin head. Some
are brown, others are red, and still
others resemble glass Then there are
those of a deep, rich, milky hue-the
choicest of all, in the estimation of the
finders.
The CLAIMS in which these pearls are
found do notappear to be any different
in their nature from the Rock river
CLAIMS, and who knows but upon exam
ination the river in our neighborhood
may have numerous pearls lying in its
bed. Speaking of where the CLAIMS are
discovered and how obtained, The
Madison Journal says:
The mud in the bottom of Sugar river
appears to be filed with the clans in
which the pearls are found. Searchers
either naked or wearing old clothing,
boldly wade into the river and pull up
the CLAIMS with their toes, when they
cannot reach them with their hands.
Generally, the mud is about waist deep,
with only foot or two of water over it.
The bad condition of the water, thick
as it is with mud, renders it very un-
desirable for searcher to put his head
beneath the surface. Common rakes
are used to some extent. The only
CLAIMS In which pearls are found are Of
very rough kind, with furrowed sur
faces, both inside and out, strong
hinges, and shells frequently over half
an inch in thickness. No pearls what
ever are found in the ordinary smooth
shelled clans The shells, when closed,
are often two inches through at the
thickest part, and sometimes as large as
ones open hand. The finest pearls are,
however, as frequently discovered in
the small CLAIMS as in the large ones
The meat in the bivalves is from half an
inch to one inch in thickness, and the
pearls are found located in any part of
it-sOmetimes back near the hinge then
again close to the lips. The shells, be-
ing tightly closed are either pried open
with some iron instrument or else brok-
en- open with a hammer, rock or billet
of wood. The pearl, if there be one,
is readily discovered by pressing over
the meat with the thumb. On an av-
erage, about two pearls are found to
every 100 shells.
