1t is declared that the Union has but one
object in view in taking this step, and that ia

Am ng these are mentioned Ballot Reform,
the Eight Hour law, u repeal of the con-

systems on pub ic works and in prisons.

Lucky Finds OF Pearl Fishers.

TLoWer California letter to Philadelphia R,cordJ
They tell us that the best year of modern
times al the fisheries was that of 1881, though
why the gems should be more plentiful at one
than another nom can tell. During that
year many were obtained of extraordinary
size and great value. Among them was a
black one weighing twenty eight carats, which
sold in PARIS for $40, 900. In 1882 an ex.
tremely lucky diver named Napoleano Savin
found two treasures. weighing respectively
thirty one and forty live carats. whichtogether
brought $1l, 600. During 1883 several notable
specimens were found. Among them was a
light-brown pearl, tiecked with darker shades,
which weighed sixty five cRIats and Eoldf for
-, 900. Another found by Savin was pear
shaped, white. shot with dark specks, which
weighed fifty. -four carats and sold for e., 500.
These were all sent to Europe and marketed
there by MessrS. Gonzalez N Ruffo. In the
same year one Pubic Hedalgo, "A small mer-
chant of La Pa2, bought of an unknown In
dian, for 80. an oyal-shaped pearl tor which
he received in Paris the sum of IS, 500. II

in France as the brown. gray or speckled
ones. Black pearls are still more valuable,
aud pink ones the most valuable of all.

throughout the West as an all-round sport,
and who was n passionate fnncier of dogs,
WAS playing. Beside him, on the floor, sat
two Thoroughbred bull pup probably six
months old. They were regular beauties,
and many n fancier had cnst a c~ovetous optic
on the pair.

layout on the seven spot; then his hand went
