THE STORY OF THE GOLDFIELDS.
From the DemerarG Argosy March 28.

No one who was on the field at the time
will forget the excitement that was arous-
ed when the Joker" nugget was found at
Teetulpa. No other has yet been obtained
on Teetulpa that can equal 1T in weight:
It turned the scale at thirty ounces, and
was bought by the Government for the
sum of 412O. In size and shape it resem-

wealthy men of Teetulpa. So on this day,
reclining full length, leaning on one arm,

The West Indies are among the happlest OF
the happy hunting grounds of the shell-collec'
tor. Yet we could probably reckon on the
fingers of one hand the people in these Islands
who take any interest in conchology. Clearly,
this is not due to the nature of the subject, its
difficulty, or its dryness nor yet to an IN
susceptibility Of the Creole mind to the claims
Of the beautiful, q feeble developement OF the
aesthetic sense. 1t may to some, extent be
accounted for by the want of popular intro
ductory Textbooks on Conchology dealing
with the science from a West Indian point of
view, illustrating its technlcalltles and explain
inc its principles by reference to the shells. with
which we are familiar, which we played with
as children, and which we can procure at will
for the purposes Of study. Some may attribute
this apathy to laziness-and others, more
charitably disposed, lay the blame on the
enervating nature of the climate. But that
West Indians appreciate the beauty of their
own shells, even if they are too lazy to learn,
or lack opportunities for learning anything
about them, is apparent enough to one who Is
familiar with their homes. In Basseterre, for
instance, there is scarcely a house from the
best TO the lowest class where shells, or frag-
ments of them, are not to be found conspicu'
ously displayed B ornaments.
The investigation OF a particular Drancn. OF a
science necessitates some acquaintance with
the science as a whole, and involves the study
of it's general principles as exemphfed In tho
part Of it under consideration. 1t is proposed
therefore to discuss in this lecture the science
of shells in general as illustrated by Caribbean
forms. as we'll as the special features OF the
Conchology of the West Indies regarded as a
particular area of she'll distribution.
But though it is not possible to contne our"
selves to the shells of the Antilles and Bahamas,
it is necessary especially considering the limit
ed time at our disposal, to arrive az q StIlct
definition of the word Concho1ogy, ana mus
to exclude from this lecture a large number OF
organisms which, though more or less allied In
nature, similar in appearance, and beaqtitul
and interesting to a degree, have no Just CLAIMS
on our consideration at present.
Conchology, if defined in accordance with
its derivation, would be restricted to the shells
of the Conchifera (the oysters, CLANS, cookies,
&c.0. for the word concha means o blvalve
she'll. 1t is true that Creoles mean by Conchs
certain univalves, big strombs or helmet shells;
but from a classical standpoint the Derivation
would ignore about three-fourths OF the trea-
sures of the ConcholOgist.
The word Testaeeology has been proposed
instead but this runs into the opposite erroE'
and means too much, for it would refer even 10
such shells as the turtle 's-"Tuque testudoreSo-
mare septem callida nervis." The Derivation 0!
testudo. from tesla a shell, is as clear as 'ho = =
many English words, such as testimony dno
testament, the connection OF which with sneiis
few people would notice. TIL reminded cA 'n0

DuIlness in Stocks - sharp Rally in the ForenoOn-Special Weakness in Tennessee Coal-The Final Changes at Fractional Losses.

NEW YORK, August Il.
 The dealings in railroad bonds were not so widely distributed to-day, and while the market as whole displayed fairly steady tone, the Richmond 6 West Point 5's and the Readings seconds were specially weak, the former drop ping 134 to 541e, and the latter 1N to 33. The trading reached only 4s OOO with no other feature in the market.
 On the stock exchange to-day dullness was again the most prominent characteristic, but there was a sharp rally in the forenoon which was not maintained later, and the final changes for the day was in almost all cases insignificant. The sharp rally this morning was entirely due to the covering of shorts while the offerings of stocks were unusually small. Union Pacific to- day was rather less prominent in the dealings, and while it touched 463s in the early trading rallied with the other active stocks. The move ments of importance in the list were very few in number and the general list was as dull and featureless as usual though the sensation of the day was drop in Richmond & West Point pfd to 491h Special weakness was seen .in Tennessee Coal also, but the general tendency among rail. road stocks where any fuctuation was ap- parent was upward. Late in the day the selling of Union Pacific and Louisville and Nashville was resumed on larger sale, the former espec. ialy weakening under the pressure. The late dealings developed some support in a few stocks but the entire list yielded, many stocks reaching their lowest for the day at the time. The final changes were small fractional losses
