A WONDERFUL PEARL.

It Is in the Shape of an Almost Perfect
 Latin Cross.
 Black pearls used to be held as of small value, comparatively speaking. They were first trade fashionable by the Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, who possessed famous necklace of them which fetched twenty thou sand dollars at auction after the over- throw of the imperial dynasty. This did not include the single great pearl forming the snap, which was purchased by the marquis of Bath for five thou sand dollars Mexico, Tahiti and Fiji supply the market of the world with black pearls. The most extra ordinary pearl in the world is known as the Southern Cross" It is prob ably the most remarkable thing of its kind that nature has ever produced. So far as is known it occupies an abso- lutely unique position in the history of pearls. It consists of a group of nine pearls naturally grown together in so regular manner as to form an almost perfect Latin cross. Seven of them compose the shaft, which meas ures an inch and half in length, while the two arms of the cross are formed by one pearl on each side. All the pearls are of fine luster.
 This astonishing freak was discov- cred by man named Clark, while pearl fishing in Western Australia. He regarded it as a miracle, and, enter- taining a superstitious dread of it, he buried it. In 1874 it was dug up again and since then it has changed hands many times. Its value is set at fifty thousand dollars. How it came about that these pearls were grouped to- gether in such a manner no one has as yet been able to explain satisfactorily. It has been suggested that a fragment of serrated seaweed may have got into the shell of the oyster and that the succession of teeth along the margin of the front may have caused the depo- sition of nacre at regular intervals, so as to form string of pearls in straight line. The cross was found in the shell of the mollusk, just as it was taken from its native element, without any possibility of it's having been sub- jected to human anipulations.-N. Y. Advertiser

SURVIVORS ARRIVE.
petaiis of the Loss of tho City of Alexau-
 dria-Eleven Men Lost,

oetaiis or the Loss of tho City of Alexap- dria.Eleven Men Lost. . NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The steamer Seneca, which has arrived from Havana. brings Capt. Hoffman and fifty-six sur vivors of the ill-fated steamer, City of Alexandria. Five of the ships crew were lost and also six colored steve- dores. Capt Hoffman states that they sailed for Mantanzas November 1, at o:So D. m, with a strong north, north east wind and rough sea. All went well until about 5;3O D. m. Suddenly an explosion took place. Capt. Hoff- man rushed on deck immediately and found the ship mass of flames in the hold, fore and aft All hands were called to quarters. The fire hose was got ready and an attempt made to sub- due the flames, but it was soon appar- ent that the ship was doomed. The boats were ordered to be lowered: also the life raft.
 Five boats were lowered in charge of the officers, purser and chief engineer. The purser's boat, while being em- parked from the falls, got entangl in some gear and she swamped alongside the steamer. The purser and four others were lost. The remainder were picked up by the other boats. The force of the explosion was so terrific that the fore hatchway was blown clean into the water. Some of the col bred stevedores were blown overheard with it. The steamship kept going ahead until D. m., making some fif- teen miles, when the firemen were com pelled to abandon the fire room, and the steamer was beached on Jericka shoal, 13 miles from Havana. The yes sel is total loss.
 Capt Hoffman and six others took to the life-boats and were all washed off by the heavy sea, but managed to get back again, excepting William Foster, an oiler, who was drowned. Capt Hoffman states that the best of dis cipline prevailed after the explosion. Every man obeyed orders and went to his post in the coolest possible man. her. There was no rush to get into the lifeboats Capt. Hoffman, on be- ing questioned as to the cause of the explosion, did not care to give any opinion, pending his official report to the manager of the line,
 It was surmised it may have been caused by the exploding of the rum, which was a part of the cargo to be landed at Havana.
