Impressions and Experiences of an
American Artist in Riding Through

The following akcth 0f lie on the
ret!:gsy iaindia is from the November
number of Harper's Magazine, and is
written by Edwin Lord Weeks, O
noted painter. His reference to the
mOngoOse Is of present interest to this
section of the United States, since it
has peen rumored that Mr.. Vanderbilt
proposed to introduce this animal on
his extensive grounds near Asheyille,
N. c., but which has been denied on
good authority. The extract is as fol-

The Jodhpofe and Bikanir mail left
OF the usual early hour. 1 was fortu-
nate enough to find an empty compart-
mept, and, in fact, there was no other
European on tho train. The life along
the road had lost nothing of its primi-
tive character. At Metra ROado
some belated passengers mounted on
camels were hurrying to catch the
train along the sandy track which led
from the distant village, They were
perched high mp on the doubleaseated
saddles of tho country, and each pair
other as they bobbed up and down,
keeping time to the b~one-breaking
strides of their camels. While the
master, wearing the jaunty little
Jodhope turban above his w~ell-oiled
locks, sat in front, the servant took
the back seat, holding aloft in one
hand the family hookah." At the
station the camels knelt down, bubbling
and moaning, while their riders de-
scended and hurried in to buy their
tickets. Here the guard ~telegraphed
to Jodhpore, that tiffln might be ready
on IL arrival; for should one neglect
TO take this precaution he would pro-
badly find nothing to eat but oranges

goat-skins. Everywhere in India, and

states, people are in the habit Of

1t Is reported of Gallileo that when
he began to promulgate his theory of
the motion OF the earth, he was turn

was regarded as heretical, and in
hopes OF making him recant, the In
QUESTION subjected him to severe
penalties. Among other things, he
was thrown into prison and each day
required ~ recite three penitential
Psalms and pray for forgiveness. He
obeyed the decree Of the Inquisition /;
but it is related that he never failed
to supplement each prayer with the

G~uriosities inPearis.

The value OF pearls has been, in all
ages commensurate with their beauty.
In the East, especially, they have been
greatly admired, aud enormous sums OF
money have been paid for them. Pliny
observes that pearls are the most yaIu-
able and excellent Of all precious
stones and from oufsSaviour's compar
ing the kingdom of heaven to a pearl.
1t Is evident they must have been held
In very high estimation at that time.
1t is said that Julius Caesar gave a
pearl to the mother of Marcus Brutus
that was valued at 48,4l7 pounds ard no
shillings of our present money (: and
Cleopatra dissolved one worth 25O,OOO
In vinegar, which she drank; at the
supper with Mark Antony.
From time immenorial there have
been fisheries of pearls in the Persian
Gulf, the Red Sea, and in the bays of
Ceylon ; and when Columbus arrived in
the Gulf of Paria on his first VOYAGE to
America he was ~astonished to find the
precious gems Astounding there in un-
parallel quantities. HIS men landed,
and saw the Indian women adorned
with splendid pearls round their necks;
but their pOssesssOr seom to have been
perfectly Ignorant of the true value OF
the gems, as 1t is recorded that an In
dian woman gave one of the sailors four
rows of her pearls merely in exchange
for o broken earthenware plate.
The Spanish King forbade any one
to go within fifty leagues of the place
such riches were found without the
royal permission, and took possession
OF the fisheries for himself; but so
cruelty did the Spaniards behave
to the natives, making them perforce
dive for them, and brutally ill-treating
them when they were unsuccessful in
pearl finding, that lone morning at
dawn the Indians assailed the Spani-
ards, made a sanguinary slaughter OF
them. and, with dancing and leaping,
ate them, both monks and laymen."-

The following memorial was present

To the General Assembly of Georgia /:
The farmers of Putnam County, re-
alizing that prompt and practical action

for signatures, binding the signers to
plant ext year One-third Of their cult
vatable lands in cotton and the rest in
food crops let these blanks be ~circulat-
ed simultaneously in every militia dis
trict, and the work for signatures COM
pleted ten days after it is begun, and
the lists then returned to some general
headquarters for each county, after
which let the Governor of the State
call q State convention Of farmers for
organization looking to the carrying
out in good faith of the agreement, and
In n meantime let The Governor and
the Commissioner of Agriculture bring
the plan to the attention of the proper
Officials In the other cotton-growing
States and ask their speedy co-opera-
tion.
The mass meeting referred to APP
