The most extraordinary pearl,
or, rather, cluster of pearls, Known
as the Southern Cross. T" is owned
by syndicate of Australians. who
value it at 100000. So far as is
known it occupies an absolutely
unique position. 1t consists of nine
pearls naturally grown together in
so regular a manner as to form a
perfect Latin cross. The pearl was
discovered by a pearl fisher at
Roebourne, West Australia. The
first owner regarded it with so
much superstition that he buried it.
But it was discovered in 1874, and
five years later it was placed on ex-
hibition in Australia.

IN A CREAM FREEZER
Struggled Jewels Found Valued at
Large Sum-Scnt TO Veracruz From
Germany.

Neracruz. Feb. 5.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made here this
morning TO smuggle into the coun-
try many thousands Of dollars worth
of Jewels skillfully concealed in an
ice cream freezer. The duties that
ought to have been paid for the
Jewels amount to over $4,000.
The ice cream freezer came sew
eral days ago from Hamburg over
the German steamer Sparta. 1t was
consigned to A. G. f., and was
an unusually large one, measuring
about II meters high and IS cent?
meters in diameter.
This morning Mr.. Rosas, inspec-
tor of the maritime customs house,
noticed that the freezer was exceed
ingly heavy and ordered that the
tin lining of the cover to be re-
moved. When this was done there
was found l26 boxes with eight
gold watches in each. The lining
of the lower part was then remov-
ed, and a great many more gold
watches, some of them very val
liable, were found.
The freezer, with its contents,
were con6scated by the customs
house authorities and an acta was
drawn up, to be sent to the judge
of the district. An active investi-
cation has been started. Mexican

climax Of all the Christian graces,
without it, religion is like a body

shadow of a shadow: our aims,

nothing more attractive than the

CHARITY.
BY W. d. CowLEy.

Written for THE HERALD.
In my last letter, Friendship,
mention was made of Charity, as
the twin sister of friendship. Char,
ity is one of those amiable quail
tiles of the human breast that inn
parts pleasure to its possessor, and
those who receive it. It is of a
modest and retiring nature Char
ity, like the dew from heaven, falls
gently on the dropping flowers in
the stiffness Of night. 1t flows from
a good heart, and looks beyond the
skies for approval and reward. It
never opens, but seeks to heal the
wounds inflicted by misfortune-it
never harrows up, but strives to
calm the troubled mind. Was this

business. Wars would cease, jeal-
ousy and revenge would hide their

in matters of religion would crumble
in dust; the household Of faith
would become what it should be,
