WPiim PEARLS PROM THE PACIFIC The Fisheries on the Coast of Lower California. New A oik Herald. On the coast of Lower California an important industry has been developed by the pearl fisheries of that remote region. Five mer chants and a thousand daring (liv ers are wearing ut their lives in supplying the markets of Paris, London and Xew York with the rare and cosily black pearl, which is found in a slate of great perfec tion in the deep waters off La Paz. The latitude is a little south of Key "West in Florida, and not far north of Havana. Since the re cent Mexican fever began, an in creasing public interest has been taken in the resources of the ancient empire of the Montezumas, and the gold and silver and other precious products of that land are exciting much curiosity among American capitalists. As the pearl fisheries of Lower California be long to Mexico, they will of course rank among the other natural riches of that country. Chiel Kn gineer Magee of the United States navy, who has lately returned from the gulf of California, was found at the Fifth-avenue hotel recently, in company with one of The Principal IVjirl .licri-timtls Of Mexico, who had just arrived from Paris, whither he had been on amission to dispose of his an- il harvest of precious stones. I nun This merchant, while hoping to see his country developed and American capital, industry and machinery encouraged for this purpose, did not think that the present condition of the pearl cries of the gulf of California "would warrant the investment of more capital or labor. The follow ing facts were given during the interview: Pearl oysters arc found front one to six miles from shore, in from eight to twenty-oua fathoms of water. The one thousand divers who are engaged in searching for them are gener ally employed under the contract system, as they make greater ef forts to discover Hie pearls than they do when hired by the day. Boats, diving apparatus and money for provisions and outfits are sup plied by the merchants, on con dition that all the pearls discov ered shall be sold to them at such prices as may be agreed upon in other words, that he may hve the refusal of all the pearls found. Tin' IVai-1 Season. Sailboats of five tons burden and containing six men each are fitted up with sleeping and cook ing accommodations, and six months are devoted to pearl diving up and down the coast, from May until October and November. The total product of a years work is estimated at about 300,000 that is, valuing the pearls at the first cost price. The United States is a very poor place to sell pearls of any kind and black pearls, which are most valuable, are bought exclusively by wealthy and titled people in Europe. St. Petersburg ranks next to Paris as a good market for them, while in the United States there is a great demand for diamonds of extraor dinary value. Of the entire yield of Mexican pearls ten per cent, are white, forty per cent, are blue, and fifteen per cent are black. The blue stones are of little value. The oyster in which the pearl is found has the shape of a large clam or saddle-rock oyster but it is smooth and brilliant, with all The Colors or I hr Hniubtm. The shells, which are known as the mother of pearl, are carried once a year in ships of 2,000 tons, around cape Horn to Hamburg, where they are sold to German merchants and manufacturers for sawing into buttons, knife handles, paper cutters, and a thousand oth er ornaments for boudoir and studio. Americans are beginning to use this material, and it is thought that there will be a large djemand for pearl shells in a few years. They are worth from $400 to 500 per ton. Boston buys more of them than any other city in the United States. The value of pearls depends entirely upon their Mr.e. shape and color, and perfect condition. There can never be an arbitrary schedule of prices agreed upon, for what one man may be willing o pay SI ,000 for, another man would not give a tenth part of that sum. The Rus sian nobles are especially fond of rich black pcail, which would scarcely find snle in the United Slate, except as a matter of spec ulation to send abroad. The un certainty of the fisheries sire great. Sometimes it is weeks and even months before a htimlred dollars worth of btoiws are discovered. The choicest pearls found during a season are worth from $1,000 to ."),O00 apiece. The cheapest peails arc sold by weight. 'I tie ! of IVarl. Generally pearls are about tin size of bullets and found in the soft oyster near the place where it joins the shell. Then again just at the close of a long and unprofitable season, an experienced diver may find a few pearls worth a foitune. Strange things happen down in the wild solitudes of those distant fish eries. Poor men sometimes find pearls that a king might envy, and if the divers were frugal I hey could often rise above the obscur ity of poor pearl fislwirmen: but such successes are generally followed by dissipation, which j soon leaves the man xs penniless as ,,p was b(lfore. T,,e Moxica livcrf! of t,,e ffn,f of cWomia , icau said to be the most excrt in the world. They go down into deeper water and remain below for a long time. In former limes many men were lost in this perilous pursuit fish-Lfter .submarine treasures. En lish diving suits are said to be the safest and most satisfactory, and superior to the celebrated French armor, but American hose-pipes are unsurpassed. Several years ago a large number of divcis lost their lives in one season because of the defective English hose tub ing. Since then there have not heeu many serious accidents. TSii 1xm. or i.sic Caused by the exposure and hard ships of pearl fishing is consider able, and the men generally retire after a few years of active service to spend the rest of their wretched days in trying to find relief for a rheumatic paralysis which general ly closes a pearl-fishers life. The lower currents of the sea, at a depth of eighteen or twenty fathoms, are very cold, even in the tropics, while the picasnie is op pressive. The blood grows cold and thick, so that the joints stiffen, the muscles contiact, and only the strongest const it u lions ean long survive the hardships of .earl fish ing. The divers see a great many sharks, but, xs a rule, ihey do not fear them, although they some times cut or break the pipes which supply lite men wjth air irom the atmosphere above. The danger most dreaded by the brave fisher men is the celebrated devil-fish. "They are all we fear," said the merchant. lThey lie near the bottom of the sea. At fust sight they seem insignificant and harm less, but if a diver or the air-pipes come within their reach their long, shadowy tentacles or fingers sud denly clutch the object with a powerful, tightening grasp, until the man is crushed to death or the hose-pipes cut in twain. Many a man has lost his life through the wickedness of these devil-fish.' Hermosillo, the sleepy oid So nera town, is at last beginning to feel the effocts of American ener gy. A Tombstone man traveled through Sonora recently and gave his impressions of the country in the Nugget. He found the people far less suspicious than he antici pated, and much more eager to take advantage of the railroad boom that is now breaking upon the country. In Hermosillo a walk through the principal street showed eleven painters changing Spanish into American signs. When one considers tlie force of Spanish - American inertia, this concession to the angio-Saxon in vader seems almost like a miracle.

Memphis Aj'il. 1 have somi some notices of the storm that swept through De Soto county, but none ol them describe it fully. About three o'clock in the afterntHHi of the day it occur red, attention was attracted to the east by two or tluee loud elajs ol thunder, where a cloud of peculiar blackness was seen rapidly push ing above the horizon, and in a few minutes appeared to be wrap ped in a sheet of ilame. It had the appearance of a volcanic moun tain pouring forth toi rents of burning lava, while from the open crater red Haines shot above the burning mass. Very soon a heavy sound was heard as of a distant waterfall, and in twenty minutes increased to the roar of a hundred railroad trains. Forked tongues of electric fire now leaped out from tile bosom of the cloud, gleaming like Tin Con -it in ins l'lasli r Oiitiiijinlriirr. And the rapidly succeeding peals of thunder made it a scene to strike the boldest heart with ter ror. When it crossed the Missis sippi river at Commerce and struck (the timber on the east side it was like the crash of a falling moun tain. The large storehouse of Mr. Fry was unroofed in an instant, and twenty-two other buildings dasliod to the ground and broken into fragments. Then it rebound ed from the earth, rising high above the timber, and went on its way with its fires and thunders, smoking, roaring, boiling and (lash ing, until it became Tlie 1or,j MiXiliiuit.i r Terror. Suddenly it descended to the ground again in the vicinity of Hernando and began anew the work of destruction, tearing down houses, trees and fences in its de structive march. The large gin house of Mr. Heilly was nearly torn to pieces. Mrs. (lores place was literally cleared of fences and all outhouses, and in attempting to close the door of her dwelling she was driven some distance from the house and the door shivered to pieces. Continuing eastward, it wrecked a number of houses on Mr. Xew Minis place, killing a negro woman and two children. On Mr. 1'auks place the chimney stack to his mill was thrown down and the building crushed. At Dr. Landei dales, siv miles north west from Hernando, his store house was blown down to its foun dation and its contents driven miles awav. The Doctors dwell ing ai.d all his other houses were Mtirlril Jo IM-strilrlluu. And he was so much bruised that his life was despaired of fur sever al days. His wife had her thigh broken, and strange, but true, his daughter, in bed with an infant eight days old, was rolled up in the bed and laid down again with out injury to either. An eyewit ness says he saw a fence-rail driven through an .., tree twenty inches in diameter, splitting the tree open in its passage. A barrel of salt, three hundred pounds in weight, was lifted up by the wind and car ried three miles, and put down without bursting it. Beyond Camp creek the dwelling of Ben Harwell was torn to pieces and he killed. Trees were torn from the giound or twisted off like corn stalks, and driven away. Every thing in its track is a wreck. Seven persons in all are said to have been killed, and the destruc tion was continued some distance into Marshall county. Dr. Swing is only partially satisfied with the work of the revising committee on the bible. He strenuously advocates a bible for popular use that may be print ed in comparatively small com pass with large type. This he thinks, can be done bv retaining the essence of the book, and throwing away such parts as have no practical e very-day value. The bible, he claims, can only be injured by excessive timidity, and not by setting it free from some of the -weights which impends its progress. A Fair Proposition.
