Tint in t-
, rl i Seep in color, as tho heart
Wboec every thought of her is prayer;
For violets grow pale and dry,
Jsdlote tho semblance of bor oye.
So lilj's bud I gave my love,
• Though ebe is white and pure as they;
For they are cold to smell and touch,
And blossom but a single day;
And pressed by love, in love s own page,
Ike, yellow into early age.
Eat cyclamen I clioso to give,
Whose pale white blossoms at the tips
(111 else are driven snow) are pink,
And mind me of her perfect lips;
5fll till this flower is kept and old
its worth to love is yet untold.
Old. kept, and kissed, it does not lose
As other flowers the hues they wear;
hove is triumphant and this bloom
Will never whiten from despair;
Either it deepens as it lies,
Xhis dower that purples when it dies.
So shall my love, as years roll by,
TaVc kingly colors for its own;
Sole master of her vanquished heart,
Am I not master of a throne ?
Crushed by no foot, nor cast away,
llrpurplo love shall rule the day.
OTHELLO’S WAIL.
Indignation of a Sonth Carolina
Brave,
'ith Carolina correspondence of tho Cincinnati
Commercial. |
Major Dickerson, of the “National Guard of
i State of Sonth Carolina," (as tho militia is
id for short) is mad. He sweats, and foams,
ci charges—not with his militia, for they have
aa disbanded. That is what is the matter.
It army has been taken away from him. He
to longer ride on his gray charger along the
of dusky warriors, giving hoarse orders to
;tt about face,” “forward, march,” and so
His occupation is gone.
I called npon tho gallant Major at his favorite
■room to-day, to interview him on the situa-
j. The Major lives in Charleston, when he
cot dragged to the capital of the State by
issing official business.
Ho was formerly a slave - , and is as black as
ulnmn of smoke that comes out of the Ga
ft smoke-stack every evening at the hour
uia good peoplo aro wending their way to
:reh and concentrating their thonghts on
ags to come. The Major is consequently en-
sly black. Not a drop of white blood can be
jjj in his body anywhere. He is not only
ii, bnt ns ugly as a stump fence. His mouth
xls like the opening of a big black carpet-bag
lil with small tomb-stones. If he should put
aself at tho head of his gallant men, open
at stupendous month and charge pn tho ene-
a, the enemy would leave the field in disorder,
fpon being introduced to this gory hero of £
adred dress parades, by way of opening the
Evcrsation I asked him if he knew how the
tremor was. “I understand ho is quite sick,”
continued.
' I dnnno how he is,” replied the high officer
the National Guard, “but I hope, by G—d,
fU die afore night. I’d bo the happiest man
this hero earth, if he would.”
‘Ton don't like the Governor, then?”
‘•like him ? h—11, no. He’s sold out to the
ids. He's deceived the colored people. He’s
tnitor to everything. I hope he’ll die.’
“What do you think of the State Govem-
I think the carpet-baggers have got it and
ajing h—11 with it. The carpet-baggers that
re now running the machine aro a low down,
•1st, sneaking set of thieves. They aro de
wing the colored people and stealing every-
tisg thev can get their hands on. They aro a
rekof scoundrels. And yet wo see the colored
xople following after them like mules offer a
«se. What do the carpet-baggers care for
isn tut to get their votes? Nothing. After
i*F have stole all they can oarry, which won’t
along at the lick they are going now, they
* off foi tho North whero they come from.
“ Well, what are you going to do about it?
‘Tm going to Washington City and get np
ifare ’em all and talk wtth my mouth. I m go-
3f to tell Grant just what sort of d—d thieves
ti ia office here. If he don’t fix a change the
publican party is gone np in South Carolina,
to can’t tote everything. If tho present aint
Wont pretty quick the colored peoplo will
Sits with their old masters, who, after oil, are
itir best friends, and clean out tho whole cap
'll from top to bottom.”
Here a colored man took issue with him, and
left the Major spouting and splurging at a fn-
sctu rate. Ae I went out I heard the queanon
3 to him, “Didn’t you vote for Scott?
Tes ” ho said, “but I wish my old master was
here now to give me thirty-nine lashes for
'suob ones as ho used to give me in tho days
slavery.”

not mention it (he probably ^forgot it,) Geary
himself has “aspirations.” It is already whis

When Ingomar went down in the woods,
Yankaster, in its exultant moods,
Gave Hoss carouses and costly houses,
And bales of honors and other goods.

To dub him Joshua of tho eclipse.
And silken fettera, and spotted setters,
And odds at poker, and faro chips,
So far the grateful people went
They ventured to make him president,
And all Yankaster low doffed its caster,
As in the palace he pitched bis tent.
His nominations they heard with awe;
Tho first were all his brothers-in-law!
To sea him interpolate such in the pnrplo,
The Ingomar party roared “Ha! ha!”
And next his cousins to far degrees
Wore clad in ermine and golden bees;
His needy uncles wore fine carbuncles,
And bathed in marble to drown their fleas.

For want of more heirs ’twas an end of affairs,
And the Hoseea went out ’midst a general grin.

- Tbe Hfngl I simian’s Fox ’Cnt. .
The Washington Gapitol has a racy account
of how the Joint High Commission were treated
to a fox hunt—a real fox and real (carriage)
horses having been provided for the occasion.
Tho weather was bad, unfortunately. As a pun
ning friend of our Washington correspondent
remarked, “ it continued to reynard (rain hard)
all day.” But the jovial fox ’onters managed to
keep ns wet both within and without and so
staved off the influenza and rheumatism. On
arriving at the residence of Mr. Suit, six miles
from Washington, where the hunt was to take
place, the hunters punched and lunched—the
punches being ’ot, as the weather was “blarsted
cold, you know.” Then the party mounted, the
fox was turned out by tbe boy and started with a
vim, and the honnds let loose. Tho Patriot tells
the tale of this lively dido:
“The fo; “
round the
kept after him, it was hard to tell whether the
hunters were chasing the fox or the foxehasing
the hunters. As for the hounds, they unfortu
nately took after some Southdown mutton that
they happened to see in a distantfield, and they
didn’t get back for a week.
“The hnnt continued around the house, and
the fox wonld undoubtedly have been caught
but for the siDgular and eccentric conduct of
the horses. Whenever spurred to their noblest
efforts they would stop and kick, and several
English noblemen and all the members of the
Joint High Commission were sent sprawling
npon tho grass. We are pained to write that
Earl de Grey’s gallant steed and General
Shenck’s carriage horse fell down, and when

THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.
“What about the next Presidency, Governor?
Grant is moving heaven and earth to secure
Pennsylvania. I suppose he will receive your
support.”
“Will he? Iam glad to find somebody who
thinks so (with a sigh.) Grant has not done the
fair thing by me; yet I have no hard feeling—
oh, no.”
“Do you think Cameron is giving him any
assistance?”
“Cameron has politically killed every one he
has taken hold of.. Why, Grant told me once
that he understood Cameron thoroughly; that
he spumed him as he spumed the dust under
his feet, yet now we witness the two seemingly
working in perfect harmony. Cameron has
Grant under his thumb.”
“Grant thinks that Cameron is doing him an
immense amount of good in Pennsylvania.”
“Well, Cameron has tho most convincing
manner abont him; ho would deceive tho very
elect. If you should go to him and ask him
about his aspirations for the future he would
say to you,
LOOK AT MY GBAY HAIT.S:
I have no ambition; I only wish tho perma
nent good of tho whole party. You would
leave him thinking ho was tho worst abused
man in the country. I never saw his beat.’
Did yon and Cameron ever have a misun
derstanding?” t .
“Yes, we did. Cameron came to mo just be
fore my second nomination, and wanted mo to
appoint certain men to office whom he named
to me. They were the very scum of the party.
I heard him out, however, and when ho had
finished, I arose and said to him, ‘General Cam
eron,
DO YOU THINK I AM CRAZY,
Or are you crazy yourself?’ He replied, very
coolly, ‘I neither think you are crazy, and I
know I am not,’ Well, I simply said to him
that under no consideration would I appoint the
men he named. He got in a towering rage,
Said ho, ‘We’ll have to nominate some one who
can honor his friends.” Said I, ‘Yon can’t beat
me; Iam going to be nominated.’ ‘Well, said
he, we’ll try that in the field.’ Ho left me,
fuming and raging, but I remained in my room
and determined to let him run his course,
came to Philadelphia and took a suit of rooms
at the Continental, and Cameron’s party engaged
rooms at the Giratd, just across the street.
They Began to put up a job on me. I beard
they were spending money pretty freely; finally
I got mad and went over to their committee
room and just told them I defied them, and
dared them to nominate any one but me. I
would expose every man of them (for I had
every one of them under my thumb), and when
I finished I brought my hand down on the table,
and when I struck it the room fairly shook. I
meant all I said. I need not ask if you know
how the elections went; that is a thing of the
Pa <‘I understood that Grant disappointed you
in regard to a visit he was to make you.
“Yes, ho did. I met him and invited him to
come to Harrisburg for a visit. Ho said he
would as soon as Congress adjourned. I told
him ho could have a quiet and, I hopod, a pleas
ant sojourn at HarriBbnrg. I wonld bring the
best people in the Slate to meet him. We would
ride around the country in the afternoon and
bo to ourselves, or with company, just as he
pleased. He seemed to be greatly elated with
the idea, and I (I will be frank) was just as
much pleased to have him come. __ I went home
and made arrangements to give him half of my
house for his residence during his visit to Har-
risbnrg. I did not care if I spent a year s sala
ry, §5,000; yes, I would have spent §10,000 to
have made hi3 visit a success. I intended to
make it tho event of my administration. Every
thing was being perfected in good style, on the
quiet (I am glad now I did not make it known,)
for the President’s visit, and I was congratulat-
for the President’ „ - ,
ing myself on the pleasure he would reoeive at
Harrisburg, when I received intelligence one
day that he was off with Cameron and a num
ber of Philadelphians on a fishing excursion.
When I heard that Cameron had captured him
I knew there was no further hope of & visit to
Harrisburg. I stopped the preparations and
telegraphed to the Northern part of the State
that I would -leave at once on a tour of inspec
tion to the prisons, school-houses, and other
public buildings, and I started.”
“Did Grant and his friends catch many
fish?” ,
“I don’t know; bnt to use a slang term, they
all got
AS DBUNK AS FIDDLERS,
And had to help eaoh other home by turns.
“I understand that Commodore Foote had
f-ikpri to Grant, with tears in his eyes, until he
had induced him to ceaso drinking, at least all
tho ‘moral’ histories of the war say that he did.
“History is one thing; whisky is another.
“You no not, then, place muoh faith in Cam
eron’s desire to help Grant to a re-election?
“None whatever. I see it stated that Came
ron has taken Blaine in hand for tho next Pres
idency. What do you think of it?’
“I don’t pnt much trust in the report It is
possible, however, that Cameron has use for
Blaine, and is flattering him with vague prom-

Letter from Southwest Georgia;
Albany, April 15,1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : I submit
the following items, colleoted during a week’s
jonmeying in this section:
Of course I came down via the Southwestern
Railroad; unfortunately for the publio it is the
only way to get here. The road bed is in very
good order as far dawn as Fort Valley, but the
moment the train runs on the wing of the road
that has no competition, the everlasting flip-i-
ta-flap musio peculiar to flat rails and chairs
commences. Tho passenger coaches, too, on
that his aristocratic nose was severely skinned.
When e»Attomey General Hoar was thrown,
he lost some time looking for hisspectacles, bnt
when fonnd, he continued the chase on foot.
Being somewhat bewildered he turned and ran
in the opposite direction of the hunt, and
spoiled it all by meeting the fox instead of
taking after him, as he ought to have done, like
a genuine fox-hunter. As it was he nearly
frightened the fox to death by making the poor
animal believe that a low sort of stratagem had
been resorted to instead of fair fox-hunting,
such as he had been accustomed to.
“As it was, the animal headed off in this ex
traordinary way, took refuge in the stable yard,
and was about hiding himself in a hen-coop,
when the ex-Attorney-General caught it by the
tail, and holdiBg on with great vigor,- found
himself possessed of the bushy narrative, for
the fox was so weak and exhausted that he let
his tail go. All the gallant hunters rode up, and
surrounding the ex-Attomey-General, blew their
tin horns while congratulating him upon secur
ing the brush.”
“After this there was more lunch, more hot
toddy, and then all mounted and went off in
search of another fox. There was no fox to be
fonnd, because Suit had only hdught one. He
said that if he had known that fool Yankee was
going to put an end to the sport in that way, ho
would have had another fox, so as to have a
real, good, long hunt.”
Our correspondent sends us this:
“Our incident of the excursion does not ap
pear in any of the .published accounts, though
iit is food for the Washington gossips. It ap
pears that a certain elevated dame, not alto-
golhor diseoRnoolpd with the AwGriC&H hftlf 01
the Joint High Commission, became seriously
affected by the rain, the champagne, the chilly
weather or the hot punches, and ‘went on’ at
the dinner table at a fearful rate. She is said
to have confided to her neighbor that she was
dreadfully disappointed in the Britishers, that
they were horrid ugly men, and that Sir Ed
ward Thornton waB the only good-looking
Englishman she had ever seen.”
Moral (which is addressed to the ladies
solely).—Don’t endeavor to keep pace with fox
hunting Englishmen at the lunch and dinner
table.
Speculation.
The following curious communication ap
peared in a recent issue of the New York Times:
BUSINESS RISKS AND REWARDS.
I am over 60 years old, in active business,
and have been so since I was 17 years old; and
since 25 years old on my own individual account,
or as a member of prominent firms in this city
and the West. I am a close observer, and have
been a prominent and bold operator in cotton,
Western produce, Southern produce, stoclaand
real estate in this city. Unfortunately for my
purse, it has only been within a few years past
that I determined to cut adrift from the golden
illusions of stocks and cotton and to concentrate
my remaining depleted means and tho attention
of my now remaining years upon judicious
turns in real estate. I have been a close ob
server of men and of tho individual character
istics of prominent, lucky and bold men; have
watched their gradual rise, culminating in glory,
in country seats, horses, European tours, eto.,
eto., and in a few months thereafter seen tho
stock descending rapidly and surely to the
ground. I have also estimated chances on sim
ply ten years’ active use of brains and capital,
in the chief leading sources of speculation, and
now submit them.
In round figures, from the old data I refer to,
I estimate as follows:
Start fifty educated business men, 25 years
old, and supply each with §20,000 to use for ten
years, and at that period to report their actual
position. The probable returns would be:
In stocks—One man, at that period wonld be
worth $200,000; two men abont §40,000 to
$50,000; two men about $20,000 to $25,000;
forty-five men bankrupt.
In grains and Western produoe—One man at
that period would be worth abont $100,000; one
man $75,000 to $80,000; three men §50,000 to
$75,000; five men $40,000 to $50,000; ten men
$25,000 to $40,000; ten men §10,000 to §20,000;
twenty men bankrupt.
In cotton—One man at that period wonld be
worth about §150,000; one piau about $100,000;
one man about $75,000; five men about $40,000
to $50,000; three men $30,000 to $40,000: ten
men $5,000 to $10,000: twenty-nine bankrupt.
In sugars, tea and foreign produce, one man,
at that period, wonld be worth about $150,000;
one man, $125,000; one man, $100,000; three
men, $G0,000 to §75,000; five men, $40,000 to
§50,000: four men, $30,000 to §40,000; ten
men $20,000 to $25,000; ten men, §10,000 to
§15,000; fifteen men bankrupt
In real estate in this city and environs, one
the Eufanla line are anything but comfortable,
They are all untidy and badly ventilated affairs,
after the style of those that A. Ward called
“caravans of second-hand coffins.” But they
never lack for some one to ride in them. To
understand the situation fully it is only neces
sary to see the elegant palaoe coaohes belong
ing to the company that run between Macon
and Columbus,.carrying daily about half-a-doz-
en through passengers. I also learn that the
fare has been raised between some of the inter
mediate points on the road, and that persons
riding on freight trains aro charged, five cents
per mile. These are small matters, bnt they
enable the dear peoplo to gratify their propen
sity for grumbling. Times are hard, and the
public want to know if there is “none of Mrs.
Whitcomb’s Soothing Syrup inGiliad” for these
evils. I heard a gentleman remark, yesterday,
in commenting upon the ud just discriminations
against local patronage, mentioned above, that
“with the posthumous ideas of enable prede
cessor to draw on, a man may, by such man
agement crown himself a railroad king, bnt in
so doing he might incur the contempt of his
countrymen.” . .
“A-meri-cus," shouted Admiral Cheiry, show
ing his handsome phiz in the door a3 the caravan
of S. H. C.’s lumbered up to a commodious and
shapely depot, and came to a halt. An indis-
criminate rnsli for traveling bags and terra
firma ensued, which was met by a simultaneons
scramble to get in from the outside. After a
general mashing, of course, and derangement
of apparel tho crowd succeeded in passing
each other on the same track, and when the
transfer wa3 completed, and tho last mce young
man, with oiled ringlets and voluminous neck
tie, had inspected, and been inspected by the
last passenger in the hindmost car, the won
at courser stretched forth his arms, and sped him
away with precious freight of human hope and
despair, fried lunch and paste-hoard Saratogas,
happiness and misery, pouches stuffed with
the Telegraph and Messenger, mails, etc., and
I repaired to Cohen’s hotel to revel in the vaned
manipulations of passovor bread. Cohen s is a
new establishment, and a first rate place to stop
at. Travelers will find at it many comforts un
known to most of our Southern hotels.
I found Sumter Superior Court in session, his
Honor Judge Clarke presiding. I could leam
of no business of general interest to the public
on the docket. The bar is well represented.
Besides the local members I have met here Col.
Lanier and Judge Hill, of Macon; Messrs.
Crisp and Hudson, of Ellaville 5 Col. Wooten
of Dawson, Messrs. Schofield and Lloyd, o::
Montezuma, and Mr. Goode, of Preston. Court
will be in session again next week.
The meeting of the Georgia Medical Associa
tion, the proceedings of which you have pub
lished, was a very interesting one. I nevei
saw assembled together a more intelligent body
of men, and during the disoussions that ensued
I heard some very fiB.e specimens of forensic
eloquence. When the Association resolved to
admit into full fellowship the members of the
Atlanta Academy of Medicine, the Savannah
delegation bolted and withdrew. For a time
this created some excitement, but the members
soon regained their equilibrium and proceeded
with the business before them. The Savannah
delegation went home. “When doctors dis
agree, who shall deoiae?” The withdrawal
of the Savannah delegation necessitated the
eleotion of a new secretary. Dr. Stout, of At
lanta, was chosen. This worthy refused to al-
low tho Telegraph and Messenger reporter the
access to fhe minutes.
On Friday night the citizens of Americas gave
the Association a grand banquet, which I learn
was quite a pleasant affair. Eating, drinking
and speech-making was the order of business.
Drs. H. Y. M. Miller, McDonald, and others
made remarks, and the gcose hung generally
high.
Tho young gentlemen of the Eureka Club
gave a hop on Wednesday night which was the
most pleasant affair of the season. The ladies,
bless them, were out in force and with their
sweeteBt smiieB. The light fantastic was tnpped
npon to the musio of tho It&li&n bend* Gentle-
men of the E. O., I thank you for your kind-
“ May you live long and prosper.
The Orphan troupe will be in Americu3 on
Saturday, and the citizens are preparing to give
them a hearty welcome.
I learned this morning that a_ cyclone passed
through Sumter county last night, which de
stroyed much valuable property. Houses, trees
and fencing fared badly, and it is said that sev
eral peoplo were killed by a falling house.
I find business generally at a stand-still in
Albany. I am stopping with Messrs. Collier &
Oheevis, of the Towns House. It i3 generally
known that Collier can’t be beat as a caterer,

There is no remarkable change in the posi
tion of the belligerents in France. Each party
holds its ground, and the struggle promises to
be more protracted than was first anticipated.
Further efforts to bring about a peaceful solu
tion have utterly failed. In Paris the reign of

In Lyons and Marseilles tolerable order prevails.

Before the -Paris insurrection bad assumed
its present formidable proportions, leagues were
forming in the large French cities for the pur
pose of ostracising all Germans in France. The
members of the league pledged themselves
neither to employ any German nor to maintain
any connection whatever with any German bus
iness house. The plan, were it to be executed
at all, is puerile iu the extreme. Among those
who have carried the programme into effect are
several naturalized Frenchmen of German birth
or descent Monsieur de Rothshildt is said to
have dismissed all of his German employes, a
great many of whom had been staying with him
for a number of years. Yet the founder of the
House, Anselm Rothschildt, was bom, lived and
died in Germany, while there is still one branch
established in Frankfort on the Main, another
in Vienna, Austria. Were it possible for Franoe
to protect herself by a Chinese wall against all
German intercourse, both countries would nat
urally suffer, though tho French wonld be the
greater losers. The annual exports to France
from the Zollverein amount to about 266,500,000
francs. The most important of these artioles
are cattle, grain, coals, wool, raw hides and
timber. No more than 12 to 15 millions of manu
factured goods are sent from Germany to
Franoe. On the other hand, the latter countiy
annually exports to Germany a variety of arti
cles to the value of about 215,000,000 frauos,
consisting chiefly of laces, ribbons, silks, hard
ware, jewelry, woolen goods, fashions and arti
oles de Paris. Thus, while, comparatively, it
may be easy for 1 the Germans either' to do with
out the French goods or to procure them some
where else, France will find the loss of raw
material formerly imported from Germany,
very inconvenient.
When, after the battle of Sedan, the Parisians
could doubt no longer that the modern “van
dals” were marching on the “center of civiliza
tion,” everything was put into a state of de
fense, and orders were given to destroy all vil
lages within a vast range around Paris, that the
forte might be able to sweep the whole sur
rounding country. Thousands were thus driven
out of their homes and compelled to seek a shel
ter in the capital. Alexander Flan, a dramatic
writer, owned a charming home in Neuilly;
where by dint and industry he had oollected a
very select library, which he prized as his
greatest pleasure; there was hisTusculum. One
day the officers of the Republic came to notify
Tiim that he had to move, as the Prussians were
advancing. “May they eome! I will stay
here!” “You have to remove this very night
still 1” “ To-night ? And I want eight days only
to move my books!” said Flan, casting a dole
ful glance around his house and garden. “Then
the book3 will remain here.” Poor Flan hur
riedly saved some linen, entered the first hotel
he passed in Paris and retired silentlv to bed.

All parties of the German Parliament, the
Clericals only excepted, have unanimously ap
proved of the draft prepared as a reply to the
speech from the throne. The clerical members
are finding fault with that passage of the pro
posed address which, emphatically, upholds the
principle of -non-intervention and protests
against all possible Roman crusades for the
resurrection of the anoient Roman-German
Empire. This is the text of the passage in
question: “Germany, by her interference with
the life of other nations, laid once the founda
tion of her decay, her rulers following the tra
ditions of a foreign origin. Now she has
reaohed the height of her power, because the
spirit of the people, aimed for defense, only
inclines unchangably to works of peace. The
new empire will be bound by this same trait of
culture. In the intercourse with foreign na
tions it claims for its citizens the reBpeot which
right and custom accord to every foreigner.
Else, however, not influenced by thefluotoating
courses either of like or dislike, Germany will
follow her peaceful aims, suffering eaoh nation
to aspire after unity, and acknowledging that
eaoh State has a right to find the form of Gov
ernment best suited to its wants. The days of
intermeddling, we hope, will never come back
again under any pretext or in any shape!” As
this declaration, of course, refers also to tho
Papal Question, the leaders of the clerical
party deem it an injustice towards the Head of
one hundred and fifty million of Catholics which
is ill-becoming the dignity of the Empire. They
propose to bring in another address or to amend
the passage in question.

TBS PEARL FISHERIES.
New Yorkers In Search or a Fortune—A
Cargo or Pearls In John Street.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser.]
It will be remembered that not long ago a
number of New Yorkers conceived the idea of
substituting improved diving apparatus for the
naked bodies heretofore employed in the pearl
fisheries of Panama Bay and Lower California,
believing that they had merely to descend to
the bottom of the ocean and' scoop up treas
ures bjr wholesale.. They conceived a plan by
which it might be possible to operate, at great
depths, wholly independent of the free atmos
phere above. The gentlemen interested ex
pended large sums of money in building a sub
marine monster of boiler iron, which they for
warded to its destination across the Isthmus, in
sections, then reconstructed and made their ex
periment—bat not their fortunes. At the first
trial the thing struck a rook forty foot below
the surface and lodged, and then slid off, taking
a second plunge thirty feet further. The seven
men who were inmates of the machine do not ap*
pear to have been in the least discomfited by this
occurrence, as they spent sixhours serenely sur
veying the ocean world abont them, and at pleas
ure quickly rose to the surface. This happened
ninety miles from .Panama, near the Island of
St. Elmo. The next exploit was to secure a
quantity of pearl oysters and return to New
York, where the beautiful bivalve is now on de
posit, and may be seen at a store in John street.
The engineer of the “Pacific Pearl Company,”
by whom this success was achieved, is now
in [this city, and his submarine iron diver
is safely moorfed at St. Elmo. Meanwhile, as
we are informed, fabulous wealth awaits those
who, with perseverance and capital, may proa
cute the search for pearls. There is no reason
to doubt the riohnessof the pearl fisheries of
the Paoific. As conducted heretofore, the search
for these gems is of the most primitive kind.
The divers remain under water but a few sec
onds, and do not descend further than twenty-
five feet, coming np in nuoH a state of exhaus
tion that four or five dives each day is the full
limit of their -ability. They not only suffer
from the pressure of water, even at that mod
erate depth, but are liable to be devoured by
sharks. Notwithstanding these embarrassments,
the Pacifio coast has yielded splendid pearls.
One from Margarita, possessed by Philip Q of
Spain, was valued at no less than $150,000, and
the Spaniards who first visited America de
scribed the native chiefs as decorating their
bodies with a profusion of pearls.
Precisely in point is a paragraph just at hand,
from the Ocala (Fla.) Banner, which says: ‘ ‘The
readers of the early history of Florida will re
member that De Soto found pearls a common
ornament among the natives. "Where they came
from was a mystery, until now unsolved. Dr,
Kidder, of Sumter county, has the honor of be
ing the discoverer of the secret. He fonnd the
mussels Of thQlakfta to oonlain many j%**-rla_
out or one snellhe obtained eighty-four pearls,
and altogether he has collected three thousand,
which have been sent to the Smithsonian Insti
tute for examination.” The famous discoveries
of pearls in fresh water mussels of New Jersey
will be distinctly remembered. The most re
markable found there exceeded an inch in diam
eter, and report says it was sent by Tiffany &
Co. to Europe, where it came into possession of
the Empress Eugenie. It is quite probable, as
the Florida editor conjectures, that pearls for
merly supposed to have originated in the ocean
were really the product of fresh water, but the
latter are much inferior to those of marine orig
in, and of the real sea pearl none surpass the
Oriental.
The United States Government haring made
overtures some time ago for the purchase of the
American pearl diving appartus above described
(to be used as a torpedo boat or sub-marine
ram), we may not hear of it again in the em
ployment for which it was intended, bnt Ameri
can enterprise is not subdued by temporary dif
ficulties, and searches in the Pacific may be
resumed ere long with renewed energy.
General Presentments or. tbe Grand
Jury or Crawford County,
We, the Grand Jurors sworn, chosen and se
lected for the county, of Crawford, at the April
Term of the Superior Court, beg leave to make
the following presentments:
We have examined carefully the books and
accounts of the respective county officers and
find everything in systematic order and proper
vouchers for all expenditures. The Ordinary’s
books we find badly behind previous to 1870,
and since that time they are kept properly and
fully up with the business.
The Clerk’s books are kept in a very neat and
orderly manner.
The Treasurer’s books and acoounta are kept
in a moat satisfactory manner, showing proper •
vouchers for all disbursements. Bnt we find
the Tax Collector for the years of 1866-67 is
still in arrears to the county, and we recommend
the proper authority to see to it.
The roads in the lower portion of the county
aro in good order, but the roads in the upper
portion of the county are in a very bad condi
tion, and we recommend the proper authorities
to look after them.
We also reoommend the ereotion of a bridge
across Ulcohachee oreek, on the publio road
leading from Hickory Grove to the Old Agency
by Macedonia church.
We find repairs needing on both Court-house-
andjail.
In oar financial depression and impoverished
condition we will not reoommend the levying of
any tax for the poor and publio school fund for
educational purposes.
We reoommend that the Ordinary, at as early
a day as practicable, take the proper steps for
the erection, in our county, of a poor house
for the benefit of the poor and those of our oit*
izens dependent upon the county for support.
We recommend the Ordinary to assess a tax
of 50 per cent, for county purposes; bridges,
25 per cent.; insolvent and criminal cost, 25
per cent., and jnry duties 20 per oent.
We do most earnestly reoommend that the
Ordinary do not levy a tax to defray any of the
expenses of the so-called District Coart. In
our opinion that concern has no legal existence.
If. we are not mistaken in our opinion we axe
confident that a court oreated.a3 that one was,
and with such judicial officers, will not be able
in the present condition of society in our coun
ty to do anything for the public good. We are
now comparatively free from crime, and if that
court should continue we fear that its very pro
ceedings would be productive of crime.
It was created against the will of good, true
men of our county, as we' believe, and so far
as our suggestions may be binding upon our
immediate Representative for the next Legisla
ture, we say to him it is his duty to labor in the
Legislature for the repeal of the odious law
creating the court. _ . : .
To Ins Honor, Judge Cole, we would beg
leave to return our most sinoere thanks for Ms
explicit charge to us, his kindness to U3 as a
body, and would ask that Providence may long
continue his useful life and bright example.
To Solicitor General Crocker we return our
thanks for his promptness and kindness.
We recommend, finally, that these present
ments be published in the Telegraph and Mes
senger.

The Xenia (Ohio) Torchlight says that some
twenty ladies presented themselves at the Yellow
Spring poll, and demanded of the Judges of
"Election that their ballots be received.- The
Judges declined, and invited them into a room
to discuss the matter. They complied, and for
su hour the matter was argued pro and con. The
ladies insisted that the Fifteenth Amendment
repealed so muoh of the Fourteenth Amendment
as would seem to refuse to women all the rights
of citizenship. The trustees read the law, and
said they must adhere to their oath. The ladies
called upon a Professor of Antioch College to
argue their case, whioh he did at some length,
claiming that “ citizen ” meant both men and
women. Bat it availed nothing. The trustees
refused, whereupon the ladies withdrew, saying
they wanted the pleasure of casting their votes
on the table if not in the ballot box; when it
was Observed that the Board of Trustees would
keep the ballots as memorials of the first
attempt of ladies to vote in Ohio.

The Art of Exasperation.
Some people possess an unconscious art of
exasperation whioh is almost a thing to admire.
We may suffer from it more than words can
tell, and yet there is a fascination in its fine
perfection; there is a feeling of inferiority on
the part of the sufferer that fills the soul with
envy. Bnt the admiration and envy are the af
ter-surge. In the presence of the artist, that
is the tormentor, there is only anguish and in
dignation.
We had occasion once to make some inquiries
at the advertising desk of the Daily Idiot. We
suppose the time occupied by our conversation
with the clerk at that desk was not more than
two minutes and thirty-five seeonds, yet the
memory of those two minutes and thirty-five
seconds—be they more or less—we expect to
carry with us to our grave. It was-a season of
trial and temptation; of smothered passion and
resentment; of madness and misery, followed
by remorse. Wo did not want to kill the gen
tleman on the side of the counter. No! we are
naturally of a quiet disposition, with an uncon-'
querablo bias against murder. We merely felt
a gentle desire to crawl through the little glass
window at which we were talking, seize the
nape of that long, unlovely neok, and inconti- •
nently kick the advertising clerk of the Daily
Idiot. , , „
And pray, what had he done, you ask?
Well, he had “done” nothing, we suppose, nor
had he said much. The “subject-matter” of
discourse was entirely commonplace, a simple
business affair; nothing of an out-of-the-way or
exciting nature waa oalu on either ride: an ob
server might have failed to notice anything that
was at all u»oourteous in look or language. It
waB ouiy that frigid air of insolence; that way
of mating an honest man feel like a pick-pocket;
that inimitable art of exasperation.
We have often wondered how such people
get along in the world. We once cherished a
theory that their days of prosperity are soon
numbered, a brief basking in the sunshine of
success, and then they are cut down and perish
Eke tho flower of the field that withereth; ft
few years, at the most, of irritating arroganoe,
and the world wearies of them and flings them
aside forever. But we were mistaken. Alas!
no such moral can be pointed to the tale. They
live and thrive, have their salaries increased,,
rise to places of greater dignity as well as profit.
It is inscrat&ble dispensation. We may not
fa* spared, sensitive feliow-sufferers 1 We may
not even kiok— exoept in a mild, metaphoric
\pay—we can only mingle our plaints and our
sympathies. We can only cherish a vain wish
that we were great men traveling incog.—some
thing like a President of the United States, or
an ex-Emperor, or a millionaire with an idio-
pathy for purchasing newspaper establishments
and turning insolent subordinates into the
streets.—From “The Ola Cabinet,” in Scrib

The True Polioy op the Conservatives.—
Commenting upon Senator Morton’s recent not die out or degenerate
speech, tho Norfolk Journal says
“Let the Conservatives of tho South meet
these issues of Mr. Morton frankly and prompt

ioy is peace, that our purpose is to prevent ex
cesses, not to perpetrate them; and we shall
eleet tho next President by a majority that will
drive Radicalism from the field forever:
“The polioy of that party is plain. Let us
take warning now. They are endeavoring to
drive us back upon dead issues. Let ns force
them to fight on their own reckless violations of
liberty and law.”
