PACIFIC PEARLS. on—— The Pearl-Fisheries of Lower Cali- fornia-Somé of the l:g.n Encountered .| | Baceustered by New York ferall On the coast of Lower California an important industry has been develop- ed by the pearl fisheriesof that remote region. Five merchants and a thou- sand daring divers are wearing out their lives in supplying the markets of Paris, London, and New York with the rare and costly black pear], which is found jn a state of great perfection in the deep waters off La Paz.The latitude is o little south of Key West, in Floridn, and not far north of Ha- *Sine: the recent Mexican fever began, an increasing public interest hasbeen taken in the resources of the anefent Empire of the Montezu- mas,’ and the gold and sil- ver and other presious - prod- ucts of -that land are exciting much curiosity among American capitalists. As the pear fisheries of Lower Cali- fornia belong to Mexico, they will of course rank among the other- natural riches of fhat _ocountry. Chief-Engi- neer Magee, of the United States navy, who has lately returned from the Gulf of Galifornia, was found at the Fifth Avenue Hotel recently, in tle elm tree, which the neighbors christened the Lincoln elm. It was planted at the day and hour of Lin- coln’s_inauguration, It stands now a tree of fine proportions, about sixty feet high, in front of the Wetherbee residence, which was then Mr. Morris’ houe.

Next came a furious mol- ten stream down the mountain towards Hilo.

The Mexican divers of the Gulf of California are said to be the most ex- pert in the world. They go down in- 10 deep water and remain bolow for & long time. In former times many men were lost in this perilous pursuit after submarine treasures. English diving suits are said to be the safest and most satisfactory and superior to the celebrated French armer, but American hose-pipes are unsurpassod. Several years ago a large number of divers lost_their lives in one _season because of the defective English hose-tubing. Since then thero have not beon many serious accidents. The loss of lifo caused by the exposnre and hardships of pearl- fishing_is lerable, and the men generally retire after a few years of active service to srcnd the rest of thaiy wretched days in trying to find relief for rheumatic paralysis which generally closes a pearl-fisher’s life. The lower currents of the sea at a depth of eigh- teen or twenty fathoms are very cold even in the tropigs, while the pressure is oppressive. The blood grows eold and thick, so that the joints stiffen, the muscles coutract and only the strongest_constitution can long sur- vive the hard-ships of the pearl-fish- ing, The divers sec a great many sharks, but, as a rule, they do not fear them, although they sometimes cut or break the pipes which supply the men with Sir Proud abevertidne danger most dreaded by the braye fisherman s the celebrated devil fish. “They are all we fear,” said the merchant, “*They lie near the bottom of the sea.

But_so long as a steamer, with her terrible consumption of fuel and her small capacity fora cargo, took as long a time on_the yoyage as a well-appoint- od packet ahip, commerce, could have nothing to say to tho mat- ter. Brains were all at wnrk, how- ever, both on the Clyde and_on - the on, and the Olyde grudged tho on none of the praise that reaulted from the first voyage of the Great Western from Bristol to New York in the unprecedented short time of thir- teen daysand a half. This was in 1838, when the experimental poriod of ocean steam mavigation was drawing ton clase. The day of the ship with paddles—and tho Great Western much as she surpassed _her predeces- sor, was essentially this—was at an end. It was on tho Clyde, and for the Cunard mail sarvice, that the idea of the ocean steamer was worked out. Stout bluff bowed vessels they were built with the solidity of frigates, and at a cost which nothing but an extrav- gant subsidy could justify. Well, how- ever, they did their work, burning coal omical days, to cuntemplate; jogging wut to sea deep laden in_placid indif- ference as to weather; jogging punc- tually into part with funnels white to the tap wilh it water, keeping up alone for ten years the thread of steam communication betweon the ald and the new world.

For wany years a little clique in this city assumed absolute ownership of the Inds on which are gull's eggs and rab- bits. Fffteen or twenty years ago the business of gather- ing eggs on the islands was profitable, The yied was large and the price high, as the domestic '¥ | fowl was not then much of a competi- tor. The egg monovoly grew arrogant and offensive as it grew rich, until the monopolists imagined they owned the group of izlands. At various times, parties who did not see upon what title the monopoly assumed to exercise control over the islands, sought to reap some of the profits by establish- ing themselves on the main_ island, but they were driven off by force of arms. Finally the monopoly insisted that the foghorn should not be sounded, as it frightonod the gulls ~ This lod to an inquiry as to what right the monopoly had on theisland, and extensive cor- respondence between the federal ofticials here and Washingtan deve- loped the fact that they were squat- ters an United States reserved terri- tory. An order was issued for their ejectment, and & warshal and detach- ment of twenty-four soldiers proceed- ed to the island. The order was read | to eleven egg-gathers,” who made na resistance, but packed up their etfoota and left o board a steaer, s that +ho island is now in passession of the government.
