Commercial Question. iSr'eH Through Stynuur SjHtctacle$. Whenever iu the tres of politics or the dearth of news the voice of a prudent counselor or of a sound thinker is needed it seems to have become a custom in-New York to arrauge for an interview with ex Goveinor Seymour, lie is a man of such simple habits and of so amiable a diso sition that there is rarely any difficulty of iiiidiiig him at hia home at the foot of the Deerfield hills, or of getting from him his opinion on subjects of current in terest. The talk at two interviews just had with1 him, -and reported in the New Yoi k Herald, related chiefly to his own State; its growth in trade and population, its canals and railroads, aud the local con tentious over them.; Mr. Seymour is no pe8imiHt ; lie. believes, in the vitality f iiepuoiieau insiiiuiious ami in me con servatism of our form of government. In the feui'M expressed by merchants: of New York of the loss of trade through the ac tive competition ofj rival cities he docs not share, nor does such comptition in spire him with any jealousy. He looks beyond the present to tlie still grander fit ure of this country, and he seen and tells his interlocutor that although other cities maj' share iu the prosperity, New York has uo reason to despond, j There is room enough aud trade enough and commerce enough for all. NVe are bnt at tho"begitining, as it were, of what; we are destined to become, j JYear by year ns the country (ills up aud fresh industrial forces are brought into the field of labor, the traffic of the railroads, canals and water ways will increase, and the iater-State and international commerce expand. He thinks but lightly of tho apprehensions expressed in the New York Legislature and by shippers of the probable diversion of the grain trade of New York to New Oi leaus by the channel of the Mississippi. He regards as far more dangerous the im pending c nipe.i ion by way of the St. Lav rence after the enlargement j of the Canadian cauals. "Doubtless," he says. 'r.thi Tan .be carried to New Orleans down the Mississippi on barges towed by steamboats cheaper than it can be con veyed to New York in any manner. But when it has got to New Orleans it may be where it is not wanted. Its distribu tion from New Orleans depeuds upon the foreign demaud for it which .may vary from year to year." New York,! there foe, is the better market, and , tpe .same may be .said of Haltiniore, because i cau command freight both ways. But . the point on which he laid the greatest stress was the expansion of our internal com merce. On this head he remarked: "Let us remember always that, however much it expands, the natural chanuels for it There cannot multiply in proportion. are bnt three, such channels from the sea board into the heart of the West. I Those are the Mississippi, the St. Lawrence and tlie Itudsou.n Outside of these it follows naturally that our . internal commerce must be carried, along the lines of our creat railways. These are not built for a day, or for a term of years, but for all time. Their future and the growth of the cities of which they are the terniiui are therefore assured beyond all peradven tare.

It was ijBthejtatomn of 1849 that Bennv Stephens, a little toy four years old! was lost in I the wild woods in ..... .-. , - j -.- , -.. - Camden county, Arka nsas. Tlie coun ty was new then, and the settlers few Mr. Stephens had moved from South Carolina, and settled in Catnden county ial 1848. There were only four of them Tn the family : Mr. ancf Mrs. Stephens, Mary, their daugliter, eight years old, and Benny, a bright eyed, beautiful boy. If there is one thing that creates a greater interest tlja n another, i r is; report that a child is lost.. - It doesntt matter whese.child recovery never saw any man or woman so dead to all good feeling as not to be inter ested in finding a lost child. That little word "lost?" containing only four letters, is one of the saddest words in the English language. Mr.Slephens was a farmer, and at the time his son was lost, was busily engaged gathering his cotton crop. The week before Benny was lost his mother had made for him his first pair of pants. The first pair of pants, particularly the first pair, of "gallows" breeches, is always an event in a boy's ife. Few boys ever forget it. Mon day morning of tlie second week in November, Mr. Stephens was up at an early hour and off to the cotton field. As soon as the house and kitch en were set to rights, Mrs. Stephens eft Mary to mind her brother, and went to the lake a quarter of a mile Tom the house, to do the wa-liing for he family. While his sister was whel y absorbed with her dolls Benny gathered up his new pants iu one land and a biscuit in the other, and started in search of his mother. He in Used his way, and wandered on, not knowing whither he went. Young as he was he soon realized that he wok lost, and this produced 'a stite of ter ror in his faint mind just as it does in the minds of older peftplewhen they come to realize the same fact. Iu an hour after Benny left the house it was reported that he was lost. Mr. Ste phens aud his wife were wild with excitement. The news of a lost child spread like wild-fire from house to house, and soon everybody in ten miles, mounted or on foot, had joined in hunting for him. Mrs. Stephens, poor woman, sank down broken-heart -3 111.1 . . l rr i ea nnu nau 10 oe put to dcu. me women everywhere were pale with sorrow, and gathered their own chil dren about them, and each thanked God that her child was not lost. The children themselves, with bated breath and tearful eye, hung about mother's knee, and asked a thousand simple questions about Benny Stephens. Tlie whole country was stirred as by a mighty earthquake. All day Monday and what a long day it was men of all ages scoured the coufttry for miles in every direc tion. They called Bennv from every hill-top and aloug every valley. But he could not be found. The night fol lowing was not. very dark, .for the moon was just full, and not a cloud to be seen, but it was like the "blackness of darkness" to Mr. and Mrs. Stephens, wjip thought of noth ing but their child out in the wild woods, then infested by bears, wolves and panthers.. The poor mother saw her child lacerated and torn by some ravenous beast. During the long hours of the night men with torches continued the search for Benny Ste phens. The day came and went, but the lost boy was not found. Mr. Ste phens began to despair. Hope, the last and longest anchor of the soul, began to fail. Wednesday morning dawned, but the heavens were over cast with clouds, murky and lowering. The wind balmy and soft from the West had suddenly shifted to the North, and was blowing stifiTand cold. Every gust was like a siroco to the soul of Mr. Stephens and his wife. Some travelers wending their way along a trail, some fifteen miles from Mr. Stephens' house, saw a little boy running from them as if he had been a deer. Having beard the report of . t m .1 : t i ! a lost cnua mey gave cnasc, ana soon overtook him, and found him a fine looking boy with the wild stare of a roaniac in' his eyes. His first par r of it HbrtiwhnhVft Pr.b ifinsrlpokto is concerned for its recovery. Wei'" mnu: ouna pants was firmly grasped in his right hand... The travelers fastened on to ward the neighborhood where Mr. Stephens lived. ' They had not gone far befqre they met some of the men who were hunting Btnnj. They knew him at once, ind "JonmJt Found I" rang out in the air ia "accents soft and sweet arkisses on the Iipsf Iovj! nf Mr. Stephens, poor many was utterly vercome with joy, and would have hugged the life out of his hoy if friend ly hands had not kepi h tn from it. Several men started at once under whip and spur to carry the jeyful new to the tlisconselaie and broken hearted mother. TwoT qftliem aj mind!" When.Mrs. Stephens heard this the Sweetest sound that ever fell upon her ears she jumped up and ran out in the yard, and fell down completely overcome : with joy. She laughed, and cried, and prayed, and shouted aloud. The men had to re peat it over and over again, and it grew sweeter every time she heard it. At last Benny was brought in and his mother clasped him to her bosom, and covered him all over with kisses. "Benny, my darling Iwiy, you shall never get out of my sight again while you live. Her whole heart was on Benny then. Everybody was glad, and every heart was bottud to Benny Stephens by a new, strange asd strong er tie than ever before. But, boys, you are all "lost" in the wilderness of sin. God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are hunt ing for you. The angels from heav en are looking for you. , The Church on earth is deeply concerned for you. "Come back ! oh, come back, boys, come buck I" and when you do, some swift-winged angel will carry the news to heaven, and there will be more joy among the angels over yeur return than there is oyer ninety-nine just persons who are.nbt,lostv . Every Christian heart with feelings of true maternity will cling to you as Benny Stephens' mother did to him. Ged the Father will press you to his Ik som and say, "My son that was lest is found again." Oh, the exceeding richness and fullness of the lore of God. Gilderoytin Wesleyan Christian Advocate. Literally Katen Alive. Fatal Rctulls of a Howuzn Eating Haw Hani and Sausage, New York, March 29. The Tel egram this evening says-: "A startling discovery was made in Hoboken to day in the post-mortem examination of the body of Mrs. Adolpli Bon hols, of 211 Washington street. It was found that she had been literally eat en alive by trichinte, from the effects of which she died on Sunday evening. Her husband is now sick with the dis ease, and is not expected. to live. They were both taken sick shortly after eat ing some raw ham, which was pur chased of a neighboring, butcher." Dr. Kudlich, who was the attend ing physician, said : "It: is a real case of trichinosis, and: the result of the post-mortem can. be seen under the microscope. I was culled to see Mrs. Bon hols fifteen days ago I found her suffering from cramps tend great pain. She refused to eat ainUcould retain nothing on her stomach. I first thought the nymptoms showed chole ra, but in a few days her limbs com mciiced to swell and disclosed evi dences of an animal poisou. I ques tioned her closely, and found that she had been eating raw ham and sausage, and at once decided that fit was trich ina). I did all I ooultUer her. She gradually declined, and died in great suffering on Sunday uight. Her hus band has the same symptoms, and is how very aick. I am in hopes he will live through it, as he is a very strong man. The post-mortem satisfies us that the disease is trichinosis in its aggra vated f;rm, and that the .woman was eaten alive. I have had sixteen cases like this in my twenty-six years prac tice in Hoboken, and this is the first fatal case. It is the result of eating diseased pork." " The medical authoritcs of Hoboken are to hold a further examination in the case.

Many persons have no doubt been frequently struck with the great beau ty of artificial or imitation pearls. Those who make it their business to produce such articles or oruamenta tion have attained a hitrh degree of o - 0 perfection in their art ; so much so that in 1862, at the Loudon Exhibi tion, a Frenchman who was an adept at their manufacture, exhibited a row of large real imitation pearls alter nately ; and without close inspection, we are assured it would have been impossible even for a judge to have selected the real from the unreal. Sqme t ra'tulations and German works on this manufacture have recently been communicated to Land and Hater, and from these it appears that the art of making imita tion pearls is ascribed to one Jacquin, a chaplet and rosary manufacturer at Passy, who lived about 1680. Noti cing that the water after cleaning some white-fish (Leucitcus alburnus), a species of dace, was of silvery ap pearance, he gradually collected the sediment, and with this substance te which he gave the name of essence d?orient and with a thin glue made of parchment, he lined the glass beads of which he framed his rosaries, and afterwards filled them with wax. The method of making the round bead is by beating one end, which has. first been closed, ef a glass tube which then, when blown into two or three times, expands into a glebular form. The workman then separates the bead, places the end which has been heoted on a wire, and heats the other end. This process is called bor dering or enging. The best pearls are made in the same way, the holes of tie tube being gradually reduced by heat to the size of those of the real pearls, the workman taking each bead on inserted wire, and, by con tinually turuintjhra round in the flame of the lamp used, they become so true as te be strung as even as the Oriental pearls. The process of color ing the pearl is commenced by lining the interior of the ball with a deli cate layer of limpid and colorless parchment glue; and before it is quite dry, the essence of orient is in troduced by means of a slender glass blow pipe. It is then allowed to dry; the pearl is filled with wax, and if in tended for a necklace, is pierced through the wax with a red hat needle. The essence of orient, as it is called, is tlie chief ingredient in tho manu facture of the pearl. It is a very valuable substance, and is obtained from the fish aboveuamed by rub bing them rather roughly in a basin of I pure water, so as to remove the scales ; the whole is then strained through a linen cloth, and left for several days to settle, when the water is drawn off. The sediment forms the essence referred to. It requires from seventeen to eighteen thousand fish to obtain a pound of this substance ! Besides the French imitation pearls, as those above described arc called, there are the Roman pcarli. which I are made of wax, covered with a kind of pearly lustre. But these do not look so well as the French pearls; "while in a heated room, they are apt to soften and stick to the skin. A very extensive trade is now done inithe manufacture and sale of French art ficia! pearls. Pour Miles Finished. , The authorities of the W. N. Rail road have completed the road to the French Broad bridge, four miles from the Swahuanoa depot. They are ar ranging te push iron-laying on down the ri ver atonce. and tapidly iron. having lvwn nnt& The frame work for the bridge across the 1 rench Broad is being rapidly prepared, so by summer the road will be completed far down toward Paint Rock. We have also been assured that the threatened litigation between Mr. Best and other owners of the property will in no wise effect the progress of the work. We are pleas ed to learn that under the excellent management of the present officers, the business of the road has so increas-! ed as to justify special freight trains independent of the passenger traiu, and to greatly increase the speed of the passenger train. We hope the business may continue to increase, so that its owners may be gratified in making at an early day other much needed improvements. We are sure Col. Andrews and his associate offi cers will lose no opportunity to im prove the road in every way. Ashe ville Citizen. The new glass wick for petroleum and spirit lamps has been experiment ed with very carefully, according to the Technisches Organfar Gewerbt und HamhauUung, and with highly favor able results. The flame clings close ly to the wick, so that lighted lamps may be carried. about without fear of their being extinguished by sudden draughts, nor are any sparks libera ted from it. W'ith an equal amount of the wick turned up, a much bright er and clearer light is obtained than with cotton ones. The smoke is re duced, at least ten per cent, of oil is saved : there is scarcely any waste of the wick itself, and, as no portion is carboined, the troublesome trimming and cutting to which ordinary lamp burners are accustomed are useless. The Mississippi Valley States, and parts of States washed by the Missis sippi River and tributaries, have 148 Congressmen and 180 electoral votes; 24,863,852 population, raise $875,- 315,538 of agricultural products. In other words, these States and parts of States represent 50 per cent, of the Congressional strength, 48 per cent, of the electoral vote, 50 percent, of the population of the United States ; raise 58 per cent, of all the agricultural products of the country, have 64 per cent, of all the acres in cultivation ; raise 64 per cent, of all the cotton crop, 83 per cent, of the corn ; 67 per cent of the wheat, and 73 per cent.,of the hogs.

In society chronicles it is noticeable that a not inconsiderble number of promi nent Southern gentlemen are seeking and frequently winning the hands of Northern ladies. This, we hone is no slight to Southern ladies, who, in turn, are attracting Northern gentle men. Iu love, -it is said, we seek op posite, and if Southern gentlemen will quote poetry unto the blue eyed girls there can be no objection. Most of our Northern girls have brothers or cousins who. may become the hus bands of southern girls. N, Y. Her-' old. Gone Dekanoed. Mr. Wm, H.

On last Monday, as we are informed. several of the friends of the murder ed man went in search of Taylor, and coming in sight of him, near Pros perity (in the northern part of Moore), they fiieJ on him, one bullet grazing the back of his neck, but he escaped. It is said that Taylor is runnintr an illicit distillery, and that some days ago certain revenue officers made a raid on it, but injured it so little that he was using it again on the next day.
