! The MONEY DiGGERs.-The digging is still go
ing on upon Plumb Island, and persons are going
there every day in expectation of coming back
thousand dollars richer than they went. At any
rate there are fifty thousand dollars deposited in and
ABOUT that spot-either under the water or above It
and only twenty thousand dollars have been found.
The Dank should send on an agent to dig di.
rectiy, and We recommend ala loafers and idlers 10
start for Plumb Island instanter. 1t is not little
singular that this money should have remained bu-
RED for so long time without being discovered.
The general fact was notorious that it was buried
close to Plumb Inlet This was matter of history
and yet 20 one reflected that it was possible 10 find
IT by search Therei doubt that much of Captain
kidds money was buried on Long Island and in
Connecticut. He was known to have sailed often
up the Mystic River; and some time since an old
oak tree was cut down farm this river in the
centre of which, close to the ground was a vacant
space in this was a wedge, and on removing the
wedge, scroll of parchment was discovered, with
certain characters. Not being able to decypher
them, the farmer took the scroll to gentleman of
education, who was very poor He read the SCROLL
and said the marks amounted to nothing but by

always thought that the scroll told where SEINE of
kidd's money was buried, and that he dug it up
CHANGE COM srH OVER ALL.-One Of the most
remarkable changes that has lately taken place
ei'her in the moral, civil, religious or political
world, is the change that has taken place in the
Hon. Daniel Webster, OF Massac husetts by his
late journey to Europe. He is so changed that
even his most intimate friends in Boston could not
recognize him, without special introduction from
r. c. Winthrop. This is very strange My friend
Col Webb, went to Europe, (although he did not
get introduced to the Queen, Daniel Webster
did) and when he returned, he was Immediately
recognized by his enormous whiskers. 1 went to
Europe, to England, to France, saw Queen Victoria
and Louis Philippe, attended the coronation of one
and the elorfcation of the other; and yet, when /
returned. every body knew me, although had
cultivated an extra in the shape Of a pair Of whs-
kers. But poor DAME. Webster is so changed and
altered by the little Queen's smiles, the Lord May.

New ROUTE FROM LIVERPOOL TO New YoRK-
Espy and RedGeld may have made some wonderful
and counter-diseoveries in the sci
ence OF meteorolcgy and the art Of making wa
ter causing rain; and perhaps the wind does
blow to a centre, and perhaps not; bat Capt. Waite,
Of the packet ship England, has done more to~ards
navigation, for he has discovered q new route
from Liverpool TO this city which shortens the pas
sage ten or Gfteen!ays. He arrived here the 4th
inst in twenty days, and came this new road.
Anterior 10 this passage the time taken TO the
Atlantic has been forty to fifty days in the winter
season. and by referring back to files, Snd that
the England in
1887, 30 days. lsse, 80 days.
BY this we see the great advantages TO be derived
from this truly great discovery Hereafter with the
aid Of steam gas and wind shall be able to cross
the Atlantic in ten TO twenty-five days according to
crcnmstances. Steam ships will make the passage
in fifteen days, sailing packets in twenty days, and
balloons in five six days. This is the era for i'm
provements in navigation.
ISrELIIoIxcE FROM the U. :. Sur OHIo.-

the oil GERS but very much offended with Mrs. Hull,
who frequently commands the vessel and drives the
officers into the catacombs. One Of the officers
asked the Princssses IL they knew Miss Amcrigo
vespucci, who was in the United States. They re.
Piled that they knew her very well, aud that her
