For the Hawkeye Telegraph
Mr.. EDIroR:
Being as news is rather scarce, think it not
improper of mo to relate you short but true
story.
Along in the Seventeenth century, there lived
In the neighborhood of Amsterdam. in the
Netherlands, a very wealthy lady; for she was
the legal owner, at the death of her husband,
of number of merchant vessels which were
East Indies, besides great many acres of land.
|. 1t SO happened one time, that one of her cap
tains not being able to get load or cargo of
spices and cinnamon, brought home shipload
Of wheat. Upon informing his mistress of it,
she got very angry and ordered the wheat to be
cast into the Zeiderzee, which was done accor-
dinghy. The captain being noble uan could
| not keep mum, but told her ladysbip that the
Almighty would not leave such crime unpun-
| ished, that all her wealth was within reach of
| an Almighty and an All-seeing God, that He
was able to place her in the same circumstances
Of poor Lazarus, while on earth. She laughed
at the remarks of the captain, and told him that
that was just as impossible it was for her ever
to see that ring again, at the same time taking
costly ring from her finger and casting it into
the sea. Time passed on, and on certain
morning, she sent one of her servants to buy
fish and as the fish was opened there was ring
found in it. The ring was presented to the lady
who recognized it as her own, for her name was
engraven on it. She remembered the old cap
tains words. In one year from that time all her
ships were lost at sea, her land she sold, her
money was stolen from her, and, what is strange
to say, she died in poor house. Surely the
way Of the transgressor is hard. A shipload Of
wheat was to her not worth looking at. This
| is no fable although the story seems strange !;
yea and what seems more strange is this, that
up to this day at that very spot, where the
wheat was cast into the Zeiderzee, that every
summer may be seen the heads of wheat rise
above the surface Of the sea, and cover spot
of about Eve rods.
am a native of that country. l have not
seen the spot where the wheatappears, but there
are two meonow living one mile west of this
city, whose own hand have plucked some of the

~ It requires no great stretch OF the I'M
aginA.ion to suppose that the first sight OF the
sun, after the darkness Of the long Arctic night,
was joyous to DR.. Kane and his men. Akin to
their emotions though doubtless wanting in depth
Of interest, was the feeling with which many
rushed to front street yesterday to see the first
boat of the season--the William s. Nelson, a
large and fine stern wheel boat from st. Louis.
This Is very early opening Of navigation.
