A Hidden Treasure.

The Emperor Maximillian, says a Ger.
man journal, has a chance OF digging out
! hidden treasure. The highly romantic
story was as follows: When Napoleon l.
iethroned the Bourbons in Spain, the
Mexicans, whose eyes had been opened
by Humboldt to the fact that they were
nation Of seven millions and subdued by
eighty thousand Spauiards, becaule en-
couraged and threw off the Spanish yoke
The Vice King sent during the revolu-
ton four millions of gold pieces, together
with other numerous treasures, to Madrid.
This happened in June, 1903. The es-
cort was, however, attacked by one hua-
dred men and mastered save one cavalry
officer and few of his men, who acted in
concert with the robbers.
To avoid the vigilance of the Govern
ment, the bandits concluded to hide the
treasure in the ground, and to divide it
after the expiration of one year. At the
foot of precipice one thousand feet high,
in hollow, deep in the mountain, was a
cave there the treasure was dragged, the
cave walled up by the same kind of rocks,
the intervals filed with earth and plant.,
and finally, little brook was directed in
such manner as to pass like cataract
over the place. Now, the robbers spread
out the rumor that the whole of the rob-
berry was invented by the Vice King him
self, and that he had brought the treasure
in safety. The person 50 accused was
called to account, and on the trial proved
that he had really been robbed Of the treas
ure.
Bat the robbers did not enjoy their
treasure, as already before the expiration
of the year they had either killed them
selves among each other or were defunct.
A German traveller named Muller, cele-
bratei by his climbing the Pic Of Orizlba,
learned the secret from the lips of an aged
dying Indian. The Imperial Government,
to whom the place has been pointed out
by Muller, is now about to search for the
treasure, as the historical fact seems to
justify the truth of the story. a...

some time when the countryman appeared,
saying that he only wanted to take walk
round the city in good suit of clothes,
and that he wanted "the picture" He
strongly protested his innocence of any at

and asked lady who was in the gallery
at the same time, to plead with the photo

seemed to soften the picture-taker's heart,
and the countryman was dealt leniently
with, paid for bis picture, and left the gal

Sovereigns Of Europe.

Since many Of the Sovereigus of Europe
have either crossed to our continent or
contemplate doing SO, and no preventative
measures are on the tapis here, the follow

in Europe forty three reigning Sovereigns,
not including those who possess titles

to the Roman Catholic religion, but one
of that unmber is excommunicated thir-

SPRING FASHIONS.
Opening Day in New York City.

The preparations for the spring open
ings this year were more universal, and
certainly more laborious and elaborate,
than they have been for some years
past; and it is not surprising that the ex
hibitions should show evidence of this in
the greater interest and variety of the dis
play. Never before was there seen such
lavish expenditure, such disregard of ex-
pense, as now. Never was there such uni
versal extravaganza in dress as now pre-
walls. The evidence of it meets the eve
at every turn. No one can walk down
Broadway without becoming aware of it.
No one can gaze into the shop windows with
out becomingaware oft No one can look
at the groups of magni6cently attred ladies'
and doubtit. Splendor is the order of the
day, and the more costly an article is the
more certain it is to find purchaser.
This taste for expense displays itself not
only in the quality of the material, but in
the profusion and elaborateness of orna-
mentatiou, which is srapidly assuming the
proportions Of a mania among our fash
ionables.
BoNNETs.
The change taken place in bonuets
since our last notice of those designed for
summer wear has been so thorough and
radical that it seems ludiorous to retain
the name.
1t would have prevented confusion of
ideas and rendered greatly to preserve a
desirable connection between sound and
sense it we had abolished the term bonnet
altogether and substituted another in its
place, and coined one for the elegantly
useless and stylish nondescript that this
season occupies the place and usurps the
name of the old and time houored bonnet.
1t is absurd to call by the same name two
things unlike in every essential never
thel'ss, for want of new name, we must
commit that absurdity and call the new
style Ut headgear bonnet All that re.
mains of the old bonnet, however, is d.
minutive fauchou shaped front piece,
which serves as a basis for ornamentation,
and to which is generally appended a be-
wIlderlng mass of lace or pensile spray or
float ribbons, 80 disposed as to harmo uize
with the present style of wearing the hair.
"Waterfalls" and "Grecian curls' have
driven trimming to the back of the bonnet,
leaving the front and brim, towards which
1t conVerged but recently almost denuded
OF ornament. AS if to render the dissin-
llarlty more complete between the old and
new styles, the chapeau Lilliput,, as we
may call Fashions last creation, will be
worn frequently without strings, those
erst-whie Indispensable appendages being
drawn backwards and tied under The wa
tertall.
The materials used in the composition
OF bonnets for the coming season are trim
ming lace, flowers and ribbons. 1t is
perhaps worthy of note that narrow rib
bons are in high favor this season, and
that for purposes Of back trim ming they
have fairly driven all others out Of the
market.

THE INDEPENDENT FARMER.

Let sailors sing of the briny deep,
Let soldiers praise their armor,
But in my heart this toast I'll keep,
The Independent Farmer.
When first the rose in robe of green
Unfolds its crimson lining,
And round his cottage porch is seen
The honeysuckle twining;
When buds of bloom their sweetness yield,
To bees that gather honey,
He drives the team across the field,
Where skies are soft and sunny.
The blackbird clucks behind the pillow,
The quail pipes loud and clearly,
Yon orchard hides beyond its bough,
The home he loves so dearly;
The gray old barn doors bright unfold
His ample store in measure,
More rich than heaps of boarded gold,
A precious, blessed treasure;
While yonder in the porch there stands
His wifethe lovely charmer,
The sweetest rose on all his lands
The Independent Farmer.
To him the Spring comes dancingly,
To him the Summer bushes;
The Autumn smiles with mellow ray,
His sleep the Winter bushes.
lie cares not how the world may move,
No doubts or fears confound him
His little flock are linked in love,
And household angels round him;
He trusts to God and loves his wife,
No griefs, no ills may harm her
He's Natures nobleman in life

original; you may fearlessly wear the most
outre, but if you have any regard for the
opinion, of the world, trim it some way
Trimmings are indispensable, and the
more you can put on the better. It is i'm
possible to particularize where there are
so many varieties but the pyramids, the
gothic panels, the scroll patterns, are all
elegant and all popular. Cord is getting
into favor, and makes very effective skirt
trimming. Gimp is emerging from the
obscurity to which it has been for some
time consigned, and we doubt not it will
soon be reinstated in its former position.
The rage for trimming is so great that
not satisfied with its usual and legitimate
field for displaying the dress, it has seiz.
ed upon the jupe, and there it luxuriates.
In fact the jupe is quite noticeable fea-
ture in lady's dress nowadays, and the
ornamentation and trimming displayed on
it challenges attention. It's bright colors,
its intricate braidings, its jet drops, its
bows Of ribbon, and its futed founces,

We had almost forgotten to mention
the gored skirt, or rather dress, for the

1t still retains its place, but does not ad-
vance in popularity, for good and sufTi-
aient reasons. There are very few ladies
who could successfully stand the trying
ordeal they would be subjected to in wear
ing one Of these dresses. They are the
most elegant style Of dress for those who
Jan wear them but, alas, for those who
rashly undertake to put them on without
the necessary qualifications. The prover-
bal "malice of friends" will soon con
vince them of their mistake.-N Y Her.
