A Gold Placer In a Paupcr,s Hat.

The Syracuse Journal tells o story
about two panper women living iu that
city, calculated to creute some interest ia
these days of the scarcity of gold. For
several years the women, mother and
daughter, had been mainly supported by
the poor muster, and had lived 10 . mis-.
erable shanty in the Fifth Ward. On
wednesday, the five year old boy of tho
daughter carried to school bsg Of coius,
which he had found behind the old clock
case, and which ho supposed were old
medals. He peddled them out among
the boys for apples and pocket knives
when the loss Of the "pocket" was dis
covered, the alarm Of the women may
we'll be imagined They speedily pro-
cured the aid of friend, a Mr. Deiane,
who, from information given by the little
boy, proceeded in haste to hunt up the
recipients Of the coins, and to rcposses1
them. This was the work of some hours.
and Of no little difficulty. 1t .ranspired
meanwhile, that these paupcr women
we're the owners Of between thirteen and
fnnrtAAn- hnadrsd- doll.rs ia gold! Thi,
occurrence has created much interest
and been the subject Of general discus
sion in the locality where il took place.
IL appears fhat these women, while thus
maintained by public charity, were hard
working aud industrious, and had sue.
ceeded 10 sccumulatipg quito a sum Of
money. This was all 10 gold, and tho
"pocket' or bag in which it was kent.
was the one the little boy had found con.
ceaIed IN an old clock, and had taken to
school, where he had so freely distributed
the coin.

would be- He lived in a region infest-
ed by very savage Indians. He always
took his gun with him when going into
the woods, but this time he found that
some of his fsmily had taken it, As he
would not go without it, his friends tan
talzed him by saying that there was no
danger Of the Indians; that he would not
die till his time come anyhow.
"Yes, yes" said the old fellow; "but
suppose l was to meet an Indian, aud his
time had come, it wouldn't do not to have
my gun"

p0-Mr. Richard Montgomery, an en-
gineer ut New York, proposes to build a
railroad upon pillars Of corrugated iron

road would cost less than million of
dollars, aud could be completed in three
months, without, during that time or
afterwards. interfering with travel on the
