SINGULAR Discovery OF HIDDEN TREASURE BY
INDIANs.-The CarTollton Ullinois) Democrat
says:-FOr some time past party of indians,
numbering fifteen, belonging TO the Cherokee
tribe, have been encamped upon the banks of
the Illinois river, ten miles from this place.
Their ostensible object was fishing, hunting,
etc., but IL appears from recent developments
that their chief aim was to secure hidden
treasure of seven urns of Spanish coin which
had been imbedded in the bluffs at that point
in years gone by by their ancient forefathers.
They seemed to be extremely cautious in their
manners, lest the pale face should discover the
cause of their presence In that particular To-
cality, and secure the coveted prize for which
they had travelled many miles. After diligent
search, which occupied some ten or twelve
days, they succeeded in finding the spot where
lay concealed the secret of their researches.
Little remains to be told. Suffice IL to say that,
after due exploration, their brightest anticpa-
tions were by far more than realized. The urns
OF gold and other sacred relics spoken of by
their Chiefs long since gone to the happy hunt
ing grounds" we're secured, and on yesterday
morning these untutored children of the forest
took their departure for the far West, with many
thousand Spanish dollars to cheer them on their
long and tedious march,
WAsHBowL DIVORCE CAsR.-The latest New
York scandal is of fashionable couple who
quarTeled q few mornings since, whereupon the
vile, by the advice OF her parents, sued for a
divorce The case is only noteworthy from the
ridiculous cause of the quarrel. One morning,
1t seems that the husband washed himself, as
usual in the bowl used by both, but the lady,
for some reason, refused to use it that morning,
and rang the bell for another 1t was brought,
when the now indignant husband flung it vio'
lently on the floor, breaking it into pieces. The
wife thereupon called him hard names, when he
locked the bedroom door, and insisted that she
should use the bowl. She vowed that she
wouldn't, If she "went with a dirty face for a
week." He swore she should, and so filling the
bowl, he seized her hands, and using sufficient
force, washed her face for her. He then un-
locked the door and went to his business, while
she went to consult lawyer and the suit
began.
GREAT REs.-Constantinople has been the
most unfortunate of all European cities since
1923 the intervals between the great fires have
never exceeded few years, ana in 1882 there
were six hundred houses burnt in February,
seven thousand in June, and ten thousand in
August, besides corn-mills and mosques. These
calamities may be partly attributed to the ineffi-
ciency OF the dre-eDgines in Constantinople,
and to the defective supply OF water. London
has suffered severely, especially in its theatres;
the Italian Opera House, the Lyceum, and the
Olympic have each been burnt down once,
Drury Lane, Covent Garden, and the Surrey
twice, and Astley's three times.

Prince Humbert, son of Victor Emanuel, was
