duced a resolution instructing the Treasurer
Of the United States to open certain wooden
box which has been in the vaults of the Trea-
sury Department for many years, and make
known the contents thereof to the House. The
box alluded to is snail wooden one, twelve
inches square, It was deposited in the vault
Of the Treasury about twenty-five years ago,
where it remains unopened, and contains a
large nugget of gold. In 1912 or 1S43, a lot
Of valuable jewels, gold snuff boxes, gold scab-
bards, and other valuable articles were stolen
from case in the Patent Office building,
where they lad been deposited by the Gov.
ernment and various officials who had received
them as presents from foreign nations. They
had been placed 10 the museum at the Patent
Office, ourlaws forbidding any officer Of the
Government receiving presents from foreign
powers The. man who robbed the case was
captured and q portion Of the jewels recovered
The gold had all been melted, but was recover

A PASTORAL LETTER CONCERNING ANERI-
CAN WOMEN. Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coke,
OF New York, has issued pastoral letter in
relation to American women, in which he
discourseth as follows. 1t will no doubt strike
home to many an American household:
When see the tawdry fashions, the costly
vulgarity and the wicked extravaganza OF the
times, feel sure that thousands OF American
women are Strangers to the first law of refine
ment-simphcity In manners and attire.
When | see that thousands ofAmerican women
read the most shameful romances and the most
degrading newspapers, frequent the vllest
dramatic entertainments, and join in dances too
shocking to be named among Christians, feel
that Christian matrons are becoming too few,
and that civilized heathenism is returning to
the fields we have wrested from the Indians.
When Tread daily of the most ungodly divorces,
and of crimes against social purity and against
human life itself, which are too gross to be
mentioned more particularly, feel that too
many Of our countryWomen arc without God in
the world, and that radical reforms are neces
sary, in the systems of education On which the
young women Of America are dependent tor
their training. When | see thousands Of
households in which young girls are reared for
allie of pleasure without reference to duty,
cannot wonder at these results, nor at the
misery in which they;involve families and com
munitiesi Sow the wind and reap the whirl-
wind. AS Christian bishop, therefore, |
make my appeal to you, Christian women. and
I ask you to begin the reformation by faith
fully bearing your testimony against all that
tends to the degradation Of your sex, and the
more so when such crime is not only winked at,
but receives countenance in circles which ought
to be exemplary.

4 correspondent of the GaIena Ga
@ette, writing from Shullsburg speaks
thus encouragingly OF the Monroe
and Dubuque railroad which is to pass
through Shullsburg
This town has been somewhat ex>
cited Of late, in regard TO the propose
cd building of railroad from Mon,
roe through this place to Dubuque
Sometime since, the company prom
ised that in case the town would
raise one hundred thousand dollars,
they would build the road immedia-
tely. A special election was called
soon after for the purpose Of levying
a tax upon the town, which resulted
in nearly ANONYMOUS vote in favor
OF raising S $4,000 by tax on the wills
lnge-iLe Other 500, 600 to be raised
in the township. The Company now
want them to raise 5000 more
making $4,000 in all, and to give
them the right of way besides. The
people feel badly disappointed at this
kind OF treatment, and their hope for
a railroad is sadly blighted
