Five Millions of Dollars
Waiting.

Some interesting experiments are
now being made in the river, New
York, at the foot of one hundred and
thirty eight street, to attempt to re-
cover the treasure lost through the
sinking Of the British frigate Huzzar
on Evacuation day, 25th of November,
1880. The officers of the frigate,
knowing the French feet close at
hand, ran the vessel for what they
believed shallow water-but which in
reality proved to be the deepest water
in the river, and sank her. There
were eighty American prisoners on
board, manacled, and they persisted
There were also nine hundred thous-
and George III. guineas on board.
packed in 6fty-two iron boxes, bound
with copner.
In 1894 the English Government
tried two seasons to raise the vessel
and recover the money. In 1919 they
tried again, but were ordered off, as
the frigate and its contents were held
to be lawful prize of war. In 1913
other attempts were made to recover
the treasure. Up to 1857 500, 900 had
been expended without recompense;
and now the Frigate Exploration Com
pauy have made a contract with Messrs.
W. R. Taylor and J. A. Wees, owners
of the submarine explorer, to raise the
treasure of the Huzzar on a salvage of
thirty per cent.
The submarine explorer Is the inven-
tion of Mr. William Mont Storm. 1t

ers materially from the ordinary dying
bell has an inner and outer shell, and
affords a space of 204 cubic feet in its
working chamber. The supply of air
is good, and the submarine explorer
can be raised slowly or fast, to suit the
diver. The divers have stopped below
as much as five hours at time.
The treasure is supposed to be under
the stone ballast, of which there were
several hundred of tons on board.
This ballast is now being turned over,
but of rse that will take time.
Those engaged in the undertaking are
OF success. The explorer
acts to perfection, and the divers say
they experience no inconvenience
during their submersion.

ApIedicaI Experiment

DR.. Richardson, Of Springfield, N
Y, at the medical convention recently
held in Rochester, said that inYestiga-
ting the cause and nature Of eruptiVe
diseases he made the following expert
ment; He took piece Of fresh beef,
and put it under pure water, where be
left it remain 20 hours. By this time
the meat had begun to decompose,
and was far from being agreeable either
to the taste or smell. The doctor then
took a single drop Of the water and
examined i under the microscope.
He discovered in it numerous minute
animals, all in q lively state. He esti-
mated that cubic inch of the water
contained over 10000 of these beings.
The doctor at this stage deliberately
swallowed four ounces of the water,
and soon afterward opened q vein in
his arm. In the blood that issued
forth he discovered q number of liyin g
organisms precisely similar to those in
the water he drank. This statement
was made before the convention, and
if it failed to convince the auditors Of
squeamishness on the doctors part, it
must, at all events, have satisfied them
of his devotion to science.

ADutchman,s Trick.

While q Dutchman was passing
through a city in Vermont Yankee
came up to him and said.
"Shon, if you treat to the cider I will
learn you q trick"
Shon agreed. Yank then placed his
hand against fence and told him to
strike il as hard as he could. Shon,
not thinking that any harm could be-
fall him by so doing, struck a black
smiths blow, but inItead of hitting
Yank's hand, the latter, jerking it
away, poor Shon struck the fence board
knocking it off.
"Mein Himmell l' cried Shon, "WhAt
you make foolish? 1 knock my hand
off clean up de elbowi Oh, socker
blitzl mine poor frau, what will she
say ?"
Poor Shon was bound to have re-
venge, so one day, as he was passing
through the field, he espied a man.
Going up to him, he said:
"Mynheer, l show one little trick
for nodding."
As there was no fence or tree near,
Shon put his hand against his mouth
and said: "Strike just so hard as you
can" Mynheer struck, and Shon
pulled away his hand and received the
blow on his mouth, and was knocked
down. Shon jumped up, his mouth
bleeding. and commenced dancing with
pain. "Sherusaleml A tousand tuy-

He will hold his body in veneration.-
He will feel all the turpitude and shame

the greatest intellectual good by the

that mental acquisitions gained at the

persuaded, will not drink wine nor
other stimulating fluid. If by chance
he should be sick he will place him

The impression is strong upon my
mind. after reading almost all there is

Sound VS., Sight.

I dare say you have often noticed
when in company, on being introduced
to a very plain-looking lady, you found
it difficult to avoid saying to yourself
"What an unattractive person." at the
same time intuitiyely Struggling your
shoulders and expressing your belief
that you will never like her. Present.
ly, however, you hear her relate in
sweet, tones, some affecting incidents.
The soft intonation of her voice acts as
a charm on your feelings, and you
think, after all, she is not SO very plain
looking as you FIRST imagined. In fact,
you repeat to yourself, "What a nice
woman that person is % Now, on the
other hand, take a pretty looking
female. whose fine forhead, artisticAlly
penciled eyebrows and exqnisitly small
mouth strike you as being wonderfully
beautiful and prepossessing. You
think no human creature can be fairer.
When, however, you hear her speak
in harsh and naughty strain, using
bitter, scornful words where reproach
es were not called for, the much priced
logeliness appears to vanish, and an
impression, too frequently
of lasting character, is produced.

Chinese Grief

The style Of grief indulged in By ths
widow Of Chinese, who had left the
"hoEery land" to gain luers in the
auriferous region of California, will in
terest our readers. The writer says:
"AmoDg our twelve or fiftsen Chinese
passengers was a widow who had accu-
mulsted about $50, 900, and having lost
her husband by death, was returning
to China TO abide for the future with
her old friends and kinsmen. She was
about forty years of sge, good looking,
when considered from q Chinese stand
point, and, being rich. would doubtless
be considered a good catch by her
countrymen. She had had the bones
of her dear departed polished after
the Chinese style, boxed in a csmphor-
wood trunk, and was taking them with
her to the Flowery Kingdom, in order
that they might be deposited in the
Joss House alongside those Of his an
cestors. Every day she would descend
to the hold of the vessel where the re-
mains were slowed and spend an hour
or two with the skeleton, muttering 3
mixed sort of prayer, while tears
streamed from her eyes. Her mum
meries concluded, she would come up
on deck, smoke her cigar, laugh and
chat with her countrymen, as if she
was the most ight-hearted person in
the world. One day, after she had ter
minated her hours pensnce over the
dry bones Of her skeleton husband,
asked her why she said her prayers
over him daily, and was not little as

BIair'S OpiaIOR of Grant
Roughly Expressed.

The Leavenworth Times gives little
report of free expression of Blair, af.
ter his speech there, last week, con.
cerning General Grant, which we ex.
punge some of the inelegant exple-
JiVes so common to Blair. Somebody
having said Grant was "a fool" Blair
said:
"Sir, you are mistaken. Grant is no
fool. | know him well. / knew him
before he went into the army, and
when he used to haul wood into the
city of st. Louis. met him often in
the service. / know the man. he Is
the greatest man of the age. Sherman,
Sheridan and Thomas are good men
but Grant is worth more than all of
them.
"Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon Bena-
parte were both great men, but, sir,
tell you that Grant is a greater man
than Cromwell and Bonaparte put to-
gether. He is not a talker, but one of
the d-dest thinkers in the world.
He is ambitious, but he don't show
it, and tell you, that if he is elected
President he will set up a monarchy
and establish himself emperor.
81 tell you that the people are mis-
taken when they suppose Grant to be
a fool. They have good reason to fear
his greatness"
"Yes, but don't yoa think he will be
controlled by such men as S1mner,
Wilson and Washburn 2"
Controlled? Controlled Why, he
would sweep them away like straw"
But, General, don't you think that
circumstances have done a great deal
for Grant 2"
why, h-ll, the fellow has made
the circumstances. tell you that it
is no luck.
"The man that can spring right up
from poverty and obscurity and do
what he has done is no mere creature
Of circumstance. Circumstances don't
run so much in one way.
81 am a Democrat, but if Gen. Grant
IS such a great man as you say he is, ]
am a Grant man from this out"
"Well, if you want despotism vote
for him but if you want a republican
form of government you will have TO
vote against him. know that he is a
great man, and in saying SO, simply
tell the truth"

The DemOcra cy Scared.
over Zeal OF the Ex-RebeIs--.-wade
Hampton q Co. Requested to 'sDry
mp

Private adyices from our most stren-
uous friends at the North, request that
we should protest against the impru-
dent expressions that have escape d
some Southern speakers, since the ad-
iournment Of the National Democratic
Convention. 1t IS represented to Us
that great injury is accruing to the
cause from such imprudence. We
therefore shall make no apologies for
asking the attention of public speakers
to the fact. We are all desirous of
pushing on the good work of success,
and no one would voluntarily impede
its course who was aware of the fact
Whilst no man in the South should be,
and no true man Is, ashamed Of our lost
cause and whilst, when we speak of
the past, we should speak like true
men, it is questionable whether at this
time anything is to be gained by too
much reference to things that jar on
peoples nerves. What we want Just
now is to win. Let US keep onr powder
for that purpose. Too much is at stake
to waste it now in fe1tr de joie. Let US
nave our pyrotechnics next March. In
the meantime, friends, let Us, without
abating one sentiment that is true, be
cool and steady, and give the enemy
no advantage. We have a strong foe
to encounter. We can't afford to give
him all the advantage Of position. Let
US guard our hanks, make secure our
lines, and when the time comes, next
November, let US down on him like an
and double him up like a
grub-worm, and then scatter him to
the winds. We have the power. Do
not let US unnecessarily fritter it away
in unavailing skirmishing and needless.
thoughtless, scattered assaults. Let us
work, and speak, to win.
