Treasury Conscience Fund. Two
thousand dollars were received from
a person in Boston, signing him
self j. nj. S. Juarez, who says that
he defraudei the Government in the
matter of revenue tax, several years
ago. About one hundred dollars
were received from other sources.
A wealthy Englishman, formerly
a member of Parliament, and con-
spicuous friend of the United States
during the war, purchased a large
amount of five twenty bonds, three
or four years ago. He is now
travelling in this country, and has
lately sent to the Secretary of the
Treasury, from some peilt in Penn
sylvania, communication, saying
that he is unwilling to receive six
er cent. gold interest on his bonds
as lie beleaves it to be too much,
and that he is willing to accept half
of that interest, being three per cent.
a wear. He before returned thou
sand dollar bond, and seven thirty
dollars cupon for the past, and in-
auires how the matter can be ar
ranged in future The Secretary
has asked him to visit ashington.

The Experience of Mark Twain
at VickSburg.

At dinner yesterday l helped my
self to piece of pumpkin pie. The
gentleman who had been SO oblig-
ing as to amuse me at an expense of
seventy five dollars, observing me
eat the pie. rose from the table with
a heavy frown on his face. When
had finished my dinner and walk
ed forward to the Social Hall, he
approached with a drawn bowie
knife and st.rnly demanded of me
where l was from. told him, after
a slight hesitation, that l was born
in Albermarle county,, Virginia. and
that l was a nephew of Colonel
He then said, eff that is
the case, sir, you may continue to
live; but, sir Thought you must
be id Yankee from the way you
eat that pumpkin pie, and in that
case should have regarded it as a
duty to my country to cut your
throat"
thanked him very politely for
the high regard he manifested for
the place Of my birth and my family
connections. He then asked me If
l took part in the rebellion. said,
yes. He inquired on which side. l
replied on both; !; that was visiting
a relative of mine by the name of
John NJ. Bolts at the time the war
broke out, and that 1 remained
there until the war closed. He
seemed satisfied with my answer, and
asked me to introduce him to Gen
Blair. He told the General he was
the first man he ever voted for that
he had fought against; that the
South could never have been con-
auered if he-Colonel Jay Hawker,
l think he called himself-had been
in command, or if they had been all
like him. He had lost very heavily
by the war. ! think he said he had
lost an uncle, nigger, a watch, and
some thirteen dollars in Confederate
money.

given it to the Russian Prince Alexis
P, in exchange for pearl col
lar. 9t.ss.4..s 1- sesg
The Viscount set out for ST. Pc
tersburgh. He was very happy,
now he had something to do-to
find the true owner of the hidden
money. He placed it at interest in
order that it might not run the risk
of being loss. .si-t
Prince P---knew the desk, but
declared he had never concealed
bank note in it. He told the Wis
count that on leaving Italy, he had
given the desk to a danseuse of the
opera, Louis P, who was not
in the habit of concealing m oney.
Robert returned to Paris There
he learned that, after life of gal
lantry and luxury, Louis P---had
died in misery, and that her furni-
tire was sold by her creditors. 1t
was ut that sale that he bought the
desk.
What to do now? He could on
ly think that the maker of the desk
had placed the money there, or that
it was there deposited by the Span
ish robbers who stole it.
The maker in London wrote that
he knew nothing of it, and the Wis
count learned that the Spanish rob-
bers had all been hung.
All perhaps it had been deposit
ed there by the Mexicans. He went
to Mexico. from whence he returned
two months ago.
He discovered that one of these,
into whose hands it had fallen, was
a trappcr, who carried on considera
BILE trade in skins with the Ameri-
cans. This was sufficient He
must have been the man. who con
cealed the bank notes.
The Viscount continued his search
and at last one day found at Vera
Cruz very pretty young girl OF
seventeen, the daughter of the Mex
ican by French woman, who had
come to Vera Cruz as a milliner. In
answer to his questions she told
him that she knew nothing of her
father, but that he was killed by a
Texan ranger.
She was excessively pretty, and
like sensible fellow, he married
her, and having at last something
to do. returned to France with hel
to enjoy the fortune of which 6
singular chance had brought him in
to possession.

DOWN BY THE SEA.

BY NARY JANE TAYLOR.
Fleecy clouds and n azure sky,
Jagged cliffs and bay;
Twittering swallows circling nigh,
And blue sea stretching away;
Two that were walking hand in hand,
As two that loved might be
Gathering shells on the golden sti and,
Down by the summer sea.
Tender eyes that were deeply blue,
Eyes that were cold and gray:
And one is false and one is true
Strolling there by tie bay.
Tempter and tempted walking the strand,
AS two that loved might be
Tendily, cruelty, hand in hand,
Down by the summer sea.
Stormy sea and a leadcn sky,
And waves that break and moan;
With dropping head and fearful eye
Down bv the bay alone;
A. d one as sad. on the dreary sands,
As a broken heart can be-
Weeping bitterly, wringing her hands,
Down by the moaning seal

Shook the earth all down upon MIN,
And he lies beneath his gravestone,
Ever shaking, shaking, shaking!''

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The idea of free banking system has many
supporters in both houses of Congress. and al
present the indications are that such system
will be established during the session. Further
indications are that Secretary Boutwell's recon-
mendation for contraction at the rate of two mil.
lions per month will not find many supporters.
The demand from the South for money appears
to be very strong.
There is said to DO an impression in New York
among some of the banking houses in the foreign
exchanges. from the tenor of their orders from
London and frankfort. that confidence is pretty
strong that a a. per cent. United States loan is
practical at the equivalent Of par in gold, and that
this feeling contributes to the orders for the long
