Judge S. gave his son a thousand dol.
lars, telling him to go to college and
graduate. The son returned at the end
Of the Freshman year without: dollar,
and with several ugly habits. About the
close of the vacation the Judge said: ..s,,
"Well, William, are you going to
college this year,"
II have no money father"
"But, gave you thousand dollars to
graduate on"
Its all gone, father"
Every well, my sen; it was all that i
could give you; you can't stay here; you
must now pay your own way in the
world.n
A new light broke in upon the vision
of the astonished young man. He ac-
commodated himself to the, situation;
left homo, made his way to college,
graduated at the head of his class, stud
led law, became Governor of the State
of New York, entered the Cabinet Of the
President of the United States, and has
made record for himself tnat will not

6IsCoyERY OF SILVER AND LEAD
NEAR STE
A Big Thing (Perhaps).

from the Steubenville Herald OF Monday.l
For many years past attempts have
been made to discover lead mines in the
northern part of this county, believed
to exist from the traditional Indian
stories told by the early settlers, of the
supply of lead the Ind ians always had,
in rough state, while carrying on the
border warfare. Large bodies of the red
men from q distance visited this coun-
try for lead for their guns, and the local.
ity, although known to be somewhere
near Yellow Greek, some twenty miles
above this city, could never be found,
the Indians refusing to divulge the se-
cret to the whites. Some
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO,
An old man, whose early life had been
spent with the Indians, re-appeared
upon the scenes of his youth, and to-
gether with young man claiming to be
his son, began search before the hid
den treasure. Five miles above the
mouth of Yellow Creek, small stream
emptying into the Ohio, the old man
and his companion began to seek for the
metal, following the direction given to
him by an old Indian, one of the last
survivors of the Mingo tlibe. Taking
the side of the hill above the stream, the
supposed landmarks were discovered,
and the two set to work, digging into
the side of the hill, The explorers, q
short distance from the surface, struck 3
large fiat rock, which sounded hollow
from the strokes of the pick, and found
to be a shell rock. A hole was made
through this stone and the old man pre-.
pared to explore the darkness within.
He dropped q distance of ten feet and
found himself in complete
GRoTTo,
whose only opening to the outer world
he had just carved in the solid, forming
the top. The cavern was square wall
ed room, twenty feet in length, six feet
in width, and ten feet in heighth. The
cave was entirely empty, and 40 ir dica-
tions of lead ore were discovered. The
subterranean grotto was visited by
many, the search for the lead mines
was given up, and bu; little thought ol
until some six months since, when the
old mans story was again told and the
work of exploring the banks Of Yellow
Creek again commenced. The latter
day efforts did not, however, produce
much excitement, and were carried on
by parties from Wellsville, without any
important results until Friday evening
last, when rich vein of
SILVER AND LEAD
was struck one and half miles south o
the town of Hammondsville, some eight
feet below the surface. The discovery
produced the most intense excitement
in the neighborhood. A large piece O
pure ore, weighing over sixty pounds
was taken out on Saturday, and is on ex.
hibition at Wellsville. Wehave piece
of the ore, a mixture of silver and lead
broken from the "big chunk" Those
of speculative minds see vast riches in
the heretofore barren hills of Yellow
Creek. and are, ALREADY buying up lands
with view Of enormous profits. The
land on which the metals were found
formerly belonged to Baz Davis, color
ed man of this city.

He came into the breakfast room one
morning and in moment it was seen
that cloud was on his brow. There
sat the lady-like wife waiting for him;
the table fairly groaned, not with plated
silver, but the solid material. The cloth
was white as snow, the family were
seated around in pleasant expectancy;
everything was smoking Lot, and not
an article there but even pampered
appetite could revel on. But the mans
favorite dish was not there. Closer he
came to the table, and with the inquiry,
'sDid you not know that I wanted shad
for breakfast ?n he raised his foot and
overturned the whole table on the floor.
at is at the fire being kept warm fer
you," replied his wife in her quiet, lady
like and coEquering way.
In an instant the naughty husband
comprehended the situation; the next
,,e was on his knees, eXclaiming, "Dear
wife. you are nothing less than an angel
born"
Not great while after that he died.

ecuted, he left her all he had-$2, ,000, 900.

cassagnac and the Prussiads--A Mock
Soldier Stripped OF HIS Plumase.
1t is well known, says London jour
nal-for he did his best to make it
known-that NJ. Paul Granier de Cas-
sagnac followed the modern to protect
his august master more effectively, he
transformed himself, pour conanae1acer,
into an officer Of that noble corps, and
assumed all the trappings by way oflace
and gliding appertaining to the rank.
With him went, and like him did, his
confreres, Mitchell, Carette and Fro
ment. Presently they were caught by
| the Prussians and sent with some other
French prisoners to Breslau. An after
noon came on which he, together with
the French officers, had to appear before
the staff at the Cuirassiers' Barracks;
there, in the large barrack yard, the
public examination of their papers
wss to be made. The officers exhibited
their 'patentsn and received full liberty
to choose their own place of residence in
any Prussian fortress, and were in other
respects allowed to dispose of them
selves in any way most agreeable to
themselves.
Next came NJ. Paul's turn 10 show his
patent. He had none; never had one;
never served, in fact, though volunteer
ed as private Garde Mobile ad hoe.
Thereupon the ruthless German colo
mel bade the field provost stand forth
and in the face of the assembled French
and Prussians. officers and privates, teal

prisoners of war to Cosel, which certain

for his pen by the Emperor. We must
not omit to mention that his escort were
informed. by authority, of the fact thai
this was the man who, since the begin

peat that no Prussian soldier knew what

A pleasant Romance-A Secret Marriage
and a saved Property.


Tn one of the boarding houses upon
the east side of Main street there occur
red a singular incident last Monday
NIGHT A very respectable young gen.
tleman and refined young lady, who had
resided in the house for six months as
single persons and mere acquaiutances,
suddenly announced to their fellow
boarders that they were man and wife,
and had peen so for some time. The
following little circumstance the young
oen tleman related as to the cause oftheir
Secrecy. Two or three years ago he had
boarded in the family of a very wealthy
old gentleman at Nashville, Tennessee.
This old centlemaI quarreled with his
wife and having taken strong liking
for the Young gentleman in question,
informed him that he would will all OF
his property to him on condition that
ba would marry his only daughter
This the Young man refused to do, as he
loved another, and that he knew that
the daughters affections were centered
elsewhere than upon him. But the old
gantlemau. whom ill health had made
irascjble. stoutly asserted that unless he
world agree to the transaction he should
lasve his money to some charitable In
stitution. and the young man, who was
not yery well posted in legal matters,
tbinkinr to do the wife and daughter a
seryic !, agreed to the proposition and
the will was made and the old man came
to the eastern part OF this State 10 re-
ceive medical treatment. The young
man shortly afterward married the lady
of his choice and came here to live, but,
as he saws. in order to prevent the old
gentleman from willing his property
away to charitable institutions, his mar
riaoe was kept secret, and his wife and
himself lived together in the ssme house
for months as friends simply. Last
Sunday, however, q TELEGRAM was vas re- re,
Gentleman, and the young man, having
made over all of his right and title to
the extensive estate of the family of the
deceased, now publicly announces his
marriage, and is happy. 1 Buffalo Ex-

Real Difference E1isting-AII the Work
Of Mischief Makers.
Cor. Gin. Commercial.
WASHINGTON, No I. 10.
The President stated to Senator VIII
son to-day that there was no misunder-
standing between himself and Secretary
Cox, and there never had been; that he
entertains for him none but the kindest
feelings, and that all the differences be-
tween them had been originated and
fabricated by misunderstanding politl-
clans and newspapers. He also states
that so far as any conflict having arisen
between himself and General Cox on the
subject of reforms in the civil serv ice
there had never been so much as q shad-
ow of fact for their foundation; that they
had never discussed the subject together
as relating to the Interior Department.
but that it was generally understood in
the beginning of the administration that
all the reforms were to be made that
were possible, and that each Secretary
had taken his own course in his own de-
partment, and that he had never inter-
fered with any of them. The President
further said that the Indian policy was
his own, and that no deviation form it
had been made or none would be made,
and that Secretary Cox never objected
to the policy, but approved it; and furth-
er, that Cox, in his annual report, speaks
of the Indian policy as the Presidents,
and testifies to thesadmiradle working
thereof
Secretary Boutwell, expressed the
opinion to-day that there had been no
more reforms in the Interior Depart
ment than there had been in the Treas
ury, and that no greater severity had
been exercised in the examination of
applicants for Office in the former than
in the latter.
