SHIP IN THE DEsERT.-The San Fran
cisco Alta California publishes the story
one Clusker whom it vouches for as a relia-
BILE mani in search of a wreck reported by In
dians as lying in the sands in the Colorado
desert:
He found it between forty and fifty miles
southwest OF the Dos Palmos station, and The
Cavassone Lake, precisely where he had beer
told by the Indians and others it Vould be
found. He had been many hours without
water, and there was none within sixty miles,
except in his wagon. As he was near per-
ishing, he went no farther than to assure him
self OF tine fact that the ship was there, and
returned to his wagon, travelling all night On
foot, nearly dead with thirst. Clusker says
he saw the ship distinctly through his glass,
about mile and a half distant. She lies on
her beam ends, her bow, bovspri. and stern
well above the sand; the waist of the shin
covered with sand. and pillows of sand all
around her. He judges that she is about two
hundred and fifty feet long.
Upon repeated inquiries, il he might not
have been deceived by mirage or some natur-
al object, he distinctly anu positively SAYS
mo-" His glass is an excellent one. and he
was suie it was the ship he saw.
I His party hal travelled five days and four
nights on thirty-six gallons Of water for four
men and five animals, and he was forced to
return for water and provisions.
He describes the vicinity OF the ship as cov-
cred with marine shells, abalones and other
varieties.
MI. Clusker starts tomorrow again, taking
several parreis for water, plank to cross the
solt mud OF the Cauassone Lake, which has
no water on the surface, but in which water
rises in footstep-to take possession of and
explore his new treasure.

PILES, PILES.

A very common affection, there being but few
persons who not troubled with them at some pc
rod OF their life The disease exists in small tumors
in tie rcctum or about the alus, which divided
into, first, those which are owing to distendnd
state OF the veins of the part second those which
present the character of solid tumor. When the
tumors are within the rectum, they called inter-
nal piles: when without, and around the anus, ex-
ternal. When they discharge blood they are term
ed bleeding piles; a d when no blood appears, blind
piles and excessive itching about the anus itching
piles; Nothing equals BRIGGS PILE REMEDIES

A Scorcn Commissioner is now in Boston

A ScoTcu Commissioner is now in Boston
engaged in procuring evidence concerning the
death of the late Earl of Aberdeen, who ship
eed before the mast in an American vessel.
and made several voyages. His last voyage
was from Boston to Melbourne and China.
when he shipped as mate OF the schooner
Hero, by the name OF George III. Osborne. On
the sixth day out, while engaged in taking in
the jib, the mate was caught in the down
haul, thrown overheard and drowned. In or
der TO fix the succession to the estate of the
late Earl, and to his seat in the House of
Lords, it is now necessary TO prove the identi-
ty of the lost sailor with Lord Aberdeen. The
best proof of this is his signature to the sbio-
ping articles of the Hero, which are preserved
at the Boston Custom House, his handwriting
being well known in Scotland.

COS So to remain all the year in the hands
of the Treasurer, and much larger sun
great portion Of the year The present year
there are $7,o24 70 due the County, which
should be collected and ought to meet the
earrent expenses of the County and pay the
State assessment beside, without touching
the $l4, 500 sc now in tie Treasury. 1t is
the principle, and not the exact amount Of
money that we contend for. We don tcare If
the Treasurer be Democrat ora Republican,
we believe that he gets his salary for bis
services, that the tai. payers Of the County
are entitled to the interest of the surplus
fund in the Treasury, and that We ought to
have general law to that effect, regulating
such matters throughout the State. In this
we believe, we have the support of good

needed to pay current expenses up to June

Orr TRADE BALANCES. The trade re-
ports for January lst 1870 shows most
gratifying improvement on the previous
year At the close of the year 1868 the
balance against US on our foreign trade was
$24, I29, ,049 In other words we had bought
more merchandise abroad than we had sold,
to the amount Of s24, ,129 ,O49, and we're
just that much out of pocket on our year 5
business. At the close of the year 1869,
though we had transacted a business of
$40, COO, 900 more than the previous year
the balance against US was but $l,97S, ,264
This certainly shows an Improvement in the
condition of our foreign trade, but it is still
not What it should be. Instead Of balance
against us we should have balance in our
favor The balances against Us some years
ago before protective tariff was adopted
we're much heavier than in 1865 and some
times amounted to hundreds Of millions
Under protection we are steadily improving
and if our present. tariff is not interfered
with the close Of the present year may
show balance in our favor. But if We re
turn to a comparative free-trsde rate Of
duties We VIII most certainly find the bal
auces once more heavily against US. Pro-
t tction is our only security.
