Curious DISCOVERY or TREASURE.

IRON the Calaveras Cali Chronicle June 25I
On Friday. the 18th inst, as company of Italian
miners were suicing In Wet Guch, near Whiskey
Slide they washed out OF the bank tin box con-
tanning 1,572 in 'iDdlviduap' gold coin. There was
a nifty dollar "slug' among the rest. The lucky
finders Of the treasure were at work In the
Old Hamilton ranch, close to the site where
o FIenchman called jerry kept @ store
IN early days. As long ago as 1852 jerry
was murdered In his store, and it was supposed ut
the time chat his assassns secured the money he was
known TO possess and made good their escape
Since the discovery OF the treasure by the Italians,
however, the most reasonable conjecture Is that he
buried the money, and that those who imbrue tner
hands in his blood obtained nothing but guilty con-
sciences to compensate them for their crime The box
that contained the money was nearly eaten up with
rust, but the coin has been undsturbed since de-
posted in the bosom Of mother earth for safe Keep
ing. The money, we believe, was coined by Moiat
~ Co., oil San Francisco. Thus, after lapse OF
eighteen years, by one OF those queer neXplicabie
freaks Of hayward fortune, Is peacably unearthcd
an object to possess which human blood has been
shed. and another link added to the cham that
binds our recollection to the dark and bloody deeds
Of early days in California.

its power and since is unworthy and in.
competent to have the power. The adj
ministration of President Grant has cor
rected abuses, inaugurated important
reforms, reduced the national debt,
strengthened the national credit, increased
the revenue while lessening taxation, and
given greater security to life and property
in the southern States. All these meas
ures for the relief and prosperity of the
country have received little or no support
from democrats, although their response
bility for the war and its evils of debt and
taxation is fearfully large. In the light of
this review of the record of the republican
party and examination of the work before
it necessary to be done, the Republican
Committee call with conf
dence upon all its members to cling to
their organization, and keep the nation
true to the enlightened and progressive
spirit which has characterized it under re-
publican rule. Let all do their duty,
whether the opposition be dead or alive.

FROM MT. DESERT.

EAST EDEN, MT. Desert,) Aug. 10.
DEAR JOURNAL: Here we are at this noted
place of summer resort only twenty-one
hours from Augusta, with four of that to
'.rusticate" in Portland. We left Augusta
Tuesday in the 3 :l5 train for Portland. At
10 o'clock took the steamer "LewiSton, and
after good nights rest, found ourselves in
Rockland at about ) O'Clock this morning. Two
hours more found us in Castino, and u o'clock
to-day finds us at Bar lIarbor,-the greatest
place of resort on Mt. Desert. Here we find
fifteen public or boarding houses, with some
COO visitors.
After leaving Castine the trip AMONG the
islands and on the coast was delightful, 1t be-
ing Just cool enough to be comfortable in =
wooden suit. We stopped at Deer Isle,
Sedgwiek. and S, W. lIarbor. noticed that
the fields and pastures on the route appeared
quite fresh and green, instead Of scorchcd
and dried up as in many other places. While
at S. W. Harbor we stepped into the lobster
canning establishment situated on the wharf,
where are employed about dozen men and
some twenty girls, in boiling and putting up
Holsters We found them fresh and delicious,
(the lobstcrs). 1t being free treat we
ate our fill and owing TO our spare condi-
ton and the fact that got up from sick
bed Just before We left home, you know 1t must
have been something of fill
We found ON board the boat several persons
from Augusta, among whom were the Misses
Bridges, teachers at the ST. Catherine Hall,
Mrs. Daniel Williams. We also had on tho
boat coming to this place, Gen. John {. Free
mont his wife Jessie, their two sons and a
daughter, young men and women grown.
The Gen. looks tough and iron-sided, his
hair and whiskers being sprinkled profusely
with gray. We had quite chat with him,
and found him agreeable and sociable.
Jessie" is a large sensible looking woman
with a very large lot of very grey hair upon
her head.
When we got here we found that Thomas
Lambard Esq, and Rev. Mr.. Tpjohn with his
splendid turnout, span of greys, had ar
rived one hour ahead of us, coming via the
land route, driving through in two days.

l4MENDE.

Comment is unnecessary upon the fol-
lowing article which appeared in the Maine
Standard yesterday. 1t carries its own in
depreciation with it.
1t having been represented to the writer of
the series of articles published in the Stand
ard during the past few weeks, signed%, that
a portion of them is understood by some of
the friends of Mr.. Blaine, to contain attacks
upon his personal integrity, and official honor,
it is due to truth and justice, to say that our
remarks were intended to apply only to him
as a public man and candidate tor pnbilc
office, and must not be construed as rejecting
ON his honor as a private gentleman. If, in
any respect, the articles are understood to
have transcribed the legitimate bounds OF
political criticism of public man, they must
be taken with the modification which this par
agraph implies.

WAR SPLINTERS.

The French military occupation in Rome
dates from 1913. For twenty-five years
the Pope has been defended in his seat by
French bayonets. For almost a quarter Of
a century Italy has been prevented from
out her proportions and complet-
ing her nationality by the possession of
her true capital, only by this instrument
ality.
Marshal McMahon is an Irishman, and
sixty years of age. He is entirely self
made man. and has risen to his present
position through his own merits. He has
seen service in Algiers, Italy, the Crimea,
and, indeed. wherever the French flag has
been during the last forty years, except il
Mexico, Of which expedition he entirely
disapproyed.
A Paris correspondent says that .'the
rage, the fury, the disappointment Of the
Partisan population on finding hat there
had been series Of defeats on FreLcA soil
instead Of the easy promenade witch they
expected, are beyond description. We
already feel the state of the siege. All
the kiosks on the boulevards were shut up,
at / o'clock. Something serious, which
cannot fathom now, has taken place, for
all the cafes on the bouleyards are shut up,

catastrophes from the temper of the peo-
pie. The population is furious on reading
the proclamation of the Empress and the
Ministry saying 1.-The country may yet be
saved if all viii be united?" Something
more serious than know of must have
happened this evening, from the state of
the boulevards which l have observed.
Although the troops are in the streets,
there is much less excitement than last
night. The attitude of the people is that
of resignation. So far as know, no se-
rious disorder has taken place"
