TREASURE LosT.-The story goes that
one Of the robbers of the Shasta Stage,
something more than ten years ago, in the
vicinity of Meals ranch, and who has since
been doing the State some service at San
Qulnten, became sick unto death. and di-
vulged to an attendant, where he had bur
led his portion of the plumber. The at
tendant came up with charts and diagrams,
and employed young man residing on
Dry Greek to assist him in finding the
location of the cash, and unearthing the
treasure. They travelled the country all
over, but failed to find the locality. Then
the State Prison official returned below for
further information, and the young man
who lives on Dry Greek, started out to
prospect for the buried treasure on his
hook. He had from the first readily re-
cognized the exact spot from the descrip-
tion and drawings, but had purposely
bewildered and tired out the treasure
hunter from below. He being out OF the
way, in search of more definite information,
our young man proceeded to unea1th the
treasure. He found the shot guns and
pistols just as they had been buried dozen
years ago, but no $4,000 was to be found,
nor no treasure whatever! The theory
adopted by many is that the young man
on Dry Greek, found both guns and trea-
sure, but will acknowledge to nothing but
the guns because Wells & Co., might
reclaim the treasure. That is very good
but is not correct We think the young
man on Dry Creek reports his find correct
ly, and that while endeavoring to play the
States Prison official, he was himself sold
by that individual, who carried off the
treasure, leaving the guns as reward for
the services OF the young man, who, he
undoubtedly saw, knew perfectly well
where to find them. Under this latter
theory, the State Prison official gets the
treasure and covers up his tracks, SO there
can be no reclamation from Wells Fargo
Il Co, or division of the spoils with the
young man made use of to determine the
exact locality of the buried treasure.

Charlotte Temple.

A mong the countless througs who daily
pass and repass Trinity Church, how many
know that within few feet of the crowded
thoroughfare of Broadway is a grave which
covers all that remains OF once beautiful
and fascinating woman, the record OF whose
sorrows has dimmed the eyes Of thousands?
No date of birth, no indication of family,
and no date of death, appear on the stone
that covers the grave of Charlotte Temple,
whose tragic story, once the theme OF every
circle, is probably unknown to the greater
number ofyoung readers. The most beau
titul girl in New York-so it is claimed
she attracted the attention OF a young
officer, a member of one of England $
oldest and proudest families, who with his
regiment entered the city when the British
occupied New York after the battle of Long
Island. Charlotte, then only seventeen,
was wooed and won by the dashing young
officer. He deserted her, and then-the
old story-she soon after died of a broken
heart. A little daughter which she left
was tenderly cared for, at proper age was
taken to England, and fortune of one
hundred thousand dollars settled upon her
by the head of her fathers family, the late
Earl Of Derby, grandfather of the present
Lord Stanley. She, like true daughter
and true woman, returned to New York,
and ere' ted the monument that now marks
the mothers grave. The inscription upon
1t was engraved on a solid tablet of brass,
an inch in thickness, heavily plated with
silver, and thus it read: ''Sacred to the
memory of Charlotte Stanley, aged nine
teen years" The flial duty performed
she returned to England, and lived life
OF unobtrusive piety and usefulness. The
plate placed upon the stone that marks the
grave was supposed to be OF solid silver,
and tempted the cupidity of certain wand
ais, who, with hammer and chisels, sue
ceeded in prying it from the slab. They
were never detected. Many years after
ward, some good Samaritan caused the
simple name of Charlotte Temple to be cut
underneath the excavation There it NAV
be seen, within few feet of Broadway by
any one who will take the trouble to look
through the iron railing. The last time
we glanced at the slab, now almost imbedd-
ed in the ground, we saw several sparrows
taking bath in the water which had
collected in the excavation from which the
villains removed the plate; and other little
feathered songsters were singing requiem
over her grave-near which we were graft
fed to observe forget me-rfot. doubtless
planted there by some kind heart who in
childhood, had wept over the sad and ro-
mantle story of the blue-eyed girl.-Ap-

Mrs IRWIN, sister of Mrs Stonewall
Jackson, has secured patent for an i'm
provcment in the construction of houses,
which, it is claimed. will create new era
in architecture. Mrs Irwin proposes six
walled or haxagonal apartments, which are
not only much handsomer, but are really
cheaper than the quadrangular form. A
wall of 80 feet built in the hexagonal form
incloses a.third more 81 ace than the same
length of wall built in the square form, and
as these haxagonal rooms fit into each 9TH
er without loss of space, the gain in the
whole building is very great. The paten-
tee also claims that this mode of building
gives greater degree of strength than any
other, and that this mode of building, in
the hands of good architect, is capable Of
assuming greater artistic beauty than the
square or quadrangular form. The octa-
gonal building attracted good deal Of
attention some years ago, but the hexagon-
al is claimed to be something entirely new

LABOR IN THE SoUTH.-The colored
people in the South are reported to be
settling down to steady labor, not one
tenth the number of field hands that were
formerly seen upon the streets of the large
cities during the Christmas holidays having
been observed this year. They have dis.
covered, it is stated, that yearly changes
from one plantation to another are injurious
to their interests. They are also becoming
land holders on a small scale, propretors Of
large plantations having in many cases
given to each head of family two or three
acres of ground, on which the owners erect
houses, build fences, cultivate gardens and
raise poultry and hogs. These small pro-
prietors have no disposition to roam about
from place to place, and the planters are
attaching the freedom to fixed locally
The wages paid for hands are $3.50 per
year for No. men, Sl20 for No. 2 men,
500 for women, end in similar proportions
for half-grown boys. 1t is asserted that
planters who deal justly with their employees
have no difficulty in procuring full sup
ply of hands.

SAMUEL WooDwoRTH, author of the
"Old Oaken Bucket" died in the Eastern
States, Dec. 9th 1912, aged SO years. Few
people are aware of the fact that his re-
mains were removed to this State, and on
September 18th, 1865, deposited in the
Egyptian granite family vault of his son,
Sehm K. Woodwork, on Pioneer Avenue,
Lone Mountain Cemetery, San Francisco.
By politeness of Mr.. Hayward, the Sup
erintendent Of the Cemetry, we were per-
mitted to enter the vault, and as we stood
with uncovered head beside the casket,
the tear of regret sympathetically fell, for
we thought it sacrilege that his remains
should thus repose in land almost, and a
place certainly, wholly unknown to him
and far, very far away from the scenes Of
his childhood and ''the old oaken bucket
which hung in the well"-New Age.

In the flush times of Vicksburg, when
the phrase "hard case" meant something
more than it does now, Harvey jenkins
was admittedly one of the hardest. By
some strange accident, Harvey found him
self at church one evening. The sermon
beiog over, the preacher requested all who
were friendly to religion to rise and hold
up their right hand. The whole audience
apparently were on their feet. After they
were seated the minister continued: "Now,
if there is single one here who desires to
see Satan and his kingdom prosper, he
will rise and hold up his right hand" I"
Harvey, with some difficulty, got to an
erect position, and said: "Had the vote
been less unanimous, should have retain
ed my seat; but make it point Of hon.
or lever to abandon friend under adverse
circumstances.

The King of Prussia recently addressed
letter to Grand Duke Frederick Francis,
of Mecklenburgh- -Schwerin, strongly urg-
ing him to put an end to his scandalous
domestic life, and above all things, no
longer to maltreat his young wife. The
grand ducal reprobate, it is said, has sedu-
ED nearly every young female employed. at
his palace in Schwerin, and when his young
consort kindly demonstrated with him, he
flew into towering passion and whipped.
her brutally. The poor Grand Duchess.
had to remain in her bedroom for two weeks
in order to hide her black eyes from the

the following in relation to it: "When the

SILK CULTURE AND ITS PRoFITs.-In
recent letter, A. Brewster, of the Mission,
San Gabriel, Los Angeles county, SAYS.
Parties commencing the silk business;
must not expect to realize as much from,
their plantations the first season as from
those two or three years old, but be con-
tent with as much profit as can be derived
from vineyards five years planted, knowing
that profits will be five times greater the,
second year, and constantly increasing at
the same ratio for several years. They.
should also bear in mind that distance
from ma ket is no objection in silk culture;
If corn at 20 or 80 cents per bushel will
not pay for transportation, silk cocoons at
two dollars per pound, and reeled elk
worth from ten to fifteen dollars per pound, ;.
most assuredly will.

The Frsnc-tireurs, or French gueril-
las. are dressed in black clothes. with
leather CATERS, coming up to the knee.
They carry black flag, bearing a skull
and cross bones, like the ornaments
of the celebrated Black Brunswick
Hussars. The organization of the
corps of Franc tireurs. IT is stated, is
similar to that Of the Order Of La
Trappe. the members Of which, as is
well kown, preserve an almost perpet-
nal silence. In the same way the Frsc-
tireurs are bound by vow ofsilence,
which is only broken at signal from
their commanding officers, when it is
necessary to obtain provisions or to
inquire their way.
