A Treasure Unearthed.

Yesterday, says the Kansas City Ne,0S
Of the Both ultimo, a negro, in the en-
ploy of Lynch, contractor was engaged
in digging the foundation for a house
on Gunotte's bluff, on a lot adjoining
the residence Of Captain Tobin, our
City Auditor, when he unearthed a
buried treasure-gold and silver coin.
He had dug down about two feet under
ground, when his pick struck something
hard, and raking it toward him with
the point of the instrument, bright coin
was scattered before him.
We have not time to relate how that
nigger's eyes rolled and popped and
sparkled at this sudden opening Of an
Eldorado blossom before his astonished
gaze, but suffice it to say that gold and
silver coin to the amount Of about $500
were found in his pocket. The money
principally consisted of Spanish and
Mexican coin of small denominations,
and had been deposited there in a small
leather bag, which was almost rotted
away. There was nothing to denote
how long the treasure had lain hidden
there. From the appearance of the
money and the bag, the deposit was
doubtless made twenty-five or thirty
years ago, but by whom or for what
purpose will always remain a mystery,
unless the secret may be divulged by
further developments.
An attempt had been made to keep
the affair a secret, but the excitement
among those acquainted with the facts
was too great, and it leaked out. Dig
ging is going on lively in the neighbor-
hood, and every time a man drives his
pick in the ground he expects to raise
it with a twenty dollar gold piece stick.

The RussO.Prussian Alliance.

The following are the principal condi-
tons Of the treaty made between Russia
and Prussia at Versailles, early this
year: Should the war involve Austria,
by intervention or otherwise, Russia will
act with the Germans, furnishing a
specified number of troops and ships.
The powers were to make peace only on
the following terms: Austria was to re-
nounce, in favor of Germany, all Bohe.
mia, Moravia, Silesia, and the Duchy of
Salzburg; Austria was to renounce in
favor of Russia the provinces of Galicia
and Dalmatia. When these changes
became accomplished facts, Russia was
to cede Germany five towns, harbors on
the Baltic Sea, and part of Courland.
Prussia was to regard the treaty of Paris
null; to pledge herself to armed parti-
cipation in ,nquests in the East with
force equal to that of Russia, and to
subsequent partition of the conquered
territory. Russia was fooled, as was
France in 1866.

A Druggists Mistake.

An alarming mistake was made in q
city drug store a day or two ago, the
worst feature of which is that it cannot
be corrected. The. proprietor of the
store, being out of town, had called in
an old othecary-though lately en-
gagged in other business-to take charge
during his absence. man applied
with written order or prescription for
quinine, saying that it was for his
daughter, who was sick with fever. The
medicine was put up and the customer
departed. Very soon after it was dis
covered that, instead of giving him quiz
nine, morphine had been delivered.
Quinine is given in doses of from one to
ten grains; one grain of morphine will
produce death. The acting druggist
was, of course. very much alarmed. He
judged from the dress of the man who
came to the store that he was from the
country, and Immediately went to all
the livery stables, TO the toll-bridge, to
the cars, and to every place he could
think of, where he would be likely to
find the customer, but failed to get any
trace Of him; and up to this time he is
gnorant of his whereabouts. The man,
supposing he had quinine, would give it
to his daughter, unless providentially
there should be some change in her
condition not demanding it. If he did
give her an ordinary dose, death would
surely follow. There is only one hope
that the fatal drug has not oeen
given, and this publication of the facts
is for the purpose of getting information
to the man-if it shall be that the NOR.
phine has not already been used, not to
use it.-Haruord Cowaqt

Effect of the Sums Rays Upon Build
ingS.

A series of observations recently made
upon brick tower forming part of the
observatory of the Sheffield Scientific
School, at New Haven, Conn, exhibit
the curious effect of the suns rays upon
buildings 1t was well known that the
bronze column in the Place Vendome
Paris, was heightened and shortened
on opposite sides, according as the sun
was rising and setting, but the expert
ments recently reported give the influ-
ence of the heat of the sun upon build
ings constructed of ordinary materials.
According to theory, the top Of an iso-
lated symmetrical tower composed Of
homogeneous materials, and placed at
the equator, would, by the action of the
suns rays, and in consequence Of the
unequal expansion on one side, have a
motion back and forth in straight
line. If the tower was placed at the
north pole, since it leans away from the
sun, the top would describe circle
every twenty-four hours. At any place
between the equator and the poles, the
motion would be elliptical. The expert
ments conducted at the Sheffield Scen-
tific School correspond in their results
with this theory, and the top of the
tower also exhibited the effects of
storms and other variations of the
weather in the shape and size of the
figures described, which were very per-
ceptibly and strongly marked.
