"A Remarkable Legend Of an Abandoned

The Inauguration of the Arizona dia-

!ude to a perfect whirl of treasure hunt
ing enthusiasm. Tho Cocos island
chlmera still affords the light of faith

now preparing to renew the search for

to traditions of dubious character) on
the lone isle. We have still another
project maturing more brilliant than
all, OF which only q few Of tho main
points have yet been revealed. But in
duo time, no doubt, California street
will be afforded an opportunity of talk
ing stock. This latter tradition of
great promise relates that once on a
time, several hundred years ago, the
early French settlers of Louisiana sont
an expedition into the region of coun-
try now designated as New Mexico.
They founded city in q fertile region,
on the bank of Il beautiful stream, and
which became quite populous. There
the precious metals, gold and silver,
aboundcd profuscly, and tho good pco-
pic, i'll their religious fcrvor, erected
magnificent temple, and endowed it
bounteouslywith their wealth. Among
Its decorations We're lifc-size pictures OF
the virgin and of the saints of their
preference in solid gold and silver. An
earthquake occurred which turned tho
current of their rivCr-or, indeed, eras-
Ell IT from the face OF tho Cnrth-and
left tho city untcnnblo from the absence
OF water. Tho Inhabitants who sur
viVed the calamity, few in number,
gathered their Immense treasures and
deposited them in II pit, which was on
cavntcd on the plaza in front of their
splendid church. They then attcmpt-
ca to return eastward, but mostly pcr-
1shad by privatiOn or the hands of the
hostile lndians. n record of tho trcns-
ure burying, however, purports to have
been preserved in tho hands of tho
Yuma Indians, dccribing tho precise
location, and indicating the amount to
be MANY millions. Tho ruins of this
city arc said to be disccrnible on the
banks of dry river in New Mexico,
tho most convenient point of access
thereto being Albuquerque. A from

I The Staked Plains (in Spanish, Los
Llanos Estacados) lie between the hcat
of tho Concho and the Pccos rivers, il
! Northwestern Texas, and are Mt leas,
three hundred miles this side Of the
nearest point in the Territory of New
Mexico. In the carly days of Spanish
settlement in Texas, perhaps as fal
back as l7lO, mines Of silver were dis
covered on the San Saba, in what is
now San Saba county. A settlement
was formed, and mission church was
built by the Jcsuits, the remains of

chihuahua, in those days, being the
centre of mining enterprises of North

to chihuahua, stalking it out as they

About twenty miles west of the Pccos
there is \ noted mineral spring called
III ojo l;scondido, the Hidden Spring
(tidtlcn cye?) Here the Spaniards
were cncamped. During the night
they were surrounded by several thou
sandCamanchos and KiOwus, and driv-
en- to the top Of the insulated peak, at
the foot Of which they cncampcd. The
Indians surrounded this peak, cut the
Spaniards Off from the water, and the
whole party, to the number OF one hun
drcd and fifty souls, pcrishcu from
thirst or from the arrows OF the savu-
gcs. The writer of this has passed the !
spot several times, and on one occasion
While looking for relics, found num-
of copper grape shot, which seemed to
lend Il probability to the sad story.
We believe this disaster put an end
to the mining operations on the San
Saba. The destroyed party were bring

ers, and supplies for the colony, the
failure of which compelled the colonists
to seek provisions and safety at the

Defend Your ueaItb.

The fall Of the leaves not only symbo-
Lies human decay, but promotes It. In
other words, the ClIluvia from dying and
roiting vegetation Is unlavorable 10
health. TO this and other causes espec.
tally excess oflnoisture in the atmosphere
may be sscribed the prevalence ofacute
disorders ofthe stomach, bowels and liv-
or atIthis season. Every person Of bilious
habit Is liGble 10 be reTy bilious In the fall.
Then, too, all persons whose digestion Il
weak are more than ordinarily dyspeptic,
and individuals predisposed to collie, diar-
rhpa and dysentery,Are particularly likely
to he attached by these complaints. The
most complete defence against each and
0lIOi these distressing ailments Is bodily
yigor. To Obtainthis blessing in oil lis
plGntitude where IL does not exist, and TO
preserve and perpetuate 1t where it does
exist, H0stctter's Stomach Bitters Is ear
ncstly recommended. II is the peculiar of.
flee Of this preparation 10 reinforce and
regulate the important organs which di-
gest and temper the food, and convert II
into life sustaining blood. Bodily yiror
depends upon the nourishing qualities OF
that fluid, and the nutriliousness of the
blood depends upon the functional activ-
ity and regularity which it is the special
province Of the Bitters to secure. Hence
tits the best defence Of health at this sea
son, and indeed ut all seasons. When dys.
cntary, diarrhua, bilious collie, and other
violent affections OF the bowels, become
epidemic, rs they often do in certain parts
OF the country in the fall, it will be found
that persons who have been wise enough
to resort to the Bitters as preventive are
almost invarlable exempted from the
