iEhe sLery Of a Bag OF Goia.

On the west side of the street leading
down from the Bluff street bridge to the
Union depot IN Kansas, stands a small
farm house, which, before the street was
graded iGp, stood upon props or stilts.
ii is called the Texas and Colorado
saloon. This house has Fad board
nailed upon it for some time, upon
which was painted stHouse and fuTni-
ture for sale" A few days ago stranger
entered the house, and after a brief con-
versation with Louis Mezzadre, the old
Frenchman owning the saloon, Conclud-
ed the purchase, and yesterday after
noon called upon the proprietor with
witnesses to ,cohs1mate the trade. The
terms of the trade were these: The
purchaser, Mr.. Clew, was to pay Mez-
zadre $500 il. cash for the house and all
it contained, with the exception of Mez-
zadre's trunk and his clothing. This
agreement was repeated over IN the
presence of witnesses, and the sale eff
fected, and the money paid over. II
was now that the strange and singular
part of the transaction took place.
The owner asked for a hatchet,
and before any one could imagine
/ what he was about to do he
walked to certain. place In the wall,
known only to himself, and proceeded
to chop away the plastering, and in. q
short time dragged from behind the
| broken laths and plaster a bag of gold
containing $4,000. Before the crowd
/ present could realize what was the mat
| ter or how this strange discovery had
| been made the strange man had got on
board. of the eastern bound North Mis-.
souri train, then leaving the depot, and
| started east. The question naturally
| suggests itself, whose money was it :
| Who put it. there. and how did the
| stranger know of it 1t is one of the
most singular transactions in real estate
ever brought to the .public's notice il
Kansas City. Since the above was writ.
ten it has been discovered that the ole
FrenchInan had gold and silver stored
away in keg, beneath the house, suf'
| ficient to purchase the finest house IN
| Kansas City. An old servant states
that the old miser had brought this golc
and silver with him from Texas. where
he had accumulated it suddenly and il
most mysterious manner. Some say
| he obtained it on the Mexican frontier
others assert it was the result OF seVera
years trading among the Indians. Bu
| wherever he obtained it he succeeded IN
| keeping his treasure a secret and palc
| taxes upon none of it. He is now on hi
| way to France.

Temperance Meeting at Brandon
ADDRESS BY COL. MEAD OF RANDOLPH.

On Thursday evening temperance
address was given at Engel's Hall by Col.
j. B. Mead of Randolph, the Grand
Worthy Chief Templar of the Grand
Lodge of Vermont.
The meeting was called to order by
d. S. Fletcher, Chief Templar of Bran
don Lodge, and an earnest prayer for
the success of the cause of temperance
was offered by A. Mclaughlin, Esq.
Col Mead was then introduced, and
commenced by saying that the future
historian who should chronicle the
downfall of our glorious republic would
undoubtedly place intemperance among
the most prominent of the causes. In
spite of all our efforts the enemy is gain
ing on us. Every family has felt directly
or indirectly its influence. 1t is to-day
the greatest evil in the world. The
present "panic, in the speakers opin-
ion, was mainly due to the demorallza-
ton of our business men, caused by
drinking. The dishonesty of our public
men, our credit mobilier scandal, and
the infamous salary grab and the general
corruption of our government, which is
alarming every thoughtful citizen, was
mainly due to the habit of drinking, so
prevalent among politicians and public
men.
The majority Of the disasters in our
war was caused by drinking among the
officers. Rum did more to defeat our
armies than all rebeldom. Whiskey cost
us dearly in the war, hon dearly will
never be known.
There is a great deal Of history that
never will be written in connection with
that war. He related the fact that
Stoneman, with 1900 picked men, set
out on an expedition to release our starry
ing prisoners at Andersonville. 1t was
reported that the expedition failed. The
truth was they captured rebel train
and among other supplies which fell into
their hands was lot of whisky. On
this the officers and men got drunk and
were taken by 500 rebels!
Among us the evil exists, and men
| high in church and state conniye at it.
Men in business don't like to NEEDLE
with the seller, for fear of losing trade.
Men ambitious for office, and that inr
cludes nearly all our prominent men,
don't like to meddle with him, for fear
of losing U0tes, and so the evil goes on.
Politicians like to be "hail fellow well
met with the masses, and to be able to
step in and take a social drink with
| them.
The speaker addressed himself partic-
ularly to the young men. He did not
expect to save old ones. He wanted to
see the evils of intemperance discussed
everywhere, by the pulpit, the press,
and in the social circle. Young ladies
should lift the banner g Total absti-
nence or no. husbands. +"
He urged strongly the. State police
system, IS. means of enforcing the law.
Col. Mead is an easy and eloquent
speaker, and we wish. him success ia his
new field of labor. III. ....,.... =. =.

Kerosene.

The i'll effects of the explosion of ker-
osene lamps, which have been so com
mon, have been enlarged upon by the
newspapers. The following incident,
which the Lawrence, Mass, Amertcdn
of Monday, relates, is perhaps to be put
down on the other side of the account ::
''About five months ago we published
an account of the sudden and remarka-
BILE loss of voice to highly esteemed and
well known young lady Of this city,
Miss Maggie Unmack At that time she
was seized with fainting sensation and
found, upon recovery, that her voice
was gone. We are now most happy to
announce that in still more remarka-
BILE manner she has suddenly regained
the power of speech. On Sunday even
while reading letter from distant
friend, the contents alluding to her loss
of voice, the kerosene lamp near by ex-
ploded Immediately on recovering
from the shock of the explosion, the
young lady found that she had regained
her voice in its full capacity, and at
once fastened to her friends to make
known the fact" :" -... Il.

DAYTON, Ohio, has been taking little
census and she finds that in that city of
thirty thousand inhabitants there arc $40
bar-rooms, which consume daily nine
barrels of common whisky, 400 kegs of
lager beer and as many of ale, to say
nothing of the finer kinds of wines and
liquors, which are used to a considerable
extent. Besides the above, the local
consumption of tobacco amounts to f5,-
900 cigars, 200 pounds of smoking. and
100 pounds of chewing tobacco daily.
A statistician,. after a careful study
of the figures, ciphers out that a bar
keeper, at ten cents a drink, gets $500
for barrel of whisky that costs forty.
This does not mean hard times for him,
certainly, whatever may be theprofit of
$3.50 per barrel. The expenditure OF
Dayton for whisky, malt liquors and to-
bacco is more than five times what it
LAYS out for bread What is true of
Dayton, is also true of other localities,
and we doubt not that the money ex-
pended for the various firms of liquors
and unnecessary and foolish drinks, adj
ded to what is paid for tobacco, exceeds
all that is paid for food in Rutland.
Who can indulge in these and complain
of hard times.

Mr.. Webster's manner. He replied that
he had never heard him utter single
word in a careless or vulgar style; that
he never seemed to forget his own digni-
ty, or to be unmindful of the character
or feelings of others; and that when
thoroughly excited the sublime grandeur

great additional potency from his noble
and soul-moving enunciation, and his
few but impressive gestures. | then

one in the South admired your speeches

Mr.. Webster; and 1t is said that Gen.
Jackson was so much delighted with the

ing in it their own local interests and

tion experiment had developed its gigan-
tic proportions, and after the memorable
contest had occurred in the Senate be-
tween Mr.. Calhoun and my ancient an
tagonist, Mr.. Webster, Gen. Jackson
became so great an admirer of the Sem
ator from Massachusetts, that he thought
seriously of making him Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, upon the decease of the venerable
Marshall. "Be assured, sir, he continu-
ed, 81 never, for a moment have

YoU CAN'T SOMETIMES MOST. ALWAYS
TELL. There are great many young
21en in Vermont who think they would
like to be a local editor. They imagine
it a very soft thing all roses, all honey,
a great many treats, dead-head tickets,
in brief, all sunshine. Now, if we owed
these young men gTudge, we should
hope their wish might be fulfilled. They
would then see how different the reality
is from what imagination paints it. They
would learn how unstable a thing is hu-
man friendship, how readily man for
gets favors, how long they remember
even fancied injury, and how cussed
mean and sneaking some folks are. So,
young man, when you see a cheerful,
smiling reporter, remember that you
can't always tell what may be the state
of his innermost feelings. The rainbow
is bright and beautiful overhead, but be-
meath is the moaning sea.

One of the most memorable oratorical
encounters in the history of our country
was on the floor of Congress, between
Gen. Hayne, of South Carolina, and

Taking Care of his own Family.

The Presidents jumping his own son
over the head of gallant and favorite
young officer in the headquarters OF the
Lieutenant General, excites dissatisfaction
elsewhere than in the army. 1t is admit
ted to be arbitrary, presumptuous and un-
precedented. 1t happens to be one OF
those things which critics cannot find the
least streak of humor in, to relieve its
grimly selfish determination. A dull
scholar at the Military Academy; grad
uate rather by favor than desert; sent on
an extended tour of the European capitals
in the company of the General of the Army;
idling away purposeless vacation at the
sea shore and about the White House; and
instead of being ordered to regular service
on the frontier, billeted on the staff of
Sheridan, where he displaces one who has
earned the rank he enjoyed by honorable
wounds in the hardest service-a second
lieutenant thrusting aside lieutenant
colonel, and the better man sent down a.
gain to the rank from which he had risen
by sheer gallantry-this is the chart OF
military advancement that is hung up in
the office of the President, for the benefit
of his own flesh and blood.-Boston Post.
