Story of a 1000 Chunk of Gold

Col. S. L. Hauser, of the First
National Bank of Helena, proposes
to place upon exhibition at the Wen.
ma Worlds Fair solid ingot of Mon
tana gold weighing 400 pounds. This
immense brick would be worth, in
coin, nearly S90,000-more money
than many a man who will be at the
Vienna Exposition, has ever seen at
any one time-and the talk of ship
ping it calls to mind a similar idci>
dent which occurred in 1851, when
some enterprising Californian ship-
ped to Paris for exhibition Califor-
MIA gold ingot, the weight of which
was 100 pounds. Its exhibition in
France caused no little excitement
about the newly discovered land of
gold, and put happy thought into
the head of the French Government,
and one which proved of great ad-
vantage to California. Purchasing
the huge specimen, the Government
advertised it to be disposed of by
lottery at one franc ticket, the
proceeds of which were to be used
In giving free passage to as many
of the poor men of Paris and other
cities of France as desired but were
unable from lack of means to emil
CRATE to the Golden State beyond
the seas. An immense number of
tickets were printed and distributed
throughout France. Belgium, and
other parts of Europe, met with a
ready sale and very large ''emigra-
ton fund" was thus accumulated. At
the day of the drawing it was found
that poor brick mason OF Paris
held the lucky number, and was plac-
ed in possession of the prize-nearly
or quite S23, Provision for the
passage was made and from all parts
Of France came the INDECENT to en-
bark. Many in the great cities-es>
pecially in Paris-who though poor
did not wish to except free passage
from the country, received a gentle
hint from the authorities that the
scheme was gotten up for their bene-
fit and they had better accept it's
conditions. Among these latter
whom the city government wished
to get rid of were class of dissipat-
ed good for nothing noblemen, whose
titles were their only possession,
whose room was considered better
then THEFT company. We do not
now remember the exact number
who accepted the free passage, but
it was in the thousands, and thus
while France ridded herself of q
large pauper population, California
was gamer by several thousand
hardy laborers. In France, as also
by the French in this country, these
emigrants are known as "L'lngots,"
so called from the manner in which
the emigration fund was raised. Sew
eral of these L'Ingots are now scat
tered through Montana, and quite a
number are at the present writing
thrifty citizens of our country.

Age of Trout.

The Newark Courier says that
fish culturists will be interested
knowing that some definite evidence
has been received as to the age OF
speckled trout. Some years since,
Professor Agassiz suggested to
George Sheppard Page, of New Jer-
sey, resident of the Oquossoc ADg-
ling Association, a means for deter
mining approximately the age of the
famous Rangely trout, which grow
to the remarkable weight of seven,
eight, and even ten pounds. The
mode adopted was to take small
platinum wire, pointed at one end
and flattened at the other, and mark
ed on the flat end with the weight
and year. Then insert this wire
in the dorsal fin, selecting a mark
according to the weight at the time,
and return the fish to the water. In
1870, Mr.. Page and others marked
and liberated some fifty trout in this
way, and the practice has continued
eaen season since. No marked fish
has been captured until this season,
when, in lot of trout brou ght back
by the artists Moran, who was one
of large party who visited these
waters early this month, one fish
was found marked 1870, half pound
and weighing when captured, nearly
two pounds and quarter, showing
that the trout had grown nearly one
and three-quarter pounds in three
years. The incident occasions much
interest among all trout fishermen.

Signing the Declaration.

The following gossip about the
Declaration of independence is from
Woods Household Magazine, and is
by the Rev. j. b. Wakeley:
In looking at the signatures, not
one is written with trembling hand
except Stephen Hopkins. 1t was
not fear that made him tremble, for
he was as true patriot as any of
them but he was afflicted with the
palsy.
But one of tho residences of the
signers is attached to his name, and
that is Charles Carroll. 1t is said
that one was looking over his shout
der when he wrote his name, aud
said TO him, "There are several of
your name, and if we are unsuccess-
full, they will not know whom to ar
rest" He Immediately wrote "of
Carrolton"-as much as to say, if
there is reproach connected with this,
| wish to bear my share if any dam
ger, l am ready to face it. There
was genuine patriotism.
1t was rather amusing, after they
had signed their names, to bear Ben
jamin Franklin say to Samuel Adams.
"Now think we will oil hang to-
gether." YES" said Mr.. Adams,
"or we shall all hang separately"
Many have supposed that all the
names were signed on the 4th of July,
1776. Not so. 1t was signed on
that day only by the President, John
Hancock, and with his signature was
sent forth to the world. On the I'd
day of August it was signed by all
but one of the fifty-six signers whose
names are attached to it, The other
attached his name in November
The pen used by the signers is pre-
served in the Massachusetts Histori.
cal Society at Boston. What tales
that pen could tell if it could speak
what a history there is connected
with it
The signers Of the Declaration are
dead. The hands that held the pen,
and the finger that moved it when
they wrote their names on that orig.
inal document, now lie cold across
their bosoms. They all lived to
good old age The average of fifty
three at the time of their decrease
was over sixty-eight years. The
last survivor was Charles Carol, Of
Carrolton, being over ninety when
he died. Fourteen signers lived to
be eighty years old, and four past
ninety. They all sleep 10 honored
graves"
