A Story of Treasmre.TrOve.

About three weeks ago a boy named
Kennedy, jumping over gap in q
stone wall at Yonkers, N. Y, stumbled
and fell, the stone which tripped him
rolling after him. On going to the
place from which it rolled he found in
the cavity cigar box containing large
amount of greenbacks, and behind the
box a second roll. On his way home
he told several people of his good for
tune, and the result was that man
named Moynahan claimed to have lost
the money aud demanded it, the boy
yielding and receiving few dollars by
way Of reward. Moynahan then
divided the money with two of his
companions. The boys father, however,
demanded the restoration of the
money, and, receiving no salts
faction, instituted suit to obtain it.
The sum is said to DO not less than
$1,000. It is supposed to have been
hidden in the wall by a deformed mau
known as "Paddy, the Cowboy, u
whose mother was tlrunkard, and who
concealed his wages in order to keep
his money out of her reach. She died
about i've years ago, Paddy attending
her faithfully in her last illness. But
on rcsuming work he could not remcm
Der where he had bidder his money,
aud, having sought unsucccssfully to,
months, he gave up tho hunt. He says
that the amount was only $500 He also
has commenced suit against Moyna'
han and the men who received shares
OF the money, and the people Of Yonk
ers have very pretty triangular fight
to talk about.

My object now, returned Mr. English,

The Wrong Spring.

rEo" VIZ SUZUKI \O1Isl D1uucrs
The following story is from Bartlett
Springs, where, as is we'll known, there
are IL number of small springs possess-
ing various qualities. The water of
some is recommended for drinking
purposes, of others for bathing, or for
the cure of certain diseases but the
one TO which our narrative refers is a
small soda spring, the water OF which
is considered an cxcell' ut drink, and
the spring recommended for the cure
of corns.
It seems that an old gentleman who
was troubled with corns made it a
practice to go to the soda spring every
evening AMI give his corns a soak be
fore turning in for tho night, under
the impression that it was the corn
spring. Tho aristocratic visitors like
wise made it a practice to 60 to the
soda spring and take drink before
retiring, which was usually little
after the old gentleman git through
soaking his corns. They were rather
fastldious in their tastes, and would
carefully rinse out the cup before
taking drink, but one evening one
OF them happened to como down 9
little earlier than common, and found
the old gentleman soaking his corns as
usual. The heightened chap indip-
nantly demanded what he meant
liant THIS the corn spring?" meekl,
inquired the old mar. * Corn spring
This is soda spring. "W.il. =" sal,

The French Vineyards.

The grape harvest in France prom
iscs to be unusually fine this year.
How large share the vineyards take
in the produce of the country, and to
what an extent they form the wealth Of
I'LL classes, VIC NAV judge from the fact
that there arc 2,3OO,OO vineyard pro-
prirtors in tho Republic. In all the
sunny lana Of France there are only
eleven departments which do not grow
the vine; twenty cultivate the grape
for home consumption, and fifty eight
for export. Most of the fruit is in
tended for the vino presses, but the
hest dessert grapes also come from
France. The famous Chasse)as OF
Fontainchleau arc grown III tho two
little townships of Tomcry aud Cham
pagnc. both in the ncighborhood of
Fomtaincblcau. The vineyards there
produce al annual crop Of about ,00o,
600 pounds, of which the capital con
sumcs about S,M,MM kilogrammes
while the rest is exported to England

The Rny Rnilar.

In his younger days Ben Butler was
q school teacher at Dracut, little
place opposite Lowell, and among his
scholars was q boy named Ray, who
subsequently became an Episcopal
clergyman, and finally developed into
newspaper writer. Butler was then
lank, long.haired, cross-eyed, queer
looking character, and was the terror
of the scholars. He often got into an
uncomfortable rage with them, and
fell upon them with tongue and rattan.
One day Ray gave him offense in some
way. Butler made speech ut him,
wild in its invective Every much
like his more recent speeches), threat
ening him with murder, slaughter,
and all sorts of horrors, and
finally, losing all self control, he made
a rush for the offender, who. however,
srrang for the door, got out, and took
to his heels. Butler seized u big jack
knife, which was laying open on his
desk, leapcd over the benches, and,
with hatless head, heelless slippers
and long-ta,lcd coat, gave chase. The
boy was feet of foot, and ran for dea,
life, getting ahead of the stumbling
teacher. Butler kept up the race,
however, yelling after his flying victim,
pursued him through Dracut, crossed
the bridge over the Mcrrimacl
river at the height of his
speed, entered Lowell Mt full
gallop, blowing tremendously, and
rushed through the streets after his
prey, to the amazement Of the men,
women and children who happened t.
witness the scene. 1t was Big Bcthe

after a two hours raee, made faces a

bursting with chagrin, had to pick NJ
his collapsed nerves and wend hi
way back to Dracut, with the closet

would not be worth recalling if it wer
not so very characteristic Of Butler.

Deep Sea-, Searches Rendered Easy.

Deep Sea, Searches Rendered Easy.
Since the bottom Of the sea is want
ed for international communication
the attention of Ingenious men has
been turned to a field of labor hitherto
almost entirely neglected. While for
years scientists have been striving to
explore in every way the surface and
intestines Of the earth, but COMPARE
lively little is at the present day known
of the beds of the wide oceans. The
difficulties attending the examination
OF the bottom of the seas appeared to
be insuperable until, from necessity,
means were invented to ascertain the
physical condition of the ocean beds
for cable purposes. The soundings in
the Atlantic by our naval vessels prior
to carrying the cable which now con-
meets the two continents, and similar
undertakings by Great Britain and
France, have since brought forward a
number Of devices for more success
fully sounding at greater depths. This
hemp line is being superseded by steel
piano wire, which, from it's smooth
surface, ITS greater tenacity and elas-
ITCHY and comparative lightness, IS
found superior to any other wire. The
problem of bringing up specimens of
bottom, however, offers great difficult
ties.
The United States steamer Tusca-
rora, which is now engaged in search
ing for a suitable berth for q trans
Pacific cable from San Francisco to
Japan, via the Aleutian Island chain,
has been fitted by the Navy Depart
ment, under special instructions from
the Bureau of Navigation, with a
number of appliances for sounding in
deep water, including the machine and
dynamometer invented by Sir William
Thomson, for the use of piano wire,
which has already been successfully
tried about forty miles outside of San
francisco in depths ranging from III
to 1919 fathoms. Besides, Comman
der g. E. Belknap has made an i'm.
provemcnt of the apparatus hitherto
thought best adapted for bringing up
specimens of bottom, of which he has
sent model to the Bureau of Naviga-
tion, which is much admired by all
officers who have seen it. Belknap's
Improvement in the Brookes' self.
detacbing shot apparatus for bringing
up particles of bottom in quilts con.
sists of two cylinders, one above the
other when tho instrument is set and
descending through the water, and to
close teiescoplcally when the shot de-
tachcs on reaching the bottom. The
lower cylinder is fitted with a conical
cup at the lower extremity for the re-
ception OF parts of the bottom through
an aperture, which, while descending
admits flow of water upward through
the cylinders by means Of valves which
close Theoretically by the pressure o
the water when the apparatus is being
hauled up from below. The uppe
cylinder covers the aperture in tn
lower one on detaching the shot, 81
that the water cannot wash out tn

Thus Commander Belknap has discov
cred a practical and unfailing mctho,
of not only bringing up safely large

than has hitherto been brought ur
but also as much water as is caugh
