HOW a MEMPHIS CITIZEN HAS
BECOME POSSESSED OF ~ 900
IN GOLD.

lFrom the Memphis Register. March 2,.l
When the war between the States
broke out there lived in Memphis Il
certain young mechanic who vOlun-
tecred II $ services as Il soldier in the
confederate cause. just before rcceiv-
ing marching orders he fell heir to
81 800, which he received in English
gold, and buried $1,000 of the same be-
lot in the city. The said lot belonged
to friend of the young man, whose
family had kindly nurscd him during
Il prolracted illness, and for whom he
felt deep sense of gratitude. 1t
chanccd that said soldier became tired
of his unreGuitcd life, and, despairing
of the cause which he deemed "lOSt :"
before many of his fellow soldiers
came to the same conclusion, he left
his con rades without the Il ual pre-
liminaly of All honorable discharge
| and pa>>t d beyond the boundary of
the Confederate States into Mexico. In
due course OF time he sailed tor Eng.
land, and there shipped rs IA sailor on
Il merchant vessel. After various al
ventures around the world he was at
length taken very ill, recently, while
sailing in the Mediterranean, and, be-
fore meeting with his approaching
death, summoned to the side of his
hammock the master Of the vessel, re-
| vealed to him the above stated facts
and desired him to write Il will, in
which he bequeathcd to the friend in
Memphis who had nurSed him in sick =
ness his buried treasure. This was ac-
cOrdinglv done, and the will duly
signed and witnessed. The master of
the vessel faithfully carried out the
dying requt st of the deceased soldier
sailor and communicated the flcts,
with the will, to the Memphis legatce,
who received the same. But he had
some time before sold and delivered to
another party the lot on which the
valuable sOvcreignS We're deposited.
How to get it now without incurring
opposition and perhaps litigation, was
the question which arose in his mind.
After taking advice of counsel, he con.
cluded to develop the whole matter to
the purchaser and owner of the place
and ask for the right to make search.
This was done, and the new proprietor
generously forwarded his wishes and
gave him every facility to possess him
self of the treasure. On digging at the
foot of the tree described in the will,
the gold, amounting to 5000, was
happily found and the new owner
made glad by the glittering heap.
Thus did the "brcad cast on the waters
return attei many days" Ard thus is
the truth again proven to I've stranger
than felton, This remarkable state
memt is vouched for by Il respectable
lawyer of this city. 1t furnishes
abundant foundation for a romance,
which we hope some competent per-
son will work up.

The Eclipse OF tho Moon.

The gloomy sky yesterday afternoon caused
q general fear that the eclipse would be itself
eclipsed; but when evening came the moon,
round, bright and unclouded, rose in the east
above the roofs and glittering steeples of the
city. She looked perfectly unconscious OF
what was SO soon to happen to her, though
thousands who watched her travelling through
the sky looked upon it as rather serious
affair When midnight was near the sky was
thinly veiled by light mists, and doubts Of
the complete success of the celestial display
were renewed, yet at last it was universally
admitted thet this, like all the other HERALD
sensations, was founded upon absolute truth,
and completely justified the attention we have
bestowed upon it
Of the progress of the obscuration Of the
satellite and the singular changes in its ap-
pearance we give full account. The trans
formation of the disk which is so familiar to
us into something sinister and strange was
SO gradually effected that none could tell its
beginning OF end. 1t was like the sunlight
moving On q wall, rapidly, as it seems, if we
turn from it for a minute, but imperceptibly
if we watch it. The accuracy of the
scientific calculations of the eclipse,
we need not soy, was completely in
dorsed by the moon herself She acted
with all the promptitude that could have been
asked, and the earth and sun were also per-
feet in their parts, having, indeed, rehearsed
them many times during FIVE or six million
years.
Besides the report we give of the
peculiarities of the eclipse, we publish
engravings Of photographs Of the moon
at various periods of the observation.
These lunar portraits are exact. They show
the moon precisely as she was at these
times, and how far the shadow Of the earth
extended over her mountains and extinct
craters, and they will be recognized as accu-
rate representations By those who carefully
observed the phases of the beautiful phenom-

The Religious Press ON Topics Cur
rent and UncurT0nt.

The Baptists speak through the Examiner
and Chronicle about the dreary church debts
which press down so many churches of the
land, and again about the pretensions of the
Episcopal Church. with Its 255, 900 Episco-
palians swallowing up the 1,50O, 900 Baptists
aud the rest and becoming the Church Of
America Such pretensions, it thinks, are
worse than Fourth of July buncoiifbe. The
Baptist Weekly is not half pleased with its con-
temporary, because Of law of incorporation
for Baptist churches which it advocates, and
which the Weekly conceives is illiberal aud
contracted. The Weekly also advocates
the division of New York State into
two or more denomnational conventions by
the State Convention which meets at Hor-
nellsville this week. The Baptist Union utters
its warning voice against those who are at
ease in Zion at this time, and indicates how
every man may know whether he is in this
condition or not.
The Episcopalians, speaking through the
Church Journal contend for large toleration of
opinions in the Church. 1t believes that 50
Catholic Church must-unless it be mummy
swathed under an infallible Pope, like the
Roman Church. or fossilized by its own past,
like the Eastern-have large divergences OF SEN
timent and opinion in it and allow large room
for individualism within the rock wall of the
faith The Episcopal Recorder, speaking also
in the interest of the same body, and mani
testify, too, in the behoof Of its doctrine of
apostolic or Episcopal succession, makes light
of DR.. Bacon description of the organization
of the first church in Salem, Mass, and the
ordination OF its first pastor by the imposition
simply Of the hands OF few godly people of
the Church The Recorder calls this ecclesi-
astical Darwinsm, and after this example has
no doubt that men can be developed into any
thing without creator, provided only certain
particles come together by electric affinity.
The Christian Union, representing perhaps
the Congregationalists, discusses the compul-
sorry Education law, which goes into effect on
the 1st of January, and from the enforcement
Of which it expects great and important re-

seasonable and sensible article that has yet
appeared on the temperance question Is In the
Boston Plot, which, in o word, recommends
the four hundred temperance societies con-
nected with the National Union to counteract
the drinking saloons by opening as pleasant
temperance saloons wherever the temperance
mon have an organization. The suggestion is
elaborated in the Pilot, and is well worthy the
consideration of temperance organizations

old Truths Newiy discovered:

The other day the Eue,sing Poa informed
the President that he had imposed upon the
republican party ga barbarous alternative
This is explained to be ''suicide or his re-
nomination-to destroy itself or to be de-
stroyed." This is very true, yet 1t is only
within o short time that we have found IL
declared in the able columns Of our neighDor.
1t adds, however, that the sacrifice the party
will have to make will be compensated Ior Dy
the lesson it will teach the country-'rt wlu
give President Grant," the Post says, 'tne
unenviable distinction of being The hrss ana
the last of our Chief Magistrates who mas
presumed to look upon o third term
to lust after it, We think botn
the sacrifice and the lesson would
have been spared the party and the
country had the danger been earlier admitted
by the Post and other republican papers Of
equal influence with its party. Again, our
contemporary says:-"If President Grant,
however, designs to make this New York cleo
ton Presidential instead of gubernatorial
election, he is pursuing just the course to ac-
complish his purpose. And we venture to
predict that if he continues his present taci-
turn policy he will be satisfied with the result
but upon the principle that people are gen.
orally satisfied when they have got enough"
Thus we learn that if the republican party
has no other way to get rid Of Grant for .
third term it will kill itself to effect his down.
fall, like cruelty beaten horse which, driven
to desperation, springs over a precipice with
its rider.

they were but "mo9nshine," 'nidsummez

is a pity, and we say it sincerely, that it has
taken SO long for the republican press to dis.
cover that it was the truth we uttered. But Il
is hard tor party journals to discover or te
confess the covert plottings and even the un
patriotic aims Of their political leaders.

Sars for salaries, which would be amply COW
cred by one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. The Law Department demanded two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars for fund
out of which to pay favored lawyers named
by the Comptroller to defend suits against
the city. The appropriation for this pur-
pose would be ample at fifty thousand
dollars. The Department Of Public
Works, although reduced over q million
dollars a year from its cost under
the old regime, can well afford to give up one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars Of the
amount estimated for 1875. The Department
of Public Parks should be reduced from nine
This should be ample for the proper main
tenance Of the Park in its present condition,
and it is good enough as it is for five or six
years to come The pretence that laws have
been passed for the construction of unneces-
sary and costly works for which the present
managers Of the department are not response
BILE is an idle excuse for extravagant expendi-
lures, for no law can compel the waste or
needless outlay Of money. The works
that are not perishAble can be
discontinued until more prosperous
times. The Department of Charities and
Correction SHOULD be cut down four hum
dred thousand dollars. The Commissioners
can save this amount by purchasing supplies
honestly. The Street Cleaning Bureau should
be reduced three hundred thousand dollars
The extortionate demands Of the courts
should be denied and the appropriation cut
down to the strict limit of the law. This ia
the sort of relief that the Board Of Apportion-
ment should give the overburdened Taxpayers,
and it is to be hoped that Mayor Havemeyer
will signalize his retirement from Office by the
advocacy of such a sweeping and just reform.

Pulpit Topics To-Day.

Again we come to notice the topics on
which our pastors and their assistants have
spent weeks careful thought, and which,
having matured them, they will to-day pre-
sent in all the beauty OF diction and fer
vor of oratory that they can command. It
is assumed by many persons that there is q
natural and logical conflict between science
and Christianity; but this is evidently false
assumption, else DR.. Thompson would not
undertake to prove that modern science testi-
fes to Christianity, nor would Mr. Shippen
attempt to set forth and enforce the divinity
and authority of Christ and OF Christianity
and inculcate faithtulness to the same nor
DR.. Fulton insist that it pays to serve
Christ, nor Mr.. Kennard call the
words of Jesus golden and contend for their
acceptance and obedience to them.
There are matters of peculiar and special
importance to the Episcopal and Baptist
churches on which some of our pastors will
give forth their minds. The question of
ritualism, whose grave the General Conven-
ton seems to be digging deep and wide, is
one OF great moment to Dr. Ever and men Of
his advanced views Hence he will to-day in
d;cate the difference between what he is
nlsased to denominate pulpit religion and
sacro,. rental religion. Bishop Tutte will give
xoc,. ID. ails of what the Church is doing and
must vet o., for Utah, and DR.. Rylance will
show the folly IF perverting the forbearance Of
God. DR.. Fulton. having had q triumph, as
be looks at it, over /. <.oen communion heresy
in the Long Island Bap'st Association last
week, will endeavor to justify ne reouAe given
to its representatives Lee avelfue ana Marcy
avenue churches But if the act of phe ass0-
citation was in itself just it hardiy needs
eny more arguments to Justify it, >and
the Doctors effort only serves TO
cast doubt ON that act DR.. Deems :
will describe Abraham's departure from Ur
OF the Chaldees toward Canaan as illustrative
of the RIGHT kind of faith in a believer. Mr..
Pullman will speak of the open way of repen-
GRAFTON, Mr. Ganse Of the sacred side OF
trouble, Mr.. Paynter OF the nature of the
sacrameptal supper and the symbolical layer
and coverings OF the jewish Tabernacle. and /
DR.. Porteous, Of Brooklyn, will utter some fc rel
bic words against the scandal molcers in tho
churches And from these our readers will |
be able we trust, to choose that part which /
best suits each.

AMERICAN DRAMATrsTs AND MANAGERS In
ellgent and sincere efforts to improve the
dramatic stage we are always glad to aid, for
we agree with Bacon that the stage is one of
the few great methods of educating the peo
pie. We are inclined to believe that this
is the spirit in which Mr.. Bronson
Howard, Mr. AuSustin Daily and another
theatrical celebrity, each Of whom ad-
dresses us to-day, desire to labor. but
their letters are not its best possible exnres.
sions. We do not agree with Mr.. Daly that
the press discourages the production of oriei-
nal American plays; nor with another con-
tributcr that the "Gildel Age and the soc
toroon' are the only two American dramas.
Managers and authors both care more for i'm
mediate success than for q slow but perma-
nent triumph, and this is the great reason
not the hostility OF the presswhy the Ameri.
oan stage has no worthy Literature Of its own.
