life, and, despairing of the oansa which
he deemed "lost" before many of his
fellow-soldiers came 10 the same conclu-
sion, he left his comrades without the
usual .ptelipiHafy Of an HONORABLE dis
charge, and passed beyond the boundary
of the Confederate States into Mexico.
In, due .courselUf time he sailede for
England, and there shipped, as sailor
on merchant vessel. After Various adj
ventures ,ayound, the world, he was at
length taken ill recently, while
sailing in the Mediterranean, and, before
meeting with his approaching death,
summoned to the side of his hammock
the master of the vessel, revealed to him
the above stated facts, and desired him
to writ "a will, in which he bequeathed
tO'Ethe friends in Memphis, who had
nursed him in sickness, his buried
treasure. ~tsss az -,
This was accordingly done, and the
will duly signed and witnessed.

carried out the dying request of the de-
ceased soldier and sailor, and commune

But he had SOME time before sold and
delivered to another party, the lot on
which the valuable sovereigns were de-
posite How to get at it now without in
curing opposition and perhaps litigation
was the question which arose in his mind.
After taking the advice of counsel, he
concluded to develop the whole matter
to the purchaser and of the place,

competent person will work up.

Miss Sherman.

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial relates the follow
ing anecdote. "Miss Sherman has been
a great favorite in society, and always
greatly beloved by those whom she adj
mitted to an intimate friendship. Natu-
rally of dignifed disposition, many
thsughtlher reserve the result of Taught
mess. Muis az contraire, there was never
d girl In Washihgton's gay world less in
fuenced or afflicted with pride of posi-
tion than she. Her independence of
character was strongly marked, and we
cannOts illustrate better what we mean
than by relating this anecdote. When
Prince Arthur was in this city, he was,
Of course, much lionized, and very ele-
gantly entertained. Just previous to
his departure Sir Edward and Lady
Thornton issued cards of invitation for a
magnificent ball to be given at the Ma
sonic Temple. The most elaborate pre-
partitions were made to insure its sue
cess. Artists were for days engaged dec
Grating the room; flags from the War
Department and Navy Yard were sup
piled in abundance; the caterer spent
his time between here and New York (;
otir modistes worked day and night, and
sent from theft, shop-roOfns superb crea4
tons in lustfous velvet and sheeny silk
to be worn on the night. Lady Thorn
ton was beseiged for cards, not only by
people of distinction in town, but New
York and Philadelphia added their
voices to the clamor. Rumor ran rife as
to the ladies with whom he would dance.
AS in the story of Cinderella, the heart
of each Republican princess was elated
by the hope that she would be honored
with his hand. 1t was announced few
days before the ball that Lady Thornton
had prepared list of names from which
partners for the dance would be selected.
1t soon became known that one or two
OF our society girls were in the conf
dence of Lady Thornton. but were
pledged to secrecy. We can't take time
to tell of the efforts made to find out
from them what they knew their firm
ness in refusing to give up their secret
alienated friends, made enemies, and
was productive of the most dire results.
The night came; the fashionable crowd
gathered; the ball was opened by Lady
Thornton and the Prince. When the
tones of the first valse sounded, Prince
Arthur advanced to where Miss Sher-
man was standing, with some friends,
and asked the pleasure of her hand.
Looking at him for a moment, she re-
piled, slightly inclining her head: Il
thank you, but my Church does not per-
NIT me to do the round Dances The
Prince made some pleasant remark, and
took his place. at her side, where he re-
NAMED until Les Lanciers were called,
when he took Miss Sherman and the
head of the set. The effect can be bet
ter imagined than described. Bellies
whose heads would have been turned by
the invition thought her insane, and her
refusal was. soon the topic of ballroom

Raisins.

Spain is the greatest producer of rails
ms. Those styled Valencia raisins find
great favor with all classes of the English
people. A few years ago, crop of IL,
900 tons for the supply of the world, was
considered large; now London alone re-
ceives 10000 tons, out of total of 90
600 tons that are grown. These raisins
also find large market in the United
States and Canada. The improvement
in the article most observable of late
years is that of removing the stalks be-
fore shipment. AS no useful purpose has
been found as yet for the stalks, they are
generally burned. Muscatel or table rails
ms, from Malaga, vary widely in quality.
They are, known as layers, bunch, and
loose raisins, the best being picked from
the stalk. This sort is largely used in
the United States. The finest growth OF
Muscatels comes to this country in deco
rated boxes, with colored paper and lace
edgings, increasing the expense of pack.

IT Is: less than seventy years since
illuminating gas wasintroduced. Writ
ing from London In 1897, Walter Scott
sneeringly referred to the folly of Ger
man who actually proposed lighting the
streets of the city with-coal-gas. 1t is to
Germany that the world is now indebted
for an invention which will probably
supersede lamplighteis, their torches,
and ladders, and also electric wires. Ger
tain German engineers have constructed
an apparatus which is quite simple, and
can be affixed to all gassjets. 1t acts
solely blythe increased pressure which is
laid on from the gasometer at lighting
time. When the gas is TUNED on-at the,
main, all the burners fitted with the
apparatus are at once lighted, and the
