Lafitte's Hidden Treasures

Some of our readers will recall the
facts connected with an attempt some
years ago, made by two printers in a
small sailboat, to reach Enrol Island,
some few miles southwark of the Chan
deleurs, in search of hidden treasures.
A tradition had been handed down in the
family of one of these Adventures that
an old negro cook, once employed on
one of Laftte's vessels, had been a wit
ness to the secreting of a large amount
of gold on the Chandelier islands.
About five years ago the last of the
brothers in this family, in whom the
pos session of the facts were, started out
singly and alone in small boat toward
the fatal Enrol Island, and he has not
been heard of since. The repeated at
tempts to reach this almost mysterious
land and the many failures have given
occasion for considerable superstitution
on the part of those who look with awe
upon the unfathomable. Time after
time have various parties attempted to
land upon the weird shore of Enrol
Island after secreted treasures of the
bold smuggler, but in every instance
their efforts have been attended with
fatal results.
The stories of the past coming down
to us tell of considerable sums of Span
sh monev. having been hid by lieu
tenant under the command OF Lafitte,
il one of the chain of islands TO the
south vazd of the Chandeliers, hit as
yet no proof of this tradition hss been
found. We learn that, Notwithstanding
all the hazards said TO be incident to
this Quixotio pilgrimage, there is party
forming to make another venture after
this secreted gold. By the 18th of next
month three stalwart young men of our
city propose to dare the dangers of the
deep and the strange spell said to be
testing about S-is mysterious island,

JOAQUIN MILLER.-Joaqui Miller has
provoked many sharp criticisms on his
poetry, but none on his public conduct
under the most trying of domestic atfitc-
tons. He has Professionally refused to
say anything, in self-defense or other
wise, concerning the attacks made upon
him by his former wife and by many
western newspapers. Almost the only
public allusion he has ever made to
these attacks is in the preface to his
new book, where he says :" have been

All thin dresses have lining to the

A FLORIDA DAWN.
BY WILL WALLACE HARVEY.

The moon is low in the sky,
And a ueet south wind is blowing
Where the bargamot blossoms bresthe AID dit
In the orchards scented showing:
But the stars are few, and scattered lie
Where the sinking moon is going.
With love-swe ct ache strain
OF the nights delicious huting
Stirs in the he art, with as sweet pain
As the flower feels in fruitlng.
And the oft air bresthes q breath of rain
Over buds and tendriis shooting.
For the sweet night faints and dies,
Like the blush when love conf SEES
Its passion dusk to the cheeks and eyes
And dies in its sweet di-tresses,
And the radiant mystery fills the skies
OF possible happiuesses,
Till the sun breaks out on sheaves
And mouths of pink perfume,
Where the milky bergamot slakes its caves;
And the rainbow's ribbon bloom,

Like the milk spray on the thorn;
And out of her Chambers blush and 10th,
Like a bride comes the girlish morn.
