An Old French Relic.

While demolishing an old house at
Montematre, and clearing the site for
the church of the Sacred Heart, the
workmen made an interesting discovery;
they found that the wainscotiug of one
OF the rooms was composed of wood
elegantly carved ard gilded The vari-
Gus pieces when put together showed
that it was an old royal coach whose
panels had been used ''to stop hole to
keep the wind away" There is no know
ing how this relic of the ancient-regime
came to he used for building purpose;
the probability is that some Brutus or
Aristides of the revolution of '93 seized
the royal equipage, and contenptuously
used the materials wherewith to CON
struct dwelling. 1t may have been the
coach into which Louis XVI. told Lord
Star to step; Mdme. de Pompadour may
have ridden in it; it may have served at
the wedding of Marie Antonette, or
have conveyed Louis XVI. to the seat
fold. The panels are said to prove that
the coach was very old, but it could not
well have been built before the fifteenth
century; for in 1404 the only suspended
coach which existed belonged to Queen
Isabella; and under Francis l there were
only three, one of which belonged to the
and the third to Jean de Laval Ac-
cording to Delaure, there were great
many coaches in Paris in 1868, and the
parliament petitioned the king to pro-
hibit them, as they took up the whole
street and splashed ladies and gentlemen
riding to court. Toward the end Of the
reign of Henry ". Bassompierre had a
carriage built with doors and windows

One of the most remarkable inven-
tons in the way of telegraphy was re-
Gently exhibited at the office of the Do
minion telegraph company, at Bradford,
Ontario. 1t consists of an apparatus by
which musical sounds can be Transmitted
over telegraphic wires, and every word
and note be as distinctly heard at the
end of the wires as at the place where
the music originates. In short, when
the invention is in working order, it is
held that a concert given at San Fran
cisco can be as plainly heard in New
York as at that place. a second i'm
provement, 500 to be exhibited, is that of
sending messages already written out,
without the usual Geographic operations,
and pictures as well. The plan is to
have the message written on shellac
paper, then placed into a machine made
for the purpose. 1t is received at the
other terminus upon piece Of shallac
paper from like machine, plainly writ
ten, like copper plate. Pictures, the in
ventor says, can be perfectly copied by
the same process. All this work can be
done by boys, and if put into operation
will do away with Geographic operators
altogether Still another discovery,
which it Is claimed can be put into use,
Is that OF transmitting over a single
wire any amount of messages to the
same point, and at the same time. The
plan is to have corresponding number
of instruments at each terminus of the
wire, and one of each of these tuned to
correspond with one at the other etd.
By this arrangement the entire number
of machines can be operated simutane-
ously, and each will sound the one tuned
to the corresponding pitch at tn: other
end, without any interfering Slth an

New STYLES of JeWelry,

Like all other branches of toilet and
costume, jewerly l. s;ibject to the
changes and the vagaries of fashion.
The red and dark yellow gold are the
most fashionable coIors for ladies' and
gentlemen's wear. The first is made of
gold and copper. with tenth of silver
for working, whilst the second is an
alloy of gold, silver and copper. For
ladies factcd jewelry made into pend
ants, crosses and necklaces will be much
worn. This is made of either the red or
yellow gold, and is in some cases COM
posed of alternate pieces of gold and
platina-a material which is largely used
nowadays in the manufacture of ladies'
goods. Bracelets will be worn very mar
row, and in form will be square edged,
round, oval or half oval, while neck
laces are made with pendants or facted
balls and crosses. These and the brace
lets are made in either Etruscan yellow
or red cold with platina links. Chate-
LANES of gold in Etruscan, variously
ornamented in japanese and other styles
of work, including red gold perforated
work, and watches to match, are de-
cided novelty. Earrings will be worn
larger in size, and are like all other jew
elry of the period, facted and of either
red or yellow gold. Whilst turquois and
blue jewelry will only be worn by
blondes and persons of light complexion
coral will be in fine demand and much
worn, particularly the light and more
delicate shades. Diamonds, as usual
will continue to be worn by the wealthy
there being no depreciation in the value
of fine stones. In gentlemen's jewelry
the same varieties and combination OF
gold already mentioned will be fashion
able. Watches will be fiat cascd in red
gold with monographs enamel and studs
and chains will be of various styles il
either red gold or red gold and platina
combined.

Cant. Kids Treasure,


a few months ago Ii member of the
New York Historical Society read be-
fore that association very interesting
paper in wiiic', he took occasion to deny
the assertion that Kidd. the pirate, ever
buried any of his treasure on this coGti-
nent. There arc in the possession of
Squire Gardiner most positive evidences
of the fact that Kidd did bury treasure
on this very island, thai the treasure be-
came treasuretrove, and tina; the colo
NAL government became possessed of
the same thnnus,, John Gardiner, son of
the first David of that name, in the year
1889, only year or two before Kidd's
execution. Some time in that wear
Kidd landed OH the island and buried a
chest containing gems, gold, silver, and
hne cloths valued at many thousand
pounds sterling.
He came TO Lord Gardiner and adj
vised him of the fact AS soon Is Kidd's
fleet was ont of sight file proprietor
manned Il small sloop and sent IL trrlsty
messenger to the seat of the colonial
government with the request that q
-,oniinission might be sent to investigate
The commissioners came and in the
swamp on the northwestern. corner of
the island they found the chest. 1t was
opened and an inventory taken. The
contents were, among other articles Of
value, seven hundred and eighty-three
ounces of gold, eight hundred and fifty
ounces of silver, a number of diamonds,
rubies, pearls, ard ether gems, cloth of
gold, silk, and satin. The original Earl
Belianont's inventory is here properly
signed, attested, and Endorsed, and /
have no doubt that among the records
kept at Boston will he found duly Ger
titled entry of the find" One dia
mond which dropped from the package
was found after the departure of the
commissioners and is now in the possci-
sion of the family of Gardiner Green,
of Boston, and little square piece of
cloth of.gold, part of tl;st which once
served as the coverlct I'd rbaby's cradle,
is preserved by Mrs. Gardiner, of Gardi
ner's island. Another piece is held by
the Kinball family, of Flatlands At
enc time during the revolution part
of the British feet lay in GARDENERS
bay, between the island and Orient
point, and the officers frequently came
ashore for amusement. The oaken floors
of the old mansion bear witness to the
fact that one of their recreations-per-
haps on rainy days when they could not
hunt deer and turkey-was quoits.
From the marks on the planks it is plain
that the disks they used were Spanish
millcd dollars

etc, and yet we go on in the same beaten
track, planting cotton to the exclusion of
everything clse-forcing production by
all artificial means, and extending the
cotton belt up to the very base of the
mounta rs.
Three-fourths of the farmers are I'M
able to strike lick toward the making
of Il crop without giving q lin. They
give a lien and plant all cotton to buy
corn, flour, bacon, and miles. Every
year it has been growing worse, and the
farmers are now more dependent than
they were at the surrender. Is it not
high time to face the danger and make
an effort to rescue the agricultural in
tafest from absolute ruin.
Col. Aiken and other writer's have
placed this; subject before your readers
in almost every possible shape, but so
lar tn little purpose. we fear. The great
troubles is the apathy of the planter,
the unconq iierable aversion to get out OF
the old ruts. He will readily jump at
any humbug that promises impossibili-
ties, but he is ever slow to go system
atically about any change that requires
time, patience, and system.
The remedy is not to be found in any
one expedicnt-bht in Il general reform.
We must practice economy i'll every
thing. We must practice self,dcnial.
We must realize i'll the fact that we are
poor, and cannot afford to live as we
once did. We must try to live within
ourselves as much as possible, and not to
run to the store for everything. Pitch
your crop to make your provisions, and
then make all the cotton you can. But
don't pick out the poorest fields for your
provision crops, and let the grass take
them. Plant a few acres, put down the
manure, and cultivate well.
Five acres of corn, with thirty bushels
cotton seed, and one hundred pounds
acid phosphate to the acre, will make
more than ten planted OH poor land,
with half the work, and the same may
be said of oats.
We have glorious climate, and more
land than we have labor. Cultivate the
best land and let the poor rest.
Plough deeper, take more pains in pre-
paration, and you will have less trouble
in cultivating. Provide yourself with
grass lots-barley and rye patches, mil
let, or corn lots; use every means to
keep out of the corn crib.
You will be surprised to find how
well you can utilize these little side
lots. You will find it far better in the
long run far better than hauling corn
and hay from the depot over bad roads,
when the crop needs work, or the horses
need rest--Eachdnge.
