The Confederate Treasures.

A writer in the Atlanta Consti-
tuition tells a curious story concern
ing the fate of the money in the
hands of Davis and the high offiic-
ials of the Confederacy after they
left Richmond. The fugitives hal
ted in Georgia, near the Savannah
river, and it was resolved to make
an equal division of the amount in
the Treasury, something over 800,
600 in gold and silver, which gave
to each officer and man $685.. But
there had also been carried off from
Richmond 100000 of funds be-
longing to the Virginia Bank, and
this was an immense temptation
to the defeated and desperate SOL
diers. 1t was in charge of some
bank officials, and was stored for a
few days at Washington, Wilkes
county in Ga. After the country
had become somewhat quiet, the
officials started to return North
with the money. Some of the ex-
Confederates who were idling
around the neighborhood heard of
the wealth and laid their plans to
capture it About uoZen of them
dressed in Federal uniforms, rode
up to the small guard accompany
ing the treasure, and demanded
its surrender in the name of the
United States Government, claim
ing to be acting under orders from
General Stoneman. 1t was handed
over to them and they nude off
with it. But one of the party was
tempted to display some of the
money in a town near by, and as
the fact of the robbery had become
known,the possessor of such rare
thing as gold or silver at that time
was Immediately suspected of be-
| ing in the transaction. When ar
rested, he confessed and disclosed
the names of the whole party. The
greater part of the money was re-
covered, but two or three of the
men could never be found, and
were supposed to have gotten off
successfully with their share of the

Alice Lucy. Lady Hastings said:
"Oh, the greatness of the glory

the expression of the dying poet

with Mary at the feet of my Re-

voice, and learning of him to be
meek and lowly.' Hannah Moore's
last words were: "Welcome joy!'
"Oh; sweet, sweet, dying!" said

To the above may be added the last

Prospects of the Fruia Crop.

The Rochester Express says that
it has taken a great deal of pains
to ascertain the condition and pros
pect of the fruit crop, and as far as
it has learned, the prospects have
not been better for years. The
peach tree, throughout Northern,
Middle, and Western New York
Notwithstanding the long and in
tensely cold weather for the past
six or eight weeks, is yet uninjur-
ed, the> fruit buds looking healthy
and vigorous, with a prospect of
a good yield the coming season.
The apple, plum, and cherry crops
also promise well. Nursery men
have no reason to complain of the
small fruits, vines, Towering
shrubs, and different varieties OF
the more delicate svergreens, as
these have been protected by quite
large body of snow, which has
covered the ground with scarcely
any interruption ever since the last
of November.

The Spare Bed.

When [ go to the country to Wis

the spare bed,rises up,before my i'm
agination days before / start, and
I SILVER as / remember how cold
and grayniike thesheets are. / put
off the visit as long as possible,
solely on account of that spare bed.
/ don't like to tell them that / had
rather sleep on picket fence than
to enter that spare room and creep
into that spare bed, and SO they
know nothing of nay sufferings.
The spare bed is always as near
a mile and a half from the rest of
the beds as it can be put. It is Ell
Their upstairs at the head of the
hall, or off the parlor. The parlor
curtains have not been raised for
weeks; everything is as prim as
an old maids bonnet, and the bed
IS as square and true as if it had
been made up to carpenters rule.
No matter whether it be summer
or winter, the bed is like ice, and
it sinks down in a way to make
one shiver. The sheets are slip
perry clean, the pillow slips rustic
like shrouds, and one dare not
stretch his leg down for fear of
kicking against tombstone.
One sinks down until he is lost
in the hollow, and foot by foot the
prim bedposts vanish from sight.
He is worn out and sleepy, but he
knows that the rest of the family
are so far away that no one could
hear him if he should shout for an
hour, and this makes him nervous.
He wonders ifany one died in that
room, and straightway he sees faces
of dead persons. hears strange moi
ses, apd presently a chill galloping
up and down his back.
Did anyone ever pass comforta-
BILE night in spare bed ? No mat
ter how many quilts and spreads
covered him he could not get warm
and if he accidentally fell asleep it
was to wake with start under the
impression that dead man was
pulling his nose. 1t will be days
and weeks before he RECEIVERS from
the impression, and yet he must
suffer in silence, because the spare
bed was assigned him in token OF
esteem and affection.

aged neither, Mrs. Machemer, on
the night of the 10Th of February,

At 1880 he was brought out into

head down and haggard look. He
was accompanied by the minister,
and followed by the sheriff, physi-
clan, warden and jury. AT LILO
the rope was pulled, and he fell
with a thud about five feet. His
neck was, however, not brok-

the twistings of his body were aw-

It's just the Same as if Used
to be.

The girls are planning to get beau
They dress for party and ball andshow,
And the old folks tell US it wasn't so
When they were young and used to go
But the difference is really no more or
less
Than little change ia style of dress
And human nature itself, you see,
Is Just the same as it used to be.
After the verses and prayers are said
The old folks light the boys to bed,
And they lie as still as though they
were dead,
Till daddy goes off to his dreams in
stead
Then down the back st irs, SO sly and
slow,
With their boots in their hands-and
away they go.
And the old man laughs in the morning
to see
It's just the same as it used to be.
Those good old maids are waiting yet
Over love affairs they froth and fret
OF girls they never saw such a set
Every one is a silly coquettel
But if backward something like forty
years
They would carry their meddlesome
eyes and ears,
In freaks and flirts of their own they'd
see
It's just the same as it used to be.
OF coarse TO the aged it's right to hold
The years they were happy, the best
that rolled,
But the truth is plain and ought to be
told,
That the world grows better in growing
old
And only love in its show and flame
Is ever changing and yet the same
Freaks of fashion and charm you see,
But it's just the same as it used to be.

Press Opinions Of Senator
JOhnsOn.s Speech.

: NEW YORK, March 23.--The
comments of the morning papers
on Andrew Johnson's speech in
the Senate yesterday are some
what varied.
The Herald considers it an ear
nest, courageous speech, contain
ing some unwelcome truths in his
arrangement ofthe administration.
Virtually, the Harald says the
address is an impeachment of Gen.
Grant
The Times says the speech,
though nominally on the subject
of Grants Louisiana course, was
in reality on subject OF unfailing
interest to the speaker, viz: The
views and achievements OF An
drew Johnson.
The World considers the speech
sound, weighty argument; its
editorial is brief and eulogistic OF
the ex-President.
The Tribune says it will hardly
meet the expectations of the pub
lie as an argument of the Lousi-
ana case, IL will not bear COMPARE
son to speeches of other Senators
on the same subject. Mr.. John
sons views on the third term
question and his reflections on
Sheridan and Grant will attract
attention, but they lay him open
to the charges of forgetting his
promisa TO ignore old persona
questions in his new senatorial
career.
The Sun says the speech though
somewhat verbose and wandering
was racy and amusing bristled al
over with sharp and singing
points. Mr.. johnson owed grea'
heavy debt, and nobody will bt
surprised that he embraced the oc
casion to discharge it in full.

In the circuit court this week,
James McCauley, q stupid but not
Unlocking man, about 80 years old,
was put to the bar charged with
the offence of bigamy. Just be-
hind him sat tidy, pleasant-look-
ing little woman Of 25. The court
before which he was being tried
granted him q divorce Monday
morning from Hettie Lowe, whom
he had married four years ago,

Directly the decision was rendered,
McCauley was hurried into the
county clerks effice with the tidy
looking little woman, named
Mary Crosen, and was married to
her again, having been once be-
fore married to her, last year,
when he thought with the ignor-
ance of his class, that the unfaith-
fitness of his wife legally released
Aim. The new remarked couple

derstood that an application will
be made to the governor for . par
don, for, while the law demanded
his conviction, 1t was quite appar-
ent from the gross ignorance OF
the man that he was hardly re-
spensibl0 for the illegal act, and
