Treasure Trove.

Some weeks ago blacksmith by the
name of Jeffries, residing near Palmy-
ra, Marion County, Mo-, took his fam
lily out hickory-nut hunting. One OF
the girls saw something that attracted
her attention in a hollow tree, and
called to her mother to come and see.
Mrs. Jeffries scratched it out, and it
proved to be an earthen milk-jar COW
cred with paint keg. Upon opening
it $3.50 in gold and silver were found.
1t proved to be the property OF Isaac
and Jacob johnson, who had placed it
in its hiding-place the day before Col.
Porter captured Palmyra in 1862. The
money was given up to the Johnsons,
and they presented $50 to the little girl
who found it.

A New Line to the West.

The New York Tribune, of Nov. %,
says: Steps have been taken to open
new trunk line between Chicago and
the Southwest at an early day, by the
way of the Canada Southern Railroad.
About 20 miles of the eastern part of
the Chicago and Canada Southern Rail-
road-by which it is proposed to con-
meet Chicago with the Canada Southern
at the crossing of the Detroit River
were completed some time ago, but the
illness of Commodore Vanderbilt, it is
stated, stopped work. The roadbed
from Fayette-the western terminus of
that portion of the road now in opera
tion-to Eden, distance of 25 miles,
had been made ready for the ties and
rails. From Eden to Butler, the east
err terminus of the Eel River Railroad,
the distance is only 9 miles, and the Eel
River Company has proposed to build
track to Eden if the Chicago and Can
ada Southern will complete its line to
that place. By this means a continu-
GUS line will be established to Logans-
port, Ind, and thence to Lafayette, St.
Louis, Omaha, etc. This arrangement
will also give the Eel River Railroad a
direct connection with Detroit and the
North and East. The Chicago division
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
crosses the proposed new route seven
miles west of Eden, thus furnishing
direct line to the Chicago and Canada
Southern to Chicago by passing over
seven miles of the Eel River track.
The Eel River Company has agreed to
pro-rate with the Chicago and Canada
Southern, and the Baltimore and Ohio
has offered very favorable terms for the
use of its track to Chicago. The dis
lance from Eden to Chicago is about
$50 miles by the proposed route. 1t is
claimed that there is no intention of
abandoning the original purpose of
building an independent line from the
Detroit River to Chicago; but the new
line will be used until the main line is
finished.

Studying Out of School.

1t is indeed depressing sight, the
groups of girls released at night from
our public schools, struggling home
ward, laden with six or eight text
books. which they are to pore over with
intense anxiety during the long even
ing hours-hours which should be de-
voted to healthful recreation. An anx-
ious schoolgirl is pitiable object, as
with that anxiety comes cough, sleep
lessness, loss of appetite, and long
train of formidable evils. We are al
most willing to say that girls ought to
be prohibited by statute law from stu
dying out of school hours. A law of
this nature would seem to be as much
needed as that which prohibits manu-
featuring establishments from employ
ing youth under certain age.-Jour-

CURRENT TOPICS.

THERE was a long session Of the Cab
met, on the 1st, at which it is said the
subject of Federal ihtefventnn in South
Carolina was fully discussed. -Secreta-
~ Fish, it is reported, took a very de-
cided stand against the policy pursued
by the Administration in that State,
but the Associated Press reporter,
while giving currency to the ru-
NOR, says it can not be authenti-
Gated. A letter from General Ruger
to General Sherman was read, in which
the writer says he acted under misap-
prehension in stationing soldiers at the
door of the House to prevent the in
gress of persons claiming to be men,
bers, but who were refused admittance
by the Doorkceper. As soon as he was
fully informed of all the facts in the
case, he adds, he ordered the troops
withdrawn, and determined to confine
his action solely to the preservation of
the peace.

he had not lived in the precinct long
