Treasure TrOYe.

Gold-hunters who still dream of find
ing the treasure OF Capt. Kidd should
read the story that comes from Indiana
and be encouraged. In the little town
of Eminence, about twenty-five miles
southwest of Indianapolis, two Indians
last Wednesday evening called at q
farmers house in the early evening and
asked the way to certain tree. Proper
directions were given and the Indians
departed. Never having seen his callers
before, the honest farmer was curious to
know their object, and went to the tree
by q short road and hid himself in the
bushes near by. Soon the Indians
came, lantern in hand. They dug q
hole in the ground on one side OF the
tree-they seemed to know the very
place to dig-dnd to the blank amaze
ment of the farmer found a copper chest
two feet square, opened it by the light
OF the lantern, and took out several bags
of gold which they at once poured into
a strong sack provided for the purpose.
Astounded at the sight farmer Parker
jumped from his hiding place toward
the men, but In an instant the light went
out, all was darkness, and the Indians
disappeared through the bushes. Mr..
Parker estimates that $4,000 were
found in the chest, and it is believed
that the treasure was secreted there
many years ago by some ancestor of the
Indians in his fight before an enemy.

FAILURES.
-------
What They leach.

The numerous failures and suspen-
siong which have made the commercial
world, since the panic of 1878, one OF
constant upheavl and change, should
be utilized, by those fortunate ones Who
have thus far escaped disaster and by
those who are entering, for the first
time, the field of business life, for the
lessons that may be drawn from them.
Failures, like every species OF mishap,
only follow from a sufficient cause and
usually it is one that could have easily
been counte, acted or avoided if the fact
of its existence had not been unknown.
And it is just here that we find so many
Of our business men weak. In their &C
quaintance with their own business,
they lack that complete command, of the
calling they have professedly made
themselves master of, which alone en-
ables one to understand and avoid Its
dangerous points.
The man who makes study of or who
devotes time to an accurate and scientific
education in the business he has chosen,
as q means for the accumulation Of
wealth, is now rarely found; and it seems
to us that q large number of the failures
of the last three years might Justly be
attributed to this cause. The idea seems
to prevail that business transacted on
ones own account is kind Of perpetual
motion, that, once started, will not only
keep itself in operation, but may be
drawn upon to an almost unlimited ex
tent for the means to sustain other en-
terprises. The inventor who spends
years in attempting to realize his impos-
sible machine is not more certain OF
failure than he who starts in business
with such expectation. The time when
money could be made by ignoramuses,
and when wealth could be had almost
for the taking, has faded far into the
dim past; and an era of strife and strug
gle has dawned, in which only those who
have most carefully prepared themselves
for the warfare can hope to succeed.
1t is not luck that makes one man fail
and his neighbor succeed; it is not tickle
fortune that brings clouds of difficulties
upon one while another has apparently
plain sailing; it is something far more
certain in it's operations than either of
these. 1t is skill and a perfect command
Of his resources that enables one man to
advance where another can make no
progress; and these two qualities are
possessed only by those who have made
their business the one thing they must
become perfectly familiar with.
The world is not yet so crowded that
any need go the wall to support the rest;
there is room for all, and an abundance
to spare. The great want is for more
men VINO are well qualified for work,
and who viii put their shoulders to the
wheel aud push. Any person who is
determined to win. and who unites with
his perseverance sense enough to know
that success comes only to those who
deserve it, by the patience and skill with
which they toll, has before him an in
viting field for labor, and may enter it
with the assurance that if his efforts are
rightly directed, they will meet with q
sure reward. -NortbeOeStern Lumber

Strange Indian Custom.

An intelligent correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Chronicle has been visiting
Two Bears and the Blackfeet at Stand
ing Rock, on the Upper Missouri. He
gives this account of q sacrifice to the
Indian Devil: A dog is killed by tor
tUre, and divided into four parts, which
are put into four kettles and set on the
fire till boiled tender, or till he is sup
posed to be as tender as dog ought to
be. A young squaw, supposed to rep
resent chastity, strips herself entirely
nude, and to the sounl of a low chant
by her associates, and vigorous beating
on drum or tom-tom, performs a peeu-
liar dance with asidelong motion around
the fire on which are the kettles con
caining the pieces of dog, all the time
muttering some incarnation. At sig
nal the young braves, or old ones either,
In turn step up to one Of the kettles,
and reaching in hand and arm, take out
a piece of boiling meat, tear off amouth-
full, and swallow it. They keep taking
out the scalding mess and eating 1t till
the skin of hands, lips and mouth hang
Loose In whitened shreds, and all this
time no sign of pain finds an expression
on any face, and the seething morsels
are slowly masticated and deliberately
swallowed with a composure absolutely
diabolical. The miserable dupes, like
those of many another religious delu-
sion, feel themselves better for it. " The
aboriginal notion is that, if they torture
themselves and evince insensibility to
pain, they will convince the Evil One
that it is not worth while to waste his
time In affecting them.
