Two men have just been tried before
the Court of Assizes of the Bases Pyren-
ees for a number of robberies, which, by
an accidental circumstance, led to an in
erestng archaeological discovery. The ac-
cused, Rivas, Il shoemaker, aged thirty
two, and Belliar, a weaver, aged twenty
six, were arrested in May last, after fire.
quent burgIaries and armed attacks on
the highways had spread terror around
the neighborhood of Sisteron. The evil
dence against them was very clear, but
no traces could be obtained of the plum
der until one Of the men gave a clew to
the mystery.
Rivas in his youth had been a shep-
herd boy near that place, and knew the
legend of the Trou d'Argent, a cavern at
the summit of one of the Alps, with sides
so preciptous as to be almost inaccessible
and which no one was ever known to
have reached. The Commissary of Police
of SisterOu, after extraordinary labor,
succeeded in scaling the mountain, and
penetrated to the mysterious grotto,
where he discovered an enormous quanti-
ty Of stolen articles Of all kinds, compris.
ing watches, clothes, domestic animals,
food, spirits, fire arms, etc. The way
having been once found, the vast cavern
was afteward explored by savants, and
their researches brought to light num-
Der of Roman medals of the third century,
flint hatchets, ornamental pottery, and
the remains of ruminants Of enormous
size.
The advocate of Rivas asked for the
indulgence of the jury for these pioneers
of science, but both persons were sen.
fenced to twenty years hard labor.

1t is stated that the rioters ransacked

night. The report is a mistake. They
sent word to his wife in the evening to
get out, and she Immediately acted upon
the notice, removed what personal prop

coal-vault near, and took her family
away. In short time the mob appear

they retired without doing any destruc-

dren, her mother and sister, sought re-
fuge in friends house. Mrs. Pearson

night. The mob had brought coffin to
her, and swore that they intended to kill

New BEDFORD, September 25.-The
bark A. Houghton, 219 tons, Capt. JAS
g. Sinclair, sailed from this port May
%. 1876, for whaling voyage in Hud-
sons Bay, with the intention of working
into the bay as soon as the ice should
break up, and wintering there so as to
take advantage of the whaling season as
soon as the ice should break this year
All went well until June -, 1877, when,
at ) 80 p. M, in thick snow storm, the
bark ran upon a reef in the bay, and
about twenty five miles southeast of Cape
Fullerton, and became a total wreck
Capt. Sinclair and most of the crew have
arrived home, and relate the following
interesting tale of their adventures:
The vessel brought upon an even keel,
but as the tide receded she rolled over,
stove in her port side, and filled with wa
ter. The bark had taken about two
hundred barrels of oil and 5000 pounds
of whalebone, and officers and crew i'm
medlately went to work to save what
they could, and succeeded in getting all
the whalebone and considerable guam
tity of provisions, which they boated
about mile to field ice, and then drag
ged over the ice to high rock, where
they remained eight days. They had no
fuel and suffered much from cold, though
they built tents of the vessels sails, which
partially sheltered them. At the end of
eight days the whaling schooner Abbie
Bradford, Capt. Fisher, of New Bed
ford, gladdened their eyes. and, soon
discovering them, came to their relief,
taking with them what they had saved
off the rock, transported them about fif
teen miles southwesterly to Depot Is
land, where they were landed and passed
the summer quite comfortably. Wher
the season was so far advanced that i
was necessary to leave the bay or run tn,
risk of being frozen in another winter
the Abbie Bradford took them off the is
land and sailed, August 10, for home.

The Value of Money.

A silver dollar represents a days
work for the laborer. 1t is given to a
boy, who has no idea what it has cost, or
of what it is worth. He would be as
likely to give a dollar as dime for top,
or any other toy. But, if the boy has
learned to earn the dimes and the dollars
by the sweat of his face, he knows the
difference. Hard work is to him
measure of values that can never be
rubbed out of his mind. Let him learn
by experience that hundred dollars rep
resents a hundred weary days labor, and
it seems a great sum of money; a thou
sand dollars is fortune aud ten thou
sand dollars is almost incOnceivable, for
it is far more than he ever expects to
possess. When he has earned a dollar,
he thinks twice before he spends it. He
wants to invest it, so as to get the full
value of a days work for it. 1t is a
great wrong to society and to a boy, to
bring him up to mans estate without
this knowledge. A fortune at twenty
one, without it, is almost inevitably
thrown away. With it, and little cap
ital to start on, he will make his own
fortune better than any one can make it
for him. Hunts Merchants Magazine.

Rutland lVt.) Special to Boston Globe
Tomorrow, before Chief Justice Ross,
the hubeus corpus case Of Smith vs.. Gill
man will be argued. The case Is an in
teresting one A young man named Lee
Gilman became enamOred OF a thirteen
year old daughter OF Willard Smith, a
wealthy Shrewsbury farmer, and know
ing that the consent of the family could
not be obtained, arranged for an elOpe
ment. As it IS necessary to obtain a Ii
cense in this State, Gilman, with friend,
applied to the town clerk, who would not
issue the necessary license without the
consent Of the girls parents. During
Thursday afternoon, Gilman again APP
peared before the clerk with letter pur-
porting to be from the girls parents, CIV
ing the requested consent, and after OBJ
tang the license he met the girl as she
was leaving school, and together they
went before Rev. Walter Mitchell, rector
of Trinity Church, and were married.
The father, hearing Of the matter, OBJ
tanned a writ Of bnbeas corpus, and the
young wife, who was found hiding in a
cellar Of an old building with her hus-
band, was taken in charge by an officer
of the court. Both the husband and
wife evidently mean business, both pro-
claiming uudying love for one another,
and the husband disclaiming any design
on the old mans property. The parents
Of the girl, who is hardly more than a
child, acknowledge the influence Of Gil
man over their daughter, but claim that
it has been gained surreptitiously and for
bad motives. The letter was evidently
a forgery, but as it was not for the OBJ
tanning Of value by fraud its author IS
not amenable to the law Gilman is
twenty-three years Of age, and has been
employed as a teamster the past summer.
He is not charged with being youth of

not bear too strict an inquiry. 1t is al
lowed that the cause of most actions,
good or bad, may be resolved into the

utterly failed to obtain any satisfaction

detailing the difficulties through which
the commission passed before reaching
the Indian band, and the reluctance of
the Indians in yielding to the per.
suasions Of the Canadians, and
allowing an interview to take place, they
fearing some trap was about to be sprung

Americans, ard distrusts his own tribe

shake hands with the commissioners
and said he wanted them to sit out in
full view and not behind the tables.
They complied and General Terry ad.
dressed them, stating the object Of the
visit was, namely, that the President
wished hostilities to cease forever for the
sake Of all parties. If the Indians would
return and refrain from hostile acts
against the United States government a
free pardon would be given for all past
acts, no attempt would be made 10
punish them and the past would be for.
gotten. This the President promised.
DE went on to say that all other hostile
Indians had now surrendered to the
United States authorities. and had re-
ceived no punishment whatever, but
had been received as friends. They
had received or would receive the pro.
ceeds Of the sales of their horses
and arms, and had been presented
With COWS, and had otherwise received

The savage warrior smiled broadly at
the mention Of surrender, The speech
produced no effect, the offer Of peace
was rejected, the council broke up and
