"What sort of speech 2" inquired
the clerk. ...
Political, of course. My othe,
speeches were political, but were very

"No, sir; mean confusion, excite

"That's what I mean, of course, but
every time think OF anarchy get II
arnica, and don't know but I'll have to
give up the speech"
"Write il down." said the clerk.
The man took up the pen, scratched
his nose reflectively, and wrote: car

waved his hand and began: Peace has
fled and arkany reigns in the land"

the clerk.
"That's so-that's so. This suspense

He halted at the door to examine the
slip of paper, and after repeating the
right word over several times he went
on: :,

The Darien Ship Canal.

Some time since the President ap-
pointed board of engineers, of which
Gen. Humphreys was chairman, to ex-
anime the reports of oil the schemes for
a canal across the Isthmus of Darien,
and to report which is the most feasible.
The board has reported in favor of the
Nicaraguan route. The President has
communicated with several European
governments upon the subject, and has
recommended the building of the canal
as an international work, with mutual
guarantee between the powers that it
shall be permanently neutral. Several
of these European governments have
sent encouraging responses. The
President will call the attention of Con-
gress to this subject in a special mes
sage at an early day.

Henry Peck, on the 10th OF August,
1870, desiring to visit Cape Ann, Mass. /,
with his wife and daughter, purchased
ut the Office of the Delaware, Laoka-
wanna and Western railroad, at Nor
wich, three tickets of the Central and
Hudson River Railroad Company to
Albany, paying the usual fare. On
going to the train that stood at the
depot. MIR. Peck was informed by con-
ductor that the seats were ali taken IN
the rear cars and he would have TO go IN
one of the forward cars. This he did,
and, seeing no empty seats in the coach,
went into the drawing-room car, and,
with his wife and daughter, took posses
sion of three chairs. While there seated
the conductor of the train came through,
took their tickets and passed OF. soon
after the conductor OF the palace car
came along and demanded IS cents OF
each "a palace-car fare. Peck declined
to paw it, claiming that he had paid
full fare to Albany. Upon reaching Pal
atine bridge, the next stopping place,
and still refusing to pay the extra fare,
Peck was elected from the train, the wife
and daughter following and voluntarily
leaving the car. Action was brought
against the railroad company to recover
damages for election from the cars, and
in two courts the jury rendered verdict
in plaintiffs favor. The railroad COM
pany. not content with the decision, had
the case brought before the Court of
Appeals, and the trial, which has Just
closed. resulted in verdict OF $4,000
for the plaintiff. Syracuse Standard.

The seats were jest plain wood,
Too srrer for the sleepy ones;

And when the hymns were given out,
tell you IL was grand
TO hear our leader start the tunes,
With tuntn-fork in hand!
Then good old " China" Mears." and all,
We're heard on Sabbath-days,
And men and women, boys and girls,

And fought ag'inst 'em, too;

Then cushings in each pew;
Next, boughten carpet for the floor,
And then, that very year,

But found my infu'nce heetin'.

The pulpit should come down.
They laughed at all those pious scenes
I'd found so edifyin';
said, "when the psrson rose to preach
He looked Almost like fiyin';"
said that " Elijah's chariot
Jest halfway up had tarried;"
And Deacon Brown sot by and laughed,

LAMBERT'S LUCK.

There is n strange story, yet neverthe-
less a true one, to be given you for your
readers. In the early history Of East
Tennessee, about 1894, as near as can be
determined, three men by the name of
Patterson, all brothers, visited the New
Market valley, with the intention of buy
ing the rich and extensive lands near
what is known as Panther Springs
They brought with them large amount
of money, supposed TO be from $40, 600 to
$4,000 in Mexican coin. While look
ing over the lands they were murdered,
and their money and other articles of
value taken from their person by a hunt.
er, and their bones were burnt in cave
near what at that time was known as the
buffalo crossing," now known as the
Grindstone Hollow, which place was also
the rendezvous of the murderer, whom
1t is supposed, fearing that the Patter-
sons would be missed from the neigh bor-
hood, fled to the western portion of Vir-
ginia. There he died, and on his death
bed he gave way bill that his hidden
treasure might be found. Some forty
years ago, say the older citizens, two
men came with the way bill, giving
description of the place, and every effort
was made to find the money, but to no
purpose, and after several weeks of hard
labor gave up the search. Now for the
sequel
During the heavy snow of the past
winter a man by the name Of John Lam
bert and man fIom the vicinity off
Panther Springs went hunting, and
tracked coon to small hole by the
edge of rock. Lambert stopped up the
hole, and remarked that "he would get
the gentleman yet, if he wasn't pretty
sharp" He subsequently went back Ct
is supposed after the snow had melted)
and found two rocks over the hole he
moved them and saw below them vast
cavern. He returned home and procur-
ed bed cord, tied the same to walnut
tree and descended into it for some 100
feet, and there found the treasure spread
out upon rock, with an old Mexican
saddle blanket spread over it. The blank
ct had decayed unit nothing but the
filing" remained. He also found one
saddle and six Mexican stirrups.
Lambert made these statements to a
friend of his, and showed him a pocket
full of money. He was day laborer,
and did not know wha. it was to have
any amount of money.
Your correspondent visited the section
Of country while the people were making
excavations where Lambert had filed the
cave, ard witnessed with his own eyes
nearly one-half of human skeleton tax
en- out, and all other signs made humid
red years ago. Lambert and his family
have departed TO some unknown country
with the money. These are facts, as can
be proven by any number Of the best cit
izens of Panther Springs s.-M0rTistOUn
(Ienn.) Gazette.
