The Treasures In the Mud.

Signor Castellani says the greatest
work of italian exploration is yet to be
done. I refer to the proposed ex-
ploration of the bottom of the river Ii
ber. Parliament has already voted S3,-
100000 to the project; the engineers arc
already with their hydraulic apparatus;
operations will soon begin. have the
honor of suggesting this enterprise to
Parliament. Garibaldi wrote me after
ward and seconded my proposals. Imet
Baron Rotbschild in London short
time ngo and he said to me If the ex-
cavations can be natlc by you and HE,
here is the money" He knew. that the
business would pay. Just think of it
Think, of the treasures which that eve1-
lastingly inundating, and everlastingly
crossed and lived upon stream must con-
ceal in its mud We propose to form q
Mtsco 1rJcrino, and to publish cata-
logue of everything we find in the river.
Above all, I want small objects-gems
and coins. II marbles ard bronzes come
to the surface 80 much the better. Two
ways of conducting operations have been
proposed First, to make new channel
for the river. The objection to this
method is that the malaria arising from
the dead fish and vegetable matter will
be destructive to health. Secondly, to
sink caissons or wooden boxes, just as
is done in building bridges. I am sure
that when we once begin, the result will
be 80 striking that money will be prof
fered in abundance. Do you think that

o more splendid investment for capital :?
But we do not want to make CONNER

name. AS soon as we get fairly started
you will see the people Of Rome hocking

How Petroleum is Formed.

The formation of petroleum has been
explained by Mr.. H. Byasson upon ex-
perinental grounds, rs follows: II a
mixture of vapor of water, carbonic acid
and sulphureted hydrogen be made to
act upon iron heated to white heat in
an iron tube, certain quantity Of
liquid carburets will be formed. This mix
t1lre of carburets is comparable to petro-
leum. The formation of petroleum can
thus be naturally explained by the nc
ton of chemical forces. The water of
the sea, penetrating into the cavities Of
the terrcstiul crust, carries with it nu-
merous materials, and especially marine
limestone If the subterranean cavity
permits these new products to penetrate
to depth where the temperature is
sufficiently high, in contact with metallic
substances, such as iron or its sulphurets,
we have formation of carburets. These
bodies will form part of the gases whose
expansive force causes earthquakes, vol
canic eruptions, etc. Petroleum is al-
ways found in the neighborhood of vol
canic regions or long mountain chain.
In general it will be modified in its
properties by causes acting after its for
nation, such as partial distillation, ETC.
Petroleum deposits will always be ac-
companied by salt water or rock salt
Often, and especially where the deposit
is among hard and compact rocks, it will
be accompanied by gas, such as hydro
gen, sulphureted hydrogen, carbonic
asid, etc.

Almost Heartbr0ken.

A Philadelphia letter says 1t has
been definitely ascertained here that the
relatives of William H. Weldon, who at-
tempted the life of Gov. Packard in New
Orleans, reside at No. 913 Holly street,
in this city, near the Centennial grounds.
The father is Rev. Charles F. Weldon !;
not. however, the clergyman of that
name, who il pastor Of st. Peters Ger
man Lutheran church. While in this
city young Weldon was employed in o
dry goods store, at Eighth and Chestnut
streets. In November last he left this
city for Mobile, where he engaged in the
dry goods store of Patrick Pepper. The
father states that he received information
that his son left Mobile on the thirteenth
of February. He telegraphed his son,
telling him to make full and free con-
fession to Gov. Packard, and at the same
time requesting the governor to apprise
him of what would be done. A special
to the Philadelphia Press from Bethle-
hem states that young Weldon was edu-
Gated at the home school of Mr.. Charles
H. Schwartz there. 1t is believed that
Huttle and Sage also come from the same
place. Rev. Mr.. Weldon is almost heart
broken Mt the actions of his son, and
states that he cannot comprehend what
would induce him to commit such an act,
as he was always very quiet at home,
and took no part in politics.

4 SeIf.EXcused Murderer.

The Hartford Courdnt contains the
following Twenty-Five years ago a young
man in New Haven was engaged to marry
q young woman there. For some reason
she transferred her promise to marry, if
not her affections, to another person.
The first srlitor, who was a respectable
mechanic, disapproved of the match and
declared that his rival was a .disreputable
person who would lead his affianced Il
wretched life, and that while he could
surrender her himself, he would rather
she should die than marry that man.
Accordingly, and as he said solely to save
her from the awful fate of such degrad
ing marriage, he killed the girl. He did
not attempt to conceal his deed he JUS
titled it, and regarded himself as the
savior Of the gil!'s happiness. He was
tried for murder, and acquitted on the
the ground of insanity, although ne
stoutly denied that he was insane, and
said that he had acted upon his cool con-
viction of what was best for the girl, and
WIS ready to suffer the penalty of the
law for the homicide. Acquitted, he
was remandcd to the county Jail by the
court he remained there seven or eight
years, all the time protesting that he was
in his right mind, and that the State
should either hang him for murder or re-
lease him. He was then transferred to the
State prison at Wethersfield, by what
authority it does not appear, under no
sentence. There he has remained until
this day. in the same state of mind, ap-
parently rational on all subjects except
that he insists that he had right to kill
the girl to save h-r from dishonor and
that if the State thought otherwise it
should have punished him as murderer.
This is the story of Willard Clarke, who
has now petitioned the Assembly to re-
move him from the State prison to the
insane ASYLUM ut Middletown.

Bazaar Fashion Notes.

The Plastron princesse dress is one Of
the most elegant importations of the
season.
The new spring woolens are soft and
yielding, and though of pure wool, have
scarcely more weight than the sheerest
cumbric.
The plain princesse dress is Of seal
brown silk, trimmed with plaitings and
facings of lighter brown or ashes-of-
roses silk.
De beges are no longer plain or mere
ly twilled, but are imported in the sty-
lish small figures, armures, stripes,
checks, and matelasse patterns in shaded
gray or brown.
Checked woolens will be worn again,
but the best qualities will be finer even
than pin head checks, because these
very fine checks cannot be copied by do
mestic manufacturers.
Conspicuous among the wash goods
are the pretty lawns of generation
ago, with white grounds strewn with
sprigged patterns in bright colors, and n
colored border for trimming.

duelling pistols. Taking up one of them
the general quietly remarked: "That is
the pistol with which l killed Mr.. Dick
insOn "
Pidget's NaughtineSs.

After tea the minister called with his
wife, a lively, pleasant lady, who in
sisted upon seeing the younger men,
bers Of the family. Susie, who was
rather diffident, sat very quietly in cor
ner, but Pidget appeared quite at her
ease, and her "cute" replies to the
lady's funny questions were regarded rs
evidence of surprising smartness by her
admiring brothers and sisters. But how
did the blood seem suddenly to freeze in
Johnny's veins as Pidget, springing
into the minister's lap, remarked with
gravity:
| "Your clothes are all tared up"
care they?" inquired that gentleman,
smiling.
! "You're fool" replied Pidget, good
naturedly.
"Pidget," said mamma, in very Sc
we're tone.
But the spirit of mischief seemed to
have taken possession of the little lady,
and she refused to be controlled.
"You're two fools!' she cried, merrily.
"You're free, four, ten, six fools /"
"Pidget," said Horace, sternly, if
you can't behave yourself, you'd better
| 20 to bed"
Poor Pidget! In all her short life she
had never before been spoken to in such
q tone. She glanced pitifully at Hor-
ace. His face was forbidden, almost
angry. Susie looked positively horror
stricken, and Johnny, who recognized in
himself the unwilling cause of the trou-
BILE, sat with downcast eyes and crimson
checks. The child gazed for moment
into the silent, reproachful faces. The
sight was too much for the tender little
heart. "I- don't-love-none-of-
you," she sobbed, throwing herself into
her mothers arms. "I-dont-love-
the-min 'ster, nor-nobody. I want
to-go-to-bed."
Horace took her up, his anger melting
away like morning mist, as he held his
wee sister in his arms.
"Poor pussy cat," said he, tenderly;
"brother was too bad to scold her. She
didn't mean to, did she ?"
"No. Didn't mean to what?' asked
Pidget, innocently.
"She doesn't even know what she has
done," said Horace to himself, "she is
such a little goose. 'Twon't do to soy
all sorts of things before her. We shall
have to look OUT" and he kissed the
rosy, quivering lips.
johnny, meanwhile was suffering
small agonies below stairs. He could
not bear to have Pidget blamed for
what he knew WAS, in great measure,
his own fault. He would like to tell the
minister SO, but his bashful little tongue
refused to perform the office. Once,
twice, he essayed to speak, but in vain.
The guests had risen to 60, but fingered
for the lust few pleasant'words. Johnny
felt that his chance was slipping from
him. It must he now or never.
""Twasnt her fault, twas mine"
"What do you mean, my son9" asked
his mother, surprised at such an out
burst.
"Why, Pilget; I called her nh April
fool this morning. You know she didn't
know any better.
T am sure the minister understood
inst what he meant. As for his wife she
looked with Il new interest into the
blushing, boyish face, and then, greatly
to his surprise, and somewhat, think,
to her own, she stopped and kissed him.

4 Hard Winter on the Plains.

The stock men Oh the Laramie plains,
says the San Francisco Bulletin, are
passing through the hardest winter
known since the settlement of that couu-
try. The basin, which is bounded on
the northeast by the Black Hills, Oh the
southeast by the main range Of the
Rockies, nnd on the southwest by the
Wasatch mountains, has long been re-
garded as one of the richest pasture re-
gions of the continent. The grass of the
numerous valleys is 80 nutritious and
the range so wide that the stock ordi-
narily live the year round without hay or
grain. The present winter, however,
has been remarkably severe. The snow
covers the whole valley to the depth OF
two feet, and in some places it is three
feet deep. Cattle are dying by thou
sands from exposure and starvation, aud
the sheep are not much better off. The
horses will likely get through h the winter;
they have sense enough to paw the snow
away with their feet and get down to the
bunch grass, and so manage to pick up q
living. The horned cattle, tarding in
the snow belly deep, make no exertion to
help themselves. Stock owners have
prospected for hundreds of miles to the
north and south for open pasture, but
the snow holds the entire alley in it's
embrace. Hay shipped from the East or
West would cost as much for transporta-
ton as the cattle are worth; 80 nothing
can be done but wait until sunshine or
showers dissolve the snow. 1t is esti-
mated that there are two hundred thou-
sand head of cattle, four hundred thou
sand sheep and about fifty thousand
