CONFEDERATE GOLD.
Washington Correspondence OF the Bal
timore sun,


timore sun,
Colonel Robert j. Ingersol has been
employed t. push claim against the
Uaited Stat for the gold seized in
Richmond, Virginia banks III 1865, on
the plea that it was the property OF the
go called Confederate government.
The claim is now presented by Will
lam B. Isaacs IL Co, OF Richmond, who
in 1871 purchased 1t The assets of the
Bank OF Virginia and the Farmers Bank
IT Virginia were sold by order OF the
United States Court in 1871, and the
coin and bullion covered INTO the treasury
were considered as part OF the assets.
The history o! this coin and bullion is
quite interesting On the day Rich
mond was evacuated by the Confederate
forces the coin and bullion, amounting to
about $4,000, was loaded on one OF the
las. trains leaving that city, and sent to
Abbevllle South Carolina. From that
place it WAS transported in wagons to
the town of Washington, in Georgia.
In May, 1868, the banks obtained from
General Patrick, then in command OF
the United States troops at Richmond, y
permit to bring their property back.
Several of the officers of the banks went
to Washington and started back with
their treasure. When about eighteen
miles from Washington, il Is stated, they
were met by rowing band, of eX.Con-
federate soldiers and relieved of $3.50 600;
The remaining 800, 900 was safely car
RED to Richmond and delivered to the
banks. OF the stolen S25OOOO about
100000 was subsequently recovered and
taken back To Washington, Ga. In July
the agents OF the banks made another
attempt to remove this money, but Gem
eral Wild, in charge OF the Freedman
Bureau, objected and said he would take
possession OF 1t for the benefit of that in
stitution. They then Appealed to Gen
oral SteAdman, in command OF the De
psrtmcnt OF Georgia, who overruled Gen
eral Wild. BY the advice OF q neral
Steadman, it was then taken to Augusta,
that being considered safer place than
Washington. General Wild, however,
sent word u Secretary Stanton md
others ob,ut 1t. Just As the bank officers
wero starting from Augusta, vita per.
nit from General Terry and safe cor
duct from General Stesdman, u special
Treasury agent arrived with orders from
Mr.. Stanton to transport the com and
bullion to this city, where it WAS PLACED
as special deposit in hetreasury. The
banks then made application here. and
after n full consideration President John
son, upon the advice of Attorney Gen
ersl Speed, ordered the Secretary Of the
Treasury To turn it over to the banks.
General Spinner, then Treasurer, delayed
to comply with the order, and went down
to the cspilol personally and procured
the passage of n ioInt resolution through
both houses, ordering the whole amount
TO be covered into the Treasury. The
resolution was referred to no committee,
but passed both houses the same day it
Was introduced. General Spinner then
Immediately sent the bullion u the
minis to be coined, in order that ali
trace of its identity might be lost

Slaughtering the Buffalo.

The town of Griffin is supported by
buffalo hunters, and is their general
rendezvous in this section. The num-
Der of hunters on the ranges this season
is estimated at 1,500. We saw at Griffin
Il plat of ground of about four acres
covered with buffalo hides spread out to
dry, besides large quantity piled up
for shipment. These hides are worthin
this place from 81 to SLIGO each. The
generally accepted idea of the exciting
chase in buffalo hunting is not the plan
pursued by the men who make it reg
ular business. They use the necdle-gun
with telescope, buy the powder by the
keg, their lead in bulk, and the shells,
and make their own cartridges. The
guns in a party of hunters are used by
only one or tw 0 men, who say they US
usally kin a drove of thirty or forty
buffaloes ON one or two acres of ground.
AS soon as one is killed the whole herd,
smelling the blood, collect around the
dead body, snutfing and paving up the
ground, and uttering a singular noise.
The hunter continues to shoot them
down as long as he can remain conceal
ed, or until the last animal % bites the
dust" The buffalo pays no attention to
the report of the gun, and fees only at
sight or scent Of his enemy. The others
of the party then occupy themselves in
"peeling' Some of these have become
SO skillful they offer to bet they can skin

A New Breed of Cats.

In the little manufacturing village Of
Queechy, VT, has arrived a new breed
of cats. Last spring they made their
first appearance. Several old family
cats, all of them quite aged, gave birth
to litters of kittens of very peculiar APP
pearance. They were long -haired, with
large legs and long claws and very
heavy tails. One specimen in each lit
ter was raised, so as to see this freak of
nature in maturity. At six months of
age they were very large. Some Of them
are striped like a lion, others are quite
black. The fur is from three to six
inches in length all over the body; a tuft
of long hair rims the ears. The head is
like that of any cat, except the eyes Of
all of them have a wild or frightened
look At the neck the fur stands out
like wide ruflle, the tail is covered with
long fur, and would measure, perhaps,
six inches in circumference. All of
them are very active, and will spring
from the. floor. to the top of a room eight
or nine feet high with perfect ease.
When frightened they are disposed to
turn and show fight, and they will not
permit much petting.-Phaladstphia

Save the Old Paper.

Never throw away old paper. 1f.you
have no wish to sell it, use it in the
house. Some housekeepers prefer it to
cloth for cleaning many articles Of fur
niture For instance, volume written
by q lady who prided herself on her ex-
perience and tact, says: ..'After stove
has been blackened it can be keFt look
ing very well for a hong time by rubbing
it with paper every informing. Rubbing,
with paper is q much nieerwayof keep
ing the outside of a tea-kettle, coffee
pot, and teapot bright and clean than
the old way of washing them in. suds.
Rubbing with paper is also the best way
of polishing knives, tin-ware, and
spoons; they shine like new silver. For
polishing mirrors, windows, lamp
ehimneys, ETC., paper is better than dry
cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much
better ii brown paper, instead of cloth,
is tied over the jar. Canned fruit is moi
so apt to mold if piece of writing pa
per, cut to fit the can, is laid directly or
the fruit. Paper is much better to pu
under a carpet than straw. 1t is warm
er, thinner, and makes less noise wheI
one walks over it.''
