A Relic Of Napoleon.

Sacramento (Cal) Record-Union A
correspondent from Monterey says that at
low tide the timber of sunken ship may be
seen-the wreck of the brig Natalia-the
identical ship on which Napoleon the Great
made his escape from the island of Eliza to
the shores of France, just before the final
collapse of his empire on the field of Water
loo. The Natalia has local history of some
interest. She brought to the shores of Cali
fornia, in 1884, the colony of Hjjas from their
home government of Mexico, which was to
be settled on the frontier of Sonoma county,
as it was then called. The colony came as
far as Sonoma, did not like the prospect, and
returned to Monterey. They came with the
expectation of taking possession of the prop
erty of the Missions which had been lately
secularized-good snug adobe quarters, with
fat cattle on the surrounding plain-and not
to found town in the wilderness, though
that wilderness, rich in its virgin beauty,
blossomed like garden of roses San An
tonic de Farias was abandoned and General
Vallejo laid out the town of Sonoma. The
mission had previously been founded, but the
act of secularization of 1888 had killed it.
and the town rose from its ruins. The com
pany, like the brig Natalia which brought
them here, wrecked. and the ribs of its rec
ords, like those of the old brig, can only be
seen or discerned in the ebb of the tide of the
present time back to the beginning of the
history of Sonoma county.

NOW.
ADELAIDE ANNE PROCTOR.

Rise! for the day is passing;
While you lie dreaming on,
The others have buckled their a-mor
And forth to the fight are gone;
A place In the ranks awaits yo1,
Each man has some part to play;
The past and the future are nothing
In the face of the stern to-day.
Rise from your dreams of the future,
Organizing some hard-fought field,
or storming some airy fortress
Or bidding some giant Yield;
Your future has deeds OF glory,
OF honor God grant IL mayD
But your arm will never be stronger,
Or the need so great as today.
Risel IL the past detaius you.
Her sunshine and storms forge;
No chains so unworthy to hold you
AS those OF a vain regret;
Sad or bright, she Is lifeless ever,
Cast her phantom arms away,
Nor look back, save to learn the lesson
OF nobler strife to-day.
Rise! for the day Is passing;
The low sound that you scarcely hear
Is the enemy marching to battle
Arlsei for the foe is here.
Stay not to sharpen your weapons,
Or the hour will strike at last,
When from dreams OF coming battle,
You may wake to find 1t past.

An Interesting Barge.

An exceedingly interesting barge, says the
Detroit Free Press, went up the Red river of
the North a short time since, and the settlers
along the banks think that, if such naviga
ton is to continue, they will move, in order
to prevent moving more rapidly than comfort
and safety requires. The barge had on
board twelve thousand pounds of nitro-pIy-
cerine, one thousand pounds of dynamite and
fourteen thousand five hundred pounds
of Volney powder. along with a large and
valuable lot of batteries, wire, waterproof
fuse and rubber tubing for blasting purposes.
The people, as this boat passed along, betrayed
no vulgar curiosity about the matter, and did
not interfere with the boat, or offer any sug-
gestions as to its management. They only
retreated to the backwoods in a dignifed
manner, and respectfully waited till it passed.
Happily the barge struck on no rocks during
its voyage, and so Manitoba is still in its old
position. The happiest residents along the
Red river at that time were those who "didn't
know it was loaded"

THE HONEST FARMER.

Happy count the farmers life,
Its various round of wholesome toll;
An honest man with loving wife,
And offspring native to the soil.
Thrice happy, surely. In his breast
Plain wisdom ana the trust in God;
His path more straight from east to west
Than politician ever trod.
His gains no loss to other men;
His Stalwart blows inf1ict no wound;
Not busy with his tongue or pen,
He questions truthful sky and ground.
Partner with seasons and the sun,
Natures co-worker; all his skill
Obedience, cen as waters run,
Winds blow, herb, beast their laws fulfill.
vigorous youthhood, clean and bold;
manly manhood, cheerful age.
His comely children proudly hold
Their parentage best heritage.
Unhealthy work, false mirth, chicane,
Guilt-needless woe and useless strife
o cities vain, inane, insane!
How happy is the farmers life!

Petroleum I'm utah-

Salt Lake Herald: A short time ago, while
on pleasure excursion IN tributary of the
Spanish Fork canon, Utah county, bed of
petroleum was discovered by some esntle-
men. when hrst discovered it was a matter
of doubt whether it was genuine. but test
has revealed that the article is real and ap-
pears to be of high quality After sinking
for about two feet the rock produced twenty
to twenty-five per centum of oil, and at about
eight feet it will produce perhaps all of fifty
per centum. Some twelve gallons of the
crude oil was taken from the rock, and speci-
mems have been sent to San Francisco, Chi
cago, New York and Ohio for chemical analy-
sis. Oil gentlemen in this city pronounce the
article good, and give it as their opinion that
it can be made big success. As soon as
chemical examination is made and result
ascertained it will be made known; but it is
even now claimed for it that four kinds of oil
can be made from the article, and that it pos
sesses medicinal virtues.

TheOdOsia Burr,

From. Colonel John II. Wheeler's address
before the North Carolina historical society
The beauty and accomplishments, as well
as the social position of Theodosia Burr Al
ston, her eventful life and her premature and
tragic death, have thrown around her name
spell of romance and sympathy which re-
cent events have greatly enhanced. After her
marriage in New York Tin January, 1901,
at the age of eighteen, she accompanied her
husband to South Carolina, where she re-
sided for several years, Interrupted by occa-
sional visits to the home of her father. Her
last voyage commenced In December, 1872,
when with impaired health, at the request
of both her husband Cat this time the gov
ernor of South Cardinal and her father, she
embarked from Charleston to New York in
a small pilot-boat vessel, called the Patriot
From that day she has never been heard
from. By many it was conjectured that the
vessel had foundered In a gale of wind at sea
and all had persisted. By others it has been
stated that the vessel was captured by pirates,
and all on board murdered. Similar state
ments have appeared in the public prints,
and painful obscurity rests upon the fate of
this unfortunate and lovely lady. But re-
cent discovery has been made in our State
which dissipates this obscurity and makes
certain the mode of her untimely end. A few
months ago the late Prof. Pool showed me
an exquisite photograph of the original paint
ing of Theodosia Burr, now in possession of
his brother, DIR. w. G. Pool, who now re-
sides near Elizabeth City, of which he gave
the following account: CDR. Pool is native
and resident near Elizabeth City, in eastern
North Carolina. Some eight or ten years
since he visited, in his professional capacity,
family near Cape Hatteras, and, although
they were in moderate circumstances, he OBJ
served hanging on the wall an exquisite oil
painting of beautiful woman. On inquiry
he discovered that this had been found, with
some other articles, by the man of the house
(uow about eighty years of aee), when
youth, on a vessel that had been wrecked
near Cape Hatteras In furious storm that
occurred in the winter of 1912 or 1913. The
vessel was small one, and all on board were
drowned" THIS picture was presented to
DIR. Pool, and from this the photograph was
taken. This settles beyond all question the
manner of the death of the loved and lost
Theodosia. Itwas near that dreaded Cape
Hatteras-so often before and since the death
place of the fearless and the gallant-wlth
the wild foam of the Atlantic for her wind
ing sheet and the fierce north wind for her
requiem, did this gentle spirit wing Its Hight
to another world.

the blare of trumpet, the roar of cannon, or
the flame of bonfire; without religious pro-
cession, or pealing anthem, or solemn litany
of bells. His sun went down in darkness
and dim uncertainty; his life had been a
strange union of comedy and tragedy; his
blood, no passionate cries of conjugal be-
reavement, no tears of orphaned children.
He passed into the abyss of in6nity and
made no sign; let US not seek to '.draw his
frailties from their dread abode" but spread

of human brother who fell by the wayside,

But is such an argument just? Ger

But as to the second point that the

QUESTION that used to be discussed
in most courts by students OF law was;
ali a river is the boundary oftwo States,
and man on one side OF the river shall
shoot a man on the other, what State
would have jurisdiction OF the otfense,
the State where the man was when he
shot the other, or the ono in which the
man was when he Was killed"' The
Court of Errors and Appeals OF the State
of New Jersey has somewhat similar
case before it, though not so broad.
1t is in the case of HUNTER, convicted
of murder. The blow was struck IN
Camden, n. j., and the death occurred
in PENNSYLVANIA. HUNTER was tried
and convicted in New Jersey, where the
blow was struck. Ii that is the only
hope of HUNTER he might as well make
UP his mind to swing. While 1t IS true
he did not kill hisvictim in New Jersey,
the run of decisions is that, no matter
where death ensued, the State where
the deadly blow was given is the State
that has jurisdiction OF the crime.

IT is hardly yet generally understood
that vast improvement in the postal
service has been achieved by the sue
cessful adoption OF plan for register
ing third-class matter. Now regis
tered package of merchandise, or any
other substance coming under the same
classification, can be sent anywhere in
the United States as securely as a
registered letter, for the small addi-
tional cost of ten cents. The
package is carefully examined at the re-
ceiving office, and is then securely
wrapped up and sealed, and is not
opened again until it is delivered to the
party addressed. A receipt is returned,
as in the case OF registered letter. For
convenience and safety nothing better
could be thought OF, and the improve
ment will give universal satisfaction as
soon as its merits are more generally
known.

Croly, as the last iorlorn hope to resort
to prayer" .,
'Did that save the paper?"
"Well, prayer helped it," said Mr..
Howard. 81 went over and saw Mr.,
