younger Of them, who remained behind,
was the son of French planter In the
West Indias, and had been taken in the
summer nf 1890, on his voyage to France,

the pirates had been forced to run into

made his escape, with a large sum OF
money, intending to get out of the Eng

he had been obliged to delay, and various
obstacles lad arisen, in the difficulty of
communication between the two coun-
,, tries, and his fears of being recognized
as Frenchman, he had remained at the
deacen's until he fell in love with Mary,
and persuaded her to run away with him !;

proof that the ten tribes of Israel must
have wandered to this continent. But a
clergyman, who had in his youth been to
Spain, and seen the Arabian manuscripts

evidence Of the descent of the Indians
from some Arabians driven by storm
off the coast Of Spain, and across the At
lantic. In support of this, he wrote a
very ingenious paper which was read be
fore the Royal Society of Antiquaries, in
England.

maintained before

Another EldOradO.

A rival has risen to Leadv1lle. The
latter is experiencing period of depres
sion, though the mines are as productive
as ever, owing to the supply of all the
necessaries of life having outrun the de-
mand. Freights from the railway have
fallen from to IA cents a ton, rents
one~half to two-thirds, and mechanics
who recently got So day can now hardly
earn more than their board and lodging.
Part of this decline is owing to the emf
grafton to the new region, Gunnison,
which lies in Colorado on the Pacific
slope Of the Rocky Mountains. -Four
rivers water the district and supply it
with perennial grass for cattle. Late in
1878 some fine specimens of ore were
brought thence, and assayed very high
indeed. Early in May of this year ad-
venturers abandoned excellent prospect
around Leadville for the newer and more
exciting region. 1t is difficult of access.
There is pass at Cottonwood, through
which a tunnel, two hundred yards long,
through forty feet of snow, lands travel
ers on an elevated plateau on the Pacific
slope. Here scientific arrangement of
derricks and pulleys enables the explor-
ers to lou er their wagons and horses to a
level from which they can drive to the
Gunnison plains. Further South, at AL
pine, there is fair trail for mules or Pc
destrians, but no road fer wagons. Still
further south the South Arkansas opens
a road to the Sywatch Pass, which leads,
by deteour of some one hundred and
fifty miles, to the mineral mines of the
Gunnison.
The ores are carbonate Of silver, Of the
same character as those of Leadville, and
anumber of rich mines have been discov-
cred. Two boys, cousins, working togeth-
er, found rich carbonates, and realized
between them $4,000 by few weeks
work, still retaining one-half of their
mines. Speculation is as high as it lately
was at Leadville, and will probably con
tinue till some new and more remote re
gion is opened to attract the swarm of
immigrants, ever ready to pull up their
stakes and push forward.
The origin of these new ore beds is a
matter Of dispute among geologlsts. The
prevailing theory has been that the met
ais originally existed in veins, and were
washed out by glacial action. A later
theory is that the region was once occu-
pied by vast fresh water lake, which
held the carbonates of various metals in
solution, which were slowly precipltated,
and gradually covered with superficial
deposits of later geological epoch. If
this theory be correct the amount of pre-
cious metals in the Rocky Mountain re-
gion must be incalculable, enough to sup
ply all the wants of the world for ages to
come

RECIPE FOR CORN BREAD.

Two cups of Indian, one cup wheat, S.
One cup sour milk, one cup sweet;
One good egg that you will beat,
Half cup molasses, too,
Half cup sugar add thereto;
With one spoon Of butter, new
Salt and soda each spoon;
Mix up quickly and bake it soon:
Then youth have corn bread complete,
Best of all corn bread you meet.
1t will make your boys eyes shine,
If he is like that boy of mine;

To increase your household joys,
Double then this rule I should,
And you'll have two corn cakes good.
When you've nothing good for tea,
This the very thing will be;
All the men that have seen
Say it is of all cakes queen;
Good enough for any king

Warming up the human stove,
Cheering up the hearts you love;
And only Tyndal can explain
The links between corn bread and brain
Get a husband what he likes,
And save hundred household strikes

Old Jack Mills, engineer on the Madison
and Indianapolis Railroad, is noted for
his irritability and bluffness. He has al
ways claimed that "any pesky fool who
persists in gittin' run over ought to get
run over" One day last week, as Jack
was driving his engine near Columbus, at
the rate of thirty miles an hour, he saw
approaching the track on country road
a two-horse wagon, with man and wom-
an as occupants. he did not dream of
danger, for the wagon was at some dis
lance from the track, with plenty of
time for the train to sweep past. But
suddenly the driver of the wagon stood
straight up, and whipped his horses into
a run-directly into the Jaws of death.
Jacks hand was half thrown up to whistle
down brakes. He hesitated, muttered
"D-n the fool!'' and let his engine drive.
On flew the farmer and on flew the train.
It was stirring race, but neck-to-neck
one, for the engine struck the wagon be-
tween the wheels, knocked it to thou
and splintcrs, killed man and woman, and
mutilated the horses so that both died.
The passengers sprung out to find Jack
swearing like trooper. He was still in
towering passion, but while looking at
the wreck his eye caught sight OF tiny
pair of baby shoes clutched in the WON
ans hand A flood of tears leaped from
his eyes. He staggered up against his
engine, and sobbed: "Just look at them
little shoes, Charley. I-I-didn't mind
so much runnin' over that id drunken
fool who tried to cross ahead of us, and
couldn't, but the little, Charlie, the little
kid that's waitin' for them, that's too
rough!'

recommend that you authorize and direct
that application be made to the authorities
Of the state Of Minnesota for an extension
of the time for the removal of our insane

COMMENTS.

GENERAL COMNENT9.
The local option bill introduced BY Mr.
Langness comes on tomorrow morning Al
special order in the house. The chances
are that it will pass the house, though there
Is strong opposition to it from many quar-.
tiers.
The report of the house committee ap.
pointed to examine into the accounts of the
territorial treasurer was made this
morning and appears in the regular pro
ceedings. A substantial point of difference
between this report and the one emanating
from the council is in the structures placed
BY the former upon the treasurer for per-
hitting large balances Il accumulate upon
which interest wa still running. Mr..
Sherman claims that he is operating under
q Law which renders this course justifable,
while the committee takes an opposite view.
He holds that there 10 conflict of authority
upon this point and that he followed the
law which governed his predece ssor. The
report of the house committee further mem

which to base the financial de-
psrtment of his message. The COM
mittee report is made from the supplement
tai report sent in by the treasurer on the
l4th Of January, while the structures con
tanned within the governors message we're
drawn from the first and materially incom.
plete report of the treasurer. II was these
two reports which caused the difference be-
tween the governor and the treasurer. Had
the latter sent in his last report on the 18th
of December, al the late unpleasantnes.
would have been avoided. That it ha,
finally been happily adjusted will be graft
flying to all concerned. The governor to
day gave a manifestation Of his con6denc,
in Mr.. Sherman by recommending his ap
pointment rs the agent Of the territory il
making provision for the temporary care o
its insane. which recommendation va
promptly considered by the legislature. l
