Five Millions Mislaid.
[San Francisco Post ]

A small matter Of SIS, 600 900 In United States
bonds and 100000 In gold coin, which the par
ties concerned seemed to have known nothing
about, has been brought to light as forming
part Of the Mark Hopkins estate. Both bonds
and coin were on deposit In the treasury at
Washington. It appears that Mr.. Hopkins
purchased the former some years ago, and up
to the time Of his death neglected to bring
them here or make any record Of them. The
discovery Of this important addition to the
estate of the deceased millionaire was made
through @. p. Huntington, the Central Pacific
Railroad magnate who returned to this city
from Washington about year ago. remem-
bering that the deceased had spoken to him
at one time about some United States bonds,
and mentioning incidentally to parties init
mate with Mrs Hopkins that 1t might be as
| well to make inquiries at the Washington
Treasury regarding the matter. None Of this
property was included IN the Inventory at ne
| quently the heirs are that much richer than
they were previous to the discovery. The
SIS, 100000 thus almost accidentally revealed
will be included in the inventory OF the estate
as soon as practicable.

~ Church.GOIng Horse.
iron the Columbus (Ga.l Enquire

[From the Columbus (Ga.1 EnquirerJ
We have been told of many intelligent
mules and horses. One case we remember Of
mule going into q blacksmith's shop to
have nail pulled from his foot is only
equaled by story of religious horse that
we were told of yesterday. He Is owned by
Mr.. Alexander, Of Oswichee, Ala, who rides
him to church on preaching days, which Is
twice month. On other Sundays he is
turned out to Craze, and it Is on these days
he Is SO religious. He goes down to church,
when there Is preaching, and, with his head
toward the church, remains about an hour
and half. He then walks leisurely home.
This Is fact, and will be vouched for by any
Of the people of OSWichee.

GEN. BEAUREGARD.
What BE Knows Of Hon. Jefferson Davis's
Property and Family.
lst. Louis Globe Democrat


AS to the acceptance by Jefferson Davis Of
the Beauvoir mansion In Mississippi, Gen
Beauregard said public opinion In New Or
leans seemed about evenly divided. Some
thought Mr.. Davis might accept the requests
without any feeling, while others were OF the
contrary belief as the circumstances con
nected with this strange will appeared rather
peculiar.
"Was the lady who thus befriended the OK.

"Oh, the Inventory has been fled and 1t
won't yield the beneficiary much more than
$4,000 or $4,000"
"The reports have stated much larger
sum-$2O0, 900 or whereabouts"
Yes, know; but they were all wrong"
''The relatives are determined TO contest the

ooh, they consider the lady knew what she
was about, and could do what she pleased
with her money"
even this small fortune will be OF great
assistance to Mr.. Davis2"

"Mr. Davis has very pleasant family, has
he not?"
II have not the pleasure OF their acquaint-
ance."
''Did not his daughter marry into a wealthy
family?"
II do not know, sir"
These last answers were made In such q
manner that the reDOrter became convinced
the subject was an unpleasant one and later
in the day was assured by d friend OF Gen.
Beauregard that the relations between the
latter and his old chief, never
fraternal, had not changed.
In appearance Gen. Beauregard has changed
but little In the last four years, and, accord
ing to his friends, is In every way the same
man Of whom the over-conildent South Caro-
linians sung In 1861:
With mortar, Paixhan. and petard.
We send odd Abe our Beauregard.
Gen. Beauregard is now receiver Of q large
bank In New Orleans, and also holds q posi-
tion In connection with the militia forces of
the State which yields small income.

are run small locomotives of four or more
tons, according to the weight to be pulled.
One man manages the locomotive. Vessels
are thus drawn at speed Of two miles or

has drawn an empty vessel six miles an hour,
but such speed Injuries the banks OF the canal.

Elk. Governor Horatio Seymour, ad-
dressing the farmers at fair in Oneida coun-
ty, n. Y, the other day, said al am not
much Of farmer, and have little right to
stand before you as such, but brought over
here for exhibition some potatoes that GER
tainly exceeded my speech. In reference to
the depression of the times, let me recall to
YOU an ancient fable. There was once
giant so powerful that. he could not be over
come. But he derived his strength from his
mother earth, for no matter how exhausted
he might become, he regained his powers
the moment that he came into contact with
the soil. The way in which he was finally
overpowered was by coming into contest
with an opponent so strong that he could
lift him from the ground and hold him sus.
pended in the air until he was strangled to
death. Now there is a lesson in this for us.
So long as this people of ours can seek its
support from mother-earth, so long it can
not be overcome. There never yet was a
President of the United States who when he
left his Office, did not seek the country and
retire to his farm. Washington did this,
so did Adams and jefferson. Our greatest
statesmen have sought for rest, health and
peace, in retirement to their farms-witness
Webster and Clay"

his suite that he intended to stay "several

startled his hearers who mildly urged eti-

too great to be supplied if the coin was dis
