A Tale Of Buried Treasure.

Nsp York SuH, Sept. IA.
To the Editor OF the Sm-Sir: There
IL buried treasure on Cocos Island. Oh

about all the specie he could carry on

quaiuted with business, he both times
fell through. He IL now over 20 years
Of age. quite respectable, and no one
here doubts his word.
Some years ago Q party OF merchants
In ST. Johns, Newfoundland. fitted out
q vessel aud sent him out In her. Two
sbipmasters took an interest, and both
accompanied the expedition. one OF
them as master. On the passage these
two captains quarreled. By the time
they arrived al the island affairs had
become 80 hot that the old man wal
afraid to disclose TO them the treasure.
However, in the captain not In charge
he had o friend, and to him be showed
the spot. They seorstsd on their per-
sons all they could. and were about TO
return, but on the way the old mans
friend was drowned. The old man
brought back some eighteen hundred
pounds sterling.
This treasure, he says, was stolen OF
carried away from Callao during the last
Gillian war, and consists Of gold In
bars, specie in pig skins. jewslry. and
church ornaments. He says he 10 posi-.
tive II 10 there yet. as It 10 impossible to
discover II without the information he
possesses. Several parties have tried to
get this information, but he would never
give It. Now. believing that hs is under
an obligation TO me, be has given me o
chart or plan Of the island showing the
spot, and all other information. he has
received several letters, one OF which

him some inducsment to disclose the
secret. The old gentleman seems re-
luctant, but I think could be induced to

RUssEILvIE COUNTY THURSDAY

Y, about 200 GOO GGihiii,...a.iei4 came in, of
 whom na1 aIore than one-half have since
 gone back. It would be interesting if
 the outward as well as the inward move
 ment we're recorded. In 1876, accord
 ing to British statistics, 54,554 persons went from the United Kingdom to this country, and 54,597- went thither from this country; to Canada, 9,335, and 6,220 from Canada; to Australia, 32.l96, and 2,579 from Australia: total emigration, 109, ,469, and 71,404 total immigration. Total movement of Irish from May, 1851, to the end of 1876, according to these reports, was 2,415,000 leaving Ire land direct, of whom nineteen-twentieths came to this country; 67 per cent. of the whole number leaving the United King dom from 1853 to 1876 also came here. It IS, perhaps, a hopeful symptom that the human tide which will for yet many years set to these Western shores con tains larger proportions of skilled or half-skilled laborers, and a smaller pro portion ot the least desirable class than used to be the case. Our political dis orders admOnish us that even such uri- paralleled powers of assimilating as this country possesses may be overtasked, and may entail upon us social indiges- ton.

The Greatest in the World

Without a question Buffalo, N. Y., can boast of the largest and most complete pri vate Sanitarium in the world. The ln- valids Hotel was founded by Dr. K. V. Pierce, who has represented hls district as State Senator, and in Congress, and IS known throughout the United States as the originator of Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines, and who has also become widely celebrated in the treatment of chronic diseases. The erection of this mammoth home for invalids was made necessary by the large number of afflicted who Hooked to Buffalo from all paits of the United States to consult pr. Pierce and the eminent medical gentlemen associated with him as the faculty of this celebrated institution. The establishment is said to have cost nearly hali million of dollars and is furnished with every ap- pliance and facility for the care of chronic ailments. A correspondlngly large branch institution is located in Iondon, England. The whole concern is owned and operated by the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso- ciation, of which the original pr. Pierce is P. .esident--his brother, an uncle and other eminent medical gentlemen taking part in the treatment of cases. In treating cases they are not at all confined to the narrow limits oi prescribing the justly celebrated remedies, Dr. Pierct's Golden Medical Dis covery, Pleasant Pnrgatiye, Pellets, or any other set remedies, howekSssgood, but have resort to the whole raJeta the Mdtersa

Duel in a aLady's Apartments.
New York Tribune.

A most romantic duel was recently fought by candle light between a young cavalry officer and a student at the Ecole des Mines, Paris. The officer, M. de Montfort, went to dine in company with another young fellow, M. de Villarnon, and fair friend, Mile. Clemenee Cha puis, at a bouillon on the Boulevard St. M chel, frequented according to the ex- precision of the latter, by the most cop,ms U fdM ladies of the quarter. All were enjoying their repast when certain M, Protche, a pupil at the School of Mines, sat down at an adjoining table and began to make eyes" at Mile. .Capuis. Her host gradually grew more and more impatient at these marked signs of M. Protche's admiration, and on an angry remark from it's object he got up and went to the table at which his annoyer was sit ting and expostulated. A discussion ensued and M. de Montfort presented his card, and the whole party adjourned to Mile Chapuis' apartments, in the Rue des Ecoles, to fight the matter out with swords. The encounter took place by the light of three candles and an oil lamp, M. de Montfort eventually receIv- ing couple of wounds, which laid him up for c fortnight. Matters were kept dark for some time until the fair cause of the duel unlucklly happened to quar- rel with her waiting woman, and in revenge the latter informed the police of all the facts of the incident.

pared to meet them on their own ground.
 They will take advantage of the une-
 qualled system of economy. the out growth of centuries of practice, which has given them the cheapest labor in the world. Hitherto. they have entered into competition mainly with the laborer, but now they enter the realms of gen eral business. They will contend for, freight and passengers by offering lower fares than American companies can afford. The competition will be close, and perhaps ruinous to some branches of business which have been thought sale from Chinese competition. The Chinese question is thus broadened, both in respect to locality and to the interests directly involved. A Chinese company, which competes for the trade between San Francisco and Canton to- day, may extend it's operations to New York tomorrow. Chinese houses sell Ing Chinese silks and other products may crowd American houses, as the Chinese laborer has crowded the Amer ican laborer on thls coast.

It is estimated that the population of the United States, as shown by the nev census will be 4S,205,000. Assuming that the congressional basis of rep resentation will be 175,000, the delega- tions from the different states will be subject to the following changes:
 Gains: California, 1; Iowa, |; Kansas, 3; Minnesota, l; Nebraska, 1; Texas, 4; West Virginia; l.
 Losses: Alabama, l; Georgia, l; Illinois, l; Indiana, l; Louisiana. l; Maine, l; Maryland, l; Massachusetts, I; New Hampshire, 1; New Jersey, l.; New York, 4; Ohio, 2; Pennsylvania, 3; Ten nessee, 1; Vermont, l.
 The south,counting West Verginia as southern state, gains and looses 5, and the southern delegation will remain un- changed.
 The eastern states gain none and lose 13.
 Ire western states gain 6 and lose 4. The net gain is 2.

A Step in Advance.
San Francisco Call.


 When England battered down the walls that had for centuries concealed China from the rest of the wt rid, it did more than it thought. England's object was to secure market for her products, but the result has been to set popula- tion ten times as large as Great Britain's to work in competition with English manufacturers. The Chinese rulers have constantly before them the idea that as there is no limit to the life of nations, time is the only thing which IS exhaust less in supply. Whatever time may be needed to accomplish desired object is taken. There can be no occasion to hurry. If one generation goes off the stage, another comes on with the tradi- tions of the past as it's guiding policy. The improved guns of England com pelled China, against her will, to adopt change in the policy she had observed for thousands of years. After the stun' ming sensation of the moment was over, her statesmen calmly reviewed the situ- ton A policy of issolation was no longer possible. The Western world wanted to trade and had the means to enforce it's demand. It was restrained by no consider ation of right or of future policy. A little present gain was in sight, and England, as the most aggress i've power in Europe, reached out her hand to grasp it. China made such terms as it could, and took long look ahead. Her statesmen comprehended at once the inability of the Chinese to contend against the "ouside barbarians" with more success in the arts of industry than in war. The inventive faculty of s~fl elA hA most active Tn discovering the secret forces of Nature. Machinery was doing the work which human hands did in China. Steam was dolng the work of horses, oxen and mules, and doing it better and cheaper. A new kind of ships foated on the water, and went where they were sent with little regard to wind or weather. All this was new to the Chinese, and they humbled them. selves before the race that had performed these seeming miracles. But the Chi nese went to work as though every indi- vidual in the empire had thousand wears to live, and learned the lesson the outside world had gwen them. In time, they learned to do every thing that the European or American could do. They could build and run steamboats, and use all kinds of labor.saving machinery. Ther immense laboring forte would be multiplied indefinitely by it's application so modern inventions In time, 1t was easy to see that China could plouuce, cheaper than Europe or America, the goods these nations had to sell. They waited for the time to come, and appar ently they think it has come.
