A PIRATES CONFESSION.
THE MYSTERY OF THEoDosIA ALsToN's s
FATE SOLVED.

FATE SOLVED.
A Michigan correspondent Of the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, writing from Battle
Creek saws. The reader Of biographies
will remember that Theodosia, the only
daughter Of Aaron Burr, was never
heard Of after her voyage to visit her
father in New York, and that hitherto
all speculations as to her death and dis
appearance have been fruitless. James
Parton, in his latest revised life of Burr,
mentions that no tidings were ever re-
ceiyed of the vessel upon which she
sailed She was the wife of Joseph AL
ston, then governor of South Carolina
After the death Of her only son she la4-
guished, and her health fast failed her.
With view OF improving it, and again
seeing her beloved father, she sailed from
Charleston on the schooner Patriot,
Dec. 30, 1872, on voyage to New
York. The vessel was commanded by
on experienced captain, and had for
sailiug-msster an old pilot, noted for his
skill aud courage. The vessel was a
staunch ship and notedfor fast sailing,
and 1T was expected that they would
reace their destinations in abont five
days. Timothy Green, a retired lawyer
of New York. friend Of Col. Burr,
went by land to accompany her, and the
news of their departure was communi-
crted to Burr, who was looking forward
with great anticipation of Joy to the yis-
it of his daughter, after SO many years
of separation. The full time for the ar
rival of the vessel was passed, and still
it did not come. Every possible means
was resorted to to obtain information,
but no tidings were ever heard Of the
vessel Or the passengers. AT last, when
Burr came to realize that his daughter
was lost, the blow nearly killed him.
Parton says in his history that be wrote
to her husband, Gov. Alston, that the
world was blank to him, and felt "sev-
cred from the whole human race"

AN ITEM EoR SCIENTISTS.

Jupiter is trying to outdo the las
dies thisyear: he has a new belt
twenty four thousand miles long by
eight thousand IN width. 1t is led,
and for this reason there is some
doubt about its being atmosphere,
through which the red-hot body
of the planet is visible. In this
case the astronomers say he is still
in a molted state and hasn't begun
TO cool off yet. Leaving these ab.
stract scientific questions for the
man with telescope, there are
two ways Of, accounting for the
phenomena. One is that he is
simply having redshot presicenti-
al election. The other is, that, ad.
mitting the belt theory as correct,
he has heard ofthe Mississippi plan
and has strapped on his pistols to
60 to the polls. He is going to
elect his man venif he has to
'put the other fellow. out to dv it.

FINDING GIRL IN THE BIBLE.


An English missionary, short time
ago, related remarkable incident.
There was a lodging house in his district
which he had long desired to enter, but
was deferred from sodoiug by his friend,
who feared that his life would be there
by endangered. He became at length
SO uneasy that lie determined to risk
all consequences and thy to gain admis-
sion. So one day he gave a somewhat
timid knock at the door, in response TO
which coarse voice reared out, "Whos
there?n and at the same moment n
vicious looking woman opened the door
and ordered the man Of God away.
LET him come in, and see who he is,
and what he wants." growled out the
same voice. The missionary walked in
and bowing politely to the rough look
ing man whom he had just heard speak.

The missionary was perplexed, but
at length quietly said; II will take

"Well then" said the man, ''hcrC

The Berlin newspapers direct attention
to the appearance which the rlauet Ju-
piter just now presents. A yermilion-
colored spot covers space equal to about
one. .filtieth of the whole visible sur
face. 1t is situated in the northern hem
isphere OF the planet. and is cIliptical
in shape, and the astronomers declare
that it is an affection Of tile planetary
body itself and not Of its atmosphere.
There il no record Of similar
phenomenon having been previously OBJ
served, and the explanation generally
given is that it indicates that some great
disturbances are in progress within the
planetary substance. We may obtain
some notion of the extent of the disturb.
ance by noting that the size Of the spot
with reference to the whole area Of Ju,
piter's surface is as large as the whole o.
Europe is with reference to the surfac,
of the earth.

ANOTHER AGETATOR SENTENCED.

In the San Francisco Police Court,
last Saturday, Judge Rix sentenced
Cannon, the agitator, to six months
Imprisonment and to pay a fine Of
$1,000. Defendant moved for new
trial, which motion the Court denied,
and Cannon was sent to the House of
Correction.
Kearney was sentenced week ago
to six months Imprisonment, and to
pay a fine similar to that imposed on
Cannon, but he is not in Jail He has
money, and gave bail for his appear
ance pending action ON writ of habeas
corpus. 1t will give rise to much un-
favorable comment, and prove to some
extent what has been charged by the
Workingmen, if Kearney, who is Gem
paratively rich, and Cannon, who is
poor, are treated differently. Every
body is aware that Kearney has done
more to incite riots in San Francisco
than Cannon, yet Denis, by virtue of
the coin which he received for selling
out to the corporations in the recent
election in California, is allowed to run
at large while Cannon, whose offense is
certainly no greater than Kearney's,
has to 60 to Jail. The law should
make no distinction between the agi-.
tators, who have been convicted Of
similar otfenses, unless the object is to
prove what Kearney and Cannon have
repeatedly charged, that coin covers
multitude of ofenses, in the eyes of
the authorities.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE.

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee meets at Virginia City to-day.
The call issued by the Chairman Of the
committee stated that the meeting was
for the purpose of calling State Con-
vention, to elect six delegates to the
National Democratic Convention, to be
held in Cincinnati on June 22d. If the
committee is governed by the letter of
the call, of course they will call con-
vention and apportion delegates to the
same from the several counties; but if
they act like sensible men, they will
appoint the delegates and let them go
to Cincinnati uninstructed. 1t will be
impossible to get the opinion of the
masses of the Democratic party on
Presidential preferences at the time the
convention will have to be held, and it
will only entail unnecessary expense on
people who are not overburdened with
coin. A great many Democrats would
like to have Tilden nominated at Gin
einnati; not because they have any
great personal fancy for the man, but
for the reason that they believe that he
was constitutionally elected in 1876,
and that man who received pop ular'
majority of over $50, 900 votes at the
Presidential election that year, should
be the standard-bearer of the party in
1850. None of them, however, want
him nominated unless there are reason
able prospects of his carrying New
York. This he can not do unless the
Tammanyites are conciliated, and it
would therefore be folly to send tho.
Nevada delegation to Cincinnati pledged
to vote for or against Tilden, as the
breach in New York may be closed, Or
opened so wide that it cannot be
bridged, before the National Conven-
ton assemblies. Under these circuan-
stances, it would be folly to instruct
the Nevada delegation for any Presi-
dental aspirant. 1t is difereBs with
the Republicans, who seem to be divid-
cd between Grant and Blaine, and it is
proper that they should hold conven-
ton to determine which the Nevada
delegation should support at Chicago,
while there is no good reason whatever
for instructing the Democratic dele
gates, as the party in Nevada has no
pronounced preferences for any candi-
date. If the committee decide TO call
convention, they should arrange it SO
that candidates for Supreme Judge and
Congressman will be nominated when
it is held, and name Winnemucea as
the place for holding the convention, it
being centrally located between the
Great East and the Great West.

The Latest Spanish outrage

AN AMERICAN SCHOONER BOARDED
AND SEARCHED WHEN FIFTEEN MILES
AT SEA.
Captain Ozias M. Parsons, of the
schooner George Washington, which
arrived at this port on Monday from
Manchioneel, Jamaica, reports that on
his outward passage, when OIL Cape
Mayzi, the eastern point OF Cuba, he
was boarded by Spanish gunboat, the
officers Of which made n search OF his
vessel. At the time he was fifteen miles
from shore and in the direct course Of
the West India traders. Captain Par-
sons, in his affidavit, says that he cleared
from this port on June 22, in ballast,
bound to Manchioneel for cargo Of fruit.
On July 5 he was overhauled by side
wheel steamer, flying the Spanish flag
and carrying four guns. The steamer
did not fire, for as it came abreast OF the
schooner the latter heaved TO. A boat
containing two officers and ten men put
of from the steamer and boarded the
schooner. The officers had their swords
and the men had muskets with them.
The officers came on beard the schooner,
accompanied by their coxswain. The
commanding officer demanded Captain
Parsons papers, which we're shown him.
To the captains protest short reply
was made in Spanish, which Captain
Parsons could not understand. The
| other officer made two inspections of
the hold, but found nothing except few
barrels of -four belonging TO the ships
stores. The two officers walked towards
the forecastle as if deliberating whether
to enter, and then the commanding
officer, speaking for the first time, asked
Captain Persons how many men he
had in the crew, and ordered them to
be mustered so that he might see them.
They then turned and re-entered their
boat without word of explanation, and
put back to the steamer. The con-
mai ding officer was young man, SEEM
ngly about twenty-five years old. The
second officer, much larger man was
about tbirty-iye years old. Both were
in an undress uniform. The steamer
appeared to be about 800 or 600 tons
burden. He position was such that the
entire name on her stern could not be
made out, but the last four letters were
"gary."

PREPARING TO UNLOAD THE
OBELISK.

1t has been at last decided to un-
load the obelisk at the pier at the
foot of West Seventy-ninth street,
New York. Yesterday afternoon
the Dessoug was towed from her
moorings at Thirty-third street, and
the landing at the pier was made
about S O'Clock, too late to accom-
plish anything further. The work
of unloading will begin to-day. The
stones which comprise the founda-
ton and pedestal of the monolith
will first be removed. 1t is expect
ed that this will occupy a week or
ten days at least, as many of the
pieces are of large size and will re-
uuire great care in handling. They
will be transported across the park
on trucks rugged for the purpose.
Captain Gorringe, who will superin-
tend all the operations in person,
thinks that the transportation of the
foundation stones will present no
difficulties.
After these have been disposed of,
however, the real work of getting
out the obelisk will begin. In order
to do this, the Dessoug will go into
a drydock, where the obelisk will be
removed by taking off the side of the
vessel. II has not yet been decided
to what dock the vessel. will be
taken, but that at foot of Court
street, Brooklyn, has been favorably
spoken of. The obelisk will then
be placed upon flat which will be
towed back to the Seventy-nlnth
street pier, where track is to be
laid for its transportation to the site
decided upon in Central Park. 1t is
impossible at present to determine
how long it will be before the work
will be completed, as accidents may
occur which will greatly delay it.
