The story now current and going
the rounds about the Hon. Jefferson
Davis spiriting away two and a half
millions of gold belonging to the de
funct Coniederacy, is the veriest trash,
or, as some Of the newspaper people
say, swash. Several who were in the
party which accompanied Mr.. Davis
and his Southern Cabinet on their
journey from Richmond to the various
points in Georgia where they branched
off and scattered, and to near Wash
ington, Georgia. where Mr.. Davis was
captured, have often related how a
portion Of the gold coin in their wagon
train was divided out among them.
Mr., Davis, when taken, had no gold
coin about him, aud this fact is we'll
known. Mrs. Davis may have had
few dollars, but not enough to talk
about or make fuss over. The Fed
eral forces, who took Mr.. Davis
prisoner, never accused him of having
any money or valuables worthy Of
mention. The yarn as published is
fictitious, and General Joseph Il.
Johnston, its reported author, doubt
less heard of it for the first time upon
seeing it in print. Eighteen years has
elapsed since the alleged incident, a
long time to let so smart yarn sleep
in silence.

TO GRIEF AT LAST.
Capture of ArgaitI, the Successor
to VlctOrIa-He is Shot by
the Mexicans.

San antonio Express, l5th.l
Mr.. William Russell, Of PRESIDED,
Presideo county, writes letter to Mr..
A. +. Wulf, Of this city, under date Of
December |, 1881, from which we are
permitted to make the following ex-
tract.
II suppose you have already heard
of the capture Of the Apache chief,
Argatti, with thirty of his tribe, last
week, by the Mexican troops stationed
at Presideo del Norte, Mexico, under
the command Of Major Francisco Cur.
dino. Yesterday orders arrived to
shoot Argatti, and at sundown he was
taken out and shot. 1t is reported
that several more will be shot to-day.
The troops killed three Indians in
making the capture, and are now after
the remnant of the tribe, numbering
not more than eight bucks and a few
women and children. | think, as the
Mexican Government does, that dead
Indians are the best.
The above is good news, and coming
from Mr.. Russell, in his position to
obtain North Rio Grande information,
can not be doubted. 1t is strange
that such cheering information did not
leak out sooner.

When the Khedive of Egypt sent a
diamond necklace as a wedding pres
ent 10 Miss Minnie Sherman, fashion
able New Workers grew envious of the
fair daughter Of the General of Uncle
Sam armies; and yet a more elegant
gem than the combined diamonds in
the Khedive's gift came to this city
unheralded few months ago, ami 1,
with the exception of few people, has
remained in its case unadmired. 1t is
valued at 100000. Hundreds of years
ago this brilliant was famous in
India, and was known as the Pearl
OF India. lAt the beginning of
the present century it belonged
to a Rajah In India. Accounts OF
Its great beauty coming to the ears OF
the Viceroy Of Egypt he sent a special
commission to the Rajah to negotiate
for its purchase. The commission was
successful. Shortly after it had come
into the possession of the Viceroy his
tavorite daughter was married to the
Sultan and the Pearl of India consti
tuted one of her wedding presents.
Since then it has remained in the
keeping ofthe imperial family Of Tur.
key until purchased recently by New
York firm.
This gem has no superior in Ameri
ca, and is claimed to be the most ele
CANT ever seen anywhere. It is an old
mine stone and weighs % ZIG karats
1t is cut in the old style, and experts
both In the Old and New World de-
clare that in this respect it cannot be
improved. 1t is absolutely perfect
and will bear the closest inspection
under the most powerful glass, which
is a remarkable fact, considering the
size of the stone.

Old Ir. Reod,s Money.

indianapolis Journal
A wealthy old man named Reed,
living near Rainsville, Ind, is afraid
Of banks, and has been in the habit Of
secreting his money in different places
on his farm, and for the past few
months has had between $4,000 and
$4,000 hidden away in tin box,
which was placed in wooden box,
and this hidden under the hay in the
barn. A few days since the money
disappeared. Reed has son Oscar,
who has given the family considerable
trouble having on two occasions stolen
sums Of money from his father. A
warrant was sworn out for
the arrest of young Reed,
but before the constable reached the
farm on his way to make the arrest
about $4,000 of the stolen money was
found, but not where Reed first hid it.
The money returned by the thief
$1,000 in gold and about $4,000 in
greenbacks and national bank notes,
was found in a meal sack, which had
been thrown into a buggy standing in
the barn. No arrests were made. Old
Mr. Reed now deposits his spare
change in q bank.

The Arctic exploring steamer
Jeanette, belonging to Mr.. James
Gordon Bennett, of the New York
Herald, sent out from San Francis
co, two years ago last June, under
Lieutenant DeLong of the navy, is
reported to have been crushed in the
ice on the 1lth Of June last, in latitude
77o longitude l50 z, about 300 miles
from the northeast coast of Russian
Siberia. The Jeannette's crew en-
barked in three boats, two of which are
known to be safe, and the other is yet
missing. Engineer Melville with
eleven men, in boat number
three, landed September 10Th
near the mouth Of the Lena river.
Later boat No. |, with Captain De
Long, DR.. Amber and twelve men,
reached the Lena in an exhausted
and pltlable condition. These open
boats traversed iull 500 miles of Arctic
ice and water, and the fact that their
crews were more than three months in
reaching the Lena is OF itself enough
to indicate the terrible hardships and
suffelings they encountered. The
other boat may yet be heard from.

The orchestra appeared promptly at

very black hair cut short, and black
mustache, stepped briskly to the
front. This Was Edward Strauss. He
looked young, but don't know his
age. He certainly gave himself up to
the work ofleading in a commendable
manner. He led not only with his
right arm and baton, but also with his
other arm, with his head, his feet, his
whole body. The whole of him
seemed to be in motion continually.
The first section was an overture. |

orchestra played it in excellent time
and spirit. Then followed compost
ton by one Of the Strausses; the rest
of the programme, in fact, gas almost
entirely Strauss The leader this time
appeared with violin in his hand. He
started his orchestra of, then swung
around toward the audience, swept the
violin to his shoulder and joined in
with the utmost grace, half dancing
and swaying his body to the beat ol
turn aud direct the players, then fall
in again himself This performance
of his, in addition to the perfection
with which his orchestra played
awakened no great enthusiasm. TIL,

Valuable Invention.
San Antonio Express.l

hdu hutoAiO GApfesbsl
Mr.. +. &. Grothaus, of Boerne, has
invented a postage stamp eraser and
canceler, which will undoubtedly
prove valuable to him. The whole
thing consists of circular tube with
a Seam attached to the eraser which
is worked by a blow, spring causing
the eraser to create an impression and
cancel the stamp. The government
some time ago offered $4,000 to any
one who would invent canceler which
would leave an impress and not mutt
late the stamp or letter, and Mr.. Grot-
hsus now thinks he has the patent
which will win the prize. Colonel
Upson, our representative in Congress,
when be left for Washington recently
took with him the best model, and
will urge the interests Of Mr.. Grot-
haus with the government, to the end
Of bringing the invention into general
use in the postofices. The present
method of canoeling stamps is not a
success, as many stamps can be taken
from letters and used again.
