A Submarine Treasure.

In 1850 the British man-of-war Hus-
sar was wrecked in He'll Gate, having
on board about $5000,000 in guineas.
In 1894 an expedition was sent out from
England, and for two seasons attempted
to raise the wreck, but was forbidden
to work longer by the United States
Government. In 1919 another attempt
was made by an English company with
diving-bell, but with no success.
Since then a number of companies have
organized only to meet with failure.
Within the past five years a new COM
pany has been at work, using the latest
submarine armor and appliances. A
sloop firmly anchored about loo yards
from the New York side of the East
river, three-quarters of a mile above
Wards Island, is the company's head
quarters, and marks the spot where the
Hussar sank, with her bows pointing to
the north The stock is divided into
$4,000 shares Of 800 each. Cannon.
cannon-balls, menacles, gun-fints, sill
yer plate and bones have been found.
One day brass box was brought to the
surface. 1t was full of Jewels, with a
necklace of brilliants. 1t was left for q
moment on the deck, and disappeared,
never to be seen again on board again.
A lump of silver, made of various coins
agglomerated by the action of the
water, has been found, together with
scattering gold coins. But the main
treasure remains yet to be found.

Strange History of a VIII.

One has heard of wills written on
bed-posts, concealed in hay-lofts and
flower-pots, and other possible and i'm
possible places, but probably no will
has ever passed through stranger vicis-
STUDIES than one admitted to probate by
Sir James Hammer. The testator was
an engineer on board channel steamer
and made his viii giving everything to
his wife, and gave the will to her Some
time afterward they had quarrel, dur
ing which she tore the will up and
threw the pieces into the fire. The
husband picked up the pieces and put
them into an envelope labeled poison, .
but said he would make n new one.
However, several years afterward he
died Of smallpox on his steamer, and, ON
his clothes being searched before burn
ing, the envelope with the pieces of the
will inside it was luckily found and
given to his wife. This brand plucked
from the burning has now been pieced
together and will be deposited at Som
erset House: lesson to all time to
wives not to lose their tempers too fan
if they do not wish also TO lose their
husbands property, or to save 1t only
by lawsuit.-PaH Mall Gazette.

A Base Conspiracy Defeated.

A close guess was made in Hartford
saloon. In one partition Of a money
drawer was large number of pennies.
Among the frequenters of the place was
a man who was always ready to make a
bet. 1t occurred to the proprietor of
the place, who had been taken in a good
many times by the betting man, to lay
for him. He took friend into his
confidence, and the pair made up their
minds to beat the fellow with the con-
tents of the money-drawer. So they
counted the pennies and found there
were just 625 of them. Then they laid
low for their opportunity.
That evening the betting man was on
hand, and in a manner not to excite
suspicion the saloon-keeper said to his
friend: Il wonder how many pennies
there are in this drawer?"
The betting chap pricked up his ears
and remarked: Let each of us put up
So, and the one who comes nearest to
the number shall take the pot"
This was agreed to, and the saloon
keeper marked 624, his friend 625, and
the fellow who was really ignorant of
the number, and whom they expected
to trap, by the merest chance put his
figures at G25. The establishment of
the two sharpers was no greater than
the wonder of the other at srch remark
ably sharp guessing After this the
betting man was boss of the saloon.-

His HOnOr's Special Information.

Forty years ago Eatonton was fast
town. Gambling of all kinds, cock
fighting and horse racing was the rule,
as it is the exception now. At one term
of the court, 1916 or 1916, the Grand
Jury returned one true bill against
forty persons, John w. Ashurst, Solicit
tor General, and number of prominent
lawyers included, in one batch for gam
ing. 1t was in this case that it is said
Judge Cone made himself famous.
When the case was reached, all of the
defendants arose and pleaded guilty.
Judge Cone fined each of them so and
cost, and lectured them severely upon
the uselessness and immortality Of such
habits, and the viciousness of the ex-
ample which they were setting for the
youth of the country; then commanding
the defendants to take their seats, with
a solemn face, but merry twinkle in
his eye, he turned to the Clerk and said !:
Now Mr.. Clerk, enter after these
cases State of Georgia VS.. Judge Cone,
gaming; special information by his
Honor; plea of guilty, and fine him
800 and cost; call the next case, sir. 4"

Bows Natural Skill.

The majority of boys are born with
capacity for construction. They take
to the use of tools naturally. If they
can once get an idea into their heads as
to how a thing is done, they Immediately
set about doing it. 1t affords them not
only vast deal of amusement, but
they perfect themselves in the use Of
tools. We have seen boy put together
kite in half an hour which an unin-
structed man could not do in half
day. Another would make miniature
boat and rig it SO that it would sail per-
fectly. Every rope was in place; the
model was good-it was, in short,
clever piece of work. The boy is father
of the man. Later in life he could con-
struct skiff, boat or a small yacht.
The education of the hands goes on in
this way, and the boy gets vast deal
6.fun and amusement, which in the pro-
cess of educating the brain goes on.
He finally becomes a two-handed man
that is, one who in case
of necessity could construct a
comfortable cabin for himself,
could erect barn, could make q
number of farm tools, and would al
ways have indoor jobs for rainy days on
the farm.-Sda Francisco Bulletin.

One Man Distributes 90, 900 Bibles.

Nathan Goff, Esq, of Clarksburg,
". Va, an uncle of the Hon. Nathan
Goff, Congressman-elect from that
State, has for sixty years, notwith-
standing his numerous and engrossing
business engagements, been volunteer
distributor of the Scriptures. He thus
concludes letter to the American BIZ
bic Society:
During the war I continued the dis
tribution throughout Harrison county,
and also gave great many Bibles and
Testaments to soldiers in the Union
army. From my earliest connection
with the cause, whenever | have sent to
the Parent Society | have met with
prompt and generous answers to my re-
quests. After the war began to sup
ply the freedmen. At one time the
society sent me donation of seventy
five Bibles for that purpose. 1t is
understood all through this country
that | '5eep on hand all kinds of Bibles
and Testaments for sale and for gra-
tuitous distribution to the poor, so there
is hardly day passes that do not dis
tribute from one to twenty As near as
] can calculate, | have distributed be-
tween q. 900 and "a, 900 volumes.

Barbara, in very pride. forced her
self to join in their pleasant, desultory
talk; but when at last she reached the
/ blessed quiet of her own little chamber
at home, she gave vent to her outraged
feelings in passionate tit of weeping.
Under her indignation at Bettelle's
dastardly treatment of her, was q
deeper grief and pain. She knew now
that Douglas Allston, who appeared to
be devotedlY attached to his cousin
Dora, was the only man in the world
for whom she cared.
With the knowledge came the deter
mination to crush that feeling out ii she
died for it; and like a precious, roman
tic, nineteen-year-old goose as she was,
she took a queer way to put her deter
mination into practice.
Barbara bad quite genius for draw
ing protiles, and Oh the morning follow
ing the excursion she drew very COR
rect likeness of Allstou, and under it
scrubbed these lines:
4 was not worthy Of yoa. Douglas
Not half worthy The like Of you
Now all men besides are 70 ms bnt shadows,
Douglas, Douglas tender and true
Then she cried over it little, and
finally slipped the paper between the
leaves of book which lay upon the
window-Iedge
Some time in the forenoon, as Ais
ION worked and whistled outside. q
rollicking gust of wind whisked that
book open, and obligingly waited that
identical paper out of the open window
and deposited it at the young man 5
feet
Barbara, who was sitting upon the
doorstep, Smelling peas for dinner, saw
il and sprang to the rescue; but Allston,
imprisoning both her outstretched hands
in one Of his, stopped and picked it
up.
Give that to me this moment,
Douglas Allstonw demanded Barbara,
desperately, her checks burning like
fire.
But he was already examining the
sketch with great GOODNESS, although a
curious little flash came into his dark
eyes as be read Mrs Craik's pathetic
lines in Barbara chirography.
Barbara, did you draw this?" he
queried, smiling at her suddenly.
NO, did not AT least the lines
had no connection whatever with the
sketch. she stammered, incoLerently.
Probably not, returned Allston,
with great amusement in voice and
eyes However. either one by you
would encourage me to ask you the
question which has long been IN my
heart. VIII you marry me, Barbara?'
lie was actually laughing now, and
poor Barbara exclaimed, desperately;
No, sir! hate your
II do not believe it, Barbara Don't
be cruel to your Lord Douglasn
The mock pathos in his voice nearly
upset Barbara's gravity, but she sue
ceeded in maintaining very naughty
countenance, much to the amusement
of her lover. who took particular pains
10 kiss her just as Mrs. Tyrrell appeared
in the doorway.
barbara has promised to marry
me- he said, with the most refreshing
"Auntie, | never
Eat least if she hasn't, she will" he
added, utterly ignoring Barbara's pro-
test.
1t is to be presumed that she did, for
they were quietly married in the fall,
to Mrs. Tyrrel's great satisfaction. n

Demoralizing Effects of corns.

There Is more misery concentrated

makes no noise. 1t lets its victim
make all the noise for it. 1t de
stroys capacity for study and all con-
tinuty OF thought. Corns, when in
dulged in by poets, have spoiled poems
which might have thrilled the world.
No minister with lively corn can
preach perfect love" A corn seems
to do business at either end That is,
the end that is inserted twinges while
the outer end aches. A corn converts
q Hercules or an Apollo into an awk-
ward, lingering, hating cripple. 1t
causes him to halt tearfullv on street
curbs ere he attempts crossing, when
before he plunged fearlessly into the
maze Of vehicles and was quickly over.
IL IS continually sending through him
mental twinges of anxiety lest some one
step upon it. 1t turns d mans whole
thought from the contemplation of the
beauties of nature and the grandeur
OF the universe to the re-
memberance Of its abominable
self. 1t changes the beatific
expression Of his countenance to one OF
querulonsness and anxiety. Yet there
is no more sympathy for corn. or
rather for the person attacked by the
corn, than there is for the toothache or
seasickness. That is because it is sup
posed the corn kills nobody. Yet. if it
did kllI, the greater would be the
mercy. A corn cannot agonize dead
man or woman. Dead peoples corns
do not ache So long as one is alive
and able to suffer, so long no one much
cares. When we are dead and out Of
pain and the wicked corn ceaseth from
troubling and the weary toe is at rest,
why our friends set up their boohoo
and spend for flowers to put on our
coffin the money that so much when
alive we needed for oyster fries.
A corn is, really wicked demon In
carnated in bit of eallous skin. Its
mission is to distress and agonize
humanity and to increase wiekedness.
Corns are really lost souls and evil
spirits allowed thus to return, and in
this guise to afliict u.s. You look upon
a corn and regard it as bit of half
dead skin. But within there lives a
wicked, glowing, incandescent spirit.
with no other impulse but to affiict, and
with poisoned fangs. hot pinchers and
red-hot knitting needles to do SO.

How Some Men Started.

The Governor of Kansas told the
young men of Chicago that twenty-five
years ago he drove oxen, and drove
them well An exchange says the
present Governor Of Texas started in
life as hostler at IS per month, and
did his work well. The financial mag
nate, Rufus Hatch, began life as chain
carrier in surveying Wisconsin rail-
road, and afterwhrd was locomotive
engineer. There are multitudes of idle
young men because they cannot find
honorable work. They would do
well to remember that all honest labor
is honorable, and That idleness is vice.

TEMPERANCE CAUCUS.


The weather Saturday evening was verv
disagreeable. The dank March wind surged
and whistled through the streets Sign
boards swung with an ominous creak and
the air was flied with binding snow. But
regardless of the storm a goodly handful
oftemperance voters gathered in Temperance
Hall to consider the propriety of making
nominations for city officers

and to see if it was best to put temperance
candidates into the field. The rea, point is

The letter carriers would then be taken away
from the republicans in this city and they
would have a hard rub to hold control of the
city government.

nomination for mayor be ratified
Mr.. Hodges said he would not agree to it.
