Finding a Fortune.
fpbIladelpbia Record i


On Saturday. while workmen were
making repairs in a wall near an old out
house in the yard of the Commercial
Hotel ON Market street, Gustavus Rick.
erberg, . lad Of fourteen, and two com
panions, instituted hunt for lost base.
balls, which had been knocked over the
wall. They failed to discover any balls,
but young Rickersl,erg kicked up small
fortune OF $50, 600 with the toe of his
boot. This treasure was found in a
small package wrapped in an old
copy of the New York Herald. When
the paper was broken off there was dis
closed heavy leather wallet, stuffed to
bursting with bonds and mortgages,
deeds, checks and notes, amounting in
the aggregate to over $50. 600. None OF
this wealth however, was negotiable, and
there was considerable difficulty In trac-
ing its ownership. 1t was finally dis
covered, through the Fidelity Trust
and Safety Deposit Company, that the
contents Of the wallet were the prop
erty Of John Stockwell. and had been
stolen from the office of Charles Che
yenne, of No Is South Seventh street,
and when taken by the thief contained,
in addition tn the bonds, deeds, etc.,
$40 in cash. At the time of its loss
a reward of $50 was offered for the re-
turn of the papers, and when Young
Rickersberg handed the wallet over to
the lawyer the long standing reward was
paid to him, which, as he remarke 1, was
"better than finding baseballs. 1t is sup
posed that the thief who stole the pock-
ei-book took ont the money, and finding
that he could not realize upon the securi-
ties threw the latter away. The fact,
however, that the Herald in which the
wallet was wrapped was dated January
IL, 1888, is somewhat of mystery, as
the theft occurred fully five years ago.
1t is, of course, possible that the thief
may have retained the bonds even for
five years.

A Mexican Fibre.

Ixtli is Mexican fire, which in Mex
leo takes the place of hemp, and fer man
ufacturing purposes is said to he fully
equal. Cordage of every description i,
manufactured from ii; it is used exten
sively in the production Of coarse bag
giug and is woven into hammocks and
coarse cloths. Carpetmakers are the
only class Of manufacturers who have
discovered its utility. Hennequen and
ixtli are essentially similar fibres, and Of
the former there are large expectations
annually to London and New York.
When the true value of ixtli and its
cheapness become fully understood the
use Of this fibre will become enormously
increased. The value or hennequen as
body material for carpets is being more
and recognized with its use, and ixtli
will soon doubtless share the popularity
Of its sister fibre.

yesterday difficulty occurred between
two employees, named Lafayette Broader

a horrible murder. Thomas head aud
back are literally roasted. His injuries

CREDITABLB REsoLUTIoNs.-The Savan-
ma Meas calls special attention TO the action
OF III intelligent and representative body oil
eolored men that met in that city during
the past week. 1t was the executive com.
mittee of the Farmers Store Association
of South Carolina, the Farmers Industrial
Free VIII Company Of Knights of Labor,
Gall colsred,) ofGeorgia. 1t was composed
OF honest, industrious colored men, engag-
ed in building up their individual and ma
terial interests, and advancing the NOR
and social condition of their race. After
attending to the financial affairs of the united
committee, which were found in healthy
and satisfactory condition, and re-elect-
ing their purchasing agent, they compli-
mented their people for their promptness
in paying their debts and had letters read
from several prominent citizens. Then the
resolutions were adopted:
p "Whereas the best Of good feeling for
the past five years has prevailed between
the whites and blacks: and whereas the
prompt action Of the white citizens to re-
heve our people who suffered in the late fire
in this city is a bright evidence of their
friendship, he it therefore
iesofred, That we return our thanks to
them for their kind sympathy for our PEG
Pile.
Resotcsd, That we do recommend to our
people, for the best interests Of our race
not to be tied to any political party, and
that they vote as they please"

WHAT A CHICAGO PAPER SAYs.-The
Chicago Times says: Ten or fifteen years
ago negro was here and there elected by a
northern constituency to some petty Office
No one hears of such an occurrence now
AS factor in the political life of this part
of the country the negro has been dropped.
At the bottom of this is the unavoidable
recognition of that gulf between two races
which are incapable of being assimilated or
of standing together on the same social
plane. The ''color line'' is a social river of
blood between two distinct races which can
not be obliterated. From social life it
passes inevitably into political life, and
there, also, there is no potency of human
laws that can erase it. Government power
can make the negro and the white man
equal before the law" but it cannot open
to the negro the white mans drawing room,
the white mans favor, nor the white mans
political trust. Malone and all other par
ty demagogues may preach obliteration of
the color line in politics, but the utmost ex-
tent of the obliteration they can achieve will
be matter of form, not matter of reality
The naturally antagonistic ingredients may
be mechanically mixed, as they have been
by Malone and his lieutenants in Virginia,
but they cannot be chemically combined
The color line will still run between the
particles, and the mixture, wherever the
proportions are favorable, will be highly
explosive.

BEDS THAT VICTORIA SLEEPS x.-[Lon-

temporary SIT may not be generally known
that the Queen invariably takes her own
bed with her wherever she may be travel
ling" People would infer from this state
ment that her Majesty's Town bed forms
a part of the royal baggage. The Queen
aiways sleeps in beds of precisely the same
pattern and made up in exactly the same
way. They are all manufactured at Wind
sor Castle, and there is one with Access
series at each royal residence in this copn-
try, at the Villa HoheDlohe at Baden, at
Rosenau near Coburg. and on board the
Victoria and Albert. When the Queen pays
a visit, or goes abroad, bed on the usual
pattern is made and dispatched from Wind
sor in advance, to be in readiness for her.
One was sent last year to Aentone, and
three years earlier another went to Bavenn
At Dunrobin, Floors, and other country
houses at which the Queen has been guest,
her special bed has usually been left as a
memento of the royal visit

THE COMET VISIBLE TO THE NAKED
EYE.-Phelps, N. T., Dec. 21.-Professor
Brooks, of the Red House Observatory, says
the comet discovered by him last Septem-
her, the comet of 1919, is now visible to
the naked eye, as small round nebulous
mass in the constellation Cygnus. In small
telescopes tail can be traced one degree
and a-half in length. In large telescopes
the comet presents fine appearance, with
star-like nucleus and large coma. The
motion is southeast, and ON Christmas the
southern arm of the cross in Cygnus, or
near the star Epsilon. On New Years day
it will be near the right forefoot of pegas-
us. The comet will grow brighter till the
latter part of January, its perihelion pas
sage being on January 25th, when it will be
in the tail of Cetus or The Whale, aid dis
tant from the sun 10, ZOO, COO miles. 1t will
be nearest the earth about the middle of
January, about so, 100000 miles. After
January it will recede from the sun and
pursue its long journey through space, re-
turning to view in II years.

How UNFORTUNATE is it for General Ma
hone that Minneapolis is not in Virginia !
If it were. what a rattling ''address'' he
and his George" could get up with which
t. fire the Northern heart'' against his
own State ! The people of that city have
mobbed and driven off with violence and
threats of lynching a few colored people
who had the ''impudence to go upon a
public ice pond. They were not provoked
by negro policemen, nor by having their
wives and daughters insulted by negroes,
nor by a threatening and superior force of
armed negroes who dared them to shoot
and said 1.-THE conflict might as we'll come
then as at any other time " But the mere
fact that few of the negroes living in their
city presumed to come among them on a
public skating pond excited all their race
animosity, which, on the instant, manifest
ed itself by acts of violence. Negroes and
white people mix on all the skating ponds
in the South without objection ON the part
of the latter, and both races would get along
better, in all relations, in the South than
in the North were it not for scalawag dem
agogues, like Malone, who profit by incit-
ing the Southern negroes to hate the peo-
pie among whom they live and upon whom
they depend for their living. -Aler. Gazette.

THE CoLoREp PEoPLR.-We think that
every rejecting man will concur in the
opinion that the negroes have their future
in their own hands in a great measure, and
will only command that respect which they
may deserve by their own efforts. No par
ty can make them rich, educated, promi
nent or wise, and while politicians for the
sake of their support may promise to do SO
they cannot fulfil their promises. They
have depended too much on others for help,
and do too little for themselves. When
they show that they are really worthy of
the name of freemen, and can act and vote
without bride or dictation, they will find
that they have deserved confidence, and will
be sure to receive it. Let the negroes go
to work and elevate themselyes--Norfoik

To the Editors Of the Dispatch:
know not how many Virginians may be
far away from their Old Mother, and what
their feelings were in regard to the issue of
the late election; but as one among them
who has watched with deepest anxiety the
desperate struggle through which the sons
OF the old State have lately passed cannot
refrain from sending you, and through you
my fellow-countrymen, heartiest greeting
for their splendid utterances on the 9Th day
of this November. My heart warns with
the thought-my blood is all aglow-that
the land that gave me birth is once more
redeemed; that the storm, long gathering,
has burst at last, and in its fury swept the
last vestige of bossism away and buried it
deep, deep, deep in that political grave from
which the stone shall never be rolled away.
Now, indeed, is the winter of our discon-
tent become glorious summer" A reclaim

one brought safely out of the "valley of the
shadow" into which she had been dragged
by one of her own GOOD save the mark y
sons, and the other drawing black mark
OF forgetfulness through all past differences,
joined hand to hand and shoulder to should
er to rescue the fair land of their Inherit
ance out of the evil times on which she had
fallen ! May full tide of prosperity enter
from every side, the white wings of peace
hover over hill and dale, and the joyous
sunshine of happiness Tighten every heart
that beats within the compass of the Old
Dominion ! J.H,P.

4 WIDOW FINDING TWO HUNDRED AND
THIRTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS WHICH
HER HUSBAND HAD HIDDEN BEFORE HIS
DEATH.


A special to the Boston Globe from Ak
ron, Ohio, says: Clarion Ramon lived
for many years in Hinckley, Medina coun-
ty, Ohio, and amassed considerable proper
not trust his money to the keeping of
bank, but hid it about his own premises,
keeping the hiding-place secret even from
his own family. A short time ago he told
his wife that he had hidden about $50, 900
in money and that pretty soon he would in
form her of it's whereabouts, so that in case
of his death she would know where to look
for it. He neglected to do this, and about
a week ago he died Of apoplexy. After his
death an examination of his papers showed
that he had 1886, 900 in money all hidden
about his premises. The most thorough
search failed to reveal the hiding place, and
the widow began to despair. Then she was
impressed with the notion that if she prayed
with faith the Lord would direct her to the
place where the money was hidden. On
Wednesday she prayed all day and all night.
On Thursday morning she was impelled to
go to the beehives, which stood on a bench
near the house, and in the excitement of
expectation she knocked over one of the
hives, disclosing to her view the top of a
bench with pile of greenbacks of large
denominations uponit. A search under the
other hives resulted in finding a total of
$15, 600. In the afternoon one of the fami-
~ dropped a bunch of keys through the
barn floor, which necessitated taking up
plank to find them, and when the young
man put his hand down he struck half
gallon fruit jar, which he pulled out to find
partly filled with $50 gold pieces. Other
jars and grain bag were also found con-
tanning gold and silver, and when it had all
been counted the total amount figured up
over $213, ZOO. The widow was overjoyed,
and in her statement to the correspondent
said she believed that the discoveries were
in direct answer to her prayers"

quoting in this way, with the expectation
of deceiving anybody. His boss tried it for
two years, He kept out of the Republican

emit, and voted just as Riddle has done, uni
formly with the Republicans. Riddle could
not identify himself more strongly with the
Republicans than he has done in voting to
displace all the Democratic officers of that

nominees of the Republican Senate. 1t is

SOME of our southern contemporaries,
who favored the election of RANDALL to
the speakership, as the INDEx-APPEAL did,
refuse to be comforted by ample assurances
that Mr.. CARLISLE and his friends will
commit none of the errors which, in the
9. emit of his election, were expected to bring
disaster upon business interests and revive
ruinously the old sectional feeling.
We are sure there is no good reason now
for the fears that were so reasonable few
weeks ago. There will be no unnecessary
or unreasonable changes in the tariff. There
will be no furnishing of the s'star and bars''
in house presided over by Mr.. CARLISLE.
Over-anxious tariff reformers will be kept
in the rear, and those who, in moments of
weakness. are apt to think they are in a
confederate instead of national congress,
will have discipline. We have every assur-
ance that speaker CARLISLE has definite,
patriotic and practical ideas, and that those
three adjectives describe exactly the course
he will take in all the AFFAIRS with which he
is to be officially connected. Petersburg
