Something of the Captain Kidd Siam,
from California.
A few weeks ago we made ncte Of ,
strange story coming TO us from the Coast
range relative to an old padre, who had
suddenly made his appearance after
being dead for forty odd years. The
naturalaccepted impossibility of the story
led reporter to make an investigation
oft, with results that probably give the
true inwardness of the matter.
When Joaquin and his band were
committing their deprcdations through
the State they accumulated, IS result of
their outlawry, large sum of money.
amounting to more than 100000, and
that, too, after having made a liberal
division Of their funds. This large
sum had been secreted in lots of few
thousand dollars as they returned from
different raids through the mines by the
consent of the band, at some secluded
spot in the Coast mountains known only
to the leader of the party and Three.
Fingered Jack, and they were sworn to
keep its location secret until the band
bad accumulated fund sufficient to
divide and give each member Of it
$4,000.
But before they had succeeded in rails
ing this stake the band was overtaken
by Captain Love and his party and both
joaquin and Three-Fingered Jack were
killed. 1t seems, however, to have oc-
CURED to the villain known as Three
Fingered Jack that death was likely TO
occur at any time TO the whole party,
and he prepared a statement and map
showing amounts and location of the
buried treasure. This note was left with
a pious old priest, with instructions that
it was to be delivered after a lapse of
years to certain of Three Fingered Jacks
relatives in Mexico. The priest was given
a sum of money to go to that country and
search out those relatives. At least this
is the tenor of the story.
The lonely occupant of the secluded
valley is supposed to be one of the rela-
tives of the veteran cut-throat, who hav-
ing become possessed of the map of the
region where the bandits treasures were
buried, is now in search of them. Mrs.
joaquin Murietta inclines to the opinion,
however, that the burial place of the
bandits treasures was known only to
joaquin, and that he took the secret with
him to the grave. For twenty years she
has sought for it, but without success.

NELLIE HUBBARD.
The Bright Flower of Distinguished
Family Led Astray, and the Unhappy


Cincinnati Enquirer.
The maxim, "Marriod in haste and re-
pent at leisure" has always been demon
strated, and is the sequel to romantic
marriage of four years ago, that was
the saddest blow ever dealt the honored
iurst of Connecticut, Richard ID. Hub
bard, at that time Governor of the state.
The union of his favorite and brightest
daughter, Miss Nellie, aged Is, a general
lavorite in society, to Frederick Shepherd,
the untutored man who had graduated
from public hackdriver to the position
of coachman to the Hubbard family, was
a seven days wonder and topic of re-
mark throughout the country.
The story of the marriage is briefly re-
counted Miss Nellie's sympathy for the
cocahman's illiteracy was the prime cause
of her becoming infatuated. She began
by loaning him books, and used occas-
ionally to assist him in his studies. The
acquaintance gradually ripened, and in a
few weeks she found herself desperately
in love with the plebian hostler, and
clandestine meetings and carriage rides
soon followed.
Finally, taking advantage of the tenn
porary absence of Mr. and Mrs. Hubbard,
the two went to Westfield, Mass, and
were privately married. For two weeks
the family were in total ignorance of the
matter, never suspecting even that the
acquaintance of the flower of the family
and the coachman was anything but
what il was on the surface.
The announcement was a shock TO the
community, and at first the narrowing
tale was disbelieved. The daughter was
disowned by the broken-spirited father,
and, after living in quiet part of Hart
ford for two years, the husband working
in shoe-store they moved to New
Haven, where he purchased a small
livery business, which he still conducts.
As time wore away the wife began to
realize the mental inequality between
herself and husband, and it is said she
made friends with two or three men of
the world. At any rate, there was
quiet separation, and a few months since
the husband went to one hotel, while the
wife and their only child went to another.
A few weeks ago Mr., Shepherd sought a
divorce on the ground of desertion and
it has been granted.
Nellie's name is never mentioned in
the home she once graced and she is as if
dead to her father.

AN OLD STORY.

Fisherman John is brave and strong,
None more brave on the coast than he;
He owns cottage and fishing smack
As snug a. ever need be.
And, what is truer than | could wish,
Fisherman John loves me.
Often and often, when day is done,
With smiling lips and eager eyes,
He comes 70 WOO me in every way
That n man may try, he tries
To win me but that he can never do,
Though he wco me till he dies.
Fisherman Jack is poorer man;
He owns no cottage nor fishing smack,
But a winning voice and smile are his,
And manly grace. Alack
II will not break my heart to tell
That love Fisherman Jack.
He loves not me but every night,
lie sits at the feet of Kate Mshon,
Never heart has she for him
For She loves Fisherman John,
Who cares no more for love OF hers
Than the Sc he sails upon.
Oflen we wonder, do Kate and /,
That fate should cross US 20 cruelty;
We think Ofthe lovers we do not love,
And dream of wha, life would be,
Ifonly Fisherman John loved her,
And Fisherman Jack loved me.

AN EYE THAT SEES ZEN MILES.
forpia Miners sweep a Wide Horizon.
Marysvile Appeal.

A Smartville correspondent says; Ii
has been mystery for some time past
by what modus operandi the employees
of the Blue Point Hydraulic Company
could so accurately tell the approach of
any one or any suspicious object from
one to three hours before its appearance
in or near their camp.
On visit to this celebrated mine the
writer was shown the instrument. To
give the information how it is done or to
scientifically explain how the desired
results are brought about, is more than |
will undertake. But this | do know,
that by the several appliances an en-
ploye can sec objects with it for nearly
ten miles in any direction from where
the instrument is located. This instrti-
ment does not act in all parts of the
country. 1t seems that it must be placed
at a certain elevation above the level of
the sea before it will accurately affect
the object wished to be seen. 1t has
been tried at 1000 feet above the sea
level and it affects the objects very in
distinctly, also at any point less than COO
feet above the sea level it will not work
accurately; but between 800 and loo
feet in elevation objects can be distinctly
seen as natural as life. 1t works here
from early twilight till nearly dark, and
between that time no objects larger than
a rabbit will escape observation for ten
miles in any direction.
The sky by its operation acts the part
of "a huge mirror, and by looking through
the queer instrument-which is con-
structed like telescope and mariners
quadrant combined-you, through the
angles of the different lenses in the in
strument and in the direction you wish
to review, can see objects of their natural
size, from where you stand eight or ten
miles away as true as if they stood by
your side.
Whether there are any chemical COM
binations in the stuff that to me re-
sembles tar or not | could not find out,
as that part contains the secret of the
discovery, but it has the smell and APP
pearance of common tar The vessel
that contains it is about thirty-four
inches in diameter and about six inches
in depth. The instrument is taken in
your hand and with quadrant you find
the angle you wish to prospect or search,
bringing the lens of the instrument to
bear on the vessel containing the prepa-
ton of tar. You then have one of the
most exciting moments of your life.
The discovery was made by French
man here, who has spent many years to
perfect it and who has always been con-
sidered crank.
