Buried Treasure.

From the Cape Girardeau News.l
William Beaudean, who lives at the
edge of town, was victimjzed to the ex-
tent of 5000 few weeks ago, though
the matter did not get out until last
Saturday.
From what we can learn, it appears
that a man and woman whose names
are unknown came to town three or
four weeks ago and cured him of an
attack of rheumatism. The woman
told him that there was between S. 900
and $4,000 buried on his farm, and
that if he would raise $1,000 In cash
and carry it in an envelope in his pock-
ct for twenty-one days the location of
the buried treasure would be revealed
to him in some mysterious manner.
He only had about 81, 900 on hand, and
to get the other $4,000 he mortgaged
his farm. When he had raised the
money the woman visited the place
and counted the money, making mys-
terious signs understood only by her
self; the money was then returned to
Mr.. Beaudean, who put it in his pock-
ct, and the woman left. Again the
woman came, and went through the
same performance. and departed. The
third time the performance was slight
ly varied. The woman returned an
envelope similar to the one in which
the money was carried. and told Mr..
B.(who supposed thatit was HISS ,O0O)
to keep it in his pocket for twenty-one
days, then open it and the spot where
the treasure was buried OIL his farm
would he revealed to him. The WON.
an then left.
For number of days the envelope
was carried around, Mr.. Beaudean no
doubt feeling good over the prospect of
having his earthly possessions materi-
ally increased in the near future. Fl.
nally he tore open one corner of the
envelope and peep*d in, and, seeing
nothing green inside, tore open the end
and pulled out-a wad of paper!
No doubt there was tableau about
that time.
The s. 900 had disappeared, the wom-
an had week or two start, and no per-
son in town save himself knew OF his
loss. 1t soon got out, however, and
now erybody wonders why he al
lowed himself to be so completely TAX
en- i'm and done for.
1t seems strange that any body should
allow himself to be swindled out of so
large sum of money when the news
papers are continually warning people
against frauds and confidence games;
hut the woman has the money and Mr..
Beaudean has what is very valuable

The Corn Crop.

From the New York Graphic.l
How the cora does love to ache just
after the shoe is removed. It seems
then to take a fresh start and to rejoice
in a renewal of it's youth and strength.
What is II revolution in France or a
general war in Europe to man with
an active corn?
No man can be truly pious or devo-
tional with an energetic corn No
woman. In point of pain it spares
neither age nor SEX
There is more misery concentrated
in corn than in anything of its kind
extant. 1t reminds the man of its
presence from the rising of the sun to
the going down thereof. 1t involves
more positive agony than a dozen quiet
deaths. 1t makes no noise. 1t lets its
victim make all the noise for it. 1t
destroys capacity for study and all
continuity of thought. Corns when
indulged 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 twing-
es while the outer end aches. A corn
converts Hercules or an Apollo into
an awkward, lingering, hating Grip
pie. 1t causes. him to halt fearfully

ing, when before he plunged fearlessly
into the maze of vehicles and was
quickly over. It is continually send
ing through him mental twinges of
| anxiety lest some one step upon it. 1t
| turns mans whole thought from the
contemplation of the beauties of ma
ture and the grandeur of the universe
to the remembrance of it's abominable
self. 1t changes the beatific express
sion of his countenance to one of quer-
uiousness and anxiety. Yet there is
no more sympathy for a corn, or rath-
er for the person attacked by the corn,
than there is for the toothache or sea-
sickness. That is because it is sup
posed the corn kills nobody. Yet if it
did kill the greater would be the mer-
cy. 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 cares.
When we are dead and out of pain and
the wicked corn ceaseth to from troub-
ling and the weary toe is at rest, why
then 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 callous skin. Its
mission is to distress and agonize hu-
manity and to increase wickedness.
Corns are really lost souls and evil
spirits allowed thus to return, and in
this guise to afflict us. You look upon
a corn and regard it as bit of half
dead skin. But within their lives a
wicked, glowing, incandescent spirit,
with no other impulse but to atflict,
and with poisoned fangs, hot pinchers
and red hot knitting needles to do SO.

/ Don't Know.

1t is a very simple phrase,
And yet, as people go,
How very rare is he who says
Quite frankly, 81 don't know"
When asked about certain thing
Occurring long ago,
Or of some recent happening,
Who says, 81 do not knows"
None cares on aught, or small or great,
His ignorance to show;
We hem and haw and lie, but hate
To say, 81 do not know"
The world to him yield ready praise
Who meets the embattled foe;
But braver spirit he betrays
Who says, II do not Know"
Then praised be he who, when he can
Not answer, is not slow
To own up like little man,
And say, ~ do not know"

COngresslnen's Palaces.

washington Dispatch to New York Sun.l
Politicians who build palaces at
Washington, after going to Congress
poor originally, are very apt to come
to grief in the end. Mr.. Window is
an illustration in point. His ambition
to display wealth, acquired without
dny ostensible business and while
serving as member of the Senate or
of the House of Representatives, con-
tributed largely toward his recent de-
feat. Plain people who knew all about
his career and his affairs at home,
could not understand where the money
came from that enabled him to live in
pomp; and they were not satisfied with
his lame explanations.
Mr.. Blaine has outstripped all his
rivals in palace building. He boasts
of ha wing the grandest mansion at the
capital, overtopping that of Mr.. Cor
coran, a millionaire Of years standing.
and almost alone in its glory, in the
new west end created by the Washing
ton Ring. The ex-Secretary is said to
have become suddenly rich. He is
known to nave many irons in the fire,
and they must all be kept hot for I'M
mediate use.
The paper on which these schemes
and ventures may be written or print
ed has doubtless very large figures on
on it. But suppose bad turn in the
market, and no demand for this paper,
what then? The palace might turn out
to be an elephant on Mr.. Blaine's
hands, like that of his rival, Mr.. Win
dom, over whose rejection he has been
rejoicing.
Mr.. Sherman has been the most
thrifty and adroit of this class of patr-
OTIS. He was in no haste to parade the
wealth accumulated on salaries of So, coo
and 5000 yeur as a member of Con-
gress. He waited patiently and cum
ningly for a time when the sources of
this large fortune might be possibly for
gotten. Bat he had no sooner splurged
than the story of these illgotten gains
was told.
Secor Robson built palace among
those of the Congressional nabobs, and
he, too, has been spurned by an honest
constituency. There was no secret
about the way in which he acquired
riches The attempt to increase his
store, by the defiance of public opin-
ion, carried him down, and the party
he ditly led IN the House justly shared
in his deserved his disgrace.
Mr. Pendleton's Queen Ann struc-
ture stands in the midst of these gay
Surroundings, with snobbish tone
outside and inside He is said to have
four residences, at Cincinnati, WASH /
ingten, Newport and Conway. He af
fects much style, and is lavish in ex-
penditure.

WATERING HORSES.

There are as many views expressed
as there are writers as TO when, how
often, and how much water is to be
allowed horse daily. Some think
once day is enough, some twice,
some thrice, and some that water
should always he in reach of Il horse
when in the stable. People accustom-
ed TO use, feed and water horses find
out how 10 treat them, and in this
treatment how often they should be
watered daily. Those who only drive
horses, and know nothing. more about
them, may neglect them through ig-
norancc or inattention, but must I'M
dcrstand that they should be watercd
three times day at regular intervals,
with cool water in summer, if il can
be had, and mild water i'm winter
Pump or spring water meets these
conditions. If driven they should not
be watcred until cooled off, and then
they should be allowed as much rs
they can drink, and not driven again
Immediately after. In the stable these
things settle themselves. The COM
mon practice is to water before feed
ing. Horses watered three times q
day-morning, noon and night-will
be in far better condition for work of
any kind than if watered half dozen
times, as some people driving allow
their horses TO be. They will sweat
less and be more lively, and we believe
will be in better health. Once day,
or twice a day even, is not sufficient,
though horses can get along with il as
can cattle, but il is not advisable or
humane. In fields where there are full
water troughs cattle will be found TO

BOARS' TUSKS.

A correspondent of the breeders
Gazette says: "My experience of forty
years as hog-breeder has taught me
that the tusks of pet male hog are
dangerous weapons and that they
should be taken of. Bears at times
are very vicious, afraid of nothing,
and will fusk horses, cattle, or any
other stock, not excepting his keeper.
or any other man, woman or child.
To take them of is an easy and safe
operation, after you have caught and
downed the animal. Use bar of iron
onc-half inch thick, two and one-half
inches wide and two feet long, farm
ers generally have an old plow coul-
teri and a hammer. Insert the iron
bar in the hogs mouth back of and
under the tusk, one end resting on the
floor Of the pen, the other end held by
TN assistant, the tusk resting on the
bar; take the hammer and break il
off; turn the animal over and treat the
other one in the same way. With the
loss Of his tusks the animal seems 10
lose the courage 10 attack"
Another correspondent says that
they can be taken off with nippers
such as blacksmiths use in cutting the
points of nails in shooting horses.
Take Il rope and fix a moose around
the upper jaw Of the hog, and tie it to
n strong fence post so rs 10 hold his
head up; then take your nippers and
place them on the tusk close TO the
jaw and you can cut them of smooth
they will fly like glass, and there is no
danger of injuring the animal.

LUNGS AND HEALTH.

Journal. As rule, the smaller the
chest and lungs, in proportion TO the
body, the more liable is the horse TO
become exhausted when driven sharp
ly, as shown by the quick-hcaving
sides, the rapid action of the heart,
and the general evidences of distress.
1t is in this way that lungs deficient in
size and vigor take on diseaserSo read

When horse lacking in constitution
