A number of negroes were in the

The issue on the temperance amendment to
the constitution has been very properly and
very rigidly separated from the political con-

How the Present Speaker Showed That
He Was His Own Master.

Much might be written of Carlisle. Only
48 years old, he is self-made man in a
double sense, for he has remade himself
within the last twelve years. At that time
1t seemed as if his life had been lived out
and that the coils of drink would never be
loosened from about him until he rested
with Menifee and Marshall and the host
of other bright Kentuckians who have
graves in the island where the Circe lives.
Frankfort is about as demorallzpg to
young fellows as the Sonora Mountains to
The Ariz >na Indian, and he bad already
served two terms In the Legislature, and
was then. at SO, Lieutenant Governor.
There were few who did not think that
this would be the end of him. There was
no Cassandra to hear the whisperings of
the gods about him.
1t was poor John Carlisle"
Suddenly he shattered his cups and
placed seal upon desire and became, as
ever since he has remained, a devout
churchman and an examplar of the strict
est temperance. There was surprise in
the town when more and more it came to
be seen that the change was not the freak
of headache, but gravely made and
meant to last lifetime. But 80 it was,

He MADE DULUTH.-Mr. BENJAMIN
Groom, the great cattle-raiser, called at
the State house Tuesday to pay his respects
to the Governor. Mr.. Groom says he was
present when Mr.. Knott made his famous
Duluth speech in Congress. and that he
will remember the scene as long as he
lives. The House was all broke up" he
says, ''by the speech, and all the members
rose to their feet except two-Cobb, of
Wisconsin, and Washburne, of Massachu-
sets, two of the coolest and most impas-
sive men imaginable-anda pplauded and
cheered. The Speaker vainly endeavor ed
TO maintain order, and finally threw down
the gavei, laid over on the desk and acted
the monkey with the rest. Ben Butler
came up and stood directly in front of the
Duluth orator and shook his fat sides with
laughter. Luke Poland, in his famous old
blue coat, stood at his side, while all the
House crowded around amid the widest
excitement. Duluth was all the talk that
day and night" said Mr.. Groom, and for
weeks after. The Oldest members pro-
nounced it lncomparably the best they bad
ever heard. l saw Jay Cooke a few days
ago and he said that speech was the max
ing of Duluth. and that they had street

CONFEDERATE TREASURE FOU Nd
Wilkes county, Ca, is in great excitement
over the discovery Of large quantity of
Confederate treasure. During storm a
few days ago small oak tree was blown
down about nine miles from Washington.
Mr.. John Frank, while riding by, saw
something shining, and examined the
roots of the tree. In the hole left by the
tree he found almost peck of gold and a
large quantity of jewels and precious
stones. Among the latter were diamonds,
.rnbies and pearls, and many pieces of
exquisite workmanship. the value of which
has been placed by several connois-
seurs at 100000. The belief expressed
by all who have seen the treasure is that
it is part of the LOT lost by the Confeder-
ate Cabinet during its flight through this
secti n, as the road upon which this treas
ure was found is the same upon which
the Confederates retreated. 1t is suppos-
ed that the person who secured this part
of the treasure being unable to carry it off
in safety, hid it for security, and either
died natural death or was killed soon
after, and that consequently the treasure
was never unearthed. The great quanti-
ty of jewels and precious stones pawned
by ladies of the Confederacy for the bene-
fit of the cause suggests that it must have
been the contents of the mysterious jew
elry box entrusted to Mrs. Moss and taken
frem her shortly afterwards by q stranger
while retreating through the country.
