them a few griddle cakes until they get
well acquainted with you. Teach them
to walk by your side, and to carry their
heads up by gently tapping them with
the butt end of your CAD under the
chin, and then they will soon learn to
back, haw and gee, and the boys will
have a team which will soon aid in car
rying grists to the mill, or hauling
stones on a stone-boat for building or
repairing fences, and much other work
required of a team of horses.

A work basket or w~aste-paper basket
which has become worn and broken at

purpose by lining it; have the lining

Two pretty tides for the back of q

three pieces of blue ribbon the length of

narrow lace, not more han an inch and

contrasting color of ribbon; pink or

The American Cultivator says that
hanging baskets have gone out of favor,
because of the untidy drip from them,
and low-standing j~ardinieres, tastefully
filled, are better liked, since to look in
to a plant is the only way to appreciate
it's loneliness. We are also reminded
that in filling a jardiniere bulbs may be
buried in the soil, which will give us
later a truss of hyacinth, a crocus or a
dainty snowdrop, a delightful surprise.

SUNKEN TREASURE.
Renewed Mspes That the Golden Cargo

oi " AsHISGroS. January 2.--The Solicitor
OF the Treasury was notified tt-day that
there will BE submitted to him certain
legal questions recently arisen in connec-
ticn with the work OF recovering the
treasure supposed to be lying in the
wreck of the British frigate Hrssaf, at the
bottom OF East river, New York, just be-
low Post Norris. The Hussar was wrecked
in 1850, willie on the way to Norwich,
Conn. She is supposed to have had
on board nearly million pounds sterling
intended for payment to the British troops,
also seventy American prisoners chained
to the san deck Attempts have been
made ut intervals for many wears to re-
cover the treasure which, it is believed,
went down with her; but on account OF
the great depth OF the water, and the
swiftness OF the tide in the chan
mel where the wreck lies. all such
attempts have hitherto been fruitless The
company no2 engaged in the work under
took il at their own expense and risk
upon an agreement with the United States
government that they should have ninety
United States TO have the other ten per
cent, together WITH all relics OF value
which might be found From the fact
that a legal question has arisen concern
ing the sunken treasure, and it is to be
submitted to tiie law officer OF the Treas
ury, the inference is drawn of better
prospect than ever before for the recovery
of the money, but nothing is known
definitely about it or about the nature of
the question raised.
