sPANIARDs DUPING AMERICANS
A Mythical Fortune the Trap Which
Helps FiIeh Their Pockets.

helps E14en Ihelr Pockets
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE United
States Consul at Malaga, Spain. reports
to the Department Of State that fraudu-
lent scheme, intended to obtain money
from credulous Americans, has recently
been discovered there, after having ap-
parently been for a considerable time in
successful operation. It is as follows:
An alleged cura of one of the Span
ish churches writes to the head
OF a family in the United states
that he attended in his diving moments in
prison a Brigadier, who entrusted him
with the guardianship of u child and
large property. Relationship between
the person addressed and the Young heir
IS lntlmated. Considerable money is al
legged to have been secreted by the Briea-
der during his flight with the Carlist
army, and secrecy is enjuined on account
oIthe sanctity ofthe priestly office, and the
efforts Of the Spanish Government to OBJ
tain the secreted fortune. The communi-
cation ends with request TOR money to
send the child to its American relations.
The Consul adds that he is constantly re-
ceiving inquiries from the United States
about such letters as this. and that in
some instances persons from this country
have even visited Spain for the purpose
OF obtaining the fortune supposed to be
there awaiting them.

An Opportunity for Architects.

Graveyards, perhaps, afford the best Op-
portunity for architects aud others who
are interested in the durability Of differ
ent kinds OF stone, to study the effect Of
the weather upon them. OF course, the
material is here exposed to the action of
the elements in an exceptional degree,
each stone standing by itself, and receiv-
ing in most instances no protection from
its neIghbOTs. In a recent article on this
subject the Scientific american says that
an examination OF the older graveyards
Of the country proves that some Of our
more recently formed stones possess an
enormous amount Of durability; the
states, for instance, Outlasting even mar
BILE, TO say nothing Of sandstone. ssThe
oldest stones which have been f0und,' it
says, those retaining their inscriptions
legibly. .'are those from such quarries as
the Bolton Ledge, in Connecticut, speci-
mems of which may be found in other 10
calities."
