PLOUGHING UP GOLD,
A Tenants Plough Point Struck a
Miser's Buried Treasure.

from LAe UdFCeSbOR NelCS.
Some eight miles southeast of Kemp, on
Twelve Mile Prairie, lives family by the
name Of Godfrey. In 1875 old man God
frey took sick and died in a short time
with congestion Of the lungs. The old
man was in fine circumstances, had con-
siderable stock aud good deal of money,
He was in the habit OF keeping his money
buried, and mad it all buried at the time
ne was taken sick, His wife being dead,
ne told no one where be kept il except his
oldest son, a boy II years of age, and, as
recent developments have proved, this
bow did not know where it was all buried
After the old mans death the boy, in COM
pany with his uncle, repaired to the place
where he knew the money was buried,
and they got up several thousand dollars.
Many OF the old neighbors, and even his
own children, have always believed that
there was more money buried around the
premises, and time and again have
searched for it without finding any
thing. The old home mas been rented out
from year to year to various individuals.
1t was rented this year to a man by the
name of Aston, who moved the fence
from around the plum orchard, and in
blowing in Oats.last April his plow struck
an old coffee pot, which, upon investiga-
tion, proved to contain a quantity of gold
pieces, estimated at something near 100
$50 gold pieces. Aston kept this a secret
from all except young man coming
home with him from town. One day
when he was full OF the oil OF gladness
he told the young man he had plenty of
gold, and il be- would 20 with him he
would snow it to him, which he did.
Fine passed or. Aston, who was man
of limited means. spent money this fall
rather reckessly, ana on last Thursday
morning the proof OF the Godfrey family
mad, connected with all the crcum-
stances, caused the arrest OF Aston, VINO
Is now under heavy bond, for the money
he found, which beyond all doubt is the
money old man Godfrey buried some ten
or twelve wears ago.

A BAND OF BLACK FIENDS
DIRECTORS OF THEFT TO BE
SILENCED BY DEATH.

York County, in the Palmetto state, the
Stamping Ground of the Bloody Band
Young Good Now Known 10 Have
Been One of the Victims of the order.
CHARLESTON, Dec. IA week ago the
Sews and Courier published dispatch
from York county, S. c., reporting that
white boy named John Lee Good had been
beaten and mangled, that he soon died
and that four colored men had been ar
rested as his murderers and committed
10 jail. Ii was stated that the theory was
that some OF the negroes had been detected
by the boy IN the act of stealing cotton
from his fathers field, and that to prevent
their arrest they killed hin. There was
great excitement in the county in conse-
Quence and several more arrests were
made. The News and Courier TO get at
all the facts sent a special correspondent
TO York and will publish tomorrow the
result OF his investigation.
BLACKS BANDED FOR MURDER.
There is evidently an alarming state OF
Affairs in York county, and it IS proved
eonclusiyeiy that an organization exists
among the colored people which contem-
plates murder in the event of the detec-
lion Of any member accused OF CRIME.
Twenty-six negroes are now under arrest.
An inquest on the body of the murdered
boy before a discreet jury brought out all
the facts. One OF the negroes turned
States evidence and another admitted
that be had killed a man who was muir
dered in tee county eighteen months ago.
Several OF the coOred witnesses at the
Inquest swore that they bad club or
clan in the county for the purpose OF steal
ing cotton, provisions. whisky, etc.
THEFT TO BE BACKED BY MURDER.
The members were to steal whatever
they wanted. and, il detected, were sworn

Among other things revealed at the in

who was thought to have money, but the
ASSASSIN missed him. One of the wit
nesses gave a detailed account of the
murder of the poor boy John Lee Good,
and also the names of his accomplices IN
the crime. The talk of a general lynch
iug has abated, but the indignation aud
unrest are intense.
A hundred white men rode to the Jail
in Yorkville at O'Clock this morning,
battered the outer door down and de-
manded the four muTderers Of John Good.

still, the little god, Cupid, does not

and an intellectual, well educated girl

her future partner. How long it may be
ere she obtains this privilege in France
is doubtful, for the French character pre-
sents a curious combination OF hasty

ate tenscity TO fatal prejudice that
could easily be surrendered with advan-

Alexander, sent for three charming

"There's our Empress" said the old dow.

Catherine had her two grandsons, Alex

ARARE SURGICAL OPERATION.
Removal Of a Section of a Mans
Backbone,


Backbone.
CINCINNATI. Dec. 13.-Oneof the rarest
and most dangerous operations in the
scope of surgery has been lately per-
formed at the Cincinnati Hospital. 1t
consisted of removing about three inches
OF the backbOn and exposing the spinal
cord. The patient was young colored
man about 2l years old. When first ad-
mitted to the hospital he was suffering
from terrible disease, which had broken
out over the head, neck and back 10 the
form OF large assesses, the chief one Of
which was about the middle of the back,
and had eaten away the backbone tn a
considerable extent. The poor fellow
was compelled always to lie on his face.
HIS legs were completely paralyEed. 1t
was decided that his only chance of
escaping death lay in the removal Of a
part OF the backbone, so as 10 stop the
process OF decay.
He was turned on his face, and the sur
geon made an incision down the spine. A
large quantity OF pus was revea led, and
the cavity was sponged out carefully, in
order to see just where the knife was
going. In this region, where one slip If
the knife or one false move would have
been fatal to the patient, the surgeon with
q chisel and hammer cut out all that
which was in any way affected, never
touching toe spinal cord. All causes OF
suppuration and paralysis were removed.
The patient recovered from the ether and
was placed in bed on his lace. In three
days motion returned to his legs. and he
was able to move his feet for the first
time in nearly year. About the same
time sensation began 10 return to the
limbs. liz about three weeks he could
bear some weight on his legs. He at
length became strong enough to stand
with assistance and take a step or two.
He is now able to walk to the end OF the
ward and sit down in a char with COM
fort. The wound has gradually closed
up, leaving only slight scar, and causes
him little or no pain.

HINTS ON WASHING.

Combining the Cleansing Process with the
Preservation of the Goods Washed.
Washing is SO common a thing that
one might readily suppose every house,
wife familiar with the mysteries of it
And SO they frequently are. so far, at
least as enables them to make things
look clean, but how few can combine
this cleansing process with the preserve
ton Of the articles which are washed.
Almost invariably the same system il
used in washing articles of every de-
scription. have been told by gem
tleman who has had much experience in
hiring help for the laundry in hotels,
that it is exceedingly difficult to get
good laundresses even there. where there
is not so great variety of washing to
be done as in private families In wash
ing plain, white clothes a few general
rules will suffice. First, never put your
clothes to soak the night before wash
day, unless you use warm water and
soap them well. 1t is not necessary to
ssoak them at all. For washing. prepare
tub of warm water with little soda,
which is not at all injurious to the
clothes if used in reasonably small guam
titles. II there are spots on any article,
wet them first in cold water, then take
each article separately and put it
into the warm water, soaping
well all the parts that are much
soiled. When your tub is well filled
push the clothes back and add hot wa
ter, but be careful not to put it on the
clothes, or you will be likely to scald
the dirt into them. Wash them twice
before boiling, and rinse thoroughly
after. The washerwoman of Belgium
and Holland, so proverbially effective
in their work, use borax instead of soda;
it saves soap, softens the hardest water.
and does not in the least injure the
texture of the linen. Colored muslns
or lawns must be washed one by one
in cold water. II they are very dirty,
above all, be careful not to use the
smallest particle of soda. The best
soap for articles of this material is the
common yellow. A small piece Of alum
should be boiled in the water in which
the lather is made. The soap should
not be allowed to remain any time in
the linen. but the articles washsd
should be rinsed Immediately after
washing. and hung out to dry. Leave
al the articles beside the tub, washing
each separately. They must be ironed
IS soon as they dry, and not allowed to
remain damp over night nor sprinkled.
Do not iron with hot irons. Pink and
green tints may withstand the washing,
but will be likely to change color az
soon as q hot iron is put on them.-
