A Mothers Heart Made Glad

Two boys, aged q and IL years respec-
lively, with tags fastened to their clothes,
reached Philadelphia a few days ago from
California and were restored 10 their
mother by the society to protect children
from cruelty. The children were abducted
last year by peculiar religious sect which
worshiped in Nineland n. j. DIR. Bower
and Sheridan Waite, well known in that
section of New Jersy, were the founders OF
the organization. They induced the
mothers of the boys to join the new relig-
ion and secured $1,000 belonging to her.
They then started for California, and on
reaching Chicago the woman expressed her
intention OF returning with her children.
The leaders refused to surrender the
lads, saying that they intended TO educate
them To be PRIESTS of the Lord The
woman returned alone and appealed To the
society To protect children from cruelty To
recover her boys. A similar organization
in Los Angeles, Cal, was communicated
dren after n long search.

The story is told of a great game
at cold sledge," which was played
in the Gonzalo saloon in New Or
leans, in the old flat-bottom boat
days. One day boatman who
sauntered into the place was watch
ing the play, and at the same time
had his gaze fixed on the large sill
yer buttons which shone on Coma
los coat. After a while the boat
man, who was recognized as Bow
ers," challenged Gonzalo to a game
Of old sledge at $50 aside. The two
went at it, and at first Bowers lost,
but after a while he began to win,
At first ever second game, then two
out of every three. At 3 o'clock in
the afternoon Bowers was 81 800
ahead, and the Mexican had awak-
ened to a decided interest in the
game. He proposed to increase
the bets to 800, which offer was
promptly accepted.
AT 4 O'Clock Bowers had 4,VU
in gold ahead. Gonzalo was some
what pale, but there was not
tremor in his hand. He explained
that they had reached nearly the
limits of his pile, but would play
two more hands at $500 each. Bow
ers won both. The Mexican rose
from the table and shook hands
with his antagonist, and both ad
journed to take a glass of wine to-
gether. The game was the talk of
the town for a number of days, and
GonzalO was teased considerably
about it by his comrades. All this
seemed as nothing, when he re-
ceived a note written in a bold,
scraggy hand, saying:
PARDNER: Els too good to keep,
so I'll tell ct to you. When you

In fact, it would seem absurd that
a vessel whose sole mission was the
establishment of religion upon an
unknown coast should carry such
an amount. The record in the log
book, however, is nearly identical
with the incident mentioned by
Palou. If it is so, and the amount
of treasure carried was all recov-
cred, the fortune of the discoverer,
the doubloons alone considered.
must have approximated $15O,O0O,
1t might also be possible that the
vessel had taken advantage of the
piratical license of the times and
effected the capture of some richly
laden Spanish treasure ship. If
so, the story of the cave might be
considered as fully corroborated.

Benton Weaver, near Anderson
vile, Ca, is the owner of a most
ambitious goat, and the neighbors
have dubbed him Alexander the
Great. This goat left his quiet and
peaceful home, his wife and little
kids, and went out to conquer all
that came in his way. A colored
man named Mace Suffrance seems
to have been his personal enemy.
While Mace was away from home
he invaded his house, butted the
old lady out and then went for the
children. These he put to fight,
with blood trickling from their
heads. By this time the old lady
had collected half a dozen dogs
and put them on the goat.
He soon cleared the house of the
CANNES, some of whom were found
skulking through the woods four
or five miles from home. They
didn't want any more goat in theirs.
Mr.. Goat then walked deliberately
back into the house to survey
his conquest, when he beheld q
huge tomcat, with bowed back and
bristling tail, standing in front of
a big fire in the fireplace, glaring
and splitting at him. The goat low
cred his head and dashed at the
cat, which sprang nimbly over his

section who was arrested for as
sault and battery and was relating
his story to the Judge.
"a traveller on horseback rode
up one evening to his house and
asked for supper, horse-feed and
lodging, all of which were cheer
fully accorded, with true Southern
hospitality. After supper the
stranger insulted the mans wife,
and, Judge said he, | stood that
because he was my guest. Then he
wanted to kiss my daughter, and
chased her out into the kitchen
and then back again, and, Judge, 1
stood that because he was under
my roof and had eaten salt at my
table.
"'Then ran out into the yard
and heaved a stone through the
window, and, Judge, l stood that
because l was determined to be
hospitable. But l went out to the
fellow, and l says to him: Now,
see here, old fellow, I've given you
supper and fed your horse, and in
return you've insulted my wife,
chased my daughter, and heaved a
stone through my window, but I'll
overlook all that because you are
my guest, if you'll only come into
the house, behave yourself and go
tobed. Then I'll give you good
breakfast and send you off rejoicing.
"'And by thunder, Judge, what
do you think he did then? Why,
as sure as you're alive he put his
finger into my buttonhole and
wanted to discuss the tariff with
me, and then d-n him, l hit him."

world. If they ever do, they will
probably be wise enough to adopt
the rule of many sagacious men,
"Never have any business transac-

MARRIAGE ON BUSINESS PRINCIPLES.
When she married 4. II. Green
he was worth three-quarters of a
million, and it was a sort of matri-
monial partnership on strictly busi-
ness principles, though it is under
stood that the fortunes of the two
were to be kept entirely distinct.
He came from Bellows Falls, VT,
where as boy he was esteemed
chiefly for his good nature. He is
a changed man. He scans a dol
lar nearly as closely as his wife.
They have had two children, ore, a
boy, is cripple, the other, girl,
is in delicate health. The boy
seems to have inherited his fathers
more open nature; the girl, if she
lives, will make q financier after
her mothers remarkable pattern.
Mr.. f. H. Green is tall and sparsely
built and is occasionally seen
about town. He is a member of
the Union club and one or two
other similar organizations. Mrs.
Green's aim is said to be to make
her son, the unfortunate cripple,
the richest man in the United
States. To this end she practices
the most rigid economy. She owns
as little real estate as possible in
order to avoid taxation; she lives
in hotels, whether she is in Bellows
Falls, VT, or in New York or Lon
don, and she takes the cheapest
apartments. She dresses very
plainly; she is more than mascu-
line in the simplicity of her tastes.
I" l have seen her." said a banker,
going through the snow to attend a
reception on foot rather than hire a
carriage" And the gossips add
that on such occasions it is the
practice of this frugal lady to draw
a pair of old-fashioned wooden hose
over her shoes as protection
against the elements. One redeem
ing fact remains, namely, the lady
is strictly honest. She is the finan-
cial queen Of this country.

New Thing sat Surprise Parties.

Surprise parties are not 80 nu-
merous as of yore, and kissing par
ties are not SO popular as dancing.
Their indulgence is rare, but, says
the Buffalo Courier, at one of these
parties, the other evening, at an
uptown residence, the Junior female
element insisted on being permitted
to show their brethren something
new. They had founded a new
game it was explained, and wished
to initiate the boys into it's myster-
les. They took possession of the
front parlor and closed the folding
doors, leaving one of their number
on guard. The gentlemen found
one of their crowd-a beardless
youth-had disappeared, and won
dered what had become of him;
they learned to their sorrow. The
lodge being in readiness for the re-
ception of candidates, one of the
candidates was escorted into the
room. He found four blushing
mai1ens in a row in the corner of
the room, with tete in front of
them. Upon this he was seated and
blindfolded, and then told that one
Of the girls would kiss him. If he
could guess her name he would be

Of course, he made a miserable fail.
ure, but instead of being allowed to
retire was compelled to occupy q
seat on the opposite side of tho
room. Just imagine his feelings,
when the next victim was led in
and had been prepared for the sac
rifice, to see the missing beardless
youth rise up ghostlike from behind
the girls, imprint a good, sound
smack on the uplifted and expect
ant lips of the candidate, and then
dodge back to his place of conceal
ment. One after another the
young men were victimized. Tho
fun of it was, though, to hear some
of them demand more than ono
trial before the removal of the
hoodwink-one, well-known ply
sician, not being content with less
than three kisses. He was enthu-
siastic over their sweetness, until
the sweet was turned to gall - he
saw the boy salute his successor to
the throne of mystery.

headforemost into the fire. AS he
felt it scorching him, he reared and
butted the burning stakes in mad
fury. Sutfrance ran in about this
time, and the goat soon had her
treed on the gate-post. A passing
COW attracted Billy's attention, and
he followed her in a whirl Of dust
and was heard of no more. 1t is
thought he had the hydrophobia.

of this inscription, for it lent color
to the assumption that treasure had

tramp and carried off under their

disclosed nothing of moment. and

THE BURIED TREASURE
Has not been revealed. The pos
SCISSOR of the logbook, however, who
is a resident of Oakland, has for
some time past been endeavoring
to translate its contents. But his
unfamiliarity with marine Spanish
and the badly preserved condition
of the document has proved a Sc
we're trial. After severe and con-
tinuous study, however, the follow
ing pertinent facts have been
evolved:
On June 16, 1869, the brig San
Jose, with materials for the estab-
lishment of the Alta California
missions, under command of Jose
de Galvez, set sail for the port of
Loretto, Lower California. Besides
the usual articles used for bartering
purposes with the aborigines, the
vessel contained 10000 Spanish
doubloons and a large amount OF
silver. The logbook contained en-
tries up to July l9, 1863, and at
that date all records ceased.
The writer, in reading Palou's
Life of Padre Junipero Sierra, " finds
mention of q vessel of the same
name as that given in the logbook,
which was wrecked some time du-
ring the year 1859, but no mention
is made Of the carriage Of treasure.
