grounds have existed for believing that
treasures were left buried in the sandy
soil of Galveston Island. Indeed, did

in Galveston for thirty years after Lafittes
departure, always have plentiful supply

whence it came no one ever knew-no
one besides Old Ben, though efforts were
made time and again to follow him to
his hidden wealth.
Less than fifteen years ago there ar
rived at one of the wharves in Galveston
large and handsome yacht. 1t was
commanded bya very young Frenchman,
accompanied by three grizzly old sailors.
Scarcely a soul was spoken to. Old Ben
was seen in conference with them. Then
the Captain, old Ben and the crew, ex-
cept one sailor who was left to guard the
yacht, disappeared. They were gone for
two days. About midnight of the second
day yawl was seen to glide around a
point of the wharf and up to the yacht.
In the yawl were four men and two large
chests. Silently the chests were trans
ferred TO the yacht. At daybreak the
sails of the vessel were spread and it

The Bear Rugged the Thief.

An Italian who was travelling through
the country about Los Angeles with a
bear, which he had trained to wrest e
and dance, stopped before a farmers
house late one afternoon, and after am s.
ing the family with his performances
obtained permission to stay all night
The bear was placed in the barn for safe
keeping. During the night the fam'ly
were aroused by "a terrible noise in the
barn. Some one was screaming "Mur-
der! Help" and apparently engaged in
a struggle for life. The farmer fastened
to the spot, followed by the Ital an and
Others Of the house, and found the tame
bear with man in his embraces, hug
ging him tightly, while the poor fellow
struggled frantically TO escape. The
bear was muzzled, and could 10 the man
no serious injury, though he was very
uncomfortably situated. The man
proved TO be a dishonest butcher, who
had come 10 the barn 10 steal fine calf.
Ia the darkness he had stumbled over
the bear, who had seized him aud held
him fast. The Italian, learning how
matters stood, called out, Hug him,
Jack !n and the bear continued TO hua
him numerically until the farmer con.
cluded that he had been sufficiently pun
ished, when he was released. The story
soon spread abroad, and the butcher left
the neighborhood 10 escape the ridicule
to which it sub. ected him. San Pedro

A Voluntary White Slave.

A correspondent at Atlanta, Georgia,
writes: "a white slave is a strange sight
in the South, and yet one was seen on
the streets of Atlanta yesterday. John
S Hughes, white man of good charac-
ter, owed Gus Kaglcmacher a sum of
money which he was unable to pay. He
met Kaglemacher yesterday and jokingly
asked him if he would accept bill of
sale of himself rs pay for the debt.
Kaglemacher agreed, a lawyer was called
in and the bill Of sac drawn up and
properly sigued, in which Hughes sold
himself aud his body after death to Gus
Kaglemacher, the said Kaglemacher to
have control of said Hughes as long as
he might live and to barter, sell or con
vey him to others if he chose to do so.
A copy of the contract was given to
each party. After the contract was
handed him Hughes began to think more
seriously Of the matter, and consulted a
lawyer as TO its validity. Upon being
told that it would hold good in the
courts, he got drunk and was arrested.
This morning he was fined ia the police
court, and his owner, who was on hand,
paid his fine, and this evening took him
out to his farm where he says he shall
work for the balance Of his life. n-Nol0

Soaring OF Birds.

The sight of hawks mounting upward
by a wheeling flight in circles must be a
familiar one to all who have lived in the
country. The eagle, the vulture, and
other birds of prey have the habit of
keeping aloft by the same mode of
flight. The course described in ascend
ing is a spiral, and it is made with no
apparent effort. The wings and tail of
the bird are kept spread out to their full
extent, that is all. There is no tapping
nor fluttering, and yet the bird rises
rapidly, aside from the speed with which
it makes each successive round. There
is much mystery about this fight. Natural
lists, like Mr.. Belt, suggest that the bird
uses the center of gravity as a fulcrum,
and takes advantage of the wind by set
ting its wings and tail something like
the sails of boat when tacking.
The difficulty with this explanation is
that the birds are seen taking their flight
in this manner perfectly still days. To
say that there are currents of air moving
up aloft, where the birds are, is nothing
but assumption, when all the evidence
we have that such is the case is the flight
of the birds.
to the action of the wind, there is still q
difficulty in understanding how it hap
pens that one bird so much eXcels an
other in speed, or that the same bird in
creases or slackens its speed so easily as
it does. We may say that this is due to
a difference in the extent of wings, and
in the skill with which they are set
Even then it is inconceivable, upon this
theory, how the swallow, for instance,
attains the speed it does in sealing; and
this, too, when we know there is little
force of wind.
Persons who have observed the alba
tross, the Cape-pigeOn and the stormy
petrol say that these birds are unable to
fly at all in calm weather, except by flap-
ping their large wings. In high winds
they keep themselves up with no other
apparent action than that of changing
the position of the wings. In this case,
the great activity of these birds in stormy
weather does not involve corresponding
WEAKNESS. The winds toss them, and
fondle them, and rock them to rest, if
not to sleep. Naturalists have relied
upon the uniformity of nature in reason
ing from the habits of these sea-fowl to
those of our land-birds. Such reasoning
is usually safe, but there are difficulties
here, as has been shown above.
One object which the hawk and his
kindred may have in soaring is the get
ting into more agreeable temperature.
1t sometimes seems that the hotter the
day, the higher they soar. 1t is possibly
their way of going to the mountains. II
may be that the spiral course is taken to
enable the bird to scan wider field than
it could in any other way. If this sup
position has any foundation, then the size
of the circles described depends upon the
extent of vision, and not upon the wind
or the powers of flight, There is need
of careful observation on some of these
points. - Youth'S Companion.

Convinced Against His VIII.

An inveterate wag walked round to a
door over which the brazen banner Of
Lombardy waved, and, having picked
up a gun marked e5-guaranteed"
from the array of goods exposed for sale,
detached the ticket and walked TO the
back part of the shop and interviewed
the pawnbroker requesting a lone Of 10
shillings on the gun. The pawnbroker
was soon at work persuadng the Joker
that the gun was worthless, and that he
could not lend such a large sum on it.
Then the wag tried to sell him the gun,
but the uncle said he was not to be sold.
The final result of the interview was that
the Joker was hurried out Of the shop
without an opportunity of replacing the
gun, and found himself in the street in
possession Of a weapon that he had been
assured by the owner wanted new lock,
stock and barrel. London Iid-Bas.

We leave the wintry woods and stand y
Beside the old gray wall;
"Good-by,n - he says, and clasps my hand
And leaves me-this is ALL
To him a walk meath cloudy skies,
The careless mirth of friends;
To me, a glimpse of paradise
That all too surely ends.
Why need I, standing in my room,
Recall his parting words,
Why dream of flowers and summer bloom,
And minstrelsy of birdsi
l know that not a thought OF me
Shall fill his heart tonight,
Yet, as the moonbeams on the sea,
Ger me he casts light.
His are the sunny ways of life,
The blossom and the vine;
The thorn, the struggle and the strife,
The aching heart are mine;
In his happy grace and ease,
A welcome freshness dwells,
That bids me dream of highland breeze,
Across the heather bells
/ build my castle but on sand,
know it soon will fall;
gay good-by, clasping hand,
A smile-and this is all.

That bends the snow to kiss;
A winter blossom, small and frail-

That the dimples must learn to speak.
