 Ing morning, after efectually banking 7np the mouth of the drift, set out ppon my lengthy voyage, which &C., complished in exactly three weeks, with but few unpleasant adventures During the trip, and without exciting the slightest suspicion of any one on the way as to the valuable nature of my cargo.
 "At New Orleans I sold my doub- looms to Laspies and Du Bois, bankers and brokers of that city, receiving in exchange an equivalent in American |gold, amounting in the aggregate to l$390,0O0. Purchasing English, French land German exchange with my money, I took passage for Liverpool on the first European bound vessel, and after sojourning awhile in my native town of Truro, I determined upon spending the balance of my days in wandering about the world, thus gratifying an ambition which had been my fondest dream from my earliest boyhood. Having journeyed, many times over, through every continent on the hemi- |sphere, covering more consecutive miles in that manner than any other traveller in existence, have tempora- rily given up my wandering, with which am becoming somewhat sur- feited, and propose to seek rest among the scenes of my early manhood, which are still familiar to me, although thirty-one years have passed since I turned my back upon them, my heart deeply elated over the golden fortune which had SO suddenly and wonder fully come into my hands,"
 The drift in which Stanhope found the Spanish treasure was not discov- cred until 1876, when two Irish pros- pectors-one of them Tom Shannon, we'll known in this region as the "Hero of Chickamauga'-broke into the cave after several years of fruitless search for an "opening" and took out of it large fortune in mineral. The chest which contained the doubloons secured by Stanhope was found by Shannon and occasioned unbounded surprise and no little speculation as to how it got there. The mystery has, of course, never been solved but it is believed by Stanhope that the chest of treasure was stolen by some of De Soto's soldiers at the time he discov- cred and explored the Mississippi and was secreted in the cave, the entrance to which had been blocked up by the alluvial deposits and changes of up- wards of three hundred years.

Russian Poverty and Misery.

Edmund Noble, in Atlantic Monthly.
 St. Petersburg is European, and half the things which pain one there are felt to be in some sort of association with the evils and vices of the west. But Moscow has it's own miseries, and they arc so intensely Russian, so char acteristic of the vaster Moscow of which the old Moscow is merely the tiny center, that in becoming sensible to them one shudders not for com- munity merely, but for a whole peo- pie. The contrasts which life offers in St. Petersburg are contrasts merely between things which it is scarcely just to compare-between a we'll be- ing that is foreign and want that is native; but in Moscow want is the elder brother to poverty, yet stands divided from it by chasm that is as impenetrable as it is merciless. There is distinct alliance of roughness and semi-culture between the rich mer- chant, who does business daily in the White Town, and the wretched street vender, whom he passes on his way a dozen times; yet the two are farther apart than the poorest and the richest classes in western Europe. Moreover, poverty is so unspeakably miserable in Moscow that it seems to be the characteristic rather of distinct spe- cies of the animal man than of any particular layer of the population. The streets daily yield figures which can only on general principles of an- thropology be called human. The eye difentangles face from these mov- ing masses of rags but slowly and painfully, and unless the inspection is at long range, the nose itself is apt to protest.
 The Russian summer calls innumer- able peasant beggars and country paul. pers to Moscow. In the daytime they explore the city from gate to gate, halting from time to time to beg aims, or munch the fragments of black bread, which form the chief spells of their diurnal quest. Many women of this class are young and robust, fresh from the labors of the field but some are old, infirm and haggard. All eA uA6o oAOuS W1tu tuc alQ OI U Btau, and all wear 6 rude canvas bag tied around the neck. At night, long after the last vesper has died away, when the White Town is deserted, and the suburban residences are gay with lights, with music, ard with the laughter of happy men and women, this vast army of the penniless and the miserable seeks its nocturnal repose- heaven knows where-on the forsaken field of the days markets in the open air, on the steps of churches and ca- thedrals, or in the quadrangles and courts of palaces and public buildings. To be unutterably wretched and yet to be . nightly sojourner in the aouter courts of heaven to be poor, and yet to fhll asleep with only tho thickness of wan separating one from some of the most useless and costly accumula- tions of treasure in Europe, the con- version of which into money would furnish tho means for banishing acute poverty from Russia altogether --such experiences q these are the lot of thoUaands to whom Nosoow is less 6 place of pilgrimage than . center of hot, weary, dusty nie, focus of fburn- n ~$~~

TOO MUCH ROTATION

The SENTINEL has noted with re-
greet the tendency in North Carolina
political life to divide out the spoils
and "take turn about going to the
legislature and to congress. For
instance, it seems to be an unwritten
law in the 4th. district that no con-
gresham shall 60 more than twice.
Last year, when General Cox had Sc
cured large influence in Washington
and had been placed as chairman OF
one of the most important committees
of the House, it was decreed that this
gentleman's political head must come
off by the half dozen political aspir-
ants in his district, and it did. And
the result was, the district was lost and
a radical of the blacklist dye, named
John Nichols, was sent to Washing
ton in the place of such an able man
and thorough gentleman as General
Cox.
We complain that North Carolina
gets little recognition at Washington,
that so few of our men get on impor-
tant committees. 1t is true that we
have little influence there, but it is
our own fault. Of course if we send
men to Washington like Brewer or
Nichols we can never expect recogni-
ton and not much respect, but if we
send man like Cox, or Henderson,
we ought to let him stay until he fails
in his duty. Occasionally there are
men who go, and do nothing but vote
for northern jobs, wear white cuffs,
and look handsome,an these We ought
to get rid of just as soon as possible,
but the majority of our representa-
tives and Senators are worthy men
who can serve US better the longer
they stay.
The immediate cause of these re.
marks was an article in one of the
state papers, saying that Hon. Jno. S.
Henderson would be opposed in his
district next time ny Mr.. Bradshaw,
gentleman whom we know to be able,
but who could not, for some time, WELD
the influence which Mr.. Henderson
does.
The retirement of Mr., Henderson
would be calamity to the entire peo-
pie of North Carolina We have
watched the public course of Mr.. Hen
derson and desire to say this: there is
not man from North Carolina in
either the House or the Senate who
does as much work for North Caro-
lima as Mr.. Henderson. He fought
the Revenue system last year and was
only defeated by the narrowness of
faction Speak er This time he has

fcation bill through the House that

Ohio, where he gained recognition a
lawyer of ability and man of sterl-
ing integrity. So well did he win the
confidence of the people that he was
elected to the Ohio legislature and was
afterward rendered the nomination
for Congress and place on the Su
preme Court Bench of Ohio.
He declined the latter honors, pre-
ferring to devote himself t, tn, prac
tice of law, in which he was maxim g
an enviable success.
In 1871 Gen. Grant appointed him
one of the counsel for the United
States, to appear before the commits
sioner to arbitrate the differences be-
tween this country and Great Britain
growing out of the destruction of
American vessels by Confederate
cruisers that had been equipped in
England.
In 1873 he presided over the State
Convention of Ohio and on January
"a, 1874, after the death of Chief
Justice Chase, President Giant ap-
pointed him to the vacancy, he be
coming thus the 7th Chief Justice of
the United States.
Commenting on his death, the Raj
eigh NeaCs and Observer says:
"And now after a dozen years of
hard service have attested the fitness
of the selection, we doubt whether it
was not the best appointment made Dy
General Grant during his entire ad-
ministration.
"The practice has been for the Chief
Justice to ride the North Carolina cir
cult and thus Judge Waite at once be-
came we'll known to our Raleigh bar
by whom he was from the first held in
very high esteem. He was without
afectation in his Department, and easy
of approach both on the bench and in
social conversation. On the bench he
was direct going to the root of the
matter-and SO plain, so easy, that
while he gave forth no uncertain
sound, the side that met with discom-
future flet it had no cause of griev-
ance. He had the courage of his con-
victions, and when the occasion rem
dered it proper, he would refuse to
concur in the decisions of his bretheren
and place his own views on record to
be judged of by the profession and
posterity. Not year ago he filed
dissenting opinion in the drummers
tax case, which was almost an indig
nant protest against the decision rem
dered by Justice Bradley over riding
the principles of constitutional con-
struction which had so long been OBJ
served by the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
"About four years since Judge
Waiet's health failed, and it was
thought that he would then retire from
the bench, but the trouble passed
away, and when he was last in Raj
eigh, about two years ago, he seemed
entirely we'll. He was II years of
age, and had the privilege Of retiring
on full pay, had he been SO disposed.
"In personal appearance Judge
Waite was not pleasing. There was
not a due proportion in his figure, his
head and features being very large
and his body thick-set, with a short
neck /; but these physical defects soon
became unobserved after acquain-
lance with him.
