ABox of Money Discovered.

EVANSVILLE, February / An unusual
and remarkable find OF money was maze
in this city this morning by lot OF work
men engaged in tearing down the old
building situated on Fulton avenue, and
until recently occupied by Mr.. Valentine
Schneider. 1t is, or rather was, one OF
Evsnsville's old history landmarks. Inc
building was constructed OF excellent tim
ber and had stood upon that site since
1882. 1t was large log house, which from
time to time had been altered and inn
proved to keep up to the times, bat few
DAYS since it was purchased by Mr.. Fred
Karges, who determined to tear it down
and erect a modern building upon the site.
Accordingly this morning number of men
commenced the work OF destruction.
The roof was torn and the logs rolled down
when suddenly there fell from a crevice in
the front wall large copper box, which
struck the floor below with a peculiar
Changing noise. Naturally the curiosity of
every carpenter was at once aroused
to ascertain its contents. The box had
been locked and sealed, but when it was
finally opened, to the astonishnent of the
workmep, IL was found to be filled wit 4
SO and $50 gold pieces. Six thousand dol
lars of the precious coins were soon cunt
ed and spread before the hungry case cd
the delighted workmen. As ,oon as theit
widest excitement over the 7; ch find hT
slightly subsidized, they agreed To mutually
divided among themselves. In the mean
time the purchaser of the property heard
of the windfall and hurried to his now de-
pleted treasure house; but the men had
iran sferred the precious box to safe re-
treat and the owner is using frantic efforts
to secure it as his pro perty. How the
money came to be hidden in the walls is
mystery. During the fifty-six years OF its
occupation it has been cuDied by num-
erous families and several deaths have oc-
Cured therein. 1t is believed, hO Tever, to
have been the hoard of an old miser, who
died there just prior TO the war OF the re-

To the Editor of the New York Times:
DR.. Sangrado maintained that the most
infallible remedy for ali diseases mankind
is heir to is simply bleeding and luxe

Notwithstanding this simple and powerful
remedy, invariably died. History repeats
itself. Senator Sangrsdo Sherman in his
powerful speech in the Senate has laid
down, as a demonstrated rule, to make q
nation happy and rich is to tax all articles
of necessity tc that high degree which rea,
sonable people would think calamity. |
herewith give an extract of duties exscted
on the strict necessaries of life during the
year 1867. dividing it into two classes
first, taxation of 100 per cent. and over;
second, taxation of not less than 6O per

Indiana Farmers Prote citing Fish.

SHELBYvILLE, February 5.--For years the
fish in the streams of Shelby County have
been almost wholly unprotected and left
to the ravages of those who desired to Sc
cure them By other methods than that of
the hook and line. The representatives of
the law have done some prosecuting OF late
against persons engaged in SEEMING, but
many guilty persons have escaped convic-
ton.
number of prominent gentlemen in
this city have therefore formed an AN
glers' Association" which will make an
especial effort this year TO protect the fish.
The association will have branches in each
township and good sized reward will be
paid for exposures OF persons violating the
fish laws. The ASSOCIATION will also make
an effort to procure from the Government
lot Of California speckled trout to place
in the streams of the county. This species
of the hnny tribe are quite beautiful and
breed very rapidly.

Women in French Public Offices

superior to men In everything which calls for

Michel says: "rhey discover errors with that

all eyes In the opera box which the senator
kept for the exclusive use Of his family.
Lately, however, she has become somewhat
surfeted with her notorlety, and has been
seen in the body of the theater. The first
Mrs. Tabor lives not farlfrom the ex-senator's,
aud they probably run across each other
nearly every day of their lives. They had
when they were married young man with
them known as an adopted son, and he still
maintains friendly relations with both his
foster father and foster mother He is In
business in Denver and has some dealings
with the first Mrs. Tabor When the senator
cast her off he gave her property worth about
$500, 900, and II has increased greatly In value
since. There was one plot of forty lots, OF
which the lady has recently sold sixteen for
100000. She has another block In another
part OF the city which brings her In a good
rental, though the houses are 30 eYpen-
sively built that they do not pay such

wise would. The senator and the present Mrs.
Tabor GO about good deal in Denver aud are
usually we'll received, though there are some
circles that are exclusive toward the lady.

The execution of a criminal is not
vengeance upon HIM, but warning to
others Imprisonment for life would
serve as well if the only demand of
society We're the removal of the felon.
But experience has shown that Il life
sentence to state prison is not sufficient
ly dreaded by law breakers. | remem-
Der that the day Jacob Sharp was
arraigned two youth, one nineteen and
one twenty, were sentenced for life.
Two minutes later they were laughing
and chatting together as unconcerned
as though the sentence were for
month. New trials. a pardon, COM
mutation, possibly an escape-these are
all within the range of hope in case of
life sentence, but with the gallows it
is different, and that menace is found
necessary, however revolving it may DO.
Many evils attend the present system,
however. The moral effect of the death
sentence is often destroyed by the ex-
C tement in the town in which it is to
take place, and by the exaltation of the
criminal, who is for days the central
figure in the community. Maudlin
sympathy has an upheaval in his honor;
flowers, fruits and dainties are pressed
upon him; hysterical women throng TO
see him, and from being felon he is
made hero, martyr and an example
of Christian fortitude and forbearance.
