we hope to make the number up 10 fifty famil es
so that we may make settlement by ourselves
and start with society and all thai goes to make
a persons life endurable. A number oil
those going are possessed of a superior edl:.
cation, and all are well educated All have
some means. They do not feel that
they will be in position to get rich any quicker
in California than here; but they under the
impression that the climate is better and that
life is far more pleasant, owing to shortness OF
winter, etc. We propose taking up land and
settling on it. maintaining ourselves from itt
products.
Now what we want is information on these
points and any others you may think of value
/. Can we get tract of land sufficient for say
fifty families that will not be far from shipping
facilities of some sort
2. What would such tract cost per acre?
3: In what part of the State would you advise
us TO locate in?
L. Can You furnish us with statistics bearing
on the productiveness OF the soil, the prices oil
farm products, AMI the rate of wages, cost OF
farming impl ments, building material, etc.
5. All information as 10 Irrigation and mar
keting

to us in determining our location or in decid.
ing us TO sell here and remove to your State.

State, aud best methods of getting there, SO as
to make the cost as small as possible.
interviewed the Consul here in the matter
and he referred me to yourself saying you

The State Board of Health met in this
city Thursday evening. Present-Orme
(PresidenD, Briceland, Conner, Cole, Gu.
ness and Tyrren.
A communication was received from the
San Francisco Board of Health, asking
that inspectors be placed on incoming
trains, to prevent the spread of smallpox
The communication was placed on file.
The Secretary was instructed to inform
the Boards of Health of other States of
the presence in California of a number of
cases of smallpox.
On motion, it was resolved that the Sec
rotary by authorized to have printed and
distributed 5000 copies OF a circular CIV
ing information regarding the treatment of
smallpox, preventive measures, disinfect-
ants, etc. Secretary Tyrrell reported that
during December Sc cases of smallpox
were reported in San Francisco, and that
there are several cases in Oakland. There
are also, he said, cases at Olema, Marin
county; Redding, North Bloomfield and
Stockton.
A communication from Governor Water
man was read, urging upon the Board the
necessity of taking immediate action to
prevent the spread of contagious disease.
The Governor assured the Board that they
would have his Endorsement in making
any expenditure which they might deem
proper.
DIR. Cluness moved that, in view of the
prevalence of smallpox, the Secretary be
requested to communicate with the Boards
of Supervisors of the State, urging upon
them the necessity of appointing local
Boards of Health in their respective dis
tricts, and instruct them as to the best
methods of preventing an extension of
smallpox.
1t was decided to have train and steamer
inspectors located at Tulare. Truckee San
Pedro, San Diego and Santa Barbara. The
inspectors are to be instructed to impress
upon the public the fact that in vaccination
and re-vaccination alone lies the only GER
tain protection from small pox.
DR.. Cluness took stand against bovine
virus. He said that he believes that of the
thousands and tens of thousands of people
vaccinated recently in San Francisco with
bovine virus, the operation did not take"
in more than ten cases in one hundred
He believed bovine virus responsible for
the spread of the small pox. Humanized
virus will take" in ninety nine cases out
of one hundred. The belief that there is
great danger of the transmission of the
disease by vaccination is a popular
and wide spread error. The doctor
SAID he would be perfectly willing
to have his arm inoculated with virus
taken from the arm of child suffering
with leprosy, provided he knew the virus
had been taken at the proper time-the
eighth day.
The Secretary was authorized to supply
representatives of the Board with virus
without charge also local Boards of Health,
on evidence of inability to pay
Secretary Tyrrell was instructed to COM
municate with CALIFORNIA; representatives
in Congress, and to urge on them the ne
cessity of the passage of the quarantine
bills submitted By the Board.

Beware of ScroMIo

scrofula is probably more general than any
other disease. 1t is insidious in character,
and manifests itself in running sores, pustular
eruptions, boils, swellings, enlarged joints,
assesses, sore eyes, etc. Hoods Sarsaparilla
expels all trace of scrofula from the blood,
leaving it pure, enriched, and healthy.
"Iwas severely afflicted with scrofula, and
over year had two running sores on my neck.
Took five bottles Hoods Sarsaparilla, and am
cured" C. E. LovEJoY, Lowell, Mass.
C. A. Arnold, Arnold, Me-, had scrofulous
sores for seven years, spring and fall. Hoods
Sarsaparilla cured him.

men and women in this chest; and, so far as
could judge from what lay atop, the people
plundered represented several nationalities.
But there were other chests and cases to
explorc--ten in all; two of these were filed
with silver money, a third with plate, a
fourth with English, French, Spanish and
Portuguese coins in gold; but the one over
which Tassard hung longest in a transport
that held him dumb was the smallest Of all,
and this was packed with gold in bars The
stuff had the appearance of moldy yellow

to being worth as much as all the others
put together. The fixed, transported
posture of the pirate-his little shin
ing eyes intent upon the bars, his form in the
candle light looking like a sketch of a strange
wildly appareled man done in phosphorus
coupled with the loom of the black chests,
the sense of our desolation, the folly of our
enjoyment of the sight of the treasure in the
face of our pitiable and dismal plight, the
melancholy storming of the wind, moaning
like the rumble of thunder heard in vault,
and above all the feeling of unreality inspired
by the thought OF my companion having lain

CHAPTER XVIII.
WE TALK OVER OUR SITUATION.


That night, as afterward, Tassard occupied
the berth that he was used to sleep in before
he was frozen. Although had not then the
least fear that he would attempt any malig-
nant tricks with me while we remained in
this posture, the feeling that he lay in the
berth but one next mine made me uneasy in
spite of my reasoning; and was so nervous
as to silently shoot great iron bolt, so that
it would have been impossible to enter with
out beating the door in.
In sober TRUTH the sight of the treasure had
put a sort of fever into my imagination, of
the heat and effects of which was not com
pletely sensible until was alone in my cabin
and swinging in the darkness That the value
of what had seen came to ninety or a hun
dred thousand pounds Of our money, could
not doubt; and win not deny that my fancy
was greatly excited by thinking of it. But
there was something else. Suppose we should
have the happiness to escape with this treas
IRE, then was perfectly certain the French
man would come between me and my share
of it. This apprehension threading my
heated thoughts of tho gold and silver kept
me restless during the greater part of the
night, and | also held my brains on the
stretch with devices for saving ourselves and
the treasure; yet could not satisfy my mind
that anything was to be done unless nature
herself assisted us in freeing the schooner
However, as it happened, the gale roared
for a whole week, and the cold was so fright
full and the air so charged with spray and
hail that we were forced to lie close below
with tho matches on for our lives.

fierce, suspicious CLEAN in his eyes.
"But you have searched the vesselr, he
cried

His countenance cleared.
"You scared me!n said he, fetching deep
breath. 81 was afraid that some one had
been beforehand with us. But it is not con-
ceivable. No. we shall look for it presently,
and we shall find it."
Find what, Mr.. Tassardsn said /.
He held up the fingers of his right hand:
zone, two, three, four, five-five chests of
plate and money; one, two, three-three
cases of virgin silver in ingots; one chest of
gold ingots; one case of jewelry. In alp
he paused to enter into calculation, moving
his lips briskly as he whispered to himself

"My berth is the third, said he. II wish

He took the lantern and went aft, acting
as if he had left that berth an hour ago, and
understood in the face of this ready recur-
renee of his memory how impossible it would
be ever to make him believe he had been
practically lifeless since the year 1853. When
he returned he had on hairy cap, with large
covers for the ears, and big flap behind that

of blood from her lungs. We called In
