 rZ1, t3,o Eza&se,
 In studying E0oiog:C3i distribution tho range of tho dOm1sr.G ani-Ila!5 Is not to i;o taken into consideration, for man has G=on 50 long engaged in scattC~in z tGcIl over the world that 1t is now impossible to trace thelr original homes. IneieCd, ary attempt to assign them to wild nroSeni,urs must to g large e,,tent be simply grcsS9'orlz. Tho tame cattle of cur Earnyards and folds may perhaps b3 sprung from tho urus and other wild Cc1Cn Whicl GJ enc tune roamed through the vast forests of Europe, and the sty-liying pig from the fierce wild bCars which still hold their own in many parts of the continent and in the thiclzctg Jfnorthorn Africa. n like nnallncr the cat $ supposed to be descended from 8 Persian ancestor, and the various dogs Of different barbarops tribes can with Goilo confidence be con- sidered merely the tanned wolves, foxes, or jacilals Of tho regions which they inhabit. ,
 Tho ass is evidently a civilized form of tho wild ass o3 Abys2inia, but 1t $ doubtful whether y,o have yet ulado any progress in the search after the proSenitors Cf the horse and the camel. No Goubt 2 5o-canol wild horse has been found in Central Acia, and wild camels arc not unIrequent in the same region. But whether these animals arc not tame species which have escaped from do ma5tiCatlOii long SSO ana lS-GStisul!5neti their freedom is 2 question to which f5- vorablo answer might quite as readily be given as to tho contrary thesis. inc tur- key, 1t i3 certain, came from America; the peacock is aIl Indian Bird .t1.l tho guinea fowl was originally from Africa.
 The domestic goose is regarded as de- seconded iron .,.G E5raylag or common wild goose, though II t!2e spaci2s are capable Of domestication, while the duck in our ponGa is in its wild s,ata known as tic mallard.

slowly penetrated by the rays ol tho lantern.
 The horrid odor became almost over- poyyering. Both men stoo,; at tile foot of the stairs, sumnnoning strength with which 10 remain in the place ten min utes.
 Tie feeble light presently disclosed to their eyes, now wontej: to the place, at once the house Of treasure and the tomb!
 Briefly, ;s becomes the awful nature of that scene let us portray it. They stood m one apartment of tho cellar; others were beyond This c>,e was perhaps fifteen feet by thirty. Nearest the walls were heaps of refuse, being mostly rotting sails and cordage.
 A small space remained between this rubbish and vault oT opening at l the middle of the cellar. The stairs i came down at tilc extreme end, so that l the whole scene was before the specta- tors. l Around this narrow space, canvas bags had been deposited. Their mouths had been opened; were open. Their contents were gold - always gold. Some Of them appeared to have been closely examined, for great l gold pieces were scattered thicilly around the border Of the vault No examination Of quantity or denolnina- ton was made at that time; but the l subsequent count of the treasure, in- cluding the large number Of bags not yet removed from the great sunkcn chest, showed a tTi1e in cxcsss of fifty l thousand dollars. 1t revealed French louis dor, Spanish doubIoons and pistoles, Portuguese noidore, British soycreigns. The nHtions of the earth had contributed tc make up the Cap tain's lost treasure.
 This was the splendid sight that the eyes of these mon saw.
 Their eyes returned to it, with the fascination always cxcrtcd upon hu- manity by a great amount of gold. Yet it was to the horrid spectacle in-
 closed by this treasure that they were i longest drawn.
 The heavy stone. intended to cover the trcasurc-vault, had fallen, and | pinned between it and the edge of the vault the shoulders of a man. He must have been standing in the vault, lift
 ing out more bags, and had just raised up to place one outside, when the mcr-

ciless weight descended and fastened him to his living death. His arms were helplessly thrown out; his head was thrown back; the face, distorted with all evil passions, mingled with the ter TOTS of cowardly soul, was the face of Louis Hunter
 What pen, what tongue, could DOT tray the horrors of that slow and lin- gering death. compounded of stalva- tion and suffocation? Who can speak of the tormcnts of the soul, to which the physical bangs were trifling, as hours and days went on, and brought no relief? Who tell of the cries, the groans' and moans, protracted through days and nights, the least of which had reached tho ears of Tom Burt; and which were unheard or dis regarded, because, more than for any other reason, the man who thus sui fered and died had prepared men to disregard and shun them!
 No man could say how this tragedy had occurred. It might have been that the covering stone, reared back against a pile of rubbish by the utmost efforts of this man, was placed insecurely, and had fallen because of it.
 Or it might have bocn that the movements of the plunderer in the vault had brought it down upon him.
 Or might it be, as some of the deeply religious and God-fcaring people Of Provincetown asserted, that special providence was exertcd. and that the vengeance of an outraged God was hurled upon the wicked man in the height of his seeming triumph?
 We do not know. We only know that Henry Crawford became pro- foundly impressed as he looked upon this scene.
 His mind went back barely three months to the burning deck of the Nellie Willis. He saw himself lying helpless, prostrate, apparently dying. He saw the man whose dead, staring eyes and contorted features here con- 1 frontcd him, bending over him in | satanic triumph. He recalled his own words uttered then: .sGod will never permit such villainy to triumph! l l tell you now, you will be overtaken and punishedr' He remembered his present assured happiness, with love and wealth both given him. He bowed his head; he was humbled in an in stant. Tom Burt heard him audibly l pronounce the words:
 Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord"

 Il reckon can. It was bout 'levcn o'clock of the night of the day that tho wimmin left tho house."
 Like a flash did Captain Willis brief account of the place of concealsnent of his treasure occur to Crawford's mind, with the details that he had given, and particularly the stress lie had laid on the difficulty of raising the enormous stone that covered it.. His heart bounded nadly at the thought perhaps the triumph of yillainy had re coiled upon itself, and there succeeded that other exultant thought, that he had himself been brought here this ! day to restore the Captains money to it's rightful owners.
 He laid his hand firmly on Tom's shoulder. 'I declare, , that worthy said aftcrward, in describing the sceno, ''io looked that proud and happy that l didn't wonder Miss Helen had took to him so. And he looked bold and resolute like, and he spoke like 2 P@al Jones givin' his orders on the quarter deck.
 Thomas Burt" said Crawford, ''therc are no ghosts in that house, l there never have been any. The cellar l from which you heard those noises is 1 the place where Captain Willis buried 1 his treasure. When he saiicl on that last voyage that landed his kind soul in Heaven, he had fifty thousand dollars buried there; what you say makes me l very hopeful that it's there now. I'm l going down there th;s minute; it'll l take more evil spirits than have ever 1 got together there, to stop lie.

 The time came, net long after thia, tl.at Tom Burt received the promised reward. He exhibited it at the tavern to the admiring eyes of his associates, l and to the cnyious one eye of o}l Pe- ter Mullins. He remarked, as he showed it.

 A few days ago ono Of the Ford negroes in Worth County, Ga, killed huge rattle snake, which, upon being examined, sported sixteen rattlos, measured 715 feet in length, 3la inches between the eyes, and when the skin was prepared to Dc stuffed 1t held over Q peck and q half ot sawdust.
 A few days ago Miss Susie GourIey, living Q few miles south Of Bartley, Neb., found a large rattlesnake on the prairie. Finding no stick CT stone she took eff her shoe and threw 1t at tho reptile several tinIes. As she picked up her shoe the snake struck her on tho hand, biting her glove but inlict- ing no injury. The girl then jumped On the snakes head and stamped it to death.
 John Seren, Of Derry Township, West moreland County, while moving grass in his meadow the other day, noticed a black snake protruding his head far above the grass. MT. $. kept his eye on the serpent nearly all the forenoon, but missing him after awhile, he began to wonder where the reptile had gone, when 10! his nlowing g machine came to 9 standstlll, and on his making examination as to the cause, he discovered the hugo biaclzsna1e twined around tho cutter bar, stopping the motion. On Tuesday afternoon, says the Altoona Times, when ono of the inofensivo postal clerks went to put 8 package in the post office box Of Andrew Todd, he was mortified to sec tho head of 3 snake sticking out of tho box and slyly trying to hiit with him with his tongue. lie, Of course, nsado a nasty retreat and summoned tae rest of the forco to tho scene. After considerable naneuvering with ropes and grapnais, the reptile was at last gotten to tho floor, where one of the clerks succeeded in crush ing 1t with his foot. The snake was fifteen inches in length, and 1t IS said that tho ex- ocuticner covered it's entire length with his foot These are facts.

PART IV.-CUAPTE Efs III. I'll. IF MIL . nLr Cnn

The front door of the latcly-Qccup;od part still hung open; the rain had i}eat in; there had been no fires in this p;rt for six weeks, and the atmosphere was damp and chill. Deferring visit to Mrs. Willis abandoned rooms until tho great curiosity and interest that pressed at his heart had been satisfied, CraW- ford mounted the stairs. He found that a door between the upper hall and the old part, which had been kept barred and boltod, Icy shattered and broken on the floor, as if beaten in by blows of an axe. He passed through the aperture, Tom Burt closely follow ing, and stood i'll ono of the long-de- serted rooms.
 In what way Captain Willis had been accustomed to make his secret visits to the old cellar he had not been in formed. He paused now a moment to reflect that it had probably been by some more convenient outside passage; but he was now so far on his way that he would not turn back.
 lie had provided himself with 8 pocl1et-lantern, which lie now lit. The room was bare of furniture, as was every other that he saw in this part of the house All was dark, damp and musty; the dust and cobwobs of half a century were around him.
 But he was too eager to be awed by such thoughts. He passed through this room and two others before finding the stairway. Descending it, the loose | and rotten boards creaked and cracked beneath his tread, and bats flew at the light.
 In the rooms below he searched for some minutes before finding the cov- cred recess by which the stairs de- scended to the cellssT. He knelt down and thrust the lantern into the open 1 ing. The darkness and dampness of the rooms he had trayersed were multi piled in that noisone depth. A sick ening smell perEaded the air. Tom Burt stood trembling behind him, his hand grasping the skirt of Crawford's coat The young man turned and spoke to him:
 '.Burt, be not afraid; you will meet no spirits down here. Yet, what l have already discovered tells me that it is @ place of horrors. Summon your fortitude; nothing will harm you; but you will need courage to face what you must see. Come!-keep hold of my coat, if it pleases you"
 | Tn this way they went down, some of the steps not only cresking, but break ing beneath their feet. Burt kept well behind Crawford, and it was over the young mans shoulder, as he held up the lantern above his head, that the sailors first clear view of the ghastly and wonderful spectacle of the cellar was had.
 | Some minutes were necessary to ac- custom their eyes to the gloom of the place, which was with difficulty and J,.
