Hunting for Buried Treasure.

A story is told in an Allahabad paper
of a Brahmin, who, living at Monghyr,
rejoiced in the possession of an amulet
which had fallen to him from long gen.
erations of ancestors. Like most anu
lets, however, it proved no charm
against poverty, and, reduced by the
pangs of hunger to the last extremity,
the Brahmin went to a goldsmith and
offered his amulet for sale. The gold
smith broke it up to test the quality of
the metal, and discovered within it's hol-
low center scrap of paper covered with
minute reading, which recorded that
close to the shrine of Pr Shah Napol
there lay buried treasure to the value of
fourteen lacs of rupees. The Brahmin
has now obtained the sanction of the
government to have the plot of ground
excavated. A rich Mahajan of Monghyr
has taken contract for digging the
ground, on condition that six anna
share of the entire property be given to
him. The government will take one
fourth and the remainder will be the
Brahmin's. Many laborers have been en-
gagged to dig up the place, but no trace
of the money has yet been discovered

Famine in Galicia.

According to the Polish press famine
has already broken out in Austria's great
Polish province of Galicia. In eighteen
districts of that province the crops this
year have been entirely lost. The har-
vest was, moreover, very bad in forty
eight other districts. Only in twenty
three districts did the peasantry get
enough food for themselves and their
live stock for the winter. tits announced
that in many places the peasants are kill
ing their horses rather than see them
starve. Nearly 1000 horses are said to
have already been thus destroyed, and
their carcasses sold as manure. In some
parts there are large heaps Of the bodies
of horses now lying on the roadside. In
one district 1900 horses are said to have
been sold at the price Of sixpence head
to manufacturer Of compost, as the
railway rates are too high to make the
export of the emaciated animals, pay

~ A Horihas shark story.
The Melbourne Argus prints the fol-
lowing, under date Sydney, Oct. Is:
Thomas Punch, Fred Riley and Ed
munds were indulging in their usual
pull in their club skiff in the harbor this
morning. As they were passing between
Bradley's Head and Clark Island, the
scene of the late fatal boat accident, they
were Mortified to see a shoal of sharks
tossing about a human body. They
pulled nearer the spot, and then discov-
cred the body to be that of a female COM
pletely dressed and swollen to an enor-
nous size by long immersion in the
water. The party endeavored to make
fast the body to the boat, but the sharks,
surrounding it, passed under the frail
boat so viciously that the occupants be-
came alarmed and pulled away to give
notice to the police. Mr.. Tooth's small
steam yacht was within hail and quickly
reached the spot; but the sharks were so
fierce that they tossed the body quite out
out of the water, and so terrified the
men on the yacht that they were obliged
to wait till the water police arrived be-
fore they could secure the body. Then
horrible sight was witnessed. As the
remains were being lifted into the boat
the sharks fiercely attacked them and
tore away nearly all the left side. The
remains were eventually removed to the
Circular Quay morgue.

The sahara's March.

Sand dunes from the Sahara desert
have been seriously encroaching upon
the cases in the southern part of Tunis,
and awhile ago the French government
sent E. Blanc to see what could be done
to prevent the desert from further aS-
.Fances upon the GASES. He has returned, !,
after carefully studying the problem.
He reports that, in his opinion, the whole
southern part of Tunis is in process of
gradual desiccation. The desert is slowly
extending its boundaries to the north.
Far within the present limits of the des-
ert Mr.. Blanc found numerous ruins of
buildings erected during the Roman oc-
cupancy, showing conclusively that at
the dawn of the Christian era fertility
and verdure reigned where now only the
sterility of the desert exists.
/ AS yet Mr.. Blanc is unable to suggest
any practical measures for saving the
cases from gradual extinction. His or
ders were to see if steps could be taken
with advantage similar to those employ
ed in France to prevent the sand dunes
along the Gulf Of Gascogne from en-
cfoaching upon the cultivable lands.
His answer is in the negative. The
great difficulty in the way Of fighting
the evil is the lack of water, and he
doubts that q sufficient quantity can be
8cured by means Of artesian wells. The
@ene of his Investigations is in the south
west part of Tnnis. Paris Special.

A decision which may be Of some i'm
portance to the gilded youth of this
capital, provided the courts here adopt,
as is the present fashion. in our juris-
prudence, the American precedent, is
that OF a Massachusetts, judge who had
before him case in which Mr.. Broad
man Hall sued tailor for the recovery
of the price paid for a suit of custom
made clothes, which the plaintiff averred
did not fit him. Mr.. Hall, on ordering
the clothes, left deposit with the tailor.
In due time Mr.. Hall received the gar
ments, which he found did not fit. Ac-
cordingly he returned them to the tailor,
asking that his money be refunded.
This the defendant refused to do, and
offered to alter the clothes so that they
would fit, or else make the plaintiff a
new suit. But the plaintiff would not
accept the offer, saying that che had no
more time to be experimental on"
Counsel for the plaintiff claimed that
when the latter left the order for the
clothes it was with the understanding
that they were to prove satisfactory, and
that the defendant had received his part
of the bargain, while the plaintiff had
got no return.
The judge, who seems to be a second
Solomon, said he thought that when
tailor made any article of clothing for
person it was generally understood that
it was to be good fit. The tailor could
have had the customer try on the cloth.
ing as many times as he chose in order
to have it right, but as soon as the cloth
ing was completed the contract was at
an end. In view of this fact he said he
would have to decide in favor of the
plaintiff for a recovery in full of the
money paid the defendant on the clothes.
A similar decision here might prove
ruinous to the sartorial fraternity, but
would be highly satisfactory to the wear
ers of the eccentric garments which some
of them place on their unfortunate GUS
toners. The precedent cited will fill
with terror the men of shears and needle.

They Surprise The Fnglishmen by the Rap
idity Of Their Work.
Opposite to this house is boarding
thirteen feet high by over one hundred
feet long, and in few minutes was to
see feat in bill posting such as seems
hardly credible, now that l sit calmly
down to write of it. A wagon having
driven up, five men got out of it; one I
recognized as Mart Ready, Barnnm's
boss poster, two were Americans in their
neat duck overalls, and two were Eng
lish bill stickers whose appearance I
would rather not describe. In two min
utes after their arrival the duck over
allied men had out their tin cans full of
paste and their eight foot long poles with
brushes at the end, and were hard at it
covering the boarding with paste from
top to bottom, from end to end. The
Englishmen stood by with something
like sneers on their faces, as who should
say: "Well, there amt much in that;
we can cover a boarding with paste,
too." Another minute passed and Ready
began handing out some carefully folded
posters. The Englishmen'sf faces relaxed
little, as who should say: "What are
they goin' to do now?" and they began
to whisper together.
The two Americans seized one of the
folded posters, gave it a shake, ran the
brush end Of the long poles under 1t,
raised it, gave a sweep and another
sweep, and there on the boarding was
sixteen sheet poster, containing a fac
simile of an open letter from p. T. Bar
mum, headed "My Greatest Venture"
Then followed twelve sheet poster
portrait of Barnum, a forty eight sheet
depicting the show tents as they travel
in America, a twenty-four sheet picture
of Jumbo, forty-eight sheet representa-
tion Of the gallery of human freaks of
nature, a thirty-six sheet portrait of the
fair Indian snake charmer from the
Bowery, New York, forty-eight sheet
picture of the menagerie, a thirty six
sheet portrait Of the Mexican rider, a
forty-eight sheet representation of the
elephants performing, twenty-four
sheet picture of the clowns and a twenty
four sheet portrait of Miss Clara O OBrien,
the Roman knife thrower. Is sssg.
All along the tops and the bottoms of
the pictures "streamersp were pasted.
The most remarkable fact, however, was
that every one Of these huge posters was
slung up into position whole--they had
been pasted together before starting.
The 100 by 13 feet was covered in exactly
fourteen minutes and thirty seconds!
Therel That is something like bill stick
ing. You ought to have seen the faces
Of those Englishmen. They were study
for Dickens. OF course crowd gath

quaint remarks from the drivers aud

AFTER A LONG SEARCH.
me Romantic Story % Little Southern
GiTi Who Was kidnapped.


Girl Who Was kidnapped.
About five years ago Mr.. James j.
Arnold, a son Of old Parson Arnold, well
known in Shelby and adjoining counties
Of Alabama, while visiting his step
mother, Mrs. Nancy Arnold, of Calera,
Shelby county, had 4-year-old daugh-
ter, Mahala j., stolen from him. Mr..
Arnold learned that his child had been
seen with a woman who called herself
Sarah j. Colbert, and who had undoubt-
edly taken the girl away. Inquiry at
the railroad Office at Calera revealed no
hint as to the direction gone or the OBJ
jective point Of the child stealer. The
child's mother had died when the former
was an infant, but there was small
brother and sister still living, home COM
panions at the time of the abduction Of
the girl.
A search for the stolen daughter
proved fruitless, and five years had
elapsed. In the meantime the father
had moved to Mississippi and returned
again to Tuscaloosa county, where he
lived when his daughter was stolen, and
where he has resided for the last two
years, since his return from Mississippi.
In 1887 John G. Arnold, who had as
sisted his brother in the search for the
lost child, received postal card, dated
Jan. Ia, from Key, Ala, and signed ~.
NJ. Bridges" informing him "the par
ties" he had inquired about got their
mail at that Office. From this clew only
the brother continued his search by in
quiries and correspondence in the effort
to discover the whereabouts of his lost
niece.
Nearly three more years were thus
spent in trying to unravel the mystery Of
the stolen child, when at last what ap-
peared to be a fruitless effort was re-
warded by a substantial clew to the
girls probable whereabouts. The father
recently set out from his home, nearly
twenty miles south of Tuscaloosa city,
to trace up the information he had OBJ
tanned. On reaching st. Clair he fol-
lowed the windings of the Coosa via
Greensport and Hoke's Bluff, entering
Cherokee-the county he set out for. He
had learned that little waif girl had
been left with a McAlva in Cherokee,
about fifteen to eighteen miles above
Coloma. A description of the child con-
vinced Mr.. Arnold that she was his lost
daughter. On reaching McAlva's his
convictions were confirmed as soon as
his eyes looked upon her features.
McAlva said the girl had been left at
his house by woman calling herself
Sal Wheeler, who was found to go also
by the alias Sal Colbert, and ~vho after
ward came back after the child, he re-
fusing to give her up, but let her have
the latter's clothes, which she demanded.
The girl had been called Emma by the
woman who stole her, but retained the
memory of her real name. Mahala is
now about 9 years old, and of pleasant
features, bright and intelligent face, and
by no means Of an unprepossessing ap-
pearance. .--Ashville Egis. .

Our Postal Intarest.

Very few realize the extent of the
postal business of the United States.
The annual sale of stamps reaches nearly
1900, 900, 900, and of postal cards 1885,
100000. The postmaster general, in his
annual report, comedies that one cent
postage must come, but says it would be
inopportune to attempt it at present, as
it would reduce the annual revenue from
letter postage by probably SIS, ,0O0, 900.
He advises that the postoffice depart
ment first be put on a self sustaining
basis by accelerating and extending its
facilities in all directions, so as to in
crease its revenue. The nearest approach
to one cent postage will be in the shape
of larger postal card, to be called let
ter postal card, with abundant room
upon it 20 write an ordinary letter.

Dutch Treat" Theatre Parties,

The theatre party, which for some rea-
son fell into sort of semi-decline toward
the end of last winter, is being revived,
and the excellence of the present attrac-
tons at the theatres is perhaps response
BILE for its resuscitation. Parties of six,
eight, ten and dozen have been fire.
quent during the week and have doubt
less been welcomed by the managers,
who are thankful, of course, for the add
ed brilliance lent to their audiences
thereby. The latter day theatre party
and the one the most popular, so far as
can see, is a very matter of fact affair.
The burdensome practice-burdensome
in a double sense-of loading down
the ladies with cumbersome hand
bouquets has gone out, something
for which the young men are no
doubt properly thankful, and it is no
longer the correct thing, understand,
for the party to monopolize the attention
of the audience, to the exclusion of the
people on the stage, by loud conversa-
tion on commonplace subjects during
the performance. The dutch" theatre
party is growing in popularity. It Sc
cures its name from the principle of
Dutch treat" on which it is organized.
Each gentleman purchases his own ticket
and that of the lady it is his privilege to
escort, and the inevitable supper after
the performance is conducted on the
same line. The privilege of paying for
the chaperon's ticket and supper is usually
decided by casting lots, and it goes with
out saying that the winner of that lux
ury is keenly envied by his competitors.

Mustard oil has of late been given some
attention as a lubricant, and it is re-
ported to have been successfully used for
some time in Germany for lubricating
purposes. 1t is said not to be suscepti-
BILE to cold, and, besides, does not easily
become rancid or form fatty acids which
would attack metal. Its lubricating
value, moreover, according to Professor
G. Herman, of Aix-la- Chapelle, is Of a
relatively high order. No particulars

The Tariff Not the Question.

We wish the farmers of this State to
understand that the tariff is not an is
sue in this campaign. The tariff has
very little to do with the prosperity of
the farmers of this State. Our foreign
trade is about three per cent of our
domestic trade, and its relation to our
interests in comparison to the questions
of money land and transportation is
about in the same proportion. The
great question before the people of Ne
braska is whether moneyed and railroad
corporations shall rule this State, or
whether the people shall rule. The
election Of either Richards or Boyd will
be victory for the money power. The
election of Powers alone will be q vic
tory for the people. And we are happy
20 add that every indication is that
Powers will be elected. Lincoln (Neb }
