INTERESTING DISCOVERY.

A Boat Sunk by Bill Anderson in 1854
Found in a Sand Bar.
RoCHEPoRT, Mo, Nov. 30.-While
Capt. Tim Lynch, with force of work
men, was engaged in blasting away
heavy ledge of stone at the western en-
trance of the Rocheport tunnel, on the
Missouri, Kansas 6 Eastern railroad,
he unearthed an old relic of the war.
A heavy charge of dynamite was fred
and tons of rock went skyward- A
huge wedge-shaped block of flint lime
stone. weighing a ton or more, landed
upon sand bank and disappeared, leav-
ing hole fully the size of a hogshead.
Planks were placed upon the Preacher
Gus ground, and Capt Lynch walked
out, put a ladder into the hole and de-
scended q few feet, returning quickly
with the information that boat hull
was just beneath the sand and that the
stone had broken through its we'll rot
ted timb ers-
He set crew of men at work in SHOW
cling back the sand and exposed to
view portion Of the old vessel. The
boat was lying upon its side, and many
articles have been found in its hull
which identify it as the steamer Bufiog-
ton, government supply boat sunken
in 1864 by Bill Anderson and his gang.
Since the vessel was sunk the river has
changed its channel and planted under
the sand this old relic of the rebellion.
Thomas Waterman was captain of the
fated boat and was killed by Anderson's
men at that time. Gen. Rosecrans was
at that time in comm and of the federal
forces in this state, and imposed an as
sessment of $4,000 upon the southern
sympathizers of Missouri township for
the benefit of the mother and sisters of
Capt Waterman, who were dependent
upon him for support. The amount
was afterward reduced to $1,000.
The work of more extensive investi-
CATION in to the old boat hull is still go
ing on. Up to the present time five
barrels of whisky, eleven old rusty gun
barrels, twenty-three revolvers and a
skeleton are the most conspicuous fiuds.
There are numerous heaps of mold,
supposed to be the product of flour and
clothing, and several knives, forks,
spoons and plates have been found As
about half of the hull is below the
present low water level it will require
much pumping in order to enable the
explorers to recover everything within
it. High hopes are entertained of find
ing considerable gold and silver coin.

At o'clock this morning fifteen coll

the corner at the second block and
crossing the street they went block
further south and halted before the
brick dwelling house where the sheriff
of Brown county lives with the county

a RARE DOCUMENT.

The Story of the Ancient Map Display d
at the Colonial Exhibition.
Mr.. Richard Davey, in his article on
the boyhood and youth of Columbus,
tells the story of how he obtained from
the pope the quantity curious ancient
map of the West Indies, which attracted
so much attention in the West In
dian section of the colonial exhibit
ton. At the request of the British
commissioner, Sir Augustus Adderly,
he went to Rome with the mission of
bringing back to England some rare
document connected with the early his
tory of the colonies which were dis
covered by Columbus four centuries
ago.
The task was a rather difficult one,
for the papal court is VIGOROUSLY chary
of parting even temporarily with its
literary treasures, but being furnished
with letter from Cardinal Manning to
Cardinal Simeoni, late president of the
Sacred congregation of the propaganda,
Mr.. Davey was fortunate enough to &C
complish what he calls "a triumph of
diplomacy in a small way" Eventually
he was permitted, by the kindness Of
Pope Leo Kill, to convey to London
the prec ious plan of the world known
as 1.-THE Second Borgian Map"
Other documents We're examined con-
nected with the early discoveries of the
New World, but Cardinal Simeoni
shrewdly considered that a map full of
quaint designs of curious ships and
strange figures of men and fabulously
hideous birds and beasts would prove
more attractive to the frequenters of
the West Indian section than a collec-
ton of old parchments covered with the
Grabbed penmanship of the fifteenth
century, however valuable these latter
might be to students.-Chicag Tr'Nune.
