With considerable amount of gold and
several hundred barrels Of whisky on
board. The Arabia went down in 1854
below ParkVille. She was fine side
wheel boat and her loss was a considera-
Die one. Efforts were made TO save her
cargo, but it was practically a complete
loss. There have been a nam Der OF search
ing. parties who We're filled with tho idea
OF locating and digging up the treasure,
put, so lar as known, they have never
had any trace of it. As in the case of the
Government boat, there is a story that
some OF the plunder was recovered but
IN THIS case 1t was of the whisky instead
OF the gold. The place where the Arabia
went down IS now solid ground, grown
over with timber ard grass. some Of tile
timber being two and three feet through.
That is, this is the condition of the place
pointed out as the Arabia's grave, though
there is no such thing as chart to show
II couclusively.
A couple OF years after tho Arabia went
down the Ogden found a resting place on
the bottom nj point a few miles above
Jefferson City. The Ogden had on board
a large amount of gold and a considerable
cargo of goOu old whisky. 1t was like
wise found impossible to recover any Of
the cargo, and in the natural run Of
things searching parties have found it
impossible to reach il. The location at
which the Ogden went bown is now said
TO be sand bar, which would be very
easily worked at low water. For this
reason the Ogden is said TO be the most
promising of all the old wrecks for
searchers after wealth carried down by
the treacherous Missouri. There is un-
derstood TO be very fair working capital
available for anybody who can suggest
any feasible plan OF operations. Another
two years went by and then the Twilight,
slue-Wheeler, went down. The Twi-
light found bottom near Si0ley. above
Fishing River. She had on board cargo
OF between 200 and 300 barrels OF whisky,
bound for the mountains The point at
which she went down is somewhere like
mile inland now and is very inviting
field for exploration. A number of com
panies have been organized 10 prospect
for the buried whisky, but the attempts
made to locate il have all been futile.
Captain George Keith of the steamer Ma
son, running between st. Louis and Kan
sas City, has been at the head OF a couple
OF companies and has not yet given up
the idea Of locating it. Another attempt
will probably he made this coming sum
mer. Those 800 barrels OF good old bour-
bon would pay a big dividend on any
reasonable capital employed in drilling
and eXcavatlng.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MISSOURI.
Millions of Dollars and DistiIleries of
Whisky Lost IN River Wrecks.

w nlSkY Lost III River Wrecks.
The fact that party of Texas people re-
Gently located and dug into wrecked
steamer, reaping rich harvest OF gold
and old whisky, has caused a revival of
talk of some old Missonri River wrecks.
| There's millions in the bottom of the
Missouri, or some where near it, accord
ing to the Globe Democrat. but the
trouble is to find it. Some of it may be
found some time, but that some time is
very apt TO be when present generations
have passed away and the wrecks and
contents of the steamers exist only in ira
dition. Exploring companies have been
formed IN the past, number of them,
but they all have been without reward
none OF them ever having found trace OF
the prizes sought. Other companies are
now talked OF, and a numb of St. Lou
isans stand ready to gamble stake with
any one WHO takes the lead in organizing.
The whisky buried in the sand and bars.
If it is ever recovered, will produce Pc
riod of the rarest intoxicatlou to the Ia
blespoonful. There could be no better
process of curing it than 10y burying it in
the damp sand of the river bed or bars
Then, too. the whisky of those days was
real whisky, and had age and body at the
time it was lost, and if il was on sale now
IL wouldn't be at twenty cents or twenty
five cents a drink, either. The chances
would be, rather, that 1t would go into
private cellars, TO be handed out only on
rare occasions.
The oldest wreck of which there is now
any knowledge, and it is as nearly tradi-
tional as anything could be, is Of a Span
ish boat that was sunk at the mouth of
the River Des Peres in South st. Louis
The year in which 1t went down, the
character of the boat, the nature of the
cargo, all is tradition. But it is said
among the oldest Of old river men that q
boat did go down there "in the early
years." and that it was laden wish rich
Spanish goods aud arms and gold of i'm
mense value. The exact spot at which
she sank is not known. "In the early
years" also, il is said, that efforts were
made to locate the wreck, but without
success. 1t is slso said, by the way, that
the Spanish vessel had on board goodly
stock of liquors.
The oldest wreck of which there is any
record or knowledge, with people now
living, is that OF a Government steamer
which sank in the early '30s at Arrow
Rock Island, near Bonneville. 1t was on
its way up the river to pay off the
soldiers, and had on board large amount
of gold and a considerable quantity of
whisky. When it went down il was TO
stay. Efforts were made at the time to re-
cover portion of the cargo, but the con-
dltlon of the river was such that this was
impossible. 1t has been a fascinating
hidden treasure for the people of Boone
vile, and dozens of companies have been
organized TO search for it. SO far as
known, however, none of them has ever
succeeded in getting any trace of it.
The Arabia is still another steamer
which went down and was broken ND,

Immense Cannon Balls.

which threw stone shot of $40 pounds

these are our Seton guns, throwinga a |, 700
pound projectile, our I00-ton, throwing
one of 1000 pounds, and 11O-ton, throw

locity. The stone shot of Mohammed,s
guns varied between 20 and 81 inches in
diameter, about the same hight as a din

this occasion, weighing, according to a
calculation of General Lefroy's, about
LOGO tons, and were cut out of the solid
rock on the spot Assuming q inches as
the average diameter of the shot fired at
this siege, the total area of the surface
dressed was nearly 81, 900 square feet. AL
this siege the weight of the powder fired
is estimated by General LEROY to have
been 250 tons. At the siege of Rhodes, in
1880, Mohammed caused sixteen basiIisks,

THE END.

The course of the weariest river
Ends in the great gray sea;
Inc acorn, forever and ever
Strives upward to the tree.
Ihe rainbow, the sky adjoining
SHINES promise through the storm:
The glimmeI of the coming morning
Through midnight gloom would form.
BY time all knots are riVen,
Complex although they be-
And peace will at last be given.
Dear, both to you and me-
Then, though the part NAV be dreary-
Look onward to the goal
Though the heart and head be weary
Let faith inspire the soul;
Seek the right, though the wrong be tempting
Speak the truth at any cost;
vain Is all weak eXempting
When once the gem is lost
Let strong hand and keen eve be ready
n tor plain and ambushed foes:
14ougnI earnest, and fancy steady,
Bear best unto the close.
Inc heavy clouds may be raining,
But with evening comes the light,
Though the dark, low winds complaining,
Yet the sunlight gilds the hight;
AND love has his hidden treasure
FOR the patient and the pure;
And time gives his fullest measure
10 the workers who endure;
AND the word that no law has shaken
: Has the future pledge supplied;
FOR we know that when We awaken"
we shall be satisfied"

"There amt no use Of getting excited, I"
continued the officer; "you don't expect

"Well, you keep on guessin'," replied
the exasperated citizen, "but if you had

THE MEADOW GRASS.

The grass is bending, quIvering in the light
OF a hot July sun, and where the gray
And plumy howerets of the ripening hay
Are thin as sllken threads, up springs the
white
Ox-eye, a butterfly IN hov'ring flight
But where the taller grasses are at play
With buttercups, that like golden spray
Toss In their midst, the lean unhappy hight
OF sorrel towers, a something burnt and red
On which the feet of the quick lightning fell
When Heaven had thrown it from its
thunderbed.
Yet hark The mower rings a sharpening
kneu
Upon his scythe-to-day we flower, we wed,
We learn Tomorrow we sleep well.
