arms up to the elbows in gold let them there remain, as if enjoying the luxury of a bath. At length with deep sigh he exclaimed, as if in soliloquy:

 It became necessary at last that should arouse both master and valet to the expediency of removing the treasure. It was growing late, and it beloved us to make exertion, that we might get everything housed before daylight. It was difficult to say what should be done, and much time was spent in deliberation, so confused were the ideas of all. We finally frightened the box by removing two-thirds of it's contents, when we were enabled, with some trouble, to raise it from the hole. The articles taken out were deposited among the brambles and the dog left to guard them, with strict orders from Jupiter neither upon any pretense to stir from the spot nor to open his mouth until our return.
 We then hurriedly made for home with the chest, reaching the hut in safety, but after excessive toll at 1 o'clock in the morning. Worn out as we were, it was not in human nature to do more imme- diately. We rested until and had sup per, starting for the hills immediately afterward, armed with three stout sacks, which, bygood luck, were upon the prem ises. A little before we arrived at the La 0$ as equally as might be among us, and leaving the holes unified again set out for the hut. at which, for the second time, we deposited our golden burdens just as the first faint streaks of dawn gleamed from over the tree tops in the east. | We were now thoroughly broken down, but the intense excitement of the time denied us repose. After an unquiet slum- Der of some three or four hours duration we arose. as if by preconcert, to make ex- animation of our treasure.
 | The chest had been full to the brin, and we spent the whole day and the greater contents. There had been nothing like order or arrangement. Everything had been heaped in promiscuously. Having assorted all with care, we found ourselves possessed of even vaster wealth than we had at first supposed. In coin there was rather more than $450, ,O00- estimating the value of the pieces as accurately as we could$by the tables of the period.
 There was not 8 particle of silver. All was gold of antique date and of great variety-French, Spanish and German money, with few English guineas, and some counters of which we had never seen specimens before. There were sev- eral very large and heavy coins so worn that we could make nothing of their in scriptions There was no American money. The value of the jewels we found more difficulty in estimating There were diamonds, some of them ex- ceedingly large and fine, no in all and not one of them small; IS rubies of re- markable brilliancy; BIO emeralds, all very beautiful, and 21 sapphires, with an opal. These stones had all been broken from their settings and thrown loose in the chest. The settings them selves, which we picked out from among the other gold, appeared to have been beaten up with hammers, as if to prevent identification.

 Lucien Rodd of Whitehall, N. Y., be- ing by me duly sworn, deposes and says that some years ago he suffered very greatly with insomnia nervous prostration and his body was covered with sores, causing him great pain and annoyance. That his head was so covered with sores that he was hardly able to comb or even brush his hair, so great was the pain if occasioned.
 That he consulted the local physicians without successful result; that he took quantities of medicine with no benefit whatever; that physicians told him his disease was incurable and he had come to the same conclusion himself and had made up his mind to go to hospital and await death.
 That just about this time he learned about Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, which he began to use. That this remedy entirely relieved and cured him, healed and dried mp his sores, enabled him to sleep soundly and com fortably, and restored him to his ordinary vigor and vitality, in short made sound and well man of him so that he was fully able to work at his occupation, and has done so since that time. -.....- That he attributes his recovery to Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem. edy, as it restored him when everybody

Storms and Tornadoes'

we mentioned the storm which Oc-
curred last month, accompanied BY
many tornadoes. as being Of the most
widespread that had ever occurred in
this country. The indications now
are that the storm of last Wednesday
was more widespread. more severe
and more destructive.
There were no breaks in it. but one
could trace it from the Canadian
boundary to the Gulf although in the
neighborhood of New Orleans it never
became worse than breeze. Michi-
gan, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ar
kansas, Alabama, Tennessee, Missis-
sippi and Louisiana report it. and in
nearly all of these States it developed
a umber of tarnadoes. Michigan and
Missouri were the worst sufferers. The
former reports only five deaths, but
Ypsilanti pnts down its loss at 500, :
600. Detroit at $1,000 and the to-
tai forthe State is over 81, 600, 0O0 The
financial loss in Missouri is less, but
the mortality much greater, there be-
ing already 81 deaths from the storm.
Mississippi reports 10 deaths. The
reports from the other States will
bring the total of deaths up to 100, and
the property destroyed to between
$1,000, 900 and $4,000, 900. These are
big figures for a single storm, and
have not often been exceeded in this
country, while it is doubtful if the ex-
tent OF territory covered and the
number of tarnadoes originating from
1t have ever been exceeded.
These storms, however have become
an incident of the American climate.
and as yet no suggestion has been
made of how they can be avoided or
the damage from them lessened -
