, AN OLD INVITATION
TO Il Ball Held in KOSciuSkO in
1861.

Recently in rummaglng around
among old papers hunting up his
tory of Attalas soldiers in the civil
war, we came across an ancient
looking ball invitation. 1t was
printed on fanciful white paper
which has now turned yellow. 1t
read as follows:
Your company is respectfully request.

The ball was given to the famous
kosciusko Minute Men on the 10th
of April, 1861, a little less than a
month before their departure for
the seat Of war, from which so
many of them never returned. 1t
was held in what was then the
Campbell tavern, now occupied by
Mrs. Lindsey as a residence. The
great majority of the gallant sold
lers who participated in that'scene
OF gaiety have since crossed to the
great beyond.

A FEW members of the Arizona
press association met in Prescott
the other day and passed a resolu.
tion endorsing the acts and admin
istration of Governor Hughes.
There was not quorum of bone
fide members present and the reso
luton is a sort of snapjudgment on
those of the association who could
not attend. Besides passing these
resolutions, there were elected to
membership, some men who are
wholly ineligible. Two of these
new men are pressmen and never
wrote line for a newspaper in
their lives. We know Arizona has
a lot of unusually Intelligent devils

under the rules of the Arizona

Got Back His Fortress Just Before the
Secret Holder Died.
When up-country last year I heard
that Chowringhee Lall, manager to
Lalln Muttra Pershuud. was in Gwali-
or ON some temporary business, and l
called on him, as an old friend, ut u
place in the Lushkar where he was re-
siding.
We discussed the action Of govern
ment in closing the mints, and ! asked
his opinion about the possibility of II
gold standard for India, and mem
toned the fact that certain members OF
the Currency association considered the
fifty million pounds Of gold would be
sufficient to provide India with n gold
currency.
The Lalla laughed the idea to scorn,
and assured me that fifty million
pound, would not suffice to replace the
silver boards Of even one state.
"Sou know he said, ''how anxious
the late Mahnrajah Scindia was 20 get
back the fortress of Gwalior, but very
few know the real cause prompting
him. That was n concealed hoard of
sixty crorcs isixty million pounds) of
rupees in certain vaults within the
fortress, over which British sentinels
had been waliting for about thirty
years, never suspecting the wealth
concealed beneath their feet
Long before the British government
gave back the fortress, every one who
knew the entrance into the concealed
hoard was dead, except one man who
was extremely old, and although in
good health he might have died any
day.
IF that bad happened, the treasure
might have been lost to the owner for
ever and to the world for ages, because
there was only one entrance to the
hoard, which was most cunuingly con-
cealcd, and, except that entrance,
every other part was surrounded by
solid rock.
5 the maharajah was in such n
fix that he must either get back his
fortress or divulge the secret to the
government and run the risk of losing
the treasure forever.
"Whcn the fortress was given back to
the maharajah, and before the British
troops had left Gwalior territory,
masons were brought from Bcnares
sworn to secrecy in the temple OF the
Holy Cow before leaving; and when
they reached the Gwalior railway sta
ton they were put into carriages,
blindfoldcd, and driven to the place
where they had to work.
There they were kept till they had
opened out the entrance into the sc.
crct vault; and when the concealed
hoard had been verified, and the hole
built up again, they were once more
blindfoldcd, put into carriages. and
taken back to the railway station and
rebooked for Benarcs under n proper
escort."-Chambcrs' Journal.
