NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN PARIS.
Belief That Great Treasures Arc
Hidden Somewhere in the City.

From Chambers Journal.
Some Parisans are actually kept
from wandering by conviction that
there is hidden treasure behind the
walls. or beneath the flooring, or in
the chimney nook, or under the roof
You are told that during the num-
berless sieges to which Paris has been
subjected, and the internal revolutions
it has undergone, there exists not
cellar or a garret but has become the
receptacle of some part of the immense
riches accumulated in religious houses
and old families. There is, perhaps,
nothing irrational in the supposition
that in the good old times when con-
vents were made the depOsitories not
only of the secrets of the aristocracy,
but of the family jewels likewise, in
stances must have occurred wherein
these deposits were buried and remain
undiscovered, together with the treas
ure of the confraternity. But human
folly has of late years exalted this ra-
tional possibility into dazzling certain
ty. Every means is now resorted to,
and more gold and precious time eX-
pended than the most valuable treas
ur5 could repay, In order to seize the
secret which still resists discovery.
While you of the matter of-fac plOd-
ding Anglo-SaXon race are toiling and
broiling In Australia and California
searching for gold, we gOld-seekers of
Paris find it here beneath our feet in
the old quarters of the city round
Notre Dame and the Hotel de Vile,
where gold Is teeming in greater plenty
than amid the rocky bOulders of Cali
fornia or beneath the soil OF Ballarat," +"
said Ducasse, the great treasure seeker,
As If to mock this feverish and never
ceasing chase, not one of the great ira
ditional treasures-of which four are
believed to eXist-has been yet brought
to light although now and then some

token is vouchsafed of their real exist

the tradition of the famous treasure
buried by Napoleon's order. on his hur-
ried departure from the Tuileries before
Waterloo, is justified by the turning
up in all parts of the palace garden of
gold pieces and silver crowns. The
boles of the elm trees down the middle
alley of the garden were all marked
with hieroglyphic signs, which, ceas-
ing at certain points. began again on
the lime trees of the Terrace of the
Feulaus. But the elm tree where
these signs began and the lime tree on
which they have ended have been up
rooted and the soil all about them
turned over without avail. Then, dur
ing the laying out of the Bois de Gou-
logne, great interest was excited by the
fencing off of a portion of the wood
close the Pre- Catelan, and ransacking
of this small spot for a month, under
the superintendence of q government
officer; while crowds waited anXiously
outside the line to see one of the forty
workmen strike upon the golden de-
post confidently believed to have been
buried there by Fouche, Duke of OF
ranto. The hoard is actually calculat-
ed as part of the family wealth.
