Writing from Frankfort on-the- Main.
William E. Curtis saws:
Several months ago a lot of historic
cannon were stolen from the park at
West Point and sold TO a junk dealer
in New York Of the name of Heppen-
keimer, who shipped them to his
brother here, and the latter sold them
10 the kaisar's lantern bell foundry near
Worms. Through Consul Mason's vigil
lance and energy the faint clews that
we're furnished him were followed until
the guns were found. but there VIII be
difficulty in recovering them. because
the bell founders purchased them in
good faith for 1000 marks. and there
is no just reason Why they should be
asked to surrender them without REIN
bursement. If cur government wants
them it must buy them back and there
is 70 fund at the disposal of The. consul
ate for such a purpose. The military
authorities at West Point appear to
think thar the consul general ought to
go down and seize the cannon and walk
off with them. but the bell founders do
not look at the matter in that light, and
think they have already treated the
government With great consideration.
Furthermore. they have five bronze
cannon which appear to have been cap
tured by the United states army dur
ing the Mexican war. While the West
Point authorities have claimed only
two. The latter would do we'll to over
haul their reckoning and send on the
necessary funds il they desire TO re
cover these interesting relics.
II the cannon that were stolen from
West Point some months ago can be
recovered by the payment of the sum
for which they were sold to the Junk
dealer or b. him TO the bell founders.
the price should be forthcoming from
some government sourca: it would be
the quickest way to get them. The fact
that the junk dealer bought them in
good faith, if he did. did not transfer
the title to them to him, nor could he
transfer it. If the cannon have not

KLoNpTKE GOLD.

There is some abatement of the Klon-
dixie gold fever bat it is certain to
break out anew next year when it Will
be possible 10 reach the fields in safety
and without great suffering. That
these new fields are rich there is no
doubt in the world; it may be that they
win yet prove to be the richest placer
mines ever known; but as yet they
have not so proved. Much gold has
come from them and many have made
small fortunes. Were the gold that is
coming from the Klondike the result
Of quartz mining there would be little
or no excitement over it, but it is not;
it is the result OF placer mining. the
most fascinating of all. The great
nugget may be picked up at almost any
time. and he who went forth poor in
the morning may return rich in the
evening. The uncertainty and the
chances give a charm TO placer mining
that no other pursuit in the world pos
sesses. It is this which has made such
q great rush to the Klondike. That
i'd IS so far of and the difficulties Of
reaching the country are so great has
no deterrent effect upon those who are
seeking for gold. As in all such cases
those who's have the fever are. perfectly
willing 10 give up a certainty for an
uncertainty. This is part Of human
nature and it viii show itself whenever
there shall be any. occasion for it. An
other thing that prompts the rush to
the KIondike gold fields is the fact that
there is q fair chance TO get a good
claim and there is so much unDros-
pected country. This is not the case
