WESTMINSTER, MD., April 10, l89O.-Mr.
Jos. B. Boyle-Dear Sir: For many years
have suffered intensely, on taking cold, from
a very troublesome cough, for which have
used a number of various remedies, and OBJ

try your Pectoral Syrup, which not only gave
almost instant relief, but permanent cure.
1t gives me great pleasure to say that believe
it to be the best remedy l ever used for the
purpose for which it is recommended. Hoping
that any person afflicted as | was may be
fortunate enough to give it trial, am, truly
yours, EDWARD LYNCH.

smelt 1t, and finally threw it away. NJ
1zaro attempts to teach him to speak al
ways had the effect of throwing him into
4 violent passion, in which state he would
tear up his clothes and everything else
upon which he could lay hands, becoming
altogether unmanageable. NJ lizard, how
ever, mad observed that whenever the boy
looked down from a hight he became at
once frightened and submissive, and so
on one occasion, when he had run
amuck, the superintendent seized him,
held him out of a window on the third
stofy and made out that he would throw
him down.
Cruel as this proceeding appears, it had
the desired effect, and from that day the
boy became quiet, neither did he ever af-
forwards attempt to tear up his clothes
BY degrees he was persuaded to put on
clothes, but the attempt to teach him the
alphabet on the deaf and dumb system
proved as fruitless as his essays at speech
For some time M. lizard persevered with
this strange pupil. but with no result; and
although he was treated with all human
ity, the attempt to civilize this unfortu-
nate wild child ended in his death. AS to
the case of Peter the Wild Boy, which be-
came the chief topic of conversation in
most drawing during the year 1726
1t is questionable whether he has really
any right to take his stand among wild
children. This child had evidently been
abandoned by his parents, but that he had
known civilization can be gathered from
the fact that when captured he was wear
ing shirt collar, and seemed rather pleas
ed than otherwise to meet with his cap
tors. George /, whose parsimony was no.
torious, actually allowed him a pension
of f35 year on his being sent to England
and he was placed In a farm house near
North Church, In Herts. Whether Peter
would had he lived have ever learned
to speak is doubtful, for in all probability
he was an idiot. Death, however claim
ed him in 1877, his life, says a contem-
porary biographer, being a melancholy
spectacle of savage idiotism and uncivl-
lized nature.

THAT COCos ISLAND TREASURE.
A British Warship Said to Have Dis
covered the Hiding Place.
From the New York Sun.

From the New YORK sun.
Victoria, b. c., Nov. S.-The British
flagship Imperieuse has returned from
Cocos Island, in the Pacific Ocean, about
500 miles west of Panama. 1t went to that
island for the purpose of searching for
the treasure, supposed to be worth about
$50, 100000, which has long been reported
to have been buried there in the early
part of this century and the hiding place
of which, a man named Hartford declares
he discovered about two years ago.
The officers of the flagship say that
Harford's stories are no dream, and that
the treasure actually exists. Their belief in
the story Is showh by the fact that they
have left a guard of marines on the island
under the command of a lieutenant, and
one of the smaller vessels of the squadron
will return Immediately to the island. One
story afoat here is that the I'M
perieuse has on board about S15,000,000 In
gold and jewelry, and that the vessel
which is about to start for Cocos Island
will bring back the balance Of the treas
ure, which consists of silver Harris and
Hartford have returned to this port on the
Imperieuse.
This treasure was taken to Cocos Island
from the Pacific coast Of South America
during the troublous day of the revolution
ary wars in the second decade of this
century, when the Spanish colonies won
their independence from the mother
country. Many Of the wealthy persons in
the towns, knowing that they would be
stripped of all their possessions II the
Spanish soldiers came among them, placed
most of their gold, silver, and Jewelry in
the hands Of agents, who transported the
entire property to the uninhabiied Cocos
Island, where it was buried. Only one or
two maps showing the place Of conceal
ment of the treasure were prepared.
Many of the persons to whome the treas
ure belonged were killed or died during
the wars, including the agents who buried
1t on the lonely Cocos rock, and it has
never been recovered.
Some years ago a chart purporting to
show were the treasure was hidden came
into the possession of a woman in Maine,
and the result was that she got some
money together, hired a schooner on the
Pacific coast, and with a small party went
TO the Island about a year ago. One of
the men in her party was Harris, who is
referred to above as having just arrived
on the Imperieuse. When they reached the
island they found Hartford there all alone
and nearly dead of his privations. He, too,
had gone there to search for the treasure,
having induced a vessel to land him on
the desolate coast, nearly a year earlier.
His supplies had become exhausted, and
he would soon have died If succor had
not reached him.
He told the party that he had found the
treasure; that it's enormous value fully
justified the reports concerning it; that
that the map they had was entirely mis-
leading; that he alone possessed the clue

that had enabled him to find the wealth,
and that the party might ransack the
island till thay became gray and they
would never find the treasure without his
assistance.
The party did not believe that Hartford
could keep a monopoly of the secret, and
so they made a careful search of the island
while he complacently fed at their board
looked on, and said nothing Finally the
party gave up the search and tried to
come to terms with Hartford. He wanted
a good deal more than half of the treasure
fog his share. Nobody was willing to give
him nearly as much as he demanded. and
after days OF talk they were as far from
an agreement as when they started. So the
party sailed back to Victoria, taking
Hartford with them. He at once set about
securing the service of a vessel 10 take
him back to Cocos Island, but finally
started on the flagship Imperieuse TO look
after his own interests, while Harris was
the representative of the interests Of the
party of treasure seekers from Maine.
