HIDDEN GOLD IN PARIS.
Many Fanatics Spend Their Lives Hunting
 For Buried Treasure.


 Some Parisians are actually kept from wandering by conviction that there is hidden treasure behind the walls or be- heath the flooring or in the chimney nook or under the roof, says Chambers Journal.
 You are told that during the numbe-- less sieges to which Paris has been sub- jected and the internal revolutions :. has undergone there exists not cellar or garrett but has become the recepta- cle of some part of the immense riches accumulated in religious houses and old families. There is, perhaps, nothing ir- rational in jhe supposition that in the good old times when eonvents were made the repositories not only of the secrets of the aristocracy, but of the family jewels likewise, instances must have occurred wherein these deposits were buried and remain undiscovered, together with the treasures of the CO.,. fraternity. But human folly has of late years exalted this rational possibility into dazzling certainty. Every means js now resorted to and more gold and pre- cious time expended than the most val. nable treasure could repay in order to seize the secret which still resists dis eoyery. While you of the matter of fact plodding 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 rock powders of Califor- nia or beneath the soil of Ballarat, " said Ducasse, the great treasure seeker.

STORIES or ANIMALS.
Illustrating the Sense of the EIe-
plant and the Horse.

From the New York Tribune.
From the huge elephant to the tiny ant,
the entire animal kingdom offers stories
and facts which should enlist the sym
pathies and engage the interests of the hui
man being who has, in quaint, old-fashion
ed speech dominion over them
In The whole animal creation there is
not to be found a creature more intelligent,
more easily managed or more likely to be-
come the friend of man than the elephant.
The natives of India, recognizing this,
treat him with generation and respect but
on the other hand, the ferocious BRITISH
ness of the African negroes, melted by the
criminal cupidty of Arab and European
ivory merchants, transforms into savage
beast an animal best suited by nature to
be mans associate.
The question of the day in Belgium is
the protection of African elephants in the
Congo Free State, for at the present rate
of merciless slaughter the race viii become
totally extinct in less than ten years.
A Hindoo hunter was once known to
have become so fond of an elephant that
rather than have his tusks sawed off for
the sake of the ivory he allowed himself
to live In penury
A famous general once said 1.-THE most
piteous thing after a battle is the sight
of wounded horses. The men are cared for,
but the poor horses are left to die in
agony"
The horse enters into the spirit of a
battle like a human being He shows no
fear of death and no sign of panic in all
the wild tumult Of the battles din. A
horse in one of the batteries in the Muir
freesboro fight had his skull split by a
piece of shell so that one side was COM
pletely loosened. The driver turned him
loose, but he walked up to the side of the
gun and watched the firing, following the
shots with his gaze as If to note their eff
feet on the enemy. When he saw the team
he had worked with being driven back for
ammunition he ran to his old place and
galloped back with the rest and when
an officer pushed him aside to have an
other horse put in he gazed at the new
conner with a most sorrowful expression in
his eyes. Then, seeming to realize that
the glory of battle was no more for him,
he walked slowly away, lay down and
died. The officer who owned him declared
that it was not the wound, but a broken
heart that killed him.
Some time ago q firemans horse was
sold to a second hand furniture man, and
one day as he was coming down the street
with load the signal gong rang in the
engine house he just happened to be pass

The animal shot like meteor ahead of

and backed what was left of the wagon

his face broke into a positive grin-which
