SHOUTING AFFAIR.
One Brother Seriously Wounds Another at Oneonta.

Oneonta, October 5.-(Special.)-A serious difficulty occurred Lere yesterday afternoon Tom Roberts, while going from his resi- shot and very painfully wounded by his brother E. B. Roberts. The shooting was done with a shotgun at range of about twenty yards, four of the buckshot taking effect in the right hip. The wound is not considered dangei ous.
 There has been an i'll feling existing be- tween the two Roberts for some time, but 1t was thought that their differences had been settled until the shot was fired. No words were passed at the time of the shoot ing The wounded man was unarmed, and made an effort to run behind a box-car when he saw the gun pointed at him. E. B. Roberts, the man who did the shooting, in the hands of the sheriff and the mat CT will be looked after by the grand jury which is now in session.
 Circuit court convened yesterday, with Judge J. A. Bilbro presiding. The grand Jury was organized by appointing F. San Gers, of Remlop, as foreman. The judge s charge to the jury was very earnest and forcible.

He came late to recent dinner at

his being a candidate in apprehended

took from his pocket the slippers with
which Mrs. George had insisted on

The Channel Islands,

During the past five years many
American tourists, aroused by the vivid
descriptions Of Victor Hugo, have Wis
tied the famous Channel Islands, Of
which Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney
are the largest These are between
England and France and their inhabit-
ants are an odd mixture of the two No
tionalities. They. are, very conserva-
tive and keep up many Of the customs
of ancient times. Some Of them are
quite pretty and have been reproduced
In England and America by returned
travellers. One is to have the bedrooms
look into the garden and not the street.
When this cannot be done glass par
tition with O door Is built across the
room, and the half by the window Is
made into a conservatory. Another
useful idea Is q little clay-lined iron
braZier, used for broiling meat over 0
charcoal fire. 1t makes no smoke and
can be extinguished quickly. For rapid
and comfortable cooking in summer 1t
is invaluable. The islands are warm
and fertile and are famous for lettuce,
chicory, satisfy, endives, sorrel, cress
are made into mixed salads and also
into omelettes, like the so-called Span
ish omelettes. The latter are tasty and
very wholesome. The islanders excel
in pastry. Fruits are the favorite food.
They are served raw, sliced with the
famous Jersey cream, baked with GUS
tard, stewed with a little wine and
sugar and strangely in pies, good Amer
lean pies! The Guernsey mince pie has
| no meat or suet in its composition. 1t
is made Of apple, pear, peach, plum,
| berries, raisins, grapes, citron, sugar,
butter, spices, wine and brandy, and Is
reported to be exceedingly fascinating.

with hands uplifted. He flung down
his rake with crTse and came and

Napoleon's Lost Treasure.

The recent find of an old military
knapsack filled with French gold
pieces coined about the beginning Of
the century, near Wilma, Russia, recalls
the dreadful fate Of NapOleon's grand
army and It's disastrous Russian cam
paign in 1872 After the destruction
of Moscow, the bold conQueror was
compelled to seek safety, but his re-
turn to the frontier was not the retreat
of an orderly army; 1t was flight with
all its horrors. Napoleon himself hur-
ried back In advance of his army, in
order to steady the throne, which had
become shaky by events In Paris and
elsewhere. The shipping of the war
treasure, which at that time still con-
tained 100000 francs, and which
was transported In barrels in carriages
drawn by picked horses, was intrusted
to Marshal Ney. Napoleon never saw
that treasure again, and where 1t has
remained was kept a profound secret
for q long time. Under strong. cover
the transportation Of the treasure was
started for the frontier, but not far
from Wilma the wagons struck in de-
file, and 1t seemed impossible to get
them out again. Rather than see the
treasure In the hands of the Russians,
Field Marshal Ney gave orders to
break open the barrels and distribute
the money to the returning soldiers as
they passed by, and this was done
Many of the soldiers threw away all
their belongings in order to fill up their
knapsacks with gold, but only few of
those who carried the heavy wealth
were able to drag the burden to the
frontier, and the very gold which was
intended for their benefit was the cause
of their perishing.

We often do not appreciate the worth

farmers who own the large tract of land
in Essex which was in November last
flooded by salt water owing to a break
down of sea wall, may think Of this

sodden ground. The despised worms.
by their constant borrowings, kept the
land we'll drained; but when the sea
flood came they were all killed, and sea

Gathering of Tea and Coffee on the
Two Sides of the World.
Coffee and tea are both Indigenous to
Asia, but coffee thrives also on the op-
posite side of the world, SO that COM
parison of the places whence we obtain
them would yield some curious con-
trasts. In Colombia. South America,
for instance, the coffee crop Is often
gathered by children, who pick hun
dred and fifty quarts day, and get
five cents for their work. In India and
Ceylon, on the other hand, the tea crop
is cultivated by families or coolies "of
both sexes and all ages" employed un-

"The coffee plantations and the tea
gardens are noisy places. In the tea
gardens, however, the discipline Is
rather better than in the coffee planta-

is an overseer, or 'cangany,' as he calls
himself.
