RICH IN HISTORIC MEMORIES.

Vestiges of the Occupation by the
Romano.
No city in all broad England. with
the single exception of its majestic cap
ital. is so rich in historic memories as
Bath, the Queen of the West" Few
If any have a more striking nobility of
aspect, or are more favored in their
surroundings. The great English man
Of letters who compared ii with his
beloved Florence did no more than
justice to the beauty of its situation
among it's embosoming hills; and he
might have added in praise of its eli
mate as a winter home that its protect
ing heights of Lansdown and Bath
wick give passage to none Of those Icy
blasts which sweep at times over the
Tuscan city from the ''wind-grieyed
Apennines" Its architecture, II not so
light and graceful as that of the South,
has a solid and stately character of its
own; and the Arno itself flows not
more sweetly than the Avon through
it's peaceful pastures to the Severn
Sea. And, thanks, no doubt. to the at
traction Of its healing waters rather
than to its charm Of site or antiquity of
history. It has drawn to it more Of hu-
man greatness and genius than any
city Of ancient or modern times. To re-
cite the names Of those who have paid,
some of them passing visit to Bath,
but more Of whom have made 1t their
temporary abode, is almost to call the
roll Of Englishmen famous In arts and
arms. renowned for learning and wis
dom, eminent in piety and good works
for generations past. Statesmen such
a. Pitt and Chatham. Burke and Sheri-
dan; poets such as Byron and WORDS
worth. Cowper. and Crabbe. and Gold
smith; novelists such as Fielding and
Scott and Dickens, and that inimitable
artist in literary miniature who drew
her Inspirations and her models from
the very heart and life of the city, Jane
Austen; Gainsborough and Lawrence
among painters; Wilbcrforce and AL
len. the friend Of Pope. among philan-
thropists; Parr and Porson among
scholars; Nelson and Wolfe and Napier
among naval and military heroes; John
son and Gibson, and Southey and Ian
dor among men Of letters-this surely is
a visitors list and directory Of
residents"-fOr the homes Of those who
dwelt there can be pointed out in most
cases to this day-of which any city
might be proud. Yet 1t is far from
being a complete enumeration of the
famous men whom Bath has attracted,
and in almost every instance enrolled
among the train Of her lifelong lovers.

Buried Treasures.

Buried Trsasures.
In almost any rural settlement along
the coast Of New Jersey or Long Island.
some old resident would probably point
out to us the blacksned and weather
beaten ribs Of the great ship that had
been wrecked on the sand-bar of the
coast during a terrible storm long ago;
he would show us where the bathing
was pleasant and safe; he would tell
us the best place for fishing, and per-
haps show US the high bluff q little
back from the beach, from which the
Indian maiden leaped TO escape the
tomahawk Of her enemy, and then he
would be almost sure to tell us of the
secluded spot where 1t was said Cap
tain Kidd and his pirates once buried
a lot of treasure.
If we should ask why his treasure
had not been dug up, he would probably
say that If anybody did find 1t, they
never said anything about it; and 1t
ever put any gold or silver, or precious
stones, under the ground on that part
of the coast, these treasures were all
there yet.
Many extensive excavations have
been made along the coasts Of our
Northern States; and even in quiet
woods lying miles from the sea, to
which 1t would have been necessary
for the pirates to carry their goods In
wagons, people have dug and hoped
and have gone away sadly to attend to
more sensible business. Far up some
of our rivers-where q pirate vessel
never floated-people have dug with the
same hopeful anxiety, and have stnpped

French peasants often make up a very
smoky fire in the belief that safety
from lightning will result. This prac-
tice has generally been set down as
mere superstition, but there Is an un-
derlying reason based on scientific
principles. This Is that the smoke acts
as a conductor and dissipates the cleo
tric charge of the clouds slowly and
safely. 1t is pointed out in substantial
