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- meath the flooring or in the chimney nook or under the reof, says Chambers Journal.
 You are told that during the number less sieges to which Paris has been sub jected and the internal revolutions = has undergone thero exists net cellar or Q garret out has beeone the recepta- cle of some part of the immense riches accumulated in religious houses and cid families, There is, perhaps, nothing ir- rational in he supposition that in the good old times when conyents were made the Repositories rot 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 is now resorted to and more gold and pre- cious time expended than the most val uable treasure could repay in order to seize the secret which still resists dis covery. "While ycu of the matter of fact, plodding Analo-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 Dueasse, the great treasure seeker.

 Business In Cafe.
 Don't discuss your private business affairs in public place, {" said an old Brooklynite to the New Yorker who ap- preached him in a cafe near the city hall. Then the Brooklyn man, pointing out real estate dealer, said:
 Talking about a business deal in this very cafe cost that nlan s7, GOO. and the money went into my pocket too You see, he represented syndicate that wanted to build on some property in which was interested as the owner of one house and city lot The agent did not know me from Canarsie clammer Well. he came in here with friend one of the syndicate-for luncheon on an afternoon in last July. They took seats at this table I sat at the next one.
 "I began to take notice, as grand mas say, waen heard the strangers at the next table discuss quite loudly a deal in relation to the property adjoin- ing mine. The agent had ordered fine layout for luncheon and was evidently well pleased with his deal. He said to his friend:
 We'll, pulled off the trick for that property at 219 Cheap street today. The owner thought was doing him a favor. l started in at $15, 900 and final ly closed with him for SIS, GOO. He bit in a hurry. Why, the property is worth S25, GOO if it's worth a dollar to us. Now must look for the chap that owns 221. He'll be glad to get SIS, 900 for his house. It's lucky for us they're not on to the fact that we want to boy that entire block.
 T didn't need to do any eaveedrop- ping, you see. That little speech of the agent cost him exactly ST, 000 You can readily guess that I, as the owner of 22I Cheap street, was not especially anxious to sell after that. kept MT.

All the news which is now coming out of the Yukon country is sad ex- cept that describing the amount of gold which will soon be received from Daw- son. The winter was a terrible one, the consequent illness produced great loss of life among the miners, and the mining itself has been overdone. Thousands of men are said to be un- able to locate claims CT to get work. The spring floods caused the Yukon to rise far above it's banks, flowing over Dawson and increasing the misery of the inhabitants. But with the opening of the river, which became an accomplished fact at Dawson as early as May 8, the suffering of the people will be concluded. The gold obtained from the placers is said to be some where between s1o,O0O,OOO and s40,- Oe0, 900, which may be guesses that are accurate or exaggerated estimates from some incomplete data. But it will be as difficult to revive interest in the mines during this war as it is to call the public from battles to ball games.

DON'T WORRY.

Naturally the constant chatter in foreign capitals about intervention in our war is irritating to Americans, but it ought not to be taken too seriously. All statements made with authority are reassuring, and some faith must Moreover, reasonable probabilities are against interference with our rights fairly gained by conquest. The time for military intervention is past, and the war will be fought to its natural end undisturbed. No nation will take up arms for a power which can do so
 little for itself. The only thing we have to take into account is interfer- ence with terms of peace after the war
 is over, attempt to dictate disposition of conquest and to dispute with us pos sessions or control over territories we have won from Spain, like the Inter- ference with Russia and Japan in the flush of their victories. We should be protected from this by our own strength and the divisions and jealous ies of Europe We shall come out of this war not exhausted by our efforts
 but with vigor renewed, spirit height ened and confidence established. The
 war seems likely to be prolonged until we have consolidated firmly all con- quests we care to retain. This we shall owe to the stubbornness of Spain.
 Before she is ready to make peace we shall be so we'll established in the West Indies and the Philippines that
 Europe might as well dispute with us
 about Alaska or Hawaii. Intervention will mean war, and war with the | United States would be fatal to any
 government on the continent but the
 Russian, which would be the last to
 make it. There will be no intervention
 if we do not neglect the opportunities 1 fate has given us. The best guaranty

PEARY'S EXPEDITION.

Lieutenant Peary's expedition is off, and within a month it is expected to be approaching the highest point ever reached by ship west of Greenland. Mares was successful in making eighty two degrees and twenty-five minutes, and the Windward will put into She rard Osborn Fjord at eighty-two de- grees twelve minutes. Of course, it is more or less doubtful whether the ship will be able to find clear route as far as that from the ordinary limits of navigation. Peary himself has never sought to push such distance into the north with a vessel, and his happy anticipations may not be real ized. It is only by good fortune in having open water, and through the most skillful navigation, that shippers can run iE and out of the principal passages leading to the northern re- zion yet undiscovered at the west Of Greenland. This party will net want for a first class ship, however; the Windward being better fitted for ice work than any craft, possibly, except the Tram, and the reputation of it's leader insures that his navigators will do all that they really can to taKe the expedition to it's first dest1nation Yet the impossible is what Peary does not attempt, and he may not essay to strike into the ice, if it should move down as early as it did when Greedy had to stop at Cape Lieber, on August 3, 1881.
