tralian banks To- tho Paris and Amer
lean Bank OF san Francisco. The thir-
- chests were Tailed and stored under

There are many theories cxtant in
san Francisco. One uf them a. that
the gold was stolen by trio of stow
aways who left the steamer az this
port. Il Is known that three stow
aways did leave tn. Alameda while
she was here. This fact has made the
san Francisco police believe that the
sovereigns were landed here. This j.

Kurnel, as his eyes twinkled with salts

right, sah-to give the number of my

and to announce that my nomination
as state senator was equivalent to an

A Lost Opportunity.

81 never recall little incident that
happened to me five or six years ago
in Chicago that don't want to hurt
something or somebody" said the man
with the ford face, as we lighted our
cigars. Being asked to state his case he
continues:
II was standing in front of the Palm
err house when a man came along aud
said he was hard up and oiTel ed to sell
me $500 diamond ring for 500. hung
off, and he put the price down and
down till he finally reached $40. Then
l sort O got scarf O. him and walked
off"
But that is an old trick" laughed
the drummer. you don't imagine tha'
vas a real diamond ring, do you?"
"Of course not"
Then you'd have been Sold"
Not much / wouldn't! When l got
home they were raising $500 to buy a
diamond ring for one of our citizens as
a testimonial, and l could have turned
that in and made S160 as easy as rolling
off log! You bet your boots I'll keep
my eyes open for bargains when l &c

"Egad, sab, but must write that
editor personal letter thanking him
for his courteousness," said Kurnel
Bunker, as | handed him a newspaper
Clipping which spoke highly of him
as a soldier and a politician. "Yes, sab,
an autograph letter will please him in
return, and he will treasure it up among
the archives for his grandchildren to
read"
AS the Kurnel looked around he
found what he was wishing for at his
elbow, and after critically examining
the two straws and making choice of
the longest, he settled himself back and
said:
when l began my political career
the press did not take kindly to me. l
had come back from the wah to make
a place for myself, and the stay-at-
homes resented what they called my
impertinence. The press was con-
trolled by the stay-at-homes, and at
the first mention of my name there was
howl of derision and defiance all along
the line. Egad, sab, but some of 'em

pretender, and kindly adviced to con-
fine my ambition to the mayoralty of a
village. 1t was the freedom of the

press-but they did not know their
man. Kurnel Bunker, who broke the
lines at Chantilly and wanted to turn

of a hero rushing headlong through strug.

The Cucumber VS.. Kurnel Bunker he
might have safely reckoned on an early
call from the man who had two horses
shot under him at Louisiana Courl
House. | found the gentleman in his
sanctum and opened the case by in
viting him to step down stairs across
the street into the state house grounds.
He followed me, sab, and at a proper
moment / turned on him and produced
a cucumber and asked:
"'Sah, will you do Kurnel Bunker
the favor to name this esculent?'
''He replied that it was cucumber.
"'And please name this?' | said, as

He did so, and drawing a second one
l handed him the first and requested
him to wait while l stepped off the
usual ten PAGES. l had come to show
him the difference between cucumbers
and dueling pistols, but was not put
to any great trouble. He came down
handsomely, sah-came down befo' |
had marked six PAGES, and the spirit
with which he entered into the cam
paign made me 200 votes not counted
upon. Egad, sab, but the way that Gu
cumber business dropped out of his
paper raised the price of pickles dol
lar barrel that winter!
"Once mo-, sah-once mo-" huskily
continued the Kurnel, as he gazed long
ingly into the vast emptiness of the
glass at his elbow. "a certain editor

meaning. 1t happened that he was the

which leg had received the kick men

never gone wrong since. What was the

plfase?"
"a mint julep, Kurnel."
"Exactly-exactly. Very good for

about fo'ty times in each issue, and of
