He stated that the placers were all right, but it appears from samples of quartz that he brought back that they have struck something better than placering Spe- cimens which he exhibited to his friends were fairly spreckled with the yellow metal and rough estimate made by an expert place dthe ore as running between SS,00O and sl0,000 in gold.

Mrs. Chazet informs TIE OASIS that she is continually annoyed by vicious and unrulv boys who deface the walls of her building at The corner of Craw. ford street and Terrace avenue, by making on them offensive and vulgar words and rude pictures of more or less vileness. When the lady remons- trates to the boys she is insulted, and, in one instance. where she complained to parent, she was laughed at. Surely this would be good case for atten- tion of the officers, Arrests should be made and the offending urchins brought to look.

Difference of Opinion,

The establishment of an asylum, or
hospital, for drunkards by the state is
being urged in South Carolina, the
home OF the state dispensary scheme.
One set proposes to establish the asy-
lum, or institute, as an annex to the
state insane asylum, conducting it un-
der the same management. Others
urge that the Legislature pass law
making drunkenness crime, and es.
tablish reformatory for drunkards,
where they can be given hard work in
a cotton mill, machine shops and on a
farm.

AARON BURR's OLD MANSION,

In the city. At that time the mansion
stood on what Is now the corner of
Varick and Charleston streets. 1t was
surrounded by park of 100 acres, ex-
tending to the water.
When Burr's wife died twelve years
later, she left one daughter, Theodosia,
who became mistress of the most beau
tiful house in the city. Between the
father and daughter there existed an
unusually strong affection. Theodosia
was beautiful girl, and many tradi-
tions of her wit and charms are still
extant. Among visitors to the mansion
in those days were Alexander Hamil-
ton, Talleyrand, Volney, Jerome Bona
parte and Louise Philippe. Nearly all
distinguished foreigners coming from
Europe were entertained there by
Aaron Burr and his daughter. At this
time Burr's fame was at its height
His home life was happy, and a great
career was open to him.
Theodosla Burr, while still quite
young, married Gov. Allston, of South
Carolina and went to Charleston to live
In 1900 Burr and jefferson received an
equal number OF votes for the Presi-
dency, the House of Representatives
finally deciding in favor of Jefferson,
Burr being made Vice President. This
caused much bitter feeling, the result
OF which was the duel between Burr
and Hamilton, resulting in the latter's
death.
Burr fled from New York, going down
the Mississippi to the Southwest.
There he bought several hundred thou
sand acres Of land, intending to found
an empire and conquer Mexico.
Jefferson had him arrested, brought
to Richmond, Va, and tried. No act OF
treason could be proved, so he was set
at liberty. lie then went to Europe,
trying to carry out his schemes for con-
quering Mexico and founding an em-
pire, all OF which came to nothing. Az
ter a few years in Europe, where he
was scorned by men who had known
him in former times, he returned to
New York, broken In mind and spirit.

He looked forward eagerly to meeting
his daughter again, and she set out by
boat from her home in Charleston.
Disappearance of Theodosia Burr.
The vessel on which she sailed was
never heard of again. 1t has been said
that the boat was wrecked at Nag's
Head Another story is to the effect
that it was boarded by pirates and that
all on board We're forced to walk the
plank. Burr afterward married Nine.
Jumel, but they were soon divorced.
Richmond Hill house passed out of his
hands, and for time was used as a
theater. Seventy-fve years ago the
house was torn down when Richmond
Hill was leveled, and part of the ma
terials were set up again in the house
which stands now on Hudson street.
and is all that is left of what was once
the finest mansion on Staten Island.
pennsylvania has had one President,
James Buchanan, and the house in
which he was born stands neglected
on Fayette street, Mercersburg, Pa. At
present the building is fairly preserved,
but unless steps are taken to maintain
1t, 1t must soon make way for modern
houses.
AS it stands now the house was Bu-
chanan's birthplace and the house in
which he received his schooling. Both
the residence and the school house once
stood at Stony Batter, in Franklin
County, and were removed to MERGERS
burg, the logs from the school house be-
ing used to build an annex to the resi-
dence. This school was kept by the
Rev. James r. Sharon, and was located
in Mercersburg. Many other noted
men besides the future President
gained their first instruction there. Con-
sidering that this school was situated in
a thinly settled section of the State and
was attended only slightly, the scope
and erudite nature of the studies were
little short of marvellous, for Greek.
Latin, French, German. metaphysics
and philosophy were included.
1t was here that Buchanan gained the
foundation Of his remarkable talents as
linguist and profound reasoner. and
which gained him so much praise on
his celebrated tour of the world, when
he was entertained at the courts of
Europe and held his own with the most
brilliant and erudite minds.
The father of President Buchanan.
James Buchanan, for whom he was
named, was a resident of Mercersburg
for thirty years. During his long resi-.
dence he was one of the best-respected
citizens of the town, prosperous mer
chant, and man of affairs, and held
many positions of trust.

A LOVE SONG.

Sweetheart-sweetheart, where'er my
steps are led
Whatever joys / meet,
Still to return unto crust Of bread
With love is SWEETS sweet
The world hath splendors but its glories
go
For naught when that 1 seem
TO drift in memory where the hearthfres
glow
And where my loved ones dream.
Ger all the wreck and ruin of the years
OF lives that drift apart,
The thought Of children's love and chill
dren's tears
Comes thrilling to my heart!
And so, sweetheart, whatever life may
bring
On land or oceans foam,
Still shall those sweet endearing voices
sing
The heart back to it's home!
