Gen. Gresham came down from Vicks-

infantry and cavalry to our relief.
Very much to my surprise, he placed
me in command of the cavalry and
two companies Of mounted infantry.
and we at once assumed the aggres-

who was supposed to be at Fayette,
20 miles away. Our progress was &C.

little opposition to our advance that
was at all serious. On the night of

I made up my mind that we had put

FAMOUS LOST TREASURES
THAT HAVE DISAPPEARED

The Venus de Milo, which has been In
the Louvre for many years. is an Inn
perfect piece of sculpture. though 1t is the
greatest treasure OF it's kind the world
has ever seen. A great reward would
be given the man who could find the
missing parts. About twenty-eight years
ago the most important OF them-the right
arm-came to light In London and was
proved by experts 70 be genuine. The
owner however. refused to part with it
and concealed IL for fear Il would be
stolen. Unfortunately he died without
revealing its hiding place.
A bronze drinking cup which was stolen
from an Egyptian temple in 1879 and
brought 20 Europe, has miraculously dis
appeared. on # is engraved the whole
history of the Pharaohs, and IL could
easily be sold for one hundred thousand
dollars. In fact the French government
offered a reward OF fourteen thousand
dollars for it's discovery but the famous
cup has vanished probably forever
Another treasure which has vanished IN
as strange a way is the Marcella vase OF
the Dresden collection. This Is the only
piece missing from the famous Dresden
Marcella collection, the value OF which
s said TO be seventy-hve thousand dol
lars. IL bears the cross arrows and the
lions head Not long ago the vase was
said 10 be In England, but, be that as II
may, the person who rediscovers this
treasure may command any price In rea-
son for IL.
How IL Is possible that n treasure so
large as painting could be lost sight
or entirely is not easily explained, but
this has often happened. one OF Rey-
nolds' paintings, The Countess Derby"
which is considered his best portrait. has
disappeared Not long after II was paint
ed II disappeared from the collection OF
the Earl OF Derby. and has never been
heard OF since. There are also two Van
dykes and a Rembrandt missing, for
which collectors are willing 10 pay two
hundred thousand dollars.-Chicago Rec
