been described in the columns Of the
European newspapers not only as the
noble land OF liberty. but as the hap
py land of dollars and the unhappy
land of graft. But here in Hungary,
where we have had a speaking &C
quaintance with graft, we have be-

Now, this is no more belief. II

cred on Missouri'S Bank.

explorations in this country and pro-
claim the sovereignty of his king over

Vendrie started on an exploration for
France In the new world, coming into

On leaving France Louis XIV. gave
him a number OF leaden or zinc plates
to be buried at the various points he
visited. These were craven with the
coat of arms of France and bore
Latin inscription.
1t was known that De lie Vendrie
went west as far as the Rocky noun
tains and came back to the Missouri
river at some point not far from the
present site Of this city, but the exact
spot was unknown. At the point where
he reached the Missouri river his jour
nal shows that he went to the top of
a hill and buried one of the plates.
A few years ago Bishop O'Gorman
Of the Catholic church, in an address
here mentioned the fact of the visit
of De lie Vendrie, and said that at
some time the plate he had buried on
the hills along the Missouri river
would be found.
Another plate, according to the
chevalier, was buried on the bluffs
of the Cheyenne river about sixty
miles from the point where he reached
the Missouri river.
