PLEASANT JOI IRNAL. VOL l MT. PLEASANT WESTMORELAND CO. PA., TUESDAY EVENING AUGUST 4, 1885. NO 15 BURIED GOLD LOCATED AT LAST BY THE VEILED PROPHETESS. Treadlin' lliilllrn for. Centlirr oil Tli r..11.4■' n Seer.—A Peculiar Al'irf. A newspnpef man on ttie hunt fur items min evening Inst weok "as nailed aside by a colored man who told him (hat ir ho presented himself at his house at, a quarter before t welve o'clock that night he might consider himself a part o' agold hunting expedition. The reader of the mysterious had at last viewed a favorable conjunction of the stars and Pad learned the location ol a valuable treasure which had been secreted near the Braddoek road during the march to old Fort Duquesne. Promptly at the appointed time, the scribe was at the p'aee designated and found four stalwart individuals with their countenances hidden behind masks in accordance with the orders of the veiled prophet who had located the hidden riches. Starting out in the direction of Bridgeport, the treas-ure hunters marched in Indian fileacross Jacobs Creek and struck a trail towards the ridge. At a certain point in the journey, the quintette consulted a chart prepared by the sorceress and it was agreed that the buried gold could not be far away. The directions said that at A CKBTAtM POINT IN IIUMSKIN TOWNSHIP on the night mentioned the visitors might locate a tree trunk scarred by lightning which would be in a direct line between the observer at:d the moon as it shone in the eastern heavens. After having fixed upon the tree, the lovers of wealth were to start from the foot of ttie trunk and take one hundred steps northward, keep-ing the eye lived upon the north star. The starting point was determined by aid of the mystic map and all eyes began searching for the blasted tree. Finally as the flying send passed from die face of t he moon, in tlm broad band of light was seen (lie massive tree stripped of its branches yet still holding it» head proud-ly erect. A hurried rush was made lor the tree. The sky was tilled with clouds and the north star peeped in and out from behind Hie floceulent masses as though aware of the excitement which was now apparent in the movements of the masked hunters. One of the number was detailed to step the distance and with tiis eye on the pole star, he began. Step after step was counted until more than seventy yards had been covered when the walker tripped and fell, losing Ids correct position and theconntofsteps. A SECOND ATTEMPT WAS MADE with a new walking man as it wasevident that the witches guarding the gold had castaspell upon the former pedestrian. Slowly and carefully the distance was measured. When the clouds obscured the guiding star, a halt was ordered and the whole party awaited in breathless silence the re-appearance of the guide. Then the march went on and after several halts, the required distance was measured. The men then measured a square of seven feet around the spot and within these boundaries and seven feet below ground was the object of the search, if the prophecy was true. The picks and shov-els wont industriously to work driven by the hands of the strong men, while the scribe, behind a toby watched the pro-gress of the work. For nearly sn hour not a word was spoken and the only sound heaid the men and earth as they were thrown from the ex-cavation. Two hours passed and three, and the prescribed limits were almost exhausted. The men worked faster and fnRter while the smoke from the toby and the bright"glare at the toby’s end told the tale of the scribe being still at his post. Suddenly there was a clear ringing sound as though steel had come in contact with steel, then a sli nit and a scramble from the pit. One of them had struck an iron obstacle with his pick. The whole five men jumped into the pit and rapid work with the implements soon cleared the earth from A STRONGpY MADE IRON CURST about the size of a modern soap box Hopes were fastened to the handles at each side, and the chest was hoisted to the surface. The diggers danced and embraced each other in the madness of their joy. The rusty fasten-ings were forced by the aid of the pick and the lid flew open revealing in the moonlight the glitter of yellow gold. Doubloons and sovereigns lay mingled in a shining mass upon a tray. The tray was lifted from its place revealing a sec-ond iron lid. While the scribe was ex-amining the gold to see that it was not Reagantown goods, the hunters tried to force the second obstacle. Finally one struck the lid a resounding blow with a pick. There was an explosi in as of an earthquake, the men were blown to pie-ces and when the reporter recovered his consciousness he found himself on the floor. He had fallen out of bed, while dreaming. Ovorconie liy Tlio Ural, At the inspection of the National Guard at Camp Gallagher on Lake Con-neaut on Thursday last, the militia suf-fered greatly from the heat. About thirty-men in the Tenth Regiment suc-cumbed to the torrid rays of the sun; among this number w ore Captain Keenan and live or six men of the Greenstmrg Company. Major James M. Laird ami Captain Keenan have tendered their res-ignations to take etrect immediately. The life of a soldier under the new rnlos governing theHtatesoldiery lias nothing of a picnic character about it although at ttys same time the new regime is great-ly increasing the efficiency of the guard and may therefore be considered a suc-cess. TALK AROUND TOWN. Wild! Ota■- Lounging Mon Hear* While nn Ills Toms. The calm, imperturbable man who swung around the circle from Donelson to Appomattox lies cold in death’s em-brace. Next to Lincoln the name of Ulyssess S. Grant will beenrolled among those who, in the hour of the nation’s peril, with true an 1 patriotic wisdom swept the danger into oblivion, In this day when the people stand beside the coffined remains of the illustrious dead, it is hardly possible to form a tine esti-mate of Grant’s character. We are apt only to see that which was good, ignor-ing the faults. It therefore remains a duty of the future to draw a true like-ness of a truly great man. We tnny stand by the grave and mourn Grant’s departure, for the Union has lost a firm supporter and the Republic one of its saviors. The young Americans can carefully study Grant’s history for he rose from the people by hjs own merits, and his history will show a combination of modesty, grit and patriotism which may well be taken as an example for future generations. THE STARS GET LEFT. was the quick breathing rftkjjs met' d the rattle of stones and tli^-sqf The mourning over the General’s de-mise is as sincere as it is universal. The South has buried the bitterness of years of strife, and recognizes the fact that Grant as a foe was both brave and mag-nanimous. IIis generous allowance of terms ut the time of Lee’s surrender gave evidence that he was not possessed of a malignant spirit, but that when his ends were accomplished his endeavors were for the amelioration of those whom he had overcome. Thu north and south, east and west unite in bewailing the death of an Illustrious man. * * The South Pennsylvania railroad seems to he a dead issue. The struggle of the giants has added millions in money to the coffers of Vanderbilt, while Ids associates have been left to take care of themselves. The daily press seems to he in a state of anxious uncertainty over the condition of the bargain. .Oneday wo are told Jjini the sale is completed, that Vanderbilt holds the power and that the end of the en-terprise is in sbdit’, the nest day these reports are flatly contradicted and the anti-Pennsylvania railroad folks propose making it hot for the man who is alleged to have sold them out. For my part "1 must confess that 1 believe tho South Penn is ended forevermore as far as the present corporation is concerned. Van-lerbilt has secured the opposition line on the west hank of the Hudson rlvo1 and the New York Central is without a rival.

The Htars who were first to the bat retired in one, two, three order, while their oppo-nents got three men across the homo plate in the last half of the first inning, nine of the runs being earned. In the second the Htars were blanked and the Waltons again secured three unearned runs. After this inning the Stars settled down to work and played a fairly good game up until the ending of theseventl^ when they had drawn up within two runs of tying the score which stood !) to 11. The Waltons after whitewashing their visitors in the eight, made five runs, the Stars lending some very valua-ble assistance in the way of wild throws. The Stars failed to score In the ninth and thus ending the game. Steiner was the only one on the home team who played anything like good ball, the balance be-ing off either at the bat or in the field. Milbee and tjueer l;ot|i had very sore hands and can therefore he excused. The Stars were fairly outplayed and accepted their defeat like pid'osophers.

Slmwltitf How “Rhcrmnn** Bushing Yan-kee lto) H" MIIIIUKI-II Fu< lifting Kx|»e«ll-t Ions After the (’a fit lire of Atlanta. Special ('orrespot.donee to the JOURNAL. LIOONIKR. August 1st, 1885. In nnr last writing to the JOURNAL mention was made of a couple of fora-ging expeditions sent out from Atlanta by 1 tenoral Sherman. The first of these went down into the Green river country, forming a “base of operations” at Flat Shoals about eighteen miles southeast of Atlanta. A number of wagons and a strong guard were left at tho Shoals, and then the work of “going for” things generally, was promptly inaugurated. Much of f|ie country was tinder a high state of cultivation aud extremely rich in forage. Hogs, sheep, cattleand poultry of every description were plenty; there was also plenty of horse feed, Hour, corn meal, sweet potatoes, honey etc., and the consequence was that the soldiers fared siiinptouslv every day during the expe-dition. We wpr<* diyifh'fl into squads of from twenty-five up to fifty, owing to the distance wo intended to go out and com-manded hv an officer |'li|t Simula, a town at,out the size of Pleasant Unity, was for Ihe time being, our rende«rons, The entire expedition camped thereat night and did ample justice to what had been captured during the dav. The fact is, we had rather a guy old tune during our stay at Flat 8II"HIH; we fenced in about an acre or probably a li lie more with a high rail fence, and tills enclosure was divided and subdivided for the accom-modation of the different kinds of stock and poultry weeaptured. We remained there four or live days, during which time we got away with THOUSANDS OF IIOI.I.AIIS WORTH OF FORAGE; night was made hideous by the fitful braying of mules, lowing of cattle, squealing of hogs, bleat-ing of sjieep, nnncklqg of ducks, chatter-ing of gepse and crowing of chanticleers. Viewed as a whole, it wa" a lively scene. 11 is proper to slate here that the. farms, especially in middle and Southern Geor-gia are very large, they are all called “plantations” down tfierp, anil many of them are models of Deal ness; there is al-most invariably a large white frame house about the centre, having a superb yard in front and surrounded,some little distance away, however, by small cabins lor the accommodation of tlieirslayes. In making raids tlie soldiers always thor-oughly examined the large farm house first, because they always yielded the most, revenue. There was never any-thing about the nogro huts t|iat amount-ed to much; some cf the soldiers, who had learned the art of stealing at home managed to get away with considerable sums of gold and silver on these raids. After we had "gobbled up,” ns it was termed hy thosoldiers, everything avail-able in the region round about Flat Shoals we returned to Atlanta, loaded down with forage. A couple of weeks later another expedition w«a sent out on the same errand, this tjino, however, we went out about thirty miles before we formed u base, leaving Atlanta at eight o’clock in the mornimr, we did not, reach our destination till midnight. There were several fine musicians in our com-pany, and they were forever singinu nt Bomolh’.ng, S'lnellme after dark we were inuri hing eh ng singing; “The bell (hull toll, ils echoes roll, i know the sound lull well,” when all of a sudden, bang, bang, went two muskets from the bushes on our left,and two bullets wliis-ded over the heads of the column, then the familiar command “halt” was lieafd. and the column belted promptly, then we had orders to load but not cap; wc did both, however, and as the sequel will show, we were right for an hour or so inter, we were passing through a piece of timber at ttie margin of which wgs one of the omnipresent cross roads of the South, and right here a s^uad of REBEL CAVALRY DASHED IJJTO OUR RANKS and commenced firing. Our column divided, some entering tha wot ds on the rigid and some on the left, and the ball opened in level earnest. The cavalry were mounted in the road, the action only lasted about live minutes, but during that time it sounded quite interesting, our impression is that not a single man washiton either side. We reached our “base” about midnight, and operated in the surround-ing country for four days, after wbicli we returned to Atlanta, loaded down as be-fore. But as most of your readers hayp never seen Atlanta we will close this writing with a description of the place. Atlanta is one of the finest cities south of Mason & Dixon’s line. It contains a number of superb public buildings and magnificent private residences. It is the headquarters of the regular, oldfashioqed Southern aristocracy,an<j vet, withal, it pantains much refinement ami hospitali-ty, at that time it contained when all were present, a population of between 40,00(1 and 50,000 souls. The population is now about double that figure, the'eity is admirably located, com partly builtand can boast of the BEST WATER OF ANY CITY IN TIIE UNION. For magnificent parks, blooming parterres and admirable shaded streets, Allan's has few equals and pro-bably no superiors, it is the headquarters of the railroad system of the South, and when the war broke out was the richest city of its size in the South. It waa badly torn up by t(ip war, however, tlio Rebel army inflicting about as much (lpmage as our own. By the time both ar-mies had left Atlanta, very much of the former beauty and glory of the city had departed. The racket Hood kicked up there the night he retreated accomplish-ed wonderful results by way of spoiling the beauty of the city, and besides Sher-mans bombardment of five weeks dura-tion, also did considerable damage, espe-cially tojh) nortfiefn suburbs of die city. That [Motion of the city where Hood burned the arsenal and ammunition trains was about the roughest looking night of I he evacuation, the lies were burned out of the railroad and the raila bent and twisted out of shape hy the heat, while the mighty.concussion of ex-ploding missiles had actually jarredsome ot the adjacent buildings out of position. When we take into consideration the fact that Hood was operating among the homes of his own people, the course he pursued before evacuating Atlanta was both contemptible and cowardly. • ZION.

This case has become a celebrated one. Our readers will rememhei* the interest which centered around it when It was on trial during the May term, and now that It will he tried over, no doubt many peo-ple will look forward with great interest to see what disposition will be mado of it this time.

While Mr. Vanderbilt was dickering with the Pennsylvania Railroad people, Mr. Andrew Carnegie did a little atroke of business for him-self and a few friends which lays in the shade all his previous successful move-ments, shrewd as many of them were. He field the "irlance of power” in the South Penn matter, and was entirely too canny to place himself in Vanderbilt’s power, nnd acted for himself and Ids friends.

A Sutor station correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch says: Our two rival ferrymen are having a lively time by way of adjusting a difficulty existing be-tween them. Eli 0.

Mr. Sutor lias been running tho terry hero for about forty years, being ono of our pioneers. The ferry pays from $4 to$0 n day. A rivalry exists between tho inhabitants of Suter station and Douglass, directly opposite. The parties In question are among our heavy weights financially. Sometime during last winter, when business was somewhat depressed, Mr. Douglass eon-eluded that ho would also run a skiff. He started out from ttie Allegheny sido of the river with a fairy load for ttie op-positeshore, hut before landing wab con-fronted hy Mr. Sutor and a squad of about twenty men armed with clubs, cant-hooks nnd other available arms of defense. Mr. Suter commanded his bri-gade not to allow li is rival to land on his possessions, and himself armed with a revolver ordered the transgressors to re-treat, which they diil in grand order. A prolonged suit was the result. Mr. Sutor prosecuted Mr. Douglass for infringe-ment on his rights which lio had attained hy limitation, and also claims he lias a charter and is entitled to ttie who'e priv-ilege of running and controlling the ferry as per ttie act of IKiiO. Douglass prose-cuted Mr. Suier for riot and carrying eoncealod weapons. The leading attor-neys of Greensburg are employed on the case. The suit is expected to come up next month. A large number ol wit-nesses are stihpceiraed an both sides. Ttie costs of tl|0 unpleasant atl'air will al ready aggregate $soo. The case will go tqhlgherconrts. GRANT’S FUNERAL, A GENERAL PLAN MAPPED OUT THE PROCESSION. FOR the evont may be thorough-1 evening by the sextette enjoyable. | “j‘from "here 'io ' variolm ' polntl "of“the the sum said originally to have been bought by the Pennsylvania Railroad company, $8,500,000. 1 am informed on what I believe to be perfectly reliable authority that Mr. Carnegie exacted from the Pennsylvania railroad people such concessions for the H- ( • Frick Coke Company jq tfio matter of a transporta-tion contract covering a term of five years as will give that corporation id-most as absolute a monopoly as that en-joyed by the Standard Oil Company, nnd enable them to secure control of the entire Connollsvllle coke belt by freezing out the other operators; provided, of course, ttiat. the latter cannot secure equal concessions from the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company, which is not ill all probable. As I am informed, the new contract provides that while the II, C. Frick Company stmtl pay full rate for a(l coke sent over the Pennsylvania rail-road and its leased lines, they are to have a secret rebate which will reduce it to about one half the regain lari si. In other words, Ca^negig figs secured for them ft lontr.yt similar to that given hy the late J. J'klgar Thompson to the Edgar Thompson steel works, namely, jjc per ton per mile for all first-class freights, With such a heavy discrim-ination in their favor, toe Frick Com-pany, it will readily he seen,can distance all competitors and compel them to leave the field. Mr. Andrew Carnegie, it will ho re-membered, on several occasions rendered effective service to the late J. Edgar Thompson and Thomas A. Scott, in placing large loans for them in the Eng-lish market, and it is a very good guess ttiat his present visit to that country is for the purpose of placing the $2,000,000 of three per cent bonds paid hy the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for his and his frienclx’ Interest in the South Pennsylvania. He is said to he meet-ing with encouraging success in his en-deavors, and hopes to realize par or nearly so. noon’s CLAIMS (OH DAMAGES. Tlieve still remains nnsettled two lia-bilities against the South Pennsylvania syndicate, outside ofany sub-contractors’ claims, which may prove troublesome. If J. M. Hood, President of the West-ern Maryland Railroad, can prove that he has spent money in good faitli under the torrnH of Ids contract, his suit may cause trouble. It is said he contracted to build aline of road through the city of Baltimore to the Chesapeake water front, which thus far he has failed to do, owing to opposing influence in the Bal-timore Councils worked by the Balti-more and Ohio railroad. He also obli - gated his company to construct a line oq the northwest to a junotioq vyith the main line of (fie South Pennsylvania railroad. This, it is claimed, lie has done, and this will, therefore, probably form his measure of damages. He can-not maintain consequential or prospec-tive damages from increased business, which he hoped would result from the fulfillment of this contract, His bene-fits, heyond a doubt, would have been great, hut they are unaseertainable in a legal sense.

A Band Said to Be ‘Wrrorazing n Com-munity* A gang of 75 negroes who came up from Virginia a few weeks ago, are en-camped on the Allegheny Mountains near Everett, ami are spreading terror through the community. On Wednes-day evening just, before dark the gang made a descent upon a small tavern kept by a man named John Garvey, at Hie east end of the South Pennsylvania tunnel. They battered the building al-most to pieces and carried off all the money, whiskey, tobacco and cigars they could find about the premises. They then crossed the mountain to the west end of the tunnel and raided a gin mill which is owned by Lewis Shaffer. Shaf-fer and his wife were taken into the woods, stripped of their clothing and tied to separate trees. ,\t this place the negroes secured $140 in money, whiskey and. cigars. On Tuesday night a second yafil was made on Garvey’s place and two barrels of whiskey carried off. The peaceable citizens of tho community, though greatly alarmed for their per-sonal safety, are afraid to make any ef-fort whatever towards the apprehension of the colored desperadoes.

General Aspinwall, who lias charge of the funeral procession of General Grant, says that a general plan lmd been map-ped out which will probably fie adopted. The military will form on Broadway, noar the City Hall, early on Saturday morning; the veteran Organizations of a military character on or near Broadway further north, and the civic organiza-tions and bodies still further to tho north. This arrangement was suggested in order that tlio civic division should have tlie shortest distance to travel President Cleveland and his Cabinet aro logo to tlie sub-treasury building, on Wall street, nnd he ready nt a signal to go in carriages and take their appointed place in lino. In tlie column the Fed-eral troops are to lead, nnd afterward will follow sailors and marines; then will come tlie militia and members-of the Grand Army post which forms tlio immediate escort of tlie remains. After the catafalque will follow tlie mourners. First of ttiese, of course, will ho tho members of General Grant’s family; then President Cleveland and the mem-bers of tlie Cabinet; the Governors of States and their staffs; the Grand Army of the Republic; the veteran organiza-tions not armed, and tlie Loyal Legion and similar organizations, and finally the civic bodies. At 9:30 A. M. three guns from a howitzer in City Hall Park will be a pre-liminary signal for the various bodies to fall into lino and tie ready to start. At. 10 A.

THU causes of the present business de-pression in Great Britain are to lie in-vestigated by a Government commission. In reply io a noble Lord who objected to the commission as unnecessary, Mr. Frederick Milner writes to the London Times as follows: “l think Lord William must be pro-pared to admit that few inhabitants of this country can recall a period of de-pression which for severity and duration can compare with that which wc are now going through, and the end of which so few are able to sec. At any rate I can tell him lliat that is tho universal opinion of all tile large manufacturers whom 1 have consulted in our large commercial towns. I think it is reasonable when such a terrible state of things exists that all those who really have tho welfare of their fellow countrymoil at heart should wish to have a searching inquiry made into the causes thereof by men thorough-ly competent to conduct such an in-quiry.” The report of tho commission will he looked for with interest in this country as well as in Great Britain. The cause of the trouble there is certainly neither protection nor the silver dollar. Well-informed economists contend that the gold standard is to blame, and there is reason to believe that they are right. \ shni k i nine along who wanted to | ,ii i Vti ni for a piolligate brother, i'lie I .read gauged philanthropist had one to ell and termf were agreed upon.

A third shark then inter-viewed tlie two sharks and tho philan-thropist and tillered to show them tlie wonders of three card monte. This pro-portion of shark to philanthropist hade fair to make an interesting llsli story and till* sequel will show that all promises were more than realized. 'I'lie sharks fell to playing monte and the shark who wanted to embark in tlie agricultural line u»as a steady whiner until on tlie last turn of tlie cards ho raked in $2500. In order to take up ids winnings lie was compelled to show down a similar amount of money. The broad ganged philanthro-pist was an interested spectator of tlie gambling of the sharks and when tlie winner could not collect more than half enough money to capture what lie laid well, tlie philanthropy of tlie philanthro-pist took even a broader gauge than ever and lie agreed to make up tlie balance, so he hied away to tlie bank secured $1250 on an endorsed note, added thereto $10o in cash and loaned$1355 to tils friend of an hour's standing without formality of note or any obligation of Indebtedness whatever. When tlie agricultural shark secured the funds there was a carnal twinkle in hisotVoyoimd to accommodate the side show shark ho agreed to throw onco more for $2500 which lie had alrea-dy won. Need wc tell tho result. Tlie side show shark won. The side show shark gobbled the money and left while the agricultural sharp wept better tears and embraced tlie broad gauge philanthropist. The sight was ono to make angels weep. Tlie broad-gauged philanthropist, seeing all hopes of a sale, other than an already had sale of personalty, vanish, linked arms with the law. Justice unleashed her hounds and a shark hunt on a new basis was instituted. From beneath the broad folds of the blind goddess’s robes an omnibus warrant issued. Proprietor, actor, clown and canvasman were or-dered under arrest, and after an exciting chase tlie sharks were not captured, but tlie thirteen hundred and flifty-flvo dol-lars were, much to the satisfaction of tlie broad-gauged philanthropist. In the language of an enthusiastic contem-porary, the broad-gauged pliilanshroplst “is not a gaming man, hut lie was a little too cool and smart for tlie itinerant sharpers. lie brought them up with a sudden turn that they will not likely forget during the balance of tho season.” Ilis “carefully carried out plan to teach the swindlers a salutary lesson was „ rather nervy undertaking, but be exe-cuted it with rare skill.” In the language of a great and good man, “them’s just our sentiments,” hut we are sorry to state for tlie information of the broad-gauged philanthropist that ills pear ly lesson was east before swine, for the self-same sharks swam out fishing in Butler county waters and caught a sucker In tho self-same way.

F. Sun. MEANING OF THE NAME GRANT. An Extract From lira Book Written I))' ICg-Proutdent Arthur'* Fatltef. In the book on family names by the late Rev. William Arthur, the fattier of ex-President Arthur, the meaning of tlie name Grant is explained. The hook is entitled, “An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Surnames:” “Of this name Flay fair remarks that it may be derived from the Saxon, Irish, or French. In the Saxon Grant signifies crooked or bowed. Thus Cambridge, the town and university in England, so called, signifies a crooked bridge, or rather a bridge upon tho Cam River, or the crooked or winding river, Tlie Saxons called this town Grant Bridge, came in tlie British and Grant in tlie Saxon being of the same significance-crooked. “So Mons Grnmpliius, the Grampian Hill, was called by tlie Saxons ‘Granz Ben,’or‘the crooked bill,’but wc can not sec how, from lids Saxon word, tlie surname should lie borrowed. “In tlie old Irish, grand ha signifies ugly, brave, valorous, and from thence many are inclined to think that the sur-name Grant Is taken from grand, which in the Irish Is sounded short, and thereby the letter il at the end of the word is changed into t, and thus grand into grant. The surname, it seems, was thus pronounced in England about 500 years ago, for Richard Grant was made Arch-bishop of Canterbury in tlie year 1229, and Is, In Mr. Anderson’s genoologieal tables, as well as by others, called Rich-ard Grant. But the English historians of that time writing in Latin, call him Richard Magnus, which plainly shows that they took Grant to lie tlie same with tlie French Grand and the Latin Magnus, to which let us and that in tlie old writs tlie article ‘tlie’ is put before Hie sur-name ‘Grand.’ ” A widow in f farrlstiiirg lias lioaton the record by doping with two conclimen.

Our county will be glad to know that within its boundaries there lives a phil-anthropist broad gauged In his views and with such a horror of swindlers that lie stands ready to adopt, any means to for-ever break their shoollstlc influences. The simple-minded citizen from the ru-ral districts who lias lived among people wh6 are honest and true, is a peculiarly apt victim for tlie wiles of a shark who will devour whatever comes within his reach. These sharks generally may he found in large numbers at travelling cir-cuses and county fairs, and the last circus which exhibited in this town was follow-ed by as tough a gang as could well bo. imagined. THE JOURNAL uttered a plain warning to its readers concerning these rascals and the consequence was that no swindling game was attempted here. At West Newton, however, the broad gau-ged philanthropist appeared in hultnft of an indangered people. DENATIONALIZING GRANT’S GRAVE. It is evident even In the pointed and earnest expressions of tho leading jour-nals of the country against making the New York Central Park the Anal resting place ofUeneral Grant, that they smother the more emphatic expressions which arc hindered only by respect for tl.e he rea\\:d family of tho fallen hero. Tho Bnltiirore American gently but plainly reflects the general sentiment of the country on the subject ns follows: There is an evident purpose on the part of Sboddyhood In New York to make tlie grave of Grant a sort of show, like tlie obelisk, the Bartholdi statue, tho Brooklyn bridge, and It will bo impossible for tho American citizen of tho future to feel for it the sort of rever-ence that ho feels lor Mt. Vernon. The burial at Central Park will, to some degree, dena-tionalize tho grave. It will become a New York show, like the elephant on Coney Island. New York is the scene of all that is most painful in Grant’s life. It was there that he fell among millionaires and sharpers and was dragged through humiliation un-speakable. It is true that ho received kind-ness and assistnneo there also, but who is It that Is not grieved to remember Grant as a receiver of charity ? The Grant that tho peo-ple love and desire to hold In remembrance is not the Grant of Wall street, but the Grant who led tho Union armies to victory and who for eight years was President of the United SUvtes. At the Soldiers’ Home In Washing-ton he might find a resting place amid tho Union soldiers who poured out their blood to earn Ills fame. When we say that the leading public journals of the country have spoken with bated breath on the subjcctof Grant’s final resting place, we speak what every intelligent observer knows and feels; and the significant silence of the New York press is practically a confession of the wrong that lias been Inflicted upon the family of General Grant by incon-siderate or interested parties. The coun-try mourns even more than it mourns the death of the Hero of Appomattox, his connection with the New York ele- ,incut that clouded die evening of his life witli unspeakable humiliation and sorrow. He had finished Ins great work and died, in the complete ripeness of un-rivalled fume. The country and tlie world had freely forgiven and forgotten the errors which Now York Sboddyhood had imposed upon General Grant; hilt it would have ids ashes and ids fame rescued from it in death. There must be some sincere triends of General Grant in New York who can indict the faithful wounds of friendship even over tlie liicr of tin*, dead. They should rescue not only the dust of Gen- Washington better. Just twenty-eight years ago, according to a recently-resurrected diary of a pri-vate secretary of tho fifteenth president of the United States, Mr. Buchanan re-ceived tlie following letter from a rural postmaster in Illinois, who had Just dis covered that the regulations of tlie de-partment required a quarterly report from him: M ISTKK JKISMS BICKCANNIX—Tie.cr Snr. —Belli required iiy tlie instructions of the Post office to report to you quarterly 1 beer with foolfil that pleasin dooty by reportin as fullers: Tlie harvestin liar bill goin on kinder pcert like and most of tlie nabers have tlinro euttin dun.

The health of tlie kcr.try is only tolloble good, and tlie colcry Ii is broken out 2 miles around trom here. But there is a powful stur on tho subject of religion, and sixty of the higest sinners in Macoupin county have jined tho church. Two of Jack Kiser’s best seitin liens pegged out last week, and tlie gaps is among tlie peepies. My health is not good, I got it so in my back.

C. L* Kuhn is our agent for Mt. Pleasant. ed. A Georgia physician took the precau-tion to secure a.certificate from a women whom ho hud treated, stating that it was Ids services which had given relief When pome praying visitors announced that their petitions to heaven had brought about the result, the doctor tri umplmntly shook tho document in their faces, and they retired from tho sceno discomlited. A gontleman who gave tho name of Hon. Oapfc. Godolphin Osborne, but who, tho police says, hails from New York has obtained from a London jewel ler $7,500 on tho strength ofsome cock audbullstory about holding titlo doods of a property worth $15,000 a year and a pen-sion of $1,500 a yoar, Tho infinite gulli-bility of tho London tradesman is illus tratod by such constantly recurring ox ampies. Prof. J. A. Harrison of Virginia says that tlie fertility of the negro dialect is really wonderful, not only In tho inge nious distortion of works, by which new and startling significance is given to common English words, but more os pocially in the imitation of animal ut-terances. It is an ear language altogeth-er The only wonder is how tho negro could Imve so truly caught tho swiftly uttered sounds about him. Lovaillant, of tho French Ministry, thinking it likely that the recent clos-ing ofclubs and clandestine gambling houses in Paris would increase tlie num-ber of gamblers that betake themselves to the fashionable seaside places has or-dered tho police commissaries to for-ward to him tho lists of visitors as soon as th«3 r are published, in ordor that measures may ho taken against any no-torious swindler who may bo among them. A Texas young man Advertised for a w ife, and a correspondence succeeded with a girl in Cleveland, resulting in long range betrothal. Upon going to Cleveland to marry ho was astonished to lourn that the ow ner of iho name was about to wed another, and that it was her mischievous sister who hud been writing to him. Instead of accepting the sister he lost his grip on happiness and tried to kill liiinself with arsenic He seemed to he in love with the name of the girl ho imagined himself betroth ed to, After tho conference at Peshawur it was observed that the Ameer’s followers had a sentimental desire for keepsakes, almost amounting to a weakness. One high Afghan official was seen hurrying along with a pair of brass candlesticks, which he safely stow ed away with his own hands. Another, who was armed with a little arsenal from head to foot, had bocomo possessed of an umbrella, and this he had thrust down iiis hack un-der neath his coat, with the hundlo pro** trading high above his head, w here it excited the envy ofall Afghan beholders. Tho Paris police aro just now, follow-ing our fashion, carrying on a campaign against tlio numerous turf agencies, the existence of which it sometimes puts down with great severity, Thoethorday M. Calmund, Commissarv of Police, had by virtue ofa decree issued by M. Jolly, an examining magistrate, closed Mr. William’s hotting establishment, situa-ted in Rue Lopeletiors. Tlie managers of this, tho principal turfagoncy in Paris were not arrested, hut their books and 4*11 the mmvey found on the premises wore seized. Boy Preacher Harrison, according tw his own estimate, has converted between forty t:nd filly thousand souls during Ins career. Evnngelist Sam Jones says that ho bus made between eight and ten thousand converts during tho present year. This is much better showing than Harrison’s considering that the latter has boon engaged in the work some twenty years. Jones avers, furthermore, that If E. J. McKlwee, the druggist, does not succeed it is not for the wan’of faith. He has such faith in Dr. Bosanko,*-. cough cough and lung syrup as a remedy for coughs, colds, consumption, and lung affection, that he will give a bottle free to each and every one who is in need of medicine of this kind. 8 29 ly Office, 1 f itebman's block, ('hnrch nlicc’, o«u4 i(»or from Main, St. Mt.

He Wai Civil nil(I Military Trails U"« Bent to West Point—!**•’» s'v"r'' Not Taken- Ills Ideas of Sudden Ilentli. On the nlglit of General Grant’s tleatli n score of soldiers anti politicians lather-ed in a well-known club in New York and a listener heard a remarkable series of anecdotes of their former commander. “I was in Galena,” said one, “In i860 and 1801.# Several times 1 tried to talk with Grant about politics and the impend-ing war. But It was no use. ‘I don’t know anything about such things, lie would say, ’anil I don’t want to know anything about them. Tanning leather Is my business now.’ ft was this disin-clination to talk that made him a failure as a clerk in Ills brother’s store. You know the prime qualification of a coun-try storekeeper, especially out West, is to talk politics with the customers.” “How did Grant get appointed to West Point?” some one asked. “Through his mother’s Influence. Grant’s father, you know, was a politi-cian, utid had a serious falling out with the Congressman for that district. So, when a vacancy at West Point occurred, the old man wouldn't go to the Congress-man and ask him to appoint I'lysseS. But Grant’s mother was a woman of great tact and influence, and she was still on good terms with the Congress-man’s wife. So she went to see her, and got her to persuade her husband to ap-point young Grant. It didn't require much persuasion, either, for the Com grcssmati was very anxious tc please old Grant and get in Ids good graces again, nnd this appointment brought about a reconciliation between the two men.” A MKSSAUK BEFORE VICK8BURO. “At Vicksburg,” said a soldier, “when Joe Johnston was advancing to raise the siege and Sherman set out to meet him, Grant wrote to Shernmn : ‘Vicksburg seems to put a great deal of faith in the Lord and Joe Johnston; but you must wtiip Johnston and drive him away, and 1 will attend to the rest.' I don’t sup-pose he exactly meant that be would serve the Lord as lie wanted Sherman to (treat Johnston.” “1 once asked Grant,” said a promi-nent Washington man, “if it was true that the Government supported him in lus campaigns more cordially than It did any of Ids predecessors Ju command of the Army of the Potomac. *1 don’t know,' he said; ‘perhaps It did. But I know there were strong influences and combinations of influences working against me all the time, both at Wash-ington and in the army in the Held. I never could And out the origin and ex-tent of it, and it hampered and troubled me a great deal. I don’t know but that it would have discouraged me altogether if It hadn’t been that 1 knew Lincoln trusted me fully. It was that that cheered me and kept me up.’ “It is remarkable,” said another, “that death should come to Grant In this form. His desire always was for a sud- (Jen exit from the world, lie used to speak of Garfield’s death, and hope such never would he ills lot. ‘It piqst have been terrible,’ lie would say, ‘for poor Garlield to lie there, day after day, am) see death coining remorselessly nearer and nearer, and know there tvas no es-cape. llis mental torments must have been awful. I would a thousand times prelcr sudden, even instantaneous death to such as that. In fact, why should a man who is ready to die fear sudden death.’ And yet Grant’s own end came in a lingering, agonizing form.” Wliyr AN ol.p WA It CpKHEBPONDENT SAYS. In the early part of 1864, when It be-came known that General Grant, who liad just been made General of all the Union Armies, was about to take com-mand of the Army of the Potomac and the most exciting and important military movements were anticipated, I was or-dered by niv paper to rejoin the army as a war correspondent and write up events as they occurred. I went first to Wash-ington and reached there about the time General Grant did. I first saw the Gon-tral in the corridor of Willard’s Hotel, the evening of the day he arrived from the West. Did any onp man in this world pypr |iavp a weightier responsibil-ity resting on ids shoulders than General Grant had at that time? lie had Just been made General in Chief and on his plan of action and by the orders lie was to promulgate depended the movement of armies Kast and West, aggregating nearly 1,000,000 of fighting men, and the immediate future, under Ids control, was to decide the question whether this na-tion was to livo as a whole or ho broken up Into fragments warring with each other. A PICTURE OF GRANT. When I saw General Grant at this time lie was lazily leaning against the wall near the cletk’s office, with one hand thrust inside liis vest and the other in Ills pants pocket, lie had a lighted cigar in his mouth, which lie frequently took out and blew forth wreaths of smoke. lie wore an undress uniform and had a trav-el- tired appearance generally. He was engaged In quiet conversation with an officer as he leaned against the wall and appeared to he entirely oblivions to the curious, steady game of a number of per-sons wh.i wore standing around. I know that the only wav to reach tlio headquarters of the Army of the Potomac at that time from Washington was by taking the Orange and Alexandria Rail-road to Brandy Station, and I also knew that the railroad was under military control and it would require an official pass to take passage. I hail resolved, in order to save time, to approach General Grant, show him my credentials and ob-tain an autograph permit from him to tako tlie train in the morning for Brandy Station, Just as I made up my mind to address him tie strolled off with his nffi cer friend and I lost sight of him that night, A PERMIT FROM THE GENERAL. The next, morning I heard that Gene-ral Grant was going down to the army in the first train, and, accompanied by a tellow-correspondent, named Edward Crapscy, we hurried to the railroad sta-tion, Imping to intercept tlie General and obtain the coveted pass. We found general grant seated In a ear ajl alone, Smoking a cigar and looking over a news-paper. I advanced and, showing him my papers and stating my object, asked for a permit to Visit nmiy headquarters. I found tlie General approachable, affable and conciliatory aud, handing him my note hook ami load pencil, he leaned hack in liis seat and wrote the permit. Mr. Edward ('rnpsey (who came origi-nally from Galena, 111.,) then advanced and asked a similar favor, and IIS soon as General Grant read Ids inline on tlie card presented lie recognized him and remark-ed, with a smile on Ids face: “Edward Grapeey, eli ? Why, 1 knew your mother before you was born.” The General then spoke pleasantly to II for a few minutes, when we retired, delighted with tlie success of the inter-view. We went on tlie train with General Grant to Meade’s headquarters at Brandy Station, hut the General kept on to Cul-pepper, where lie went into close retire-ment for several days and was seldom seen by anybody. Asking an officer at Culpepper one day what had become of General Grant he replied tome: “Oh, the General is keeping as close as possi-ble, studying out the plan of tlie coining campaign.” General Grant did not visit Genci'g) Meade’s headquarters at Brandy Station, which is only about a mile from Culpepper, from tlie limit )ie arrived from Washington until tlie grand ftq>y;ird movement commenced, lie was engaged «)J Uye tjnie it) deep, close study, and the result of t hat stqdy »t Culpeper saved tlie Union. THE FIGHTING THAT FOLLOWED. The famous forward movement of the Army of tlie Potomac under Grant across the Knpldati commenced at day-light on the 3d of May, 1864, and was, #s all readers are aware, followed by tlie battles in tj.ie Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North Anna, Cold Harbor, and culmi-nated in the taking of Hiel)||)0))d and General Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, It is not my purpose in this article to recount any of the terrible and bloody scenes 1 witnessed during that memora-ble cuihp&ign. They are matters of his-tory. 1 come at once to tlie next time I saw General Grant after leaving him In Lite pars at Brandy Station. On tlie af-ternoon of tlie second day's lighting in the Wilderness I happened to he iit Gen-eral Meade’s headquarters, on a rising piece of ground covered with pine trees and which oyei'looked the battle-field. While standing fliers jyjffi A scene of fearful carnage going on in tlie woodc all around, l saw General Grant, eover-with dust, but entirely unattended, ad-advanning up the hi)lsjdc toward General Meade’s headquarters. He stopped and by himself sat down on a tree stump and pulled some paper out, which he quietly scanned over. 1 then noticed him writ-ing something. He then sat still awhile and appeared t.O he tracing something out on tlie paper or map bp held in ids lap and soon afterwards went away by himself. I noticed he spoke to no one and nobody advanced toward him, but a number of eyes worn on him. He seemed to be remarkably calm, cool ami collected, but was not then smoking a cigar. I have always thought since that when I saw General Grant at tills critical time lie was stmljfng the path for the advance of the army towards Sppttsyl-vania, and which movement so astonish-ed everybody then, and that when he was writing he was framing the memor-able dispatch to Washington containing the words. “I propose to tight it out on this line if it takes all summer,” At the time I saw General Grant It was certain-ly the most critical point of the three day’s fighting in the Wilderness. QF.IJFJIAL MEADE’S ANGER. Shortly after this a newspaper was brought to General Meade's headquar-ters that contained a dispatch from Mr, Grapsey which read: “Had it not been for the presence of General Grant with the Army of the Potomac General Meade would have retired from the wilderness with the entire army and reerossed tlie Rnpidaii.” General Meade was so indig-nant when lie read this dispatch that lie ordered poor Grapsey (wlio Itnil only stated the truth) to lie drummed out (if tlie army and ordered not to return. General Grant, although he knew Mr. Grapsey personally, declined to counter-mand the order for his dismissal out of pure deference to tlie action of General Meade. While the worst of tlie fighting at Spottsylvania Court House was going on I was riding up a rising piece of ground when l came upon General Grant, surrounded by ids start', and all were mounted. Tlie General stood a little in advance of ills stall' and was quietly and steadily \yatphjng tfip fight-ing in the woods, a large open field being between him aud the woods. As I rode past I noticed that tlie stall' were earnestly discussing some Incident of the battle and one of them remarked! “Well, we had a very graphic desupp tion o| that from Mr. Washburne," (The Hon, E. H. Washburne, of Illinois, who accompanied the army, and a per-sonal friend of Grant’s,] General Grant heard the remark and, turning Ills head around, said, with a pleasant smile: “Oh, well, you know Washburne was excited at that time.” On the memorable morning of the twelfth ot May, General Hancock made Ills celebrated charge at Siiottsylvaiiia and captured General Edward Johnston aud his division. The fighting was ter-rific and tlie rain was falling In torrents and I found myself standing in front of a large camp-fire and close by me stqpd General Grant, who was drying himself, anil with him wffi'P tjenerajs Meade, Humphries and Hunt, chief of artillery Grant, while standing in front of the fire, would gaze steadily and in silence at the embers and then peer through tlie storm in the direotlou where tlie hardest musketry firing was heard. He seemed quiet and contemplative and after look-ing steadily forward for a while lie turn-ed around to General Meade and said : Well, let’s go over to headquarters and see how things are there.” General Meade, who seemed nervous and anxious, turned to Grant and said : “I(old o,n a ||tt]e w-jdle, I want to stiii how Warren develops himself oyer yonder.” They remained a short time longer aud then the entire party mounted their horses and rode off. HANCOCK’S CHARGE. Soon after Hancock made his great charge he sent tho following dispatch to General Grant: GENERAL: I have captured from thirty to forty gims. I have finished up Johnston and am now going into Early. When General Grant read the dispatch he made the sfippje re(par(i( “flu|ly,’< and hqiulpd thp paper, in the other Gen-erals. About noon outlie 12th of May 1 was seized with a desire to reach Wash-ington that very night and telegraph to Philadelphia and tlie north tlie news of Hancock’s glorious and successful charge. I knew there would lie difficul-ties in the way, but l sought General Grant, who was dining at a farm lion«n near by, and told him what I wished to do. The General had just got tip from tlie table, and 'after hearing me lie re-marked, while leaning against the door: “I suppose you can get through without much trouble. Tlie road is open to not catch the farmer. I was covered with dust from head to foot and was a sad Right.” “Did the farmer know yon?” inquired the frieml. “Well, I didn’t think he did; but hold on a minute. I caught almost up to Idm. Fredericksburg, and when you get there | The old fellow looked out of one side of tlie Provost Marshal will give you a horse and escort to Belle Plain Landing and if you are in time you can catch tlie Washington boat.” I took General Grant’s ndviee and start-ed off on a twelve-mile walk to Freder-icksburg, not being able to take my horse. At Fredericksburg I told the Provost Marshal what General Grant lmil said and lie furnished me with a horse and orderly and I set out on a fonrleen-mlle ride to Belle Plain Landing through a guerilla country. Fortunately I caught the steamer for Washington, where I arrived late at night, hut in time to send over the wires a full account of Han-cock’s success In the morning and other Important news that had an electrical effect all over the north.

S. GRANT, “Brigadier-general Commanding.” It Is impossible to describe the effect the reading of tfiJjj order had on the troops. Everyone was expecting tft fipap some momentous announcement, and lienee listened with eager attention and when it was finished looked at each other in litter bewilderment and asked, wliat did it mean? The parade was qver, and tlie moment they dispersed each one sought ail ex-planation of tlie strange affair.

When tlie lieutenant returned to camp, late in tlie evening, lie W|)S glad to escape to Ids tent to avoid tlie numberless questions end jokes about tlie pumpkin pic. GRANT AT CITY POINT. On Hie night of tlie day tlmt General Lee surrendered to General Grant at Appomattox I met Grant at City Point. It was after midnight am! lie had just readied City Point ill the train from Ap-pomattox Court House. He was accom-panied by tlie members of liis staff and when lie emerged from tlie railroad pgf lie was still tlie cool, quiet, imperturba-ble Grant. He had on a plain uedress uniform, muddy top hoots and a fatigue cap. He looked more like a hard-work-ing army employer than a victorious general who hail just conquered tho greatest rehellion tlie world had ever seen. He hardly presented tlie appear-ance of an ordinary army officer, and many of tlie officers of ids staff present-ed far more )q|posing appearances than Grant did. I was dose by him when lie alighted from tlie train, and when lie readied tlie board-walk lie called to one of liis aids and said : “I guess those men in charge of tlie freight ear know enough to take care of our horses, don’t they?” Being assured that tlie horses wouh| fie properly attended to General Giant slowly ascended tho steps up the cliff that loti to liis log cabin at City Point, aud about 2 A. M. lie threw himself on on Ids couch and went to sleep, tifier tlie most eventful day that any limn in tlie world had ever passed through. Ills FONDNESS FOR HORSES. During tlie lust weeks of liis illness a friend called on General Grant, mid be-gun talking about horses, a favorite sub-ject with tlie General. “General,” he said, “I like to sit be-hind one of those horses tfiat just doubles up, with liis tail (lying straight behind When 1 mi) holding the reins tightly, and going about 2 :30.” “That’s It f That’s It 1” cried the Gen-eral, and Ills eyes glistened ami twinkled, Although very weak, he smiled aud said again; "That’s the way, Blit," he ad-ded, with a sigh, “I'll novor ho able to do that any more.” From early last winter, when the first sovero weather set in, the General lias believed that he could not recover. Dr. Douglas Raid to him one day : “Suppose, General, you should get well? Suppose in two months you could go out of this room a well man?” “Suppose!” replied the General, us if soliloquizing. Arousing himself, lie added: “I would do many things over again. 1 would correct many things. And 1 would trumpet the praises of my doctors the world over.” The General, fiuring tfis illnesss, did nut talk of llis war experiences so much as of other tilings. A friend asked him while lie sat in his easy chair, “General, is it true ihat you were arrested in Washington for last driving?” “Yes,” lie answered, laughing at the same time, “1 bought this horse Butcher Boy from a Washington butcher. The butcher made me pay him $375, although he had paid only $125 a few days before. Somebody had told him that when I saw a horse l liked I would buy him. Well, I was driving pretty fajt, ( knew the policemen wu'ye watching me, hut I iluiu't bother with them, for I wanted to see what the old horse would do. I was arrested, paid $10 fine and drove slowly hack to the White House.” A LONG BRANCH FACE. “But let me tell you,” he continued with animation, “about the time I was at Long Branch, A gentleman said lie had an $8000 horse, and if 1 wanted to drive him I was welcome to do so. So o:.e day I had him hitched tip and started out As I was gouig along I eftfight \\p with i)ii ojd fqriivMfi wfiq was driving an old Iplug' |n front of a top-buggy. The wind was hlowiug against him, too. Well, lie just said ‘g’lang,’ and 1 never saw so much dust fly in my life. Said I to myself: ‘Grant, here you are sitting behind an $8,000 horse, and let an old fellow like that beat you.’ ‘No! no! , said I. I shook tlie reins over my steed, I but, though iio let himself out, I could liis wagon and remarked: “General, how do you like tlie dust? I think It’s about time for a rain.” “Well, I just clenched my teetli and said to myself: ‘If this horse is worth $8,000,000 I’m going to bent that farmer.’ With one fine spurt 1 went paRt him, mid as I did I exclaimed : ‘My old friend, turn your buggy into a sprinkling cart. You’ll need it to keep down the dust.” Tlie General lay hack in Ids sliair and laughed. He was cheerful all that day. From the It1v< r, n(l Clergy.

The cap of most cheap silver cases is made of a composition known as albata, which is a very poor substitute for silver, as it turns black in a short time. The backs of such cases are made much thinner than those of an all silver case, being robbed in order to make the cap thicker and get in as much as possible of the cheap metal. Another important point in asilver case is the joints or hinges, whiefi should be made of gold. Those of most cheap cases are tnftde of silver, which is not a suitable metal for that purpose. In a brief period it warps, bends and spreads apart, allowing the backs to become loose upon the case and admitting the dust and dirt that accummulate in the pocket. The Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made with silver caps and gold joints. 81. LOOTS, MO„ Fsb. 17.1883. Inour longand varied ** xpenence in handling watches, we cannot but acknowledgeand giveour testimony that the Kuytitono Solid Silver Watch Cases are the best mule to our knowledge. Having no soldering they re-main homogeneous, harder and stiff«r than they would be were they heated for soldering, and havo more resisting power against erensure than any other caseq in the market.

BURIED GOLD
LOCATED AT LAST BY THE VEILED
PROPHETESS.
Treadlin' lliilllrn for. Centlirr
oil Tli r..11.4■' n Seer.—A Peculiar
Al'irf.
A newspnpef man on ttie hunt fur
items min evening Inst weok "as nailed
aside by a colored man who told him
(hat ir ho presented himself at his house
at, a quarter before t welve o'clock that
night he might consider himself a part
o' agold hunting expedition. The reader
of the mysterious had at last viewed a
favorable conjunction of the stars and
Pad learned the location ol a valuable
treasure which had been secreted near
the Braddoek road during the march to
old Fort Duquesne. Promptly at the
appointed time, the scribe was at the
p'aee designated and found four stalwart
individuals with their countenances
hidden behind masks in accordance with
the orders of the veiled prophet who had
located the hidden riches. Starting out
in the direction of Bridgeport, the treas-ure
hunters marched in Indian fileacross
Jacobs Creek and struck a trail towards
the ridge. At a certain point in the
journey, the quintette consulted a chart
prepared by the sorceress and it was
agreed that the buried gold could not be
far away. The directions said that at
A CKBTAtM POINT IN IIUMSKIN TOWNSHIP
on the night mentioned the visitors might
locate a tree trunk scarred by lightning
which would be in a direct line between
the observer at:d the moon as it shone in
the eastern heavens. After having fixed
upon the tree, the lovers of wealth were
to start from the foot of ttie trunk and
take one hundred steps northward, keep-ing
the eye lived upon the north star.
The starting point was determined by
aid of the mystic map and all eyes began
searching for the blasted tree. Finally
as the flying send passed from die face of
t he moon, in tlm broad band of light was
seen (lie massive tree stripped of its
branches yet still holding it» head proud-ly
erect. A hurried rush was made lor
the tree. The sky was tilled with clouds
and the north star peeped in and out
from behind Hie floceulent masses as
though aware of the excitement which
was now apparent in the movements of
the masked hunters. One of the number
was detailed to step the distance and
with tiis eye on the pole star, he began.
Step after step was counted until more
than seventy yards had been covered
when the walker tripped and fell, losing
Ids correct position and theconntofsteps.
A SECOND ATTEMPT WAS MADE
with a new walking man as it wasevident
that the witches guarding the gold had
castaspell upon the former pedestrian.
Slowly and carefully the distance was
measured. When the clouds obscured the
guiding star, a halt was ordered and the
whole party awaited in breathless silence
the re-appearance of the guide. Then the
march went on and after several halts,
the required distance was measured. The
men then measured a square of seven
feet around the spot and within these
boundaries and seven feet below ground
was the object of the search, if the
prophecy was true. The picks and shov-els
wont industriously to work driven by
the hands of the strong men, while the
scribe, behind a toby watched the pro-gress
of the work. For nearly sn hour
not a word was spoken and the only
sound heaid
the men and
earth as they were thrown from the ex-cavation.
Two hours passed and three,
and the prescribed limits were almost
exhausted. The men worked faster and
fnRter while the smoke from the toby
and the bright"glare at the toby’s end
told the tale of the scribe being still at
his post. Suddenly there was a clear
ringing sound as though steel had come
in contact with steel, then a sli nit and a
scramble from the pit. One of them had
struck an iron obstacle with his pick.
The whole five men jumped into the pit
and rapid work with the implements
soon cleared the earth from
A STRONGpY MADE IRON CURST
about the size of a modern soap box
Hopes were fastened to the handles
at each side, and the chest was
hoisted to the surface. The diggers
danced and embraced each other in the
madness of their joy. The rusty fasten-ings
were forced by the aid of the pick
and the lid flew open revealing in the
moonlight the glitter of yellow gold.
Doubloons and sovereigns lay mingled
in a shining mass upon a tray. The tray
was lifted from its place revealing a sec-ond
iron lid. While the scribe was ex-amining
the gold to see that it was not
Reagantown goods, the hunters tried to
force the second obstacle. Finally one
struck the lid a resounding blow with
a pick. There was an explosi in as of an
earthquake, the men were blown to pie-ces
and when the reporter recovered his
consciousness he found himself on
the floor. He had fallen out of bed,
while dreaming.
Ovorconie liy Tlio Ural,
At the inspection of the National
Guard at Camp Gallagher on Lake Con-neaut
on Thursday last, the militia suf-fered
greatly from the heat. About
thirty-men in the Tenth Regiment suc-cumbed
to the torrid rays of the sun;
among this number w ore Captain Keenan
and live or six men of the Greenstmrg
Company. Major James M. Laird ami
Captain Keenan have tendered their res-ignations
to take etrect immediately.
The life of a soldier under the new rnlos
governing theHtatesoldiery lias nothing
of a picnic character about it although at
ttys same time the new regime is great-ly
increasing the efficiency of the guard
and may therefore be considered a suc-cess.
TALK AROUND TOWN.
Wild! Ota■- Lounging Mon Hear* While
nn Ills Toms.
The calm, imperturbable man who
swung around the circle from Donelson
to Appomattox lies cold in death’s em-brace.
Next to Lincoln the name of
Ulyssess S. Grant will beenrolled among
those who, in the hour of the nation’s
peril, with true an 1 patriotic wisdom
swept the danger into oblivion, In this
day when the people stand beside the
coffined remains of the illustrious dead,
it is hardly possible to form a tine esti-mate
of Grant’s character. We are apt
only to see that which was good, ignor-ing
the faults. It therefore remains a
duty of the future to draw a true like-ness
of a truly great man. We tnny
stand by the grave and mourn Grant’s
departure, for the Union has lost a firm
supporter and the Republic one of its
saviors. The young Americans can
carefully study Grant’s history for he
rose from the people by hjs own merits,
and his history will show a combination
of modesty, grit and patriotism which
may well be taken as an example for
future generations.
THE STARS GET LEFT.
was the quick breathing rftkjjs met'
d the rattle of stones and tli^-sqf
The mourning over the General’s de-mise
is as sincere as it is universal. The
South has buried the bitterness of years
of strife, and recognizes the fact that
Grant as a foe was both brave and mag-nanimous.
IIis generous allowance of
terms ut the time of Lee’s surrender
gave evidence that he was not possessed
of a malignant spirit, but that when his
ends were accomplished his endeavors
were for the amelioration of those whom
he had overcome. Thu north and
south, east and west unite in bewailing
the death of an Illustrious man.

The South Pennsylvania railroad
seems to he a dead issue. The struggle
of the giants has added millions in
money to the coffers of Vanderbilt,
while Ids associates have been left to
take care of themselves. The daily
press seems to he in a state of anxious
uncertainty over the condition of the
bargain. .Oneday wo are told Jjini the
sale is completed, that Vanderbilt holds
the power and that the end of the en-terprise
is in sbdit’, the nest day these
reports are flatly contradicted and the
anti-Pennsylvania railroad folks propose
making it hot for the man who is alleged
to have sold them out. For my part "1
must confess that 1 believe tho South
Penn is ended forevermore as far as the
present corporation is concerned. Van-lerbilt
has secured the opposition line
on the west hank of the Hudson rlvo1
and the New York Central is without a
rival. Those who have been investing
heavily with the idea of re-imhursing
themselves upon a rise in prices Incident
on the construction of tho line lmd bet-ter
be making some arrangements to get
under cover before the shower comes.
I am told that the break up will have a
bad effect in some parts of our own
oonnty, J hope this item may not be
correct. ** *
The editor has told me of a plan for
making tho dome of the new school
building useful to the public. The idea
in to place a flag-staff upon It and dis
play thereon the weather signal flag. As
the dome is easily seen from all parts of
town and is visible away down the Ja-cob’s
creek valley, the school directors
should give the plan the attention that
it demands. The foretelling of

The game between the Stars and the
Waltons at Latrobe on Wednesday was
anything hut an interestinge< ntest. The
Htars who were first to the bat retired in
one, two, three order, while their oppo-nents
got three men across the homo
plate in the last half of the first inning,
nine of the runs being earned. In the
second the Htars were blanked and the
Waltons again secured three unearned
runs. After this inning the Stars settled
down to work and played a fairly good
game up until the ending of theseventl^
when they had drawn up within two
runs of tying the score which stood !) to
11. The Waltons after whitewashing
their visitors in the eight, made five
runs, the Stars lending some very valua-ble
assistance in the way of wild throws.
The Stars failed to score In the ninth and
thus ending the game. Steiner was the
only one on the home team who played
anything like good ball, the balance be-ing
off either at the bat or in the field.
Milbee and tjueer l;ot|i had very sore
hands and can therefore he excused. The
Stars were fairly outplayed and accepted
their defeat like pid'osophers. The re-turn
game will be played hero probably
next week, when we hope to see a much
better game all rmipd.

Ions After the (’a fit lire of Atlanta.
Special ('orrespot.donee to the JOURNAL.
LIOONIKR. August 1st, 1885.
In nnr last writing to the JOURNAL
mention was made of a couple of fora-ging
expeditions sent out from Atlanta
by 1 tenoral Sherman. The first of these
went down into the Green river country,
forming a “base of operations” at Flat
Shoals about eighteen miles southeast of
Atlanta. A number of wagons and a
strong guard were left at tho Shoals,
and then the work of “going for” things
generally, was promptly inaugurated.
Much of f|ie country was tinder a high
state of cultivation aud extremely rich in
forage. Hogs, sheep, cattleand poultry of
every description were plenty; there
was also plenty of horse feed, Hour, corn
meal, sweet potatoes, honey etc., and the
consequence was that the soldiers fared
siiinptouslv every day during the expe-dition.
We wpr<* diyifh'fl into squads of
from twenty-five up to fifty, owing to the
distance wo intended to go out and com-manded
hv an officer |'li|t Simula, a town
at,out the size of Pleasant Unity, was for
Ihe time being, our rende«rons, The
entire expedition camped thereat night
and did ample justice to what had been
captured during the dav. The fact is, we
had rather a guy old tune during our
stay at Flat 8II"HIH; we fenced in about an
acre or probably a li lie more with a
high rail fence, and tills enclosure was
divided and subdivided for the accom-modation
of the different kinds of stock
and poultry weeaptured. We remained
there four or live days, during which
time we got away with
THOUSANDS OF IIOI.I.AIIS WORTH OF FORAGE;
night was made hideous by the
fitful braying of mules, lowing
of cattle, squealing of hogs, bleat-ing
of sjieep, nnncklqg of ducks, chatter-ing
of gepse and crowing of chanticleers.
Viewed as a whole, it wa" a lively scene.
11 is proper to slate here that the. farms,
especially in middle and Southern Geor-gia
are very large, they are all called
“plantations” down tfierp, anil many of
them are models of Deal ness; there is al-most
invariably a large white frame
house about the centre, having a superb
yard in front and surrounded,some little
distance away, however, by small cabins
lor the accommodation of tlieirslayes. In
making raids tlie soldiers always thor-oughly
examined the large farm house
first, because they always yielded the
most, revenue. There was never any-thing
about the nogro huts t|iat amount-ed
to much; some cf the soldiers, who
had learned the art of stealing at home
managed to get away with considerable
sums of gold and silver on these raids.
After we had "gobbled up,” ns it was
termed hy thosoldiers, everything avail-able
in the region round about Flat
Shoals we returned to Atlanta, loaded
down with forage. A couple of weeks
later another expedition w«a sent out on
the same errand, this tjino, however, we
went out about thirty miles before we
formed u base, leaving Atlanta at eight
o’clock in the mornimr, we did not, reach
our destination till midnight. There
were several fine musicians in our com-pany,
and they were forever singinu
nt Bomolh’.ng, S'lnellme after dark we
were inuri hing eh ng singing; “The bell
(hull toll, ils echoes roll, i know the
sound lull well,” when all of a sudden,
bang, bang, went two muskets from the
bushes on our left,and two bullets wliis-ded
over the heads of the column, then
the familiar command “halt” was lieafd.
and the column belted promptly, then
we had orders to load but not cap; wc
did both, however, and as the sequel will
show, we were right for an hour or so
inter, we were passing through a piece of
timber at ttie margin of which wgs one
of the omnipresent cross roads of the
South, and right here a s^uad of
REBEL CAVALRY DASHED IJJTO OUR RANKS
and commenced firing. Our column
divided, some entering tha wot ds
on the rigid and some on the
left, and the ball opened in
level earnest. The cavalry were mounted
in the road, the action only lasted about
live minutes, but during that time it
sounded quite interesting, our impression
is that not a single man washiton either
side. We reached our “base” about
midnight, and operated in the surround-ing
country for four days, after wbicli we
returned to Atlanta, loaded down as be-fore.
But as most of your readers hayp
never seen Atlanta we will close this
writing with a description of the place.
Atlanta is one of the finest cities south
of Mason & Dixon’s line. It contains a
number of superb public buildings and
magnificent private residences. It is the
headquarters of the regular, oldfashioqed
Southern aristocracy,an |
