The 'people of that section affirm that there 'are yet vast treasures buried around there that have never been recovered. Even to this day strangers sie often Been prying around in. the woods and fields, evidently searching for gold they buried there on. that eventful flight, but have lost the locality, Only a few months since; two strangers epent several days in the neighborhoodjand after their departure a hole was found near the roadside with the impression of a box that bad been lifted from it. Several of those excava? tions are still to be seen. The country however, has been preity thoroughly searched, for nearly every foot of it has been visited by men equipped with iron rods hunting for treasure. A few years ago a-AIr. Myers, living in that locality, actually went to the expense and trouble of draining off a pond on bis place in which, it was reported, the soldiers had dumped a quantity of money . His labors were! unrewarded*, however. The house i at "which this train was robbed is still standing. It is, an old dingy frame building wich a grove of cedars iu the yard, and a well in front. Above Petersburg, in Elb et t county, on the farm, of Mr. James T?te, stands one of the largest artificial mounds in. the State. Not; far from it ; is a smaller mound. Both of the mounds we're re? cently opened by officials connected with the Smithsonian institute, but nothing of a very interesting nature was found. The singular thing about the building of these mounds, however, is that the earth of which they-were formed was brought from Carolina, across the river, as shows by both the character of the soil and a basin from which the dirt wastaken.

I hope their nefarious conduct will be fully ex? posed, and to help do this I will relate two cases that came under my own per? sonal observation. The first case is well known to various parties '(white) in our locality. A white man who had sold more whisky than the negro whom he prosecut? ed had ever owned, in company with a .United States Deputy Marshal, went to a negro gathering. The Deputy Marshal pretended to be a book agent. After taking a good many orders for his books, he told the negroes that it was now his treat, and if any of them bad some whisky he would buy it and treat the crowd. The negroes-, knowing the white man who Was with their Depnty Marshal and being unsuspecting, produced about one half a pint of whisky and sold it to them. Now this negro who sold them the whisky had actually acted as the clerk of this same 'white man in former transactions of the same character. -This, negro was prosecuted and put in Edgefield Jail for three months and fined $100. The second case is worse. A white man was prosecuted by negroes for selling whisky, and came clear, although it is a well known met that he had been selling whisky regularly for several years. After coming'? clear, Le prosecuted these ne? groes for perjury.- Their fate will be de? cided at the present term of the United States Court. One deputy marshall has a standing offer of $5 to be given to any negro that will get him up a cafle,' whether the parties. are convicted or not: and I my? self have heard the Deputy Marshall a cfcnowledge that he bad Bold aa much as a barrel of whisky. Yet this is the kind of Federal officials we have under a Democratic adminis? tration. And I voice the sentiments of the respectable people of our community, when I say that the majority of the present regime of Federal officials should be placed by some worthy officers, whose conduct will not be a stain to themselves and to the State. Let us have a change. She Forgot her Bustle. Kaxses City, Mo., August 26?S. M. Ballingsley, a wealthy business man and farmer of Bronanga, a small station near Nevada, Mo., and his wife, have been stopping at the new Albany Hotel for several.days. They left yesterday morn? ing for home. Last night Chief Speers and the proprietors of the hotel received telegrams stating that Ballingsley had lost $1,600 in the hotel. The clerk made a careful search of No. 45, the room they had occupied, but could find no money. Sergeant Boulware was assigned! to the case, and after a careful examination of the employees of the house, decided none of them had found the money, and another search of the room was began. The money was finally found between the slats of the bed and the mattress. It was done up in a strange fashion. Around the long leather purse that con? tained the money a piece of. coffee sack, had been sewed as tight as twine could 8ew.it. Around this was wrapped a towel which was also'tightly sewed, and. the whole was bound up in another towel loosely stitched together. Mr. Ballings ley arrived this morning and got his money. He explained that his wife bad done it up in that manner so that she could wear it as a bustle. In her hurry to catch the train yesterday morning she forgot to put on her bustle and did not discover the fact until they had reached Nevada. "Myv wife" was almost crazy,", said Mr. Ballingsley. "Just as we step? ped off the train at Nevada she slapped me in the face. 'Great Heaven1 what did you hit me for?' I exclaimed. 'I didn't hit yon,' she said, 'but I forgot the money.'" A Guide to Success. Business men, especially those who are thoroughly, prompt and methodical, are guided by certain elementary princi? ples. In some cases principles are form? ulated into simple rules, which cover even the details of conduct. A promi? nent New York banker attributes his success in business to the care with which he has obeyed these plain rules: Take time for eating, sleeping and di? gestion. Don't worry. Be satisfied with your work after doing it well. Never ask another to do what you ought to attend to personally. Shun the slightest appearance of dishonesty as you would shun the plague. Always meet your appointments on time. Never late. If possible, not much ahead of the moment. Don't talk too much. Let your actions speak for yourself. Be honest, even if you lose money by it. Never let business interfere with home duties. Remember that money alone cannot buy peace, nor true friend-*, nor a loving and happy family. It is refreshing, in these days of specu? lation and dishonest dealing?; to know that a man can live according to the above principles and yet make money. It shows that honesty and business go band in hand. ? An Allen town (Pa.) firm of tailors employs a pretty young lady as collector. If a debtor murmurs something about being short of money, and hints at "call? ing again," she smiles sneetly at him and takes a seat, from which she seldom rises without the money due in her hand. ?

Augusta now boasts of the youngest grandfather in America-, and beats the record in the person of Mr. James Lindsay, who is thirty-five years of age. The story.is a romantic and sad one, and the Evening News called at Mr. Lindsay's residence-, No. 1808 Broad Btreet, last afternoon, but the young grandpa was not in, being at bis daily work as a machinist in the Sibley Mills. Mrs. Lindsay was found, and when asked if she would object to give for p?blica tioo an account of the story she replied: "No, sir.. Mr. Lindsay is the happiest man in the town, and we will not mind its publication." Continuing she said: "In 1870 James Lindsay, who was then but seventeen years old,'married me. I was twenty* one years of age. A year afterward our union was blessed by a bouncing boy named William. He grew up with the times and when but quite a lad he resolved to follow his father footsteps and marry while "young. When he was fifteen years old he became acquainted with Miss Mary Connors, and on the 21st of June, he romantically ran away and wedded Miss Connors, who was then only nineteen." Mr. and Mrs. William Lindsay's life has been a happy one, and was made more so the first of this month when they were blessed with aboy. Mrs. Lindsay, however, died on the loth, but the baby BUrvives. The little one is quite sick ?ow and is being cared for by its young grandparents. Mr. Lindsay is happy in being known as the youngest grandpapa in this coun? try, and, probably) in the whole world. This record will be hard to down.? Augusta Evening News. A Big Slip of the Fen. 'Washington, August 21.?A most re? markable blunder was discovered to-day which might possibly be made to cost the fovernment twenty-five millions of dollars Ivory bill which becomes a law is sent to the State Department. Here the bill is critically examined and the parchment is then carefully filed away. At a special printing office maintained at the State Department and manned by the most careful printers the bill is set up and printed from the official engrossed bill, and the State department then sends the printed act out to the officers and bureaus, within whose jurisdiction falls the execu? tion of its provision. The Slate Depart? ment to day sent out the act appropriating twenty-two million dollars for various improvements of the rivers and harbors of the country. By a most remarkable blunder the act disposes of forty seven millions, or twenty five millions more than was intended. Almost on .the first page of the act is this paragraph : "For improving the harbor at Back Cove, Portland harbor, Maine, twenty five thousand thousand dollars." That is, through the libeality of the State Department, Back Cove harbor gets au appropriation of twenty five millions. Back Cove harbor is a little bit of harbor back of Portland, capable of accommodat? ing, possibly, half a dozen fishing smacks, and it probably went wild with joy when it learned that the original bill actually gave-it twenty five thousand dollars. When it learns that it can lay claim to to twenty five millions out of the national treasury, it will probably paint itself red. A very interesting situation now pre? sents itself. If the words "twenty-five thousand thousand" occur in the original enrolled bill then the appropriation is positively binding; and the Back Cove can claim twenty five million. The only remedy for the Treasury to evade pay? ment of the money will be to have Congress pass a special act to amend the present act, "striking out all after the word 'Maine' and substituting 'twenty five thousand dollars.'" In that case the voice of Mr. Bauteile, of Maine, will probably be heard in the land. He is absent just now, but he will be on band in a day or two, especially when be hears about Back Cove. Daring all the dis cussion of the original bill he kept up a running fire of complaint at the insignif? icant appropriations doled out to Maine. Out of sheer perversity, Mr. Boutelle will probably make a tremendous fight against the amendatory act. Very unfortunately for Back Cove and its dazzling possibilities, it is only too probable that the engrossed bill reads "twenty-five thousand.". In that case all the printed copies issued to day will be called in, and a State Department proof? reader will be called out. So it all depends on the enrolled, copy, which is to-night securely locked up in the big vaults of the State Department. At a late hour to-night Mr. Secretary Bayard has politely but firmly declined to go back to the State department to examine the. original, nor would be consent to throw the key out of the window, so that more enterprising persons might go to the department and learn for themselves. The hundred and ten inhabitants of Back Cove must, therefore, wait until ten o'clock to morrow morning. Watermelon JnIce for the Complexion. Miss Carrie Townsend, in the St. Louis Globe Democrat, tells the following: "I always have a feeling of pity for girls who have florid or sallow complex? ions, or whose faces are bespattered with freckles, looking as if they had been about when a bran bin exploded. I feel sorry for them, not because of any barm that the freckles do, for really I think them nice, as they are evidences of a pure, light and healthy complexion, but because the removal of them or the sal lowness is so easy if they knew bow. I accidently discovered a sovereign remedy a couple of years ago, which costs next to nothing. "One day the plumber shut our water off and I could get none in which to wash my face. It was fearfully soiled, and, looking out of the window just then, I saw a friend approaching to call on me. Glancing around I noticed half of a watermelon from which the meat had been removed some time before. It was partly filled with juice, and I hastily washed my face in it. The result was so soothing that I repeatedly washed my face in that manner. Judge of my as tonishment, a few days later, on seeing that there was not a freckle left on my face. A number of my girl friends then tried it, and the result was a great beau? tifying of countenances. No matter what is wrong with the face, the juice of the watermelon will rectify it and produce a clear skin." ? According to a recent writer, what Napoleon Bonaparte did with the enor? mous fortune be left somewhere when sent to St. Helene, has since remained a msytery. In 1812 be told Marshal Berthier, and also Bourrienne, bis private secretary, that he had nearly 100,000,000 francs, or $20,000,000 in our money, to his personal fortune. That be did not expend it is certain, for tbere was no occasion to do bo. Then, as Emperor, the national exchequer received and honored bis-drafts. In 1805, Napoleon, after having enriched all his family, bad $15,000,000 of bis own. The money re ceived from the United States for the Louisiana purchase he used in re equip ping the army that fought aud won at Austerlilz and Wagram. At least $5, 000,OCO of that money was never accoun? ted for by the Emperor. Where did he hido this enormoui sum? He was by far the richest man in Europe in 1814, and not a trace of the money was left behind him. The French Government thinks it has a clue. The result will be watched for with tbegreatest interest. The fortune is made the basis of a fascinating and ingenious romance recently issued under the title of "Napoleon Smith." ? A New Yorker is determined not do get left in this campaign. | He has named his twin boys"Benjamin Harrison and Grover Cleveland. He is prepared for both victory and defeat, In a Baa Fix. One day recently a young man wearing Bide-light whiskers, and a Johg, crooked none, betook himself to the classic sands of Isle de Conie With the oolo intention of taking a plunge into the outstretched arms of old father ocean. Having depos? ited a 25-cent piece with the man who is not satisfied with the earth, but wan is to own the ocean, he received a bathing suit made of Kentucky jeans. The suit bad seen its best days, and was rapidly becoming buttonleba and very holey. The lobg-nosed young man managed to hold the suit together until he had buried himself in the surf. Then he took a little dive, Bwara under water for a little distance, and when his bead reach? ed the surface once more he found himself surrounded by a bevy of mer? maids. He felt something entangling his feet, and reaching down he discover? ed that?oh, horror 1?-that the lower part of his suit had dissolved partnership with the upper part. He was in a pretty fix. Summoning a friend he commis? sioned him to go after another suit of Kentucky jeans. While wailing for the return of the friend the young man mod I eBtly swam out beyond the ropes and came near being drowned. i The friend returned with the new suit and then began a struggle with the waves that has never before been equalled. Tbe I young man raised a leg in order to incase it in the new suit. A heavy wave came along and knocked him over. The spec? tators tittered. The girls blushed and the action was repeated. At last, after an hour of hard work, with the assistance of no less than twelve people, tbe young swimmer managed to get into tbe now suit. The young man was very bashful and concluded that he had enough salt water bathing. Once more he stood upon the classic sands of the island in wardly betting himslf 50 cents that he'd never be caught again in a suit of Coney Island Kentucky jeans.?New York Sun. ? In a divorce, suit, decided in New? port on Tuesday, Mrs McLaughlin, who brought the suit, testified that her bus band had the greatest dislike /or his mother-in-law. "On one occasion," said she, "he called my mother an old bald headed gray eagle, a cat and a catamount that would Bet firjs to a barn and- then steal ont the eyes of tbe roasted horses to sell for cat's eye jewels." She got her divorce. A Famous Doctor Once said that the secret of good health consisted in keeping the head cool, the feet warm, and the bowels open. Had this eminent physician lived in our day, and known the merits of Ayer's Pills as an aperient, he would certainly have recommended them, as so many of his distinguished successors are doing. The celebrated Dr. Farnsworth, of Norwich, Conn., recommends Ayer's Pills as the best of all' remedies for " Intermittent Fevers." Dr. I. E. Fowler, of Bridgeport, Conn., says: "Ayer's Pills are highly and universally spoken of by the people about here. I make daily use of them in my practice." Dr. Mayhew, of New Bedford, Mass., says : "Having prescribed many thou? sands of Ayer's Pills, in my practice, I can unhesitatingly pronounce them the best cathartic in use." The Massachusetts State Assayer, Dr. A. A. Hayes, certifies : " I have made a careful analysis of Ayer's Pills. They contain the active principles of well known drugs, isolated from inert mat? ter, which plan is, chemically speaking, of great importance to their usefulness. *It insures activity, certainty, and uni? formity of effect.
