Robbing a Robber of his Treasure, In Idaho in Jauary, in 1892, a story was told of the finding of five hun thousand dollars' worth of gold dust in a robbers' cave by a prospector named Robinson, who, with others, after great hardships and incredible" dangers, succeeded in landing the treasure safely to Lewiston, Idaho. The treasure had been buried by the robbers on the.Bitter Root mountains thirty years ago, and Robinson arrived with thirty thousand dollars' worth of it, and formed a party to go in search of the rmaindcr. One of the party, named Anderson, tells the following story of the expe? dition : "When I was asked to join the par? ty," said Anderson, with an air of pardonable pride, "I was told that only men of tried nerve, unquestiona? ble integrity, and unflinching courage should compose the guard. The wa? ges were large and the dangers great. Each man on the force received twen? ty dollars a day and expenses. We had fourteen guards, armed to the teeth and well mounted ; twenty-five pack mules and five trained packers, the whole cavalcade being under the charge of Robinson, the man who found the six hundred thousand dol? lar cache of the robbers. This guard was necessary, as we anticipated being waylaid by highwaymen. "As the snow was already too deep to go into the country by way of Mon? tana and the St. Regis Valley (the nearest route to the cache), we were obliged to take a wide detour through the State of Washington. Then pass? ing through the potlach country, we forded tbe north fork of Clearwater at its junction with the south fork, on the Nez Perce reservation and eutered upon the historic Lo Lo trail, which would take us to our des? tination. "Our camp every night had the ap pearauce of a veritable fortification. Martial law was the rule of the camp. Seven guards were on duty while their associates slept. We were all in a great state of excitement, and as we entered the wild region back of the reservation, in what is called the Wieppe country, and began to meet on the lonely trails Indians and uncouth savage-looking backwoodsmen, I for one began to wish I hadn't come. "Well, our trip into the mountains was uneventful enough, although the snow proved a terrible obstacle (it was then late in November). Wo found it impossible to get nearer than within twenty miles of the cache, so we made snowshoes and sleds, and leaving two men to guard the horses, we set off for the cache. Snow was falling co? piously. Our camp was far up the range, and had it not been for the abundance of grain we had brought with us, our animals would certainly have perished of starvation. The ne? cessity for haste in securing the cash and getting out of the mountains be? fore the snow rendered traveling im? possible added not a little to our ex? citement and aggitation. "Without a suspicion of impending calamity, except on the part of our leader, he believed that we were be? ing followed, our party set forth. Be? fore we had gone five miles a party of twenty masked men swooped down upon our camp, killed the two guards, took possession of the premises, and there lay in wait for our return. Meanwhile we proceeded np the mountain to the robbers' cache. We were supplied with long Norwegian snowshoes and drew a handsled with broad runners, upon which we propos? ed to load three thousand pounds of gold dust. "In due time we reached the cache and so thoroughly had Robinson marked the spot that he had no diffi? culty in finding it. With shovels we cleared away six feet of snow, made an excavation, and the pile of mouldy old buckskin sacks filled with precious dust lay before us. Since my return from this expedition IJiave had a tender feeling for the old pirates of bygone days. They were madmen and irre? sponsible. "As we looked upon that colossal fortune in that lonely mountain glen, with the thick storm sweeping around us and no one to take note of our -ex? ploits, no ears to hear the death-cry of the victim suddenly smitten, only the tall, senseless forest trees to be? hold a possible deed of horror and in justic, each man glared horribly at his neighbor. "Once when one of my associates, a close friend of mine, too, made some uncertain move my blood froze ; I ac? tually thought for an instant that he proposed to butcher us all in order to seize the treasure. The nightmare history of the stuff rose before our fancied vividly. How easily, then, we appreciated the motives of the two soldiers who, in the old lawless days of 1862, slaughtered their associates near that very spot in order to seize this same heap of gold. How leni? ently we judged them. The horror of that tragedy seemed lessened; we were all under the same spell that led those men to stain their souls with crime. "For a few moments we all looked with horrible apprehension upon the actions of our companions, half ex? pecting that murder and treason would be done. But soon our senses re? turned ; we remembered the perils of our situation, and a wholesome and loyal determination to do ouv duty wiped out the hideous suspicions in our minds. Transferring the yellow stuff to stout canvas sacks, wc loaded the three thousand pounds on our sled, and lost no time in leaving the accursed spot through a thick storm of snow. "And now the cunning generalship of our leader became apparent. Al? ways on the alert, he seemed now in? capable of taking rest or sleep. We wore within a few miles of the camp when Robinson halted the procession, and called .1 council of war. " 'Go:;!semen,' said Robinson, 'if wc have been followed, it is most likely that the enemy have captured the camp and are lying in wait for us. I have propared for this contingency. I have marked out a route that leaves the camp a few miles to the right. Now we will follow this route, go into hiding in a certain cave that I know of, then send a man back to camp to see if all is well. If it is, then we will proceed homeward with all speed. If it is not right, but all wrong, we .can hold the fort in the cave, for I (have laid in a large stock of supplies, ammunition and arms, and there we can stand off all the desperadoes in the country.' "Saying this, Robinson turned to the left from the trail we had follow? ed, and very soon came to a prodig? iously long and steep hill, thinly wooded. The snow had ceased falling and we could look down into the deep cannon or valley of one of the numer? ous, unexplored forks of the Clearwa ter. In the bottom of the valley we could see that little or no snow had fallen, indicating a considerably mild? er climate. The hill was miles in length and very steep in places. " 'We must run to the bottom of that hill,' said Robinson. "Thereupon he halted to adjust a rude brake for the sled, when we were startled by the sudden blast of a horn. It was a signal, immediately answered in the distance. The highwaymen had posted sentries in the forest, and our approach had been discovered. "Robinson understood the situation instantly. Our horses were plainly in the hands of the enemy. " 'We must make the cave, boys,' he said. 'It's only five miles, and down hill the entire distance.' "In a moment we were in motion, and were gliding like winged birds down the mountain. But the big sled with the brake hindered us somewhat and looking back when he had made about a mile, we perceived a band of outlaws, twenty in number, loom in sight at the top of the hill, and come sweeping down the steep grade swift as wolves. They were masked, and soon bullets from their Winchesters began to whistle around us. " .'Boys,'said Robinson, 'we must take off that brake, and then keep our feet for a lightning trip to the bot? tom. If a man fs.lls we can't stop to rescue him.' "The brake was removed, and the heavily loaded sled shot ahead like a locomotive. We approached the steepest part of the hill, and swept downward for a half mile or so like birds upon the wing. Then Robin? son, who was in the lead, ran over an uneven spot and broke his snowshoe. With the most surprising quickness he leaped upon the sled, and the race continued without interrup? tion. "In less time than it takes to tell it we were at the bottom of the gulch, and halted at the mouth of the cavern. The sled with its precious cargo was hauled inside, and Robinson led us to his arsenal, a dozen loaded Win? chesters. The next instant our pur? suers swept down to the mouth of the cavern, and were met by a very unex? pected and deadly fusilade from a hid? den enemy. They were taken com? pletely aback in a game in which they thought they had the upper hand! It was all over in a moment, and the out? laws dis appeared, leaving more than half of their number dead upon the field. "To make a long story short, we re? mained in that cavern but a few days, sent spies to our camp, and learned that the survivors of the outlaw band had ridden our animals out of the country. The snow was deepening daily, but Robinson declared that we must get out of the mountains on snowshoes, following totally unfrequented trails, and dragging that loaded handsled with us. He explained that in the spring the outlaws would return in* force and certainly effect our capture if we remained. "Taking from the store of food in the cave enough to last us upward of a mouth, we set out, the thickly falling snow quickly obliterating our trail. For thirty days we toiled through the wilderness like veritable galley slaves. At last, on New Year's Day, we reach? ed a stage road leading to Lewiston, and applying to a rancher, we hired his team and sleigh to haul a load of alleged quartz from a new strike to Lewiston. We said we were prospec? tors, and lost our horses in the moun? tains. "We reached Lewiston without ac? cident, and the half million at last rested safely in the bank. An Incident of the War* I am asked to record the bravest thing done, within my immediate knowledge, in the civil war. On ma? ture reflection, passing by some hair? breadth escapes, I should award the palm to something done by a young assistant surgeon of mine, not quite 21 years old, Dr. Thomas T. Minor, then of Hartford, Conn. It was at an exceedingly convivial supper party of officers at Beaufort, S. C, to which a few of my subalterns had been invited. I saw them go with some regret, since whiskey was rarely used in my regi? ment, and I had reason to think that it would circulate pretty freely at this entertainment. About Dr. Minor I had no solicitude, for he never drank it. Later I heard from some of the other officers present what had happen? ed. They sat late and the fun grew fast and furious, the songs sung becoming gradually of that class which Thack? eray's Col. Newcome did not approve. Some of the guests tried to get away but could not, and those who attempt? ed it were required to furnish in each case a song, a story or toast. Minor was called upon for his share, arid there was a little hush as he rose up. He had a particularly pure and boyish face, and bis manliness of counte? nance was known to all. He said : "Gentlemen. 1 cannot give you a song or a story, but I will offer a toast, which I shall drink in water, and you shall drink as you please. That toast is 'Our mothers.' " Of course an atom of priggishness or self-consciousness would have spoiled the whole suggestion, No! such quality was risible. The shot told; the party quieted down from that moment and soon broke up. The next morning no less than tree officers from different regiments rode out to my camp, all men older than Dr. Mi? nor and of higher rank, to thank him for the simplicity and courage of his rebuke. It was from them I first learned what had happened. Anyone who has had much to do with young men will admit, I think, that it costs more courage to do what he did than to ride up to the cannon's mouth. It may interest some readers to know that this young surgeon after the war had charge of two different military hospitals on the Pacific coast, that he finally became mayor of Seat? tle, and that, when he was accidental? ly drowned on a hunting trip, ten thousand poople?so the newspapers said?walked in procession at the fun? eral. _ That Smile. A good story was told in one of the committee rooms at the capitol the other day touching the Senatorial ca? reer in Washington of the Hon. Sam Houston, of Texas. It was some time in the forties, not long after Houston had come to the Senate. The great Texan was attended by a faithful black from Virginia bearing the dis? tinguished name of Richard Henry Lee. Richard proved himself a good body servant in all things save one. He attended faithfully on every want of his eccentric master, who was keep? ing bachelor's quarters, but no argu? ment was sufficiently persuasive to in? duce Richard Henry Lee to keep the rooms in order. A general air of slothful neglect marked the surroundings of their do? mestic establishment, and time and again Houston threatened to have Richard flayed and his black hide hung o ,er the backyard fence as a frightful example to all evil-doers. Things ran on in this way until one day Houston returned to his rooms from the Senate and found *he condition of affairs at home so bad thut he determined then and there to teach his flunky a good lesson. He deliberately locked the door, and without saying a word cross? ed over to a table where he kept his pistol case, removed two pistols, load? ed them, handed one to Richard and took the other himself. "Now, Richard Henry Lee," he be? gan in a low vice that foreboded ill, "you stand in that corner while I take my position in this, opposite you, face to face, man to man, pistols in hand. You have betrayed my confidence and trampled upon my feelings until pa? tience has ceased to be a virtue. I have reasoned and pleaded with you to maintain my rooms in that Btate of cleanliness to which, as a free born Texan, I am accustomed, andyouhave baseiy ignored my wishes in the prem? ises, and have gone on in your sloth? ful, shiftless ways without regard either to my feelings or my comfort. Now, you infernal scamp, I have made I.up my mind to kill you. I could do so without giving yoa a show for your life, but absolute fairness shall dis? tinguish the method of your taking off. Get into your dace, and when I I drop this red bandanna handkerchief, shoot! If you kill me, so be it. I forgive you now. If I kill you, it won't make any difference anyhow. You are good for nothing, and your removal will be a blessing to society. Remember, however, that no man ever faced me with a pistol in his hand and lived to tell it." With ashen face Richard Henry, who, despite his negligence, loved his master most devotedly, took his stand in the corner assigned him and me? chanically followed Houston's mo? tions. The Texan took a handker? chief out of his pocket, which he held aloft as a signal, and then raised his pistol with the other hand to a level with his lackey's heart. As he did so an involuntary smile flitted across his face, and instantly Richard dropped his pistol, while his face spread out into a huge smile. "I say, Mars Sam," he shouted in a transport of rejoicing, "I thought yo' raly meant it; but yo' just pokin' fun atme. Goramity," he added, with a sigh of relief, "it makes me shiver to think how near yo' was to death I Dat smile was all dat saved yo' life." Houston told the story as a good joke on himself, assuring his hearers that he was positive .Richard would have killed him if. he had carried the joke a hair-breadth further.? Wash? ington Post. ?

Noteworthy Changes in Laws* John Randolph Tucker, president of the American Bar Association, in his annual address before that body this year, gave an interesting resume of noteworthy changes in the laws of the several States which have taken place this year. Some of the new laws arc curious, and have much public in? terest. From President Tucker's resume it appears that the Australian ballot law, or a modification of it, has now been adopted in thirty-six States. Three States have passed laws requiring voters to possess moral and education? al qualifications. Idaho prevents po lygamists from voting, and in Maine and Massachusetts the voter must be able to read the State Constitution in the English language, write his name and not be "a pauper or under guardi? anship." Mississippi, before the present year, had placed an educational test for suf? frage in its constitution. Another class of enactments .has been passed by several States to protect the ballot and secure political independence. In Wyoming it has been made a crime to discharge an employe because he has been nominated for an office. Califor? nia has made it penal to enclose wages in pay envelopes on which any politi? cal arguments or the names of party candidates are printed. Michigan has a unique law, author? izing the courts to send one convictec of drunkenness to a gold cure institu? tion for treatment at public expense, instead of to jail. Another liquor law, that of Arizona, indirectly per? mits the sale of intoxicants to minors in a new enactment, which makes it an offense to sell liquor to minors "without the consent of parents or guardians," but minors must be ex? cluded from the saloous. There has been considerable legisla? tion in regard to truancy and compul? sory education, and prohibiting the employment of children who have not had schooling. Rhode Island and Minnesota have been added to the States which furnish free school books. Illinois has made a concession to public sentiment against the un? necessary exhibition of prisoners by requiring police patrol wagons to be covered. New Jersey has earned the distinction of being the only State which has during the year made race track gambling lawful. Massachusetts has enabled towns to provide public playgrounds. Rhode Island is among the States which have shown a disposition to loosen the marriage tie in a law which authorizes the courts to grant an ab? solute divorce where the parties have lived separately by mutual consent for at least ten years. Colorado al? lows divorces where either of the par? ties has been a habitual drunkard for one year. Where changes in the laws have been made the tendency has been toward greater laxity in granting divorces. Better Than a Pension. "A month or so ago," said the drummer, I stopped over night at a small tavern in Illinois and before retiring I sat for an hour in the room used for an office talking to two or three men, one of whom, a lame man, was to occupy the double room with me. I went up to bed some time before he did and when he came I was snugly tucked away, but not asleep. " 'By the way,' he said, 'you were talking about pensions down stairs, weren't you. " 'Yes, I rather believe in pensions economically administered.' " 'So do I,' he said carefully taking off his glasses and with them a wax nose, which he laid on the table some? what to my discomforture, 'but I don't believe in being indiscriminate'?here he fished out a glass eye and put it in a tumbler of water and then took out his teeth and put them with the eye. I couldn't say anything and he went on. "I know men who are to-day getting from $10 to $50 a month'?he removed his wig and hung it up carefully? 'who do not deserve it any more than my grandmother does, and I hate to see'?by this time he had off his coat and collar, and, removing his left arm, he placed it on the bureau?'good de? serving men getting a miserable little pittance whose records are stories of bravery and daring'?at this point he sat down, kicked off his trousers and one shoe, took off a cork leg and laid it by the am and I was about ready to jump out. of the window. " 'Good Lord, man,' I almost yelled, as I sat up in bed, 'don't you get a pension ?" " 'Of course not,' he answered, with a look of surprise. 'I was in the army four years, but I got this in a railroad wreck and the company had to put up $50,000 damages. That beats a pen? sion all to pieces.' Then he put out the light, hopped over to his own bed and I had nightmare and jimjams till daylight, dressed with my eyes shut and got out an hour before my disin? tegrated friend did."?Detroit Free Press. flrlnklng Water. A glance through the lens of a good microscope at the settlings in the bot? tom of the water pail would make many a good housekeeper shiver with horror. The innocent little wrigglers she might find there would be trans? formed into dragons, from which, if they were as large to the naked eye as they seem through the lens, she would flee with quaking terror, and she would shrink from giving her child water to drink (or it would seem, looking through the lens, to eat) with masses of vegetable organ? isms in it. Water that is boiled is freed from living germs. A good filter will remove them. Distilling rids the water of them. In all cases of bowel trouble it is impossible to be too careful of the purity of the water given the patient to drink. It ifl safer to cool it by putting it in a sealed bottle, in contact with the ice, than to put ice iu it, as ice itself is often a source of danger from the germs existing in it. Choking in Cattle. Somewhere in the past few months I have read of this remedy for a choked animal: Take a round stick, in size perhaps one or two inches, and in length six or eight inches ; tic a cord on each end, and put it in the animal's mouth the same as a hit in a horse's mouth, tying the cord back of th horns. Last evening I found a nice heifer with an apple in her throat. She was quite badly bloated?in fact, in a condition where something must be done for relief soou or I should be minus a heifer. Being aloue I could not push it down, and to snap it out with my thumbs was impossible; so I tried the stick-in-the-mouth remedy. It worked like a charm, and in forty minutes from the time the stick was put in her mouth the apple had be? come soft and gone on into her stom? ach. As I remember the idea given, it was that the keeping the mouth open prevented attempting to swallow, and that would prevent the bloating, and the working of the tongue would create saliva which would digest the apple, or potato, or whatever might be the cause. But it does not matter what the theory was ; practically it is a success, and the remedy is worth putting in your hat where you will not forget it. This one instance has saved me enough to pay the cost for the year of every agricultural paper I take, and I wish to present it to oth? ers.?H. S. Matteson. The Green Cabbage Worm. This is most easily destroyed by sprinkling a solution of saltpetre on the leaves. This kills the small worms before they have done much mischief. It is much less trouble than picking off the worms, but this may be done when only a few plants are grown in a small garden. The solution may be sprayed on the plants by a suitable force pump. Such a machine is made and sold by dealers in agricultural implements, to be strapped to a man's back and carry the supply in a small tank, the liquid flowing from it through a fine nozzle as the man walks along. For a few plants the hand rubber sprayer or a large syringe may be used. It is said that wheat bran sprinkled over the plants will keep off the worms, but it is not so effective as the salpetre solu? tion. The parent of this worm is a white butterfly with small black spots on the wings ; if this is caught by a small hand-net, it will prevent the laying of hundreds of eggs, and as many worms which will have to be killed otherwise.?Selected. ?

A London coroner the other day found that the death of a young girl was caused by poison from the dye in her stockings. The girl bruised her ankle, making a small wound, but she thought nothing of it until the next day, when the leg was found to be inflamed and sore. It got worse rapidly, and she was Bent to the hospital, where in a short time, she died from blood poisoning. The physician said that there was no doubt that the dye of the stocking poisoned the open wound in the leg. The stockings were of a dark-blue color, but what was the dye stuff is not stated. V Your ?
