Forty-six dollars waa found upon his person. - Union Times. The Alsaciens and Lorrainers are not only retaining their French nationality with striking unanimity, but are also sending their children to Franoe to be educated. A recent train from Stras? burg to Nancy had on board 200 Alsacien youtbB, who had been sent by their parents to finish their studies in France. They were accompanied by twenty pro? fessors, who were bunt upon shaking the alien dust of Alsace from their feet. LITTLE MOSES.-A babe, alive and hearty, was found floating down the Ooosa River in a cradle last week. The little waif was taken in charge and cared for. This is the second case of the sort on the same river within a recent period. A California man requested his wife in a ball-room to hold the baby of nnother man's wife, while he danced with the baby's mother, but she didn't hold it. Some wives are too disobedient to put up with. On Saturday night last, Riley James, (colored,) was shot in the left breast with a pistol in the hands of W. D.

Tbe following story, as reported to ne, bas mnob of romance in it, but tbe fu? ture may demonstrate its truth, revolu? tionize commerce, and mnko the pos? sessors of tbe marvelous talisman the veritablo Midas of tbe nineteenth cen? tury. It is no less tbuu tho dhovery of a chemical process, which, when appliei to base metals, transmutes them iuto gold-pure, shining, veritable gold. The rumors of the diamond discoveries in Arizona bavo somewhat precipitated the disclosures of the facts wo are about to relate, und though ut the risk of break? ing faith with our informaut, wo consi? der his statement too import-nit to be withheld from the public. Some three months ago, a plain-look? ing man, of American birth, presented himself nt one of our leading banks and solicited an interview with the manager. Tho manager was very muoh occupied with his cares, over-burdened with offors of paper for discount, and harassed with the prospects of losses on loans, for which he held collateral in the shape of mining stocks, seemingly descending on his hands. He surveyed his supposed customer, and almost before the first words of salutation had fallen from the newcomer's lips, ho said: 4,No, Bir; can't do it. Very sorry, but have gone beyond our limit to accommo? date our owu customers. Doing no? thing on the outside to-day, at any rates.' Tho stranger mudo no reply, but de? posited a leatbern valise on thu banker^ desk, opened uud took from it a mass ol dingy metal, looking half liko coppui and half like brass, nud hauded it tc him. Tho mau of money examined ii curiously, aud returned it, saying ho wai uo judge of mineral substances, und hat no time to study this particular speci men. The stranger asked him if he wouh know gold if ho saw it; and, if not would ho bo kind enough to send fo some confidential person, on whose judg uient he could rely, to assuy and deter miue the quality aud value of his lum] of metal. Tho proposition was roluc taLtly ucceded to. One of our mos * prominent assayers was summoned, an after examining the substance and in quiring, with visible excitement, wher ic came from, and receiving no satisfac tion, departed, taking it with him, prc misiug to report on it the next day b one at noon. Punctually at the aj poiuted time tho three men mot at tb bank. The assayer produced tbe meta which had been ruu into the form of bar, uud had all the uppearauce of tl ordiuary gold ingot of commerce. ?.That looks like gold," said tl banker. "It is gold," said the assayer, "near a thousand fine-the purest I have ev put in a crucible." The stranger said nothing. The ethe plied him with questions concerning tl source from whence it came. He civil but firmly declined to furnish any i formation, requesting them, as a furth test of its genuineness, to send it to tl mint, in tbis city, for coinage. To th; they assented, and the bar was sent, wi other bars, to the mint. It was the again submitted to the tests usual Buch oases, and the next day its val was ie tu rued in double eagles-son thing more than ?58,000-which v? placed to the credit of the now d?cid?e interesting stranger. For nearly a wei nothing was seen of him or heard frc him. The banker was in a fever of < citement. He could think of nothi but the owner of the gold. Ho ran 01 all the mining uews of tho publio pr for some record of a strike in tho go producing districts; and, if the tri must be told, he waited for some inte genoe of an audocioua robbery of t treasure-box of an up-country stage of the rifling of somo bank or asi office, in which his now- friend :-ho play a prominent part. So well satisfied was he of the corr? ness of this latter conjecture that he 1 about advertising the possession by li under peculiar circumstances, of u la quantity of refined gold, when the positor appeared, bringing with hir much larger piece of tho samo meta formerly, which, with some ceremi and dignity, he submitted for iuspecti This was done, and then tho stran inquired if the banker was entirely sn fled of its genuineness. "Perfec perfectly," was the answer, "where you get it?" The answer nearly caused him to fa He eat for a few moments like one i trance. His ears wore filled with ?tra sounds. His eyes grew dim. His ha trembled nervously, and his heart be queer tattoo whioh alarmed him for personal safety. It was a very brief swer, yet in it were involved the r. momentous consequences to comme to the vast system of labor and ca] employed in the mining enterprise the State, to the precious metal bas: trade in every land, and to tho mui nance evon of government itself, contained a revolution within itself, is no wonder that the amazing disolo almost unmanned the listener, stanger quietly said: "j made it myself;" and after a pr he added: "I can make it by tho toe oan freight a ship with it within a m from the time I have enlarged my sent laboratory, ns I am now abut do." The banker plied him with quest as to its looality, and with prayers I permitted to visit the scene of his volons labors, hut to no purpose, then held up before tho discovero powor whioh they could wield ii community, tho vast possessions w they might acquire, and the certain making together a fame unequaled the world began. He ropresenti him the impossibility of concoah: except with the aid of one situated himself, who could turn this now fl sion into the now steady money titi commercial exchanges and swell wi! destroying them. He attempted to him the dunger to himself from thc grin of those whose values he migb pair or destroy, and the need of caution in utilizing for himself his terrible secret. His hearer sat with imperturbable couuteuanou until the close nf the bank? er's h a ru uy ne, and then replied: "I will make you the depositary of my gold. You may control its issue, and we will together share tho power it brings. But my process must remain forever in my heart. I shall never reveal it. I will bring you iu a very few days more than you have now in your vault?. My laboratory is near the new park, in a building which would attract uo atten? tion, nave from its dilapidated appear? ance. I was at work there during the most of the past winter, and have by de? grees succeeded in makiug myself quite comfortable without attracting attention. I have several ways of access to it, aud never use the samo way twice in succes? sion. I admit I havo experienced 6ome fear of discovery aud uttnek; but my guards are my dogs, and they aro faithful and silent. There is now more danger than ever in tho increasing volume of my product, which will need other means of transporting raw material and bringing it back in tho shupe of gold than tliiri old valise and my hands." He then turned to a convouieut table and wrote a few lines, which he sealed in au envelope und handed to the banker. "There is the direction to my retreat. I shah Hurn in a week willi more gold, and if I fail to come, you may know some evil hus befallen me. Then come to me." The banker promised faithful observ? ance of the injunction, uud with many protestation:! of mutual fidelity aud good? will, they parted. The paper hus never been opened, aud tho manufacturer of gold has steadily and punctually re-ap? peared, bringing his weekly enormous udditions to tho bullion of thebault. It is said that more than half a million bavo been manufactured within the pust two mouths and deposited in the bank. Some of it hus boon converted into coin and put iu circulation. Many of our readers who believe they are handling the products of our gold miues, now daily receive and pay out this substance, oroated from base metals by ono of our most unobtrusive citizens, ?jomo of it has been run into tho customary form of burs, and, stamped with tho brands and records of our most famous refinery, has been shipped abroad, as the basis of ex? change for a banking institution on a colossal soale, to be established ou the comparatively small beginning of one of our noted banks, and the effort will be mude to make San Fraucisco the centre of all commercial exchanges and tho great depository of the products of the world. The scheme is vast, proportioned to the power which two men hold in their grasp. It is frightful to reflect what may be the result of their ambi? tion, if it should pass beyond its present reasonable limits. No human imagina? tion cun conoeive the end to whioh the wealth of our moderu Midas and his banker may bring all established modes of doing business, and indeed, us we have said, the Government itself. [San Francisco Chronicle. \ An interesting young lady was arrested in Kansas City, a few days ago, and gave the following account of herself: She was born in Virginia, und when quite young, ran away with a circus. After performing for several years as a female gymnast, she learned the shoe-maker's trade, passing herself off as a, man. Sbe then tried blacksmithing awhile, and j shod horses in tho army. Being taken prisoner, she revealed her sex, and so getaway. Since then, she has boen a rough, quarreling, gambling, drinking, righting, working ou u railroad, getting in and out of jail, &e.

Aug 81 2 THU BOLTERS' RATIITCATION MEETING* According to announcement, the bolters, or, us they term themselves, the true Re? publican party, held their ratification meeting, ut the City Hall square, last uight. At about 8 o'clock tbe dusky clans began to assemble around their general loafing ph co, the Court House,, und ut the hour designated for the speaking about 1,500 or 2,000 persons had gathered together. It was venti? lated quito freoley on tho streets during the day that tho old wur of the Mackey ites uud tbe Boweuites was to be fougut over, and the former parly were quito free and open in their threats to break up tho bolters' mooting in a row. For this once, however, they made a mistake. The bolters knowing the strength of tho Court Houso ring ia the city took the precaution to send over to the surrouuding islands for reinforce? ments, and promptly to time there ar? rived a regiment of the dusky tillers of the sea island soil, all staunch adherents of Bowen, who were at once formed into line directly in front of the speaking stand. Tho presence of this "armed force" had tho effect of somewhat dis? concerting tho Court Houso ring, and although they managed during the con? tinuance of the meeting, under the in? fluence of frequent potations of tangle? foot, to keep up a ruuniug fire of inter? ruptions, they were rather intimidated from going the length of their instruc? tions uud breaking up the moetiug in u row. The President W. H. Thompson, c colored man, oponed the ball by intro? ducing tho bolters' candidate for.Qovern or, Hon. Reuben Tomlinsou. He saie that ho did not occupy the position fron choice; he would much ruther a native South Carolinian had been selected tc bead tho reform ticket, but as ho hue been selected, he would not refuse to ac cept the duty imposed on him. It mat lered very little to him, personally, whe thor he waa elected or not, but he re gurded it as important to the Rep?blica! party that some one in it should refusi to follow the present leuders of it in thi State. A voice-"How about that phosphab bill?" Mr. Tomlinsou was not to bu disturb ed by any snob character. If any mai of character would come forward au accuse him of corruption or wrong, h would answer the charge, but he did nc iuteud to take notice of such trash. H had advocated the ro-election of Scott i 1870, because he kuew nothing of th frauds siuco revealed. But now it ws well kuown that there existed no enc stumbling block to the success of tb National Republican party as thecharai ter of that party in South Carolina. H then pitched into the State House orowc and claimed for his party that they it tended to oarry on a government i South Carolina whioh should be charm terized by some reasonable degree < character and honesty. He.was not 1 be frightened by being called a carpe bagger. He inteuded to live and die i South Carolina, although there w nothing worth living for here at tb time. He olaimed that the regulars bi carpet baggers ou their ticket, and i laded to the ubiquitous Mr. Sol?me H?ge as a pattern, whose facility f jumping from one office to another w not to be excelled. The next speaker was General W. Whipper, the colored Repr?sentai from Beaufort, who attempted to ma a speech, but who was complete choked off by the Court House rin He announced his intention to snppc the bolters' ticket, and said he intend to make his little speeoh if he had wait there all night. Here a voice i the outskirts of the orowd yelled oi "Whipper, shut up dat d-d nonsense Whipper managed to finish his speec anil gave way to Corbin. Tho multitudinous Senator had a hs time of it. His appearance was t cignal for a general chorus of hoots a yells from tho tangle-footers. But put on an extra pressure of steam, a begun by telling how he had gone to( luaibia to help make laws, [and, criei shrill voice in the crowd, to fill ye pockets. I He hud learned last wint for tho first time, that the party had \ thieves und scoundrels into office, wb he now avowed he intented to prosee with the same vigor that he prosecu tue Ku Klux. Mr. Cyrus Gaillard, a gentleman color, was next introduced, aud ' greeted with cries of "Shut your d mouth 1" "Come down, you bl sucker!" and other abjurations of eq persuasiveness aud inelegance. But l doughty warrior was fully a match tho blackguards who interrupted h aud paid thom back in the same ci Said he, "When you niggers talk ab carpet-baggers, you forget who strook the shackles of slavery from you, ? i some of you d-d villains ought tc j back in Blavery now." In response 1 persuasive iuvitafion from a bloc Mackeyite to "come down hero, black devil, and let me punoh you," Gaillard replied, "Ef you don't wan hear me, lef, and don't loaf about he Gaillard was more than a match thom, and had his say out iu comp live peace. The introduction of Senator Sav was the signal for a general rumpus, a dead set was made by tho Mackey to prevent him from speaking, 'I seemed to regard him as their legitir prey, and every time he opened mouth to speak, greeted him with ; and hoots. "Fellow-citizens," he begi (yells.) "No true Republicans"-(j and "now about that civil rights t from ouo cf the crowd.) "I say," I tinned tho Senator, undismayed, "tl a man can't speak in this assemblai is iu vain that the manacles have stricken from your hands. You oagl hang your heads in shame that yoi fuse to hear a mau who has been h ; ing night and day to give you the i I privileges that other people enjoy. I mon who are interrupting this mei are slaves to one of the moat conter ble pimps and panderers to the ring-a man who obtained, through my bonnty, tho money with which he is paying for the whiskey he gives you now." A voioe-How about that blockade stock? Mr. Sawyer-Has it come to thie Another voice-Como down, old gen? tleman Mr. Sawyer-That a Republican can'fc speak? Another voice-Go back to de free schools. Mr. Sawyer-Talk about the civil rights bill. I tell you that two years more of plnudering of the State Trea? sury, like what has been done last year, and you colored people will have no more use to talk about the supplemental oivil rights bill. Several voices-Blockade stock ! Block? ade stock! Bah! Here the rabble becamo BO noisy that the distinguished United States Senator oould not be heard, and, therefore, con? cluded his remarks with a very exalted idea of the beauties of Republicanism as practiced in South Carolina. Tim. Hurley was next introduced, and at once became master of the situation. His quick wit and ready ropartee ob? tained for him that hearing which none of the other speakers could get. At first, he was interrupted by a shower of ques? tions, and one fellow, more loud-mouthed than the rest, wanted to know how about buying the Legislature. "Shut up," re? plied the facetious Hurley; "I don't want to buy you, because there is some meat that stiuks so bad that even I don't want to buy it." This eliot told on the rabble, and Tim. was master of the situa? tion. He continued his speech in com? parative quiet, and made a very effective one, too. - Cfiarleston Courier. INFLUENCE OF MUSIC OH ANIMALS. We have just been reading a very inter? esting essay regarding the influence of music on animals. The writer shows how various animals, and even insects, are influenced by a concord of sweet sounds. We have noticed the same thiug, and thought nothing particular about it nutil we stumbled on thia article. We remember how we have seen horses influenced by music. One of the most enjoyable runaways we ever ex? perienced can be directly traced to the influence of music on a horse. We wero driving past whore a band was playing, and tho music bad moro influence on tho horse than we bad. H 3 didn't keep time though. In fact, he didn't keep anything, harness, buggy, or anything else. He only kept ruuning. I nevor? thought musio could have such influence on a horse. He beat time,, too. That is to say, ha beat any time we ever saw bim make before, even before a- Balky. We would have - kept that horse to run against time, if he hadn't run against a lamp post and ruined himself. Music influ? ence a horse? Guess not. i Horses are excellent musical perform j ere themselves, sometimes. We have known a hungry horse to go through all the bars of au oat field correctly, and never miss an oat, although the owner of the oats miesed all of bia. Dogs are singularly affected by music. We whistled after a strange dog once, * we remember. The dog stopped, lis? tened attentively, looked a moment ead, us though the notes awoke some tender memories within him, and then came bounding towards os and embraced the oalf of our leg in the most affectionate, manner. He could hardly tear himself away, and wouldn't if his owner hadn't como and choked him off. There is a power of music in a tin ket? tle when properly brought ont. We saw one brought out the other day by some boys, who attached it to a dog's tail. Talk about the influenoo of musio on animals! We never saw a dog so moved in all our life. Cats uro strangely influenced by the musio of a violin. It seems to affect their entire system. In fact, there could be no violins without doing violins to the cats. Even a very young kitten, who don't realize what he has got toc?me to, mews plaintively when a fiddle-bow is drawn across the strings. It seems to vi? brato a sympathetic chord within hi3 owu abdominal enclosuro. It is affect? ing, the mews of a young kitten, or to see a young kitten muse. Birds, never brought up on musio at all, are brought down by the musio of a shot-gun. Many of the wild animals aro charmed with musio. We often hear music that nothing but a wild animal would bo charmed with. The Tyrolians entice a party of stags by einging, merely entices a "stag" party. The female deer is allured by playing the flute. We had a female deer once, whom wo attempted to allure with a flute, but the dear female said she was accustomed to do her own "fluting." So we let her flute. The elephant, huge as ho ia, has a wonderful ear for musio. One of his ears would make a bass drum bead. Ho is fond of a march, if he don't have to march too far. He is also partial to a gallop; if it is a gal up. We saw a musio teacher fooling with an elephant once. The elephant pioked his pooket and marched off with a whole trunk full of sheet music. Among insects the spider is found to ho very fond of musio. His favorite vo? calists are the Webb sisters. His favor? ite ballad "Come fly, to my bower;" it is a right bower, and wo pity any fly that comes there. Work wearies, but worry wears. Auction Salo?. Horte?, Wagon and Harness. BY D. C.
