AFTER. BURIED TREASU RE.
Hunters for 380,000 Cached in 01110 A
Century Ago. a.
A company has. just been organized.
in Cincinnati to seek for the famous
Maumee river buried treasure, which
has been thecause of so much anxious
and unsuccessful search. ,
When General Wayne was making
his campaign against the hostile In-
dians in 1794, with an .army of some
400 men, he fought the battle of Fallen
Timbers. The day before that battle
the soldiers were paid in gold by a pay-
master who had arrived from Washing-
ton. Afraid that, in the event of de-
feat, the money might fall into. the
hands of the enemy, it was decided by '
the men to bury it until after the
battle.
Each man wrapped his money in a
handkerchief, marked it with his name
and turned it in to the general collec-
tion. Captain Curtis was selected by
the officers to find a place to bury the
treasure anda detachment of six men
was assigned to do the work. It was
agreed that the survivors of the battle
should see that the money belonging to
fallen comrades reached their families.
About. 380,000 in money and valuables
was thus buried. The entire command
haew’in a general Way that the treas-
nre was to be hidden on the banks of
the Maumee river, near the present site
of Waterville, 0., but no one outside of
the small detachment knew of the exact
spot. It was one of the singular inci-
dents‘Of the battle that followed that
the ofiicer, Captain Curtis, and with one
exception his six men were instantly
killed. The single exception was so
badly injured that he never recovered
consciousness and died Without telling
his secret. The burial place has never
been discovered.
Many were the attempts to find this
money, but with so little encourage-
? ment that of late years all efforts have
been abandoned. Recently, however,
some manuscript by John Panlding,
who was a member of Wayne’s com-
mand, has been found in Pittsburg,
which throws a little light on the prob
able whereabouts .of the money. It
confines the possible hiding place to a
comparatively small area and it is pro
posed to dig. this over thoroughly.
Work is to be commenced at once.—’

MARK' TWAIN ON ”INTERVIEWS.
Interviews, He Says. are No Good. They
are Flufl' and Foam. . -
Mr. Samuel L. Clemens was in Bom-
bay recently, where the Amer-
ican Vice-Consul and other Americans
arranged a formal reception for him.
The humorist reported himself to be in
excellent health, and said that his tour
had been cf great benefit to him in that
way.~ Mr. Clemens chanced to make
some remarks on the subject of inter-
views while in Bombay that are char-
acteristic of him. .
“Of course.” he said, "to a representa-
tive of the Times of India, “every one
has his moods and tenses, and l have
mine, but when I am going round about.
at leisure, as I am now. why, dear me!
I would as soon be interviewed as not!
At the same time there are, it must be
confessed, a hundred thousand objec-
tions to interviewing, and the first one
is naturally this, that when you put
before the whole world in print any-
thing out of your skull, it should, by
Lthe' very nature of the case, be some-
thing worth reading.
“Now, how many men—and I don’t
care how practiced they are even with
the pen—can sit down on a sudden call,
hunt round their head, find a subject,
and write acceptably on that subject?
I could not do it, and I don’t believe
any one cohld do it. Interviewing ne—
cessarily has that blemish; it is surface
talk; it is mere fluff and foam; there is
no substance in it. It has no value; it
has no right to go into print; it is a
waste of the time of a man who stops
to read it; ' ’
“A man sits down and talks in an in-
terview, and he is ostensibly saying
something worth printing, but he knows
all the time that he is not; it would be
a most dazzling action if he ever did
say anything worth printing in such
ciréumstances. Interviewing would be
quite justifiable if the public would
grant that when a man is being inter-
viewed he is not to be expected to say
anything worth ‘ the interviewer’s
trouble in recording. . If that be under-
stood, no harm would be done.
“The interviewer is not a bit {of
trouble to me, or to any one else for the
matter of that, for anyone can talk.
The difiiculty is that talking offhand no
man is likely to say anything worth
preServing. Haven’t you heard a thou-
sand men called on their feet "at dinners
to speak, and it is the most uncommon
thing in the world to find them saying
anything that is worth listening to. If
they had known they were going to be
called on they would make quite a dif-
ferent show, and so it is with inter-
viewing.
“I don’t know of any other objection
toit. In the first place, there is noth-
ing on the spur of the moment worth
talking about, and in the second place,
there comes the question of phrasing.
and it is phrasing that makes a piece
of literature valuable. How are you
going to do your phrasing unless you
get time to think it over and get it
ready? Phrasing is the difference be-
tween good literature and poor, com-’
monplace literature.”
‘A LUCKY SHOT.
AFrlghtened Boy Worked His Repeater
on a Mountain Lion.
Chub Nelson, a boy of 16, living at
Rockdale Wyo., is reported to have
had a lively fight with a mountain lion
a few days ago, in which nothing but
the nerve of the boy saved his life.
While hunting in Cooper Mountain
Nelson ran on to a mountain lion and
promptly took a shot at him. The lion
at once jumped into the air, wounded,
and started to escape. The boy fired a
second shot, hitting the lion in the
shoulder. This shot changed the course
of ”the beast, which turned and came
toward the hunter with angry bounds.
Nelson turned to run, but realizing
that there was no chance to escape by
flight, turned and fired several shots at
the rapidly approaching animal. The
last one took effect in a vital spot, and
the lion fell dead almost at the boy’s
feet. The lion was one of the largest
ever killed in the region. There were
five bullet holes in the body, every shot
fired by Nelson having hit the mark.-—'

THE QUEEN’S DAY OF SECLUSIONI
Queen Victoria Keeps Her Wedding Anni-
. versary in Retirement.
Since 1861 the. 10th of February has
always been one of the days which the
‘ Queen has spent in almost complete se-
clusion. The fact is more, pathetic by
contrast with the festivities which used
to mark the day in the lifetime of the
Prince'Consort. It is 56 years since the"
Queen’s wedding day, but no doubt her
Majesty’s memory‘reCalls the eventful"
occasioh with its wonted accuracy. ‘_
It was a - dull, cheerless, thoroughly
characteristic February morning, as the
young Queen, pale and with downcast
eyes, and obviously anxious and nerv-
ous, dressed in white satin, and wearing
a wreath of orange blossoms, a- pair of
very large and long diamond earrings,
and the Cellar of the Order of the Gar.-
ter, entered the Chapel Royal, St.
J ames’s, to be married.
Within the palace the ladies were
brilliantly dressed, but none of the
lovely colors of to. day being then
dreamed of, the gowns must have hada
somewhat crude effect. 'The most con~
spicuous dresses were of light blue
and white, light green and white, am-v
certain age favoring purple. fawn, and
stone color, and all wearing wedding
favors, some of them‘ being large, ini
tricate constructions of White ribbon,
orange blossoms and silver lace, and
many carrying huge bouquets of orange
blossoms tied with much satin ribbon
and silver bullion cords. The Prince
Consort wore the uniform of a British
Field Marshal, with the Cellar of the
Garter and two big white satin rosettes
on the shoulders, and carried a Bible
bound in green velvet. , .
In walking down the aisle with the
Queen after the ceremony, the Prince
was noticed that, by accident or de-
.ign, the Queen’s wedding. ring was
conspicuously shown. The pallor and
nervousness shown by her Majesty at
first had now all vanished, and on
reaching Buckingham Palace again the
Queen passed through'the hall looking
happy to a degree, and acknowledging
the cheers of those present with the
brightest smiles. Her Majesty’s going-
away dress was of white, made very
simply, and with it the Queen wore a
white satin pelisse trimmed with swans-
down, and a white satin bonnet and
feather.—Lady’s Pictorial.
BEFORE‘ YOU MARaW
A Lot of Questions for Fiatrimgn'i‘al Aspir-
ants to Answer.
Every woman, old or young. goes
through life with the pleasing theory
that it is in her power, the proper op
portunity occurring, of course, to ren~
der some man supremely happy. Few
women probe their inner conscience
sufficiently to learn in what vital re-
spects they may be lacking the elements
of succc-zs. The woman who can truth-
the afilunative is prepared to make a
success of married life, says the New
York World: ‘
Can she cheerfully endure the monot-
ony,- after the first eight weeks of ad-
oration, of the - daily allusion to her in-
tellect? ° ’
Is she sufiiciently meek in Spirit to
hear her pet charities regularly alluded
to as "feminine nonsense?”
Has she solved the burning question
of how “to keep servants in their
places” and to retain them in their
places? .
Can she refrain from defeating her
husband with' logical arguments on a
matter about which she chances to be
well informed? '
Has she the wisdom of a serpent and
more particularly the gentleness of a
dove in dealing with the _ question of
monthly expenses? ~
Is she enough of a philosopher to ap-
preciate the fine distinction made in
classing cigars as a necessity and new
bonnets as a luxury?
Can she carry with her in her matri-
monial venture a patent, indestructible
well regulated smile, warranted to out-
- live every variety of mood that the mas-
culine disposition is" heir to?
Is she thoughtful enough to study the
comfort of her lord and master in every
detail of her household arrangements,
and clever enough not to expect a daily
acknowledgment of the fact?
Has she attained to a degree of moral
her husband’s out of town maiden aunts
on a visit . when her invitations have
just been issued for a swell din-
ner party?
Is she intelligent. enough to manage
all her domestic affairs with judgment
and discrimination, and discreet enough
never'to mar the serenity of the dinner
hour with allusions to her executive
ability? ,
lf Servants are out of the question can
she be her own cook, keep up the piano
practice, do her own sewing, and con
tinue to present the same winning, at
'tractive appearance to her husband she
had during hercourtship?
