Great Excitement Prevails Over the ‘o‘l'tclu ha Mountain Discoveriel. PERRY, O. T., March 2.-—Advices from the Wichita mountains report that new discoveries of both gold and silver have caused a fresh outbreak of excitement among the prospectors, who for months have been camped on the borders, and the United States authorities have been mak- ing great efforts to prevent digging for The marshals have been arrest-ing any men found on these lands. Old miners say that there is a strip of land b0 miles long and 25 miles wide that is as rich as any gold mine in the west. Professor Andrews, who has been pros— pecting over 50 years, says that within a year the excitement will be as great over the Wichita. mountain gold mines as it was over the goldfields in California in 1849. At one time 20 men were arrested by United States troops, taken to Fort Sill and put in the guardhouse. Many miners are camped on- the border, and many are hiding in caves in the mountains. The Wichita mountains are in the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indian reserva- tions, 100 miles southeast of here. At this time there are no less than 1,000 pros- pectors in the mountains. nxver. ”Call In Inf! BOSTON, March 1.—‘-chterday the police found in the Charles river the dead body of Edward 1’.

A Good Story of Lee's Last Stand and Map hone-’5 Charge. - “Charging is the las. resort of brave but baffled commanders,” said a local critic of military affairs, “and it almost always results disastrous‘y.” Thirty-one years ago the affairs of the Con'cderate army of No: titer-n Virginia were desperate enough to warrant its brave commander, Gen. Robert E. Lee, to resort to charging. SO it came to pass on the morning of the 25th of March, 186:”), he made a break through the Union lines and opened the way to City Point, which, if he could have . reached and held, would have prolonged the civil war for at least another year. The preliminaries were well arranged. First of all a hundred men appeared in front of our picket line and announced themselves as North Carolina deserters. They were all armed. but the officer in charge of our picket welcomed them, and told them to bring in their guns, as Gen. Grant had issued an ordcr com- manding his quart-crmasters to pay for all guns brought in from the rebii’l ranks. So this hundred of armed men were graciously invited to march in behind our pickets. When once there they tuined suddenly upon the astonished Union troops and requested them [0 sur- render in words too impolite to prinl. And the picket- had no choice but to obey. In the rear of the picket line stood forts Haskell and Ste-Jinan, garrisoued by the Fourteenth New York Argillery, several of whom belonged in Utica. In ' the early dawn of that mild Marc; morning the sleeping members of the Fourteenth were awakened by the sharp “.Yil yil” of the rebel troops,who pounced in upon them 10,000 strong or' more. They were under the command ,of Gen. William Mahone, of Virginia. After capturing the Fourteenth they were to move forward to City Point. But here an Obstacle arose that nei- ther Mahone or Gen. Lee had foreseen. That Obstacle was our supolyr of food. It was utterlyimpossible to get the Con- federates, who were actually starving, beyond our soft bread and coffee, our- fresh beef and salt pork. The whole body paused and went to eating, drink- ing and making merry without regard to the conclusion of that familiar say- ing, “For tomorrow we die.” It was all in vain that Gen. Mahone threat- ened and swore and coaxed his men. ' They simply would not stir till they had satisfied their appetites. This pause was the salvation of the Union army. It enabled not only the majority of the Fourteenth to escape from their captors, but allowed the other divisions of the Ninth Corps to come to their relief, so that when the rebels were ready to advance they found the way blocked, and they were coin- pelled to retire from the scene of their victory and‘their breakfast table back to Petersburg badly beaten, and carry- ing with them nothing but very full stomachs. ' The foregoing is a brief but truthful account Of Gen. Lee’s last charge. In a little more than a week from that day evacuated Richmond and Peters- :. and in less than another week he .___rcnclered his entire army to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.—-—Utica Observer. A Bishop’s Experience. Bishop Esher, the well- known divine of the Evangelical Association, took a ride on a Western express train the other day, which would have a very funny side were it not for the fact that the Bishop‘s advanced years made the There is simply no use comparing this piano with any AIN other on the market.

He occupied the pulpit at Grand Prairie, 21]., on Sunday evening, and later went '. J the Wabash station, to take the night express for Chicago, where he had an engagement the next day. Arriving at the station just as the train was leaving, the bishOp hurriedly mounted the steps and turning, waved his hand in farewell to his host on the platform. Then endeavoring to pass in tO‘the car he found himself facing a door of the vestibule closed and locked which he had not noticed before. He knocked and shouted, but the sounds were lost in the rumble of the train and he failed to arouse the porter. Finally the bishop settled himself on the steps of the car, after the manner of an ordinary ride-stealing tramp. Un- der ordinary circumstances he would have been released from his unpleasant quarters in a few minutes, but unfortun- ' ately the train happened to be late and” was going through to Chicago without stopping. It was nearly an hour and a. half before the bishop, covered with cinders and chilled through, was res- cued from his place on the car steps. The Home of a Maine Family. Down near Jonesport the hulk of a schooner lies 'high and dry on the shore. it is slightly careened and the , timbers are not sound enough to take a. swim ill the surge. Yet they can stifii y breast the wind and the sweep of the rain. The schooner is stranded in alonely cove, and doesn’t look very in- viting, yet the family of a. lobster fish- erman dwells here in great comfort. " They have converted it into a sort of a seaside rudder grange. ’Tween decks has been partitioned off, windows have been cut through the deck hull and funnels protruding through the deck carry away the smoke from the two stoves. Within, this extemporized home is fairly cosey, even if the floors do have a tilt to starboard. The chil- dren have lot? of fun rolling marbles down theincline, and as the lady of the house always sweeps "down hill” her work is greatly lightened. A Table of Gems.
