Queer Story of Remarkable Hnnt lor ooieu Theodore KlrcbnofT, late of San Francisco, contributes to tbe Gartanlaube, a German journal, a very curious account oranoia bunt, the labeteoeei or wblob Ii as roiiows: On the 29th of February last tbe brig Laura let sail from San Fraoolsco, having on board provisions and neoeserlea for eight monthi' nse, and carrying ai Ita crew Caps- Thomai Welsh aod his wife Elisa, and eight members of the "South Paoiflo Treasure Prospecting Companyr" Tbey expected to find coin and jewela to tbe amount ol $65,- 000,000 -all stowed away, according to Cant. Welsh's account, by a pirate crew of which be la the only survivor. It to a wild itory that he tells a mixture apparently ef tbe old buccaneering narratives, the senti mental novel of ibe punultlmate generation, and the modern romance of Dumas.

With him wai taken a yonng girl bli play-fellow Eliza, now bli wife. Young Welsh twas locorpsrated Into tbe pirate crew. Hia captain'! snip became me terror of the Weat India sets, aod ita success em boldened the captain to more and more en terprising measuree.

The pirate brig carried one hundred and lixty men from tbe British islands and eight gnor From time to time the captain made re cruit! from tbe coasts of Chilli and Peru, and made friendly connection! with the people in those parti In order to keep up bli knowledge of tbe Spanish maritime movement!. Hit captured treasure became at last to large that be sought a place where to deposit It, aod disoovered. TBI COCO!

Here wai a bill of moderate height, aod inside it a oavarn, where tbe treasure waa oarefully stored away. After counting over it! amount and covering tbe ipot from observation, the buccaneers re turned to Ibeir trade. The whole maraud ing party with tbe exception of Welsh aod Eliza, who got off in a boat, were surprised aod cut to pieeei wben laying their plan' for an attack on one of tbe ricbeat cities on the coaat of South America. Thirty yeata alter In Ibe year 1850 Welsh and Eliza turned up In San Francisco. Tbey tell this tale, and add that In the Interval tbey have been living at New Tork, in New Zealaad and elsewhere. In 1855 tbey actually per suaded some adventurara in Sao Fraoolsco to atari on the search of Cocoa Island. Tbe expedition proved fruitless. Bu I In 1867 a company wai formed for tbo discovery o' the hidden treasure, aod Welab was plaord In command of a schooner called the Petrel. Again Ibe enterprise rroved abortive.

Tba whole, itory of tbe Coooa Island treasure waa a monstrous swindle, people now proclaimed. Aod yet "hope springs eternal in the human breast,'' and we find that in 1870 Welch waa taken on board as a pasaeoger and guide by a par ty of diaoovery sent ont undet tbo auspices of tbe goveromeut of Costa Rica; aad tbla time It ia averted that tbey reaobed.

After returning to Sen Fran clico, Welch'! wife took ap tbe trade of a magoatio medium, and prophesied all aorti of wooden about the Cocoa Island treasure; and found an audienoe credulous enough lo accept ber stories, aod rich enough to lorm a oew company aod fit out a new expedition for the recovery of tbe mythologies! hoard.
