' The Wreck of the Frigate Hussar.
The Chicago Republican in speaking of a
new and apparently thoroughly successful
• diving bell or submarine explorer says
The experiments made with the explorer
yesterday were in the vicinity of the wreck
of the English. frigate Hussar. This vessel
formed part of, the English fleet during the
%Revolutionary war, and on board of her
was kept.the treasure for the Payment of the
Britishariny. On the 25th of November,
- :.1780, (Evacuation Day), the officers of the
vessel,. knowing ofthe vicinity of the French
fleet, attempted to escape by running the
'' . ftigate up the East river. She struck, how
`,ever, on Pot Rock, at Hell Gate, and sus
tained serious damage.' Her officers 'sailed
her on for about a mile, to what was then
• known as Port Morris, now the foot of One
Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, supposing
that they would there find ~ s hallow water.
In fact, howeirer, they had unwittingly se
lected the deepest part of the river, the ves
„gel having at least seventy feet of water be
neath her keel. A hawser was got out and
:made fast to a huge oak tree on the bank of
the river, and in a few minutes afterward
an - alarm was` raised that the vessel was
sinking. So rapidly did she settle down
. that ,the officers were compelled, to rush
ftrom their cabins,. leaving their clothing
- and even their swords, money`and jeweled
• , snuff-bOxes - behind them. On the lower
deck were eighty American prisoners in
inithaeles. No attempt was or ' could be
made to save them, add every man, so far
;as known,perished. The hawser which
had been ade fast to the oak tree exerted
such a strain upon the tree that it tore it up
by the roots. NOt far &dm where the ves
sel went dotia,'Gov. Morris had an elegant
rtituisiona field of yaw:lo°m now waves
over its sight—where he afforded , , accom
' ziedations f'or thenight.,to the officers of the
ill-fated Hussar. the arrival of these
'gentlemen in England a court-martial was
held, and 'front the evidence then given it
::appeared that the Hussar had on board at
the time she sunk, 900,000 George 111.
luineas,Which were packedin fifty two iron
,boxes bound .withcopper, and. built into the
_run of tite.vessel. There can
' therefore be
no doubt that the treasure is lying at the
;bottom of the-river, to reward , the luck or
perseVerence of some one. •
In 1794 • the English Government sent
*over two -brigs with men and implements
to raise the frigate: but after two seasons of
fruitless labor theyleft. In 1819 they made
a second attempt to raise her 'with the most
powerful machinery known, but the-work
men were- ordered off by the American
and
on the ground that the vessel
and all she contained were prizes of war.
The wreck was allowed.to rest for a time,
but in 1848 other attempts were made to re
cover the treasure. An organization known
as - the Frigate 11111 par ccimpany, was form
ed, and constant attempts were made to
discover the treasure without success. Up
t• o 1867 the 'company had expended $60,080
in its fruitless search. This company now
lutve a contract withldessrs. W. R. Taylor
• and J. A. Weesse, owners of the submarine
explorer, to raise the treasure of 'the Hussar
on a salvagiof thirty per cent.
' The explorations in and, around the wreck
of, the Hums, which have been made from
time to time, have resulted in the discovery
.of the officers' swords, which were left in
their. cabins, a superb' gold jewelled snuff
box, a small box of lignum vita;, containing
gold coin, 125 gurueaa,” 26-cannon, 4,000
balls, a number of muskets; bullets, buck
ets bearing the name Hussar, bottles of
I porter, and_ gun Several skeletons,
or parts of skeletons, with mantles on the
wrists, have also been discovered. Of the
cannon raised, 'Vivo were . presented to the
English Government, and several are still
to be seen in the arsenal at the Central
Park.
The Worth of Rags.
,The manufacture of paper for-writing and
•
printing ptuposeit •is one of the most Inter,
eating as well as important branches of in
dun" . in all civilized - parts of the_ world.
It is the' growth of centuries and the steady
accompaniinent of civilization. The reader,
of the delicately;, tinted "last poem" or the
morning newspaper, would doubtless be as
tonished could he know ,the history of_ the,
particles:otlinen and cotton whiCh compose
the page before him. '-- Every one knows
that , paper Is made of rags, but it is not
every one who reflects, when he takes up a
book -or paper, that' he' may be making a
use of his own old, clothes, or possihly. of
• the clothei of a-Hungarian soldier or Bee
ouin Arab.
The chief importation of rags into this
cOnatir is from the Mediterranean 'ports.
- The supply from Trieste and Leghorn was
foi a long-timenf the greatest velyet esPe
daily whit - was I:M:4n as"Biuigarian rags,
the latter heiag the most esteemed, because
consisting very -lately - of- linen: - Of late
years the introduction of cotton wearing
apparel has Jesnited in , a deterioration of
the ; quality of Mediterranean stock, and the
manufacturers are now very largely sup:
pled by the 4U:eerie= product.,_
A story" was' since afloat in the
newel:slims, le the effect, that an importation -
of mummy rags from Egypt had'beeri made'
and paper, of -good quality.. was produced
from.,them. The story, however, had only.
thiefotindation; that a quantity of rags had
been received from Alexandria, but none of
them had been acquainted with the bodies
et Egyptians before the times of Mahommed
Ali. The staple in, the.' rags of mummies is
dead, and the'ordinary cutting and beating
process of the paper mills would reduce them
to an inpalpable powder without any tenac
ity of fibre. -! ;-•
The businesi of gathering old rags and
old paper for manufacturers occupies a larke
*Meer - of lands In all of the Coiintry,
Not long since, among a quantity of this
*zed stock which was sent to New Eng
land paper mill, Were found some old, rare
'aid valuable books, one of which was a
specimen of the slendid , typography of
itintellus, - the cont emporary and co-work-
Men of ',Gutteriburg._ At another time, in
a similar package,. weii totradatialge collec
tion of the private correspondence of one of
the most eminent Americans of - a former
generation. The paper mills are remorse
bass when such articles'fall into their hands,
and it is not to be .doubtixi that immense
numbers of 'stainable Manuscripts and'aute
graphs have thus gone to the white tomb of
Agricultural IFaira.

on Inebriate Asylums of the National Tem
perance Convention, in their report com
mend such institutions to the sympathy and
support of the temperance community, and
'are of opinion that, while medical treatment

only sure and successful way of . thoroughly
reforming the inebriate is by moral and re

FIGARO states that some time since seven
young American ladies left New York to
visit Europe, without the escort of a gentle
man. They belong to 'wealthy families of
NeW York, and hag s made the tour of Eu
rope, being at last remounts in - Hungary.
. Two of the seven have found husbands and
settled down for life. Mgaro asserts that
the statement is a fact , and not a coney&
Junes FAvrin has unearthed a rieh docu
ment, which is certain' to, i
produce a gr eat
comutotion in Bonapartist circles. It
_s a
petition drawn up in 1846; and praying
King Lpuis PIM ippe to have Louie Napo-
Aeon Bonaparte court-martialled and shot as
an enemy to the peace and tranquility of
France. Among the signers of this inter-
Itsting document aril one' of the Emperor's
, present Midsters, one of his ex-Ministers,
half a dozen ultra Bonapartistic members of
the Corps Legislatif, and Lieutenant Col
onel (now Marshal) . Canrobert. ,
•
Tim destruction of woodlands is said to
remove the barriers against extensive in
nndations arising from heavy rain falls. It
is asserted that the clearing of the Adiron
'deck' forests might ultiinately inflict upon
Northern and Central New 'fork the same
evils which the ravages' of the woodman's
axe lave brought upon mttny portions of
Franceand other European countries. The
French Governmint, appreciating •the im
portance of wooded tracts, has provided for
the replanting of thousands :of acres of for
ests, as a protection for the lands:skirting
the Alps against the Ire,mtmdon.s floods
which renderedcertain districts unlit for ag

Bitzwlng critic Not Theatre.
The Turin Gazette gives denuls of the
burning,of the Note theatre in that place.
The disaster occurred during theperform
ance of "Crispin° ela Comare." The house
was crowded and the piece had arrived at
about the middle of the second act, When
the scream of a woman was heard from be
hind the scenes, followed .by the noise of
hurried footsteps and a cry of "Keep your
places; it is nothing." The clothes 'of a
female dancer had caught fire, and in her
terror she had run about with her skirt in a
blaze; and had thus set lire to some drapery
at the wings; she was however firmly invel
oiled in a linen cloth, and the flames of her
dress were eitinguished before she had suff
ered any injury. The alarm, had, however,
spread among the spectators, and a general
rush was =del° the doors; for a moment
there was great dangef of loss.of life from
the pressure,but some 'young men in the
gallery above:who could see what wasgoing
on near the stage called out that the fire
was over. About half of the spectators
then returned to their seats, while those
nearest the door left the building. The dis
aster had indeed for a moment appeared to
be at an end, as the canvas on fire had been
torn down and trampled under - foot. But
the flames had found in , the , painted scenes
and...light woodwork an aliment too favor
able, and the -flames again appearing, the
panic once more became general, screams
Imo heard ..on all aides, several women
fainted, many persons jumped from the
windows on the and every made
for the street, leaving behind hate, shells,
uinbrellas ' . Fortunately the theatre
bid - been partly emptied at the .first alarm,
and every one was able to get, away in
safety. i
The scene outside was most curious. The
spectators might be seen, some with bare
heads, and others with clothes torn from
their hacks, huriying to and fro in'search
of friends or relatives. , The - actors and ac
tresses were In their ' cointmei. While some
of the . ballet girls, who had been surprised'
while dressing, -- were b etween two toilettes
-half' civil half theatrical, the flames in the
meantime had gained the pit and,the galler
ies, and astheinterior of the house was con,
strutted of wood and' canvas only, any at:
tempt.to check the progress of ' the fire was
uselesss; all that could be done was to pre
vent the' conflagratio_n from. extending to
the adjoining houses, and in a short time
nothing but the blackened Walls 'remained.
CnassEPar : Tte.„ " oft-repeated
inquiry, ”Who invented the Chassepot
Tie?" bas led- to the investigatio n and Solt'.
tion of the problem, which in substinee
briefly as follows: This article ofneek dread,
which at first Was worn by , gentleman. and
states of • fashion,. but which has since: been
reProduced in *cheap and Common styles,'
until the 4natitity.sold has reached the enor
mous flgute of 600,000, was first invented
by henry G. Fisk, Esq., of ttie firm of Fisk,
Clark; & Flagg, 58 Wite street, in 1867;
and the first Chaasepot ties that were ever
sold came from this house. They imported
the only ones that came to , this country, af
ter the invention of it by Mr. Fisk, but the
great bulk of those sold by them were.made
in this country under- : their supervision.
They kept the market until the goods were
imitated by othe i ra in cheap and flimsy coun
terfeits, and yet, controlled the trade long
enough to make a handsome thing out of
their invention. • --
