The Stolen Casket of Jewels.
I . OOIICLUDED.]
The next morning I examined the roof by
moans of a pole, and soon found a board which
yielded to my pressure. I piled one ottoman
upon another, and with ease moved the plank
eutirely. On ono side of the adjoining plank
I discovered a small piece of blue cashmere, a
mere ehre4, it is true, but from it I learned two
important things 7a L:was, right in my conjecture
that the . this tsar of high rank, for the mate
rial Was costly ; aue second, that the man who
ever he was, was dressed in a blao robe. So
costly was the cashmere, that I at once conclud
ed that he would continue to wear the robe,
notwithstanding the rent, so I now had to look
for a man who wore a torn or mended robe.
I drew myself up into the loft, where I found
a piece of a palm rope made fast to the rafter
above long enough to have materially aided
egress, and I availed myself of it to descend
again to the apartment.
I now went around, the building once more
and satisfied myself that the palm tree was
the means of attaining the roof. But from its
size, it must have been a man of extraordinary
frame who could grasp it. Beneath it were foot
prints, but whether of the thief or not, it was
immaterial to me. laly chain of evidence Was
thus far complete. My host met and inquired
what progress of my discoveries, and naked him
for the key of the box. This he produced and
gave into my posession. lie asked if there was
anything else I desired.
ic All I now want," I replied, " is a full suit
of Turkish clothes so that I may pass as one of
your relatives from Stambou, and then I can
almost insure your success.
He furnished me with what I desired : and
I was soon arrayed in the rich garb of a mer
chant prince. One remark, however, which he
made while 1 was disguising my suspicions as to
his ultimate intentions towards me—he ear
nestly desired me to give up his keeping my
revolving pistol. This 1 declined, and only took
greater care to keep on my person, as well as
the two silver mounted flint lock, (which by the
way, oftener far do not go off, than prove avail
ing,) that he gave me to complete my diegu;se.
Thus attired, and armed with pistols, pass and
key, I went to the rude blacksmith of the place.
felling sure the thief would employ his assist
ance in opening the casket, and asked him if he
could make me a key like the ono I at the same
time presented to him.
"What will you take for this, which I now
hold," was the brief reply.
"I have been trying to make one of a similar
pattern for the last ttvo days, but cannot suc
ceed," said the smith, and Abdallah Effendi has
promised me eighty piasters if I succeed in
opening the box for him "
"Who is Abdallah Effendi T 1 insured care-
lessly.
"list' here, here ho comes'" said the smith.
" Let no one know I told you that ho had lost
the' key to his box, tor I promised by Allah to
keep silence."
Giving the man a nod, as ranch as to soy, "Ili
keep your secret, and will return directly," I left
his shop, taking the key with me. Going into
the bazar opposite, I could observe Abdallah
Effendi at my leisure, without being myself per•
Oeived.
There stood the man I wanted ; tall, of a Her
culean frame, with little deep black twinkling
eyes, dressed in a deep blue cashmere robe,
whether torn or not I neither• saw nor cared, ee
firmly was I persuaded of his identity with the
thief as he stood talking to the ono eyed black
smith, Hassan El Kebir, with all the earnest•
ness and watchfulness of a man who has to con
fide a secret to a second party, and who fears
discovery therefrom. lie noon left the shop,
and I followed him a little distance to hie house,
which he entered.
Returning to the palace, I told my host that
the culprit resided near the Jews' quarter, in
the neighborhood of Abdallah Effendi, or as he
was sometimes called, El Shereef, from the fact
that he was one who claimed descent from the
Prophet. I requested him to send Abdallah on
a fool's errand, I cared not where, alleging as
ray reason, that I did not want him to see me
prying around his neighborhood. The reason
was, I dreaded his wrath on discovering that he
was over-reached. The next def, - --Abdallah hav
ing been sent to Malfaloot—Heaven only knows
on what pretext—l went to his house, and had
- penetrated to the door of his hareem before I
met with any opposition. This was guarded by
a single eunuch, to whom I read my pass from
the Governor ; and, at the same, to quicken his
comprehension, slipped into his hand a twenty
piaster piece. A good deal of argument and an
other gold piece carried the ,day, and like Don
Juan, I entered the hareem—that tabooed spot
—by strategy. Knowing from its sacredness
that it would be the place of deposit, I had cal
culated on finding the casket there, and I was
not mistaken.
The room was a large one, painted and adorn
ed with far more taste than a mere cursory Ho•
toadji would dream *of finding there. Three of
the wives of Abdallah wore in the room and two
of his children. The exclamation and then the
repeated cries and screams they made at my in
trusion, caused me to fear that the guard would
forget the favors past, and returning to hie du.
ty, kill me.
I succeeded, however, in quieting their fears,
by informing them that I was a relative of him
and had instructions from him to present per
sonally to them an order (here I showed my pass
—an old deed would have done as well, for I
knew they could neither read or write) for the
iron box which he had purchased two days be
fore, They whispered together, looked at me,
and then at the pretended order, and finally de
cided to give me the box. Accordingly they
withdrew it from its concealment beneath the
ottoman on which they sat, and gave it to mo.—
I took it quietly, and appeared in no hurry to
leave,.(and to tell the truth I was not, for such
ivine' beauty I bad never witnessed before, and
fear I:never shall again,) sipped a glass of Shen+ .
bet, gave them the order to show their husband,
and quietly putting the box under my robe,
reaohed Achmet Bey's in safety, and placed my
prize, unknown to any one, entirely in my apart
ment. Towards evening I packed my European
clothes, and then took them to a thicket outside
the town, to the south. I then returned, opened
the box, selected ray third of the jewels, and
then replaced it under the ottoman.
The next morning at daybreak I took the
horse Achmot had placed at my disposal, and ri
ding to the thicket, fastened my bundle to the
saddle-bow, and left the horse in charge of a
boy, giving him directions to await my return . I
then walked home. After our morning meal I
told Aohmet that I had every reason to believe
that we had been succaseful, and proposed to
walk with him. I took care to see that my host
had not his pistols with him, as I feared be
would regret the loss of so large a portion of
his jewels when again within his grasp. We
conversed pleasantly until we reached the thick
et, where I mounted my horse, talking rapidly
MI the while, and threw the boy a piaster.
"And now, mine host,'' said I, "Allah be
praised ! Let me toll you that I have found
your casket. With the saddle key, it is beneath
the ottoman in the room from which it was sto
len. Guard it better this time."
"But your roward ?" inquired Aohmet, evi
dently growing anxious.
"Have I not thie robe, this horse, and these
pistols I" said I.
"But were you not to have one-fourth of the
. ewels ?" said Achrnot.
"You told me one-third at first," I replied,
"and fearing that .my, share g might be but an
eighth, or perhaps none, if left to your bounty,
I have helped myself to a full third. The re•
mainder, with your opal ring, are safe at home,
and now, Allah bo with you !"
So saying, I spurred my fleet Arabian, saw
Aehmet feel nervously for his trusty pistols, and
then run towards the palace, as if to make sure
of the remnant of thek,wels. The only excuse
I could ever frame for Abdallah'e theft was the
extreme beauty of those for whom he evidently
designed the treasure.
Far myself, I reached Uardet in safety, and
amused him with a recital of my adventure.—
Instead of returning by the Nile, we went across
the desert by caravan to the lied Sea ; and after a
year's further trial, the cost of which was defray
ed by certain jewels, over to be remembered, I
returned home, bringing some of the finest with
me, as specimens of the contents of Tan uttsitzr
OF Aoares Bay.

The opponents of the National Democracy

principles under the operation of which the

They want a kruiy negative man—a positive

nothing to gain by union with the relics of

slogan has been raised against foreign born
citizens, but that will not do in the west.
The nation is not like to be afflicted with the

Pieveuttou of Exploision of Elter.ux Boilers.
To tho Boards of Trude of the Cities of Pittsburgh,
Looiaciile, St. Louie and Netc Orleans:
By the ia•o explosion of the steamboat Pennsyl
vania, one hundred human lives have baon saoridood•
Is this sad catastrophe to pass away again without
an enquiry, without an effort to prevent reourrences
iu the future? Is it not time yet to ascertain what
can be done and what should be done?
Can explosions be p - rovenv,d :t all, and by what
meant?
No country has so groat an interest in this quos.
tion as the United States. No whore on the face of
the globe will the power of steam be more extensive:y
employed than hero. Kind nature did not piece one
of her choicest gifts at our disposal, without the
means of applying it properly and rationally. All
natural forces aro within the power and control of
man. Man Wands at the head of creation and na
ture is his school wherein to practice his faoultios
and gain experience. What is yet buried in mystery
will become plain in course of time. To subdue
natural forces and apply them for the practical pur
poses of life, is one of the oi•jeots of existence.
Fortunately, enough is known of the properties of
steam to enable us to avert its dangers in most oases.
All that is needed is an earnest effort on the part of
tho nation to apply the proper remedy, legislative
and mechanical.
A law has been in force in France for the last
thirty years, compelling owners of steam boilers to
insert certain fusible plugs in certain parts of the
boiler, which plugs will molt and let the steam es
cape whenever its pressure and temperature rises
above a certain point. This law is well enforced in
Franco, and in order to insure the efficiency of the
plugs they are manufactured by the government
itself. The consequence is that no explosions are
heard of in that country. Mr. Fairbairn, in his last
publicative et.stae subject of steam, speaks of this
French contrivance as the most reliable and safest,
and ono that has stood the test of long experience.
The despotic government of Franco insure thole
Citizens against explosions. What a sorry contrast
between our rough and tumble democracy and that
Froach scientific despotism ! Is it really impossible
to raise our standard of national virtue and intelli
gence high enough to prevent such wholesale human
slaughters? These so-hailed accidents cannot very
well be charged to the aocoent of a special provie
donee; they are in most oases but the legitimate and
direct result of a culpable carelessness and gross
stupidity I
The oausrs of steam boiler explosions aro not fully
pnderstood; the nature of steam remains partly
shrouded in mystery. We do, however, know posi
tively that by far the greater number of explosions
are caused by the euddee and instentaneeus forma.
tion of high pressure steam, resulting from a sudden
rush of water upon overheated metallic surfaces.
With few exceptions"the boilers in our western waters
are high pressure. They have flues inside, through
which the fire passes from one end to the ()Cher. Tho
level of the water is kept but a few inches above the
uppermost flues. Whenever, from carelessness or de
sign, the water is allowed to fall ; the top of these
flues will become overheated. An explosion, equal
in force to that of gunpowder, is the inevitable re
sult of a sudden return or new supply of water on
these red hot flues. The safety of the passengers is
thus depending on the watchfulness and intelligence
of the engineer on duty. But the Frenoh govern
ment makes it impossible fur toe engineer or any
other person to endanger the lives of the passengers.
Suppose our steamboat owners, captains and engi
neers were compelled by law, sit the risk of a heavy
penalty, to insert two or three leaden rivets, one
inch diameter, into the top of each flue; and sup;
pose (almost impossible, though!) our Genoral,Gov
erumont should see to the faithful execution of this
law, could an explosion happen? TI()! Whenever
by carelessness the water is allowed to fall too low,
i these leaden plugs will speedily melt and let the
steam escape into the flues and up the chimneys.
Common lead will melt at a temperature of 630°,
while it takes 750° to 800° to raise iron to a red hot
state. Carefully prepared alloys would bo preferable
to lead.
This blowing out of Oa boilers, althotigh free
from all danger, is attended with serious delay and
incouvenienee to all on board. And this will he the
immediate penalty suffered for their negligence. The
officers will take care not to repeat the oxpeeiment,
because the steamboat will be without steam at least
one half day, until tho boilers can be cooled down,
and men go inside and insert new 'eafety plugs.
But of cuurse e tt the law is not enforcede the eaptain
and engineer will prefer to insert iron rivets in place
of leaden ones! Hence the norieaeity, of a _healthy
public opinion to enforce the law. s'gfeambuat racing
and carrying low water in-the boilers must ha frowned
down. The officers of steamboats are tile more to
blame than the public. As the master, so tiro - Bor.
vast, is an o'.d adage.
Thera is a steamboat law on- the statutes; poor
and unsatisfactory us it is, it is not half enforced !
So we go on and repeat our explosions to the eternal
shame of the nation !
The commissioners who in former years were op
pointed to examine into the causes of explosion,
and to report remedies, have done some good. Bat
their- labors have had no practical effect. The
writer, who is familiar with all they have done,
recommends their reappointment. Their labors
sheuld be continued until explosions are perfectly
understood, and the proper remedies applied.
The present steamboat law allows 132 pounds
pressure for a3B inch boiler and inch iron. This
pressure will exert a tensile fort) upon the iron; in
the direction of tho circumference of the boiler,
equivalent to IUO-32 pounds per square inch sootion,
which is of the ultimate strength of gond boiler
cheat. The strain on the iron In the direction of the
length cf the bailor is only one.half of that of the
circumferential tension ; Ibis
is 'the reason why the
shells of our western boilers almost invariably burst
across the body and seldom lengthways. In this
ealeulation no alloWance is made for rivetting and
bad iron. But dingle rivetting will only give about
one-half the strength of the solidsheot. Add to this
a poor quality of sheet and - rivet, and we cannot
estimate the strength of most boilers, when now, at
more than ono•half the above fignre. That is, with
steam of 132 pounds pressure we have scarcely three
times the strength to meet it, while six times should
be the rule. But it is a notorious fact that in place
of 132 pounds steam, seldom lose than 150 pounds,
and often as high as 220 poetics aro carried on our
western waters. In many cases the safety valve is
loaded down, so that it cannot open, and steam is
raised as high as the hottest fire from pitch and tur
pentine can make it. This is no fancy, but the
sober daily experience. Our river men are no fancy
men—they go in for high pressure and speed. Nor
are they to blame; they risk their lives along with
the rest. It is the public body that is to blame !
The above calculations have reference only to new
well-made boilers. Now consider the condition of
an old patched up boiler, bought second or third
hand, five to ten years ago. The effects of a hot
coal lire, elaborating the strongest sulphurous gases,
foaling from rust and incrustations, these are the
destroying agencies at work all the time. How
much is left of tho inoh iron after ten years in•
cossaut use? Perhaps not and that of about one
half the original strength.
Tho eobor truth is that steamboat running is a bold
game between life and death ail the time ! The real
wonder with the reflecting is not the great number
of annual explosions wo hoar ef, but the small num
.
bar!
It was remarked that low water is the principal
cause or explosions on our western waters. The
mem relit of the shell of a boiler, or the collapse of
a fine, caused by a gradual increase of pressuro or
reduotideof strength, is not an explosion, but gen-
orally passes off without any serious consequences.
It is true that explosions of the most fearful kind
have taken place when there was no scarcity of water,
and no very great pressure indicated by the safety
valve or pressure-gauge. The best ascertained ex
plosion of this kind on record took place in the yard
of J.1 3 . - Moiris (t, Co., at Philadelphia, about seven
or eight years ago. The facts connected with this
explosion are well known to the writer. Several com
petent parties have attempted to account for it, but
it remains a mystery. Let us have a new commis
sion, and let their labors be continued until all the
phenomena of explosions are fully understood.
In order to give to this paper a practical
effect, I have addressed the highly respectable and
intelligent bodies of gentlemen, who compose the
Boards of Trade of the cities of Pittsburgh, Clnoln
nati, Louisville, St. Louis and New Orleans. All
these cities are concerned in this question. The in
terests of commerce and commercial oontrannications
by land and water are closely allied; they come
within the spheres of those Boards. My appeal to
them I present to them in the 'following shape :
Hold a special meeting on the subject in question
and draw up urgent requests to your Representatives
and Senators in Congress to unite in their efforts, at
the next session', for the purpose of creating a new
commissinti to examine more fully into the causes
of explosions, to revise the existing statutes, and to
report the provisions for a new law, which will guar
antee more safety than the one now in force.

A lady tells this story—l had been out in In
diana on a visit, and while there I found a kitten
which T brought home for my two children. To
prevent any dispute about the ownership of the
puss, I proposed, and it was agreed, that the
head of the kitten should be mine, that the body
shold be the baby's and Eddie, the eldest—but
only three yteirs—should be the sole proprietor of
the long and beautiful teil. Eddie rather ob
j ected at first, to this division, as putting him
off with antitremely small share of the animal,
bat soon became reoonciled . to the division, and
quite proud; of his ownership in the graceful ter -
minus of the kitten, One day, soon after, I
heard the poor puss making a dreadful mewing,
and I called'ont to Eddie: "there, my son, you
are hurting my part of the kitten, I heard her
cry." "No, I didn't mother; I trod on my part,
and your part hollered!"
