Lewis.] i H Two thousand miles due north of the island of Mauritius aud almost mid way between that aud the Seyehelle group is the lone island of Agalegas. It is an island about six miles iu circum ference, with its highest point about 100 feet above the sea. There were no inhabitants up to 1882, though traders and shell gatherers often called there for wood aud water. A part of the Is- ] land was covered with vegetation up to that date, but it is now little better than a Jumble of broken rock. It was iu the year 1881 that Iho cap tain of a trading schooner entered the port of St. Louis, In the Mauritius, to tell a wonderful story about this island of Agalegas. Me bad called there to wood and water and make repairs, and while his crew was at work lit? explor ed the island. Amid the rocks he discovered a great cave, and from that cave he had taken, aud brought away two elephants' tusks, a box of silver bars and a jewel handled sword. He was a cunning chap, this trader, and ho had got the stuff aboard without his crew being the wiser and had said j nothing about the caves. He did not | report his liud to any consul or other official at St. Louis, but after hanging j about for awhile he decided to make a ! confidant of the firm of Daypne & Co. This was a French trading and export- i ing firm, aud as I was in its employ 1 came to hear the story first hand. If j the trader, whose name was Marcus j ami who was a half breed Frenchman, | had not brought evidences of his find, > his story would have been booted at. Even with the evidences before us we : could hardly credit his statement. The plunder Bareas had brought away was worth SIO,OOO, but he as sured us that this was a mere flea bite compared to what had been left be hind. He had counted 230 tusks, which did not include all. lie had counted ISO boxes of silver bars, worth over SI,OOO per box, but there wore others behind them. There were bales, boxes and barrels he had not attempted to open, aud he believed the contents of the cave would pan out $1,000,000 and ballast a trading brig. It was a very dignified and respectable firm, that, of 1 Daypne & Co., but it got down off its liigii horse pretty fast to make a bar gain with Bareas to bring that treasure away and dodge customs officials and government authorities. What they offered to do after a consultation was to lit out a ship, bring tbe stuff off, convert it into cash and give him a quarter. It wasn't a liberal offer on their part, but Bareas closed at once, and the enterprise was turned over to me to engineer. The firm had a trading brig called the Foam, and as soon as she arriv ed in port she was cleared of cargo and her crew discharged. 1 then began to pick up Madagascar sailors and soon had ten of them, with an English A. B. who had cut and run from a merchant man. Bareas was to act as captain, and I was to go along as supercargo. It was easy enough to deceive the Madagas car! tes, while the sailor was satisfied with an offer of double wages and $590 extra. We left Mauritius with the os tensible object of visiting the islands to the east to establish trading stations, but when we had made good our offing we headed for the north and the island of Agalegas. We were on our way to ! fill our craft with plunder from a store- ! house filled hundreds of years before and worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the voyage was prosaie. None of us was excited over it until | the last day, and then it was through fear that the cave might have been dis covered by some other caller. .Wv run into a boy *ud tfrunped au- chor at 10 o'clock In the forenoon, and before midday Bareas had visited the treasure house and reported all safe. After dinner the three officers of us went up together. The mouth of the cavern had once been sealed, but had been uncovered by a fall of rock and earth. It was a natural chamber, 00 feet deep, about 30 feet wide and from 10 to 20 feet from floor to roof. There was good ventilation, and the place was as dry as a bone. No man could say when that cavern had first been made a storehouse, but judging by some of the arms found it must have been 100 years before—perhaps twice that. The tusks had come from Ceylon and the mainland of India, the silver from In dian mines, the wines and liquors and shawls and cloths from no farther south. Nothing had decayed. There were Chinese silks and India shawls and Persian wraps as stout and strong and as lively in color as tfie day they left the looms. There were bales of furs from Madagascar and the African coast from which time had not loosen ed a hair, and the kegs and barrels of wine with French and Spanish marks on thorn had doubled in value ten times over since they were hoisted up from the beach. Who had created the storehouse? Why had they sealed it up and gone away? Was it the plunder of pirates or the treasure house of some prince of India or Ceylon? We wondered aud speculated, but we were no better off. Our first move was to establish a camp on the highest spot of the island and divide our force. 1 took charge of the land party and Bareas of the brig. My party removed the plunder from the cave and carried it half way down to the bench, and his men carried it aboard and stowed it. away. It was a rugged path we had to travel, and though we worked 16 hours out of the 24 we re duced the piles very slowly. As I checked off the goods as they were brought out of the cave let me tell you what we took out in the five weeks we were at work. The tusks counted up 183, the boxes of silver 307, the barrels of wine 64, the kegs of wine 310. the bales of fur 04. the bales of shawls and silks 190, the boxes of coined gold of native Indian money 27. and there was SO,OOO to the box. In .addition to these we found two boxes of pearls, ru bies*. diamonds, etc., most of them un cut, which I roughly valued at $500,- 000. On a certain evening when we knocked off work I figured the value of gems already taken out at $1,500,000, aiul there was yet a week's work to re move the rest. The day had been hot and stifling and the work harder than usual. The cook was half an hour lale in rubbing his eyes open, and he had hardly reached his feet when his shout of surprise alarmed the rest of us. At some hour during the night and so quietly that not a man of us had been disturbed the waters had retreated in every direction from the shores of the island until there was only the bed of the sea to look at. Ilere and there a deep hole created a little lake, but one could have walked for six or eight miles without wetting his feet. As the waters retired our craft had gone with them, never to be heard of more. I had lived in the east too long not to know what was coming. We were as high as we could get and could only wait for the peril. It came as the sua rose. We heard a booming, roaring aiul crashing and next minute caught sight of a tidal wave sweeping in. That wave was 79 feet high, and as it rolled across the island from north to south Its foamy crest was only 30 feet below where we stood. There were three waves, each moving at a speed of 109 miles an hour, and then the sen settled down to its usual level and soon grew quiet. A thousand acres of forest had been swept away and the whole face of tlit? island changed in a moment. Our spring and our camp had been left untouched, but there was no longer a cavern, no longer a bale of goods, no longer a brig laden with a king's ran som. An earthquake at sea. a mighty convulsion of nature 509 miles away, had robbed us of brig, crew and traps- I lire and left us on an almost desolate rock to wait for passing craft. Slintlotvjr Sicily.

' Grovel's City Drug Store, I ADAMS' MIDNIGHT JUDGES The Story of an Estrangement of at I'rcaident and Hla Sncceaaor. The story of the quarrel between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson Is very interesting, and in answer to an inquiry I wt>uld say that It was an at tempt on the part of Mr. Adams to ap point a number of his friends In differ ent sections of the country to life posi tions upon the bench Just as his presi dential term was ending and Mr. Jef ferson's beginning. A few moments before the expiration of the Sixth congress in 1801 an act was passed creating a number of new districts and circuit courts. Mr. Ad ams selected the Judges from among his friends and political supporters ami had their commissions prepared before he approved the luw. At that time it was the practice for congress to ad journ at midnight on the 3d of March, and the term of the president expired at the same moment. Mr. Jefferson, being aware of the indentions of Mr. Adams, gave his watch to Levi Lin coln, who had been selected for bis cabinet, and told him to take posses sion of the office of secretary of state as the liunds pointed to midnight. Mr. Lincoln obeyed instructions and inter rupted Chief Justice Marshall, who was acting as secretary of state, In the act of attesting the commissions of the new Judges with the great seal of state. A few had been completed, but the greater part lacked the seal. Mr. Lin coln entered Judge Marshall's office without warning and said: "I have been ordered by President Jefferson to take possession of this de partment and its papers." "Mr. Jefferson has not yet qualified as president," exclaimed the astonish ed chief Justice. "Nevertheless he considers himself an executor or trustee and instructs mo to take charge of the archives of this department until he la duly qualified." "But it is not yet 12 o'clock," said Judge Marshall, taking out his watch. "This is the president's watch and rules the hour," said Mr. Lincoln. Judge Marshall carried away the commissions that were completed, and tlie men who received them were after ward known as "Adams' midnight judges." Mr. Jefferson considered this an in fringement of his prerogatives and an invasion of his authority as president, and for many years he and Mr. Adams were bitterly hostile, although lie con tinued to correspond with Mrs. Adams in a friendly manner. On the other hand, Mr. Adams was offended with Mr. Jefferson because of the removnl of his son. John Quincy Adams, who was registrar of bankruptcy at Boston. Mr. Jefferson afterward explained that he was not aware that the young Adams who held the office was a son of the ex-president or he would not have removed him. A reconciliation was brought about by Dr. Benjamin Rush, for which Mr. Jefferson was prepared by a sympathetic letter from Mrs. Adams at the time of the death of his daughter, Mrs. Epps. The letter of Dr. Rush to Mr. Adams urging the reconciliation is one of the most eloquent appeals that can be imagined. He says: "Fellow laborers In erecting the fab ric of American liberty and Independ ence, fellow sufferers in the calumnies and falsehoods of party rage, fellow heirs of the gratitude and affection of posterity and fellow passengers in the same stage which must soon convey Doth into the presence of the Judge with whom forgiveness ami the love of your enemies is the condition of your acceptance, embrace embrace each other, bedew your letters of reconcilia tion with tears of affection and joy." Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Adams re sumed their correspondence and friend ly relations until their death, which oc curred on the same day, hut some of Mr. Jefferson's partisans refused to ap prove the reconciliation.—Chicago Rec ord. One Way of Finding It. A farmer was working in Ills hayfield when a neighbor came up and engaged in a chat which developed into a dis pute about something or other. "It's like looking for a needle in a haycock," said the first farmer. "And that's easy enough," said the neighbor. "Easy, Is it?" retorted the other. "I hot you live shillings you won't find a needle I'll hide in that there haycock in an hour." "Done with you for five bob!" cried his neighbor. The first farmer thereupon hid a needle in the haycock and called "Time!" His neighbor drew a match from his pocket, set fire to the haycock and rush ed off at top speed to his own house. Back he came presently and found the haycock reduced to a heap of ashes. Flourishing a huge horseshoe magnet he plunged it into the ashes and in a minute withdrew it with the needle clinging to it. "The result of scientifick eddication!" he said proudly to the first farmer, who was gaiiing ruefully at the ashes of his haycock. "If you'd 'a' bin cddicatcd sclent illckally up to date like me, you'd be richer by five bob and the haycock." —London Answers. Wltb Reservation.

As he was leaving the house he was stopped by the dragoons, who asked if the laird was nt home. "Well," said the old covenanter, "he was there when I was there." The dragoons went their way and the old laird went his and lived to teil .be truth another day. p Not at Half-Price | p Nor Below Cost 1 are our goods sold.
