The Iyeavenwor'h (Kan.) Times of May 2.1i, relate the following: "A remarkable occurrence took place in salt Creek Valley d;.v before yestenliy. Mrs. Chapman, wife ol Samuel Chapman, of Pieas.mt Kidge. went into the pasture adjoining the house for the purpose of catching a horse w hich she desire) to drive to town with. In less than half an hour she wa seen making her way back to the house waving her anu above her h'id, and making all sortof ludicrous po-iures. Ilerhtiband. who wa standing on the porch, thought it was remarkably strange, that his wile, ordinarily so staid" and dignified, should le acting &o strangely, but took no further ( notice of her, supposing she was making fun ol him. But when 6he finally reached the house, a very serious matter was de veloped, and all the strange actions fully explained. The woman had by some un accountable means been struck speechless, and has not, up to last accounts, oeen aoie to sicak a word or make known uie cause of her misfortune. Jt is the general opin ion that the spell was either brought on by a lit, or some terrible fright whi. h the woman received while in the pasture, and he nature of which her mends have as vet been unable to learn." Buried Treasure. Ever since the story of Capt. Kidd gain ed currency, there has been no lack ol r- sons ready to invest their money in me pursuit of a sliadow; but perhaps the most w himsical of all trie searches lor buried treasure is that which has just been un dertaken, according to a San Francisco pajKT. by some capitalists of .New 1 ork. 'I'l... X . ! 1 . ..... ..... .,.1.1 .1..,. 1 in: miair uu j;j nc eu itu , w r ui k iuiu, iu.ii schooner lullv eiuipied has sailed from San Francisco for the Cocos Islands, with a crew under instructions to search for some millions of treasure buried there nearly forty years ago. There has been some little "method, however, in the mad ness of these capitalists, lor U.e crew de parted with instructions to proceed, in case of failure to find the apocryphal treasure, to the iearl Iishenes and mere ouiarn a cargo. 1 he expedition is based upon the story of one David Sutherland, which is equally romantic and improbable. It begins witli the assertion that in the brig Mary Deer anchored off a Peruvian fort near Callao. A war is said to have existed at the time between Peru and Chili, and the fort contained a vast amount of treasure which was in imminent danger of capture. Of course the commandant could think of no other means of saving it than to place it on board a foreign vessel, casually but conveniently at anchor near at hand. It mav be remarked also that it was perfectly natural that an out-of-the way fort should contain these "glittering millions." This part of the story, like all the rest, is erni nently fit to be told to the marines. The treasure was no sooner on board the Mary Deer than the crew were tempted to sail away with it, and immediately yielded to the temptation. No sooner did the thieves find themselves in full posses sion of their booty than they were troubled about w hat they should do with it. They might have gone off te New York or Liv erpool. and having told some story con eerning wonderful riches in some hitherto unknown land, which would not have been half so strange as half the yarns of sailors, have lived ru-h and resiiectea ever alter- ward. But they did nothing of the kind. They sailed away westward for thousands of miles, passing by hundreds of equally eligible sites for the concealment of treas ure, and finally buried their "glittering millions" on one of the Cocos Islands. which are situated in the Indian Ocean, oil the coast of Java, tveu the marines would refuse to believe such a story as this, but something even more strange is to follow. In its rater phases, the narra tive is worthy of the incomparable genius for lying exhibited by the celebrated Mun chausen. After the treasure was buried, and the crew went back to tlieir ship, a storm arose, and it was of such an extraordinary char acter for these usually placid seas that it blew the crew back, despite themselves, upon the coast of Peru, where they were captured, and eight of the eleven were promptly shot. The other three were pardoned upon a promise to dis close where the treasure was concealed, and were put upon a ship which started lor the Gallipagos Islands, where they said it was buried. They counted upon escaping, of course, before reach ing the end of this wild-goose chase, and equally as a matter of course they did it. 1 he ship iut. into Panama without any reason, and there one of the three died, and the other two escajied to an outward- tKMind w- aler, leaving the l'eruvians fi nally in the lurch. On this whaler they remained for several years, but finally de serted the ship at San Francisco, ard af ter some experience in the mines, settled down in California, which seems to be a favorite resting place for all the adventur ous spirits of the world. This is the story in outline which has Imi'U gravely told on the Pacilic eoasr. Any one can" believe it who chooses, hut there is no compulsion in the case. After giving the whole narrative careful study, however, it will le impossible not to ad mire the prudence of these New York capitalists, who, starting a vessel oil for a buried treasure, like pood business men. put a second string to their bow, and in struct the commander incase of failure to proceed to the earl fisheries. There is something tangible about a cargo 01 pearl-. If such au excdition has been undertaken, we C:ci hoje, in view of the M-arl precaution, that it will end pleas antly for those w ho are more immediately concerned. Meantime some other ancient mariner may start a fresh and equally or iginal story concerning buried treasure. It will Ik difficult to surpass the achieve ment of Sutherland, but with proper pre paration, aided by the requisite ability in this line, it may be equaled. A'. Y. Tim to. A May Slory. A little story was told to us lately which seems to In- worth repeating. Some time ago a child ill with hip disease was brought into a certain asylum in New York a little girl of five years old, who, from fright or weakness, cried bitterly on her admission. Another girl, a little Swede of about nine, beaid her. "Is she crying because she has left her mother?" she asked the matron. "Xo. She has no mother: she is an orphan." "Her friends, then, may be?" " She has no friends. She has nobody in the world to take care of her, unless she finds one here." Jennie, the little Swede, stood for a minute or two soberly looking at the stranger. She was not a pretty child, nor attractive in any way, being homely, diseased and ill-tempered. "I think I will take care of her," said Jennie, gravely. " I'll lie a friend to her," and she went over to the stranger then and there and began to soothe and humor her. The matron, thinking it only a passing childish outburst, paid no attention to it, even when she found that Jennie had secured a seat at the table next to the child, and had managed to have her placed in the bed next her own in the dormitory. But when the story w as told to us a year after wards, the little pirl had never failed once in her self-imposed trust. As far as was practicable she took the place of mother or elder sister to the child who, still lame and suffering, needed a constant attention and care which the matron and nurses could not give. She cut and prepared her food at meals, humored her peevish fancies during the dav. and at night was in the habit of lying down half-dressed, to be ready to spring up at a moment's warning, and she passed many a night, it was discovered, holding the child's head in her arms or soothing her. On any holiday or when visitors came, Jennie's first anxiety was to make her little charge presentable, just as a fond mother would do ; and when the children were once given an excursion, or an afternoon s romp on the grounds. Jen nie had an excuse to account for hei not going, and actually, although her tears choked her. she being but a child, would have staved, patient and cheerful, beside the lame child, who could not go, if her de ception had not been found out. 1 he sin gular part of the story was, too, that the child was not a lovable nor grateful one ; but peevish, jealous and tyrannical towards her poor little nurse, who apologized for and made the best of her to others, after the habit of mothers. There were many other children iu the asylum prettier and more winning ; but Jennie was true to the one whose only recoramendatiou was that "she had no friends." When we pass through the streets of ten ement houses which alternate with some of the most luxurious iu the city, and catch glimpses of the thousands of puny, helpless little wretches shut up in their foul garrets and cellars, who have such sure grounds for fear of the coming sum mer months, which are almost certain to bring a death warrant to most of hem, we wish that Jennie was not a poor little pauper in an asylum, but one of the wo men with me .n's and influence and energy who live just over the way from these houses. If she were, the f."ct that these wan-faced little hvggirs have no friends w oi;l l place them first in her care. N. T. Tribune. Mr. Beechek advises despondent peo ple to write down the thing that trouble them, and inspect the list every month or two. when thev will find that their great tribulations have become very small. Strange Marine Animals. Every class of the great animal kingdom contains two or three species which, by the singularity of their structure and hab it, are entitled to be numbered among the wonders of natural history ; but there is perhaps no class which can boast of so many curious examples as that which com prehends the tinny tribes of sea, lake and river. Of these, there are none more re markable than the so-called musical fishes of the East and West, the blind fishes of Xorth America, and the volcano fish of the Andes. If there is one common characteristic of all marine animals more marked than au other, it is their absolute silence, or, to coin a new word, vouvlessness. The one exception to this, and we believe it is only an apparent exception, is the musical fish. ft Is found alon the southern portion 01 the coast of the United States ; in the West Indie?, and on the tropical coasts of South America ; in the Bay of Bengal ; ia the muddy creeks on the shores of India ; around Ceylon, and along the coasts and 111 the wide nvers of Burmah and the great island of Borneo. These are the localities in w hich its existence is recorded, but ir probably has even a wider range, and it is not unlikely that it is an inhabitant of all the sub-tropical seas. Its music is only beard at night, or in the evening after the sun has set ; and particular Sots, often of very limited extent, seem to be haunted by the nsfi, tor 011 sailing away iroin tnem, the sound becomes inaudible, and, on re turning, it is again heard. The accounts of it given by travelers agree as to tlie main features of the facts, out, a might be expected, they differ in some details. The sound always seems to come up lrom tne surface of die water iu long notes, low and clear, and perfectly distinct. Sir Emerson Tenuent, who heard it in 1848 at Chilka Lake, an inlet of the sea on the east coast of Ceylon, describes it as like the gentle thrills of a musical chord, or the faint vi bration of a wine-glass when its rim is rubbed by a wet finger not one sustained note, but a multitude of tiny sounds, each clear and distinct in itself, the sweetest treble mingling with the lowest bass." Other and later visitors to the same spot have given a very similar ac count of their experience there. The fish seem, indeed, to abound off the Cingalese coast, and they have been met with out at sea in deep water at least a hundred miles from Colombo. This strange muic has been heard, too, in the muddy creeks near Salsettc and Bombay, and at v izazapat.ini and along the Coromandel coast. Other travelers record having listened to the musical fishes on a calm night among the islands of the Mergui Archipelago, off the Burmese coast, and in fresh water 111 the Sarumoth Uiver in Borneo. Of these, some say the sound was a prolonged note, rising and tailing: like the strains of an Eolian harp; others compare it to music borne on the wind from a distant shore ; and with others, again, it w as a droning, drowsy sound, all of one pitch, and seem ing not only to rise from the water, but to fill all the calm air around. The accounts of travelers in America are to the same ef fect M. de Thoron heard the sound 111 the Bay of Pailon, in Ecuador, and in the river Mataie, and he compares it to that of a church organ heard outside the door of a building, when the notes become mingled and indistinct. The fish, which is there called by the natives Siren or Musico, be gins its song about suuser, ami continue; it through the night. 1 he Key. t. haries Kingslev, who visited the caves of tin Bacos Islands near Trinidad where the musical fish abound, descrities the "song' as a simple drumming, or like the noise of a steamer letting on steam. 1 ms apiears to be a correct description ot the sound ol the est Indian and .North American va rieties, for there the fish has received the uiinoctical name of the Drum, the Drum mer, or, worst of all, the Grinds. The varieties found in the Indian Ocean and Pacific are, however, capable of something more than this, and are w. 11 descrying of their title of musical !thes. What fish it is that produces those sounds is. as yet, more than uncertain. It is, in deed, a question of some difficulty to deter mine. American naturalists are generally agreed that the musical fish of the eastern coasts and of the West Indies is a large tidi. known to zoologists as the Po gouias chromis. it prows to a iciigin of about live feet, and swims about in shoals In its gullet there are thre movable plates, covered with large teeth and it is supposed that it is the action ot these that produce the drumming sound. Of course, anything like a real voice would Ik; an impossibility; but the least noise travels a great way under water, and would be heard distinctly bv any one 011 its sur face. The Cingalese at Chilka Lake told Sir Emerson Teiment that the singer 1 h re were shell-fish, and he himself in clined to the same opinion; but it appears" very improbable to us that it is so. Utlier writers have suggested that the musician 1 a lish furnished w tli a sucking sippa ratus. bv means of whici; it can attach it self to the bottom of a ship or boat, and that its musical instrument is the row of suckers on its head. There is, however, very little evidence to support this theory. The fact, that by applying the ear to the side of the boat, the volume of the sound is increased, proves nothing; for, of course, in any case, the timber, by its superior conducting power, would produce tliis effect. Moreover, the music has been heard in places where no sucking-fish has ever been seen or caught. The fishermen at Salsettc, near Bombay, attribute the power to a small fish very like the com inon iH-rch ; and those at the Bay of Pailon say that it is a white fish, with bluish spots on the back, and about ten inches long, which they catch on the spot during the performance. The great difficulty is that the mere hooking of a fish near the boat can afford vary littl information, for it might have Ix en swimming near the sur face, while the real performers were feed ing quietly at the bottom. Our impres sion is that there are at least two species of musical fish oue the Phogonias, of Xorth America and the West Indies, capable only of the monotonous drumming described by Professor Kingsley ; the other a species not yet determined, and possibly never yet captured. This musical fish, which has been heard alike in salt, brackish, and fresh water, probably, like so many others, ascends the rivers "at certain periods to spawn. It is found both north and south of the equator iu the Indian Ocean, and all through the Eastern Archipelago ; doubt less it exists also among the islands of the Pacific, and thus has an unbroken range from the shores of India to those of Ecua dor. Stranger still are the blind fishes of Xorth America, which dwell all their lives in the utter darkness of subterranean riv ers, where sight would be useless to them, and a beautiful development of the sense of touch takes its place. In the central portion of the United States there is a great tract of country which yields abundant supplies of coal, and underlying these coal-learing strata there is a vast system of limestone rocks. These are traversed by hollow veins, fissures, and caves, through many of which flow underground streams, forming here and there miniature lakes. It is in these dark waters that the blind fish are found. In the great Mam moth Cave of Kentucky there are four sjie cies of these singular creatures. These are known as the Amblyopsis spcloeHi, and its allv,the TvphlUthys subterraneus, which are totally blind, and two other varieties, the Chologaster cornutus, and the Cholu gaster Agassizii, which are partudly so. The Amblyopsis and Typhlicthys resemble each other veiv closely, the chief differ ence between tfieni beiiigr that the former is more than twice as long as the latter. The Amblyopsis is four or five inches in length, and perfectly colorless. The eyes are imperfect and sightless; indeed, they can only be found by removing the thick skin which covers and conceals them. But another sense performs their office; all over their heads are minute papilla? or feelers, communicating by nerves with the brain ; and so delicate are these new or gans that the slight movement of the wa ter round them, as another fi-h swim by. isenough to indicate to the Antbly ps s how far distant it is. and in what direction ; and it darts ujhui and seizes it a easily as a pike captures its prey in a sunlit river. The little Ch logaster possess imperfect sight; indeed, "they have been found liv ing in wet ditches in the fields of the Southern States; but in the caves it is use less to them, and the Amf'fyopsii feels for them iu th dark and hunts them down with perfi-et ease and certainly. Probably there is in the whole range of natural his tory nothing more wonderful than tlii de velopment of a new sense by the fishes of the Mammoth Cave. Our third example, the volcano ti.-h is remarkable more on account of the cir cumstances in which it is sometimes found than of any great peculiarity of structure. This fish is an inhabitaut of some of the mountain lakes on the slopes of the An des, in some instances as high as 10.000 feet above the level of the sea. It is known to the natives as the Preguadilla. and zoologists have bestowed on it the name of Arges Cyelopum. The fish is small in size ; the head is large and round, with prominent eyes and a large tentacle on either side. From this the body tapers awav to the tail, which is broad and fork ed. "The dorsal fin extends along almost the entire length of the back, and the ven tral and pectoral fins are large and well developed. In the lakes w here it lives, it appears to be by no means numerous and vp would nerhans never have heard of it, but for its connection with the vol canic phenomena ol the Andes. In 1C01, during the eruption of the vol cano of Imbaburu, thousands of pregna dillas were thrown out by the mountain. and fell in showers in the streets of the town of Ibara. which stands at its bae, and in the fields around. They a- cumulated in immense heaps, and putrefying under the tropica sun, spread a lever an ttirougn the district. A lew years aiier, w nen, on tliel'itn of June. 1G0S. the cone of Cargua- rizao fell in, fissures opened in the sides of the mountains, streams 01 mud and mil lions ot fish came pouring out, and tne same disastrous effect ensued. Again, on the 4th of February, 1797 during the earthquake which destroyed Iiibambao in Ecuador, chasms openeu 111 uie lower pari of the volcano of lunguragua. which overlooks the city, and emitted vast quan tities of water and lend mud. in some places the valleys were filled to the depth of hundreds of feet, and in the mud and water there were thousands of dead preg nadillas. But the most remarkable in stance on record is that of the eruption of Cotonaxi in 1S03, which was witnessed and described by the illustrious Humboldt. On that occasion the mountain threw out a shower of fish, some dead, and perfectly old and raw. others half baked, and a c-ood many alive and uninjured, notwith standing their fierv flight from the loftie crater in the world. Writers on the subject have tried in vain to fully account for these strange occur rences". One thing is evident that the chief abodes of the pregnadillas are not the open lakes, but subtemmean waters, oerhans communicating with them, but hidden away within the Andes. Here thev dwell in countless numbers in dark obscurity, until the volcanic force work ing out for itself a new path through the mountain, or the earthquake cleaving its sides asunder, breaks into their retreats and pours them out on the surrounding valleys. Chambers s Journal. Breaking it Gently. " Y'es, I remember that anecdote," the Sunday-school superintendent s id. with the old pathos in his voice, and the old sad look in his eves. " It was about a simph creature named Higgins. that used to haul rock for old Maltbv. When the lamented Judge Baglev tripped and foil down the Court-house'stairs and broke his neck, it was a great question how to break the news to poor Mrs. Bagley. But finally the body was put into Higgins' wagon, and he was instructed to take it to Mrs. B.. but to be very guarded and discreet in his lan guage, and not break the news to her at once, but do it gradually and gently. When Higgins got there with his sad freight, he shouted till Mrs. Bagley came to the door. Then he said, " Docs the widder Bagley live here?" " The widow Bagley ? Ao. sir ! " "I'll bet she does. But have it your own way. Well, does Judge Bagley live here?'' " Yes. Judge Bagley lives here." " 1 11 bet he don't. But never mind, it ain't for uie to contradict. Is the Judge in ? " " Xo. not at present." " I jest expected as much. Because, you know take hold o'suthin, muni, for I'm a-going to make a little communication, and 1 reckon maybe it'll jar you some. There's been aii accident, mum, I've got the old Judge curled up out here in the wagon, and when you see him you'll ac knowledge your-clf that an inquest is about the only thin? that could be a com fort to him." Mark Twain. Water as an Explosive. A question brought before the Literary and Philosophical' Society of Manchester by Professor Osborne Kevnolds will per haps rescue an important fact from the re gion of torgetf'ulness. It is the explosive ness of water. If water could only be got to explode it would be far more powerful than gunpowder; but that is the difficul ty, for the water, instead of exploding, tiies away in steam. Professor Piaz.i SinVth, writing on the subject, states that he ha tried to explode water by pushing a drop into melted lead; but the drop could by no means be persuaded to go be low the sin face. But "when he took a small iron ladle, put a drop of water on the bottom of it, and gave therewith a lit tle pat to the surface of the melted lead, instantly the whole contents of the great ladle were scattered to the winds, and only a few grains were recovered. Explosion of water had apparently taken place with excellent effect." Here is a problem for some enterprising mechanic. A machine to explode water drop by drop would economize all the heat of the coal, and have great power. It is on record that certain large copper-works were blown up by one of the workmen spitting into a ladle of molten copper. In that case the fluid exploded, instead of passing off' in steam. The Latest Literary Forgery. For some time past a poem entitled "Binley and '4(i" has been going the rounds of the press, purporting to have been written by Bret Harte. Of course 1 he average editor on seeing a poem by Bret Harte grabbed his shears and cut it out to reprint. It finally reached Frank Leslie's, and was given the benefit of a full page illustration by Matt. Morgan. The poem appeared for the first time in the Onm Letter, and its history is as follows : Some weeks ago one ot the editors of the Onen Letter made the assertion that a poem written in the style of any well- known poet, no matter how absuru. wouiu lie copied clear to the Atlantic seaboard. This noint was disputed, and accordingly the poem was written in the Open Letter olliee as a contribution by Bret Harte, and Diihlished as such. The result was a ex pected.

Small fish, which are usually fried, because of the difficulty ot cooking them in any other way, may be baked as follows : Stew ani strain canned tomatoes, and add an equal measure of line wheat-meal bread crumbs, or enough to make it keep its shape when placed on a dish. This may be suited and seasoned with minced onion and thyme, or not, accord ing to taste.

A Blind Leader of the Blind. The remarkable faculty of James Moore, a man thirty-live years old and blind from hi birth, is thus described by the Clevc land (l iliiol Herald: "One vear ago Dr. D. 15. Smith of this eirv removed the halls of his eyes from 1 head and .Mr. Moore ha been employed in his nfhVe since that time for the purpo-i of receiving visitors when the doctor is ab sent. He appears m every respect unier ent in his movement lrom ordinary blind persons, and, as he wears green glasses, few persons who meet him are a ware of his infirmity. When desired to go on an er rand, hi finds his way without difficulty, and he has rendered 'himself so familiar with the streets of Cleveland that he rarely has to inquire. Although he carries a cane, he hardly ever permits it to touch the sidewalk, seeming to be guided by in tuition away from contact with o stacles. Hi sense of hi aring is so acute that he is able to state whether a street is narrow or broad by means of the sound of the foot steps of persons passingalong on the oppo site side. When crossing a street he man ages to avoid the vehicles, "topping and vaiting in the mid 1 - if necessary until the way is clear, it lieing indicated to him by sound. He is frequently sent td conduct blind patients who do "not possess his wonderful faculty, to Charity Hospital from his employer's ollice. Sometimes he will walk, guiding their tottering steps, and at others will take a street car. station ing himself 011 Euclid avenue and inquir ing iM'lore stepping oil board if it i the right one. He can remove every speck of dust from the furniture of an ollice or parlor, handling the most fragile articles without breaking or damaging them in the least." Some Facts About Horses. It seems to be the fashion just now to record the good qualities of particular horses. We are told of one animal which, abandoned in a California snow-storm, w a kept alive with food furnished by the rail road men at a desolate station near, and finally brought out of the snow safe and sound after a three weeks' imprisonment. So much for endurance. As for gratitude, here is an animal in Kentu ky which re cently became painfully and dangerously entangled with a cart, and which, after being rescued, considered the matter a mo ment, and then quietly rubbed his nose against the shoulders ot the one who was most active in helping him. A horse with a memory is describi-d as having been iu the habit of going to a river about one third of a mile from hi stible and there bathing, afterward rushing off to a com mon to roll on the grass, and then with the freedom of air starting for home, li he met his master he would show some coltish pranks, bound for the stable, pull out the wooden pin that fasteiw the door with his teeth, ami rush to the manger where he expected to find his food. One night the horse was stolen from the stable, and after sixteen years his owner saw driven up to an inn door one which looked exactly like him. The driver agreed to give him up if he would go through the performance detailed above. Accordingly he was taken to his old yard, looked over the premises a little while, then started for his old bath-tub, then for his green towel 011 the common, then to his old stable, pulled the wooden pin. w on for himself a good meal and torhis old master his favor ite horse. If longevity be a good quality, then here are several animals deserving recognition. One living at Bradford, X. II.. is forty-nine years old, and doesn't look like departure yet. Another, exhib ited last fall at the Pennsylvania State Fair, is a white-headed veteran of forty one, which has never been sick a single dav. Another iu Kentucky is thirty-three years old, and might live to be a great deal older were it not for entire loss of teeth. Au excellent old pony in Xew Haven h is come to thirty-five summers, and is still active and useful, though somewhat gray. The Cat.

Yu may kill one, az yu hav a mind to, and they will begin life anew iu a few minetts. with a more flattering prospektus. Dogs I love, they carry their kndenshuis in their faces, and kant hide them, but the bulk of a cat s reputashun lays buried in tlieir stumuk. az unknown tew themselfs az tew enny boddy else.

A correspondent of the Hartfort Times, writing from Cuba, makes this statement: Xo doubt the reader will open hi eyes at oysters growing on trees. Often have I seen the sneer of unbelief on the face of the ignorant when the fact has been men tioned : but grow they do. and in immense quantities, especially in the southern part of the island. I have seen miles of trees, the lower stems and branches of w hich were literally covered with them, and many a good meal have I enjoyed with very little trouble of procuring. I simply placed the branches over the tire, and when opened I picked them out w ith a fork or pointed stick. These peculiar shell-fish are indigenous in lagoons and swamps on the coast, and as the tide w ill nse and the spray fly so will they cling to the lower parts ot the mangrove trees, sometimes four or five feet deep, the mangrove lieing one of the very few trees that flourish in salt water.
