A KOBBEU'S CAVE- An Alle od Dlecovory of Dlnmondi Watches , and Jo-wolry by the Pock Moixauro. "Col. Jnmos A. Alexander , tin Onllatin banker nnd capitalist , rontei his farm near that place fire year ago , " aaya n correspondent of tin Cincinnati Enquirer , "to a line look ing farmer who gnvo his name na . P J. Howard. The rents have nlwayi boon paid promptly , and Mr. Alex under always considered him a goo < tenant. Howard was away from hoim a great deal , and the management o the place was loft to an old negro am his wifo. A month ago all three dis appeared , and nothing moro was hoan of thorn until Col. Alexander recoim the following loiter , postmarket Sodaliai Mo , ; SKDALIA , Mo. , April22 , 1882-CoL JAMES ALEXANDKB , G-illalm Do i Sir , I hare vacated your ] > roiniso forovor. I thank you for your man ] courtesies extended to your mystor ions tenant known as Howard. Visi the care on your farm , and you wil flud something to interest you. ] shall avcngo the death of my brotho : or die in the attempt. I am , air yours with respect , FIIANK JAMES , alias P , J. Howard. "Tho colonel was astonished to Tint that ho had boon on terms of ititi macy with so noted an outlaw as tin great tnxin-robbor , the moro so fron the fact that Howard appeared to b < a perfect gcntlortmn and a man of bus incsa. Half a dozen of his intimate frionJs and employes were called together gother , and it was decided to make f visit to the cave , they loft the towr that evening for the farm. To relict were procured , and the party set out , armed with revolvers and knives , the mysterious nature of the letter nnd their visit making thorn fool a little fearful that all might not provo 01 pleasant as they oxpcctod. On entering the cave , a place that does not seem to hare boon known to any one in the vicinity except the pro- prioter , and which had boon used during the war as a hiding-plnco for contraband goods , a strange sight mot their eyes. Lying on the floor close to each other were the skeletons of four horses from which the flesh had fallen away , and around them were blankets , saddles , brushes , and n math ess. Near by was a collection of pots and kettles that had been left with the soot nnd grease on thorn , just as they had been taken from the liro. The ceiling and walls were dry , and there were evidences on all sides that it had boon used as a hiding place for men nnd horses. A measure , such as is used by farmers to deal out food to their cattle , eat on a lodge rock be yond the skeletons , nnd was found to contain a collection of jewelry and ar ticles of value that looked as if they had been captured by the robbers in n raid on some largo jewelry storo. There were twelve open and hunt ing case eilvcr watches , sixteen plain gold rings , twenty-nine gold watches , nine solitaire studs , two diamond nooklacos , and four diamond ring * among their plunder , which is estima ted to bo worth over $5,000. Thcso were taken back to Gollatin and placed in the vault of the Summer Deposit bank to await claimants , n photograph of a young woman , bear ing the imprint of n IBardstown pho tographer , was picked up on the floor by ouo of the party. Five or six of the watches arc old1 ones that have boon used , and bear the monograms of their owners. Ono of them has the word * , " From Hughes to Tonoy , " engraved on the inner case. The discovery , which was reported by messenger , scorns to have caused a great deal of excite ment in the place , and a party con taining Judge Vetrols , Col.Tyroo Boll , Gen. Guthno , Cnpt. Withorspoon , and other gentlemen , have visited the upo't. The st'pry , which there is no reason to doubt except that Frank James does Hot write such letters , haa not been confinnod , but is generally believed. " Mr. lleubon Turner.No. 1230 Carleton - ton street , Philadelphia , Pa. , writes that his wife had boon a terrible suf ferer with inflammatory rheumatism. A physician whoso skill stands un questioned by any ono had been at tending her , but only did her a little good. She began to use St. Jacob's Oil , and experienced relief at the first application , and before she had uaod half a bottle she was able to come down stairs. Mrs. Turner attributes her remarkable recovery entirely to St. Jacob's Oil. The BOB * Milkmaid from Coulson Bottom. Helena ( Mont. ) Herald. A Yellowstone dairy hand struck on hin employer and quit work on the difference of $10 a month wages. Yesterday ho rolled in through the bottomless mud on the westward com ing couch , and to-day was looking about town and inquiring the nearest cut to the Priokly 1'our milk ranch. "I'm the boss milkmaid of Coulton Bottom , I ami" ho exclaimed to a crowd gathered about the foot of Broadway enjoying an after April shower sunbath. "What's that I hoar ? " put in a cor ner listener , whoso curiosity was touched by the rather queer remark. "I'm just what I claim to bo , you bet your squeezers , " replied the etran- gor , putting his muscular paws through what was taken for an exercise mo tion ; "I can strip moro milk out of a cow in loss time than any 'udder * man in those or any other parts , and don't my of you mnko the mistake to lay I can't. " An idler suggested that ho had milked cows to some extent himself trhon a youngster. "Likely enough , but you don't 'pear to mo to bo a man much in practise now , Down at Coulson I handled [ ifty COWB a day which went eight juarts to the head to the milking , and sold to customers 1,200 quarts every aight and morning. " "Twolvo hundred quarts of milk Dut of fifty cows ? That otrikos mo as ibout twenty-four quarts to the cow ? " remarked ono of the crowd , " 0 , I'm no liar , " retorted the itrangor ; "milk from the cow and Tiilk in the can ain't always the same rtlclo , if you hoar mo talk , Down tlong the railroad grade it's ono part ) f ono thing and two parts of another , ind the boss and the Scandunava and ; ho Yellowstone riyor all know it. " "That's a pretty thin story , utran- { or. " "Think BO , do you ? Wellit iau't near as thin as the milk that old n probate I worked for at Coulson fui tiishcd the railroaders. Ho gets 2 cents for water for every 10 conls h gets for milk. And the old frau wanted mo to work for 830 nnd I ar up hero for a now engagement. " The stranger stepped out towan the valley , repealing over again hi boast of being "tho boss milkmaid o Coulson Bottom. " Womnn'i Trno Friend. A friend In need U n friend Indcvil.

About a year ago a young mat named Conovcr had a dream that t largo lump of gold could bo found it a certain plnco on a farm then occu pied by his father in Limn township but took no notice of the circumstixnc further than to toll his father of it but about n week ago the young HIM again had the same dream , nnd in tin morning again told his father. Th young man remembered the oxnc location which ho saw when dreaming and the father proposed to the soi that they investigate. They proceed ed to the spot , and after sticking tin pick into the ground several times struck what they suppoaod to bo r rock. They dug it out , and suri enough it looked like n huge lump o gold , and when examined by thosi who professed to know , was doclarot to bo solid gold. The find weighed nine pounds , nnd contains $1,02 worth of the precious metal. It it probably some Indian rolio , as the shape of it is similar to the stone hatchets found in the mounds in this vicinity. The lump has boon soon by a number of people living in Limn township , and this find is particularly acceptable to Mr. Oonover a family , ua they are said to bo poor people. Quincy Whig.

"Those flowers for her ? " "Well or urn yes. " "I'll give "em to her see her later , " said the obliging man. "Will you ? That's very kind , surely. " "Oh , not nt all , " said the man , smelling the bouquet with the air of a connoisseur. "Anything else ? " "Well ahem ! yes. Just give her this pair of earnings. " "Certainly.
