A Search for Hidden Treasures, At the present time it is said that two expedi- tions, sustained by considerable ital, are poreuing the search for Captain Kidd's monag, one somewhere in New England and the other at Oak Island, Nova Scotia. No one has for- gotten the large sumsof money sunk in a cotier- dam on the North river, afew years since, in. the search after one of Kidd's vessels loaded with gold and silver and diamonds; and it is probable that the two expiditions above-named are not the only seekers. Here and there, along our thores, it is not uncommon to see one, two or three individuals pursuing the same search. On the whole, it is probable that's great many peo- ple really believe that the treasure may found. A few facts, therefore, where there is so much taney, may be worth recalling. names in literature of England and English g the last century ands It, n William Kidd, the pirate. In the nursery legend, in story, and in song, his nzme bas stood forth as the boldest and bloodiest of buccaneers: The terror of the ocean, when abroad, he re- turned from his successive voyages to line our levil a league, cemented witn the blood of tims shot down, whenever fresh returns of the precious metals were to be hidden. Accord- ing to the superstitions of Connecticut and Long Island, it was owing to these bloody charms that | honest money-diggers have ever experienced so much difficulty m recovering the buried | treasures. Often, indeed, have the lids of the | from chests rung beneath the matiock of the | stealthy midnight searcher tor gold; but the flashes of sulphurous fires, blue and red, and the ee and chattering teeth of legions of demons have uniformly interposed to frighten the delvers from their posts and preserve the treasures from their greedy clutches. Bat not- withstanding the harrowing sensations con- neeted with the name of Kidd, and his renown as a pirate, he was but one of the last and most inconsiderable of that race of sea-robbers, who, during a long series of years in the seventeenth century, were the admiration of the world for their prowess, and its terror for their crimes. In the latter part of the seventeenth century Kidd was in command of a merchant ves- sel trading between New York and London, and was celebrated for his nautical skill and enterprise. The first’ mention of him in authentic colonial eceurs in 1691, in which year the “Jo of the New York Assembly” tell us that on the i8th day of April mach credit was allowed to be due him “ for many services done for the province, in attending with his vessels.” But m what capacity or for what object he thus attended with his vessels does was also declared that he ough’ rewarded. Accordingly, on the 1ith of May following, it was ordered by the same Assembl iy “that the sum of £150 be paid to Caj Kid asa suitable acknowledgment for the import- ant benefits which the colonies had received from his hands.” The presumption is that these services were in some way connected with the protection of the colonial merchant marine from the attacks of the expo who were at that time hovering along the coasts of the northern colonies. Indeed, the harbor of New York was no stranger to the pirate vessels, and the commerce between them and the “ peo” ple of figure” in this city was not inconsiderable. t was no great secret that the pirates were fre- quently in the Sound, and were freely supplied with provisions by ‘the inhabitants of Long Island; and still further, it was well known in fitted out their vessels in the very harbor of New York itself. On the arrival of the pirate vessels from their cruises, their goods were openly sold in the city; aud the conduct of the colonial gov- ernment was such that collusion, if not direct | partnership, between them and the authorities | was not doubted. Such was the condition of affairs, when Rob- ert Livingston, of New York, recommended to Governor Rellamont Captain Kidd, as a man of rage, well acquainted with the es and their piaces of rendezvous, and as ne in all respects fit to be entrusted with the | command of a vessel engaged in such difficult | service. A ship was accordingly procured and | equipped, and placed under the command of Kidd, who sailed from ww York under a regu- | lar commission, in April, 1696. For a time he served faithfully; and on hisreturn from his tirs: voyage be was received with public honors and awarded another grant of £250. But pn his next | voyage he stretched away to the Indian Ocean and became a pirate himself: Select! Isiand of Madagascar as his principal piace of | rendezvous, and barning his own ship, after | capturing One that suited him better, his depre- | ms upon commerce are represented to haye dat been great. It is beyond doubt true that Long Tsk Sound_ conta several of his hidi “Kidd's Rook” is well known at Man! upon Long Island, to this day Here he is some of his trea attempts of the «: to the hidden gold. ‘There is no doubt that he was wont to hide himself and his vessel among those curious Sechem’s Head Harbor, called tl In addivion to the “Pirate's C on one of these roc’ sheltered from the view oi the sound, a beauti- ful artificial excavation of an oval form, hold- ing, perhaps, the measure of a barrel, called | ds Punch ; It was here, ac cording to the ions of the neigh- berhood, that he used to carouse with his crew. It is a fact beyond controversy that he was accustomed to anchor his vessel in Gardner's Bay. On one occasion, in the night, | he landed upon Gardner's Island and requested | Mrs. Gardner to provide a supper for himself | and attendants. Knowing his desperate charac tershe dared not refuse; and fearing his dis- pleasure she took great pains, especially in roasting a pig. ‘The pirate chief was so pleased | with her culinary success that on going away he | presented her with a cradle blanket of gold | cloth. dt was of velvet inwrought with gold, and very rich.

HOW AN INVENTOR STRUGGLED AND WON. In the Scientific American we find a of the struggles and ‘of au inventor | 2 ae preservation. The substance of it is as ollows: ‘Th 1858, Mr. Thomas Sheehan, of Dunkirk, N. ¥., foreman in the blacksmith department of the Erie Railway shops at that place, patented a sub- marine grapple, which, ‘an ingenious in- vention, proved to be one for which there was little demand. ‘This was his first invention; and the cost of its completion, together with one year’s struggle to manufacture and introduce it, completely exhausted Mr. Sheehan's means, and reduced him to the extremest poverty. le was, in fact, in pretty nearly the same condition as Palissy the Potter, at the moment of his greatest distress. A wife and eight children. Sheehan's family were reduced to the verge of destitution, and Mrs. Sheehan beeame unconsciously bitter. Just at thiserisis Mr.S. D. Colwell, general freight agent of the Erie Railroad at Dunkirk, chanced to meet Mr. Sheehan in the streets of hat town, and accosted him with: Well, Thomas, how are the grapples? I they have used you up.” Yes,” was the answer, “the grapples have Gone my business; I wish I had never seen them.” Throw ‘em away,” ad “Have you any now finished * Thave one almost done said Thomas.” “Finish that; I will pay you $40 for it, and have it used for picking up coal at the dock The money will help you in your present emer- gency, and you can go back to your old place in the shop and earn a good living for your iamily.”” “7 will id Thomas. Back to his humble home went the inventor, With new hope in his breast, and set himself to finish the grapple with all due speed. But, upon what slender threads do the fortunes of men hang! A tap, the only one our inventor had of the ‘size required, suddenly snapped asunder, and, as it was essential to the progress of the work, he must have anew one or he could not go on. mn In this strait, he applied to his wife to lend him 25 cents to ‘buy Ue necessary steel to forge the tap. Butshe, having no faith in the ple, refused, for two very good reasons—hrst, that she believed the money would be thrown away if she gave it to her husband; and second, that she had not the money to give him, even if so disposed. The refusal was seasoned with some very hot word-spice that made it un- palatable to Thomas, But he bethought of a merchant who, in brighter days, had seen the color of his money, and who, perhaps, would now give him for the small modicum of steel be required for the tap. bad this genie he — = somewhat reluctant to prefer bis request, began beating about the bush; and finally straying into poli- ties, hot words between them, and our friend, feeli manliness would suffer too keenly by asking credit for the steel, came y without it. With no definite purpose he went home, pon- dering upon how he should surmount this, now no trifling obstacle of the broken tap. He found his wife making lye for soft ba but her acidity in no way neutralized by the alkaline reaction. Despondent and discouraged, he sat down in no very enviable mood, when he chaneed to spy a piece of iron lying near the tubs at which his spouse was working. Medi- tating upon how he could make that of iron hard enough for a tap, he was led to a rather rude experiment, the results of which have in the end made him a richer man than he ever dreamed of being. = Itso happened that trom a distant relative, a Roman Catholic priest in Ireland, our friend had inherited quite a library of works on chem- istry, some of them rare and valuable. He had read some of these books to very “There is surely carbon in that “l Mr. Colwell. he. “If I only could get that c the proper proportion, I shoulg have steel, and f that my tap, and so finish my grapple.” With little taith or hope that he should suc- ceed, he took some of the lye, and adding, Without any particular reason for so doing, some saltpetre and common salt, made a paste with this solution and a hard gradged saucerfui ot the little remaining flour there was in the house. | He then forged the tap, and, enveloping it in | the paste, put the whole into a lated iron box and exposed it to heat for two hours in a black- | smith’s fire. To his joy and surprise, when he took it out, it was hard enough to cut cast steel. rhe grspple was finished, and forty dollars | owed into the family treasury of Thomas | Sheridan.

Having a great deal of case hardening to do, he thoagh one day he would repeat the expe nt upon a large scale, which he did with perfect succens.

The whole account is more like an incident of the sixteenth century, when the taking off of an individual w » existence thwarted the interest or de- another was a matter of course. The Wagoner case illustrates the old story of the nck of harmony between May and December, but carried out to the bitter end, the uncon- geniality resulting from the disparity of the ages of the mated bat mnmatched pair, first produc- ing neglect and cruelty, and’ culminating in a desire to remove ‘the hated object by anticipating an event which in the course of Nature could not have been delayed mach longer. The fact that but four or five thousand dotia 1 the property owned by the mar- i man—was the prize for the devilish work, would encourage the notion that something other than cupidity and dislike of the husband | ad instigated the woman, but there was no evidence given of the existence of an “affinity.” ‘The testimony at the inquest showed that ev: parti ' affection for Wagoner on the part wife had been lost, if it ever existed. je no sceret of her feelings, and had be. fore others threatened to break Ler hasband’s neck, and openly declared that she married him only for his money. SI hated the man but loved his pelf, and therefore adopted, as she thought, an ef!eetual method for gratifying both fe y putting away the one and retaining | the other. She, however, lacked the courage to personally carry out her plan; but @ ready instrument was at hand, in the shape of a I Froeming, who undertook to “ physic” the old husband with strychnine for the magniti- cent sum of two hundred dollars, and that pert of the arrangement was faith’ ccumb- r one dose from this modern Esculapian A brother of the woman was also, ac- to the doctor's confession, engaged in 1, he having acted as the go-between to u and manner of the marder.
