Jones, of " Illinols, consul at” Barra quila, e Digging For Buriea Treasure, BurraLo, March 19, —[Special Telegram to the Ber.)—The people of Welland, Ont., are very much excited over the efforts of Dexter Allwood of that village to secure a fortune by raking themuddy bottom of the Chippewa river, During the war of 1812 some half a milllon pounds of gold were dropped over- board by the British Juuaser, who was hotly pursued by the Yankee cutter Legund. The story has been current, in the village for years. .The money was never recovered, and @ few days ago Allwood startled everybody b{ bringing an experienced diver and begin- ning an exploration of the river bed. No money has yet been found, bnt it was asserted that the magnet used yes- terday showed the presence of metal in proximity, and the searchers have great hopes. It is a question if he recovers the money whether the government will allow him to retain possession unmolested. e A Wealthy Preacher's Will, Ciicaco, 1L, Mareh 19.—The will of the late Rey.

B., director of the nat- ural history museum, ,mvo adescriprion of the two skeletons of Akkas, lately ob- tained in the Monbuttu country, Cén- tral Africa, by Emin Pasha. Since this diminntive tribe was discovored by Schweinsurth in 1870, they have re- ceived considerable attontioe from vari- ous travelers and anthropologists, and general deseriptions and movements of several living individuals have been published, but no account. of their osteological characters has been given, and no specimens have been submitted 1o eareful apatomical éxamination, Thoe two skeletons are those of fully mwu-ur people, amale and female. 'ho evidenee they afford entirely cor- roborates the view previously derived from extornal measurements that the Akkas are among the smallest, if not actually the smallest people upon the earth. These skeletons are both of them smaller than any other normal skeleton, smaller certainly than the smallest Bushman'’s skeleton in any museum in this country, and smaller than any out of the twenty-nine skele- ton’s of the diminutive inhabitants of the Andaman Islands, of which the di- mensions have been recorded by Prof. Flower iu a previous communication to the Anthropological Institute. The height of neither of them exceeds 1.219 ‘metres, or 4 feet, while a living female Akka, of whom Emin Pasha has sent careful measurements, is only 1.164 metres, or barely 8 feet 10 inches. The results previously obtained from the measurements of about half a dozen liv- ing Akkas are not quite so low as these, varying from 1.216 to 1.420 metres, and give an average for both seves of 1.356, or 4 feet 6% inches. But the numbers measured are not sufficient for establish- ing the true average of the race, especially as it is not certain that they were all pure bred examples. According to Topinard’s list, there are only two known races which have a mean height below 1,500 metres, viz., the Negritorof the Adaman Islands (1.478), and the bushmen of South Africa (1.404), Of the real height of the former we have abundant and exact evidence, both from living individuals and from skeletons, which clearly proves that they considerably exceed the Akkas in stature. That this is also the case with the Bushmen there is lit- tle doubt. The point of comparative size being settleéd,it remains to consider to what races the Akkas are most near- 1y allied. That they belong in all their essen- tial characteristics to the black or Neg- rold branch of the human species there can be no doubt—in fact, they exhibit all the essential characteristics of that branch even to exaggeration. The form of the head is somewhat more rounded than usual, but it has been shown that in Bquatorial Africa, ex- tending from the west coast far into the interior, are scattered tribes of negroes distinguished from a majority of the in- habitants of the continent by this spec- ial cranial character as well as by their smaller stature, to which the mame “Negrillo” has been applied lfiy Hamy. It is to this racc of the {\Ie rold branch that the Akkas belong, and they are not by any means closely allied, either to Bushmen or the Negritor of the Indian ocean, except in so far as'they are mem- bers of the same great branch, distin- gnished among the general character by their closely curled or frizzly hair. 16 is podkible that the Negrillo people gave origin to the stories of pygmies so common in the writings of ‘the Greek poets and historians, and whose habita- tions were often placed near the sources of the Nile. The name Akka, by which Schweinfurth says the tribe now call themselves, has, singularly enough, been read by Marietta Pasha by the side of the portrait of a dwarf in a mon- ument of the ancient Egyptian empire. —_———— THEY WERE THE PIONEERS. A Svone Which Tells the Story of Black Hill Argonants Fifty Years Ago. Chicago Inter-Ocean: Captain John Cashner, of the Black Hills, of Dakota, is at present visiting friendsin Chieago. Tn the courso of a pleasant chat with a reporter for the Inter-Ocean about that far region of nature’s richest treasure’s, he related many interesting episodes of his enrly life there, but perhaps the most imteresting of all was his story of the stone found at S rfish, near De: wood, upon which is inseribed the - tory of the earliest penetration of white men into the hills, written in a hand trembling with the weakness of death itself, by the last survivor of that faved expedition. his stone, irregular in shape, and about ten inches by eight in size, was found March 15, 1877, by Lewis Thorne, a stonemason of Spearfish. It was found accidentally, carefully concealed under a larger stone, and 80 placed as tobe protected from the elements. Upon one side, traced in trembling lines, but still legible, are the words: “Came to these hills in 1833 seven of vs De Lacompt Ezra Kind G W Wood T Brown R Kent Wm King Indian crow all ded but me Ezra Kind Killed by Inds beyond the high hill got our gold June 1834,” On the other side is written: A “Got all of the gold we could carry our pony all got by the Indians I have lost my gun and nothing to eat and indians hunting me,” - “The traditions of the Indians,” said Captain Cashner, ‘‘bear out tho story of this stone. Willinm Gay, an old scout and hunter in the hills, has got the same stary from the Indians, They tell of a band from their tribe who were out hunting one day and found the waters of tne Whitewood, muddled as they supposen by beavers. They followed up the stream to find the game, and came upon this K\m'ty of gold hunt- ers. According to the traditions of the Indians, a large party were on their way west across the plains, when some of " them became ~dissatisfied and branched off into the Black Hills. The rost of the party hus never, that I know of,been heard from, The Indians, find- ing this little band at work, sweépt down on them and took their gold and their lives, Kind being the only one who escaped.” 50 much for the history,” said Cap- tain Cashner. ‘*‘Since this information came into my possession I have en- deavored to find some trace of the his- tory of these early explorers, and I have received a letter from a man in Troy, Mo,, who states that his uncle, Thomas Brown, accompanied by a man named Richard Kent, joined a large party of gold hunters in'1833 and went west, but ihat nothing has ever been heard of them since. There is also a family of De Lacomptes living in Nebraska, with whom I shall eommupicate. But this,” added Captain Cashner, *'is undoubtedly the first gold taken out of the Black Hills, and as there is reliable evidence “ i*u having been sold bold by the In- afs to the agents of ‘the ifudson Bay compauny for $1,800, it must have been a rich find.” e e A large sawfish, fourteen feet in length, was caught in the bay at the mouth of the Myalka river, in Florida, last'week., Dr. King, of Boston, made the unusaal catch wgilo fishing for tar- pon’ with a hook and line, HANGING IN THE BALANCE.

Rep Oak, Ta, March 10.—~A wreck oc- curred in the yard of the Q" at this place yesterday. As the noon freight was coming in on the Nebraska City branch the engineer was forced to get up an extra speed to make the grade and curve at the entrance of the yard. When too late he saw that ono of the switches was misplaced and he immediately roversed his engine, but not, however, until the engine had struck on the side track, Two cars were completely demoralized and the end was knocked out of the engine. No one was hurt. C. I. Mahrenholz with his force are now clearing away the wreck.

The Pathetic Fate of the YoungWidow. of a Famous Chicago Lawyer. Uhim\i:o Inter-Ocean: Up in the Nee Ban building, 210 State street, {s a little second-hand shop,opened yestérday and placed in charge of a sweet young woman with big, dark eyes, pale cheeks and thick, black hair. On racks and skeletons hang empty dresses—dresses for shopping, for the matinee, the promenade, the drawing - room, church, the lounge and the fireside; gowns of satin and lace hanglimp across table tops and chair backs; wrappers of papanese crape, shot with tiny bees, ‘butterflies, and birds,make little clothes piles about the floor, and on a long table are tiny slippers, rich furs, bright flowers, fluffy plumes, filmy scarfs, and bonnets that cost not a penny less then $50 when new, making in all a mournful mass of finery. The goods were once the pride of Mrs. Emery Storrs, who now resides on the North Side in a quiet little home with her great grief for a companion, and a heart full of anxiety for her futuro. The trosseau is made up of odds and ends, but the material is of excellent quality, and besides getting good value for the money invested, the buyer will be benefiting the relict of one of Chicago’s most distinguished lawyers. The prettiest bits in the lot are two tea jackets, made of silk bolting cloth, with flowers embroidered in chenilles; these can be worn over a satin tea gown or silk skirt with exgxisite effect. very handsome Japanese drossing robe of scarlet lined quilted pongee is offered for $30, and the same value isput on a short suit of terra cotta silk lace flounc- ed. A tea coat of dark blue silk crepe is offered for $15, and if the buyer does not eare to wear it she can line it with quilted satin and have an artist’s idea of a piano or easel scarf, for the stuff is light and silky, and here and there are dainty birds and things in still life con- ventionalized, and hand wrought. A long reception dress of {’mlu yellow satin, gored with lue, might bo reconstructed at small cost, and there is an operacoat of white satin, brocaded with morning glories and fur-trimmed,that needs not a thread of alteration. One handsome gown for strect wear is a cloth of vich ruby red, with jacketand bonnet to match, and will gell for $3 and wear through twe seasons. The bonnets are really lovely ittle snug affairs made on fi'uld or silver net, lace trimmed, plumed with tips and pierced here and there with tiny gold pins. A big box plum full of mt{n poppies, linen tulips, silken roses, wavy plumes, and clusters of sprin and autimn blossoms are to be had for a song., And the slippers!-not much longer than a lead pencil, with block heels and pretty toes, beaded, bowed, or embroidercd, made in yellow, maroon, white and black satin, made in Paris, too, and as good as new. Yesterday more than 150 ladies climbed up to the little salesroom, mauled the gowns and flowers, ‘got the i s, satisfied their curiosity, and climbed down again---only two making purchases---both being actresses.
