La g e nd of Old Steuben Recalled by
A "a Recent Occurrence.
From the Sew York Sun.
H AMMCNDsroaT, Sept. 7.—A recent flood
. c arc p Brook, in the town of Woodhull,
"his c uaty, forced the creelc through its
“ ki on the farm of Sidney Harrington.
\Vbon tbfc waters subsided It was found
I. . Wire Of rock hail been exposed by
. shout. The rock contained a sub
■J* .i, a r j ie'ded to the knife like lead. A
ntitvof it was dug out of the stone.
Itas 'very and melted in a ladle
discovery has revived interest in the
.editions of Steuben county about lead
silver mines that were known only to
Jr Indians. One of these traditions located
lead mine in what is now the town of
Mocdbull, and citizens of that town believe
t at the laying lare by the flood of the
I,due with the traces of lead in it has given
uem a clew to the exact locality of the old
I. dian mine, and that there is now a prob
ability of the main deposit being discovered.
Other legends of mineral deposits and hid
den trea ures are recalled to old residents
of the county by this uncovering of the
ai'eced had ore in WoodbuU, the most
interesting of which has its scenes laid in
t a town of Jasper.
“The original settlers of Jasper believed
a confidently as they believed in anything
ti>at somewhere within the boundary of the
t wn a rich silver mine existed,” says an
cld resident cf Hammondsport, “and their
descendants, many of them, believe it stiU.
This belief is based on a legend. About the
breaking out of the French and Indian war
two Quaker brothers of the name of Dick
ies >n came into the Cohocton valley to
trade with the Indians. The brothers
gained the confidence of the Indians to such
an extent that the latter discovered to the
Quakers a silver mine, the existence of
winch had long been a secret with the In
dians. The mine was somewhere along
Ben et’s Creek. The brothers lost no time
in taking advantage of this discovery, and
thev w< rked the mine, the silver in which
was exceedingly pure, night ar.d day. The
treasure they took from the mine they
stored in a cave, the location of which was
known only to themselves, it being their in
tention, accordii g to the legend, to have it
remi ved to Philadelphia.
“The-e Quakers had another brother in
Philadelphia. There was also with them in
the woods a 1 old and trusted family ser
vant, but not old enough or
trusted enough, it would seem
by the tenor of the tradition, to be
taken into the confidence of'the wily Qua
kers. Near the close of the French and
Indian wars a stranger appeared one day at
the cabin of ti e Quakers, which was in the
deepest part cf the wilderness. He said he
hud stumbled upon the cabin by accident
as he was fleeing from pursuit, having de
serted from tie French army. Just where
the army wa-t e legend does not state.
The stra ger begged for food and shelter,
which we e gladly furnished to him by the
be evolent Quakers. That night, after he
lad retired to the couch of bearskins pre
pared for him in one c >rner of tbe cabin, he
overheard the Quakers talking about their
bidden treasure, and from what they said he
learned that they intended to start their old
sei vant the next morning on his way to
Piiiiudelpbia, with a message to their
bioilier here. This message was to give
the brother minute instructions as to the
1 c tion of the cave, so that he could find
it in case anything happened to the brothei s
in the wilde ness. T.is thoughtfulness on
Ihe part of the kind olu Qu ikers started the
stranger to thirlting a little on his own
see uur. Tbe result of his tanking was a
determination to kill the two Quakers in
the morning, then follow the old servant as
he wended Philadelphiaward, kill him, and
fos-ess himseif if the important message
himself and all that it implied. The legend
doesn’t say, but it is to be presumed that
the grateful French deserter then said his
prayer; and went to sleep.
“Early next morning the old servant,
with the fateful message hidden in his gar
ments, bade a tearful adieu to his masters
and turned his steps toward Philadelphia.
The French deserter, while thanking" the
Quakers for their hospitality, whipped his
knife from his boot or somewhere, and
stabbed them . o death. Then he followed
the old servant and at last overtook him.
He bu ied his knife in the faithful hench
man's back, and with ut any oxplanatio i
nil and him of tbe message. The servant died
right away, and the fie dish ex-soldier tore
o| en the paper that was to revoal to him
the storehouse of untold wealth. I suppose
lie was about the hottest man that over
li'ed when he found that the Quakers bad
been so i considerate as to write the mes
sage in cipher. The chances are that the
Frenchman just more than hopped
and swore in that primeval forest
although the legend doesn’t actually make
that declarati u. Ho was unable to fi id a
key that would solve the mystery of the
cipher, and the legend says that years after
ward a grinning skeleton was found, with
its bony hands clutching its skull where
there had presum.bly been hair at one
time, sitting at a crumbling tablo in the
Qu iker’s cabin, w hile before this reminis
cenee of a man lay a paper, yellow with
ago, and inscribed with mysterious figures.
Tne paper shook itself into impalpable dust
when it was touched, and the bones rattled
like a cast.net solo as they fell to the cabin
floor. Tne skeleton was accepted as that of
the French soldier, and the vanishing paper
was the Quaker’s cipher message, of course.
The Frenchman bad died while struggling
to solve it. That was all the satistaction
the legend would give the honest settlers
when they we .t to t at part of Steuben
county and preempted the wilderness.
“Now come so'me incidents connected
with this legendary treasure that are so
recent as to have been contemporary with
people who are living to-day, but they are
i one the less strange, j don’t know them
’iuo, but there are people who sav
they do know t em to be true. If they aro
they are stranger than a y lies I ever heard!
A man named G. egory Harding settled in
the town of Jasuer eighty years ago. Ho
made a clearing there. At that time the
■ y h r ecd of the silver mine and the Quaker’s
hidden cave of treasures was a suoject of
daily conversation among the scattered
sei t iers. Harding fca m’t been in tbe
locality lo g when be had a dr. am. H
dreamed tuat near his cabin there
u a cave ’ tho opening of
'finch was covered by a large flat stone,
upon which was a copper kettle. In the
save was stored enorni ms wealth in silver,
but it was guarded by two ghostly s-ntnels.
t.anling concluded not to investigate the
accuracy of this dream. Not long after
ward a twin brother of Harding joined him
in ilie wilderness. The first night he was
‘here this twin brother had a dream that
-Corresponded in every way with that, of
Gregory Harding. This was regarded by
tue two as corroborative evidence of the
cave s existence, and the brothers made a
search for the treasure trove. They found
tue locality just as they had seen it in
tueir and i earns, and discovered the copper
s'‘tt.o and the flat ro: k; but, remembering
the two spec'r. s that guarded the treasure
beneath, they resolved not to disturb the
hiding place further at that time, intend
ing to let some of tne other settlers in on
the ground floor, so to speak, in return for
their encouraging i .resence at the opening
Sl fne future time. The next day Gregory
Rat-ding was killed by a tree he was felling,
anu his brother was thrown from his horse
a d ki led. Tne secret of the cave’s locality
died wu* them.
"1 he late ot the Harding brothers seems
t“ havo discoi raged tbe settlers in dreaming
out the whereabouts of t e spectre-guarded
c.vern, and no effort was made to get at
capital it contained until ab ut
In that year the Rev. Anson Green
, Genesee valley, got hold of a scheme
to recover the Quakers’ wealth. Mr. Green
"as a Methodist preacher, and consequently
a* m need of some money. He bad found
® * a '*- v somewhere in Genesee county
. n . O “ad a remarkable piece of glass, by
o ilin g into which she had dme some
unde .ul discovering. He brought her
<al lr J aß P ar and set her to looking,
she only gave one look in her glass and
®-' v , just as plain ai day, tbe cave where
he trea i re of the murdered Quakers was
bidden, tne treasure itself, anu the exact
location of the cave. Mr. Green as ed her,
with some anxiety, if she could make out
with any distinctness the two specter
watchmen. Sue said she couldn’t see any
thing of them at all. Then Mr. Green told
her to come alo g, and ihey w ou.d go and
uncover tne riches and *ake it back to the
Geuessee with them. She went along and
found the place where tLe cave was, but at
that instant was stricke i blind, and was
unable to see a thing, even with tier magic
ala's. Dominie Green led her away to the
house of the Rev. J,-dediah Stephens, who
lived in the vicinity, *nd there she got her
sight back.
Dominie Green told what had happened,
and Dominie Stephens’ son Silas said he’d
like to take a hack at that glass. Silas
looked in the glass and saw tbe cave, and
all the appurtenances thereunto belonging,
but Silas was the only oue of the family
who could see it. Silas’ brother Nathan
wanted Silas to go right along with hipi,
and they’d find the cave and go snacks on
the silver, but SUas said he guessed hi
wouldn’t g<\ But Nathan insisted, and
at last Silas led the way toward
the cave. But there wasn’t any use.
Just as they got near the spot Silas
was stricken blind, the same as Dominic
Green’s seeress had been. Nathan told his
brother to i ever miud that but to just
discribe things t > him as he had seen ttiem
iu the glass; but then Silas, besides being
blind was suddenly knocked speechless, and
they had to come back. Silas got both his
-ight and his speeh when be reached home.
Since then foiks have been careful to let
the ghosts of those two unfortunate old
Quak rs alone in their watch of their treas
ure, and I really don’t believe now that
we’il ever get a hold of that snug board.”
AUSTRIA’S DASHING EMPRESS.
A Royal Horsewoman Who is Fond
of Cantering Around the Circus
Arena.
From the Philadelvhia Press.
Tho Empress of Austria was not bred for
the throne; it was her elder sister, who ex
pected to leave a dukedom for an empire.
Indeed, tho affair had gone far enough for
the papers to be ready to sign, and the
young emperor had come in person to the
castle to see his bride. Ho was alone in the
great historical hall, when the madcap
Princess Elizabeth, not knowing any one
was there, came into the room in a short
white frock and her lovely white curls
reaching below her waist. She paused
abashed on tho threshold, making an en
hanting picture, and bur-t into a ripping
laugh as she fled. He gave chase, ami an
hour later was found romping with her in
the rose garden. It is said that her sister in
ner rage spanked her, but in a few months
was obliged to humble herself and address
the despised child as “Your Imperial
Majesty.”
At this time she was of that peculiar
freshness of beauty which almost makes
one think of things good to eat;
childish, yet voluptuous, the type hot i
men and women feel drawn to, wishing to
touch, to kiss, to care s. The young mon
arch fell madly in love with her and over
powered all reason and counsel. Every
influence was brought to bear on him; her
youth, her lack of education, the unfitness
of her temperament for tho throne—be
hought of nothing but her smile, her laugh,
her liDs. The sister was forgotten and ho
conquered.
Viennese society is tho most formal, the
most exclusive and aristocratic in the world,
md refused to accept this young hoyden as
its queen.
See felt stifled with the formality of the
court —this select herd which felt itself so
above the re;t of the world, yet
whose greatest amusement was vulgar gos
sip. The court geography she could never
learn and the chase for scandal did not in
terest her. She preferred a mad gallop on
her favorite horse, with tho wind in her
teeth and her hair flying behind her.
The infinite number of gossiping card
parties forming tho on ly division of eight
harmed Viennese society, which prefers
gaming to dancing, fou ltd stories to circu
late of the shortcomings of their sovereign’s
choice; as she was both daring aud indis
creet and scorned to conceal her mistakes.
The arch-duchess, her husband’s mother,
tried in every way to ruin her, but could
not succeed, for this wild girl was a good
girl and her only missteps were against
snam and snobbishness and bars to freedom
of speech and originality of character.
Sue retired into a very small circle of
intimate friends and mingled with the
court as little as possible. Sno had a very
large forest park inclosed with high walls.
In this were bear-pits, cages for ferocious
auimais. Rare bii ds sung in the tress, and
fine domestic breeds g: azed on tbe lawns.
It is said that she could subdue the most
savage b ast with a glance of her eye, and
would walk tiie grounds with a
lion or a tiger beside her, simply holding
him by the mane. In the center of the
park was a clearing with a race-course and
also a covered amphitheater. A court lady
told me of hearing her majesty say many
times how she would have enjoyed tho
savage sports of the Colosseum, the nights
be ween wild animals, the great hunts of
beasts and men.
Hero the empress would ride for hnurs
changing horses, exhausted from fatigue,
then becoming more and more excited,
would call her companions to the circus
where, altering their costumes for more
appropriate ones, a performance would
trike place never witnessed by any one out
side the imperial stock company. Tne
servants were turned out of tho building,
even out of the park, and the gates double
barred Grand dukes were tho grooms and
clowns and the Empress of Austria the
queen of the arena. All this is, of course,
the barest hearsay. For years it was kept
so quiet that even many members of the
intimate court circle did not dream of its
existence, and it is only during the last few
years that rumors of it have reached the
outer woild —itself long a thing of the
pa t.
She could ride all day without fatigue,
sleep on tho ground, refresh herself with a
bit of black bread and a dash of sour wine
at a peasant’s hut, aud then climb mount
ains till her attendant were almost dead
with fatigue. 1 speak of her always in the
past time, for everything is changed now,
the grief over domestic tragedy has left her
muca b; oken, she does not caro for society
and can desire no diversion from her old
pleasures; she is nervous aud trem. ling.
She has been one of tho most individual
women in Europe, but as her greatest
powers were her physical beauty and en
durance, the loss of them leaves her most
helpl ss and unhappy. In her family life
she has been a noble character, deeply
wronged in many ways.
OLD MEN IN THE DEPARTMENTS.
An Official Who Wants to Run His
Bureau on Business Principles.
From the Washington Star.
An old man wearing a light office coat
was engaged in earnest conversation the
other day with a prominent official in one
of the departments, lie had the low voice
and manner of one accustomed by long
years of service to department life. While
one could see from his appearance that he
recognized the superior authority which the
manat the desk exercised, yet it was evi
dent that he was trying ia an humble, de
precating way to carry hi3 point. Finally
the interview was terminated by the chief
turning away with some impatience, at the
same time saying: “Well, we will 8;e
about it.”
The old man hesitated a moment as if he
was going to say something more, and then
changed his miud and shuffled out of the
room.
The official turned with a rather disc in tou
ted expression on his face, and said to a re
porter who had entered the room shortly
before: “That man's case illustrates one
phase of the difficulties whic i I bavo to
meet in running the business of this bureau.”
“ IV hat did he want f”
“On, he is one of the old clerks,” w is the
reply. “He has been ia the government

employ for about thirty years and is re
ceiving the highest salary paid to clerks.
On account of his age and increasing infir
mities he is no longer able to do his woik.
Ho has been a', ay a great deal on aide
leuve, and now ho acknowledges what he
e\&r did before, that he can’t do the work.
He came in to ask to be transferred to
some desk where tho work was light. I
Wild him that I thought such a change
would be advisable, hut I said that of course
his salary could have to be i educed. I said
that tho other clerks who have been in the
office for som-' time and were efficient re
ceived the salaries of the lo wer grades because
there were no vacancies in the higher grades,
it wouid not be fair, however, I added, to
make them do tho work of the higher
grade while receiving tho pay of a lower
grade. The old man was unwilling to
accept tbe ciange in his salary. He wanted
the old pay. He sahl of course I had the
authority to make the change, but he would
never consent to it.”
“Ferh ,ps he is in straitened circum
stsnes,” suggested the listener, “and can’t
afford to have the reduction made.”
“Nonsense,” was the reply, “he has been
receiving a good salary for years, and has
been careful and has accumulated enough,
I understand, to live on for the rest of his
life. But he don’t want to give up what he
has got, and this is not the only instance.
I find in this bureau that the high-.alaried
places are filled, as a rule, with old men
who have been hero a goo 1 many years.
The places with lower salaries aro tilled
with active young men, and it often hap
pens that they have to do not only their
own work but that of the old clerks who
receive a good deal more pay. Now it
seems to me that ibis state of affairs is not
gool business. The object of this bureau
is to perform a certain very imp rtant
part of the government business.
If it was conducted on principles
instead of on sentiment largely thero would
be a very rudieal change made. These old
men, when they are no "longer able to do
the work, ought to step aside aud give
the younger men a chance. At least they
ought to be willing to change places, anil
accept such a salary as they can earn.
They have been receiving good pay for
years, and no doubt they have earned all
they have received. The government is a
prompt paymaster. It never shuts down
in dull times or makes a reduction in wages.
Year in and year out it is always tbe same.
In other employments men have to take
the chances, und this is an element which
never enters into tho calculation of a gov
ernment employe. As long as he behaves
he is sure of his pay twice every month.”
“I am going to try,” added the official,
“to make a ref rm in this bureau and see
if tome of tbe inequalities can not be
righted. I want to run this bureau on
business principles. I know that no good
business man would approve of the present
methods.”
The official added that he was new to
department life, but it seemed to him that
his views had the merit of being practical.
as to whother he would be able to carry
them out remained to be seen. Ho also
said that w-hen he spoke of old men he
meant inefficient clerks of all ages and both
sexes.
It is due to tho public that I add my tes
timony to ali that is claimed for Smith’s
Bile Beans.
Some time since, on arriving in this sec
tion, I suffered with a severe headacho
which lasted four weeks. I tried several
remedies, but all failed to give relief until I
obtained a bottle of Bilo Beans, of which
two doses cured me entirely. Last July I
was taken down with indigestion. Doctors
and all other medicines failed to relieve me.
but a few do3 -s of this wonderful remedy
sot me on my feet again.
