San Francisca, July 21. -Mrs. William Page, of Phoenix, Ariz., tells a story of terrible sufferings and marvellous escape from the Apaches. It nppears that William Kirk- land Page and a few more Ameri- cana bad established a camp in the mountains in the rear of the Canoe ranch, whence they sallied foith every morning for the purpose of cutting timber in the mountains, re- turning in the evening to camp. Mrs. Page and a Moxicsn girl, aged about 12 years, were with them in the camp attending to the cooking. One day in the latter part of Febru- ary, shortly after the men had left for their work, a band of Indiana, said to have consisted of 17, swoop• ed down upon the camp, taking the woman and child with theta.. A week later the Indians had surrendered to Capt. Ervell, had delivered the Mexican girl uninjur- ed, and Ervell had placed eight or 10 of their number in irons and sent them under a strong guard to Fort Buchanan. It appears that immediately after capturing the woman the Indians had lanced her iu various places, and then had thrown her into a gully and thrown rocks at her until they thought life was extinct. The night following being rather cool, she had regained consciousness, and as soon as her senses had been so far recovered as to be able to decide what course to take, she comtneuc ed her terrible march, or rather crawling, fainting every now and then, until at last she reached the haven of security, Canoe ranch. AN EYE WITNESS' ACCOUNT. An eye -witness to Mrs. T'ape's sufferings says : "A courier had arrived in Tucson requestiug Dr. Hughes to proceed at once to Canon ranch, as Mrs. Page had found her way to that place after having been out days, subsistiug on grass, roots, etc., and no water on the route. I hastened to Canoe ranch with Dr. Hughes, but he, being on a fine horse and I on a mule, hurried on alone. I made the nest time I could with my macho, however, and arrived at Canon only 40 minutes behind him. Thirty-five miles in a little less than four hours is pretty fair for a mule macho. There I saw the poor woman. But what a sight "Lance , thrusts in both breasts and in numerous other places, bruises from rocke thrown at her by the Indians, almost everywhere covered her with blood, emaciated beyond description, her hands and knees and lege and arms a mass of raw flesh almost exposing the bones, caused by crawling over the, cruel rocks, up hill and down hill, for nine days, she being unable to stand on her feet. Sixteen miles in nine days. You can imagi .e what she must have suffered. No water to quench the burning thirst, no water for her gaping wounds. "The doctor, though having little or no hope, stayed with her faith- fully until recovery was assured. Her etrong conetitution and the tender care bestowed upon her by I)r. Hughes and his family, who had hurried to her bedside, did wonders, and after several months she was entirely cured. Shortly before I left the territory to join the 'Cornfed army' I met her in the Sonotio valley, at some ranch, and ,if 1 had not known the lady I never would have recognized in the blooming woman before me the x .....s,.itor:r:>wblas sigb:t,aw.hiebs me4, tliy:.:ey.a on that never -to -be -forgotten night." AN ENORMOUS TREASURE. Etstitnatiog n barrel of sticli naevi to be worth, net, 50 cents Or $1, and a barrel to. hold 550 pomade of Molasses, the molasses would be worth from one to two cents a gallon and from 1.11 to 1 5 cent a pound. Pittsburg coal, brought to the sugar house furuace, has for about ten years cost 1.5 cent per pound." It had lain hidden since some time This molasses burns with a high in the last century. The discovery heat in combination with wood or was wade by the chief engineer, who for some time has boon engaged in the demolition of the castle of San Antonio. Before it was con- verted into a castle San Antonio was a monastery uuder the control of the Jesuits, and it was during this period of its history that the treasure is supposed to have been hidden. Underneath the castle aro vaults built like corridors of a urine, and iu one of these a large number of cases, cheats and bundles were discovered. An examination of the cantente of these chests and packages resulted in a most astonishing dis- covery. The • 122 wooden cases contained gold to the value of about $70,000,000. The gold consisted of old Portuguese crusadoes (ancient ntilreis worth about fifty cents each) and the accounting of the treasure was verified by documents found iu the cases. Among the papers found was a receipt of Friar Desert() An ton, superior of the order of Jesu- ites, acknowledging the receipt of 20,000,000 crusadoes in gold to be turned over to Don John, V. as a tribute of honor upon his voyage to Brazil. These 20,000,000 out of the 70,000,000 and 2,600 kilograms of gold powder contained in the four iron chests, and 945 kilos of gold bars, vessels, and richly work- ed ornaments were to have gone to Portugal aboard the royal squadron of caravels and galleons, which, under the command of Don Sebas- tian, was to touch at Brazil, en route to Lisbon. It is said that when the Marquis of Pombal, the great Portuguese statesman, demand- ed in the last century the remit- tance of the above named sum, Fr. Anton buried the treasure in the vaults of his monastery and denied that it had ever been in hie posses- sinn, declaring that it had been taken away during the previous reign. In consequence of this denial, which did not deceive the Marquis the Jesuits were expelled from Brazil and Portugal. Tho twenty-six packages were found to contain a variety of precious stones, whose value cannot be told, as they have not hoen appraised. MILLIONS GF GOLD POUND IN AN OLD CASTLE AT RIO JANEIRO. New has been received in this country of the discovery of an enor- mous treasure in one of the subter- ranean vaults of the old castle of San Antonio. at Rio Janeiro, where MOLASSES AS FUEL. New Orleans special to New York Sun : The large crop of sugar which Louisiana is raising this year has greatly complicated the problem as to what to do with the molasses. With a crop of 550,000,000 pounds of sugar there will be 700,000 bar- rels, 27,500,000 gallons, or 300,000,- 000 pounds of molasses, which the planters do not know how to get rid of. The output of molasses in Louis- iana is now Co great that there is no market for the lower grades and it does not pay to sell thein. Last year the molasses got down to 5, 6, and 7 cents a gallon. The barrel in which it was put cost often twice as much as its contents, end the freight to New Orleans was a great deal more than the molasses was worth when it got there. Consdquently many planters gave it away to any one who would send thew barrel and pay the freight. Others dump- ed it in big reservoirs in the hope that the price would rise. Tens of thousands of gallons were emptied into the Mississippi River and Bayou Teche. The overproduction of molasses this •year will be even greater than it was last year, and the planters are trying to find some uee for an article which formerly was one of their most valuable products, but now is a nuisance. It l'aa been proposed first to manufacture the molasses into rum or to use for fuel. Originally, most of the • Louisana molasses was made into ruin, but this industry was abandoned ALMOST A CENTURY AGO. The rum project today ,would volve expense for machinery, distil- leries, etc. It is calculated that one gallon of molasses should crake a gallon of rum, so that the cost of materials would be 5 to 7 cents a gallon, and Louisiana would be able to turn out 20,000,000 gallons of rum annually. There would he great profit in this, but as the indus- try is a new one, and it would re- quire considerable capital and drill- ed labor, and the planters need all the labor they have in the sugar plantations, it is not likely to he tried on any large scale. Mdse retnarkable is the proposi- tion of the Planter, the organ of the sugar interests here, that the mos lasses should be used for fuel in the place of coal in the sugar- bowie. It calculates that molasses would he much cheaper than the cheapest coal, and would be a good fuel. Here is its calculation on the nub, ject ; "The lowest grades of vacuum pan molasses contain from 20 to 25 ,;per..cetvtK•t>,E.atto;arrr>vlhicb,.-cannot be. extracted by existing machinery. wood fiber, so that by sprinkling it on the bagasse (the dry stalks of the sugar cane after the saccharine juice has been pressed from it) an excellent fuel of great heat power is obtained. In this way, estimating that only half the wolabees produced ie used for fuel, a eubetitute will be produced for 75,000 to 100,000 tone of coal. That is more than enough for the manufacture of all the sugar of Louisiana. As the Planter insists, something will have to be done, as WOlasses is the bete noir of our sugar campaign.

A SLEEPING BOY. HE DEVOTES ALL HIS TIME TO DEEP REPOSE. Jesse Streitt, aged 13, Indiana's sleeping boy, has again fallen into a long slumber, making the third long sleep within the last eighteen months. His first sleep lasted 21, days, and during that time he could not be aroused, although the most prominent physicians in Indiana studied the case and tried to wake him. A few months before his first sleep he fell from a barn loft and it is thought injured his spine, and this is supposed to be the cause of his long sleep. When he rallied from this sleep he informed his friends that he had been in heaven, and that he saw his father at work in Illinois, relating the exact work in which his father was actually en" gaged in that state. This of course caused much comment and attracted a great deal of attention to the boy. A constant watch was kept upon him, and his sleep was natural until about five months ago, when he sank into another long slumber, which lasted seven days. During this time he was visited by hundreds of peo- ple from different portions of the state. About eleven o'clock Thursday he asked his mother to cook cabbage for his dinner. 'There was none in the house, and Jesse was sent to a gro- cery near by to purchase some. Ile went to the grocery and got as far in the purchase as to say : "I want—," which he repeated several tunes, then sank to the floor, calling for his mother, and was asleep in a moment. ire was conveyed to his home, where all efforts to arouse him are unavailing. He has not been sick a day or taken a dose of media cinethis summer. IIe is pale, breathes regularly, with natural pug. sations, and has not the slightest indication of fever or pain and does not move.

Father Zang, who was a resident of that state, with a moat romantic history. The revavend gentleman was educated in Germany and possessed ability of the.highost degree. After coin- ing to this country he was placed in charge of a Catholic church at Dixie, Ark., and under his adminis- tration it prospered greatly. Among his congregation was a young girl named Annie Doyle, who was young and very attractive and with whom it was reported the priest, who was not thirty years of age, became so infatuated that he renounced hie faith and church for the sake of marrying her, The marriage is claimed to have been a failure. Zang, after re- nouncing the priesthood without means, found it difficult to make a living for himself and pretty wife. IIe tried a number of vocations, but with indifferent success. Be- coming despondent, he recently an= nounced that he would go to Texas, where he hoped to get employment teaching. He was seen last in Southwest Arkansas. He had start- ed to make the long journey over- land and on foot. The body taken from the water is swoolen out of semblance almost, but it answers his description exact- ly.

It was Rev. Sydney Smith who said : "You can't get a joke into a Scotchman's head, by a iything less than a surgical operation !" But it was Sidney Smith, the "Reverend," the witty, the Edin- burgh -sharpened, who said that. lie made mistakes sometimes. That was one. Another was when he attacked the Baptists, sending out missionaries to India. "Tho idea," he exclaimed in the Edin- burgh Review, "of Brother Carey, BrotherBarrell, and Brother Ringle• tub, going out to convert sixty millions of Hindoos with three men and sixteen guineas P' "And lie was wrong there," said Dr. Carey after wards, "for we had only fifteen guiueas in the treasury !" Never- theless, Carey and others went; and "Carey and 1Vard" are names that will lin in Indian history to the end of time ! Now this about a "surgical operation" has always stuck in Scotsmen's throats as being too near a very dull slander to be classed as a very bright joke. About 1845, William Chambers wassoine months in Loudon,settliug up some business, and the Reverend Sidney Smith called upon him, Sidney'a Edinburgh experiences were before Chambers' time, and he had supposed him dead, He announced himself as "The Rev. Sidney Smith," and said "he thought it was fitting that the founder of the Edinburgh Re- view should call upon the founder of the Edinburgh Journal." This old joke of his at once occurred to Chatnbers' mind. And es the old Humorist was descanting upon his former Edinburgh times, he said to him, "You must have found a great deal of /tumor in the Scotch charas• 'ter !'; "Oh, yes," said the old joker, "you Scotch people aro very funny. But it is hard to get the fun out ! I never found anything better for that purpose than a corkscrew ."' Cham- bers was satisfied. The sequel rounded off the joke.

Lr the early days of Massachusetts the statute books show that the magistrates were sorely troubled, both to preserve the tratfitional dis- tinction in dress and to keep the fashion within the hounds of de. corutn. A man not worth two hundred pounds was forbiddEn to wear gold or silver lace or buttons or pointe at the knees. Women whose pro• perty did not reach two hundred pounds in value were ordered not to wear silk, or tiffany hoods, or scarfs, or any apparel with any laee on it, gold, silver or thread. The general court was plain- spoken in giving its reasone for en- acting this law. It records "its utter detestation and dialike that mere * * * of mean condition should take upon themselves the gat b of gentlemen," The court's "detestation and dis- like" also extends to "women of the same rank," who wear the garments "allowable to persona of greater es- tates or more liberal education." Such practices "in persons of such condition," the court judges "intol- erable." One cannot help but ask what would the general court have done with the servants of these days, who not only imitate their mistresses' dresses, bet sometimes wear them. But though " intolerable," the court bad to endure not only the leveling spirit, but the desire for display. They passed laws against "slashed clothes," which showed the line underneath, and against short sleeves, whereby the nakedness of the arm may be discovered. But the democratic spirit, aided by the women's fondness for dress, was too strong for the legislators to waster it.
