HIDDEN TREASURE.
Gold hunters who still dream of finding
the treasure of Capt. Kidd should read
the 6tnry that comes from lndianaand
be encouraged. In the little towu of
Eminence, about twenty-five miles south
west of Indianapolis, two Iudians called
at a farmer's house early in the evening
and asked the way lo a certain tree.
Proper ' directions were given and the
Indians departed. Never having seen his
sailers before, the farmer was curious to
kuow their object, and went to the tree
by a short road and hid himself in the
bushes nearby. Soon'the Indians came,
lantern iu hand. They dug a hole in the
ground on one side" of tho tree they
seemed to know the very place -to dig

causes such terrible pain that it required

the operation. After it was completed,

American only survived five or six months
The Spaniard lost his eyesight, and died
in Morula, but Captain Costeutenus sur
vires and is in good health. The tattooing
was done with indigo aud cinnabar, pro
ducing blue and, red colors: aud there is
not a single point on his body which is
not covered with these colors, so that it
is impossible to discover what was the
natural color of his skin except by Lis
ears and the soles of his feet, which are
the only parts they did u7T tattoo. He
appeared at first sight as though he were

Astounded at tne

the Indians disappeared through the
