' How many know where the largest simple lump of : native gold-eyer seen in America was found ? In California ? . No. In Colorado .?, No. In the Black.. Hills,, Coeur i dAlene, Nevada, "New Mexico ? - No. In old ;: Mexico, Peru,' . Bolivia, in Potosiy the Calloa of Venez uela ? ' No. ' Where then ? In North" Carolina.'; And its story, as told by a' correspondent, is as . weird and fateful as the Rhlnegold's. A poor and ignorant Irish man, living in the mountains solitary and loaely, propped open tbe door of his cabin with a, lump of metal. He had found it sticking out from a water washed gully, and carried it home as a curiosity. -Though no larger than a small cymling, It was a weighty lug' for a mile. It wM a duil vyellow, irregular in shape,, and pieces, of stone were embedded in it. : For over two years a fortune lay upon the floor of his lt' v- S,-, while he toiled early ,aiid late, making a little 'whiskey and digging ginseng root to earn . a scanty living. : A . companion moun taineer, ,whd had ' known more of the outside world, thought this strange stone might be sold at Asheville as a curiosity for .a lot of money ten dollars, perhaps thte was in the flush days before the war. He had seen quartz crystal from Roan Mountain bring that much. A third mountaineer -was called in consultation. Ten dollars wa a Jot of money. . The third man had been a . traveler, a regular globe trotter, - He went to -Asheville four.tlmes a year, and he had been , clear to Washington. " Walking " around the lump, he gazed at it from every sde, touched it with his toe, spat on it, and breathed heavily.. Hit air wortb'nuthin, er hit air wuth a pile,' said he- 'Hit air nuthin but brass, er hit air' he looked around on the other two with a quiet expres sion 'goold.' Ef hit air brass' he dre w a clasp-knife and scraped the dull metal till a new! surface glittered 'vinegar!! rust it. Ef hit air gold, hit won't.' He poured some vinegar, from a jug. which. was brought him, npoh the fresh facing of the nmp. The three men hung over it intently, jeive, ten, fifteen minutes passed, and still the metal shone clear and un arnished. nf'a irnM f V evv 'And I've heerd eooia was wuth. more n two hundred dol lars a pound said the second. 'What a fool I've been,' groaned the owner of the cabin. 'For two years I've worked, and wealth 1 never dreamed of kickin under my feet I claims a third broke in the . assaver. 'Ye'd never a knowu what it was but for me.' ; -i" ; An a third for me said the other. Tbe owner of tbe gold gave a sullen assent. They obtained a pair of steelyards and weighed the gold. It turned-, the scale at over one hundred pounds avoirdupois, and they roughly estimated it to be worth twentyfive thousand dollars over- eight thousand dollars apiece. That night all three sat up and watched the treasure, unable to sleep from" excitement, and thoroughly suspicious of each other. The next day they rolled it securely i. a cloth, and started for Asheville afoot with the gold slung to a pole, and carried be tween two. It was the devil's gold. At the first halting place, the Irishman and the second moun taineer conspired to kill , the third, and he was . shot dead from behind. Hastily throwing his body into a clump of ! bushes, the murderers faced each other in the road. Sus picion roused in each breast saw. treachery in" the other's glance. ."., 'Here said one, forcing an uneasy laugh, 'there's only one way to settle this.. Lets divide the gold, aud each go his own way 'Agreed said the other. The lump was laid on the roadway and chopped in two with a hatchet. ' " Take your choice said one. As the other bent down to lift his half, his companion split the head of the stooping man with ; his hatchet. The gold: was his. With blind fatuity he dragged the second victim to the side of the road. Hftarl tha 0f.in Maa w w UIW1UVU VAVttO' ure, and went on. At Asheville ne coos jit to tne hank and had it shipped to the United States In less than a week, and be fore any return could be made from the mint, the bodies of the murdered men had been discovered, : and' the crime traced directly ; home. The miserable wretch was placed in jail, and there he died. The witch " gold fortune never crossed his hands, remaining I believe, in the federal treasury for lack of ownerililp. The region where the lump was found has been scoured foot by foot, but , not , another lump like that has eyer been discovered in that or any' other section of America, It is said that an English company, which is working the Nacooche Mine in Georgia; took out a nugget weighing thirteen hun dred penny-weights, yet the North Carolina' lump weighed over fifteen hundred 'ounces' To Mothers.
