Hidden Treasures j Badly as the streets of Paris were lighted at the close of the reign of Louis XV., the art of illuminating ballrooms was as well understood then as it is in the latter part of the nineteenth cen- . tury. The guests who flocked to the Receptions of M. de Bocher, after pass- 'i ing through streets in which a few flickering oil lamps scarcely succeeded fn making darkness visible, found them- 4elvesln the centre of floods of dae illng light, and surrounded by all that Was bright, fashionable, and gay in the pleasure-loving city of Pari3. 1 Times had much altered since the days of the Grand Monarque, and the hard and fast lines of society, then so frigidly observed, were now well nigh Obliterated. A precursor of the great . Revolution which was hereafter to Overthrow the state, was to be found in ihe invasion of the saloons of the no bility by financiers and capitalists, who were received with open arms by those Who wished either to borrow money from then, or to recruit their shattered (fortunes by alliances with the money bags of the period. Nor was this all, for the poets and writers of the day, sort of we 11- anxious to secure the snpporl t iirum m.ur wesrem inatiJiio,- i these reunions, which they enlivened i with their geniality and wit. Monsieur de Bocher could lay but inttle real claim to the patrician prefix !- til ...kk Ko hnri for some years auaea W 11 IV. A nv , to his otherwise plebeian name, dui beheld a -quasi oflicial appointment, which, although outside the Cabinet, gave him almost the dignity of a minis 1 n,viio ).ia well-known wealth and splendid entertainments attracted the best society, in Paris. He was, more- ovnr. a. man 01 eyes still bandaged, into a kind of cel lar, where his eyesight was restored to him. Here he found two men, both armed, and with their faces concealed by masks. The poor man was in at agony of terror, believing that his last hour had. come, but was somewhat re assured by the gestures of his compan ions, who, fearful of trusting their voi ces, made signs to him to make some mortar of the lime which was lying on the floor.8 A hole in the wall disclosed a recess, nd the two men raising with difficulty la weighty strong box, placed It In the interior ,and made signs to him to build up the wall afresh. Bocher, seeing that nothing was required of mm dui me legitimate exercise or his craft, quickly recovered his self-pos session, and guessing that the proprie tors' oi ine treasure were obliged to quit the country, and had hit upon this device for concealinr it until better times should dawlrtpon them, the no tion of appropriating it to his own use flashed likejligbtnining across his brain. When he concluded his work, as if wish ing to give a last polish to its coniple tiou, he placed his hands, thickly c ov- ered with mortar, on the new wall, and thus left the distinct impression of his five fingers on the hldiuglace of the treasure deposit. The prdmised five-and-twenty louis were then fuithfully counted out Into his hand,, his eyes were again bandaged, and he was re-conduc ted to the carriage, which after follow ing the same course of deception for three long hours, at last deposited him in the same street as that in which the man in the brown cloak had found him From that day forth Bocher aban doned the use of the hammer and trow el, and passed his time in wandering about Parts inspecting the houses ad yertised to be sold, directing his atten tion especially to the cellars and lower regions of the buildings, seeking every where, but without success the im print of his haid which would point the way to unlimited wealth. In the pursuit of this phantom, not only the twenty-five louis but all the little sa vings of his hard work rapidly melted away, and misery and hunger began to knock loudly at the mason's door. One after another he sold the pretty articles of furniture which had embellished his humble , home, to procure the bread which was necessary to sustain life,and pale and In rags he wandered about Paris, reading every new announce ment of vacant houses, and became a nuisance to the porters intrusted with the care of showing them. Two years thus passed away two long years, occupied day by day in tfreaniing'that it wwsfound. He was rAtiirnlnfr home one evening, sau anu dispirited, with the proceeds of the sale of the bed upon which his mother had died, and which had been one of the very last articles of furnUure he pos aossed: when his eye was caught by a larsre Dostine-bill announcing the sale of a magnificent mansion belonging to n,. Hp Cairnux. In the immediate lilies amv : ' , vicinity of his own dwelling.

".Sixty thousand louis,' said the auc tioneer,. "sixty thousand louis are bid, and this flue property is going for only sixty thousand louis !" Che steward added five thousand louis, and the offer was at once capped by the mendicant who bid seventy thousand ; louis. Thus the war was carried on until one hundred thousand louis were offered, and people were aghast at this extraordinary duel be tween the steward of the wealthy Duke and a miserable looking beggar. . "One hundred and ten thousand louis,") slowly, hut with emphasis, shouted the steward with a ' withering look at lias ragged opponent. Bocher hesitated for although he well remem bered how betevy the strong box was, it was doubtful whether it contained so large a siim as this, and lie was well aware that the penalty for nonpayment was the Chatelet prison for life with all its horrors. There was not much time for reflection, for already the "going, going" of the auctioneer was sounding in his ears "One hundred and twenty thousand louis!" he shouted, and "One hundred and twenty thousand louisere bid," re- peated the auctioneer, amidst a breath less silence. This time there was no advance on the bidding, and after wait ing the stipulated time, the - property was knocked down to Bocher, and the discomfited steward of the Duke quit ted the field of battle, revenging him self with a bitter jest as he pa3?ed his conqueror. Bocher j with the penalty of non-payment of the enormous purchase money staring him in the face, handed over the required sum within twenty-four hours, receiving in return the neces sary title-deeds. The mason became a dealer .in mo nopolies, land finished by leaving an im mense fortune and a patent of nobility to his son. Not contented with the house in Pa ris whichi had satisfied his father's as pirations, the son built himself a splen did .chateau at Montigny, where he had the houorof entertaining amongst other important personages, Lotus XV. and M. de Voltaire. The chateau was built on a hill, and puffed ,up with the vaijity of ;his riches, M. de Bocher had the presumption to surpass the great work of Louis XIV. at Versailles, by bringing the water from a greater dis tance and throwing it to a greater ele vation.

Twelve dollars is the exact amount." "What do you mean by $4 tax on a weathercock? I never heard of such a thing." "Didn't hey? Why, she comes in under the head of scientific apparatus.

Private Hlnes Trousers and Blanket. from the top of the tent, where they originated, to bia soldierly couch, doubt less aroused him from his reverie or sleep; and, while the evidence la not entirely satisfactory on this point, your committee are of the opinion that Hinee, in his seal to fight the fire and save Government property, lost both trousers and blanket. With this view of the case your com mittee accept the finding of the Board of Survey, and discharge him from re sponsibility. No specific recommenda tions appear in their report, but through some misapprehension a gratuitous issue of trousers and blanket was made to him. As events proved, this was a fatal mistake. His commanding officer, mis construing a mere suggestion, and per haps unwitli""' that Hines -gSyMili ap"g-n. aeatij-tnypeople of Aiken useriess, or concluding , that; the honor and dignity of the United States would be put In Jeopardy by his appear ing on duty in a pair "damaged to their fuU value," made proper haste to re habilitate him. From this time Hines vanishes from the scene. How he disported himself in his new trousers nowhere appears. Unconsciously he had performed a great service to the army and the country by causing an authoritative decision on a matter that had been involved in doubt. The question of a gratuitous issue of clothing is now settled, and while Hines may be indifferent to the trouble be has given captains, colonels, major generals, a Secretary of War, and a Congressional committee, he can content himself with the reflection that he has neither worn nor lost his trousers in vain. In conclusion, your committee desire to call attention to the fact that they have devoted much time and thought to this case. The papers are volumin ous, containing no less than seven dis tinct indorsements, commencing with a captain and concluding with the Secretary of War, who, in a cominuni cation to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, asks for the relief of Hines, or to use his own well chosen words, "requests the sanction of Con arress for the issues of said clothing to said Hines." This communication is marked "A' and made a part of this report.
