No one knows who it belongs to, or'what is to be done with it. It has been the sub ject of several investigations by officers of the treasury department. On vari ous occasions resoUfrioM k troduced in Congress making inquiries etc., as to lU value and ownership. But no satisfactory conclusion has ever boon had as to its true history. Its con tents are worth perhaps 2,000 or $3, 000. The bos remains in the treasury vaults, tightly sealed and covered with dust. No one can touch it unless Con gress passes a resolution to that effect. Several United States treasurers who have found the box in their possesion, when taking oharge of the office, have recommended that the articles be sold at auction and the proceeds given to some charitable objeot or monument tssouiation. There are several stories told as to the oigin of the box. One is that t teits were ft present to PresiSlR4' dror Jackson from the. in the pate! .
