At several localities in Franklin and, Georgetown townships. In the hills, golA has been found during the past ten years. The finds have been such as, a few years ago, to lead to the organization of a company at Louisville to prosecute the search for the precious metal. This company was successful in finding gold in the hills of Franklin township, Floyd county, and in the contiguous hills In Georgetown township, but not in sufficiently paying quantities to justify the purchase of costly machinery. The gold Is found In both a dirk and light quartz, and at some distance below the surface. A few days ago Mr. William White, living in the Franklin township hills, while engaged in digging a well, found several pieces of the goldbearing quartz, the deposits being distinctly marked, and the goll being of a rich quality. Mr. White has no doubt that in the quartz lying below gold will yet be found in paying quantities. Th" metal has been found in the black quartz on several farms adjoining that of Mr. White. It is possible that this latest discovery may Pad ti more thorough investigation than has yet been made, and citizens in the neighborhood are sanguine that if such search is prosecuted gold in paying quantities will be found. The location is seven miles from New Albany. Albany . Ledger. About eleven years ago a young man who' gave his name as Bartin and his home In Hamhlin township.

When the reptile goes up or crosses a road he leaves a path about like Richmond's steam road roller does. There is a man named Snyder in Brownville who "ain't afraid o' nothln'!" and he took a gun and hunted three weeks in the woods for the snake. One day he sa.t down on a log to rest and while cogitating over the slim prospects of earning the $50 by the capture of the snake the log humped, something hit him cn the skull, and when he came to the log was gone. It was the snake! One farmer heard such a racket in his corn that he supiosed all his hogs and cattle had gotten into the field and he went in to drive them out. When he approached the crushing corn stalks and the crackling noise he saw what he supposed was one of the biggest hogs trying to crawl Into the end of a long log, but as he observed that one end of the log was lashing around like fury and mowing down like a cyclone he realized that his hog was being swallowed.

The bin fleet was not attacked at all. but the l. Mu M-et was attack.-.l eiriy in the nijiht, apparently without FUCO?SS. The red torpedo boa's found Admiral Iri:mmond's licet, but failed to al'taek it sueec -.-fuil v. 1'ut oiu- divi.-ion of i-he re ! tolped boa! met ir on Saturj.iy evenhv-r off the Kish bank. Its leader was informed by tho admiral that three i ruisers, pre sum ibly bei-inline; to Admiral Pale's llet";. had been seen from the signal station ;t r.'.-o ks-'d bay at an iriy hour in the moinlnc:, and mip.it therefore be e-ir-eeted to b; in the neighborhood "f lie'.!".--; .Parin?? -the nipit. Here was a o;i?-' in whi-'h the torp-do boats had a de'inii- object to look for and a definite place in wiiii h to look for it. They found three- eru:.-e;s under the mull of Calloway, and. not reeehinjr or failing to understand the private siunal. they forthwith proceeded to att.u k 'iheifi. Unfnrtuati ly, th three cruisers in question turned out to be th j Wc rsprite, Australia and Cala'teo. helonfrins to Admiral Prummood's IVet. and though no ship was torpedoed, two ut of th? thrc torpedo boats were put our of action, the third havinsr previously pone astray. Two points are hero to be noted onö, that the 'torpedo boats were operating not at random, but in pursuit of a definite object, nmu-ly. three enemy's ships, whos probable position end course were approximately indicated to them beforehand, the other that after all the object they found v.ms rut the object they s upht. but three frieo-llv sh!p wnos destruction, h:ul it been accomplished. would have indicted irreparable loss on their own side. This v.-ry awkward habit of mistaking a friend for a. foe i.s one which hns often before been exhibited in maneuvrts by torpedo boats. It is less likely to occur in actual warfare, because nearly all forcipn ships differ very widely In external tippearance from any of our own; but its invurrenc? is regarded by many authorities as sufTKient.ly probable f j require that English torpedo boats should always make the private sipnal before proceeding to extremities. This means, of course, that English torpedo boats will never bo able to attack except under the mot unfavorable conditions conditions so unfavorable, indeed, as almost to Insure their destruction. But those who take this view regard It as a logical deduction from Iord (leorpe Hamilton's dictum that the torpedo boat is essentially the weapon of the weaker combatant. So resnrding it they also regard the almost certain destruction of an English torpedo boat ify an enemy as of less moment to England than the jiossible destruction of an English belttie ship by a friend; and they consider that the best way to avert such a catastrophe as the latter is to require the torpedo boat to declare itself by making 4he private signal in all eases which leave room for more than a shadow of doubt. These views are new to me, as they will be to many of your readers, who will perhaps not be a little surprised t-o learn that they are held by professed advocates of torpedo boats. They seem to place the strategic value of the torpedo boot for English purposes even lower than some of its m'-t severe critics have ever ventured to place it; and it i.s certainly not a little remaiicable that they should le entertained at a time when some high authorities are beginning to doubt whether the position even of the battle ship in the naval warfare of the future is not beginning to be imperiled by the development of vessels of the Ilavock and Hornet class, regarded as sea-keeping torpedo lxaits, wmich might in favorable, circumstances attack even In the daytime, or having found their enemy in the daytime might hover round out of range and att'ack in large numbers after dark.

A bicycle and a princess astride of it in tishts and a bifurcated skirt have stirred up a full-fledged royal sensation at th- palace, says a special correspondent of the New York World, writting from j Turiu, and behind its draw-curtain the fair j culprit who scandalized King Umberto? ' sense of the proprieties is a prisoner and ' in di -.Trace. The guilty one Is Princes? E.vetitia. the widowed duchess of Aosta , an 1 sister-in-law of the king. The othei : characters in the interesting faree-eomed are t'ae king's mother-in-law, the duehes. J of Genoa, and the Princess Isabel. Jusi ; what it was that precipitated the troubie ' is graphically summarized in the follow- ; ing dispatches: i Extracts form the duchess of Cenoa's ; dispatch to the king: "Eaetitia scandalized i town ; going races on bicycle in tights, i divided skirt, with entire suit. Several I aceilents en route. After races princess ! drank with jockeys, aristocrats, until 5 j m-.ruing. Very drunk and boisterous, i S i i:ty shocked." ! Extracts from the Princess Isabel's disI patch to the king: "Duchess, to spare your ! feelings, tol l only half the truth. Captain j present during bacchanal; drove palace I together, after breakfasting restaurant." J Extracts from th3 king's dispatch ti ; Frincess Laetitia: "Keep to your apnar'- ,' ments until further notice; If disobedi- , ent allowance stopped." ' There was also a telegram to the mili- , tary commander of Turin, ordering him j to make his headquarters at the palace, i and to enforce the strict execution of I King Umberto's command. East, but nut least, a teiegram to her royal hiphness' court marshal b.ide him burn "those infernal machines." viz.. the bicycles. Strange to say, tne tights and the bifurcated skirt were not included in the holocaust. Princess L-aetitia is the widow of the late Am-adeo, duke of Aosta and ex-king of Spain, who was her uncle, and her senior by twenty-one years. She is the daughter of the late Plön Plön, or Prince Napoleon, as his title reads. Plön Plön was the son of Jerome Bonaparte, exking of Westphalia, and legitimate husband of Elizabeth Patterson of Baltimore. The princess's mother is Princess Clothilde, sister of the late Victor Emmanuel, and well known for her extreme piety. Thus the princess combines in her makeup very different sorts of clay. On her father's side she inherits the blood of "King Lustig" King Merry, as well as his Soubriquet Eaetitia is Batin for merriment); her mother's religious proclivities seem to have entered into her life only so far as ridding herself of remorseful afterthoughts, by frequent appeals to the chair of the confessional. Her enemies say she never visits the same father twice. Personally she Is a charming woman, bearing a strong likeness to her late father, whose embonpoint she has inherited. She is tall and athletic, and very fond of exhibiting her beautiful nock and arms. The early death of the Puke Aosta left her comparatively poor. Her direct Income scarcely amounts to 75.00 francs a mere Ka gat eile for one who keeps a stable full of racers and hunters, a retinue of fifty servants, and open house all the year round, and makes occasional yachting excursions and flying trips to the continent, especially to Paris. To keep his sister-in-law out of the bankruptcy courts, King Umberto order,M her stepsons, the present duke of Aosta and the duke of Abuzzl. who inherited the many millions of their mother, nee Princess Delia Cisterna, to contribute largely to the duchess's supp rt, and the privy purse makes her an additional allowance, besides giving her the use of the Turin palace. If ever Umberto has occasion to scold Baetitta he threatens withdrawal of his financial favors. That may not be polite, but nobody will gainsay Its effectiveness. The story of the princess's escapades is now discussed widely in Turin, but the Italian papers suppress it out of respect for the king. The press generally contents itself with the guarded announcement that the relations between the royal family and Princess Eaetitia are uncommonly strained. A week or two ago all Turin made its annual pilgrimage to the race-track where the grand prix was to be contested; tn landaus, all sor ts of English rig-3, four-in-hands and carts turned Into equipages for this great event by means of chairs uid benches, curtaina and rues.

I-Vartnl of a riot, the syndico of Turin sent a mounted messenger to the u!.'-'- to inquire when her royal h'ghness might be ("xp'oted. The ollie- r reappeared in about five minutes, galloping wildly and motioning the gur.rds at the royal entrance to open the gates. Everybody rose, everybody stood, on iptoe, hats and hanvlkerehiefs in the '.ir, national anthem by the band, soirs and army officers preparing for stlute. But what was it they saw? No stllions in gay dress, no jdum-d hors-s' leads, no carriage dcoiMt-d with tlowrs. Instead, the syndico's man was leading a small bicycle brigade into the grounds and at the head of it, Princieessa. Laetizia Bonaparte, duchess of Aosta. followed by the Marquis Vivaldi di Castellino. grand master of ceremony; Countess Colli di Eeliznano, first lady In waitinc; Count Avogadro de O.'.lobi; nou Carrisi of tha late . ike's military household; Princip-ssa M r. -zzo d-lla Rooea. another lady of honor, and several chamberlains all mounted on bicycles! The spectacle was as stirring as Jt was unheard of. The g od Italians had read of several sprigs of royalty practicing on the wheel in the seclusi .n of pai'.c and garden. But in public, jamais, never! At that moment the faces of the royalties, the hiph aristocracy and otlieials were worthy the p-ncil of a Hogarth. The sentinels did not know whether to present amis or make an assault upon the party claiming royal prerogatives. The syndico was wholly nonplused. Finally, somebody in the crowd shouted "Eviva!" and "Kviva Laetitia!" exclaimed thousands of voices. The snell was broken and the democratic spirit of the Italian jieople broke forth triumphantly. That was probably Just what the daring princess exjfe'ted to occur. Sue raised herself on her whe-l an l'smilir.ply responded to the ovation. Siie dismounted amid general acclamations at the grand staircase leading to the royal box. The World oorresp. indent was near the judges" stand and sw her royal hicrhness. She wore black silk tights, patent leather boots with legreins, a divided skirt of heavy Am k .-ilk, and ornamented with silver Urn ad. and a d selitting waist of the same material. Sic! wore a white silk yachting cap, and around her waist a silver i-ir-1 1 , with numerous attachments on Mnall silver chains.

Laetitia. weighs approximately 173 pounds, but her avoirdupois is pemrously distributed over her lipure where, in bicycle costume, it shows to the b st advantage. As she ran up the stairs expressions of deep-felt admiration came from the multitude. At the same Xl:m there was an uproar at the bottom of the stairs, where the fat Marquis di Castellino had tumbled off his wheel by too suddenly checking hi- speed. He swore audibly, and his aneer was lightened by the Jeers of the j keys ani other onlookers. The tVjntiss Feli;:zano likewise had an accident: sli came near tearing off one wing of her divid-d skirt in dismounting. The faces of the duchess of Ceno.i a-I the I Mncess Isabel were a study. T say they looked dappers at their relative is putting it very mildly. Indeed, but the manner In which Laetitia received their greetings was d-iiei.us. They wer? icy, she was effulsive; Ifcey tried t frown licr down, ar.d Laetitii. by sitr.ply appearing at the balustrade of the b x, evoked tremendous applause, such as in.

"Bis majesty." sh- said, "will after this be obliged to accept your resignation; he cannot ask you to remain in a p-vltion which endangers your precious life." In extenuation of Laeiitia's wild conduct It is said that as a young girl shi was forced to participate in the ascetls life her mother leads In Castle Moncalieri, which is more of a cloister than a royal residence. The restriction imposed upon the lively girl only tended to make her the more eager fcr worldly pleasures. . She acquired an irrepresil craving for the society of uniformed t-cuux.
