OOrTRlGHTnO IV THX AOTHOB, 180. CHi-lTKB I. VlnCBt TOTJCTOBY. I believe that 1 am not what could actually be called superstitious, yet since my earliest recollection I have had opinions that diner from tne accepted religions doctrines; and such opinions (or boll if s) are often looked upon as superst tlous, if not wholly ridiculous and not to be considered. But no one deliberately manufactures his own uelief tbat is something over which he ordinarily has llttlo more con troi thug he has over the original form of his body or tho co'or of his complexion, for, like thesx it is a part of his corporate self II e ran distort his body or paint his face, but left alone, they will resume the r normal shape and color the same w ith his belief. However, one's settled opinions are sometimes completely changed by some imnTessive accidnrt. circumstance or teachins: bnt till: change, yon will see. is not wronfrht bj his own will, bnt by influences that are brought to bear upon him. The influences by which we are surrounded lit the main form our onir ions. and oar character and relig ion are mapped out in our intellects as by the hand of in unseen, incomprehensible destiny, and we have little thought but to follow the directions or promptings thereof, as tne poet says; 'Ti3 education forms the common mind; Jest as the twl;ia bent the tree's Inclined." In other word:-, the impressions of childhood bear upon one's whole life. I know that with me Hal Mala the impressions of childhood have hung like a prevailing vapor over the whole period of inv existence; ma m every wageay, comedy or romance, in which I have been fortunate or unfortunate enough to participate, 1 have been referred bacs to the aavning 01 my personal history. Orphaned in infancy, and left home less, my childhood was spent among strange laces, ana amia perpetually shifting scenes. As there was no one to worry over my whereabouts, I wont forth when I listed and came back when I willed. I much frequeiited wild and ont-of-the way places, and vas often infatuated by gloomy objects that would have bee a far from fasslnattng to other chil dren. The roar of the cataract as it tun bled and plunged through jagged gorges and the howling of the wind as it sweet among the cliffs and crags, were my music I loved to wandsr amid the hush and the loneliness of roodland scenes. The sigt ingof the trees, the rippling or the brooks, the anal it sounds articulated by the small wild animals, by the beasts of the field and the birds of the air, were to we well known and welcome sounds. The wilderness was my kindergarten, and the object-lesson i it presented were earnestly studied. I had no steady place of habitation, but was taken 1 1 and taken care of, after a manner, ly this person and by that, for awhile -for I was continually estray, and no ate took the pains to hnni, mo up-. Thus my infancy and childhood passed into youth, whe:i childhood's dreamy life ended, and tlen my living came by an arduous strife with adversity. What information I possess was pick id up of my own accord, regardless of schools or the iiedagogue's art I had an earl) liking for letters, and explored enterprisingly the realm of knowledge, although nothing like system or order ever accompanied my efforts. I was drilled to no particular trade, so my occupation w is necessarily various. and, aside from the fact that it maintamed me niasom bly well, was of a sort that bore as its r'rult more experience than wealth. The course of my career finally settled in the channel of Itinerant journalism. and later Into that of literature, as best becoming a perso i of haphazard accom plishments ana roving disposition. Ail these circumstances, being of an exceedingly miscellaneous and uncommon character, may have combined to divert my thoughts out of any of the approved groves of religlojs theory, and to canse the opinions now dominant wish in my mia'd to fasten themselves upon me; -iut 1 credit my belief to other causes. When I was a tittle child I held com munion with shadowy forma that told me by myriad sisrns tbat they were relatives of mine; jouls of tny people who had shaken off tl.o toils of material life and assumed immortal existence In the spirtual world. Long before I knew that they were ghosts I followed them about in the gloo n of night and felt perfectly at home in their company. I often followed these specters to the graveyards to witness hosts of dim forms march and stalk about among the white tombs; this, too, at times when other ch llilren were coc died up in their trundle beds at home, di earning things not half so wild as I 'vat looking at with open ey; and the lull possession of my waking sensed. 'asides the sforesaid, olten In my later life has it been fully proven to mn that there is but the vail of a breath between the mater? a! and the spiritual life, thar, some of ns are granted the privilege of communing with the people of the phantasmal world. I mention thes few details of my past life, not for the purpose of expounding a theory, nor of proselyting for a new faith, but because I wish to introduce niye)f, my vlewi and the circumstances by which I hate bren surrounded, in sticii a manner as. to prepare you to understand the full meaning and purport of the story I am about to relate. This story is the veritable history of a certain expedience in ny life no dream, no hallucination. CHAPTER II. the BAror. It was in thit somber dead of night, and the red moon, wrapped In filmy mantles of light, fleeting cloud, floated lew down behiiid the tall cotton woods on the right, e ;cr and anon casting a fov slight best is across the black deek ol a small stel.mboat that was beaded up one of those wmerous murky bayous wbieh flooded '.he southern portion of the State of Louisiana. Che boat, which was a sort of "cotton lugger," contained but two passengers ny companion and myself who were It oked upon by the officers and deck hands of the craft as mysterious personages We had come on board after dark, ami were well b indled up In great coats, so undoubtedly looked quite austere and grim in the dim lights of the smoky lanterns hung aboi t Besides, we were going to the haunted villa on the old Spanish plantation up the country, which, as r i nor had it, had for years been inhabited by none hut ghostly apparitions, ami which wa; supposed to be resting under the ban r a terrible and inexorable curse. Our journey by boat was some twenty ml cs, and on onr way up we had stood on the top deck, leaning against the pilot ho ise, absorbed in thought and speakliifr but seldom Once the captain came along and touched my arm and that of my comtiMfcuj, Mid by the aid of hit lantern

looked earnestly Into our faces. Upon being asked why he did this, he replied: "Beg your pardon, misters, but some o' the men doubt as how ye are flesh an' blood, ye look so glum and ghostly 1 ke. They hearn whar ye're goln, an' are jest a little skeory. No live man has dared to tacklo that 'ir habitation at midnight afore fur up'ards o' ten year. Don't mean to offend ye, misters, but ef 'twns me I'd wait till sun-up afore 1 tuk partikeler pains t' git. ac iiiainted wi' the folks at the haunted house. " This said, he walked on. yjosh and blood! Did I know then whether it was flesh and blood 1 had for a companion that night, or the shad of

one long dead? Was I flesh and blood that night, or that month, or was I the ghost of myself accompanying a weird fancy along the bayous and over tho uelds ot south ern Louisiana? When 1 was a little child, untutored in letters or tho ways of the world, I saw and hold mystic communion witn the spirits of the dead. Was I a,nin, at tho beginning of manhood, as at the beginning of life, to commune with zephyry companions? And Burton Arold! Why had I taken him as a boon companion a man who was as the dead come to life, so unnatural were his ways and so super natural were his thoughts and words? It camo about in this way: I had boon in the swamps of Florida on a hunt for curious insects for a Northern entomologist: and had contracted the "break-bone fever," a terriblo com bination of typhoid fever and in flammatory rhoumatlsni a disease that Is very common in the swampy regijns of the South. During the de lirium which followed I was taken to Mobile and taken care of in a hospital. I was delirious for somo weeks, and when I "came to" 1 was surprised at my surroundings. I inquired of the first person I saw as to where l was and why I was there. This person was Burton Arold, and he told me how it' all came about. How he came to find out 1 do not know, for none of the hospital people bad ever seen him until he was found at my bedside, and none had troubled themselves to learn his name or to give him any Information concerning me. He seemed to take a great interest in me, and attended me during my whole illness with the constancy and tenderness of a firm and devoted friend. His solicitous care had tho effect upon my recovering faculties of winning my unconditional gratitude, fur I found out that the hospital attendants were like a set of machinery, moving here and there in nice order, managed by master heads, but having little more sympathy for a sick person than one would commonly have for a plaster manikin, so accustomed were they to scenes of sickbed and deathbed sufferings. His conversation also charmed me, so ineffably eccentric, buoyant, and beautiful it was. When we were alone in the dark, weary watches of the night, hour after hour, never seeming sleepy, never tired, did he hold me in trances of delight by the ecstasy of his discourse; and the wild flights of fancy, the weird imaginings with which ho would occasionally burst forth when In conversation with me, wrought an agreeable ac companiment to the drowsy fervor and dreamy Ideality that settled down upon me after tho delirium of tho fever. I was naturally disposed to be ab struse and speculative, and the day dreams, the ever changing phantasma goria of imaginative objects that floated through my mind continually during my convalescence, without system or order, were from day to day made brighter, the more delightful, the more pleasantly Infatuating by his fervid, passionate but almost divine genius of eloquence and poetical fancy. I began to love him as a brother and to feel a considerable ad miration for him, and he seemed to reciprocate the attachment. When I became well again, he pro posed that I should accompany him into Louisiana on a visit to tno house tbat had been the home of his sweetheart, who had died some years before. It was haunted house, ho said, but from what he had heard me say when I was ill he guessed that I was not afraid of having friendly visit witn spirits mat were kindly disposed. I asked no questions, bnt promised to go; and thus I eventually found myself on board the small steamboat with Burton Arold at my elbow, both of ns listening to the sounds that came out of the darkness, and waiting for the boat to carry us to tho lauding opposite tho haunted villa; and as we came around a bend in the bayou and the moon went down below the horizon, leaving all in sulien darkness, tho boat swung against the bank. The pilot did not dare to blow the whistle or ring the bell. The reason: It was midnight and the dreadful haunted house was just over the brow of a small nut. We stepped on shore and parted from the boat's wondering crew. That gloomy craft swung out into tho bayou and plied its way onward. We turned up the hilt and walked briskly toward our destination, he leading the way. Low biitunearthly sweet music came in soft, feeling strains, from the direc tion of the villa, which, upon gaining the summit of the bill, I was surprised to see brilliantly illuminated. "The dance Is on," exclaimed Burton, in an swer to my exclamation of inquiry, "gee, we are expected, " and the double front doors opened and a kind-looking elderly matron of the Spanish type camo forward to greet us. CHAJTKK III. Tm SPIRITCAT. KKVEf.WY. The haunted house was deluged In a flood of golden light Melodious music pwnMed and sank and echoed among its hails and chambers as If all harmonious and pleasing sounds were assembled there, wrestling in ecstasies of unrestrained delight In the dining hall a princely banquet was laid ready for the night's refreshment Fair maids and gallant cavaliers, gentle matrons and noble elder gallants, lent tlio charm of their bright smiles and delightful pres ence to every nook, nnd In the great north room sylphllko ligures and fairy forms glided through the dreamy movements of quaint old Spanish reels, or galloped with pretty grace and happy attitudo through the lively changes of more gay and modern fandango; indeed It was a night of revelry and joy. The motherly lady who had met us on the threshold ushered us into a small reception-room and loft us in the presence of the host, an aged gentleman with silvery locks and a stately military bearing, who wa9 sitting In a large oak arm chair, sneaking In bland, pleasant m an il e-, to a group of friends gathered round. Upon our entering lie arose and welcomed us warmly, iiurton. after shaking hands with several present, passed Into another apartment nnd left me alone with the strangers, whereupon the host turned to u:o and suavely said: "Senor, after your night's ride you must feel, to a certain ex'.ent, the inroads of hunger. Tho cloth it laid and roady for the feast" Then stepping to the door of tho north room he beckoned to some one within and was immediately joined by a queenly young lady of prepossessing beauty and charming manner whom he presented tome as as his daughter, thoSenorita Moutinni, who was doing the honors of the house as hostoss. He gave mo the pleasant information that as I was the only stranger among tho guests, tho honor of leading the senorita, in to supper tell to me. Noticing that the prevailing tendency of the guests, by this time was toward tho dining hall, and feeling the fair sonorlta's hand already on my arm, I gave her my attention and fell In line on the general march toward the table, which, when arrived at, preSGiated a most gratifying abundance The viands and delicacies of the meal had a rsmarkablo slgniticance. None of the edibles were ot tho kind or quality common to earth. A mild Iragrauce

welled from every dish, and the palatal) la properties of every sample wore the result of a culinary art dl Heron t from any that I was acquainted with or had ever heard or read of. I'lowers of unknown varieties and unprecedented loveliness poured out their dainty p riume upon tho air, decorated the room, the table, adorned the la lies' corsages and bloomed upon tho lapels of the gentlemen's routs. Laughter, gay conversation and gcntosl enthusiasm went round the board ai d the whole company was in gay spirits. The feast, the feasting, and the feasters were a dream of ailment, radiance and pleasure. Supper over, tho company again repaired to the north room and the daaoiug and the music were resumed. It fell to uie to lead out in tho aftor supper reel wi.h the fair Montinni, but we had only got well to dancing when I discovered that I was honored with another partner altogether. This senorita was just as beautiful as the Montinni. Sho noticed my surprise and said: "Senor must dance with us all, so his partners must change often." She Introduced herself as a daughter of .Senor El Jiu;:a, who had been a partner with Month nl. She was a fascinating conversationalist, but of a mysterious strain, mostly, and alluded several times in a v:iguo way to a mission In connection with tho villa and Its mystic people which she said Fate had appointed me to wors out A dozen times within the next hour and a half wore my partners relieved by new ores. Each was as beautiful as the rest, a id as charming and as pleasant. They n 11 bade me welcome to the house.

and alluded to thosamo mysterious infusion spoken of by the Senorita EI Maze. Tho mystery of the mission perploxed me no1 a little, but the infatuating revelry cf tho dance, and the wild, sweet music that accompanied it, did not suffer me to think seriously on the matter; bo on wo whined beneath the radiant lights, guided by the wild notes of tho harp, he guitar and the violoncello the ccmpany fading and reappearing like people In a dream as they glide! through the quaint figures of fandangos, walti'e 3 and reels. Two hours after supper my last Gartner said to me: "The dance is dona; I must l id you good-nUht" I led her to the door of the ladies' room, where I left her, and upon turning around mot our gray-haired host, who greeted me and said: "You will see no more of us t-I 1 to-morrow night; make yourself perfectly aasy and at home. " With these words ho gl'dod out, and upon his disappearance the music stoppei, the revelry ceased, the lights went eul, the company faded from view, and, speechless with amazement, I found myself alone In tho haunted house, in tho thill air and gray dawn cf morni-'ig, wondering if I was asleep or awake In my right senses or stark mad. to be continued. I Worse Than R Club. It was on a suburban train coming into Jersey City. A bald-headed, fussy-looking man, with a pair of spectacles on his nos? and his hat on the seat liesidc him, kept rubbing his pate i't a nervous way and hitching about on the seat as if he was afraid of taes. Opposite him sat a man who was closely watching his movnients and chuckling and grinning until t he attention of a dozen people was attracted. He was finally asked to explain, and he said: "The old chap over there sat down on my hat, stepped on my toes and elbowi-d my ribs, and didn't apoltgize. I determined to get even with him. He always sits in that seat if it isn' ; occupied, and he always hunts around to find a paper instead of buying one. I'm getting even with hiia this morning. " "But how?" "That paper is just three years old to-dav. It cost me 50 cents to pro cure it:, but I've had $50 worth of revenge. 1 left it on the seat, and he's been leading it for the last twenty miles. See?" The old fellow struck the headlines Of a railroad accident, looked puzzled, bobbed up and down, and slowly shook his head. He jumped from that to a murder on to news from Washington and for a minute was interested in the stock market. Then he folded the paper up, removed his glasses, and Itoked out of the window with a troubled expression on his face. "He's wondering if his mind isn't giving way, and is half-scared to death!" chuckled the joker. "Been flattering himself himself tbat he is good for twenty years yet, and the first thing he does when he gets to the city will be to buy some brain food and a liver pad. I'm not a bad, bad man, but the chap who sits down on my hat must at least apologize." Spare the Spider. Is it not enough that every bird that flies ruthlessly robs her nursery, devours her babies, and even snatches her own soft body from the very sanctum of home; that gauzy flies steal their greedy young into her nursery to fatten upon her infants: that to monkeys, squirrels and lizards her plump body is a sweet morsel they never resist; that frogs and toads snap her up without ceremony; that centipedes seize her i n relentless grasp; that wasps paralyze and bury her alive? writes Oliver Thome Miller in Popular Science Monthly. Are not these enough, without man joining the host of exterminators? Man, too, in whose service she lives! Consider for a moment her usefulness. Count, if you can the thousands of flies and mosquitoes eaten by one common house or garden spider in iv summer, then remember her barmlessness. Other servants we must pay. Birds eat our cut-worms, our caterpillars, and our potato-beetles, but we have to pay a tax small, it is true, in fruits, in berries, in green peas, in corn; owls and hawks, while they destroy moles and mice, indulge now and then in chickens. Bnt the daughter of Arachnc asks no reward, neither fruit nor vegetable suffers from her touch, no humming or buzzing attends her movements. Steadily, faithfully she goes on her way, doing her appointed work; and we, so wise, so far above her in the scale of being, we murder her! Ilgget (iaine Kver Killed with ltlflei, .lohn It. Davis, whose reputation for truth and voracity has hitherto been beyond question, writes th following from She! ton: "I awoke this morning about r o'clock, and, looking out on the Big Skookum Bay, I saw live large whales swimming up the bay toward Sheltou. 1 ran Into tho house aud got my rifle, which is a 45-Winchester.

THE SENATE AND HOUSE.

WORK OF OUR NATIONAL. LAWMAKERS. Proeeedinira of tlia Senate and Boua of Rapreaeaitatlvaa Important Maaauraa Dlicaatefl and Acted Upon Out r the Buaiaaaa, The National Polona, Owing to the fnct that the Congressional excursion to Chicago was ,o start early lo the afternoon ot the 19th :'ow Senators were proaent, and the Senate adjourned early. A bill appropriating $400,000 for a public building fit Taconiu, Wash., was passed, as was also one granting the right of way tn the Duluth and Manitoba Railroad Company across the Fort Pen blna Boservatlon In North Dakota. In tho House the announcement of the purpose to call up the tariff question about tno first of March was made in t!ao Waya and leans Committee at a brief session of tho full committee. Republicans did not object. Mr. Bland offered a resolution providing for a roprlnt of the silver bill and for printing 10,000 additional copies ot the majority and minority report Both Senate and House adjourned until the S3d. After the tbree-day recess of the two hou6ea the Senators were not very punctual In their attendance on the 22d, for uot onefourth of tbe whole number was present when the opening prayer was offered. The calendar was taken up and bills were disposed of as follows: Bouse joint resolution concerning mining debris In California; passed. Appropriating 100. 000 for a public building at Bismarck. N. D. ; passed. To fix tbe compensation of keepers and crews of lifesaving stations; pasaoi. Keepers of life-saving stations except stations known as houses of refuge are to be paid WOO per year, and members of the crews of stations are to be paid S69 per month during the time the stations are manned. House bill to provide an additional mode of talcing depositions of witnesses la causes pending in the United States courts (allowing depositions to be taken uader Btfita laws), was passed. The bill to prevent the adulteration of misbranding of food and druea was then takes up' as the unflntsbed business." and Mr. Paddock (who Is In charge of it) made some brief remarks In -ts aupporh Mr. Bate and Mr. Coke spoke against tbe bill. Without action the Senate went into executive Besslon and soon adjourned. The Bouse held a short session, but transacted no business. In the Senate, the 24th, after tbe introduction of several bills, the session was taken up by consideration of the Idaho eleotlon case and the reading of President Harrison's special message concerning the World's Fair. In the House the Indian appropriation bill still continues to be the subject of monotonous consideration. The debate Is generally of the most uninteresting kind, and It Is only when the Indian agents come In for denunciation by somo of the friends of tbe red man tbat tho debate occasionally assumes a lively character. Well Thrown. On a day in January, thirty-two years ago, the people f Madison Village, Me., wen; righting Are. The west wind blew a hurricane; the tavern and an adjoining dwellinghouse had already burned to the ground, and the entire village was threatened. The Congregational Church stood in direct line with the Are, but the wide village green might save it. Hundreds of anxious eyes were on the watch lest some spark or live cinder should fall upon its exposed roof and walls, which were kept drenched with water. A blazing cinder whirled high across the green, and a strong, sucking current of air carried it and held it against a clapboard of the tall steeple; held "it until the dry, pitch-tilled strip of wood ignited, and a brisk smoke was lising on the steeple's south face. A groan burst from the watching crowd. No ladder could reach the spot, and the loved church must bum A red tongue of. flame shot out from the blackened hole that the live cinder had- charred, then whiz went a flying snowball up from the crowd, a single, big, moist snowball, that snuffed out that blaze as one snuils out a candle. Warren Bacon with his good right left haid had quickly shaped and thrown the snowball, and the church was saved. The building still stands, and the pierced clapboards on the south side of the steeple still show where the blazing cinder and then the flying snowball struck. Jewish Emigration. Jewish emigration is one that vitally concerna the people of the United States. Iast year the number of Hebrews who came to the porta of the United (States was 70,000, aud this year the number will be much greater. There are 6,009,000 of the Jewish raoe in ltusaia and Russian Poland and the government of the Czar Is determined to drive them away from these places. Whither shall those people go? There is considerable talk of some cf them goinjf to Brazil, the Argentine ltepublie, Mexico and other Spanish-American countries, but it Is. in tho United States thut they desire to settle. This is a serious consideration for Americans. The Jewish people do not amalgamate with the people of this country; th'y form colonies of their own and they care not to learn of our language, our institutions or our industries, It Is probable that within three years there will come to this country more than 1,000,000 Jews. What can tho United States Government do for the regulation of emigration of this kind? ifi a question that however Interesting cannot now be solved. Sot Worth So Much Himself. "Ten thousand dollars for a dog!" ho exclaimed, as he looked up from hiu newspaper. "Do yot. believe anyone ever paid any such prh.-e, Maria?" "I'm sure I don't know, James," she returned, without stopping her needlework even for a moment. "Does the paper F.ay that much was paid?" "Yes, there's an article on valuable dogs and it speaks of one that was sold for $10,000. I don't believe it." "It may bo true, James," she sold, quietly. "Some of these blooded animals bring fancy prices, and there's no particular reason why the paper should lie about it." "I know that, Maria; but just think of it just try to grasp the magnit ude of that sum In your weak, feminine mind. You don't seem to realize it. Ten thousand dollars for a dog! W hy, Maria! that's more than I am worth!" 'I know It, James, but some are worth more than others." All Sorts. A. fair quotation is not piracy. Lova without suerlfloe is largely ornamental. PLEiSCEE for many; happiness fot the few. Age knows what is ahead; youth seeks it. Electric fire engines are being exhibited in London. Friiindsjcip lasts longer than love and is more reliable. It always makes a trouble smaller to tell it to a friend you believe in. TnrjTH walks slowly, and even then some people can't keep up with it. The Eev. Mark Trnfton says that hearty breakfasts are a bulwark against fate. We sometimes forget in tho ashes tho glow and the warmth that preceded them. It's bad enough to bite off more than you oan chew, but it's worse to try to chew It. In Austria women are employed us hod carries and are paid at tho rate of 23 cents a day.

A Btraicht Han. I A chap who plumped off the wharf at

the foot of Randolph street, the other day, was promptly pulled out by thres or four men who witnessed the aotion, and when the victim was safe on ths planks one of the men remarked "Did you fall in?"
