I mechanlcall sought the door, and Wis startled, indeed, upon suddenly encountering Bun on, who was leisurely pacing up and dc wo the north balcony. Hs noticed my astonishment, laugningly, and motioned me to he seated upon the balcony raiting. "Did you enjoj yourself?" he asked. "Yes," I replied, "I did: but whether I anjoyed a drea n or a reality I cannot di tennine. Is tliis an enchanted house where a person is deluded into passing through all these things, or were thoseactually spirits frathored together on a festal occasion?" "Those were the shades of the people who once lived here," replied Burton. TTiey were here to celebrate a popular family anniversary, and also to receive In becoming state a person, who, you nitre undoubtedly heard, is destined to work out an important mission in connection with the house." "That means me. I presume." said I. "Hut what," I asked, "is this mission this all mysterio js mission that I have hrara referred to so many times within the past few hours?" "It has beer ordained that oth ers should acquaint you with the necessary information." replied Burton. "Besides, the most mys terious part of the mission bas been studiously kept secret from me. Everything will undouotedly be made plain to yon as yon need to proceed. " The glorious prospect of the waking day, as the sun's great orb slowly crept out ol the eastern void, fixed our atten tion and stayed our words for a spell. and we drank In the radiant effect in silence. When the sun had crept up its length or so along the f rmament, Burton arose and said that h must leave me for the day, as he had to go to a neighboring village on a business errand. He informed me that dinner wonld be ready for me at noon, and that if I got lone some tbe o.d ft.mily library had a rich store of the wherewith to while away time. Then he wished me a pleasant morning and left me In charge of my mission. B'or an hour or so I walked around the lonely old place. Sadly neglected nad it been lor years. Becoming tired at length of the dreadful dullness of the place, I sought the library, as Burton had directed. The door had been shut so long that It dime open with difficulty, bet finally yield 3d and I walked in. The room wat filled with easy chairs, writing desks and various-sized book cases. Opening one of the latter, I drew forth a qr alnt little volnme that had attracted my attention through the glass iront, ana opened it. A small parcel fell to :he floor. I picked this up to see woat it contained. A larse white rose, dried and pressed from hav ing been in th book, and musty with age, was diseased; but from it even then issued a delicate fragrance that was charming to the sense. The stem of this rose was uniquely attached by a small blue rlbr on to a thick piece of pretty note paps, upon the opposite side of which were written some verses, headed with the words, "To Zeyna," and signed by Burton Arc-Id. I was so curious as to road these verses. They were as follows: Of all the flowers, dear, that grow Up bom the fertile sod. Xbe fragrant white rose is, 1 know. Sweet as -the unite ot God: As sweet, Zeyo t, thy nature true, As sweet as the u. how few! Then take this rose and wear It a here Twill catch 'ho changing sheen That darts aloi thy raven hair. Or glances blight between The laahee of t ly tender eyes And on thy fair cheek ilea Wear It love, where thy breath, twice sweet, Can Idea its fragrant loaves; Look on't, then think, my dear, to meet He 'neath the hanging eaves Of the old rose-bower to-night, Prepared for secret flight I fell to musing upon this little relic of Burton's coartship, which had been cut short, so lie nad told me, by the death of Zeyn v But I was disturbed presently by a flight step upou the floor. Startled, I looked up Angel or iiKdt : Dream of spiritual loveliness! Wis heaven at hand, and was the queen thereof standing within the gates? Thus I, Indeed, thought for the moment. I had seen beauty before in this won derful world, xith upon the painter's canvas and in reality; I have seen it since; I had ssen it the night before among the apparitions of the spiritnal revelry; but mi y the beings that people paradise be one-hail so lovely as tbe radiant spirit maiden who stood so divinely there In that ancient and dusty library. My wildest, most indulged flights or imagination were eclipsed In that face and form. I knelt In an ecstasy of rev erence In the presence. Majestic and queenly, with a slight halo about the head; long, loosely flowing tresses; a pale, sweet, pur - face; tender, lustrous eyes, that seemed to melt the very soul with sympathy and rapture; a divinely perfect form, molded exquisitely within the transparent folds of a great znphyry mantle of pui-e white thus stood the spirit before me! l endeavored to speaK out tbe phan tom placed a finger upon her lips and hook her head. Turning out of the room, and beckon ing me to follow, she flitted down the nalL through several bare rooms, then Into a small office in a winz of the build ing. Here sh ? stopce;! by the side of a narrow dcor vhieh she mot'oned me to open. It led us into a vault, set in the side of which was a rusty iron box, with its door partly ajar. The phantom sig nified a desire to have this opened, and with the aid oi an Iron bar that 1 found upon the floor I pried the door back. A roll of parch nent fell out I started to open this, but she shook her head, and placing her Soger against the dark side of the vault, traced, In pale phosphorescent letters that faded away almoiit as fast as she wrote, this sentenco: "My intrusting to you this paper is a part of your preordained fate; it is a part of your mission here; do not open it until you are well acquainted with the object of the mission.'' With this she bowed her thanks and vanished. CHAPTER V. OI IKVBSTIQATOR8. I hurried back ont of the vauK for it was a cold, dismal place, and locking in my traveling valise the document Intrusted to me, sought the open air just in time to see a posse of men ride up on horseback. They were all booted arid spurred, and wore broad slouch hats. after the accepted Louisiana lasnion. They were air o armed with carbines and pistols, and wore determined-looking men. They ride dire -tiy up to the front door, and seemed greatly abashed to see live Dersor upon the promise. The leader, who Introduced himself as the sheriff and tbe rest as all otiicnrH or tiie parish, from the parish capital, asked mi) if I was X he man of the bouse. I replied that t was simply a visitor at tbe villa, and that I knew of no living head of the establishment. They inquired as to low long 1 had beeu there, aed if I had noticed anything out of the way about the place. I answered that I a4 ftrfiYKi jut the Blfhl Wm ftud

that nothing particularly bad had occurred as yot Then a long conversation ensued, in which I learned that several of the oilicoi s were heavy land owuers aid that tliey were so unfortunate as to bo in possession of many acres adjoining the Jlontinni ostato, which land could not bo sold for a penny on account of Its nearness to the villa, which was generally bellevodto be a cur-nd and haunted place They said that tbey would like

to search the house.to see lor themselves if any supernatural agencies infested It, and if there were any noticeable grounds for the wild reports curront throughout the community, If I would grant them permission. This 1 did, as 1 had no au thority or inclination to do otherwise. Wn all entered tbe house together, the sheriff and myself loading. We had hardly got half way down the hall when tho gentleman who bore the distinction of being parish clerk felt his carbine eluding his grasp, and, almost overwhelmed with amazement and fear, saw it leave his shoulder and retire swiftly to tho door, where it seemed to bo held by an invisible somebody standing on guard. As he was too frightened to speak, and as the others did not notice the mishap a panic was avoided. On they trudged through the rooms. Inspecting each closely; then through tho cellar vaults, but no trace of ghost did we find, although as one of tho ofliccrs remarked, it was gloomy enough to breed ghosts by tbe hundreds. Upstairs, on one side of the hall, the rooms were all locked. The sheriff fo:t a curiosity to look Into these. Taking a skeleton key from his pocket he tried the first one of the doors. The key turned in the lock and he was just palling the door open when a strong light flushed from within, blinding a 1 for a moment, during which timo the door was closed, locked and tbe key thrust back into the Sheriffs hand by, to them, an invisible agency, but to me tbe agency appeared distinctly in the fair form of the phantom lady, who, pointing to tbe row of doors, gave a warning lo ik. Turning to the officers I told them that the just enacted revelation was sufficient evidence that those1 doors were not to be opened at the present time, and that perhaps it would not bn well to persist in the investigation. And they seamed to agree with me, judging from thalr blanched faces. Ah, human bravery and cowardice! how often dost thou live side by side In one heart! These seven men, four of whom wore veterans of two wars and dlutlnguishod for their bravery in battle, there in that room . where there was no danger at all, stood pale as the specters thsmsolves. silent as statues, tre mbling, speechless, in abject fear, I watched them curiously for a momont. Presently faint rapplngs sounded on all the locked doors, and a dense vapor begun to obscire the hallway. One man let his carbine drop to a rest upon tie floor, and at tho noise thus made evsry honorable officer started as if awakened from a troubled sleep, and in concert, as if inspired with a sudden madness, they gave a wild, crazy yell and fled down the stiilrs and down into the outer air as if the legions of Tophet had been let loose at their heels. Panic-stricken, they hurriedly mounted and spurred their astonished animals to their full powers of speed down the road. Thus men otherwise brave and perhaps hero'c are sometimes fright -ned out of their wits by one little snperni tnral sign. It is natural that this should be; so you and 1 are not sur prised, and hold them in no contempt for it Soon nothing could be sojn cf the in vestigators but the cloud of dust their precipitate flight had stirred up, and l turned into the house and repaired to ; tbe dining-room, where I found a good i lunch spread for mo. Having eaten to my satisfaction, I concluded that I would spend the r st of the day saunter- ! ing about the holds and loo x lug at the : country. CHAPTER VI. j THE OLD NEGRO'S 8T0HY About a half mile above the ho ase there ; wis a shady valley with a siu ht Diuir . upon one side. This had attracted my ; attention, and after I had eiton my lunch I started forthwith to esplore in that direction. At the edge of this valley I noticed a llitle, badly weather-beaten shanty, npon a stool in front of which an aged nogro was sitting, playing sn&tches of jii;s and tonrnabonts on a dilapidated old banjo. I took it into my bead to In terview the o'd man, and stepping up to him accostod him with, "Hell, uncle!" Never shall f forget the amazed look oi that patriarch as he started up in response to my salute. He then stopped his twanging banjo and sat as one dumb, for a moment; then jumping up, ran to me and clasp-' Ing both arms about me, cried between sobs and laughter: ! "Lor britss y .Massa Man l, dey tor me yo wus dead an burned in d grabe yn'd down dab, an' Ise un kep yo' grabe green fur fefteeu yeiii!" That I who had been born and reared lo the Norch, and knew but litt'e of the , 9 lory of owning slaves, should be addressed as "Massa," was queer enough; but to be thus warmly fawned upon l y , a strango darky, and earnestly to!d that ' my grave had been kept green for If I teen ; years, was startling Indeed. Of couse, 1 immediately saw that tho venerable black had simply made a mistake la , identity. As he insisted on continuing ; to go into ocstasios over mo and to allude ' to me as his "own goad .Massa Man 1," 1 i had to shako him away and explain to ! him his error. Ho seemed very rcluc- ! taut to accept the truth and was really ; disappointed. After 1 had convinced him that I was not his deceased master i come to life, no matter how closely I i might resemble that gentleman, wo had a long talk concerning tho Villa Mon- , ttnni. 1 learned from him that his mas-' tor had been one uF the younger El : Muzas; also that the El Muzas, and another family, the El Xegals, who had been in partnership with the Montinnis, aid bad made their home at the villa for ; many years, were Spaniards of Moorish ancestry, descendants of princes of the Alhambra, and were very proud of the purity of their lineage. The old negro's views of the haunted house wero queer. He held the idea that all the doors, pieces of furniture, etc., 1 were animated with life and cculd move around just as they chose. He had seen them move back out of the way, ex- I ehange places, etc., but did not seem to 1 understand the fact that they were man- j ijjulated by Invisliilo hands. II: j common ; negro Instinct gave him a terror of 1 ghosts, hut notwithstanding this he had frequently ventured Into the old house in the day timo. Only once lmd he beheld a spiritual manifestation, and then ho fell down upon his face and prayed for mercy, for he thought that his timo t) perish had come; but; his fear had turned to rapture when he beheld the fair faco of the phantom lady fixed In the air before him. He thought she vas an angel come to take him to the promised blessedness. "I tell yo' wat It am, massa," ho said, when I seed dat spirit lady t knowed as 'twuz de Henorlta E) Zogal Zeyna wuz 'er fust name as died wid 'er heart breaked kos de ol' folks parted her frum de chap she lub. V see de chap's muddor, as wuz a El Mtra, an' married a Englishman, wuz de.urtnd bj 'or husban' an' de folks wouldn't bo'leb in de legwality ob de marriage, so dey wouldn't lot de son court d gal. Do Ian' time de chap con d got to see 'er lie don' gib 'er a big w'ito rose an' a papal) wld somethln' writ on it, an' aftah ho went away she read de writiu' an' kiss de rose an' cried. 1 knowed tlat It wuz forbid dat dey see each udder f .f tall dat. Dun de young lady as wuz nibbed by ebrybody took sick an died an' wuz laid away. I digged de grabe. I knowed jltl wkftV da, young chap eloU dat w'itft ,

But laws! massa, 1 hab llbbed loan yeah since dat timet She jis don' ban' mo a noospapah an' say: 'if a gemmoh ebor come to yo' frum dls house dat puts yo' in niin' ob somebody dat am dead an' dat yo' used to liko to servo, han' dis pupah to him for it has nows in what he as udders will bo concerned. An' den she don' vanished. " Another point had come in my dogtined work. 1 knew that I was the person to whom tho newsjiapor In question was to bo given. "Ben," 1 said, ''do you remember that I came from the haunted house, and that you mistook mo for a person whom

you once delighted to servo.' That pa per is 1 '-' - " by all good. Tho vouecwuii ui iiu"ge ivupa ui fads about accidents, which has been made necessary by the development of accident insurance, has made o contribution to one department of social science that is by no means uninteresting. For instance, says a writer in the Forum, it is a curious fact that a man is much more likely to lose his left hand than his right hand, or his left eye than his right eye. Statistics show, too, that when n man insures himself against accidents he thereby greatly diminishes the risk of accident and this is probably explained in this way: When a man's attention is called to danger ho iixes his 3nind on it, and thereby consciously or unconsciously makes unusual effort to avert it. It therefore often happens that a man Is more likely to be the victim of an accident of a kind that he never thought of than of the kind against which he insures himself. A man, for instance, who handles sharp tools will insure himself against an accident from the use of them, and tho first thing he knows he will be drawing ay from an insurance company for un injury done by getting a cinder in his eye. Not only are such odd and curious facts as these brought to light by the development of accident insurance but a great many important groups of facts which bear upon the habits of men and the development of civilization. For instance, accidents are much more common in sparsely settled portions of the country than in densely settled portions, and they happen more frequently in the middle of winter and in the middle ('f summer than in tbe other sea sons of the year. Let Children Sloop. A plea in behalf of giving more sleep than is customarily allowed to the young has been set in circulation through the newspapers of Germany by a physician who erroneously enough is named Dr. Cold, despite the evidence lie gives of being warmhearted. A healthy infant, he says, sleeps most of the time during the first few weeks; and in the early years, people are disposed to let children sleep as much as they will. But from six or seven, when school begins, there is a complete change. At 1 lie age of ten or eleven, the child sleeps only eight or nine hours, when he needs at least ten or eleven, and as he grows older the time of rest is shortened. Dr. Cold believes that, up to twenty, a youth needs nine hours' sleep and an adult should have eight or nine. With insufficient sleep, the nerveous system, and brain especially, not resting enough, and ceasing to work normally, wo find exhaustion, excitability, aud intellectual disorders gradually taking the place of love of work, general wellbeing, and spirit of initiative. American Analyst. The Tvinporanient of Genius. Au eminent litterateur, who like other journalists seems in tho season of tho big gooseberry the season, too, described by a leading publisher as the dullest on record to suffer from lack of matter for his monthly gossip, has raised, apropos of Sirs. Ireland's new book, the old question of the celibacy of writing men. He says to the matrimonially minded virgin, "Don't marry a man of gonius. So and on much the same grounds has tho author of "Virgiulbus FiieriS'iuc" spoken To quote him, "The practice of letters is miserably harassing to the mind, and after an hour or two's work all tho more human portion of the author is extinct; he will bully, backbite, and speak daggers " But the doctors ditler. A day or two ago I was talking to one of tbe most eminent and also one of the busiest of oui literary men. I asked him what portions of life he thought most enjoyable. "Those i;i which I am hard at work," lie answood, without a moment's hesi tation. "And does it not make you nervous aud irritable?" was my noxt query. "Not at all," he replied; "on the contrary, a spell of composition exhilarates mo like the drinking of champagne. I never feel depressed or gloomy except when Idle." One fancios Sir Walter Scott did not make a bad husband, and he worked about as hard as most men. Depend upon it, tho marriage of a literary man is as much of a lottery as any other wedding. London lilobe. Tito Origin aud lllatory of Wire Kails. The history of the wire nail business in the United States for the past few years presents a miracle of industrial dovo'opment. As recently as 3 t?sn wire nails were known only as fancy articles, used in cabluot aud fine finishing work, and their manufacture was confined to one or two factories employing in ail not more than -'0( men. To-day It ranks side by side with all our great industries, and directly or indirectly not less than 100,000 souls are dependent on It for support The astonishing growth of this manufacture is shown in the following table, giving tho product of the country iu kegs of 100 pounds, each year since 1862: Kegs. 1982 50,003 1893 80.0UO IfjllS 120,010 1885 200,000 1K10 3oO,(00 1NH7 SJO.0U0 1BS8 1.0011.000 lgafl 2,200,000 1890 8,500,000 A iiAUMi.Kss lotion for whitening and softening the complexion is made as follows: Casi arilla powder, 2 grains; muriato of ammonia, 2 grains; emulsion of almonds, s ounces.

At the time of tbe annexation a wife could bo purchased for from 20 to 40 rupees; the quotations vary at present from CO to 800 rupees. The decrease of infanticide in the Punjab Is said, indeed, to be largely due to this enhancement in the prospective value of female infarls. The custom of selling girls is meanwhile becoming increasingly common, and instances are reported in which the very highest class of Rajpoots have purchased their wives in this way. A .ii'Dicioi s silence is always better than trail) spoken without charity.

DOINGS OF CONGRESS.

MEASURES CONSIDERED AND ACTED UPON. At the Nation's Capital What Is Being Pone by the Senate and Ilonse Old Matters Disposed Ol and Msiw Ones Considered. The Sonata and Bouse, In the Senate, the 20th, after so vera! bills weie reported aud placed ou tho calendar, tbe Idaho election case whs attain taken up. Mr. Claggett, the contestant, was presented to the Senate by Mr. Stewart and recognized by tho presiding off ceroi entitled to address the Souuta for two hours. After be had spoken about two hours but without finishing his speech, Mr. Cl iggett yielded the floor, and the case wen'; over without action. After a short executive session tbe Senate adjourned till tho 20th. In the Bouse. Andrew Stewart, ot tbe Twenty-fourth Pennsylvania District, was unseated and Alexander K. Craig, his tttle contestant, doclarod the regueoted Representative. Nothing else i tance was accomplished, j Bouse, on the 89th, on motion of id, of California, a bill was passed apart a tract ot land for the use of .ou MtA Observatory, University of Call fornla, A resolution was also passed authorising the joint Committee on Immigration to Investigate the operation of tho immigration laws, the importation of contract labor, and to Inquire particularly into tbe immigration of persons, affected with typhus fever into the port of Now York. The House Committee on Bule agreed iO report a re-iolation making ths silver b-11 the order of business tor tbrae days, beginning March 22. No data was fixed for measures concerning tbe tariff. Indian sectarian schools was tbe subject of three, hours' acrimonious dlsousaion in the House on the 1st. The Indian appro priatiou bill was the measure under consideration, and the immediate cause of the discussion was the section making appropriation for the Carlisle Indian schooL Tho bill was passed. Mr- McMillln, of Tennessee, reported the free wool bill, which was referred to the committee ot the whole. Mr. pryan, ot Nebraska, and Mr. Turner, of Georgia, respectively, from the same committee, reported bills for the free entry ot binding twine and cotton bagging and ties, which were referred to the committee of the whole, and leave was granted to Mr. Payna of New York, and Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, to present the views of tho minority on the measure. In the Senate, after the transaction of routine business the Idaho election, case was taken up and Mr. Ban ders addressed the Senate In defense of Mr. Claggott's right to the seat Mr. Morgan mado a. legal and contitltuna argument against tbe right of Mr. Dubois to occupy a seat 1 1 the Senate. In tho Sonata, on the 2d Mr. Dolpb presented petitions from bis State favoring government aid for tbe Nicaragua oanaL The Idaho election case was taken up and Mr. Guorgo stated the reasons which would routrol bis own action in casting his vole for the contestant. Mr. Vilas argued that tho sitting member, Mr. Dubois, was legally elected and entitled to the seat Ou tbe suggestion of Mr. Oroy that some 8enators were absent who desired to record their votes on the question, the vote was postponed. The proceedings ot the Rouse ware quite uninteresting and confined strictly to the consideration of tbe District of Columbia appropriation bill. On only one occasion did party politics find a place In the discussion and (hat was when Mr. Hemphill, of the Democratic side, proposed an amendment reducing tbe 111,000 or 112,000 salary which the Recorder ot Deeds of the District Of Columbia receives In tbe way of fees to a fixed salary of $3.00 per annum. All fees are to be turned Into the public Treasury after da Auctions for necessary clork hire. The House adjourned with the bill still undisposed of. . Metallio Ties. That the wooden railroad tie must sooner or later give place to a metallio substitute has long been admitted by engineers, and lately we are beginning to see that the coming change in this respect cannot be much longer delayed. Experiments made within a year or two on a number of leading roads suffice already to show that there is a superior economy in metal, and but for the fact of its large"r first cost it would likely dis place wood very rapidly. It will do so gradually in spite of this, as with many railway companies the initial cost is of less importance than the ultimate economy, which Is sufficiently in favor of the metallic tie to de termine the question of its use. The result of this must tie a slow decline in what is now a flourishing and profitable branch of the lumber business, but the fact will not occasion widespread regret in the trade. The traffic in ties draws heavily upon the supply of young, partly grown timber, not yet ripe for the saw mill, that it would be good discretion to refrain from cutting, and any change in consumptive requirements that would permit such trees to attain maturity will prolong the duration of the timber supply and work for the best interest of the lumber trade. We cannot help thinking that lumber men should do all they can to help forward the change from wood to metallic ties, in the interest of the. preservation of their own business. Exchange.

Uncle Billy recently developed a great deal of interest in religious matters, and it was oliserved with a good deal of surprise by several boatowners that' he was no longer ready and willing to take a hand at the work they offered him.
