From the Louisville Journal.

SINGULAR PHENOMENA. Forty years ago there lived on Bine River, in Indiana, a venerable man of German descent, by the name of Mr. B., with his wife, also well stricked in years. Mr. B. was a highly respectable citizen, well to do in the world, and settled and opened his farm on Blue Biver before it was a State. His house was a large two-story building of hewn logs, two rooms above and two below, with a story gallery in front, running the whole length of the building. This ancient couple had two daughters, their only children, handsome and attractive. The elder1 when about twenty, was married to a young gentleman who resided some eight or ten miles from Mr. B. The young couple lived together happily for about a year, when the young wife came to her parents' house to be confined. Two or three days after the confinement the mother and infant both died. This was a sad blow to all. The bereaved husband and father was ovewhelmed with affliction. While he was a widower he spent much of his time at his father-in-law's house. About a year after his bereavements he married Mr. R.'s second daughter, with her parents' consent, aud took her to his home, leaving the old people alone.

One warm autumn evening, in the year 1820, old Mr. B. sat alone in his gallery, while his wife engaged about her domestic concerns in the house. About dusk a stranger rode up and alighted from his horse, and, approaching Mr. B„ asked him if he could entertain him for the night.— Mr. B. agreed to entertain the strainger, and desiriug him to bo seated took the horse to the stable and returned to the gallery where the stranger still sat. Mr. B.'s account of the stranger was that he appeared to be a middle aged man, but to all appearances active and alert. He declined the invitation to supper, and retired at an early hour. His bed-room was up stairs, and he also declined the candle offered him. The family retired and he heard no more of the stranger,for the night.

Mr. B., as usual, rose early next''morning, while it was yet dim twilight, but early as it was lie found the stranger up and equipped for his journey. The horse was brought to the gate, the stranger offered to pay but Mr. B. refused. When about to leave the stranger said lie was in great doubt whether or not he ought to inlorin his host of what had occurred to him during the night at his houso, but lie felt it duty to do so. The stranger then informed Mr. B. that he had gone to bed, ind lay with his face to the open window near him the moon shone so brightly on the window sill that lie could see objects distinctly, and while thus lying and looking out at the window, he saw an infant, to all appcarance newly born, pass in at the window into the room where he lay, that he heard it walk the floor that it repeatedly passed up and down the stairs, that he could distinctly hear the steps on the stairs, and that it continued to go about the chamber, aud up and down the stairs all the night, and that at the first crowing of the cock for daylight it passed out at the window at which it had eutered, and disappeared. The stranger said he had not slept during the night that he was uruler no delusion, but in his Icier souses had seen all he had related.

Mr. R. felt much astonished at this account and while musing upon it, the stranger mounted his horse and rode away and Mr. R. saw him Ao more. Mr. R. could

formed his wife what he hud heard.

Night came agan, and Air. R. proceed-

ed te the chamber where the stranger had

sJcpt. and seated himself quietly on the

bedside. He waited some time and neither j,

saw nor heard anything to confirm he

strange story, and was in the act of rising to proceed down stairs, when he distinctly heard a light, hasty step, like that of a small child, coming up the stairway from the room below. The moon partially lighted the room he was in.

The step seemed to comc into the room, arid to pass about as if seeking for some

Again he heard the footsteps, but they did not now come into the room below. Satisfied at length tbnt he could not see the mysterious walker or account for

the sound of its.step, he proceeded to his

staircase, and walked the room in darl evading the sight of all but the stranger who gave Mr. R. the first information of the nocturnal visitant. But it began to be whispered among the neighbors that Mr. R.'s house was haunted. As usual in such cases there was a rush to the scene of the all-absorbing mystery.

In this condition of things, Mr. R. called on the minister and elders of his church and invited them to visit his house and to witness the supernatural phenomena, and aid him in the detection of the trick, if one were being practiced on him, or in some manner" unravel' the dreadful mystery. An evening was fixed on for their visit, and they all attended, and it was from the lips of the venerable minister that the writer learned the particulars of the story.

The campany that met was eight or ten in number, elderly and sedate Christian men. After solemn prayer and exhortation they proceeded to their stations and awaited the coming of the mysterious visitant. They did not wait-long. The step was directly heard on the floor of .the upper room,.the company then being below. 'As they approached the stair door with lights tfce steps' were heard ascending the stairs, and again on the floor «f tbe «pper room .jBjr,

they saw.nothing, and pausing again heard the little feet tripping down stairs behind them.

They then descended again to the lower room, and finding nothing were surprised to hear the same mysterious sonnd in the chamber over their heads. The company then divided, a portion going into the chamber, and each company carrying lights as before, the steps were distincty audible on the stairs, going constantly up and down, but not entering either room.

The minister then went to the staircase in the lower room and. posted himself so that the light of his candle shone on apart only of the flight of steps, leaving the remainder in comparitivc darkness. The little feet descended the stairs until they came to the last step, ou which the light did not shine, then changed their course, and were instantly heard in some unlighted part of the house, sometimes below, often in the galleries, but mostly on the stairs if the lights were absent.

Varying their experiments, they extinguished all the lights and sat together, sometimes in one room, sometimes another and still the footsteps passed about the house, moving around them, often near them, aud even in their midst. Again and again the minister solemnly, in ihe name of the living God, invoked the strange visitant to speak and tell its errand, and why it walked in darkness, disturbing the inhabitants of the house as if seeking for something or some person who was not there. The minister then seated himself on the stairs, sitting crosswise, extending his feet so as to occupy but a single step of the stairs—the lights were all removed so that the stairway was left in darkness. The footsteps came and went up and down, touching apparently, on every step of the stairway except the one occupied by the minister, and passed silently over that one.

The company remained all night they examined the premises thoroughly, from garret to cellar, but nowhere (could they discover the source of the mystery.)

A short time after this the venerable minister related to me the facts as I have detailed them here. I have not heard that there was any solution of the mystery, but if this paper is published it may meet the eye of some one capable of furnishing the explanation. I do not consider it a ghost story. I do not believe in them but there are phenomena difficult to account l'or without the intervention of Mipernatural agency.

LONDON IN TIIE YEAK 1SGO.

The statistics of the British metropolis for the present year, show some interesting aggregates. The people of that city seem toliavc good deal of thirst, and the facilities for allaying the same arc quite extensive.

According to the most reliable account, London contains 4,000 pubiic houses, and 1,000 wine merchants. The bread which offsets this enormous quantity of sack, is furnished by 2,500 bakers. Then there aTC 1,700 butchers, (not including the pork butchers, 2,000 tea- dealers and grocers, 1,200 coffee house keepers, nearly 1,500 dairyman, and 1,350 tobacconists.

GIGANTIC TELESCOPE.

The stupeneous telescope which has been constructed for Mr. Craig, the eminent English astronomer, has a tube which, together with an eye-piece at the narrow end, and a deep cap at the other, is eighty-five feet in length. Its exterior is of bright metal, the inner is painted black. The focal distance varies from seventy-six to eighty-five feet in length. The tube at its greatest circumference measures thirteen feet^nd this part is about twenty-four feet from the object glass.

Two glasses arc used, one of flint, the

other of plate-glass. The plate-glass lens

and one and a half inches its refractive index is 1,5103. The flint-glass lens has a negative focal length of forty-nine feet and ten and a half inches, and the refractive index of this glass is 1,6308. These two lenses, placed in contact, are used in combination, and constitute the achromatic object-glass, the focal length of which is .•seventy-six feet to parallel rays—that is, to all celestial objects, and it would be eighty-five feet focal length only to objects of about seven hundred feet distance from the object-glass.

A popular notion of the extraordinary power of this instrument is conveyed by the statement that by it a quarter-inch letter can be read at the distance of half a mile. Notwithstanding the immense size of the instrument, the machinery is such

AGASSIZ'S K.YIERIEKCE"WAS »T SOMNA.UBLHS.il ttlt SPIRITUALISM. The Spiritual Magazine, recently published, contains the following strange story: .\gassiz had been deeply cogitating on a fossil which Ind been recently discovered, having new and remarkable-peculiari-ties. It was apparently the connecting ling between vertebrate and the lower animals, as tho mudfish from Africa, exhibited in tiie Crystal Palace, is tho connctting link between fishes and reptiles but what was mortifying and puzzling to him vir*, that the very part of the fossil which

It EVOLUTIONARY.

The Londou correspondent of tho Boston Post writes: The most powerful forces move with the least noise, and it is often true in the political world as in the laboratory of nature.— Great events arc coming out of the present state of things in Austria. Naples and tho Papal States. Three of the vilest despotisms in Europe are in the great straits.— In Naples there is such a reign of terror, both with the people and the reigning family, that it is hard to tell which arc the most frightened. In Rome the populacc shout "Vive L'Empereur," greet the French soldiers heartily, and jeer at the Papal police. The inhabitants ot all Central Italy, the Duchies and a Komagna, as well as the Melanesc, arc going to choose their king, or ruler, by universal suffrage. In Austria the firm protests of the Hungarian Protestants and nobles, and the earnest solicitations of the best men of the Empire, are totally disregarded by the half-idiotic Emperor and his priestly advisers. Whether the Austrian Empire will hold its present sway long is extremely problematical but as for the power of the Pope over the Romagna, out of Rome itself, it has ccascd forever.

Jlaving sccurcd the drawing, tho professor compared it with the fossil, and, as his curiosity was now largely excited,, he ventured on endeavoring to uncover that part of it which vras concealed under the stony deposit. Applying a line chisel to the part, he was fortunate enough to remove the covering, and there wa» displayed before his eyes the exact coiwteypart of his picture, antl his three dreams, if ho were not a profenror, we think he might,. after such a fact, believe in spiritual law* and cntT''ics, and in himself."
