PHANTOMS OF FLKUItY.

It was toward the omi of August when 1 paid my first vt-.it to the old Chateau de Fleury.

My road, mere cart track, lay across the plain, between the golden stubble fields that till few days before had teon covered with I'ipe corn. ft was not often that 1 walked away from the great forest that stretched darkly over the gently swelling hills behind me, but it was late in the afternoon, the shadows alrendy gathered thickly beneath its shade, and I turned involuntarily toward the sun. My walk was solitary. The only people I met were one or two laborers, inen and women, returning from their work, who saluted mo as they paused with "Bon soir, m'sieu."

Tho scene was very peaceful the air was warm and soft, tho sinking sun cast his rays gently over tho earth, far away, from one of the many villages dotted on the plain, came tho sound of the vesper bell, and the land looked very fair. But with its beauty there was also that sadness which will come when summer is giving place to autumn. Tho earth is at rest. She has brought her wealth of fruit and flowers to perfection, and is taking a breathing space before beginning her winter struggles. Summer is still with her, but ho hovers with outstretched wings, ready to answer the voices that call him elsewhere, turning a last tender, loving farewell look upon tho land he has so blessed with his presence.

And with this sadness upon me 1 passed through the old gateway and stood in the groat quadrangle. The grass had grown long and tho paths were covered with weeds, but it was not quite deserted, for at the well an old man in a blue apron was drawing water. He raised his bucket and, with slow and laborious steps, turned and passed through a little postern gate, the water splashing over as he went. The inclosure in which 1 stood was formed on three sides by outhouses and stables on tho fourth, facing me, by tho dwelling house, forming a second court and separated from tho large one by a moat crossed by a drawbridge. This inner court was brilliant with flowers, wasting their s-.voetness sadly, for there was no one now to open the shuttered windows and come down the terrace steps to wonder at their beauty. And I stood under the great limes by tho well and thought of tho days gone by, when tho chateau had been full of life and gayety, and wondered if such times would ever come again.

Presently 1 roused myself, and turning to tho left I went round to tho other side of the house. Tho moat surrounded it only on three sides tho back, or rather the real front, faced a large lako in a far stretching green park. There was a terrace on this side of tho building, too, tho steps leading into a beautiful rose garden. The roses were falling now, but the evening air was laden with their scent, and hero and tlioro was still a perfect flower. The shadows were lengthening over tho water two or throe little islands lay darkly on its surface, the wild luxuriance of tho vegetation pointed, no doubt, to the fact that the place was very damp, but on this August evening it looked warm and sweet enough.

Presently the sun flung a last bright smile to the tall, stately trees, and touched the weathercocks on the old turrets with gold. The sky became tinged with delicate pale green and rose color, tho reflection of .the sunset 1 could not see. For a few minutes the old place was full of soft light, and theu the radiance slowly died away and the twilight carno on apace.

Still I could not bring myself to leave the spot. I had sunk down u]on a moss covered stone among the roses, and was gazing out over tho lako. Vague, dreamy thoughtscamo floating through my brain, and I sat en unconscious of tho passing time.

Suddenly I became awaro that tho light on tho picture before me was changing Mysterious shadows lay upon tho grass on the op posite shorn of the lako. The islands wero floating in a silvery mist. An old txat moored close to me seemed to shino like a fairy skifT, lit for any of those dainty dames of the olden time, of whom 1 had leeu dreaming, to take their pleasure in. Clearer and clearer became tho IWit, more fairy like and bright the scene, and when my own shadow grew out of the ground at my leet 1 turned and, behold, tho great golden moon had clinilted the heavens and was peeping through tho trees to the east. A slight breeze sprang up and rustled their leaves softly They whispered and bent to one another, and the air was full of their sound. In the center of the lake a fish leapt, breaking tho water into a thousand sparkling ripples that eddied to my feet

At last I rose and turned to go, when 1 becamo aware of a startling change in tho appearance of the house. It was no longer dark and deserted. Tho shutters wero thrown open. Lights shono from every casement, and figures passed rapidly to and fro. On tho ground floor the door windows wero wide open on to tho terrace, and a stream of light poured forth from each, mingling with the moonlight. Sounds of music floated out to me. uot the jingling, rapid airs of our modern dunces, but slow and stately measures that brought with them visions of pow dor and patches, rapiers and lace ruffles. Amazed, 1 watched for a little time, and then, curiosity getting tho better of me, I went up tho steps and stood by the center window. Presently I went in. No one seemed to notice me, and I looked on quietly

A long broad hall stretched liel'ore me, evidently going tho whole length of tho building. The floor was highly polished and reflected the light of hundreds of wax candles that hung in clusters against silver sconces on the uak walls. At one end was a musicians' gallery, whence came the sounds 1 had heard. The front of it was lestooued with flowers, and flowers were twined rouud tho frames of tho family portraits on the walls. Thero wero many portraits, of all periods. Knights in armor, dames in high peaked head dresses, gravo statesmen in furred gowns, children playing with dogs and demure maidens in ruffs and farthingales. But my attention SOOR strayed from tho pictures to the figures passing and repassing before ma Tt was evidently a great

and important gathering. The host up pe&rod to bo a tall, portly man, his powdered hair tied with black ribbon, violet satin enibroilfcred coat and flno lace ruffles at throat and wrist. He leant on a gold headed cano and tapped a snuff bos as he talked. There were crowds of courtly men talking to elegant womon, whoso eyes glanced all tho brighter for their powder and rougo. At one end two couples were gliding through a minuet.-vith many a bow and sweeping courtesy A* I grew more accustomed to the brilliant sceue 1 seemed to know instinctively who some of the people were. Those two old dames on tile settee in the corner are kinswomen of the host, and their tougues have uot ceased since 1 camo in. No doubt they are discussing some duuity disb of scandaL That tall, stern man moving about with an air of authority must surely be tho sou and heir.

THE

But there Is a couple that more than all the rent excites my curiosity. The man is small and slight and fair he is dressed in the extreme of fashion, in pale pink satin, with diamond buckles on his shoes. His rapier has a jeweled hilt, and through it Is drawn an embroidered handkerchief. He stands near the top of tho room, and is evidently a guest of importance, for the host pauses now and again to smile and say a few words, which tho young man answers carelessly in a thin, bored voice. His partner is a much more interesting study She is very young—not more than 17—and has a delicate, frigile look. Her hair is piled loosely on the top of her head, and a bluo ribbon runs through it. It is the only bit of color about her. Her white silk sacquo falls in full, graceful folds from her shoulders she holds a drooping cluster of white rosea^in her bands, which nervously arrange and rearrange the flowers, her face is very colorless, and her deep blue eyes have astruined, nervous look. The two do not seem at ease in each othor's company from time to time the gentleman pays the lady a vapid compliment, to which she responds faintly or not at all.

Now thero is a general move toward tho top of the room, and the musicians cease. The company gathers round a square oak table on it are pons, ink and several large sheets of jmpor. A man in plain black garments, evidently a notary, takes a seat. Father and son stand near each other, and on the farther side the young couple who have so in tor

CM ted mo then I see the likeness between tho girl and the two men opposite, and it flashes across my mind that I am assisting at that betrothal scene I had heard of a few days before. The notary begins to read, the document tells of the dower of the bride and tho settlements made by the bridegroom, calling forth many exclamations of wonder and sighs of envy from the assembled guests. The father and sou listen with stern satisfaction the bridegroom pretends to pay no attention the bride, poor little thing, gets paler and more nervous.

Now the reading has com® to an end, and amidst the buzz of conversation the host rises and signs tho papers. The witnesses on his side follow, then tho bridegroom and his witnesses. Tho notary turns to tho bride, and, smiling, offers her the pen. With trembling fingers she takes it, then hesitates. Her great sad eyes are lifted appealingly to her brother, and seeing no hope thero sho looks at her father, and a piteous murmur that is half a sob breaks from her: "Fatlierl" But no softness comes over tho stem face. "It is your turn to sign, my daughter!" is all the response she guts. Despairingly she bends over tho table and her name is added to the rest.

Tho business being over, tho ladies crowd round her with congratulations on the splendid match, and surrounded by them she moves away. Presently she begs thein to leave her by the window. She feels a little faint, she says, but a few moments' quiet will soon put her right, mid they leave her in the deep embrasure. Cnco alone she rises, and, watching her opportunity, slips out into the night. I, too, step through my window, and see her flit across the terrace in the moonlight. At the toot of the steis a man starts out of tho shadow with a low "At last, sweetheart!" and catches the slender figure in his arms for a moment-. Wrapping a large, dark cloak over her white garments ho draws her arm through his and leads her a few steps, when he is stopped by a hand placed suddenly on hi3 shoulder. Turning, ho sees the dark face of his lady's brother.

With a cry the girl starts from Him and flings herself between tho two men. Her brother thrusts hor asido. "Stand back! I have to deal with him, not you!" But she clings to him, and, sinking on hor knees, promises anything if ho will only iet her lover go safe. Ho shakes himself free, and in another moment tho clash of swords brings a wondering crowd to the windows. No one interferes or attempts to go to tho poor child oolding the back of a seat to keep herself upright. Presently a heavy fall and a shriek from tho girl tells what tho end is. The white figure llies to tho prostrate man aiid the little hands try to lift the heavy head. "Kiss me, sweetheart," murmurs tho dying man "1 wish I could have saved you," and then all is still.

For a few minutes uo one moves. The lovers lie as if both, instead of one. were dond, tho guests gaze at them with pale, scared faces, and midway between tho two groups, half way up the stejw, father and son speak in a low whisjor. The moon sheds her calm, silvery light over all, as she would were tho scene slio illumined a happy instead of a most tragic one. Suddenly I seo the girl lift her bead noiselessly she rises to her knees, then to her feet. Tho two men on tho steps notice nothing, so deep are they in their whispered conference. With a swift, stealthy movement sho glides down to tho water's edge, and before her father and brother, warned by a cry from their guests, can stop hor, she has stepped into a light pleasure boat moored there, and has pushed off into the lake. In vain are the cries to hor to return. Sho floats slowly away in tho moonlight, and as a solemn hush comes over the spectators tho sound of a low crooned song comes across the water. Then it stops and tho white figure rises to its feet, a sobbing cry reaches us, and, with lifted arms and upturned face, it sinks—sinks—and disappears. A scream bursts from some one in the crowd—and the figures vanish.

I was sitting alone among the roses, tho old house stood silent and deserted behind me, tho crazy boat was quietly moored at the little landing stage, but tho moon had disappeared and an owl in the trees near by was Bonding forth his melancholy cry on tho still night air. Ixiudou Society.

Rats' Tails.

M. Bert sowed tho tip of tho tail into the bock of tho rat. After it had taken root in its new position ho cut it off close to its original ]oint of insertion. Tho rat now wore a tail reversed in position, tho former tip being tho root. After some time it was found that tho new taU was sensitive. Conclusion—The nerves of sensation can carry Impulses each way. Dr. Koch has recently performed this experiment on forty rats. In thirty cases tho tails united satisfactorily, but never, even eight mouths later, was any sensation present in the new appendage.— Scientific American.

WIND AND BAIN.

NEWARK, N. J.. July 31.—'The most disastrous storm that has visited this vicinity occurred Tuesday afternoon aud evening. In this city cellars were flooded aud sewers burst. Work had to be suspended in the factories in the lower section. A wai.hout occurred on the Morris & Essex railroad at South Orange and trains were delay for many hours In South Orange several buildings.includiug the postotilco were carried away, and Aid barrefe of flour were washed out of one storehouse. In Orange valley the water is up to the second-sco: windows and groat damage has been done to the numerous hat factories there People were compelled to paddle around on planks and to swim in order to get to places of safety on high ground, liloomtieid and Mont.-lair also report great damage t5 property. No lives are known to have been lost.

The greatest alarm prevails around'Millburn. Above it is the Orange water-reser-voir dam. which is not regarded as safe. Should it burst it would overflow Millburn and other small towns along the Rah way river, of which it is tho source, and the damage would reach as far as Iiahway. At 10 o'clock last night the dam was reported all right, but the inhabitants of towns were preparing to move to high irroui.d. Nearly every road in the country is Impassable, ao all the bridges have been wushed away.

PLAINTIELD, N. J., July 31.—The greatest flood over known here came Tuesday aftornoon. At 4 o'clock the dam at Stony Brook, above the Green Valley mills, gave way, carrying with it Coddington's ice houses and many barns and seriously undermining the nulls. A .":-l0 a dam on Green brook, in the heart of the town, also gave way and caused much damage. Many wooden buildings were carried away. Shortly utter o'clock the immense dam at West-field, back of Scotch Plains, collapsed, aud tan additional body of water was thrown into the valley below. Green brook could not contain it and the water rushed licross to Cedar brook and thence through the finest residence portion of Plainfield.

OTTAWA, Out, Aug. 1.—Tho members of the Government do not make any attempt to disguise their sense of tho gravity of tho situation in Behring sea.

WASHINGTON, Aug. I.—The confirmation of the reported seiztrre of the British schoouer Hlack Diamond by the United States revenue cutter Hush Is believed by many to add fresh complications to our relations with Canada. The Treasury officials, who up to this time have exclusive control of the matter, the seizure having been made by officials of the revenue servioe, attach little importance to the seizure, but assert that the law will be rigidly enforced in this case and the captured vessel sold to pay for the violation of the law.

In conversation with a prominent official he said that whatever might have been the policy and feeling of the last administration. it was evident the present Administration did uot look with disfavor upon the seizure of British or other vessels suspected of poaching upon the United Stutes seal-fishing waterB. As to the report that an understanding existed by which the British Government was not to take notice of such seizures he knew nothing. If any such understanding existed he was not aware of it.

The case of the seizure and search of the Triumph, which was afterward released bocause no sealskins wero found on board, this official intimated might be a more serious matter than the seizure and detention of the^Jlack Diamond, for it involved the right of the United States to seiza and se rch suspected vessels outside of what is conceded to be the limits of tho jurisdiction of the United States. This Government, he said, claims that right within a limit not yet acknowl edged by England, and the settlement of the question, after all, is to be one of jurisdiction.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Tlohenor, in a talk with a reporter about the Behring sea seizure, said: -'Officers of the revenue cutter in Behring sea will seize every vessel, American or British, found violating the law. Great Britain claims a right to the fisheries, but Great Britain is in the habit of claiming every thing. All idea of redress or indemnity under the circumstances is absurd The matt-or will be treated us a trespass."

Commissioner of Customs Ilolliday said: "The only trouble is that we have not enough vessels in Behring sea at present to properly defend the fisheries. No me^-of-war, I think, are on duty in Bohrtng sea. If any thing is done by tho English Government it will probably be as an offset to our claim on the Canadian fisheries."

SEIZING BRITISH SEALERS."

The United State lievenne Cutter "Bush* In Pursuit of En) lsU Vniwels—CannUlaoa Indignant.

SAN FBANCIKCO, July 3L—The steames Dora arrived from Behring sea Monday night and brings the first detailed news of the capture of tho British sealer Black Diamond by the United States revenue cutter Richard Rush

On July 11 the Rush overtook the Black Diamond and ordered her to heave to. The captain of the Black Diamond refused to do this, aud the commander of the Rush ordered a lowering of ports and tho running out of guns. The Englishman decided to submit. Captain Sheppard and Lieutenant Turtle boarded tho English craft and asked for her papers. The officers of tho Black Diamond offered no armed resistance, but refused to deliver the Bhip's papers. Captain Sheppard at once broke open the cabin and forced the hinges of the strong box and the captain's chest, thereby securing the papers. A search of tho vessel disclosed IDS sealskins which had been taken in Behring sea. Captain Sheppard plaoed a non-commissioned officer from the Rush in charge of the Black Diamond and ordered the VOBHOI back to Sitka to await further instructions. Tho captain of tho Black Diamond made a statement that when in Victoria he had been ordered to pny no attention in case li£ was overtaken by the Rush and requostlcd to heave to. He said he would not have surrendered if tho Rush had had an inferior force to his own.

On July la tho schoonor Triumph was also boarded by Captain Sheppard, Dut no arrest wa» made, the skins on board having been ensured in the Pacific and not in Behring sea. A passenger who arrived here qn tu steamer Dora said: "On our way down from St. Paul's Island we saw six sealers, and tho Rush was closely in pursuit of them. Undoubtedly by this time she has made additional captures."

OTTAWA, Out., July 31.--A meeting of the Cabinet was called Tuesday to discuss the seizure of the Black Diamond by tho United States revenue cutter Rush. A brief dispatch has been received announcing that the vessel had been seized seventy miles from the nearest, land. A demand will at onoe bo made on the British Government for two war vessels to proceed to Behring's Sea it is said.

The Bonliingists throw tho onus of their defeat on Deputy Turquet, who insisted that General Boulanger contest over 400 cantons. They hold that tho Genera should have become a candidate only in districts where his political strength was sufficient to warrant hope of Buccess.

The Government is more active than ever in the work of getting rid of Boulangist office-holders. Tho mayors of Rennes, Antrain and Treignac, all Boulanglsts, have been ousted.
