A GHOST STORY.

A Shadow and a Groan in the '-('are of Hit* Winds."

A correspondent of the New \ork World tells the following, writing from N iagara:

It is a genuine ghost story that I am about to relate to you. It has been kept rather quiet here, but. the incident occurred nevertheless. Von probably ai aware of the whereabouts and nature of the celbrated Cave of the Winds. coarse vou are, for nobody ever heard ol the Falls without having- beard of this wonderful cave, anil nobody ever visited Niagara without being urged by their friends to make the descent into the Cave of the Winds. This descent is about as inevitable here as is the ascent of Trinity spire in New York. It is a leat that has got to be done, whether you feel like it or not.

Well, as 1 was about to relate, one afternoon not long since a couple of young men started oil' to pay homage to this aquatic grotto. They left the hotel late in the alternoon, and arrived back again shortly after dusk, and it was not until alter tea that they divulged the following account of their amphibious trip. They told it to but a few, and wished nothing further said of the singular incident until they had been down a second time to either dispel or corroborate their story. Being old hands at that sort of thing, they had made the trip without a guide, and they claim upon entering the cave they saw a shadow, in the form of a man, tlit across the dark intciior. Owing to tlieir uncertain footing,they were unable to concentrate their gaze in one direction long enough to discern any object, and therefore passed through and out around in front of the falls. I'pon reaching the open air, and while standing on the lit tl wooden bridge facing the immense sheet ot' water, both of them heard, o-- thought they heard, a suppressed moan behind the falls, and, to assure themselves that no human being was on the spot, they quickly retraced their steps, and again entered the cave. No sooner had the cloud of darkness enveloped them than they again saw the figure. It seemed to arise from the bottom of the interior of the cave, aiul then move slowly across their path,and disappear through the tailing waters, and at the same time another groan more distinct than the first was heard. Not stopping to listen or to look, however, the young adventurers mailt.* all haste toget out of the cave and up to a more firm foot path than, the slippery rocks. When they reached the top of staircase they ascertained that no one had descended since themseves, and that there was nobody down there when they started, -otheir shadow could not very well have been solid substance. It was certainly a "phantasy ot the miml" of some kind.

Further developments, however, are looked for before we shall settle down to the belief that the place is haunted Inspirits of another world.

A cable dispatch announces that the Sultan of Turkey has ordered a supply of the Gatling gnn for the Ottoman army. The French Mirailleur is a poor imitation of our Indianapolis invention.

Now we know, and so does the Journal, that this statement is entirely correct and reliable. Were it otherwise, it would be an eusy matter to show wherein it was erroneous and we call upon VOOKHEES

and the Journal either to admit their guilt or to demonstrate, by oflicial figures, that we are wrong. If Mr. VOORHEKS is willing to place himself before the c-oun-tr" as the coiner and utterer of a falsehood as mean as it is puerile and silly and if the Journal is ready to play second liddle to its Patron in so contemptible a business, let their, go on in their present course. But if they desire to avoid iini' versal contempt, let them admit tie accuracv of our statement, or .-diuw wherein it is inaccurate. No public man who values his reputation, and no journal with any character to risk, will dare to neglect this challenge. VOORHEES and the Journal on one side, or Secretary BOCTWKI.I. and the EXPRESS on the other side, tell a deliberate, huge LI 10. We claim that Boi'TWELL and the EXPRESS tell the truth, and we present our evi

dence, from ollicial reports, in black and white, thus placing the LIE on the side of the Congressman and his organ, and defying them to remove the brand. Now then, swallow the lie between you, or ''come to time" with your figures.

W. I'.. Vi' Ki:t:s is writing a series of articles for his paper, the Indianapolis Mirror, on "The Poets and Poetry of Indiana." If lie should run out ot material, we shall be able to furnish him I he addresses of not less than fifty Indiana people. all of whom are splendid poets—in their own estimation.

A WRITER in the Cincinnati Commercial savs: "The leaders of the Republican party of Indiana have strong ground to occupy on the State debt and the general administration of local affairs. They have a strong ground to occupy in regard to the honest collection and proper application of the United State- revenues since the accession of President Grant. They have strong ground to occupy on the Funding Bill and the rapid rate at which thev are paying the National debt. They have strong ground to occupy on the reconstruction measures and the l'ilteenth Amendment. From these grounds they mav move to the attack with almost perfect assurance of vietorv."

"TOWN TAI.K," in the Indianapolis Mirror, makes these sensible remarks: The meagre attendance upon the editorial excursion of our State Association impels T. T. to again remark upon the growing disposition of our editorial friends to avoid "dead head" arrangements and free blows generally to pay their way like other gentlemen, and to have other gentlemen pay for their "pufis" or do without. This is as it should be. There are few eases in which editorial courtesies—so called—are extended and received with profit, or even satisfaction. Railroad passes are well enough when properly bestowed, but railroad men will tell you that they are harrassed most for passes by those having the least claim upon them, and so it is with tickets of admission to theaters, concerts, etc. But while it may be proper for an editor in person—not bv deputy to ride free over a line of railroad, and equally proper for a reporter to visit a theatre without cost, there is no shadow of propriety in the abuses of these privileges. or in the notorious sponging of hats, clothing, cigars, drinks, etc., which formerly di-graced the profession. Editors mav not have the moral courage to refuse such favors when tendered, but they will find a hearty satisfaction in paying for theiu generally.

I SEVERAL young ladies, in Tipton county, are assisting their fathers in the field, while their noble brothers are devoting

their attention to '"our national game."

MESSRS. EVANS, COBB AND MALOTT, in behalf of Philip and John R. Cruse, have instituted legal proceedings to re-

hooting cover certain real estate of the value of 1 S20,000 bequeathed by Joseph Cruse to Charity Lodge No. 30, F. A. M., of Washington, Daviess county. The ca^e is pending in the CircuiL Court.

THE daughter of a 'worthy farmer named Holcomb, residing in Miami county, has, or had, a very injudicious

lover, who climbed into the young lady's chamber, the other night, and got an "awful whaling" from the male members of the family, summoned bv the screams of the imperiled damsel.

A L-OOR DEVIL, in Corydon, the oilieidav, robbed his wife's bureau of her underclothing and sold it to a meaner "cuss" than himself for whisky. Having got "gloriously drunk," he went home and thrashed his wife because he found her crying. How inscrutible appear the ways of Providence when such creatures are permitted to eat food, while a single "yaller" dog goes hungry!

Additional City News.

As THE Vandalia train from St. Louis crossed the bridge this morning at one o'clock, a man was discovered lying on the track sound asleep. Before the train could be stopped he was knocked off by the cow-catcher, and bruised and bloodied considerably. He was able to stand up when reached, but the full extent of his injuries was not ascertained.

SEW YORK.

THE MISSION OP GENERAL SHERIDAN. NEW YORK Aug. 8.—A special dispatch says that the President, after consulting with Gen. Sherman on Friday last took occasion to forward to Gen. Sheridan several official documents,which in reality places him in the position ot a representative of the President as commander in chief of our Army and Navy. He also sent some telegraph messages on the subject to Ministers Bancroft and Washbnrne, and to Gen. Sheridan. There is no doubt in the mind of Gen. Sherman that Gen. Sheridan will be admitted to the head-quarters of the French and Prussians, and treated with all proper courtesy. He says that Dr. Evans|had no right to make any request of the French authorities for Gen. Sheridan, and that when our ministers requested it there will be no refusal.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S'. Secretary Robeson has addressed a letter to Mr. Seward, at Auburn, saying that having learned from Secretary Fish, that he (Seward) proposed to visit Asiatic countries, he would take the liberty of tendering to him the use of any of the lTrited States naval vessels in port or waters where he proposed to go. The Secretary has given in detail the names and localities now or contemplated distinction of various vessels, and names of their commanders, and informs Secretary Seward that he has issued orders to all of the officers, to extend to him all facilities and courtesies within their pow

er, and concludes his letter by saying, "1 am sure they will be happy to do any

.. ... ,, thing in their power for a .gentleman so is not the slightest doubt that Gen. Luf- ^jstingnished, but I have thought pro[er iiniere wil be compelled to evacuate in justice to yourself and the country

place the proper orders in shape." Seward will be received at San Francisco by one of the fleet vessels, and thenceforth

be carried in one or otherfof them durintr his entire absence. It is cxpected he will be absent until next Spring. In the meantime it is understood thai he will address unofficial letters to the Secretary of State and Secretary of the Navy,

Seward will also do all in his power to arrange with Oriental merchants a through line of Jlirst-class steamships from Yeddo and Hong Kong to San Francisco, and the Chinese emigration question will be sifted by him, and Chinese authorities induced not to allow any more women to emigrate to California from Hong Kong.
