The "Fraternity" mine was situated on a x-,T 1 x i:tii ik.i . ucciEja upiiuu, u:ai a lui.u uian tuah i au down from the Cabalio Mountains. It had been taken up in first claim by Loa Howard and Crib Lewi3, two prepossessing man Who came ' out from the Kist," as the phrase ran. Mavgre the fact that the prevailing mining fever made a granite ledge seem scarcely an irrational site for prospect holes, the proprietors were ridiculed no little fox their choice of location daring their'occasional visits, for supplies or other business, to the neighboring mountain towns. It was assumed that they had independent sources of income, since the mine certainly would not yield them the necessaries of life. "She wouldn't buy her own fuse, let alani blasting powder," said one mining sharp, toiiisant. "Sach tenderfeet couldn't locate graveyard for me. They'd better cut their Shaft into three-foot section?, and peddle it to the new telegraph company for post holes." The partners were reticent and self-contained about their business, and bore well the attempted facetiousness of the camp. ' I) At last there waa the inevitable gratified flutter of fulfilled prediction among the prophets when "Crib" Lewis came to make bis abode in town, with the announcement of his partner's departure for their former home. "Loa was not fitted f or rough life like that," he said, in casual explanation. "XjW, if. we had made a tig slake, he might have stayed with it for awhile. But how he did hate this part of the world : All you fellows tnow how often he used to swear ha was going to break off and 'go back to God's country.' I mUs hiia, of course; we've been to gether from the time we could run alone." Howard's absence was regretted less than might have been had not Lewis so freely alluded to his partner's sense of superiority to the section. Thete was no doubt that Lewis, left to himself, changed most unfavorably. He coarsened and roughened day by day, and settled through lower and lower social vStiata, until the most depraved and vicious of the camp were his chosen associates in the wild dabuauches for which, without labor, te bad always ample funds. It was at this time that my father, coming heme to our late dinner, announced the arrival on the evening coach of a fellow Califor Li an and old-time neighbor of our family. ' Mr. Walter made one or two brief expeditions into the outlying region, and then quietly stated to us the conclusion of negotiations by which the "Fraternity" mine became the property of a wealthy California company, aa whose agent or friend had come hither. The terms of the sale were so considerable as to give the transaction an importance beyond any other that had taken place in the district for a twelve month past. Therefore Mr. Walter, apprehending a rash of claimants to "the extension," thought it expedient to fix accurately the Boundaries of the original mice before knowledge of the unexpected purchase should generally transpire. For this purpose the expert, my father and a young surveyor, prepared to drive out to the mine; and Mr. Walter, with whom I was a favorite, suggested that I l should make the fourth in the carriage. We made a late start, and, driving easily the thirty-odd miles, we reached the mine a little before eight It was not too late to view the place certainly as little as well m'2ht be like any perconceived idea of a valuable mine. A little draw running down from the low mountains, a league away, " with only an occasional scrubby tree dotting lis ai id border. A small tent on tne slope near the run, and some rods distant half-way np the incline of the mound-like hill, a primitive windlass, in no wise different, save in pcint of massiveness, from the apparatus at the well in many an old-fashioned farmyard. "And this is the mine that has coat Scott, Reynolds & Burke inch a preposterous sutn, on the strength of your verdict!" I cried, picking up a bit of the glistening white rock, almost white as marble, that salted the earth, "I wer der, Mr. Walter, that you dare assume eich responsibility. This is certainly unlike any ore-bearing rock that I have teen; yet I flatter myself that I have grown quite a connoisseur." "That is the phenomenal peculiarity of the mine the surface indications are so slJght. Yet yon can find a certain amount of silver float among this beautiful, worthless stuff. The fact remains that the lead is almost virgin silver, as you shall see tomorrow. I have traced it far into the extension by a well defined line of minor shafts you see the dumps marking their situation. Only the baldest luck cr actual clairvoyance can explain their strike. It was enly satisfaction of my own senses that reassured me of the actual value of the mine, for Lewis' eagerness to sell was auspicious, as was his extreme anxiety to keep our negotiations secret in town yonder. Well, I suppose te feels disgraced by his disdpatlon there, and the fieure he gets is big ensugb. to gatisfy any man." "Something crookeJ," commented my father, who Is of an analytical tHrn of mind, er d cot orer fell ot faith in bis kind. Mf. Walter Ianshed. ' Straight enough so far as our ownership is concerned. We'll tee what color the bird in the bush proves to be " What provision have you against How aid's claim?" my father asked dubiously. "Oh, that's all rieht. Lewis holds power Cf attorney, and Howard Signatare to a

deed with blanks for the parties of tn second part. They were executed, he admits, at a time when Howard was abont goinr home in disgust, before they struck this rich lead of 'wire-silver.' It was never canceled and is perftctly valid now.1' I i We retired for the night. A bed was made for me within the carriage, with its movable cushiens. and ray father spread his blanket between the wheels. I heard him speaking to our companions after I had settled to repose.

"A band of Apache may have looked in and left their blood curdling taint on the atmosphere," my father jeered, "rney were Been through here a few weeks a?o. Walter, you grow more fantastic and metaphysical every year. We'll have you tipping tables and materialhing very soon." "But I am not to blame," said Alfred Walter, simply and without temper, "that I am oversusceptible to certain prychio influences, any more than a man is culpable who gets bronchitis in a Texas norther; and now I think it, this is the first night I have been on the ground. On each of our three visits here, Lewis found something to take us across the divide to Salvador, and we slept there," "Oh, do doubt, Lewis has even more than the average Lastern man's esteem far his own scalp, and a mile above here, there used to be a favorite Indian trail.

The child is fond of her nap. Good night" My Isst waking consciousness was of anmrement at my father's cavalier dealing with Mr. Walter, and a mild wonder at the patience with which that gentleman sustained patent reflections against his courage. Then an indefinite period of deep, dreamless sleep before I awakened, starting, shuddering with the horror of what was it? The lngubrions, long-drawn howl of a pack of wolves, drawn hither by the scent of our feed? But in this section even the skulking coyote was rare in the extreme. Was it, then, the despairing cry of a wayfarer, belated, wno had fallen upon some unknown peril, cr Lad a band of marauding Apaches slipped down upon us to make an unaccus tomed night attack . "Ysadoi!" my father softly cilled, as I cocked my ready revolver for oa the frontier a woman leams the duty of selfdefense. In another moment we were grouped beneath the carriage, preparing as we could for what nitebt come. The long rifles rested across the wheel spokes, and the reserve pis tols lav close at hand. io sight, no I artner sound. The night was opaquely dark. "Ihe horses!

He clipped among a again, calm and wary. "Cub and Baby arc there," to caid, "bat tremblinc to their hoofs. They scent mis chief "Look at the mine!" cried Alfred waiter, thrilling. From the mouth of the shatt streamed up ward what? a luminous mist, a purely phosphorescent cloud, electric, glowing, vajue and dim, bat unmistakable. It increased in volume and It deepened in density, hanging an amorphous body cf cold incandescence in relief against the gloom. Then began a distinct movement among it3 particles. Gradually the mysterious substance densifled about its center. With many a wavering expression and contraction, an outline sbatcd itself within the cloud shaped iteelf, apparently materialized, and stood forth, the head and shoulders of a singularly handsome man, whose mournful eyes looked toward U3, over us, through us to tue tent of the "Fraternity" partners, on the edge of the drta We "Good Heavens:" cried Harvey Hande, "it s Lcn Howard!" "But look!" said Alfred Walter; "see how the clouds are moving!" The central apparition resolved itself again into luminous mist, and the nebula swung forward, floating tremulously down the hillside toward us and the tent. It kept its shapeless thape no briefest minute. Now it streamed up through the night, like the mounting Came from some pyre; now it epread flatly, like a great bird stooping with pinions wide outspread; a?ain it rolled. globuTar in form and notion, or whirled fnnocsly, as it driven be a mighty tale. The edges of the serial mass swept so near us in its passage, that we crouching there before the mystery, felt ourselves drawn forward with it, for through us, in its neighborhood, ran an electric thrill, acut to painfulness, yet with a curious sense of exalta tion and attraction. "It is gone!" "It is not eoce." said Alfred Waller: "it has entered the tent" We had left the door flaps of th9 tent thrown back, relying on the dryness of the season, and through the opening we could see the whole interior, illumined by that strange, unearthly glow. And yet not the faintest gleam pierced the thin canvass wai.'s. Save at its entrance the tent was not to be distinguished from the nieht without. Gazing into that narrow space, we four who watched that night taw developed a drama such as was never seen of mortal eyes before. i o c yt iub ucap ui luois Wimm, tu?

The form of a man was oulttretched on the bed. lie stirred, he turned in his sleep and rose upon one arm to loek about him and gaze out Into the night; and, seeming reassured, sank back arrnin to rest Then another tall shape appeared at the tent door, rille in hand, as if seeping guard. He bent to near the sleepers breathing. Seemingly tatisfied of the other's uncon sciousness, the newcomer went close beüde him. pnt the muzzle of his gun against the head of the sleeping man and fired. Oa, the gtastly sight, In place of manly beauty, when the curling smoke had cleared away! The murderer set aside bis gun; hs closely rolled bi3 dead comrade in the blankets and dragged aside the stiffening body. He carried without all the etores and bed, and where the cot bad stood be dug a deep and nsrrcw grave and laid tne aeana man in it, packing and treading the cold earth over his senseless clay. Then, with delibera'e ingenuity, he spaded overall the floor of the tent until it presented a uniform surface. The stores, the barrels, the tools, were care fully replaced, and, last of all, the assassin set up the bed again in its accustomed stand. Bet the consummation of brutal indifference was reached when Lewis coolly stretched himself upon that empty couch above the blocdy grave where lay his victim. Hs lay, and seemed to sleep; and again the splendid head and mournful eyes of bis old-time friend took eh ape in the air, and bent above the tlajer. Lewis sprang up with a wild, ringiDg cry, that rang through the night with awful power, and dashed into the darknees. No need to question longer what had roused ns from slumber; the same alarm swept over us now, ths tame engorje 1 brain oenressed. the tame depleted heart chanrels, the same wavering, failing msmbers disticseeo. The epell was broken. How long we had been watching we could never know, bat we must have sle&t until the nizht was far ad vanced, and dawn had not yet come. The Bcer.ea we bad jost witnessed would have occupied hours in their actual occurrenje; whereas they bid been compreaaed into a brief period of time by some subtle process anaiagOUS to us swui operauua ul utau.

Shocked and stunned, we had not moved when Alfred "Waiter spoke: "This is more than mere hallucination. There in purpose ia it. The manifestation is beginning again. Look at the mine:' Beyond a doubt, there was some repetitive power here some purpose of regularity ia recurrence; for we watched the phenomenon until it had reached the stage of locomotion. Then Alfred Walter stood up with a depdrawn breath.

I Albany Special to Philadelphia Times. Here it is regarded as settled that Governor Cleveland is the next President, and already tne gossips are busy witn coniecturea as to who will be the lady of the White House. There is a well defined belief among his friends that there is a young lady in W estern New York who will soon be led to the altar by the President-elect. Others who have known him long and well say that he will never marry and that this talk simply comes of the fact that he has shown this vounswoman Eome slight attentions since he was elected Governor. Larly in life his hopes and am bitions for a wife were crushed by the hand of death, and his affection for the lost one has kept him treadicg tho wine press of bis life alone. II tne reports that he is to marry Are not trne, then his own immediately family will furnish a lady to do the social hon ors cf his administration. It Is generally believed by those who knew him best that there will be l?s feiti Vitus during his term of office thai there have been for many years past He has been a bard working Governor, and will probably continue bis industrious habits as lret.ident Bachelor as he is, the White House will, however, have a creditable mistress There are four ladies in bis immediate family, either of whom can well do the honors of the household. His eldest sister in this country, Mrs. W. E Hoyt, of Favettesvllle, would fill any position with credit. Baa i a middle-aged lady of pleasing address, who hai spent a good deal of time-at the Executive Mansion here since her brother has been Governor.

Cleveland is the maiden sister. She still resides in the little home cottag9 at Holland ratent, inst above Luca. A good public speaker, a quick conversationalist, and generally a plain woman of intel lectual force, she would do her share in entertaining her brother's guests at the National Capital. Mr. Cleveland has a sister who for twenty years has been a missiorary at Ceylon. She has two charming young lady daughters, Mary and Carrie Hastings, whom the Governor has been for years educating in this country. He has giyen tbem every advantage and they have improved them.

With Mrs. Hoyt or anyone of the three other ladies spoken of, the social end of the first Democratic administration for a quarter of a century will be well sustained, even should the President-elect continue a bachelor.

The returns came in slowly, and the Blaine "estimatea" based on the presumed effectiveness of a vast corruption fund raised at the Cjuldüiaine dinner and in the Union Leazae Club in the last week of the canvass for im mediate use were all, of course, in their own favor. But the actual returns a3 they came in proved those "estimates" wrong. v uai uappeueu : By Friday morning the returns were in. and two men. who more thaa all others in this country have the habit of getting the earliest correct news of all important matters and the facilities for getting it these two men. Jay Gould and William H. Yanderbilt, bad got the correct news, and hast ened to congratu'ate President-elect Cleveland. Mr. Gould was the earliest, for he telegraphed President Cleveland his congrat ulations. Mr. V anderbiit, more deliberate, wrote the Presidentelect and wrote him an admirable letter. too. On the same day, Friday we wish our readers to note the day the Republican Committee telegraphed Mr. Blaine that Cleveland had carried New York. At the same time Friday morning the Tribune hauled down bis flag and ceased to put out bulletins. That same Fr'day afternoon the Albany Evening Journal, one of the strongest Blaine journals outside of Netv York, and placad at the point to which omcial returns are brought said: Indiana has undoubtedly cone Democratic, aad the reports ot a Kepublican victory in West Virginia and Fiord la are not substantiated. It seems clear that Gove: nor Cleveland is elected, for the States that have gone Democratic have 219 electoral votes. Every hone.t citizen and newspaper desires slmpl that the vote shall be falriy counted and tbc results declared as the vote was cst. The Journal', claims of Mr. Blaine election were bused on the reports obtained on Wednesday and Thursday. Te day, when the oSicial returns remove all doubt, it frankly acknowledges defeat But no sooner had Blaine received the news that he was beaten, and that his own supporters were actually acknowledging his defeat, as good citizens ought, then he telegraphed from Augusta his determination to try a bit of Mexican tactics. Note the language othis pronunciamento: I am advised there have beeu frauds in New Yoik State. 1 believe that the houest vote of the State elves a Republican plarality. and I ask the commutes to see that we have a 'air and houcst count. It i3 all I. I, I. Blaine had been notified bv the committee that the State hau gone Democratic; he wa3 notsnre that he could stir thero up to support his Mexicanizing po!iy, and so, though Mr." Gould and MrVanderbilt, the two men most sure to have correct news, were convinced; though ths Albany Lvenlng Journal, his vigorous supporter. had written that ' to-day, when ths otfiial returns remove all doubt," the Journal ' frankly acknowledge? defeat:" though his own committee had telegraphed him that the State was for Cleveland, Uialne retard to accept the facts and impudently teleeiapbed, "I believe there have been frauds; I believe that the honest vote gives New York to the Republicans." Everybody knows main e s boundless au dacity. He cares nothing for right, nothing for truth. On that very day Friday he made at Augusta what is psrhapa the moat shameless utterance of which au American public man ever was guilty: I feel treat pride that no imputation of fraud bss ever been eriouly uttered against the members of the Kepublican parly in any State or district. B.aine is tempting his followers to revolu tion. He has given notice that he Is ready to Mexicanlzo this country if he can get anybody to stand by him. He helped to steal the Presidency in 1S70; he was part of the Dorsey "soap and new bill" campaign in 1S80, and took the State Department as his reward. And he now appeals to his fol lowers to help him in a still more desperate step. We believe that this bold, bad man, con victed lobbyist, convicted corruptlonist, convicted ally of Star-route and navy thieves, convicted falsifier, convicted ignoramus in all true statesmanship, convicted trickster and political gambler, will fail in this last attempt at fraud and revolution. He can not grab the Presidency, because the people are looking at him. the Ittg Four. New York Special, Nov. 1?. Clint Wheeler. Johnny O'Brien. Birney Biglin and bob McCord. "the big four" of the Republican machine, were at the Victoria Ilotel to-night dttcutsing ouster and wine when the political report r for a Democratic paper joined them. Johr ny O'Brien was in a talking mood, but not for riibUcation in this city. "You fellers have got tho State," he said to the reporter, "and I don't know what Eikioa and the other silk stockings are kicking about What does Elkins know about running a campaign? Just wait until this thing is tettled, and then come to me. I'll sire you a talk that'll raise hair. Why, Elkins and his party rave ns 1W,C00 to rua this city wita. Itinkofit!

Poor Blaice! I could te'.l him something about that committee that would give him congestive chills." Clint Wheeler smiled, Barney Biglin nodde his head, and Bob McCord p illed his mustache. They all have töeir stories to tell, and want to get rid of them, but they are waiting for the oUiclal count After the Gailty Ones. New York Speelal 1 A Jarge mass of evidence relating to frauds of various kinds which were perpetrated on November 4 was submitted to the Grand Jury to-day, and before the adjournment, which took place at 1:30, indictments bad been ordered against several persons, one of them, it was rumored, being an official connected with the bureau of elections, who recently ran foul of a committee of lawyers who went to police headquarters in the interest of the Democratic State Committee to examine the returns filed in Mr, John J. O'Brien's office. The names of the persons indicted, who still enjoy their liberty, were denied. During tho afternoon one of the blank forma Died ia the district attorney's

This will explain why nothing except rose colored views of Mr. BlaincV physical conditioa are sent bv the Associated' Press. Whea it is taken into consideration that the editor of the Kennebec Journal, which is also the Republican State paper, is the local agent of the Associated Piess, it will be seen what great precautions Mr. Bhtine has taken to have nothing sent by the Associated Pres3 which does not emanate directly from himself, and will also explain the very diverse statements sent by regular and special correspondents concerning Mr. Blaine and his movements, and those seni" by the Associated Press." Result of a Consultation. New York Sun.l "Have you a revised copy of the New Testament in the library, Miss Smith?" asked the yonng minister who was making an evening call, partly parochial and partly otherwise. "No, Mr. Longprayer," she replied, "I regret to say that we haven't" . "What's a revised copy?" asked Bobby, who had been permitted to sit up beyond his usual hour. "You are rather young vet, Bjbby, to understand such matters," said hii sister, kindly. "A revised copy means that certain I changes have been made in the Bible that were considered necessary to a better understanding of the text Now you had better ron off to bed, that's a good boy." The young minister could scarcely conceal bis admiration. "Well, if that's what it is," said Bobby, "our family Bible is revissd, 'caoss pa changed it the other day. He scratched out the date of your birth, and made it three years later. He told ma something about you and tue minister, and said that it wouldn't do any harm nohow, and if ever Mr. Longprayer wanted to look at it it might do a good deal ot good." Presently the minister went away, and a i family consultation was held. It resulted in Bobby's passing a sleepless night oa the pit of his stomach, j G. W. Llsdo.cist, one of the survivors of the rolaria expedition, declares that no Arc tic voyager need expect to be made a hero of very long after his return. He hrids a milter's certificate and was once toasted from town to town, but now, as he laughingly almits, is able to find no better position than quartermaster on a coasting steamer. "Frozen facta" is a purely American expression, and one, too, of recent origin. It las the merit of attracting attention, and 8lso seems to bear truthfulness on its face. We make room in our issue of to day for a fact of this character. A correspondent Henry Whiting, Esq.. of Boston, Mass , says: "Dr. II. V. Pierce's 'Golden Medical Discovery' has cured my son of a fever sore of two years' standing. Please accept our gratitude." We believe it to be a fact, whether "frozen" or otherwise, that America needs more men like Mr. Whiting; men who act, men who investigate truths and seize opportunities. .
