passed

the place

at a rapid walk straight down the broad, new street, toward the hated house of ghosts. The din was terrific. She saw little Vfbite at the bead of the rabble brandishing his arms and trying in vain to make himself heard but they only shook their heads, laughing and hooting the louder, and so passed, bearing him on before them.

SwiMy they pass out from among the houses, away from the dim oUJatngs of

fail and their owners lag behind and turn back, suddenly remembering how near morning it is. But the most part push on, tearing the air with their elamor.

Down ahead of them in the long, thicket-darkened way there is—singularly enough—a faint, dancing light. It must be very near the old house it is. It has stopped now. It is a lantern, and is under a well-known sapling which has grown up on tho vrayslao since the canal was filled. Now it swings mysteriously to and fro. A goodly number of the more ghost-fearing give up the sport but a full hundred move forward at a run, doubling their devilish howling and banging.

Yes, it is a lantern, and tnere are two (tenons under tho tree. The crowd draws near—drop into a walk one of the two is the old African mute he lifts the lantern up so that it shines on the other the crowd recoils there Is a hush of all the clangor, and all at once, with a cry of mingled fright and horror irpm «very throat, the whole throng rushes Ciaek, dropping ^everything, sweeping past little White and hurrying on, never stopping until the jungle Is left behind, ana tlien to find that not one in ten has Keen the cause of the stampede, and net one of the tenth Is certain what it was.

There Is one huge fellow among them who looks capable of any villainy. He tinds something to mount on, and, in the Creole patois, calls a general holt. Bienvenu sinks down, and, vainly trying to recline gracefully, resigns the leadership. The herd gather round the speaker he assures them that they have t*sen outraged. Their right peaceably to traverse the public streets has been trampled upon. Shall such encroachments be endured It is now daybreak. Let them go now by the open light of day and force a free passage of the pubLie highway I

A scattering consont WBB the response, and the crowd, thinned now and drowsy, straggled quietly down towaed the old house. Some pressed ahead, others sauntered behind, out every one, as he again neared the tree, came to a stand-still. Little White sat upon a bank turf on the opposite side the way looking very stern and sad. To esch new-comer he put the same question:

Did you come here to go to old ltquelhvs?" "Yes."

He's doad. And ir the shocked hoarer started away he, would say:

want you to go to the funeral prosently." If some Louisianlan, too loyal to dear Prance or Spain to understand Euglish, looked bewildered, some one would interpret for him and presently they went. Little Whito lod tho van, the crowd trooping after him down the middle of tho way. The gate, that never had been seen before unchained, ww open. 8tom little White stopped a short distance from it tho rabblo stopped behind. Something was moving out from uudor the reranoa, The many whisperers stretched upward to see. The African mute came very slowly toward the gate leading bv a cord in tho nose a small brown bull, which was harnessed to a rtido cart. On tho fiat body of tho cart, (inter a black cloth, were seen the outlines of along box.

Hats oiT, gentlemen," said little White, as the box came in view, and the crowd silently uncovorod.

Gentlemen," said,little White, "here come the last remains of Jean Marie Poquelln, abetter man. I'm afraid, with nil his sins, than any of you will ever lie.

There was a profound hush as the vehicle came creaking through the gate hut when it tnrned away from them toward the forest, those in front started suddenly. There was ti backward rush, then all stood still again staring one way for thero, behind the bier, with oves cast down and labored step, \v.\lkeil the living remains—all that was loft -^of little Jacques Poqueliu, the longhidden brother—-a leper, as white ai snow.

Dumb with horror,the cringing crowd iftuod upon the walking death. They watchsd.lnslent awe, the slow cortege reep down tho long, straight rood and lessen on the view, until Dy and by it stopped where a wild, unfrequented path branched off Into the undergrowth toward the rear of the ancient city.

Ther are going to the TVrre ««x Ley'wt" sal* one in tho crowd. Tho rest u*atchpd them in silence.

The little bull was set free the mute lifted tho long bo* to hH shonlder. For a moment more the mute and the leper •.toed in sight, while the former adjust4d his heavy burden then, without one l«okward glance upon the unkinn heman world, tuming their fhees toward the ridge lu tho depths of the swamp known as the Leper's Land, they wtopped Into the juugle and disappeared.

O ESS I TCRS'KR DISCOUNTED. (From the W«)doo (N. C.) Sentinel.) A remarkable case of somnambulism occurred at Murfhwaboro a ft»w evenings si nee. One of the young lady students of the \V. F. college during the night got up fn her bod, threw over herself a loose wrapper and started down town. She went into Colonel Vaughn's residence, and Into his room and laid on a lounge.

'a Novel Subject for an JSnterpriifng Interview.

The foItdlHiigls from Reading Bagls "intenriew" In a majority of instances we are ordered to get the material at the atoras and make the death dresses. We use different materiaL I have made a shroud of white satin that east nearly fifty dollars. Ordinarily they are made out of white merino or white cashmere, faced with repped or stamped satin, that is, figured diamond shaped. This satin is used for facing fronts. Then the shrouds are lined witn muslin, trimmed with white gimp and a white cord and tassel generally goes with it. White ribbon

style, are they not?" was next Well, yes, we seldom dress men in white shtouds. Their coffin wardrobes are either their citixens dress if black, or it is a shroud mad© out of black satin

For my part I like to see a man dressed in a black silk shroud. It is natural Sor but laving

us to approve of shrouds, aside all business affairs, am ot mo opinion that all dead bodies should be dreined in shrouds, and for men nothing ——?riate than bla silk. little expensive, but the difference is not much." r,

One time I knew of a young woman that was buried in her wedding dress, but it would not do to mention names. She died two years after her marriage, and when she was dead she was dressed Just the same as the day when she was united to herhusbaud in the holy bonds of wedlock. Orange blossoms and flowers were entwined in her balr, and she looked like a bride. The husband nearly broke his heart over her coffin. „,»T

ORTHOGRAPHICAL.

The battle of Lexicoq i^. Jh® begt name yet given it. All New York stumbled on "labyrinth" and went down on "desuetude."

As a general thing spellers are making retchea work of "ipecacuanha." Questions of the day—One or* ftfro? 2,'s or oT able or ibie? in or out?

At a Kingston spelling match a modest chap sat dowu rather than spell "ankle" before so many ladies.

In spelling words like "perceive" and "relieve,"it should be remembered that i4i" follows*44!,"and "e" follows "c."

A printer, hard of hearing, at a spelling match the other evening asked tho captain to "write the darned word down so a fellow can tell what't is." "Cerisas,"

ptysmagog," "tachy-

graphy," giaour," "tael "eyot," °flonus," "eucbamy" and "demoniacal" played smash with a late Boston spelling match.

At a spelling match iu Huntington. Pa., the other evening, ex Senator Scott was unable to spell ''phthisic," and exRepresentative Blair and Speer failed on tho word "chrysolite."

We fkil to see that orthographical excellence is of such value in this country as claimed. The president of a Cheboygan bank couldn't spell "bilious," while a Waukesha editor who takes wood on subscription spelled down the entire county*—[Milwaukee Sentinel.

Bill Smikes came home mellow the other night, and when his wife asked what ailed him he said he had been to

How should women be dressed In white shrouds all the time, particularly old women and young chilhren. I have seen them dressed in their best clothes, however, and one time buried a woman dressed in a black ailk velvet wrapper, as they called it. Sometimes people when they die want to be bsried in their wedding dresses. I know of two cases of this kind but their wedding dresses of satin were put under their shrouds.

MR. EEC HER ON DEATH [From a recent sermon.] •'And what Is doath?" asked Mr. Beecher, his eyes filling with tears anu his voice trembling. "Falling asleep in Josus I Toothache causes far more suffering, neuralgia immeasurably more. It is no more pain than is felt by a bird spreading its wings and rising into the air and the sunshine. Parting life is like the ripe apple hanging to the bough. The dew of the night is sufficient to dislodge it and It drops to the ground. Death, except in rare cases, brings no suffering.

CINCINNATI, O., NOV. 26, 1874.

MESSRS. W. N. HEMES A Co., Qentlemen—Through your agents, Messrs. H. L. Stiles & Co., we were persuaded to try your Champion Baking Powder, and having been using It for some months past we can cheerfully recommend it as being of superior quality. Our cook pronounces it to be more economical in use than others used by us, and we have used many of the so-called best brands.

We find after an impartial trial that the Champion excels, oonseqnently would advise aU persons wanting a Baking Powder that 1s folly up to the standard not only hi quality, but in quantity, to try Hedges' Cham Baking Powder. RwpectfMly,

ipion

Gentlemen—A month or so ago I was in Springfield visiting a Qriend, and noticing the wonderful suocess tbs had in baking, led me to Inquire into her xrtode of baking. She stemod to think one reason she sucoceded so well wss bccauso she used your Cluunplon Baking Powder, and in addition to this, she lauded it so highly that since I uame homo I have been trying to persuade one of our grocery men to send and get some, but as yet have not succeeded. Please send one pound to my address, and if you have any Receipt Books oblige me by enclosing one of them as I want to follow your directions closely when baking. Respeotftilly,
