ELDEB'8 GHOST.

A. Veracious toner's Story—A Stag-Dnver Smells Blood in the Air—His Horses Stop—He Feels a Gold Hand

Passed Over His Pace— Wind and Fog.

There is a lonely spot in the Gunnison country not yet penetrated by railroads, but through which a stage passes at stated intervals. Stage drivers dislike to travel through the place at night, for they claim that the horses suddenly stop before a ravine in which stand the ruins of a burned cabin. The Denver

News

says that nothing in the

shape of ghost or unnatural appearance has ever been seen to warn or frighten the beasts or the traveler, but a sense •f something uncanny seems to lie around the spot, as if

Over all there hangs a cloud of fear A senae of mystery the »ptrit daunted, AnJ said, as plain as whispered to the car,

The place is haunted. An old stage driver named Sam Eckefelt gives the following explanation of the feeling that affects the traveler. Ho •ays that for the few years that a stage line has traversed the spat the same phenomena have been observable at nightfall. The night may be as still as the heart of the dead, but whenever the stage draws near the spot a sudden whirlwind springs up and a dense fog seems to settle over nature. The horses always stop, and it is with the greatest difficulty that they can be induced to start again. The sense of something near one, unseen but partly felt, comes to the mind. What this something is it seems impossible to determine. Sometimes it seems as if a cold hand passed over the face of the one who waits but a moment on the dreadful spot, and the wind seems to carry a voice low and muttering. Sam avers that he has several times smelled blood in the air, as his horses have stopped, and that he has heard a sound of a steel knife striking against a piccc of rock. Sam always declares he knows nothing about the history of the place, but Jabcz Brown, an old miner who has traveled all through the mountains, tells thb story, anuhas told it more than once to Sam Eckefelt without variation 01 change: "About fifteen years ago, when the Gunnison began to be first settled, I had a friend in California gulch named Joe Sommers. Joe got disappointed in tht gulch and started off to locate some new claim, ho said he didn't care much whero. Ho fell in with another fellow named Frank Eldor. Elder was rathei a weak, sickly fellow, a kind of tenderfoot, but was bent on making a fortuno. J. never could sec how ho and Somiuor could jibe vory well together. Sommer.* was a rough sort of fellow, but with a big heart, and was rather too fond oi whisky. Somehow or othor the two drifted into the Gunnison country. Thej roamed about for a year or more, alio at last concluded to settle down in a

they christened Desolation gulch, was a wild, rough sort of a place,an*, mountain lions aud Indians used ti swoop down once in awhile and sneak off with their gmib. Hut they built a cabin and went to prospecting. Sommers somehow thought the placo looked well. They dug away at a prospect hole, but nothing seemed to pan out. At last, one day, while Eldor was lying sick in the cabin and cursing Desolation gulch and his own bad luck, Sommeri thought ho struck a lead. Ho told Elder of it, and tho bravo young fellow jumped out of his bed, put on his pant, and boots and started out to dig. In short time they saw their efforts rewarded, and in a few weeks they had dug up a good quantity of oro. In about two "months they thought they had stuff enough on the dump to bt worth quito a little pile, and were to start off to tho nearest smelter. They had already loaded a train of burros with the ore, when In some way or other they fell to talking on a division oi the profits of the dump, and Sommers waid, "KWer, I'll bo d—d if you are entitled to an equal pile with me. You wen? lying sick like an old woman in the cal)in whon I struck this lead." Eldor said quietly 'Joe, I don't want to quarrel with you but I got off a sick bed to work oil that lead, and I think, old pard, you ought to let me have half the profits*.' Then they got into a discussion in which I suppose pretty high words were used on both sides. Final ly Sommers, having become thoroughly mad. said, with a big vein swelling in his forehead, 'You £11 teach you what sort of a divy there is going to be in this outfit' and drawing a stiletto from hfs belt he jabbed it quicker than lightning into Elder's heart Tho poorlittle Fellow sank back dead, never speaking after the fatal lungo was made. The stiletto had boon given to Somtaers by a little Gorman girl he used to be sweet on in Cincinnati. ••When she gave it to him she told him never to use it except in defense ol his own life or a woman's honor. He felt that ho had not dono either in this case, and seizing the weapon he dashed it against a stone, breaking it in halves. He then went up to Frank to see if he was quito dead. It didn't take long to convince him that this was the case. His conscience was beginning to trouble him a little, and he began to realise that he had act^d pretty hastily in the little dispute. But outside of all squeamishness about the murder, ho was that nean as to take a business-like view oi the matter, and he thought to himself that he would now hare the whole claim to himself. The next thing to think ol was how to get rid of the dead body. He thought on It awhile, and then concluded to stick it tn a pool of water that lay about ten rods from the cabin. I "He ffeought he would leave It there till he got hack from his trip, and then bury it. He came down to Denver, got his "money for the on, and started In tc enjoy himself. "One night when he was taking In the town with an outfit of pioked-up acquaintances,

tin,- says «ioe, 'i ve Been nere a tew days then be added, 'I am pretty drunk to-night and I want to shake this ground. Help me to do it, will you?" •All right,' says 'Bar-keeper, here you get a little back room where my pard and

I can

talk things over a bit.'

As I did so I jingled some coin in my pocket and added, "We have got the dust, and we want to tackle some bogjuice and talk over old times.' 'All right,' says be 'here, Tom (calling to a •nigger,'), show these gentlemen a rack room.' ••The other fellows who had followed Joe in to the bar wanted to go out with us, but I looked around and says: 'No, not if the court knows herself this i& my ante, and I want to keep you out Tne fellows were for kicking up a row, but the barkeeper says: 'Now, men, I don't want no fighting inside go out on the street if you want to fight. "He came from behind the bar, and an ugly-looking fellow, who, I suppose, was uie 'bouncer,' came out of a corner of the room, ready to take a hand in the threatened scrimmage, while we slipped into the back parlor and ordered our drinks. Then we drew out our pipes and began to smoke. I could see that Joe was pretty drunk and very free to talk. 'Where is your pard, Elder?' savs I. Joe kind of turned away his head and says: 'Bill, I don't know where he is, so help me then he stopped. Ho didn't seem to want to say God, and I have thought since he had better have said the devil. 'You see,' he added, 'Elder wandered off and got lost I haven't seen him for some time. He was bent on prospecting in a new spot.' "I saw that Joe hung down his head while he said this, aud somehow, though he was an old side pard. I didn't believe him. "I said: 'Joe, it's rather funny that a man should wander off in that way and you not know where he is gone.' "Then Joe said: 'You know Elder was a queer duck anyway, a puny sort of a cuss, not much fitted to roughing it. He had a fever down there in the gulch, nnd was sort of out of his head some of tho time. He used to rave at times about finding gold higher up in the mountains, and so one day when I had gono down to the nearest camp for some grub he wandered away, and I haven't seen him since nor heard from him.' "I looked up kind of suddenly and caught Joe's eye. I says to him, 'Joo, you and I have been friends for nigh on to six years, but I believo in my heart you're lyin'.' He says to me, 'no Jabe, lion est to God I ain't.' Between whiles Joo and mo had been drinking pretty freely, and as I looked at his face I began to fear he was going to have the iim-jams. 'Yes,' said he, 'poor Frank, he and me never was cut out to get along well together. He was pretty flighty, and you can bet your life I have got a quick tempor, and used to sometimes take him down whon he got on his high horse—My God! there he is now,' no suddenly exclaimed. I looked around tho room but could see nothing. I was a little full myself, and I says rather sharply, 'D—n it, Joo, you're drunk.' 'No, says he, 'there's Elder looking at mo. He's got Gretchen's stiletto sticking in his heart.' 'Then he suicided, dia he, Joe?' I said, looking up. 'No,' said he, 'he didn't—oh! keep nim off, he'll throw that dagger at me! "Then Joe foil out of his chair, rolled over, and had a tit. I callod in the barkeeper, and we got tho man over to my room. I called a doctor and we brought him to. He was sick for a number of days, and during that time, as he gradually came to know a little, he tola me the whole story of how ho killed Elder. He said he felt easier after he had told it, and didn't care whether they lynched him or not. I told him vory few people knew Elder in this part of the country, and I didn't think anybody would tako the trouble to tio him up on a cottonwood. I told Joo he had done very mean by Elder, but as long as be lived I nevor would peach on him. After he was dead I could not answer for it I thought ho ought to give Elder's friends half his property after he (Joe) was dead that is if ho could ever find any of 'em. Joo said ho was dreadful sorrv, and would do anything I told him. He felt worse about Gretchen's stiletto than anything else. I asked Joe what he meant to do, and ho said ho meant to go back to tho place and bury Elder, but he wanted me to go back with him. In a few weeks, whon Joe got stronger,we went back, and dog-gon my skin if tho first thing wo saw when we got into the hut wasn't abed made up in the middle of tho floor and something in it that looked just like a man. I was sober as a judge, and hadn't drank a drop for some days. I went up to tho bea and knocked my fist down onto the figure. Tho whole thing collapsed, and tho bed was as straight as over. We looked under the lied and hunted all around and about the cabin, but couldn't find nothing r.or nobodv. Well, we got Elder's •stiff' out of t)ie water, and it looked and smelled horribly. We buried it under a pile of stones, and Joo savs, 'Now, d—n him, he can't come to life agaiu.' "That night Joe and I slept together, bnt somehow it seemed all night as if there were three of us instead of two, and in the morning when we had got up and washed we looked at our bed and it looked just as if there was a man there again. "Well, to make a long story short, Joe sold hit claim to a Yankee in California gulch for big money. The Yankee never saw any ghosts or didn't care for them if he did. He took out a lot of ore, made quite a nice pile, came down to Denver and got killed in a saloon fight Joe went back east and found that his German girl bad died of heart disease on tho very night he had killed Elder with her dagger. Then he had a kind of sneaking curiosity to go back to the old hot again and alone. I started to

with him, but got drunk and was delayed a few days. When I arrived at the gulch Joe was lying with his throat cut

Everybody can Graft,

Grafting is not a monopoly of minds, or an art that can only be acquired by the few. With the ordinary amount of "gumption" to'begin with, followed by careful teaching for only a short time, almost any one can graft _lanfcewood of*another, instead of in the soil. It is essential that the growing layer of the scion and stock come in close contact, and be so held until they grow together. Now is the time to get the scions. They may be bought at most nurseries, and great care snould be taken to get only the best varieties. If cut at home, be equally careful to get them of the right kind, cutting only twigs of last season's growth. A fine saw, two good knives, one strong and heavy, the other smaller, with a keen edge a hard-wood wedge, six inches long and half an inch thick and a small mallet are the implements used in grafting. The wax may be easily maae by melting together, bees-wax six ounces, rosin and tallow four ounces each, over a moderate fire, stirring gradually until all is melted.— Rolls of waxed cloth may be formed from old cotton stuff made thin by wear and torn into strips two inches wide.— Wind the strips upon a stick and dip them into the melted wax when the cloth is thoroughly penetrated by the wax, remove, let drip, and put away from dust until ready for use.

successfully. Grafting is simply pi ing a cutting of one variety in the

Grafting should be done as soon as ths buds begin to swell. Having determined upon the place for the graft, saw off the branch, smooth the cut surface and make a cleft with the knife and mallet. Cut the scion from the twig, leaving two or three buds upon the piece, and sharpen the lower end into a wedge. Open the cleft with the knife and place the scion in carofully, so that the lower bud comes at the top of the cleft. The inner bark, or growing layer, of the scion and the stock should touch as much as possible. If the grafted branoh is small, a single scion is enough otherwise, put in one on each side. Unroll enpugh waxed cloth to covor the wound of both stocks and scions, and press it on carefully and closely. The quick application of this protection is only a matter of practice. It is well for beginners to start with worthless limbs before doing regular grafting in the orchard. If possible find some one in the neighborhood familiar with the process and learn the art from him. The general principles may be obtained from printed directions, but the success of the work will depend upon the knack, and that is only acquired in the orchard.

Will Posts Gat "Top End Down" Outlast Those Set Top End Up. It is firmly believed by many persons that posts set in the ground in a position tho "reverse" of which they stood while growing in the tree, will last much longer than when set "top end up." In the spring of 1879 I selected seasoned sticks, three feet long. These were split in two, and then cut in two crosswise, making four pieces of each. One sot was placed in well drained sand, the other in clay soil. In every case two pieces were set side by side, with earth between, one as it stood in tho treo, the other reversed. I tried thirteen kinds of timber. Some of these were young wood with the bark on. All oontained some heart wood. Those set in sand were examined in autumn of 1881. In case of the beach, sugar maple, ironwood, black ash, and black cherry, the piece reversed or placed "top end down" was somewhat most decayed. In case of red maple, American elm, butternut, and red elm, the piece set "bottom end down" was a trifle the most decayed. In caso of basswood, white ash, white oak, and blue ash, there was no perceptible difference. In autumn of 1882, the posts set in clay soil were examined, inxjase of the red maple, sugar maplo, American elm, basswood, outternut. red elm, the piece set "top end down" was most decayed In case of beech, white ash. black ash. black cherry, the piece set "bottom end down" was most decayed. In case of ironwood, white oak, bluo ash, there was no perceptiblo difference.

I infer that where one piece decayed more than the other it was caused by somo trifling difference in tho sticks. Tho freshly sawed ends in each caso were placed uppermost, and came an inch or two above tho ground.

In some casos one half of a stick (one

{astedcertainly

)iece tho reverse of the other) considerable better than its other half. As will be seen, it was sometimes the "top end down" which lasted better, sometimes tho "bottom end down," and in some cases there was no difference in durability.—IF.

Lime Juioe in the Treatment of Diphtheria, M. Czartoryski, M. D., of Stockton, California, writes as follows to the London Lancet:

During a prolonged residence in the interior of China, I became acquainted with the fact that the Chinese place great reliance during epidemics of diphtheria on the internal use of the fresh juice of limes, and of the fruit itself, which they consume in enormous quantities, in every conceivable form—as lemonade, with native spirits, cnt in slices, etc. during attacks of this dreadful disease, with apparently most successful results, it hardly ever failing to effect a cure. The Chinese consider it a specific, and will, in case of need, do anything to obtain a supply.

Since I have come back to California, aa also in Louisiana, I have toed limes and their juices in practice as a phy aician with most successful results tn cases of diphtheria, even in the most desperate cases. As aoon as I take charge of a case of diphtheria, I order limes to be administered as freely as bie, in any manner die patient can prevailed upon to take them, especially in the form of hot lemonade, sweetened with white sugar or honey, or cot in slices with powdered white sugar. Besides lime juice (which I suppose acts by imputing an excess of oxygen to the circulation, and thereby prevents formation of vibriones, etc., ana so has almost a specific effect on disease), I prescribe wnatever drug may be indicated to relieve symptoms aa they develop, and impart strength by appropriate stiaralanti and aourlahmsot.'

Bnfialo Bill's Plea for the Preservation of the Buffaloes and Elks. I wish to sincerely protest against one or two measures for the improvement 6f the Yellowstone Park, which, if "thoughtlessly carried out, are certain to be looked upon in the future as mammoth mistakes. I refer particularly to the idea of supplying the park hotels with game, which is now rather abundant upon the mountains and in the Valley of the Yellowstone. The Indians have always looked npon the hissing springs and the strange jrecesses of the park with awe, and never harmed beast or fowl that sought refuge within its precincts. They entertained similar superstitions in regard to the Black Hills, and no buffaloes or elks were slaughtered there until the whites came. To-day the buffalo and elk have almost entirely disappeared. The buffalo is actually a thing of the past in great regions of the West, where, only a few years since, gigantic herds were met from day to aay. Their slaughter has been criminally large and useless, and no hand is raised to stop the utter extinction which threatens them. Even their bones have been raked up and shipped East as anew source of profit In ten years the new generation will point to solitary specimens in traveling menageries or zoological gardens as the rare survivors of the noblest of

American wild beasts. It is difficult to estimate the percentage of decrease in their numbers, but certainly it should be the duty of somo one to check their wholesale destruction, not on sentimental grounds simply, but for more practical reasons. For example, a large class of settlers supply their tables with Venison the year round. They kill when their needs demand it, and are too conscious of the growing scarcety in numbers to shoot oftener than is necessary. Buffalo meat is the main dependence of many. A hunting expedition organized for the special purpose of stretching game on the plains for the coyotes to pick after nightfall does not find favor in the West as it did a decade or so ago.

For many years past the different animals have instinctively sought places of refuge, and one of their safest retreats nas been Yellowstone Park. Here, at least, they have been safe from Indian hunters, and, up to the present time, the whites have allowed tnem to continue in comparative peace. Let a rifle report awaken the echoes on the hills and in the canyons, and the creatures will soon vanish from sight. Onc.e out of their stronghold, and upon tho open plains, their chances of escape are few. For these and many other reasons, in my opinion, the consideration of measures for indiscriminate hunting in this spot should be deplored. I say encourage the beasts to stay so that in after years, when more are to be found elsewhere, they may serve the interests of natural history, as well as gratify and instruct the curiosity of the young. Thw will not bo found hostile to civilizing influences. I have to-day a herd of twenty-one head of buffaloes on my Nebraska ranch, which were captured wild but a few months since. To-day they roam about at will, and are fully as tractable as the cattle with which they mingle. They are easy to approach, and appear remarkably susceptible to kindness.

By all means let the march of improvement go on in the region of the Yellowstone, but let the gunshot be prohibited at the outset Its effect will be disastrous, and will rob the domains of a great and noble charm. The park is richer and grander than any other natural garden in America, and if its beauties are to be preserved at all they should be preserved together. Why not continue to give the beasts the protection thoy have always known here, and whioh has been denied them elsewhere? And why should we now cease to respect the superstition of great tribes before us, sanctioned by the faithful observance of ceuturies, and which insured for the splendid beasts of forest and plain the safest home they ever knew.—

Our Great Source of Wealth. There were in the United States in 1880, 4,008,907 farms, embracing 284,771,042 acres of improved land. Suppose there should be equal to "one acre more" planted in corn to each farm, the result would be at forty bushels to the acre, 160.000,000 bushels. These figures serve to show what farmers are, by a little extra effort, capable of accomplishing.

This country is great in resources and varied in climate, and a few facts from the census show that wo have not overrated the agricultural interests in their relations to the wealth and industry of the. nation. Here are the figures: Number of farms •4.008,907 Improved land Valne of farms $I0,197,09fl,77fl Value of implements 408,5^,056 Value of live stock lt500,4M,fl09 Value of farm products 2,21 *,402,564

There are millionaires in cities and rich merchants and manufacturers, but the great wealth, and that which does not shift much and is reliable, lies in ouf farms, and these, as we have already said are the basis of all industries. It is business, too, that is not likely to be overdone, and never had fanners a better prospect ahead or greater inducements to plant one acre more, than in this year, 1883.—Cincinnati

Remarkable Change in a Boston Woman'* i«s Hair, 'j» Many remarkable tales have been told of persons who. by reason of fright or other causes, have found that their hair has turned white in a single night But there is not we believe, anywhere on record a case where a person went to bed at night in a calm state of mind, rested soundly until daylight, and awoke in the morning to find that during sleep his or hor hair had changed from ebony to silver. That is to say, there never was such a case until recently, when just this sort of an incident occurred in Boston. The subject was a lady, who retired at her usual hour, taking with her to her room another and an elderly lady, a visitor, who had arrived late in the day, and for whom no other accommodation could be arranged. The subject of this incident was noted for the fineness and beauty of her hair, which was said by good judges—people who had been abroad ana were acquainted with the appearance of ravens—to rival the raven's wing in blackness and lustre. Being blessed with a good conscience and having eaten nothing indigestible at supper, the lady slept peacefully during the night and awoke refreshed in the morning.

But on looking toward the mirror she saw that her hair, instead of being block, as when she went to bed, was plentifully streaked with gray. She sprang up at once to assure berself by a hearer survey, and had just become convinced that her first view was correct, when at that moment her elderly companion, who had already dressed and gone down stairs, entered the room and, with the words, "It was so dark when I got up I put on the wrong switch," replaced upon the bureau a block and glossy coil. Catching up then the gray tresses that had for a moment so*alarmed the younger lady, she deftly arranged them in their appropriate place, and again quietly withdrew.

The Land of Wine.

The pre-eniinonco of France as a wine growing country is likely to be challenged within a few years unless a change occurs. France has produced over 800,000,000 gallons of wine annually, but of late years the phylloxera and other diseases have greatly docreased tho production of wine. Were it not for American and othor foreign cuttings and grafts, tho vast wine traffic of that country would have seriously jninished. To make what are called good wines requires a "starving" of the

Eeen,

lant for it is the grapes that have as it wore, stunted in their growth t! at have the finest bouquets. There has been an immense call for American wine to supply the demand caused by the partial failure of tho French grape crops, and literally millions of gallons of California wine have been exported to Europe and brought back to us as Rhine wine, Hock, CI ret and Burgundy. The most profitable industry in Calfornia to-day is grape growing. Another country, however, is about to challenge the world for its wine-pro-ducing qualities. This is Australia, which now exports great quantities of wine. So far, our American vines do not produce good champagne, but a certain Australian grape produces a sparkling wine, which is equal to the best Pomeroy or Roderer. Of course, owners of vineyards in California and elsewhere will be pleased at the prospect of selling their grapes at a profit, but, after all, do we want to be a great wine and brandy producing countn'? Wine tippling cultivates a taste for stimulants, which is subsequently gratified by more fiery potations. So perhaps, after all, the failure of wine crops in France may not be an unmixed benefit to the United States, even if we for a season profit by the better market for the productions of our vineyards.—

A VALUABLE MBDICIKE. Hunt's Remedy,—its Many Merita. Tokke

are no diseases more prevalent,

with, perhaps, the exception of consumption, in this country than the kidney and Urar complaints and to find a remedy that would effectually relieve them has long been the aim of many afflicted sufferers. Whether our habits aa a people nro conducive to these diseases, or whether they may result from the peculiarity of our climate, is beyond our comprehension, and is of littlo value since an efficacious remedy can be had but of ono thing we are sure, that the longafllicted public will hail with joy the specific which has again and again proved its ability to effectually cope with and eradicate these diseases. The namo of this mcdiclne is Hunt's Remedy, and it is manufactured by the Hunt's Remedy Company of Frovidenco. It is not often that mention of a patent mcdicine ooeuro in these columns but, when one comes under our notice possessing such undoubted merits as the one of which we speak, we cannot refrain from giving it tho credit it deserves. 11 cures whon all other remedies fail, as it acts directly on the kidneys, liver, and bowels, restoring them all at once to healthy action. It is sure to eradicato all diseuses of the kidneys, bladder, urinary organs,—such as gravel, diabetes, incontinence, retention of the urine. It has a wonderful effect on weakness or pain in tho back, sides, or loins, and has proved itself the most reliable mcdicine extant for general debility, female diseases, disturbed sleep, loss of appetite, and all complaints of the urino-genltal organs. Its efficacy in cases of that droadful scourge and insidious destroyer, Bright's Disease of the kidneys, has been remarkable and, if its merits rested on its success in coping with that disease alone, it would be worthy of high rank as a public benefactor. In all diseases of tho liver,— as biliousness, headache, dyspepsia, sour stomach, and costlvencss—it quickly induccs that organ to healthy action, and removes the causes at the same time. It is purely vegetable in composition, being entirely free from all mercurial or min-t cral poisons, and possesses rare virtues as a remedy for heart disease and rheumatism. Wo have neither time nor space to do this medicine fu'.l justice but tho public can obtain full particulars in the shape of pamphlets and circulars by addressing Hunt's Remedy Company, Provldcnco, R.
