In the first place I do not believe ghosts at all, and I am not a nervous woman, afraid of tnv own shadow, and I do not give heed to' supernatural things. Therefore I can not explain what I am about to relate. It any one who maj read this can, I shall be glad ic hear the EXPLANATION.
1872,
before
for Europe, I made a stay of a
Metropolitan hotel
New York. I was
on the second floor. I

dined and
had written a little in the evening. Finally I It It off work and sat down bv the fire, ami as 1 sat there I noticed particularly the disposition of
the furniture
the lOjm and the ri.om itself
has
Oi.c
French
over each door.
Direc.lv facing the door was a large
window, opening into the street.
A little iron railing passed in front of it outside. The fireplace was by the side of the window. Just back of where I sat. on the right &ide of the room as you entered, there were a large wardrobe and a small drab reps lounge. On the left side of the roa:n wan a stationary washstand, and next ':hat a bureau Tift gas was just over this wash,tand. A few chairs and a small marble top table completed the furniture. had been writing, as I suit!, and
10
have sufficient light had rolled the little table over close against tlu washstand, and had covered it with manuscript, and photographs. I h:ul not been reading anything to give rise to bad dreams, had
eaten
a moderate dinner, was in supeib health, and my writing Ivid been commonplace correspondence.
At. about 11 o'clock I went to bed. after having carefully locked the two doors and lowered the gas. I went to sleep immediately, after my usual habit, and slept I do not know how long. 1 woke up with a start and a cold feeling of terror. I sat vtraight up in bed. My room was brilliantly lighted, and I sawthat the marble table had been Cleared of the manuscript, etc., and had been drawn over to the side of the lounge, while the easy chair in which I tiad been sitting had" b.en place.! opposite the lounge. Two men were .seaUd there playi ig cards.
I just sat and /joked at them, not knowing what to do or say. I hey had ewjdenliy mistaken the room, I thought, and yet,"to save my lite. 1 could n«t have spoken or moved. 1 noticed that the man on the sola was slender and appai entlv in delicate health. He had red hair'and a red bt-ard all. over his face, tie was dressed in gmv clo.hes. 1 noticed thit. his left hand seemed to b^ somewhat misshapen near the wrisr, as if it had been hurt at some time. M'u face was m.m.ed with extreme sensibility", and lie had small features.
The i.h .11.1.1 was, physically, his op polite, lie was large," of fine physique very dark complexion, with very thick, short black lw.ir, and a long, drooping black mustache. Mis eyebrows were vtrv heaw, and had short, thick hair, that stood straight out, making them look like two great black caterpillars. His cli eks and chin seemed to have b^en ntnvlv shaved, yet the beard showed through ihe sRin with a faint bluish tinye" He had a little three cornered scjr near the right corner of his mou':h. ii as ssed in bl ick an wore an emerald pin.
Those who know me best knov that fear is not one of my components yet 1 must cjnfess that I felt a sensation very like it. They were playing euchre, and soon there arose a dispute. I neat no words yet from tlu*ir angry look and gestures 1 knew that they were quarreling. Suddenly the darker man drew a long knife and plunged into the breast of the man on the Kola, He quivered a lit
tle and
then lay still. The other stood
looking at him for a moment., then took the t'eiid man's ri^ht hand and clasped it around the handle of the knife, bracing the elbow against the table then coollv gathered up the cards and, putting them" in his pocket, took up a black hat and went out.
I turned to look at tnc dead man .ie too, had disappeared, and the room was dark.
I tried to think I had ha a the night mare, hid my head under the bed clbtnes, and at last went to sleep again.
On rising in the morning I iouod the marble table standing by the lounge, the arm chair beside it, and all my papers on the bureau by the window. This ma le a great impression on me for a time, hut a multiplicity of occupation dur in the dav and visits from some friends obliterated all remembrance of it. Yet hen 1 ent to bed that night it was only to bs awakened by the same horror to .-ee the same tragedy enacted, and to find toe table misplaced in the morning as be-ore.
The third night I took the" table over by the window, placed all the articles upon it that it would hold, and left the gas turnei*. onh*il^ but it was the same. 1 wa«sngain the unwilling witness of the tragic scene. 'i tie fourth night I began to r#nllv dread the vision, or whatever it was, and called the chamber hiaid. Her first name, I remember was Katie. I asked her to stay with me that nigrit, but she said it was not permitted. 1 then told her I wanted her to pile ail the chairs she could make

the
floor in their places in the came and laid
that there had not. He said that the only tragedv of any. kind that had ever hapoened" in the hotel was the suicide of a sick man who had come there from the south and h&l killed himself, as they supposed, in a fit of despondency. Me could not remember how the man looked. There were so many coming and going that he could not remember people. I told him he must give me another room, which he did that afternoon.
As Katie, the chambermaid, helped me to change apartments, she looked as if
she understood something- I asked her if she had ever heard anything regarding that room, and she told me that she never had but once during the two years she had been there. There had been an invalid ladv there with her husband, and the lady declared she saw terrible things, and could not be pe« 6uaded to remain in the room after the tir ird night, although her husband had seen nothing whatever.
As for me. there is not money enough in New York to hire me to sleep in that room again. I somehow teel as if I was going to lrieet that visionary assassin in the flesh, though I cannot account for the impression anv more than I can for the strange but strictly true story I have related.
A GOOD STORY ABOUT ELEPHANT-
in
As th-it
a direct bearing on my story, I
will
briefly describe it. TI to room was long and narrow, and at the end nearest the main hall had a curtained alcove for a bed. By making this alcove, a narrow hall was formed, which opened into the main hall. Therewere two doors to this little hall, one opening into the outside corridor and the other into my room. There were two ama'l transoms,
AN
01.D SOUPRAMAXY'S BIG FIGIIT—AN ELEPHANT FISHING WITH CHILDREN.
In the autumn of
1S76
I was living in
the interior of Bengal, and I went to *ppnd Christmas with mv friend, Major Daily. The major's bungalow was on the banks of the Ganges, near Cawnpore. He had lived their a good many years, being chief of the qifatermaster's department" at that station, and had a great many nati^er, elephants, bullcck carts and soldiers under his command.
On the morning after my arrival, after a cup of early tea (often taken before daylight in India.) I sat smoking with rvy friend in the veranda of his bungalow, looking out upon the windings of the sacred river. And directly, 1 asked the major about his "children (a bov and a girl) whom I had not yet seen, and begged tp know when I should se? them. "Soupramanv has taken them out fishing," said their father. "Why, isn't Soupramany your gre at war elephant?" I cried. "Exactly so. You can not have forgotten Soupramanv? •'Of course not. I was here, you know, when he had that fight with the elephant who went mad while loading a transport with bags of rice down yonder, I saw the mad elephant when he suddenly began to fling the rice into the river. His 'mahout' tried to stop him, and he killed the mahout. '1 he native saliors ran away to hide themselves and the mad elephnnt trumpeting, charged into this enclosure. Old Soupramany was here, and so was Jim and Bessy. When he saw the mad 'animal he threw himself between him and the children The little cne.i and their nurses had just time to get into the house wtier. the light commenced." "Yes," said the major, "Old Soup was a hundrd years old. He had been trained to war, and to fight with the rhinoceros,but he was too old to hunt then."
And yet," said I, becoming animated by the recollections of that dav, "what a gallant tight it was. Do you remember how we 1 |s )d on this porch and washed it, not daring to fire a shot le,t we should hit
Old
Soupramany? Do _\ou
remember, too, his looks when he crew off, after fighting an hour and a half, leaving hisadversary dying in the dust and walked straight to the 'corral,' shaking his great ears, which had fic^n badly torn, wT.h his head bruised, and a great piece broken from one of his tusks?" "Yes. indeed," said the major. "Well, since then he is more devoted to my dear little ones than ever. He takes them out whole days, and I am pcr'ectly content to have them under his charge. I don't like trusting christian children to. the care of natives bit'. with Souo I know thev can come to no harm."
What"! you trust vour children Tunder ten years ot age to Soup without. a"y other protection?" "1 do," replied the major. Come along with me, if ou doubl. and we will surprise them at thtir fishing. followed Major Daly, and, after walking half a mile along the wooded banks oft he river, we came upon the little group. The two children—Jim, tie e'der, being about ten—both sat still and silent, for a wonder, each holding a lod, with a line, cork, hook and bait, anxiously watching the gas' corks bobbing in the water. Beside them stood old Soup with an extremelv large bamboo rod in his trunk, with line, hook, bait and coik, like the childicn. .1 need not say I took small notice ot -the children, but till ned all tn attention to their big companion. I had not watched him long before he had a bite, for, as the religion of the
Hindoos
the
forbids them to take life,
river
swarms with fishes.
Theoldfellowdidn.it stir his little eves watched his line eagerly he was' no novice in "ihe gentle craft.'' He was waiting till it was time to draw in his prizj.
At the end of his line, as he drew it up. was dangling one ot^ those golden tench abiind'ant in the Garges.
When Soupramany perceived what a fine fidi he hud caught, he uttered one of those long, low, gurgling notes of satisfaction by ••vnich an clpheant expresses jov ai he waited patiently expectingJim to take his prize off the hook and put on some more bait lor him. but Jim the little rascal sometimes liked to plague old Soup. .He nodded to us as much as to sav, "Look out, and you'll sec fun now Then he took cflf the fish, which he threw into a water jar placed there for the purpose, and wept back to his place without putting any bait on old Soup's hook. The intelligent animal did not attempt to throw his line into the water. He tried to move Jim by low, pleading cries. It was curious to see what tender tones he,seemed to try to give his vo:ce.
Seeing that Jim paid no attention to his calls but sa: and laughed as. he handled his own line, old Soup went up to him, and with liis trunk tried to turn his head in the direction'of the bait-box. At last, when he fou nd that all he could do would not induce his wilfuljjfriend to

THE LUCKY LOAF.
Near the gate of an old town in Germany a poor man and his son, a little boy, sat by the way side one evening. The father took out a loaf of tread which he had bought in the town, and broke it and gave half to his boy. "Not so, father," 6aid the boy "I shall not eat until afteryou. You have been working hard ail day for small wages to support me, and you must be very hungry. I shall wait till you are done." "You speak kindly, my son," replied the pleased father "your love to me does me more good than my food and those eves of yours remind me of your dear mother "who has left us, and who told you to love me as she used to do and indeed, my bov, you have been a great strength and comfort to me but now that I have eaten the first morsel to please you, it is your turn to eat." "Thank you. father but break this piece in two and take a little more, for you see the loaf is not large and you re quire more than I do." "I shall divide the loaf for you, my boy but tat it I shall not. I have abundance and let us thank God for His great goodness in giving UB food, and in giving us what is better still—cheerful and contented hearts. He who gave us the living bread from heaven to nourish our immortal souls, how shall he not give us all other food that is necessary to support our mortal bodies."
The father and son thanked God, and then began to cut the loaf in pieces to begin their frugal meal. But as they cut one portion of the loaf there fell out several large pieces of gold of great value. The little bov gave a shout of joy, and was springing torward to grasp the un expected treasure, when he was pulled back by his father. "My son, my 'son!" "do not touch that money it is not ours!" "But whose is it, father, if it is not ours?" "I know not as yet to whom it be lorigs but probably it was put there by the baker through some mistake. VW must inquire. Run." "But, father," interrupted the boy. "vou are poor and needy, and you have bought the loaf, and the baker may tell a lie, and "I will not listen to you my boy. I bought the loaf, but I did not buy the gold in it. If the baker sold it to me in ignorance, I shall n^t be so dishonest as to take advantage of him remember Him who

would have others do to us. The baker may possiolv cheat us. I am poor indeed, but that is no sin. If we share the poverty of Jesu§, God's own' son, O, let us share also His goodness and His trust i:i God. We may never be rich, but we may always be honest. We may die of starvation, but God's* will be done, should we die in doing it. Ye#, my boy, trust God and walk in His wai and you shall never be put to sham-: Now run to the baker and bring hiin here, and I shall watch the gold until he comes."
So the boy ran for the baker. "Bro'her workman, said -he old man. "you have made some error and almost lost your money and then he showed the baker the gold, and told hiin how it had been found. "Is it thine?'1 asked the father "if it is, take it away."
My father, baker, is very poor, and—,' "Silence, my chila put me not to shame by thy complaints. I am glad we have'saved this man from losing his money."
The baker had been gazing alternately upon the honest father aud the eager boy, and upon the gold which lay glittering upon the turf. "Thou art indeed an honest fellow," said the baker, "and my neighbor David, ihe flax dresser 'old but the truth when he said thou wert the honestest man in our town. Now I shali tell thee about the gold A stranger came to my shop a few drvs ago, and gave me that loaf, and told "me to sell it cheaply, or give it away, to the,honestest peor man whom 1 knew in the citv. I told David to send thee to me as a customer this morning as thou wouldst not have the loaf for nothing. 1 sold it to thee, as thou knowcst, for the last pence in thy purse and the loaf with all its treasure—and certainly it is not small—is thine, and God grant thee a blessing with it.'
The poor father bent his heael to the giound, while the tears tell from his eyes. His boy ran and put his hands about his neck and said .' "I shall always like you, my father, trust God an-.4 do what is r'g.it lor 1 am sure it will never put us to shame.

Jimmv's part, and picking up the bait-box pretended to run with it. 'Ihe elephant was not iroing tc be teased by me. He dipped his trunk into the Ganges, an in an instant spuirted a stream of water over me. with all the force and precision of afire engine, to the immense amusement of the children.
The major at once made Soup, a sign to stop, and. to make peace with the fine old fellow, I baited his hook myself. Quivering with joy .'as a baby does when it gets hold at last of a plaything some
COMMUNISTS CELEBRATING GOOD FRIDAY. The society of communist refugees in this citv last night indulged in a burlesque celebration of the fast of Good Friday at a lit'ie restaurant in Bleeker street, apparently for the purpose of rildiculingreligion and defying public sentiment. The toasts, speeches, and the entire proceedings were blasphemous and indecent, as couid have been expected from a company of "Reds" excluded from their own country by their infamous doctrines and more infamous acts. These are the men who assume to teach American svorkingmen, and who are bent upon debauching the minds of the unthinking until they can be prought to perpetrate another riot Megy, who assisted at the assasination of Archbishop Darboy, was one of the loudest-mouthed, and thretensd to lay out the World reporter who previously gave an interview with him. The banquet-room was hung with red Mags and commune banners. Beccher was denounced roundly, and one of
Megy's boasts was "the annihilation of all priests and other rascals.'" —[N. Y. Cor. Cin. Enquirer.
