Somebody has been experimenting upon the guilt
hility OF the editor Of the Plaquemine Pilot Read
the following fearful chapter
HAUNTED Housa-4nd Astounding Revelations
at CAsniere Konqaiuo on Bayou Torinion.-0n the
place now occupied by Mr. Lsndsman alias Fife Is
the scene Of strange and unearthly performances
We have been told that It j. now haunted and visited
by supernatural beings strange noises and unnatural
soands have ieen beard BY gentlemen Of our parish.
Many persons have gone there 70 visit the house and
have asked questions concerning various matters and
they answered promptly by supernatural voices,
and strange to say when you ask question you
not tell from what part Of the house the answer pro-
ceeds, Imagine yourselves in this desolate house.
aud when you are about to leave il. you are caught
In the arms OF monster and held tight that il is
impossible 10 get away until ii thinks proper to re-
lease you. II has not yet been ascertained whether
this monster il mortal spiritual it takes different
forms to day il is one form ami tomorrow it is an
other.
And now comes the most remarkable Of all. On
the tomb Of a gentleman lately deceased, there is
placed every day clean plate with dressed
chicken on it. when from behind the tomb comes a
large creature in the form Of snake, nine or ten
feet long with head something akin 10 an alligator
and commences leiscrely to devoar the delcately
prepared fowl. AS soon as it finishes il disappears
no one knows whittier, and You see nothing but the
plate and the bones, and every day the same thing
is renewed you see clean plate and nice dressed
chicken. bt who what places il there is yet to be
found out. What are we to think Of these strange
rumors Who knows but what It may be the great
sea serpent there has been so much talk o. and who
tired Of his native element has found his way into
the Gulf and up the bayou into the quiet grave yard
Of Ronqnillo, there to live on the daintles that Is
placed ID bis way.
For ourselves We intend to visit the of action
after which We may say more on the subject. For
the present It remains mystery.

Silk SruFFsA very interesting discovery has been
made. hy which photography may be applied to the
ornamenting Of silk stufs. The silk, when prepared.
Il exposed TO the rays Of light penetrating through
the issures Of the window blinds in close room, the
points where the stuff has received these rays OF
light Will assume peculiar reddish tint. Now sup

after given PATTERN and TO be laid upon piece of
silk prepared as before II exposed TO the SUM- or,
