THE RErICENCE OF THE CABLE.

The CABLE-"in the deep bosom Of the
ocean buried"-uttere.h no intelligent sound
for cur readers to-day. We trust that the
Empress Of Mexico is we'll, and that the
Emperor of France retains his reticence. If
the cable speaketh not before tomorrow, we
will secure special dispatches from our Paris
(Maine( London Conn.,, and Berlin Mass J
correspondents, and make up for the loss by
the addition Of an exclusive communication
from HULL
The failure of the cable to work tonight is
an unfortunate thing to NAPOLEON, inasmuch
as Aocannot learn at once that America is
hereafter to be represented at the French
Court by q statesman and soldier who de-
clared, ~ any man dares haul down the
american flag, shoot him on the spot"

The Haunted Hou.. An Chicago.

Chicago always will have its "exi
citement and its journals rejoice over
the same. The latest is u haunted
house, Of which we copy from the Post
us follows;
The scene of the singular and start
ling manifestations is in respecta
bic locality, being on the fourth floor
of the large brick block No. i2S West
Randolph street. The. rooms, three
in II Imber, are occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Skeels who have lived in Chi
cago two years, but have occupied
those rooms ouly about tour weeks.
MIR. Skeels is at present out OF the
city. Mr.. J L. Bushnell, who is II
half brother Of Mrs. Skeels, boards in
the family, and is employed in Mar
ple's Mills, on Carroll street. There
is also another adult person in the
famiIy-a Mrs. Finley, who is acting
as nurse. She has an infant chIld
with her, rs has also Mrs Skeels.
The first of th>se manifestations
occurred on Tuesday evening, abou
clock. At thai time Mrs Bush
nell and Mrs Skees were sitting qui.
teIy in the larger room, when sudden
ly the folding doors opening into the
bed room slid violently together,
striking with a loud crash, Almost
Immediately after the hall door open
ed aud shut with q slam, winch jar
red the whole building. The spit
toon commenced travelling across the
floor; boards and tables commenced
dancing; various articles were thrown
from the bureau upon the floor, The
terrified women dared not move or
speak, uutil at about nine o'clock, Mr..
Bushnell came home.
They at once told him what they
had seen; but he was skeptical laugh
ed at their fears, sat down in chair,
and waited for manifestations He
had not long to wait, for, as he was
seated in u rocking chair in front OF
the stove, suddenlya a piece of cloth
about four yards Of black alpacca-
tell directly into his lap. He grasped
the cloth, examined it, and positively
AYERS that he never had any such
cloth in his house before. Again the
sIamming Of doors and the mysterious
moving Of furniture commenced, and
the terrified family passed a sleeplcss
night.
At late hour the premises became
quiet. aud Mr.. Bushnell sat silently
mediiating on the strange events,
when the hall door, though it had
been securely fastened, burst open,
and of u sudden, as ii b'oody hand
had been violently slapped against it,
on the outside, to his great horror, he
saw five streams Of blood trlckle slow
ly down one Of the panels He got
/ up and closed the door, and stream
OF blood rushed rapidly down upon
the outside.
After breakfast, yesterday morning
Mr.. Bushnell vent to his work as
usual. At about nine O'Clock one o.
the women went down stairs, closing
and locking the door, leaving the chill
dren asleep on bed in the bed room
