To MAKE GHosrs V1s1nLE.-The


tent Office recently refused to grant patent
to spiritualist of New York who applied for
patent for San arrangement to make ghosts
visible" 1t consisted of a room from which
light and air was almost excluded, only air
was admitted by stopcock, which was opened
from time to time, AID light was passed, in very
small quantity, through a piece of dark blue or
black glass, or fluid, SO shat when entering the
room nothing was seen, but remaining in u
any length of time very faint view of the in
terror was obtained = the inventor asserting
that the bodies Of ghosts or spirits are SO atteh
uated that common light passes straight
through them and makes them invisible. The
ground on which the patent was refused was
that if several persons, are inclosed in such a
room without sufficient air to breathe, they
win not only see ghosts, but also give up their
own Ghosts M ,r.5s, ..l-.

! The Base Ball Championship of New Eng
land has been surrendered to the Lowell club
by the Harvards without playing. The chal-
lenge was sent in during the vacation and it
was not thought worth while to attempt to
call the nine together within the fifteen days
allowed by the rules The secretary of the
Harvards closes his letter on the subject with
the following sensible remarks:
One of the nine is in Chicago, one in Mary
land, two in Albany, one in New Hampshire,
one near Boston, and tine whereabouts Of the
rest unknown, even to the captain. Any one
who supposes these men are coming together
at the sacrifice of their vacation must believe
that base ball holds a prominence i'm our
minds far beyond all merits. We play ball for
pleasure and exercise. Competition, we think,
adds pleasant excitement. When, however,
the game becomes as exacting of our time as
business, it loses its value and interest. These
are the grounds ON which We based our deci-
sion to give up the ball without a struggle =

Advertisers special Washington dispatch of
yesterday has thefollowing statements respect
ing new dodge attempted by the President;
At the request of the President, John M.
Langston, colored orator from Ohio, has had
an interview with Mr.. johnson regarding the
change in the Freedmen's Bereau. Mr.. Lang
ston urged Mr.. Johnston to retain General
Howard, giving as his opinion that the real in
terest of the colored people required it, Mr.
johnson replied that he considered General
Howard ambitious and corrupt, and that be-
sides he was a hypOcrite and did not have the
interests of the colored people at heart, and
said that he must appoint man who was
true friend to them, and he intended to do so.
He further stated that if the colored pee pie
here would agree upon some one of their num-
Der, he would appoint him, and clearly intimat-
ed his readiness to tender the place to Mr..
Langston. The latter has no idea of taking
the place. His friends have advised him not
to co so, ana While many of them would like
to take the President at his word and commit
him to the policy of giving black men Office.
still they appear to agree that the real design
of the President is to involve the Bureau in
irretrievabe difficulties, by putting a civilian
at its head, and making necessary the removal
or resignation of many military officers who
could not do duty under a civilian, and also
Complaining its relations with the other bu-
reaus of the War Department.. The President
further hopes thus to secure the resignation of
many officers through their refusal to serve
with and under colored men, and in this way
20 bring odium upon the radicals There seems
no probability of Mr.. Langston's being caught
in the Presidents trap. a BE t.g-..-.f u be
