Near the town of Weimar, in Saxony,
on the right of the long alley planted with
chesnuts, that leads from the town up to
the summer palace of the grand duke at
BeIvidere, there is a spot bare q ffrees,
showing the site of some ancient bnilding,
the ruins Of which have almost entirely
disappeared Near this site, among the
brushwood, are openings to most extra
ordinary series of subterranean passages,
which, it is said, have never been Thor
oughly explored. Some say that human
bones have been found in them others,
that persons endeayoring to explore them
witt 1t clue, have become bewildered,
and periehed Of hunger. Some attribute
them to human hands, and some to natu-
raj geological causes. 1t is only certain
that they are there, and that no one is able
to give any account of them. As to the
building, whose foundations alone are visi-
BILE among the bushes, it is said to have
been an ancient castle belonging TO some
former dukes Of Saxony.
Some few years ago, friend of ours,
Herr Helmold, of Weimar, was in the
habit Of making frequent visits 10 Ober-
wisTns, village at the end of the park,
one of the ways to which lies through the
Belvidere Alice -
One evening in October, after the sun
was set. he was passing along this road
in a thick fog, Illuminated by the moon !
as he passed the spot where the ancient
castle formerly stood, he was aware of an
appearance 10 the mist beside him, which
at first he did not pay much attention to.
as he thought It might be the reflection
of his own form. After a while, how
ever, it struck him that the image which
followed his steps so closely was accom-
panied by the image of dog, and he had
no dog with him. This circumstance
caused him to stop and look ct the figure
when, TO his horror, he obsezved that
wanted head.
Herr Helmold walked toward it--it 70
tired he ran from tit followed him
he fell into his usual pace--it continued
to keep sep with him. he addressed il,
bat it did not answer.
Herr HeImoId is Catholic In NOR
tai terror, he mechanically made the sign
of the cross. The ghost Immediately van-
ished IN the direction of the remains Of
the old castle.
There is an old tradition connected with
the ecene of ibis adventure, that former
duke of Saxony caused his son 70 be be-
headed for come fearful family crime
either the murder Of his ewn mother, or
an intrigue similar to that which forms
the foundation of Lord Byron's ssFarasi-
na
At Berka, small bathing place among
the hills, seven miles from Weimar, there
Is also to be seen, on wooden knoll, the
site of ruined castle, from which the
Grand Duke of Weimar derives his title
of Count Berka. The cid people of Borka
still talk Of headless apparition which
used to haunt it, and which often appear
ed to their grandfathers.

TnE Hamilton Telegraph relates the.
following: Some time ago a gentleman
ia this town was appointed auditor to dis
tribute the funds in the hands of an adj
nlinistrator amongst the creditors. No
tice of the sitting Of the auditor was pub
lished in two of the county papers. Il 50
happened that a few creditors residing IN
4 certain portion of the county, who had
claims to collect to the amount Of seven
or eight hundred dollars, from neglect d
taking county paper. never heard Of the
audit until the report Of the auditor had
been confirmed by the caurt. They then
came to town to inquire about the HlSeli-
hood Of securing their claims called upon
an attorney, who examined into the mat
ter, and informed them that they had for.
ever lost their money and, We presume,
charged them Eve dollars for the informa-
ton. AL this resulted from being too Pc
nurious or too careless to eabser7bs for .

a SAD STORY.

The Watertown Re former gives the de-
tails of sad chapter IN the recent dis
astert on Lake Ontario. Among the
passengers of the steamer Wisconsin,
burned near Cape Vincent, was Mr..
Chisholm, from Canadas, on his way to
Missouri, in company with his wife and
children, six in number He was man
about fiffy-five years old. had bought a
farm In the State to which he was trav-
cling, and was moving with his family
and goods. When the FIRE broke out he
was sitting on deck, but his wife and chill
dren had retired for the night. One OF
the, small boats was let down to within
about a foot of the water, and about
twenty passengers Ieapt into it, and Mr..
Chisholm assisted his wife, three daugh-
ters and a son to get in. One of the
frightened crowd cut with the knife rope
which connected the bow of the small
boat with the davit, and the looseued end
dropped down ike spoon, and at once
filed with water.
The passengers were thrown out and
nearly all drowned. This happened not
moro than minute and half before the
steamer struck the shore on Grenadier
Island, and had all remained on board, as
the Captain ordered, not life would have
teen lost. Mrs. Chisholm, the three
daughters, aged respectively. twepty-seven
and fifteen and the boy of eleven. years
were all drowned. The father and the
two elder boys, who stuck to the boat,
were saved. bir. Chisholm had $4,000
in greenbacks, his only fortune, which
was in his wife's satchel and was de-
stroyed by the flames. Thus be was left
10 . strange land, widower, bereft of
four children, without money orproperty,
with his great grief resting on his soul, to
commence the world anew. The bodies
of his wife and children were recovered,
and have bsen inferred in the graveyard
at Caps Vincent, and Che sad heart broken
husband ard iaiher, with his two remain
ing cons, win 60 on to his homeless heme
in the West. Few life dreams have sad
der chapters than this.

Preae. Interference i. s..I,.

The following dispatch from the Paris cor
respondent Of the London Times throws new
light upon the recent events IN Italy:
There is not the slightest doubt that il was
the intention of the Rattazzi Government to
march an army To Rome. Everything was ar
ranged Tor so doing. The army was on the from
tier, the General Commanding was appointed,
the passage of the boundary line was a questi IN
of hours rather than OF days. Scruples in the
highest quarter, ami still more, the opposition
of certain generals, who represented the Italian
army AS in state wholly unfit TO venture a
possible campaign against French troops pre-
vented the bold design from being carried out
France threatened,a prepared her forces,
| shipped stores, men and horses at Toulon and
| pressed upon the Italian Government the ac-
| ceptance OF certain conditions The principal
among these were increased vigilance and
| stronger guard along the Roman frontier the
| dissolution of the COMMITTEES of Assistance to
the insurection, which have their public Off.
cesin Florence and elsewhere, the cancelino
by this Government of the grants of money to
aid the insurgents recently voted by various
Italian municipalities, and the disarming of
Garibaldians who should recross the frontier
into Italy. have reason to believe that the
Emperor Napoleon telegraphed to The King of
Italy urging him TO issue proclamation in
this sense; certainly an exorbilant demand in
the present state of Italian affairs, and one
with which complete compliance was impossi-
bic without mourning very serious cOnse-
hopes that, if complied with, the Papal forces
would soon get the better o. the instruction,
and the belief was certainly well-founded, if it
be true that bands of trained soldiers in plain
clothes have been despatched from France to
the Pope's assistance statement, however,
which rests entirely upon the responsibility of
the Insurgent Committee. -
The correspondent adds
The great question now is the Roman ques-
tion and it has to be settled. That settlement
is important to France as well as to Italy,
The latter country may be right to recoil from
war with her powerful neighbor. Her army
isweak, its arms inferior 70 those of the French;
her excheauer is empty; of her navy nothing
need be said. Although in the BELIEF of many |
including probably Rattazzi himself, if $4,000
Italians were in Rome, a French torce would |
never advance beyond Cvita Vecehia, and ne
gotiations would then ensue with some chance |
of n satisfactory termination, it may have been |
too hazardous, from military poin of view |
TO take so decisive q step. 1t may seem strange |
that the civilians should be more daring than
the soldiers, but it has been so in the present |
case. But France will do well TO remember |
the black spots her horizon, and to he |
sure that 1T ste does not satisfy this country in
.' lsatter OF Rome, her first difficulty will be

The New York Tribune concludes that Geo
H. Pendleton, of Ohio, viii be the next Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency. 1t re-
CARDS this rs the most valuable result of the
late elections. If they had gone like those Of
1866 we should have had some ambiguous, halt

but now the sham Democracy will select rep
resentative man like Pepdleton.
Some of the Boston Democrats were so conf
