E A singular story comes from
the neighborhood of Corinth, Mis-
sissippi. A Mr.. Mangrum killed q
young man during the war, and few
days since Mr.. Mangrum was on q
deer drive, and while at one Of the
stands he saw an object approaching
him, which so alarmed him that he
raised his gun and fired at it. The
object, which resembled a man COW
cred with a sheet, continued to ad
vance upon Mr. Mangrum, when he
drew his pistol and ,emptied all the
barrels at the ghost. None of the
shots seeming to take effect, he
climbed q tree to make his escape
By the time he was short distance
up the tree, the white object was
standing under him. with its eyes
fixed upon him, and he declared II
was the spirit of the young man
whom he had killed. Mangrum was
so startled at the steady gaze that
he tainted and fell from the tree.
His friends carried him home, the
ghost following, and standing before
him constantly, until he died, after
two or three days, in great agony.

A Soldiers Estimate of Seymour.

The following extract from 8
speech of Gen. Woodford, Lieut..
Governor of New York, at a public
meeting in Brooklyn, New York,
shows how Union Soldiers regard
Seymour:
You can now understand how we
soldiers feel toward His Excellency,
Horatio Seymour. In the hour OF
our sorrow and WEAKNESS he had no
encouragement for rs, no faith 10 our
courage, and no faith in the final vic
tory. Now, in our triumph, when the
flag streams on every breeze and all
our land is one again, we have no need
for thee, Horatio Seymour. Let
Southern rebels shout thy praise; let
the burner of orphan asylums, and
the deserter and the skulker from the
draft, twine laurels for thy brow; we
will stand by the old flag, all battle
SCARED, but glorious in victory. while
We follow the great Captain OF our
armies, our own Ulysses Grant.
At the battle of Lookout Mountain,
as, following the line Of fire, our sur
geons climbed up the hilly steep,
they met four soldiers coming down
and carrying in a blanket a shapeless
mass. Laying their burden tenderly
down, they asked the doctor to look
at their wounded Color Sergeant.
His shoulder and forearm had been
torn away by shell. The surgeon
knelt, and putting his hair back from
his manly brow, asked, "My brave
fellow. where were you .hitr his
ewes unclosed for a moment and ne
family answered, "Almost at the top.
"No. nv good man, whereabouts are
Won wounded?" Again his dying
ewes opened, again bis pale lips
moved, as he whispered, 81 was al
most at the top, sir, bearing the nag,
when the shell struck me. One me-
ment more and I should have been
clear up." He gave one gasp, and
his brave spirit was gone forever.
And so, dear friends, it is with US
to- day. We are almost at the top.
In faith and love we have carried the
dear old flag for four long years Of
st-uoeie until we are above the
clouds !, fighting as Joe Hooker fought.

The Pig or PuppykRlSsform-
Which Ia 40

Inc following story will be appre-
ciated by every man whs viii an
alyze the platform of the Democrat;e
party recently adopted at New York.
Some years ago a gentleman lived
few miles from Louisville KY, who
had fine breed of dogs. A friend
living about five miles from him Sc
cured the promise ofs pup from him
when old enough to be taken from
the mother. ESQ
When the time came the donor
wrote letter of presentation, and
causing one of his negros to place
the pup in bag, gave him the let
ter and ordered him to take the let
ter and pup to Mr.. The negro
shouldered the bag and trudged
along until he came to grocery ON
the roadside, about half way to his
destination, at the door of which sat
half a dozen young men who knew
the negro and his weak points.
Hailing him they asked him what he
had in his bag and where he was ia
king it.
The negro unsuspicious of evil,
told them all about it, on which they
told him to come in aud get a drink.
Nothing 10th, he set his bag outside
of the door, and went in and drank,
and whilst some of the party kept
him in conversation inside, others
stole the pup and substituted q pig
in place of it. After drinking, the
negro came out and shouldered his
bag, unconscious of the change, and
proceeded to his destination. Ar
irving there he sent his letter to the
gentleman 80 whom it was directed,
who, glad to receive his present,
gave orders to admit the bearer.
When brought into his presence he
told the negro to get him out. The
negro did so. When piggy appear
ed the negro, all astonishment, de-
clared it was just as master sent it.
The gentleman, thinking himself in
suited, wrote very indignant letter
to the donor, and ordering the ne
gro to take the pig back, gave HIM
the letter for his master.
The negro again proceeded on his
way until he came to the grocery,
where the same crowd still stopped.
On observing him they hailed him,
to know why he was bringing back
the pup. The negro told them the
reason, and they again asked him to
drink, and while he was doing so
they substituted the pup for the pig.
After drinking, the negro went on
his way with his burden, and arri-
wing at home, gave his master the
gentleman's letter. The master was
astonished at its contents, aud Or
dered the bag to be emptied, when,
10 and behold there was the pup.
The negro, in amazement, raised
both hands and cried out. "'Fore
God, master, he am pig or pup, just
as he please 20
Now, let any honest man read the
platform, and if the pig or pup plat
form is not the true name for it, then
it will be hard to find one for it

EH The New York World tries to
supply US with some information as
to the craftsmanship Of Governor
Seymour. We cheerfully give it
credit for the best of intentions; we
will be generous, and say that it has
made out better case for him than
he can make out of his record for
himself But, simmered down, the
evidence is that Seymour has been
twice Governor of the State of New
York, and has made some very clev'
er speeches, advocating the ideas
and political measures of other men
He may fill the Worlds idea of
statesman in the State of New York,
but he will spread out thin over the
whole country Cin. Com.
