anear relative, which took place about
five years ago. A daughter of the
household, occupying the room, first
heard some weeks ago in the dead of
night tapping upon the head-board d of
her bed, which increased in Ioudness
until sleep became impossible; she was
obliged to WOO the god of slumber in
another apartment Afterward the
wife Of this municipal legislator, while
in the ghostly room, heard the same
sounds proceeding from the same quar-
ter. At first she thought they were
made by her little son, but slight in
vestigation convinced her that no flesh
ly fingers were, tab, tabbing, upon the
head-bOard of the bed in which the de-
ceased relative breathed his last. In
great alarm she fled from the fatal room,
not caring just then to communicate
with the other world, or preferring some
other mode Of spiritual intercourse.
Since the first manifestations the
noises have been heard at frequent in
tervals, always in the same place and
seemingly made in the same manner.
The room has been closed and left ex-
clusively to the ghostly tenant, who
seems unable to desert quarters which
he once found so quiet and comfortable.
The Councilman is still to be seen ON
the public streets, but slightly thinner
and more carewOrn than before the de-
ceased member of his family revisited
his old home. The municipal legisla--
ton is nOticeably impeded by this un-
expected unearthly contrctcmpt8. We
await further developments with pain

When was in Washington about two
months ago, 1 had it from an authority
inside the Ku-Klux Klan-onc who had
a right to spcak-thst their organization
was SO perfect, there could not be one
crime committed in any single South
ern State, where, if the Government
trusted to its punishment by the tribu-

can utterly defeat and defy civil war.
And the moral which these repentant
lips drew for me, from his own actual
experience, was: 'If you can do Moth
ing with us except by a Judge on a
bench and twelve jurymen in q box, the
effort is absolutely contemplate. We
can sweep the States in utter defiance
of the State Government, if that is the
aim of your method Now 1 believe
that you will find that the evidence be-
fore the Senate Committee amply sup
ports these statements, and that unless
President Grant has made up his mind
to stretch the long arm of his new pow
er into the center of. the Rebel States,
and strangle this rebellion Of assassins,
he will never have success; and when I
say that am only repeating the utter
anees of the counselor who stands near
est to the right hand of the President /,
1 am only repeating what the man says
whose opportunities are the largest to
investigate the facts-whose political in
sight is the keenest to discover them;
that if Congress had adjourned without
giving General Grant even the limited
power which he has to-day, and had
left US to meet the 1st day of Decem Der
as we stood on the 1st day of March,
there never would have been Repub-
can successor to General Grant in the
White House. Now, 1 want General
Grant to go down into Georgia and
South Carolina, and not arrest two
men, such as the telegraph told US were
arrested the other day, of disreputable
character. want him to go down and
arrest some ex-General, who counts his
acres by thousands, numbers his wealth
by millions, and stands possessed Of the
loving admiration Of half the South.
want him to track him to his lair in his
nest Ofassassins, and arrest him at mid
night, try him before daylight, and
hang him before the sun is an hour
high. When this is done you will nev-
er hear Of the Ku-Klux again-exeept
in the nursery legend. But if this is
not done that power will enter the
White House, and you will have the
war to fight over again.

Sir John Frederick William Herschel,
The eminent astronomer, died yesterday
in his 8lst year. He was born at Slough,
England, in 1890, and was the only son
of Sir William Herschel. He graduated
at st. Johns College, Cambridge, and in
1913 became Senior Wrangler and
Smiths prizeman. His whole life was
devoted to science. In 1926 he made
his first astronomical observations. He
published in 1880 the the measurements
of l ,236 stars, and during the next ten
years issued various treatises, and made
his celebrated journey 10 the Cape Of
Good Hope. He devoted four years
there to the observation of the celestial
phenomena of the southern hemisphere.
In 1S47 the results of his observations
were published. In 1912 he was elected
Loed Rector of Marischal College, Aber-
deen,l and in 1850 published his well
known Outlines of Astronomy In
1850 he was appointed Master Of the
Mint, which Office he resigned in 1855.
The past fifteen years Of his life were
spent in retirement, but he retained to
the last his interest in scientific re-
seareh.-Erchange.

Marriage.
An old rhymer thus answers which is
the best day to marry:


Monday for wealth;
Tuesday for health;
Wednesday the best day OF sll;
Thursday for crosses;
Friday for losses;
Saturday no luck at all.
Another writer says: Young ladies
should abstain from listening to any one
whose surname begins with the same
letter as their own
To change the name and not the letter,
Is a change for the worse, and not the better.
And they would do well to take the
precautiOn Of placing their initials in
conjunction with those of any admirer
they incline to favor, and ask, like
MalvOliO, What should that alphabet
cal position portendg for if, of the uni
ted initials, any word can be formed,
they may be certain the owners of them
will never be happy together.
1t is an unhappy omen for wedding
to be put off when the day has once
been fixed. In Sweden it is believed
much harm will ensue if a bridegroom
stands at the junction of crossroads, or
beside closed gate, upon his wedding
morn. 1t is a bad sign if the bride fails
to shed tears on the happy day, or if
she INDUCES herself by taking a last ad-
miring glance at the lOoking-glass after
her toilet is completed; but she may
crafty her vanity without danger, if
she leaves one hand unglOved until be-
yOnd temptation.
The custom of throwing shoes after q
newly-wedded couple, for luck, is a
very old one. In the Isle of Man, the
shoe is thrown after the bride and BRIDE
groom as they leave their respective
abodes; but the ceremony is generally
performed elsewhere, upon the depart
ure of the hero and heroine of the day
for the honeymoon trip. In some parts
Of Kent, the shoe-thrOwing does not
take place until after they have gone,
when the single ladies range themselves
in one line, and the bachelors range
themselves in another. An old shoe is
then thrown as far as the thrOwer's
strength permits, and the ladies race af-
ter it, the winner being rewarded by the
assurance that she will be married be-
fore any other rivals. She then throws
the shoe at the gentlemen, the one she
hits laying the same pleasing unctiOn to
his heart. Something like this is prac-
ticed, too, in Yorkshire and Scotland.
In Germany it used TO be the rule for
the bride, as she was being conducted
to her chamber, to take off her shoe
and throw it among the guests, who
battle for its possession, the successful
he or she being held destined to be
speedily married and settled.

Speaking Us. Writing.
The truest test Of mans brains is to
put pen in his hand. Take from the
popular orator the excited crowd, the
roar Of his own voice, the glare of lights
and the music, and what, in nine cases
out of ten, will be left? This was a
cruel test, and it will come, if the poll
tician is pinned down TO the reporter,
and forced to utter things to be read
and not heard.
William NJ. Cory, Of the Con1Dponer,
when a member of the Ohio Legisla-
ture, established the Tribune. He. got
the deluded members to consent that,
when one spoke he should go, in French
style, to the Clerks desk, under the
Speaker, and address the House. It at
once killed OF two-thirds Of the takers.

note of preparation, il he had really
