A RUSSIAN GHOST STORY.

In certain village-so the story goes
there was girl who hated work, but
loved gossip. So she never spun herself,
but used to invite the other girls to her
house, where she feasted them and they
spun for her. During one of these spin
ning feasts dispute arose as to which Of
the party was the boldest,
lazy bones.
"Well, then," said the spinners, If
you're not afraid. 60 through the grave.
yard into the church, take down the Holv
Picture from the door, and bring It here.S
Very good" said she. "rIl bring II.
only each Of you must spin me q distaff
full" =
Well she went to the church, took down
the picture, and brought it home with her.
But then the picture was to be taken back
again, and the midnight hour had arrived.
Who was to take it ?'' sasa
go on spinning, you girls said the
lazy bones. ''I'll take it back myself
I'm not afraid of anythingm
So she went back to the church and re-
placed the picture. As she passed through
the graveyard on her return, she saw a
corpse in white shroud sitting on o tomb.
1t was moonlight night, and everything
was visible. She went up to the corpse
and pulled its shroud off. Cts hour for
stirring hadn't arrived, perhaps.) Then
she went home, carrying the shroud with
her
After supper, when everybody had gone
to bed, all of sudden the corpse tapped
at the window, saying, "Give me my
shroud" The other girls were frightened
out OF their wits. But the lazy bones
.ook the shroud, opened the window and
said:
There. take it ~
"No," replied the corpse, take it to
the place you took it from"
Just then cock crowed; the corpse
vanished.
Next night, at the same hour, after the
spinners had gone to their BONES, the
corpse came back again, tapped At the
window, and cried:
Give me my shroud p
Well, the girls father and mother
opened the window and offered the
corpse its shroud; but it cried:
mo! Let her carry it back to the place
she took it FROM"
Just then the cocks began to crow--the
corpse disappeared.
Next day they sent for the priest and
told him the whole story, and implored
him to help them. The priest rejected
awhile, then told the girl to come to mass
next day. So in the morning she went to
mass. The service began. Numbers of
people came to it. But just as they were
going to sing the 'Cherubim Song" =
terrible whirlwind arose. And straight.
way the girl disappeared from sight;
nothing was ever found of her except her
back hair.

ENGLANDS PROSPECT.

The prospect for England i'll the event
of repudiating the treaty of Washington
and provoking war with the United States
cannot be a subject of pleasant contem-
plation to British statesmen The refusal
to abide by the decision of the joint High
Commission after becoming Il party to the
treaty would sink the national credit in
the estimation of the world. 1t would be
n breach of faith that all other nations
would feel compelled to denoWce. The
stigma of nationa, perfily would be indel-
IDLY fixed upon the government. There
would be no sufficient apology for with
drawal. The government engaged in the
treaty with its eyes open. The American
lease" has nothing in it which has not
been openly discussed and freely claimed
in the speeches of Congressman and the
columns of our newspapers. TO urge
that any unexpected claims are presented
would be to confess ignorance of what has
been open to all who read the press Of
either country.
And if the United States were Il nation
greedy for power, conquest, and domin-
ion, what better opportunity could the
government ask to extend its area and
sway than a war with Englando There
can be no doubt that war with Britain,
viewed solely with regard to the gains
and losses Of power and material wealth,
has no dread for uS as a people, but is
absolutely tempting, and only kept in
check by our love OF peace and disposition
to be contented with what we have. But
short time would pass after the declara-
ton Of war, before our dag would be
waving over every stronghold in British
America. The interests of the people
there incline them to annexation Then
connection with England is forced and
unnatural. War would give them 4
chance to break the shackles which bind
them to the old country, and Join their for
tunes with the new, toward which they
naturally grayitate. England would find
them secretly and ut heart opposed to her.
Loyalty and prejudice might hold some to
her, but with the great mass, sell-intercst
would perdominate and turn the scale in
the other direction. Then all tariff, fish
cry and boundary questions would be set
tied forever, and we should be one people
from the frozen regions to the Gulf.
There would also be advantages in our
favor upon the seas that would probably
equal those upon land. The commerce OF
England would be fatally crippled. Our
flag would resume its former Importance
upon the ocean. We should become the
first maritime nation in the world
This is the prospect which England has
before her in inviting war with this coun-
try. 1t is very safe to predict that the war
fever will not last long. 1t mag compel a
change in the ministry, but if Disraeli SUI
pcrsedes Gladstone the former dare not
provoke hostilities with this country. War
with the United States is the last step that
any British minister will sincerely favor il
he has any regard for his reputation or
country.

Just to show how the peoples
money goes, and where it goes,
let US refer to the internal reven-
lie collections for the State of
Maine. 1t appears that the ac-
tual receipts OF revenue in the
entire state amount to $53,622 SO,
to collect which it costs in salar-
les to Government officials $751;
900, leaving Uncle Sam the in<
significant sun of $20,632,83.-
This is a pretty showing, isn't
IT? Maine is not the only state
where such abuses prevail. 1t is
the same in almost every state in
the Union; and such facts ex-
plain where the peoples money
goes and who pocket it.

The EGaO Regulating The
Fees Of ERe GECs'E.

For the benefit of the many
persons of both parties who have
been ENDURING about the Law
regulating the Fees of the Clerk,
we would say that the section
setting for the amount that shall
be charged is very lengthy, and
more than We care about pub
fishing at present, but it is very
plain SO that no Clerk could pos
sibly be ignorant of what he is
justly entitled to for his labor
Below we give the penalty pre-
scribed for every one who is
guilty of over-charges. 1t was
passed April, IS, 1865, and IS en-
titled San act to regulate the fees
of Clerks Of Court of Common
Pleas" Section 16, is as follows:
ACT OF APRIL ID, 1866.

And 1T shall be unlawful for
any Clerk of any of the Courts
of this State to charge or receive

compensation for the discharge
Of any duties of his Office than
are allowed by law, and if any
such unlawful fees shall be charg-
ed and taken or received, the

the same, shall be liable to

Our Grant friends are fond of

and asking Democrats with won
dcrment how they can bring
themselves to support "a lifelong
political antagonist. They pro-
fess to be deeply Mortified at such
an idea. But what did they do
In 1868 but support and elect for
President a man who, so far a.
he was capable of political senti-
ment, had always been opposed
