A Nautical Ghost.
The San Francisco Chronicle Of yes

The San Francisco Chronicle Of yes
terdsy tells the following:
? The steamer Moses Taylor arrived a
few.daysago from Honolulu. Among
the passengers was an exceedingly
lively ghost, who, according to some
Of the crew, made things very warm
In the tlre-room aud other parts of the
ship. One of the men has written to
the Clroaicle aIfull account Of the do.
ings OF this Singular parsonage. He
says that every afternoon at four bells
10 o'clock during the voyage, hands
full Of ''siack" coal were thrown by
some Invisible hand in the faces Of the
tiremen and coal-passers aud all who
happened to be In the tire.room at that
hour. In passing the open doors OF
the Goa. bunker the dust was thrown
at the tiremsn with such force as to
almost blind them. Frequently the
lights were blown out and then the
sound ofivoices would be heard under
the floor of the fire-room, In the boilers
aud coal-bunkers, and also In the
midst OF the machinery. At times
when the men would DO going on
watch they would miss the coal SHOW
els, and on searching they would find
them buried In The coal ten feet deep.
There were also noises as Of some M
scaling" the boilers, sometimes un-
der the plates OF the 'fire-room aud in
side the boilers themselves. In fact,
every day at the hour namei there was
\ perfect pandemanlum. a . ?
: Our Informant says he knows Of no
reason Tor these demonstrations except
1t be that the spirits of the six tiremen
who were killed OF board the Taylor
some years ago, by the blowing out Of
a iiue, >hayes come back to torment
their successors. He says there is con-
siderable excitement among the crew,
aud IL Is probable that many will re-
luse to 20 out again In the ship.

Senator Stewart and Money influence

It Is reported that recently Senator
Stewart said. while In the act Of de-
fending Senator Caldwell, that 1.-THE
time would come, II this thing goes on.
when It would be regarded as improper
for a candidate to use money In pro-
curing . seat In the Senate, or promise
Office or offer other inducements to this
end" II the Senator be not entirely
impervious to public opinion. he would
see strong evidences that the day has
come, aud now Il when this sort Of
corruption IA looked upon as unfash-
ionabie among honest people. and that
ereu in his own State OF Nevada his
loose IDEAS on this subject are moi rel
ished, and that his return to the Senate
IA regarded as impossible. The New
YORK Times we'll answers the hard
crusted politician when it says: Two
beg to inform the Senator from Nevada
that the time has come. He may not
have learned it In Washington. It Is
nossibie that no n sent him word OF

Rough April Pooling.

-en Tuesday, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, q young nan named Charles
Miner received . letter at the post Of
fice, purporting to- be from O lady,
asking Mm to come that afternoon 10
ascertaff-hotse on Powell street, and
meet q former acquaintance from Chi
cago, where Miner had lived for sew
eral years. Anticipating much pleas
tuye Siu meeting IaR ldIffIend, Miner
called In the afternoon and rang the
bell at the house indicated In the note.
Hewasr met at the door by an elderly
man, who angrily demanded his busi.
ness. Miner was a little surprised at
the mans manner, but he replied that
hescailed thereto zee a-lady. SSss
"Ah! Come ini She'll be glad to
see you issidttte old man with alma.
licious look.
Miner had, no saouer gotinside the
front door than the old man closed and
rocked it and put the key In his pocket.
Then he pulled out q heavy club from
the, hat-fack and said: "Now you d.
Internal scoundrel.1 | We caught you at
last, have II" With that he piled the
club over Miners head and shoulders
till the latter saw all the stars In the
armament OF heaven. After a half
dozen blows had fallen, the young man
pitched Into his assailant, and. the con-
sequence was that both countsnances
were frighttully dlsfgured. oiiLu aa'A,
Finally Miner made his escape from
tho house, with his face terribly cut
and bleeding at every wound. Hay-
ing got iswouRds dressed at q neigh
boring drug store, he set sail for the
police Office to get a warrant for the,
oldsman'siarrest, but for some reason
postponed the matter until yesterday.
Then the truth Of the matter came out.
1t seems that just about the time that
Miner wasgetting his letter from the
post office. the postman was delivering
one to the old man on Powell street,
telling him to remain at home that
day and he would probably see a man
who was III the habit or calling on his
wife with no good intentions. The
old man 10 horribly jealous, aud this
note was just enough to turn hissoul

Working Precious Ores.

since the discovery ofgoid and silver
bearing ores In the United States,
many devices have been made BY the
introduction of processes to save the
nrecious metals. These experiments
hsve been attended witha greatamodm
of labor and heavy expense. In many
instances the result has proved remu-
neratiye, but no process OF working
ores vet adopted is satisfactory because
of the large percentage Of the metals
lost. Those interested In mining oper-
ations have looked forward to time
when some new and simple treatment
of ores would be discovered which
would save more Of the metals-with
less expense than the methods now
employed. Eastern and fo~reign.capl-
talists who are interested In miping
operations complain that although the
ore assay is large, the work Is not re-
munerative. " % 90.
Ten years ago a merchant and scien-
tiic gentleman Of New York City;
commenced the examination of this
subject by practical experiments, which
resulted In the discovery OF q cheap
and simple process by which rebellious
ores could be made to yield up their
gold and silver at a much less cost than
the usual method Of working. and by
the use of inexpensive materials save
within a fraction Of all metals In the
ores. The ores are ground or pulver-
lied, and a chemical compound added
which destroys the Impurities and the
quicksilver readily gathers the metals.
| The ores are taken In their natural
state. no roasting or burning Is re-
quired and a short time only is neces-
sary for amalgamation. Except BY
earelessness there will be COMPARE:
lively no loss OF the precious metals or
quicksilver. This process has been
thoroughly tested In Colorado, and the
owners ofthe most profitable mines IN
that Territory have adopted 1t. Low
grades Of ores, assaying only IS per
ton, yield 70 per cent. OF the assay. and
ores assaying ia per ton Yield 10 per
cent. The yield Of ores assaying 300
per ton Is frop IS to 90 per cent. The
secret Is In preparing the ores, the me-
chanloal work being very SIMPLE. The
cost of erecting machinery capable Of
working Is tons per day is about $4,000.
The dlscoverer Of this process recently
arrived In San Francisco. where he
will shortly demonstrate Its utility In
working California ores. ,yc

rHs ATLANTIC HORROR.

1t h not to DO wondered at that the
appalling Atlantic horror occupies
the attention Of the press throughout
the country. Seldom or never has 80
great a loss Of life attended . similar
calamity on the coast Of America.
Nearly five hundred mon. women and
Children were drowned. or died from
exposure and exhaustion amid the
roErsng surf or freezing spray on a
rock.bound coast, and all through the
biundeing or incompesency Of some
body, for the steamer was one Of the
stsunohest and most seaworthy vessels
afioat, being considered one Of the bes,
Of the White Star line. For about
thirty years the ship, Of the old
Cunard line have made theil
regular trips across the same
ocean without one ever being lost
owing evidently to better seamanshipo o.
caretulness, and the comparison Is t
the detriment OF Its rival, the White
Star line. May tho terrible experience
Of this great calamity prove Of futur'
benefit 's3o h.

SIGNS OF A REAL DEsP0T1sM.

A party riding down town in one of the
city cars on Monday might have observed
man get in, two squares from the point
OF departure of the cars, carrying Spen-
Ger rife. A little investigation would have
revealed that the man with the rife had
two big six-shooters buckled on his hips
A little further down two other men en-
tered the cars carrying Spencer rifles and
hiding revolvers. About Magazine Mar
ket three more men entered the car with
guns. The tone of conversation
was not Of a very peaceful cbarac-
ter. The children on the streets said
their " dads had gone to clean
out the Radicals" This was the under
current and the signs that showed it. 4
small squad CT craftsmen stood on a
prominent corner and waited for the row
IL order to ply their trade. The men who
carried the Spencer rifles and the con-
cealed siy-shooters were the ''dads" spoken
Of by the children, and they only kept
their hands of of the Radicals, according
70 their story, because the federal govern
ment had them under its protection.
When it is considered that the Radicals
constitute a majority of the people Of
Louisiana, and that the cleaning out
process means the murder and destruc-
ton of this majority, the fell idea of what
these Spencer guns meant may be realized.
And when it is still further considered
that people who love to trade in peace,
and to hold their goods and moneys free
from the uncertainties of revolutions and
mobs, saw those Spencer rifles and felt
that they meant mischief of the most
deadly sort, including in their horrid
feast the innocent as well as the guilty,
it does not require an active imagination
to suppose that all such traders as those
we have alluded to, picked up their
moneys and fed from the war threatened
town.
and considering that all these murder
GUS men, who had determined to pursue
their plans over the rights Of others, were
restrained Of their guilty deeds by the
United States troops, is it not e. peryersion
of terms to accuse the latter of being des-
pots when, in fact, they are only the
check to despotigm? If it were not for
the United States authorities it would be
unsafe for one-half of the population of
Louisiana 10 be found inside of the State
with it's present opinions, whereas now
any man can stay in the State and hold
ideas that verge even upon the color OF
treason. The difference between what is
and what the Democrats demand is this,
that they shall be authorized to set up q
despotjsm where there is none now.
