Spirit Child.

There's a school-marp down East,
who has a phantom scholar, you've all
heard about. But a Southern lady was
in this city last week who has a spirit
baby. Four months ago she lost child
of five months. She is a delicate, fragile
creature, and the loss of her baby nearly
killed her. Four days after the little
creatures death. and just at dusk, she
became aware of something pulling at
her dress, and there was her little baby
back upon her bosom. From that time
to this the baby comes back to be nursed
as the evening shadows fall. She can
not see it, but she feels it's little hands
padding about, as a baby's will, and
those around her can see her dress dis
arranged, her collar pulled, and the in
d~entations on her bosom made by the
invisible fingers of the spirit baby. Her
physician is staggered. There is no al
teration in her physical condition
everything goes IN as if she was nour-
ishing a living child. The lady is not a
spirituahst, is excessively refined and
aristocratic, and she shrinks from max
ing the phenomena public, but every
night she cradles in her arms her lntan'
gible baby. She feels it's unseen mouth
warm against her, and she bends with
bitter tears above the invisible little
visitant. 1t is not a desirable posses
sion, and I should advise her to wean il
as soon as possible.-NeaO York Letter

4 New Account of the Burr-HamiitOn
Duel.

The Hartford Courant publishes the
following interesting extract from the
advance sheets of an account of the
life of James Williams, the old negro
%janitor of Trinity College:
"Prof. Jim was the slave of Col.
hobart, a retired Revolutionary officer,
living in Yonkers, N. Y. Aaron Burr
was a frequent visitor at Col. Ro-
bart's house, and q room was always
ready for him, as he might stop at any
time on his way from Albany to New
York and back again. The establish
ment of Burr seems to have made a
strong impression on Prof. Jim's mind,
and he describes with admiring tones
the enormous carriage drawn by six
horses, and the retinue of outriders and
footmen which always accompanied him.
Burr himself Jim describes as a short,
rough and ugly man, who swore and
cursed constantly, but who In ladies'
society was very polite and exquisite.
At the time of the duel between Burr
and Hamilton, Jim was at work in the
fields at mail time, and his mother was
sent on horseback for the batch of pa
pers which was due. She gave the let

read the first one he had opened, when,
all hurry and excitement, he shouted.
Get a room ready quick, for that little
devil is comingr' When afterward he
learned that Hamilton had been killed
in the duel the excitement only in
creased.
"Now Jim says: Burr went first to
his own home in New York, near the old
State Prison, on West Broadway. The
next day, between and 4 in the after
noon, as we were putting up a new yard
fence, there appeared a great cloud OF
dust away down the road. Some one
said that it was somebody riding, fol
the day was so quiet it could not be the
wind. BY and by a man came up anC

bowed down. He caught right held O
my masters hand and they went int
the house, and we didn't see him again
till the next evening. The day tina
Hamilton was buried was a bad day TO
him, and he didn't eat any dinner no
go out for his walk aieng the river, blu
he walked to and fro along the corrido

We could hear the funeral guns sound
ing up from New York. Burr kept hi
servant in the room with him night an
day, and he had a case of pistols and
sword in his room with him. He stage

ticed a good deal at target shootin

The Wheat Crop.

The following is a summary of the condition
of the winter wheat, issued from the Agricul-
tural Department On the first week of April
a considerable portion of the northern belt of
the winter wheat area was covered with SNOW.
The condition of that visible gave promise of
general exemption from winter injury, leaving
the crop subject to the meteorological vicissi-
tudes of April. In the middle States, a great
improvement upon the showing of last spring
is everywhere conceded, especially in New Jer-
sey and Pennsylvania. The prospect of the
States south of Maryland is less favorable
than last year, and there are indications of a
diminishing area in the cotton States, although
the acreage is not intended to be given in this
report. Michigan, the only State in the
northern border in which winter wheat is
mainly grown, presents a green and vigorous
growth where the snow has disappeared to re-
veal it. and Ohio makes far more favorable re-
turns than last year.
In Kentucky, a more checkered showing is
made, giving the present appearance a de-
cidedly unfavorable cast, with indications Of
future Improvement as the weather becomes
settled. In Indiana and Illinois, the u~nfayor-
able return o~utnumbered the rose-colored.
The dry autumn retarded seeding and germi-
nation, and left the plants too weak and shall
low-rooted to endure well the effects of the
winters change of temperature. Similar
causes affect the condition of wheat in Mis-
is reported, and q still more favorable con-
| dition exists in Kansas. In Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Iowa, and Nebraska, as far as known,
very little winter wheat is produced, but full
reports are given of such experiments. The
Indications from California all point to an
other year of great abundance, scarcely a
county reporting an unfavorable condition
As a whole, the wheat prospect at the close OF
the winter is more favorable than at the same
date in 1870

his removal. It is openly charged that he was
cognizant of the exactions. The Vienna
Presse alleges that large sums were paid to the
suspended Commissioners before leaving
America, by a number of large firms, for va

on pretext of a subscription for erection of a
model school-house, and the Presse ironically
remarks: "They bus exhibit the fruits of

Bible Revision.

We learn from recent publications
that the work of revising the English
version of the Old and New Testaments
is going on well. The task has been
portioned out among the several eminent
scholars on both sides of the Atlantic,
according to their special attainments,
but will be supervised by all. It is in
tended that the improvements sought
to be secured shall not impair the ldiom
and beauty, or destroy the sacred asso-
Citations of the authorized version. They
are reduced to eight heads-the text,
errors, inaccuracies, inconsistencies,
archaisms, proper names, accessories,
and arrangement. The "errors to be
corrected are said to be very numerous,
some of them misprints, such as Strain
at Gnstead of out a gnat ; errors OF
grammar, such as cherubinas for cheru-
bina or cherubs, and, most frequently,
mistranslations, such as "by (instead of
to) them of old time" "baptizing them
IN (instead of into) the name. The
other heads upon which these learned
committees are engaged could only be
illustrated by instances which would
take up much more space than we could
spare. The work of revision will prob
ably require some years, although we
have seen no estimate as to that. Of
the result DIR. Schaf says When the
whole shall be completed, it will go
to the English-speaking churches for
their adoption or rejection. By Its "
merits it will stand or fall. We firmly
believe that it viii gradually take the
place of the authorized version.

A MICHIGAN man has invented a
unique, poetical, and, to his mind, emil
nently practical mode of travelling on
horseback. His idea is to construct a
c~one-shaped balloon, which is to be laid
lengthwise upon a horses back. The
animal and rider are then to be weighed,
and the balloon to be filed with just gas
enough to lift all but a few pounds
weight of horse and rider from the earth,
in order that the frisky Pegasus may
have nothing to do but go ahead. The
possible speed of such a continuance is
as yet beyond conjecture.

Frances Troubles.

The Bonapartist press now openly de-
clares that the evacuation of France by
the Germans will be the signal for the
opening of the campaign to restore the
Empire. 1t has only been from patriotic
motives that the party has so long de-
layed action only for this reason it re-
inforced the Conservative ranks, and re-
Trained from every opposition to the
existing government. But as soon as
the last German soldier leaves the soil
of France the armistice will end. 1t
was the mission of the Bonapartist
party to restore, with the aid of the
nation, the throne of the Napeleonic
dynasty, and it will never cease for a
moment to agitate with all legal means
in its power. until France has volun-
tarily recalled a Napoleon, the heir of
the modern monarchy and the repre-
sentative of the plebiscite. Nor are the
Radicals idle. They have raised the
war cry. Immediate dissolution, uni
yersal amnesty, a repeal Of the state of
siege, and a definite proclamation of the
Republic. All these are SO many alarums
which depress the funds and brighten
the Parisians. On the one side Impe-
rialism, on the other democracy, and in
the midst Theirs. Under these circum-
stances it is hardly to be expected that
the prospects OF the country should i'm
prove with the new departure of the
Germans. On the contrary, the look.
out darkens, because the French poll
ticians can do nothing better than te
quarrel among themselves. A portion
of the Monarchists enlist themselves
under the banners of the Conservative
Republic, because they hope thereby t.
be successful in the coming genera
elections. The Legitimists, however
decline to follow this example, ant
hence we see a serious split in the bull
Of the party. There seems but on,
thing upon which all the political partie
in France are agreed that is, to put of
the dissolution of the Assembly as Ions
as possible.

Distribution of Woman's Work in the
United States.

One of the most interesting results of
the census is the information given con
corning the many and varied occupa-
tons followed by the working women of
the country. When we read that there
are five steam-boiler makers and three
bell-founders among them, we are only
a little less surprised than when we are
informed that two are hostlers, and two
hunters and trappers. In the entire
female population there is one architect,
one pilot, and one oil-well operator
special cases of isolation which deserve
attention. The following table shows
the distribution of the employments of
the women of the country, and also the
numbers engaged in each special occu-
patton:
