Superstition Now.a.dazs.


The Newark Courier says: Verify
they are not all dead yet. The pub
lie will remember the terrible calam-
ity on the Morris and Essex road at
Spring street, about fi'-e years ago,
when a daring engineer, Nate Mich
OILS, lost his life. It occurred on the
10th OF October. Recently some
wag started the story that on the
10th of every month, at midnight, a
spectral locomotive, controlled by
the ghost of Nichols, appears at the
scene of the memorable accident.
The interesting tale Immediately
gained wide circulation, and seems
to have been received with more Gre
dulity than one would suppose possi-
BILE. Yesterday was the 10th of the
month, ana as early as half past
eight o'clock last evening, a score
of superstitious individuals were to
be seen shiveriug on the stoop of
Mr.. Conklin's house, close by the
spot where the tragedy occurred.
The puzzled occupant of the dwell
ing at first suppose that he had been
honored by surprise party, but as
the little group present soon increasd
to hundred, and the people still
fiocked toward the place, his mistake
became apparent. When midnight
came not less than 600 people we're
gathered on the ground to behold
the spectral engine and the spirit at
its lever. Want of space prohibits a
fuller reference to the novel occur
renee. The terrible silence that pre-
vailed when the solemn hour ap-
preached, the steady gaze all fixed
upon the place where the ghost was
expected to appear, and the disap-
pointme2t and subsequent dispers-
ion of the curious six hundred, are
facts which crowded columns make
it impossible for the writer to dwell
upon. The subject is the theme of
conversation up town, and naturally
excites no little interest.
A good part of the story remains
to be told. An employe of the road
who appreciated the occurrence, en-
tered the neighboring engine house,
at the proper moment made the
whistle of one of the engines sound
an unearthly shrek. He repeated
this as long as the little steam in the
engine would permit, with first-class
effect upon the crowd.

The Old Love.

In the year 1850 negro named
Henry Cobb was a slave for plant
er named Cobb, in Tensas parish,
Louisiana. In July of that year the
Ievee broke away and the Mississippi
devasted large share of the planta-
tion. The slave above mentioned
was one of the seven or eight of the
most trusty men on the plantation,
and they we're hired out for the time
being until the levee had been re-
paired and the land put in order to
be worked. Cobb was hired on a
mail packet, and continued there for
three months. One day, when the
boat lay at Vicksburg, alongside a
Cairo packet, he failed to perform a
certain job of work to the satisfac-
ton of the captain, who was determ-
ined on sending HIM ashore and hav-
ing him dressed down" for his neg
ligence. Cobb, greatly frightened,
secreted himself on board the Cairo
boat, and landed in Illinois without
being discovered. He was forward
ed to Detroit by the underground
railroad, and since 1861 has lived at
or near Chatham, Ontario, under the
name Of Hammond. He had been
married three years when he left the
plantation, but knowing that there
was no prospect of getting his wife
away, he married again after settling
at Chatham.
The first wife continued in slavery
for several years, and was living as
a slave at Holly Springs, Missouri,
when the emancipation proclama-
ton freed her. She came north, liv-
ing in Cincinnati, Chicago, and 9th
er places, and two years ago was
married to q colored man named
Samuels, and is the mother of a
child by him. The family came to
this city about seven weeks ago. Sat
urday last, as Mrs. Samuels was at
the City Hall market, a hand was
laid on herarm and she nearly faint
ed away as she turned and saw her
old husband. They sat down on a
bench and talked, laughed and cried
together; until their story was
known to hundred persons. Ham
mond' wife has been ill of consump-
ton for long time, and he was in
Detroit to see q relative of hers.
Just what arrangements the two old
slaves made is not known, but she
abandoned Samuels, her home and
child, on Sunday night, and probab-
ly left for Canada with Hammond,
perhaps to remarry. Mr.. Samuels
had been informed of the meeting on
Saturday, and yesterday when he
told the police that his wife had dis
he declared that he would
not pursue, hardly blaming her if she
had returned to her old love.-De-

Terrible Adventure of Miss Anna
nicIrinsOa

@eS~@@@@NO@-a
Miss Anna Dickinson has had
many curious adventures in keeping
her lecture appointments, but none
funnier than that which occurred in
New Jersey few nights since, as
told by the Jersey City Journal.
She was engaged to lecture at the
Opera house at Newark, and was a
passenger from Jersey City on the
evening train of which one Mr.. Crane
was the "gentlemanly conductor"
She intended to alight at the Mar
ket street depot, but for some unex
planned reason she was taken to
South Broad street, some distance
beyond. "When Mr.. Cranes train
stopped at the station" says the
Journal, she found that the only
way he could get Miss Dickinson
over the swamp which lies between
the track and the street, on which
was horse car, was to take her on
his back and wade through the mud
and quagmire, in some places knee
deep, to dry land. Miss Dickinson
saw there was no help for it,
and covering her face with her
veil to hide her bushes, put
her arms around Mr.. C.'s neck,
which, doubtless, for him, was not
an altogether unpleasant operation,
and left the rest to fate. When half
way through the swamp of dangers,
the conductor called Justify to the
driver of the horse car, which was
about to start to Hhold on" but the
Jehu was hard Of hearing, and so
the harder the conductor yelled the
more energetically the driver lashed
into run his faded steeds. But
we cannot continue this painful
scene Suffice it to say that the
conductor finally yelled 'bloody
murder" that some passengers heard
the cry, and that finally
Miss Dickinson and her
jaded steed were lifted up to dry
land and happiness. "Anna," con
cludes the Journal, "never looked
prettier, smiled sweeter, or delivered
her thoughts in a more musical tone
than she did last Wednesday night
and it was noticed all through the
lecture that her eyes fairly laughed
at the recollection of the funny man
ner in which she was landed in NeE-
| ark.''

The Oneida Indians.

A travelling correspondent of the
Madison Democrat, writing from
Green Bay, says of the Oneidas:
Some twelve or fifteen miles from
Green Bay, on the line of the Green
Bay and Lake Pepin Railroad, in
Brown county, is situated the Oneida
Indian Reservation, which comprises
some sixty thousand acres of the
finest timbered land to be found in
the country. Their advancement so
far in civilization has not been very
fattering, and from present appear
ancas, something must be done to
better their condition, for they can
not long remain as they are. The
law as it is at present makes these
sixty thousand acres the common
property of the tribe, and that is the
bone about which they now quarrel.
The more industrious portion of the
tribe who try to carry on farming
and make some advancement in civ
ilization, find it impossible on this
one account. The timber is bein Q
rapidly cut off by the lazy wander
ing portion of the tribe, and sold,
most of the time for whisky, 1 was
informed often they are cheated out
of it by their white neighbors. The
chiefs have tried to stop this traffic,
but have been unable to do so.
There is division among the whole
tribe, no one being regarded as chief,
but all claiming that honor. There
is no law among them because there
is no power, no power because there
is no unity.
Their present out look is a sal
one. They ale wasting and destroy
ing their own property, with no one
to stop them. They cannot long re
main where they are, for soon they
will SKIN the whole reservation ofalI
the timber, and thereby rob them
selves of their only subsistence.
They will then have to seek some
unknown part of the far west, there
to commence a new life The gov
ernment should listen to the entreat-
les of the majority Of these poor In
diaps to have their lands divided,
for as they are with no allotment of
land, and no law for the punishment
of offenders, their further advance
ment in civilization is impossible.
