'Is there anything SO delightful as the
female voice ?" said Mr.. Potter as he
leaned against the fence of a neighboring
widow and listened to her warbing voice.
Just as he was casting his eyes heaven
ward in an ecstacy of bliss, from the gal
Iery of Potter mansion came in "a shrill
falsetto, YOU'D better come, old man,
this minute, or | II sing song worth two
of that" "Alas," muttered the old gen
tleman, show nature has attuned her
lutes in different chords, and he left the
fence sadly.

4 Ghost IN Elkto,s,

From the Elkton Democrat
All Elkton, white and colored, turned
out Thursday evening to attend perfor-
nance of the goblin whistle at the bone
mill. 1t was known that the mill had not
been running for abont three weeks, and
presunable there was no steam in the
boiler. Yet about eight o'clock of said
evening that low, mournful whistle, which
had struck terror into the hearts OF ghost
fearers, was renewed, and continued till
half-past nine. What could it be? How
could 1t be? The darkies were dazed, and
the white folks puzzled. Every moment
the crowd on the wharf swelled until the
scene was full of ghostly life. At times, in
the midst of the signing, knocks could be
distinctly heard, and q runbling sound in
side. Two colored men, made desperate BY
fear, offered to enter the building, but were
refused permission unless they would spend
the night. This of course the terror.
stricken declined, and the ball went on
The sequel proved that slight fire had
been kindled for the purpose Of blowing out
the boiler, and the mischievous engineer
was responsible for the rest.

Rene and the Pope.

By the American Press Association.
ROME April 29.-Further information has
been obtained respecting a recent confer
euce between the representatives of some Of
the great Powers, and several influential
members of the Sacred College, with the
view Of ascertaining the best means of ending
the conflict between the Church and various
States; 1t appears that an allusion was
made to the possibility. In the event of a
vacancy occurring in the election of Pope
favorable to conciliatory policy, the Car
dinal responded to the continued excellence
Of the Pope's health, and the consequent
impossibility of speedy vacancy. In con-
clusion they stated that the respective gov
ernmets would be convinced that consider
ing the universal amity of the Catholic
Church, the future policy would in no wise
alter the present policy.

NEW YORK, April 30.-The Hsrald, Wash
ington special says: Blaine's explanation
last Monday was complete and satisfactory
20 far as the charges 1t discusses are con-
cerned, but there was one matter omitted
Of which its hardly conceivable that Blaine
Is ignorant of it. 1t is said he has long
held interest in the K. P. R. R. years ago,
and he received certain bonds of that road
from Joseph B Stewart, Washington At
torney. The Herald intimates that there
were some features connected with the
transaction which Blaine prefers to have
kept secret. A. G. Riddle, former part
ner of Stewart, is said to have know
ledge of the facts of the case. Senator
Morton pronounces the statement that he
had fully accounted for, $3.50, 900, received
during the war from the United States
Government for arming and equiping SOL
diers, is false and villianous. He exhibits
original papers and receipts of the Govern
ment with that of the aAount SO charged
against him and advanced by Secretary
Stanton. He turned into the Treasury
$116, ,697, unexpended and voucher cover
ing the claim OF the State of Indiana for
moneys expended by him as the Govern
ment audited and acknowledged correct to
the account of $133 ,302.91, which adjusts
the total Indebtedness of $3.50 200. 1t is
understood he will make full statement
of affairs during the coming week, and dis
close the early Of the State Of Indiana, dur
ing the war, which he says will not be com
plimentary to Representative Spainger.
