At any rate, believe i'll my father, and

late NV father resided at Ipswich, and
once had occasion to go to London on
business. 1t was during period of
great popular commotion, and the city
being very full, he had some trouble in
finding IL lodging. The master of the
house observed that it was good, large
room-for he could get but one-and
quite comfortable if he did not mind
but there he stopped, for his wife gave
him nudge. That made my father
suspect something was not quite right

Well, he took possession of the room
and before night closed in he had an op-
portunity of taking an accurate survey
Of the neighboring premises. lead
roof, apparently over Il workshop, lay
between his window and that one where
the ghost was said to appear; only there
was this difference, that he could easily
step out OF his upon the leads, whereas
the neighbors was about nine or ten
feet higher. My father always vowed
that he was perfectly sober when he
went to bed. lie couldn't tell how long
he had been asleep. when he was sud
denly awakened by loud screams; aud
when he opened his eyes, he Saw that
the opposite house was on fire. He
was out on the leads i'll 4 moment. The
haunted room was filled with bright
flames. and at the window stood a lovely
young woman, clasping a baby IN her
arms, and screaming for help.

McDONALD'S ILLNESS.
Especial to the st. Louis Times.l

JEFFERSON CITY, Oct 14.-I have just
returned from the penitentiary. Gen.
Mcdonald is comparatively easy, hav-
ing slept three or four hours last night.
He is suffering from complication of
diseases. and the attending physicians
say that it is hardly possible that he will
recover. When l telegraphed you last
night it was thought that he would not
be alive this morning. He suffered ter
ribly, and at one time was thought to be
dying His wonderful nerve alone has
kept him alive so long. At his particu-
lar request Joyce was sent for when he
was seized with dangerous symptoms,
and has been with him ever since. Joyce
is much affected, and actually takes it
harder than Mcdonald. Last night, OBJ
serving the attendants whispering omin
ously, Mcdonald burst out, Il know
what you are talking about. You pro-
p sc to send tor my family, but l don't
want it done. won't have a scene.
Joyce. you never went back on me in
| your life, and as the last favor l shall
probably ever ask of you, l implore you
not to send Tor any member of my
family" Observing the deputy warden
present, Mcdonald continued, Capt
Bradbury, l suppose the Jig is about up
with me, and ! will soon step down and
out for good. but when you send a man
here with tape line, you tell him he is
measuring mnn." The selfcontrol
and iron nerve of Mcdonald, when suf-
tering such horrible agony, are truly
| wonderful,

The more the "solid south" is talked
about the more significant does the
phrase become. This bit of fresh light
upon it is thrown by the southern CORE
spondent of the Cincinnati Commercial:
"Behold what great power negro suf-
frage has given to the south! 1t has in
creased their representation so largely
that. with the aid of New York, Connec-
ticut and California. tor instance, they
can control Legislation. elect the presi-
dent, and administer the government
machine as they see fit. The rest OF the
United States may whistle. The solid
south and the three states named will be
the government in all that the term inn
plies. The far-seeing men in the south.
or those esteemed as far-seeing, de-
clare that nothing can prevent the south
from having controlling voice in the
government but the disfranchlsement of
the blacks. And they argue that this
will be the next great question which
will agitate the country. the north con-
tending for black disfranchisement, in
order to keep the south from running
the government. 1t is plain, very plain,
that the blacks will be made subservient
to the whites in every southern state.
and that so far from enabling the north
