A CHRISTMAS GHOsT.-A Christmas
ghost ought not to keep on its rounds
long after tho holidays, for as soon as ne
becomes chronic nuisance, the LONDON
detectives viii! be sent for and the nghts
will be turned ON. About fifty years ago
the Hall, romantic old place ON the Dor
ders of the Yorkshire moors, was popu-
larly supposed to be haunted, and every
we'll. regulated and public-spirited resi-.
dent of Storrs had seen spook or TWO OF
high or low degree, in dress or undress.
Last Christmas there was revival OF the
supernatural visitations. Mysterious rap
ninvs were heard; doors were thrown
omen. windows were broken; strange
sounds were heard; and the hair OF the
peivhborhood stood on end. The house
hold of the Hall were scared out OF their
wits. Servants, armed with Pitcniofhs,
lay in wait for the goblins, and whenever
mysterious knock was heard NJ the ooor'
they sailed forth to transfx the uncanny
visitors: but they only beat the air Tor
their mains. The holidays passed, and
the ghosts were etill making night hide
Gus. when the lady of the manse sent Tor
guard of police. The detectives soon
unrayelled the mystery. A mischievous
little handmaid, fourteen years old, ~ss
the only ghost on the premises. She had
frightened one of the farm servants BY
r.pping at the door Of the barn .asa nc he
Vas milking . COW, and the success. o.
her trick had encouraged her 10 scare the
whole neighborhccd; and % eoolly and
xarily had she played her part, that not
. single member of the hssuseeeid sss-
pscsed her.

The will of Peter the Great.

Russia having inaugurated the war pro-
fessedly as a holy crusade to protect the
Bulgarian Christians from Turkish atroci-
ties, has slowly developed her real inten.
tions of conquest until the traditional
policy Of the Cars since Peter the Great
is apparent. 1t is to extend Bulgaria
nearly or entirely to the Egean Sea, to
take Constantinople and control the ap-
proaches from the Mediterranean through
the automatic order of her victim; to in.
tcrpose Panslavism from the Danube to
the Egean, and thus disintegrato the
Austro- Hungarian Empire; to master all
Eastern Europe and ITS water outlets; to
control the entire circumference OF the
Euxine Sea; to rule Asia Minor and die
tate to Persia; and finally, as a conse.
quence of all this gigantic plan, to push
her power to the very borders of India.
1t is most natural that when the masses
of the English people began to feel the
Cars intention, with the development OF
the war, the Christian sympathy for the
Bulgarians, which was invoked by Glad
stone and ridiculed by Beaconsfield, gave
way in popular outburst to the stronger
feeling for English interest, while the
conviction of certain surreptitiousness
and tortuous oh canery in Russia's policy
strikes the hardy honesty OF the Brlton
with indignation and contempt.
In placing her fleet in the Sea Of Mar
mora, England seems to rely on Austria
cooperation. 1t would certainly be of
vital importance, for, though the English
ironclads should occupy the Black Sea,
as we'll rs the Sea of Msrmora, the COM
muhication might at any time bs cut on
by torpedoes aud the fleet left isolated ;
whereas, if Austria attacked the Russian
line of communication by land, the fleet
would destroy her communication by sea
from Odessa, and then, even with Eng
lands present inferiority in land forces,
she would have the advantage.
To seize Gallipoli, which is the south
ern key to Constantinople, would certain
ly be Eugland's first move.
In view of the development OF Russia .
purpose of ultimate conquest, it seems
that England now stands in the face OF
an alternative which holds her future
DESTINY: either she must stop the advance
Of the Czar upon the East, or else con.
ten, herself with . gradual yielding al
her cwnership and Influence in India
The Capital.

Whenever and Wherever

Diseases of choleraic type prevail, or there is cause to apprehend visit from them, the system should be toned, regu- lated and reinforced by q course Of Hostetter's Stomach Bittsrs. Perfect digestion and a regular habit of body are the best saseguards against such maladies, and both are secured by this inestimable tonic and alterative. The Bitters are also extremely serviceable in remedying such disorders. If promptly taken in bilious colic,. diar- rhea and cholera morbus, the disease is usually frustrated. In diarrhea cases, it is only necessary to restore the tone of the relaxed bowels, and this is one of the specific effects of this niedi- cine. Wind on the stomach, heartburn, billiousness, nausea, headache, and other symptomps of disturbance ill the gastric and hepatic regions are also speedily relieved by this excellent rem edy. As family medicine 1t is inval- uable, since it promptly and complete ly remedies those ailments which are of most frequent occurrence.

Col. Guntcr.

The Washington correspondent of the Press, published at Towanda, Penn., thus writes about our repre- sentative:
 s.As hard worker, the conscien- tious Chairman of a Committee = that on Private Land Claims--pecul- iarly liable to the raids and impor- tunities of the speculator, and as the yigilant, tiresome guardian of the interests of the citizens of the 4th Arkansas district, Hon. T. M. Gun ter, has earned a lasting reputation and few members of the 43d, 44th or 45th Congress are in greater request in emergencies where sound judg- ment and a high grade of practical common sense is required. The re- tirement of such men is a positive loss to the party and to the country at large"

A Missouri editor and Missouri lawyer differed as to some points of honor between them, and the editor lodged ball in the lawyers bread basket and the lawyer returned the compliment by planting lead mine in the editors hip. The village un- dertaker furnished pair of splendid silver mounted collins. The dual deceased presented respecta ble appearance; both hearses were new; and the grief shown by the two families was exhibited at the right time in the funefal sermon, and in fact everything passed off with noth- ing to marr the beauty and loveli- ness of the occaslop-and the Mis- souri people, including the editors of the Globe Democrat, are satisfied that the whole thing reflected honor and credit to the country.-Arkan- saw Traveller. 8r

Common Sense.

Many imagine all advertised medicines to be worthless nostrums, and indlscrimlnately condemn them :; but is it not an injustice to the thousands of respectable citizens who give voluntary evidence of ben efits received, to thus question and doubt their yeracity and integrity? Fairbanks standard scales are ex- tensively advertised. Does it nec- essarily follow that they are inferior in make, and less accurate than others? Have they not been dem- onstrated to be among the best? Again, is it common sense to sup pose that a physlcian with capital could be induced to hazard it and a hard earned reputation upon worth less article? R. V. Pierce, M. D., of the Worlds Dispensary and Inva- Ids Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., is the pro- prietor of the most popular family medicines in the market. His repu- tation as sklllful surgeon and phy- sician has been fully established for many years Would physicians and clergy, after having tested his med icines thoroughly, unite in commend ing them to the afflicted, if they pos sessed no merit? The undersigned take pleasure in recommending Dr. Pierce and his Family Medicines to all who may need them:

Little Rock & Ft. Smith Railroad
 Grant of Lanns.

The following letter from w. D. Slack, Land Commissioner of the Fort Smith Railroad Company, con- veys important and interesting in- formation to all who have purchased or contemplate purchasing, lands from this Company. There IS no doubt about the title:
 LITTLE RocK & FT. SMITH RAILwAY,l LITTLE ROCK, ARK June 20, IFS.
 Inasmuch as reports have been generally circulated to the effect that the land grant of this Company had been or was about to be declared forfeited by the Congress just. ad- journed, 1 desire to state, upon au- thority, that the Land Committee of the House of Representatives, who had the subject of declaring forfeited certain land grants made TO OTHER RAILROADS. became satisfied that this Company had earned the title to all its grant, and struck out from the grant all provisions relating to this Company. -
 All persons who have already pur- chased, or contemplate purchasing, any lands of the Little Rock and |
 Fort Smith Railway, can rest assur- ed that no forfeiture has been or will be declared, and can feel entire ly secure in the Company's title.
