Strange and Mysterious.

The residents of the neighborhood of
Middle and County streets in Ports
mouth, Virginia, are greatly excited
over haunted house at that point. Oe-
cupants declare that for month past
they have been annoyed by strange
noises throughout the building, both
day and night. Doors that are firmly
locked are in few moments afterward
opened and slammed by an invisible
agency; knives and forks fly from the
kitchen through the dining room win
dows and rattle on the sideboard; bureau
drawers are emptied, and other strange
freaks are performed by the furniture Of
rooms. a peculiar disturbance is the
frequency with which pairs of scissors
fly about the rooms and stick in the
window frames and mantel- pieces. The
two large windows of the back
dining room have nearly every light
broken by the flying missiles. Those
who occupy the building spoke of the
matter to the neighbors for the first time
Monday, and of course the neighbors are
more or less startled by such strange and
unnatural occurrences.
The house was visited by great num-
Der of people, and many were astonished
with the manifestations that occurred
in their presence. On Tuesday night
the sensation attracted an immense con-
course of people to the vicinity and
caused very serious accident. The
high porch to the house suddenly gave
way under the weight of the throng
upon it and precipitated the whole
crowd in one confused heap to the pave
ment below, distance of ten feet.
The following persons were injured:
Virginius Weston, two ribs broken and
fatally injured internally; John Young,
ankles dislocated; A. Il. Culpepper, legs
crushed; f. j. Nicholson, head and face
cut very badly; Samuel Armstron, side
and knees hurt; Henry Whitehurst,
knee sprained; Bud Cherry, hurt inter-
nally Miss Irving, hurt about the
body; Edward Arlington, arm crushed.

How Country People are Taken In by
Speculation Advertisements.


All fools are not dead yet. In fact,
the breed seems to be on the increase,
both in numbers and intensity. OF the
hundreds of thousands swindled every
where by answering inviting advertise
ments, probably far more money is lost
by those who speculate with advertising
Wall street firms than in any other way.
There are plenty of legitimate bankers
in Wall street, but there is also plenty
of sharks of no standing or responsible
ty. The New York Times says that,
notwithstanding the fact that the
schemes of these fellows have been ex-
posed time and again during the past
five years by the newspapers, the busi-
ness seems to be continually growing,
and every day new "firms" are embark
in it. They nearly all maintain offices
which in fitting up and general appear
ance are not different from those Of
legitimate brokers' They call themselves
bankers and brokers, and there is no
one to gainsay them, such title being
open to any one who chooses to ass ume
it. They are careful, however, not to
represent themselves as members of the
Stock Exchange, and that body is, there
fore, powerless to interpose.
Having established their offices, these.
gentry proceed to advertise largely in.
the country newspapers, detailing the
immense imaginary profits to be made
in Wall street by risking small sums.
Some of them obtain by purchase, from
persons who make speciality of the
business of collection, an incredible
number of addresses of country people
of gullible nature-those who have
bitten at other advertised frauds-and to
such neatly Autographed circulars are
sent offering special inducements.
Many firms publish and distribute
pamphlets, and even so-called news
papers, periodically issued, and filed
with false quotations and market re-
ports, and also imaginary instances of
fortunes made out of nothing. These
are sent broadcast all over the United.
States. The money that they bring in4
is never invested-except, perhaps, on,
the faro table, in the interest of the
swindlers themselves; but the difficulty
of proving the fact can be realized when
it is considered that nothing tangible is
bought or sold.
The constant changes in quotations of
stocks on the regular board, and the in
definiteness of the time allowed to oper-
ate, are also in the swindler's favor, but
he does not depend upon any such linn
ited security. In fact the distinguishing
mark of these stock-speculating frauds
is that they generally have on hand
"pools' or combinations, in which
they offer shares. Legitimate brokers
never under any circumstances make
such offers. Legitimate brokers never
advertise at all, except when they have
special securities for sale for permanent
investment or in general way. They
never advertise special speculations on
margins, and anything of that charac-
ter may, therefore, be set down as q
deliberate fraud,

The Georgia Gold Belt.

The "gold belt" of which the most
productive portion lies at this point,
consists of strip of land running
somewhat irregularly nearly due north
east and southwest across the northern
end of the State. 1t averages about ten
miles in width, and has been traced 200
miles in length, parallel with the Blue
Ridge. White, Lumpkin, and Haber-
sham Counties embrace the richest de-
posits, SO far as now known, but the
limits of mining are gradually widen
ing. The presence of gold here has
been known from the earliest times.
Cherokee Indians were the occupants
of the territory when white settlement
first began, and they were accustomed
to seek the gold for ornamental pur-
poses, and to dispose of it in barter to
less fortunate tribes. Evidences of
their mining still remain, but are in
significant. The methods adopted by
the first white settlers, and in vogue
until recent years, were very rude, con-
sisting merely of washing out the gravel
of the beds of the streams by running it
through sluice-boxes and splint baskets
into a :" gum rocker" which was moth
ing but q split and followed out log a
dozen or so feet in length. While the
water from the sluice-box passed
through this trough from end to end,
the rocker was kept in constant motion,
and the heavy gold, permitted to sink
to the bottom through the constantly
agitated silt, was caught by transverse
cleats, with or without the aid OF mer-

three and four per cent. upon the valua,
ton. The price in some instances
varies during the summer and winter
months. The price upon sheep is three
per cent against all loss. The average
price of cattle per head in this market
is $85. Sheep for shipment average
about Sc per bead. Cattle in this mar
ket are sold by the pound, live weight,
while in England they are sold by the
head. The price paid for freight varies.
When the business was first commenced
the average price paid was $35 per
head. The price now paid is 1922 per
head. The first shipment of cattle
made from this port was made by Mr..
Roddick, of Montreal. He was soon
followed by the pioneer of cattle deal
ers in this district, Mr.. William Col
well, who has shipped 200 cattle and
about 1000 sheep. Among the largest
shippers from this port may be classed
Lingham & O'Brien and M. Duche, and
jackson & Hathaway. G. H. Ham
mond & Co., ship from this port a
great number of dressed cattle, which
are killed at the Brighton abbatoir and
placed in refrigerators on the steamer.
The shipment of sheep has got to be
very large, some 1000 being shipped
the past two weeks. Sheep do not re.
quire so much care as cattle. The
sheep are placed upon the upper deck
in pens. When the cattle are on the
steamer and consigned the owners can
draw from the bankers in this city.
The amount advanced as a general rule
is $50 per head. All cattle sent from
this port are consigned to Nelson Broth
ers, in England. The amount of capi-
tai invested in the transportation of live
stock is estimated at $4,000, 900. The
profit in some instances has been very
large. One shipment of 125 head
netted the owners profit of Sc, 900, but
some of the shippers have lost great
deal of money by not insuring the stock,
and preferring to take the risks them
selves. Messrs. Hathaway & jackson
lost upon one shipment $8,OO0.-E1.

Live Stock Expectation.

The expectation of live stock from
this port to England has increased
largely within the past year. and the
drovers engaged in the shipping have
been more fortunate this year than last,
especially in transportation. So far
this year very few cattle have died
upon the long passage they have to en-
dure, and the reason is that all live
stock before being put upon the steam
ers are examined by commissioner
appointed by the Government. Mr..
II. w. Jordan was appointed by the
Collector of the Port in March last, and
all live stock going to England must
be accompanied by certificate signed
by him as inspector. He is paid by the
owners. For cattle he receives five
cents per head and for sheep and pigs
two cents per head. When the ship
ment was commenced the men em-
ployed, except in very few cases, were
inexperienced in the way the cattle
should be fed and also as to the reme-
dies to be used in cases of sickness and
stoppage. The water that is used is
condensed and was given to the cattle
in a warm state, but great improve
ments have been made upon most all
the steamers by having coolers erected,
and on those steamers that have not
got the coolers the water is allowed to
stand until it is of the right tempera-
ture. The cattle are watered twice
each day, and fed twice with hay and
corn, and are also given molasses in
their water once in three days, if re-
quired. Each owner employs one man,
who has had experience, who is given
charge of the cattle and the men who
are to feed them. The rule is to en-
ploy one man for every twenty-five
head. The pay of the men varies. The
men who go in charge are paid from
fifty dollars to seventy-fve dollars each
trip, and are allowed to mess with the
officers. In most all cases the men pay
their own expenses while in Liverpool
or London. The other men are paid
from five dollars to thirty dollars for
their trip, are given steerage food, and
upon almost every steamer there are
men who Ego for nothing" being
termed deadheads." The average
trip to Liverpool will be from thirty to
forty days. The cattle arrive in from
ten to fourteen days, but the men have
to remain until the return of the
steamer. When a steer dies upon the
passage it is taken on the deck and its
hide is taken off and salted and the car
cass thrown overheard. If the cattle are
insured the insurance company receives
what the hides brings. The owners,
as general thing, insure the cattle in
some form or other. Some drovers IN
sure against total loss, while others in
sure against partial loss and others
against suffocation. When the first
shipment of cettle was made from this
port the price charged by the insurance
companies was three-eighths of one per
cent. upon the valuation, which was a
total loss; but if any cattle were washed
overheard or had to be thrown over to
save the ship the companies paid for
all that were lost that way. In the past
year the owners have insured against
partial loss, but the rate has gone up to

diseases (ofJen the most dangerous in result),
being slow in their development, are seldom
noticed until they have made an almost inef

Harvesting In the West.

Any one of our farmers, with few ex-
ceptions, who stands in q Western
wheat field of 1000 acres for the first
time, witnessing the operation of har-
vestine, cannot fail to be deeply i'm
pressed by the wonderful celebrity with
which four or five men with machinery
and horses will reap, bind and stack
this immense piece of grain. These
four or five men actually do as much as
a hundred of their kind could do with
the old-fashioned cradle" and the
straw band by hand. which is largely
used by our farmers even yet-still they
have reason in part for it, because the
average field of wheat in Ohio is not
over twenty or thirty acres; few have
pieces of one hundred acres, and many,
q great many, do not SOW more than
ten or twelve, and it plainly would not
pay to purchase machinery for SO small
an extent of work. One of the strange
fashions which mark the Western wheat
harvests is the peculiar class of people
upon whom the remote dwellcrs on the
frontier depend to aid them in gather
ing their grain. They rely first upon
the emigrants who come into the coun-
try to settle subject to the homestead
laws, and, second. on the "wheat har-
vest tramps." These tramps'' are
men who start in Texas and follow the
harvest North. Some keep oD the line
of the rivers, while others drive
in wagons across the country.
They work in Texas until her har-
vest is sowed, then they strike for the
Mississippi River and there take a boat
North. When they reach a point where
the wheat has not been cut, there they
disembark and at once 60 to work.
Finishing here they go again further
North, so keeping on until Minnesota
is reached, ceasing only when the broad
fields of wheat on the Red River and
Dakota are cut. Other men of this
class get into wagons at the Rio Grande
and work right through North over
land. Hundreds and hundreds of their
white-tented vehicles may be seen
forging through Kansas to-day. They
have cut the crop of Texas, they have
sowed that of Southern Kansas, they
are at work on those of Middle Kansas
to-day, and the eyes of the Nebraska
farmers are anxiously turned to the
southern horizon every evening, eager
ly looking for the white-topped wagons
Of the Bohemian harvesters, who are
the very best of harvest hands, and
soon, when they have finished their
seasons work among the purple hills
the wind listeth. What revelations our
improved machinery of the harvest is
yet destined to work upon the vast
wheat fields of Southern Russia and
Roumania! where the immense aggre-
gate yield is nearly all gathered at a
frightful expenditure and waste of
physical toil-with rude reaping hooks
and scythes, threshed out by the clum-
sy fail or trodden out by the hoofs of
cattle. Yet with all of these bungling
customs in the way and in vogue, Rus
sia exports nearly as much wheat as
we do. When she comes to adopt our
methods, then we shall have to stir
ourselves if we wish to lead the list,
which we do now. as the great feeder
of the world. Cleveland Herald.
