There was magnificent funeral soon in
that church, and it was said that the young
widow OF the buried man was inconsolable
and then rumors got abroad of a horrible APP
partition which had been seen on the night
OF the death; and it was whispered that the
young widow was terrified and insisted upon
leaving her splendid mansion.
| was too mystified with the whole affair
TO risk my reputation by saying what l
knew, and would have allowed my share
IN 1t to remain forever in oblivion had not
suddenly heard that the widow, Directing
to many Of the legacies in the last will OF
her husband intended to dispute it on the
score OF insanity, and gradually arose the
rumor ofhis beiefin having received mys-
terious summons.
On this went to the lawyer, and sent a
message to the lady, that, as the last person
who has attended her husband, undertook
to prove his sanity, and l besought her to
grant me an interview, in which would
relate as strange and horrible a story as
her ear ever heard.
The same evening received an invitation
to go to the mansion. was ushered imme-
diately into u splendid room, and there,
standing before the fire, was the most dazzel-
ingly beautiful young creature had ever
seen.
She was very small but exquisitely made !;
had itnot been for the dignity of her carriage,
should have believed her mere child.
With bow she advanced but did not speak.

to glance full into her eyes, and from them
down to the small right hand grasping the
chair. The wedding ring was on that hand I!
II conclude you are the Mr.. Reed who re-
quested permission to tell me some absurd
ghost story, and whom my late husband
mentions here And as she spoke she
stretched out her left hand toward some
thing-but what knew not, for my eyes
were fixed on that hand.
Horror White and delicate it might be,
but it was shaped like claw, and the third
finger was missing
One sentence was enough after that.
MADAME, all can tell you is that the ghost
who summoned your husband was marked
by very singular deiormity. The third
finger of the left hand was missing" said
sternly; and the next instant had left that
beautiful, sinful presence.
That will was never disputed. The next
morning, too, ! received check for Il 900
and the next news Iheard of the widow was
that she had herself seen that awful appari.

a writer in the Voltaire, who signs
himself "Un Russo" paints deplorable
picture of the terrors by which the Gar
is haunted and of the precautions taken
to secure his person from injury. At
one time the Emperor of all the Russias
was in the habit Of wearing coat of
mail, very delicate and supple, but, un-
able to endure the weight, he has aban-
doned this arc of safety. His uniforms.
however, are now specially prepared, and
are said to be stepped in peculiar wash
which renders them bullet proof. The
carriages and sledges used by the mon
arch are also plated with iron, and such
is the mysterious secrecy with which he
is surrounded that even the most trusted
policemen are ignorant half an honr be-
fore hand in what direction he is going.
The cook is watched at his work by two
special employees, and the kitchen door is
watched by two sentinels. The viands
are tasted by experts, and only offered to
the Gar when they are convinced that
no poison is lurking in them. Fond as
he is of good cigar, the Emperor is
obliged, from similar motives of prudence,
to forego the pleasure of smoking.
Such is said to be the life of the greatest
autocrat in the world, who must now and
then envy the lot even of the meanest of
his subjects.

too pompous and too voluminous in his

In speaking of the late fire in Eureka,
which destroyed considerable property,
the Sentinel says: The fire originated in
the back part Of the drugstore. 1t is
supposed to have caught fire from the
stovepipe running up from the restaurant,
or from the explosion OF a lamp. All in
all, it was close call for the principal
block on the east side of Main street,
and it was due to the heroism and eff
cheney of the firemen that we were not
called upon to record still greater list
of losses.

PHILADELPHTA DEMOCRATS.
A Mammoth Turnout East Night
Ttyenty-threc Thousand NIen iu
Iine-Speecbeh. 40.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22.-rhe Demo.
Gratis of Philadelphia made their last great
marching effort of the campaign last night,
ard it was their greatest effort of the kind
ever made ry the party in this city The
demonstration had two great features that
were TO 4 certain extent distinct. One was
the parade of over % 600 uniformed ard
torch. bearing men on Broad street and
the other WAS u reception Of General
George b. McOleland by the Hancock
Veterans, connected with a monster meet
ing which first filled Horticultural Hall and
Broad street in front of that building,
Little Mac himself presiding over the
inside gathering.
This, his native city, had on previous
occasions of the kind given him un:nis-
taxable evidence of popular favor, but
last nights welcome exceeded them all.
The connecting link between the parade
and the great meeting was review ef
the countermarching lines by the General
from the front of the hall, and that was
the point when the enthusiasm of the
evening was at its highest There WAS
nothing worth speaking of to mar either
parade or meeting, and the entire demon
stlation was at least rs credltable 10 the
participants and to the city as either of the
two other great turn-outs recently made.

Mr.. Thomas MacKellsr, of Philadelphia.

Association of the United States and the
Book Trade Association of Philadelphia,
has written letter denounciHg the recent
use of his name as one of the vice presi-
dents of meeting of manufacturers, Nc,
to promote the election of Gen. Garfield
MIR. MaoKela says it is true that he is q
strong proteetionist, but adds: Il ain
entirely opposed to the getters-up of the
meeting in their opinion that Mr.. Garfield
ID safer man than Gen. Hancock. The
latter has squarcly placed himself among
the upholders of the American tariff, while
the position of Mr.. Garfield is at least
cquivocai, Consequently, as q protec-
tionist, feel bound TO support Gen.
Hancock. Furthermore, heartily endorse
every measure that aims to unity and
hnrmonizs all sections of the country. A
prosperous South insures a prosperous
North, and the man that can harmonic
all sections il the man that should fill the
Presidential chair"
