IN IucSo p6ItS IOE Auouy u year. We Ill
wished to show respect to our oldest
civil fellow was Bill. Many a story OF
the good old times he used to tell And
he had some queer adventures of his
own. too, to talk about. You'll scarce
credit me, gentlemen, but it's o fact
that that man had seen q ghost"
"a ghostr exclaimed my father,
whose natural skepticism on that sub
ject had been long since strengthened
by the incident I have related. He
dreamed Of one, l suppose, or an extra
glass of ale had gone to his head
Z" Nothing of the kind, SIR replied
the landlord. with great seriousness.
Bill not only saw a ghost, but felt it, and
that pretty sharply, can tell you. The
way he fell in with it was this. Some
of our lads had gone to fair that was
held few miles away, and Bill wanted
to frighten the young fellows on their
way home; 30 he just climbed into the
churchyard. wrapped a sheet about
him, and waited about till he thought
they were close ut hand. He was stand
ing ON . bit Of wall just above the road,
when he heard Q stealthy tread coming
up behind him. He turned round
quickly, and there was dark figure at
his back; but before he could move, it
made one rush at him and knocked him
cloan over into the stream that runs be-
low. The iau and the fright took away
his breath; and between the terror and
the wetting. he got such scare that he
never ventured near that churchyard
again after nightfall. He said it was q
dangerous thing to play at ghosts, for
no one know how near the ghosts them
selves might be, nor how angry with
anyone who dared to play pranks in
haunted places.'

but our host thought 1t stranger still

adventure. The coincidence was GER

which many . popular and well
authenticated ghost-stogy may bs
built. ."-Chambers journal.

Why the President Looks Jaded.n

Al Impression that President Garfield Is
counselor and adviser generally Tor this people,
as well as the dispenser Oh unlimited patron
age, seems TO have taken possession Of many
minds. Almost daily the newspapers report
the arrival OF some delegation at the White
House with an earnest request to see the Pres,-
dent. The dele cation sometimes represents a
colonization scheme, or a political project or
an educational proposition. but the Presidents
advice Is considered essential whatever the sub.
ject nay be. IL addition TO advice the ''dele-
gatloL', or committee" usually present some
small request. and not infrequently get In a
few words IL behalf OF one or more applicants
for Office. There is no earthly reason why the
Presidents manifold duties and annoyances
should be increased by requests for advice
which, In some cases, good lawyer could give
--ior fee. But many OF these delegation"
devices ere schemes TO reach the President.
Half dozen applicants for postmaster
ships and other minor places in a certain
state eEdeaYort rom day to day to reach the
President With their recommendations, teSti.
monials, etc. They failed. One evening they
met and adopted q series of resolutions cover
ing dozen pages 4 toolscap. The first reso.
luton recited the Is grandeur and glory OF the
republican party: the second eulogized Prest-
dent Garfield, ana congratulated the country
upon his election; tie third predicted unheard
OF prosperity for the country under the present
wise administration; the fourth declared for
Gen. GaTfleld's reelection In 1sSi and pledged
the state that the half-dOzen WHO composed the
meeting hailed from to his support; Qt Is one
of the hard shell democratic states, too.) The
others were OF similar character, and, in con-
clusion, all the Gentlemen present were ap-
pointed committee 20 wait upon the President
and present these resolutions to him. 1t Is no
matter OF surprise that the President Is look

Before Election.

Mr.. John Kelly, the Tammany Hall Boss,
was interviewed by Tribune reporter, Fri
day. and expressed great confidence in the
success Of Tammany over the other wing Of
the Democratic party, known as the County
Democracy.
What are the prospects Of Tammany
Hall in the approaching election" he was
asked.

no doubt that the entire Tammany county
ticket viii be elected"
What do YOU think will be the vote Of
the County Democracy -
Il think il will be the third in the race
The contest for Surrogate, and this will be
the test vote, will be between Tammany
Hall and the Republicans, and Mr.. Calvin
will be elected unless the County Dem
ocrats trade votes for Mr.. Rollins in consid-
grafton Of receiving votes for one or more
Of their candidates in districts where they
think they stand chance of winning"
What is your estimate Of the number of
votes which the respective organizations
will cast ?"

The Star Route Gases.

The Providence Press SAYS: 1.-The pres
ent complication in the Star Route fraud
prosecutions arises from Me dismissal of the
Grand Jury Of the District of Columbia by
United States Attorney Corkhil before those
who were managing those cases had an OPP
portuntv of presenting the evidence they
had collected TO that jury. We have never
seen any satisfactory explanation of this re-
markable act of Mr. Corkhill, and if. in con-
sequence Of ii, the cases should fail. the
country will want more light on the subject
than it has vet had"
On the opening of the district court. Mon.
dav. District Attorney Corkhill made long
personal explanation to the effect that MIR.
Cook had been appointed assistant 10 the
Attorney General for the prosecution of the
Star route cases last June. at which time
Attorney General MacNesgh notified him
(Corkhill) Of the fact. and that he (Corkhill)
had nothing to do with those cases. Cork
hill also stated that as 10 the charges that
his adjournment Of the Grand jury caused
presentation of the Star Route cases by '.in-
formation" the fact was that on the 18th Of
July last the counsel for the defence came
into Court with the remarkable motion that
the case Toe presented to the Grand Jury,
and that on that occasion he stated that he
knew nothing of the case and that Mr..
Cook vas the only man who could speak
for the Government in the matter Mr..
Cook then and there stated that it was his
intention after the summer was over to
present some case to the Grand jury.
On the first Monday IN October. the At
torney General informed him that since the
Presidents assassination. he had not given
the Star Route cases any special attention
that he knew nothing Of them and that be
tCorkhilll need not bother himself about
them and that when his services or those Of
the Grand Jury are required he would be
notified by the person having special charge
Of them
On the 18th Of September he was in
formed that the Attorney General wished
To see him, and in company with Cook he
called on the Attorney General, and was
then requested to sign the criminal informa-
ton. He then protested against the abuse
which he had been receiving and against
the insinuations that had been published
about the adjournment Of the Grand Jury
and he said that II the Attorney General. a.
his superior officer. made q statement of the
simple fact, this abuse would be at once 81
fenced.

Report Of Pension Department.

The annual report Of the Pension Bureau
has been submitted BY Commissioner bud
lev to the Secretary Of the Interior. recapit-
ulating the operations Of the last fiscal
wear. 1t shows that on the 30th Of June.
1881, there were 2Gs $50 pensioners. olassi-
fed as follows Army inYalils. lj3. 02J ;
army widows, minor children and dependent
relatives, 76.6Si; navy iLvalIds, 2,ls7 navy
widows, etc, zoos survivors of the war OF
1872, S,s9S widows Of the war Of 1872

the roll during the year, and the names of

sions averaged Sl0I, and the aggregate an
nual value Of all pensions was S2s. 100 ,967
The annual disbursements Of the Office, how
ever. were nearly sixty millions in conse-
quenoe of the arrearages Of pensions. For
instance, the total amount paid for pensions
during the year Exclusive Of certain arrears

Signs Of Growth.

Everything points to an industrial boom in
this city. The Woolen Mil has progre. sed
far enough 10 afford measurable certainty
of It's completion. The capital now needed
to put in the machinery will be furnished by
our own citizens or by others who are al
ways ready TO promote business enterprises
which are so far advanced as this one is and
which afford such assurances Of success. In
either event the mill will be an addition 10
the business of this city, and will bring
share Of It's profits to our community besides
affording an additional opening TO those Sho
are seeking employment.
The two large buildings being erected for
the new foundry and machine shops are
nearly covered in and will very shortly be 50
far advanced as 10 enable the builders To
continue work in spite Of frost and storms.
The increased facilities that will be afforded
by the new. over the old shops, have long
been needed here Work that has formerly
gone elsew here can be done Is cheaply and
"a zell in the new shops and will possess
she advantage OF avoiding transportation
charges We are informed that il is also
contemplated putting in the machinery for
the manufacture OF small wooden ware.
There will be room in the building for a
variety Of manufactures and il is probable
ihe entire space will be occupied.
With this springing up Of new industries
comes an increased necessity for railroad
communication with the outside world, and
for the establishing Of National Bank.
Both of these are under consideration. We
believe that our citizens are ready 10 aid
both within reasonable and proper limits
This is especially true Of the railroad, and
when the time comes that something defn-
tie, a. to the amount required, can be pre-
scented TO the public, our citizens viii be
found ready to give such aid a. can reason
ably be asked Of them.
4 proposition 10 establish a National
Bank here, has been made to some Of our
capitalists and the subject is now under con-
alteration. Whether this proposition is &C
oepted or not. there is little doubt that such
8 Bank will be started here in the ness fl-
ture. There is no place in the State pre-
senting so favorable al opportunity as this
city and the growing demand for banking
facilities must. before long, be supplied.
The future of Ellsworth has not looked so
promising for years and the best indication
Of its early growth is the fact that It's eiti-
zens are beginning to realize the absolute
necessity for additional industries and in
creased facilities for business.

The speakership.

The Boston Adrertiser SAYS: 'The
SpeskeEship question is exciting very much
interest of late. and the candidates for
the honor are multiplying. The South is the
only section Of the country which presents
no candidate. Prior to the death OF the
President Mr.. Hiscock, of New York,
seemed to be the favorite, though there was
a strong support given to Mr.. Kasson, of
Ioga, and to Mr.. Reed Of Maine. Now
that tba President and two members Of the
Cabinet are citizens of New York. the argu-
ment of locality is against Mr.. Hiscock
That argument has very little force one way
or the other but on genersl grounds we
think the candidacy of Mr. Reed may be
strongly urged. He has all the ability,
energy and tact that are necessary for o

efficiency. His knowledge of men fits him
