A Ghost Story.

| New York Times.
Some wears ago there was house
in Dedham, Mass, which was haunt
ed bv small yellow ghost. The
ebosi-a female-had been seen by
persons who had slept in the spare
bedroom of this house. She was an
alarming ghost to contemplate, for
she had been cut in TWO at the waist
and made a point of walking up and
down the room Carrying the upper
part of her body under her LETT arm,
and the head hanging down and the
ewes wide open. OF course this was
very trying to the ner es Of the
spectators, who were not unfrequent
| ly frightened into fits. Exorcism
was tried, by a Methodist aud also
by a congregational minister, and
although the local Episcopal rector
asserted that the failure of the eXor-
cists was owing to the fact that they
were not properly ordained, and said
! that he was ready to exercise the
ghost himself, his services were not
accepted.
One night young engineer OF
much intelligence and great person
al courage called at the haunted
house, and asked permission to sleep
in the spare bedroom. lie exhibit
ea letters from several members OF
the Adams family, and his respect
ability being thus established, his
request was granted. He went to
bed early, and slept peacefully until
II o'clock when he suddenl y awoke.
The host was plainly vislole-the
full moon shining directly into the
room but the young mans nerves
were not in the least disturbed. de
had made up his mind that the ghost
had definite object in making her
self visible, and he had guessed what
that object was. He inquired with
much curiosity if the ghost wished
to be mended, requesting her to nod
if such was the case. She nodded in
the most unmistakable manner.
The engineer thereupon arose-and
it should be mentioned that in de-

ber-say twenty-ships not too big,
but large enough to carry one or
two long range guns, and with great
speed and large carrying capacity
for coal. Such ships can be built
to steam not fifteen, but sixteen or
seventeen knots, and with coal ca
pacity to enable them to make cruise;
and it is cruisers we need. Our mar
bors can be defended well enough
with torpedoes and other appliances;
ships are not needed for that purpose
unless it be torpedo bearing rams.
In case of war we shall not seud
out fleets to fight old fashioned
naval battles. What we need in
such a case is fast cruisers to sweep
the seas, and give the enemy work
enough to guard his own commerce
and coasts.
No European fleet sent to attack
our ports could get over here in less
than a month, and after it got on
our coast it could not hope to do us
damage only by sudden attack.
which torpedoes can safely ward off.
Prolonged operations would be i'm
possible on this coast to an Europe
an squadron, because the ships
would get out of coal.
We are glad that the attention OF
Congress is to be called to the ne
cessity of new navy; but we hope
the new ships will be neither I'M
wieldly ironclads, such as the Eng
lish, French and other European
nations have been building, nor
slow. going incapables. Twenty
ships of really great speed, able to
carry enough ccal for a prolonged
cruise, and armed with even one
long range gun each, will serve us
better than a hundred w-going
tubs,

Government Timber Lands.

The Commissioner of the g eneral
Land Office, in his annual report,
makes the following interesting com
ments on the subject of the Govern
ment timber lands:
"The existing provisions of law
permitting citizens to fell and re-
move timber on the public lands for
mining and domestic purposes, as
found in the Act of June 3, 1878, are
in my opinion, very defective. The
only lands from which cutting Is au-
thorized are mineral lands, and
these to a great extent, underline, and
nj cessArily must so remain.
Large quantities of timber are alb
solutely necessary for the develop
ment of the mines, while the said
Act authorizes the cutting thereon
of timber tor other purposes. The
purchaser of a mining claim has as
much, if not greater need for the
tim Der thereon as the agriculturist,
and the transportation OF timber to
the mines from distance is very
expensive.
w
such as reside at distance from
such lands. The settlers on land
devoid of timber need timber for
fuel, bui ding, etc. Very frequently
they canno. get it except from pub
lie lands, if they get it legally. Still
they will take it, and when taken,
it Is solely for the said purposes and
under circumstances which largely
mitigate the technical legal offense.
While parties who steal the public
timber tor speculation and profit
deserve severe puniphment. those
who use it solely for home purposes
under the imperitive necessities
above mentioned, shonld have their
privileges accurately and reasonably
defined. | deem the enactment oil
some law which will accomplish this
end. to be very desirable and in
the public interest.

The report of the Naval Advisory
Board, just made, shows that we
have only 81 ships fit to float; of
these 81 not half dozen probably
are fit to do anything 'excep to float,
in the time of war, and that only on
condition that they are vigorously
kept out of range of the enemy. The
majority of the Board report in ia

several classes-2 of over 5000 tons,

tons, TO steam IA knots; ID of $500
tons, to steam Is knots, and a lot of
gunboats, to steam 10 knots.
Is it not too late IN the century to
be building ten knot ships? such
vessels could not harm iron clads,
and could not keep out OF their way.

A NEW WAY TO FLOAT MIN
ING STOCK.

Our California aud Nevada Wild
Cat operators, although practiced
sharrers, and skillful in the con-
struction of tales with which to de
ceive the public, have yet lesson to
learn from their Colorado brethren.
The brilliancy of the Coast mining
romancer is but candle to the cleo
trio light when compared with the
inspired work OF the Colorado man,
who utilizes the financial wreck Of
the chief promoter OF stock scheme
in advancing the claims Of the stock
to public consideration. A statement
comes from Denver that Brick Pom
oroy" is "broke" again, and follows
with an account of his extravagant
habits. In the beginning the story
of Pomeroy's misfortune seems in
nocent enough, but tine narrator has
ingeniously woven into the statement
of assets and liabilities, puff for a
tunnel company which is liable to
leave an impression GA the mind of
the unsusp ,cting reader who thinks
no is only looking over semi Off
cial statement of bankruptcy. Speak
ing of the magnificent mansion the
bankrupt was building, the careful
and CONSCIENTIOUS reporter winds up:
"Work on it is reported suspended,
as also that he owes 100000 on the
mansion, borrowed money for build
ing purposes" and then by a gentle
turn of his rhetorical crank he turns
the readers attention to the tunnel
proposition.
"Pomeroy, since his advent to Col.
has been identified with numerous
mining and other enterprises. He
is now the head and front of the So
called Atlantic and Pacific Tunnel
Company. This company is entirely
solvent, and the work will proceed.
This tunnel is situated sixteen miles
northwest of Georgetown, and is
destined to be about five miles long.
One thousand feet has been com
pleted, and has opened up several
mining veins. 1t is also stated that
the Union Pacific Railroad officials
are negotiating to secure the tunnel
as a part of their railroad system
through the Rocky Mountains. The
tunnel, if completed, is calculated
to save about 400 miles distance to
San Francisco. Pomeroy's success
for the past two years has enabled
him to receive from the sales of stock
of this Tunnel Company, and other
mining operations, nearly or quite
100000"
Rather than make the tunnel fea-
ture so striking as to be suspicious,
he again drops into details of extrav-
agance, loss and the rapid strides
Pomeruy made towards fortune in
the early days of his Colorado expe-
rience, but again brings the tunnel
into view at the close, as follows;
"Frequently his daily mail brought
him from $4,000 to 100000. All
Of this money has gone into the
mines, except what he has drawn in
his extravagant operations. The
probabilities are that the Atlantic
and Pacific tunnel enterprise will, in
another year, place him on his feet
again. 1t is well known that Pome-
roy has no bad habits-neither drinks
nor CANDLES"
No patent medicine man ever
thought of using his failure as an
advertisement, but the example once
set will doubtless be soon follow.

Miscegenation Tragedy in South
Carolina.

Last Friday Mary Lewis, a
white woman living in Lexington
county, South Carolina, took it
upon herself to marty Il colored
individual named Manning Law.
The ceremony was performed as
privately as possible, and on its
conclusion the presumably happy
pair started in a buggy for Au-
gusta, Ga. They had not pro-
ceedcd far when knowledge Of
their nuptials came to the brothers
of tho woman, and an nctive
pursuit Of the newly married pair
was at once instituted. The re-
suit of this was to bring about one
of the most exciting honeymoons
on record When about ten miles
OH their journey Mr.. and Mrs.
Law were overtaken by the SAN
culinary brothers of the bride. The
groom saw the approach Of his
newly made relatives, and, appre-
ciating the dolicacy Of the situa
ton, drew pistol and began firing
at his pursners. They returned
the fire, one bullet taking effect in
Laws breast, aed infiicting
wound that will probably result
fatally. Having satisfactorily dis
posed of the dushy person who
had with such bad taste forced
himself into their family, the
Mcssrs. Lewis proceeded to the
house Of tho preacher who had
performed the marriage ceremony,
but, fortunately for that party, he
saw the approach Of the indignant
brothers-in-law and fled to tho
woods, his hasty departure for the
timber being the signal for some
pistol practice Of the part of the
Lewis family representatives. At
last accounts the preacher was in
Columbia, :. c., the negro was d s.
ing and the LOWS brothers were
reloading their pistols.
