THE HAUNTED POOL.
BY DAVID KER.

The sun was setting over the Ganges
one bright summer evening in 1871.
The day had been a hot one even for
India, and it was an unspeakable relief
to everyone when the scorching sun be-
gan to decline at last, and the Iengthen-
ing shadows of the tall palms along the
river-bank told that night was at hand.
And now the Hindu inhabitants of the
neighboring village, who had been lying
motionless all afternoon under the shade
of their reed-thatched roofs, or of the
vast overarching banyan trees around
them, came trooping down to the water
in body.
Instantly the whole bank of the great
river-so lovely and silent all through
the long, burning day-became all alive
with noise and hustle. Children pad
died in the broad, still pools, or chased
each other in and out of the tall, feath-
cry bamboo clump that grew along the
bank Women filed their earthen
pitchers from the stream, or washed
their threadbare clothes. Men began
to scour their brass lotahs drinking
vessels), or to kindle fires for the cook
ing of their evening meals; while little
farther down the stream, a group of
young girls, wading out into the shallow
water, fell to splashing each other with
might and main, amid shouts of merry
laughter
To any one accustomed to the WAYS of
India, it would have seemed strange |
enough to see, upon the wrists and
ankles of nearly all the girls, and many |
OF their mothers likewise, heavy bangles
Of solid silver, which any western ladv
might have been proud to wear. But
the Hindu peasants, to whom savings
banks are utterly unknown, have no wav
Of keeping their money safe except by
carrying it about with them in this
fashiOn--a somewhat hazardous plan If
must be owned, in a country swarmino
with the most expert and daring thieves
in the world.
Suddenly, one of the girls, who had
little farther out into the
stream than the rest, disappeared under
water with a piercing shrek. as if
ragged down by some overpowering
orce. A few bubbles that rose sud-
lenly to the surface were the only token
# her fate, while her terrified COM
'anlons turned and rushed back to the
hore as fast as possible, screaming

EARLY M0RNZNG SCENE

You may talk of moonlight scenes
Where fair Lunas mellow beams
Battle with soft, translucent splendor, vale
and hill;
But, If on some autumn morn,
When the day is newly born,
You viii look, you'll see a sight more lovely
stil.
On fair Mississippi's bank,
Where the grass lay dark, and dank,
At the early morn lately took my way;
All around was hushed and still,
Heavy fragrance seemed to fill
The soft air, and usher in approaching
day.
In deep silence vast profound,
All things earthly seemed then bound,
And 1 shud'ring, held my breath in dread
and fear;
Ghostly figures gray, and slow,
Seemed to hither, thither, go,
Drawing every instant nearer, and more
near.
But in scarce a moments time,
Ave, before the church bells chime
Could have struck the hour Of day that now
had come;
There arose a murm'ring breeze,
And a rustling in the trees,
That sounded like tiny mutfled drum.
And far in the east was seen
A shade of rOseate gleam.
And the ghostly shadows vanished from
my sight;
And another moments space,
And such Wondrous change took place,
As the greatest poets pen could never
write.
For. behold the scene so gray,
Had by magic passed away,
And the earth in all its pristine glory shone:
As it never shone before,
Since those old, old days of yOre,
When in Edens vale sin meier had caused
moan.
Upon hillside, vale and dell,
The bright sun gods radiance fell,
Clothing every thing it touched with beauty
rare;
Till dame Natures brilliant dress,
Seemed embodied loveliness
That no power in all the earth could make |
more fair.
Every leaf, and blade of grass.
By this great magician's glass,
Was most quickly made to shine with dia-
mOnds bright;
And the foliage's hue
Autumn painted. hung with dew,
One could neer believe had known the
shades Of night.
Then talk not OF moonlight fair,
For more lovely far, and rare,
Is the moment when the Day God comes to
view;
Fairy fingers paint the scene
With rich cOlors. wcndrous sheen.
And each morning is transformed by
beauties new.

He Had Been "Out West"

1 had supposed that the far West was
a new Garden of Eden, and that one had
but to venture there to gain the wealth
OF Monte Cristo. I met at the Union
station a man whom l imagined was by
this time bonanza king, as he went
Westward years ago. But if he is a
nabob he is travelling nacog., and his
conversation is not calculated to stimu-
late Western excursions. He wore a
shabby ulster, long hair and a pensive,
searching expression of sympathy. He
greeted me as an old acquaintance at
once.
"Well," queried, chow do you like
the West?"
81 like it just well enough, said he,
''to remain in the East the remainder of
my days. I tell you, the East is good
enough for any man who hasn't life
and death dispute with the law on hand
In the East man above the average in
smartness can get along; but go West
and you find no drones. Every man
you meet is on the dead run for wealth.
and you must stay up late, rise up early.
and bolt your meals to keep up with the
stragglers in the procession. There's
lots of money West, and big wages. I
have just come from Colorado, where I
got $40 day for driving a mule team.

''That is very good salary for that

"Ohl it is, is it? Well, you go out

paid 81. so for a cup of coffee, 50. rs for
a glass Of beer, and $4for a horn-handled
jack-knife with one blade. I have been
in the mountains with a party when
chew of tobacco was put up at a rattle,
at dollar chance, and if the winner
of the tobacco finally got away with it,
he had to dodge the contents of the re-
volvers of the party and keep out of
sight for a week. Talk about the West !

every murderer brought to justice; see
what you can make of the case.
The Mahratta's black eyes flashed
fire, for five hundred dollars is more to
a Hindu than five thousand to white
man, and such chance did not come
to him every day. He went out without
a word, but Mr.. Sparks felt satisfied
that there would be news of the criminal
before long.
Ismail plunged at once into the sur
rounding jungle, and traversed it at
pace which few men could have kept up
over such ground and in such climate
till he came in sight of Ramgani, but in
stead of entering the village he struck
down by-path to the river, swan
across, went slowly up the opposite side
till he came to two bamboo-clumps close
together, and cropping in the water be-
side them, pulled up rope.
His next move was to hunt out big
stone, upon the sharp edge of which he
sawed the cord to and fro till it held
only by one strand. One slash of his
long, sharp knife would have done the
work much quicker, but Ismail doubtless
had his reasons for what he did. Then
placing the stone in the shallow water
with the sharp side uppermost, and the
'ope lying right across it, he vanished !
nto the thicket.
An hour had passed since his disap-
and night had already set in
When dark figure came creeping up to
he same spot, and pulled at the half
evered cord, which instantly parted in
lis hand.
The man started, and held up the
'roken ends to the light of the rising
noon, but finding them rough and
rayed as If by constant rubbing, and
ceiling the sharp-edged stone lying Just
eneath, he appeared satisfied that it

The Dyuamiters,

LONDON, June 13.-The trial OF the men
concerned in the dynamite conspiracy re-.
sumed this morning. Detectives said that
Ainsburg on being apprehended was asked
to give an account of himself, and was told
If he refused he would have himself to
blame for anything which happened to
him. He said he came from America,
Chief Justice Caldridge expressed the opin.
ion that the prisoner was not provided with
counsel, and no statement ELECTED by threat
or promise would be received against him.
The evidence given by witnesses to show
connection between Ansburgh and Gala.
gher proved that the latter introduced the
former at Charing Cross hotel as Mr.. Gala
CHER in order that he might obtain q letter
and telegram.
Ansburgh, in examining Inspector Mel
vile in regard to the words which passed
between them when the former was ar
rested, called the inspector a liar because
he denied he had said to him (Ansburgh)
at that time: you had better turn in.
former and get $500"
Chief Justice Coleridge then interposed
and restored order.
A police inspector of Glasgow testified he
saw Gallagher while In prison there, and he
stated he knew others who were connected
WIN tne uynaullte SCHOOLS III new 1OrK.
He said he knew O'Donovan Rossa.
An Irish constable swore that Curtin
lived at Fermoy, Ireland under the name
of 4ert after he left America, and was con.
nected with Gallagher.
A government inspector examined the
contents of Whitehead's factory, which
comprised 200 pounds Of nitro.gl glycerine,
600 pounds OF nitric acid and 700 pounds of
sulphuric acid. He also examined por.
tion of the local government board offices
wrecked by explosives, and gave as his opin-
ion that twenty ponnds of nitro-g -glycerne
caused the damage.
The case for the prosecution was then
declared closed, and Mr.. Clarke began argu.
ment in behalf of Gallagher. He declared
there was no occasion to defend the pris-
oner against the charge of levying war
against the government as no evidence had
been adduced to show him guilty.
Justice Coleridge declared if the prison
ers agreed to destroy the property OF the
crown to the endangering of the queen
or parliament they had virtually levied
war against the country. Counsel for the
defense submitted there was no case
against Gallagher, who acted under the
influence of drink.
