A GHOST Story FROM CHEYENNE.

A curious case of what might be termed
mere optical illusion, being the result,
perhaps, of diseased condition of the
eyes, happened in Cheyenne during the
past week. In one of the great battles
fought during the rebellion certain per-
son, now resident of Cheyenne-then a
Union soldier-ceuld have shot and killed
the rebel General, Robert E. Lee having
dismounted and with single orderly for q
companion waded through the grass almost
up to the Union skirmish line, where he
stood for moment, with his hat in his left
hand. taking survey of the Union batter
les, which had not yet opened fire. The
soldier alluded to pointed his gun at him,
but did not fire. Lee turned and went
back. One night last week, at about
o'clock, this former Union soldier, desiring
to take quiet smoke, went to the office,
and, after smoking for a time, fell asleep
in his chair. Before this, however, he had
been thinking over some of the scenes and
incidents of the war. After sleeping some
time he was awakened by some one who
shook him by the arm and said, Wake
up" This, however, might be pure imag-
ination, but what followed was not, though,
of course, mere optical illusion. Think
ing that it was the gentleman who has his
office in the same room, the ex-soldier
backed up to the stove for a momeut with
out looking up at all. When he did SO,
close to his side stood the figure of large,
powerful man, with gray hair and beard,
holding his hat in his hand. Somewhat
astonished, the ex.soldier said : "Hello |!
how do you do ?" There was no response
The salutation was repeated with the same
result. Not feeling particularly pleased
over the situation, he went to the door,
which was still locked as he left it, and
passed down and out. Bob ingalls,, the
policeman, was sent at once to the room,
but returned reporting that no one could
be found. The next night the ex.Holdier
repaired TO the room, hoping to see again
that which he by this time was convinced
was nothing more nor less than an optical
illusion, as he is not believer in ghosts
and hobgoblins. He was not disappointed.
for he saw the same sight, and Immediately
recognized it as the picture of General Lee
as he appeared that bloody day down on
the Rappahannock. To be satisfied the
ex-soldier undertook to take hold of the
figure, but there was nothing to take hold
of. In about minute it disappeared en-
tirely. This may seem incredible to some,
but there are hundreds of cases on record
somewhat similar to the above related,
which is strictly true in every particular.

The question, &c What is meant by the
Stamp Act, and why was the stamped
been answered by Brosie Morton, Jennie
Carrie E. Edgar, Oregon Hill; James
Williams, Plscerville and Nettie Paine,
Meriden. The facts given by their letters
are as follows:
The question of raising British revenues
by taxing the American colonists was dis.
cussed in Parliament in l764, and with
this view the Stamp Act was passed. 1t
required all legal papers, such as deeds,
bonds, notes, receipts, etc., to be written
upon stamped paper, for which payment
had to be made to the officers of the British
Government, and no such instrument was
legal or of any binding force unless written
upon such paper. The lst day of No
vember, 1865, was the day appoint
ed for the Act to go into ef-
feet. The day was ushered in with mock
funeral ceremonies by the colonists to show
their detestation of the action of the Brit
ish in imposing the tax upon them, and
many o. those who had advocated the Act
in Parliament were burned in efigy.
There was bitter opposition TO the stamped
paper during all the time it was in force,
and the feeling caused by it was one of the
causes that led to the Revolution.
In answer TO the question, "Who was
Andrew Oliver?p Carrie E. Edgar, Oregon
Hill, says ANDREW P. Oliver was Lieu
tenant Governor of Massachusetts, in III.
He was disliked because he accepted the
Office of Stamp Distributor, and for doing
all in his power to promote the designs Of
the King of England"
Nettie Paine, Meriden, says g Andrew
Oliver was Lieutenant. Governor of Massa-
chusetts born 1907 and died in IVA !;
was appointed Secretary of the Province
OF Massachusetts, in 1856; accepted the
Office of Distributor of Stamps under the
Stamp Act; was hanged in effigy for &C.
cepting the Office, and became so alarmed
at the opposition that ne resigned"

MASONIC.

Great Indignation prevails among higher
degree Masous here and elsewhere in the
State because of the doings of an alleged
clandestine Masonic organization that has
been comforting degrees up to the thirty
third, despite the fact that they are not re-
cognized by the highest Masonic authority
in the land, the Supreme Council of the
northern Masonic jurisdiction. The irregu-
lar organization is headed by five advanced
Masons who We're recently expelled from
the Supreme Council to which they be.
longed, because they had assumed power
that did not pertain to them. What is
known as the Quinnipiac bodies have been
formed, and these have proceeded to confer
all the higher degrees of Freemasonry,
The Quinnipiac bodies started in New
York State a year or two ago, and
soon gained a foothold in this city,
and then spread to Massachusetts,
Said prominent Mason here to-day !:
They confer the degrees from the third
to thirty. second in an evening or two for
about SIS, while to go through the regular
bodies takes about two months and costs
500. don't know why these seceders
are acting as they are, except that some
have grievances against the regularly-con-
stituted authority, others want to get the
higher degrees as cheaply and quickly as
they can, and others again see no hope of
gaining the coveted thirty. third degree by
remaining with us, and SO they branched
out and formed this bastard and clandes.
tine organization. We recognizes them so
far as the three Blue Lodge degrees of en-.
tered apprentice. fellow-cratt, and master
Masons are concerned, but after that the
Quinnipiac bodies go on and confer de.
grees on their own hook that are
recognized by no true Masons. In
Massachusetts,. however, the Grand
Lodge of the State has declared that
any one who shall have anything to do
with these Quinnipiac bodies shall forfeit
all the rights and privileges of Mason,
which would throw the member out of the
Blue Lodge; and we shall come to that yet
here and in New York. These bogus bod.
les are recognized by no Supreme Council
at all, while our bodies are fully recognized
by the twenty-five Supreme Councils of
the world" The speaker went on to say
that Masons young in the Order should be
warned against joining the Objectionable
offshoots from the regular bodies. Upon
inquiry, however, q reporter learned that
quite a number of men, prominent az oiti-
zens, if not as Free Masons, had become
identified with the Quinnipiac bodies, and
that they were constantly growing, not
withstanding the anathemas of the go
called regular bodies.-[New Haven Dis

The Road to the House Of Never.
IA Spanish proverb says that "by the road of
By-and-by one arrives at the house of Never."l
There's dangerous little Afrite who accosts us day
by day,
Saying: Rest from this, pray you, for tomorrow
you can try
If hard work is to be done, you can do it By.and-
by"
Though he tell you not to do 1t,
Mind him not, or you will rue it,
For his words so smooth and clever,
Take you to the house of Never.
His voice is like SIRENS. and he always aims to
please
He's idle as a zephyr, and he bids you take your
your spirits seem to falter, at your elbow he is
nigh
Saying Wait little. brother, you can do it By
and by"
Though he tell you not to do it,
Mind him not, or you will rue it,
For his words, so smooth and clever,
Take you to the house of Never
He commands an endless future, and has youth
upon his side,
So he makes your little horoscope magnifcently
wide;
Quite disturbed by earnest plodders, he appeals
with witching eye:
"What's your hurry-wait little-you can do it
By-and. by"
Though he tell you not to do it,
Mind him not, or you will rue it;
For his words, so smooth and clever,
Take you to the house OF Never
He's tricky little prompter, and he always fingers
near,
Knowing just the proper moment when to whisper
in your car
He can span your pretty rainbows, and make fanci-
ful your sky,
With his magical proyiso of the golden BY-and-by.
Though he tell you not to do 1t,
Mind him not, or you will rue it;
For his words, smooth and clever
Take you to the house OF Never.
On your eyes he presses peoples, on your will he
puts brake
Just to keep you soothed and idle, any trouble he
will take;
When he trains you to his harness-oh, so misehiev.
GUS and sly
Then you'll doze away the Present in dream of
By-and-by
Though he tell you not to do 4,
Mind him not, you will rue it;
For his words, so smooth and clever
Take you to the house of Never.
