day on which The great work Of her life
had been completed.
It does not matter to this story what
became of the proud and fair dame. but
It was her ghost which was said to haunt
the wing, and the Tapestry chamber in
particular. Warden, my maid, as she
helped me to undress, looked quite pale

felt happier than 7 had done since my
husbands death, and after very de-
Hghtful evening, retired to my room,
feeling brave enough to encounter any
number Of ghosts that might choose to
visit me.
The Tapestry room was quite away
from the rest of the house-it was at the
extreme end Of the wing.
No other bedrooms were in the wing.
There were a smoking-room, morning
room, and little oriel chamber, which
Mrs. Clifford, in her early married life,
had curiously fitted up for herself, but
now seldom occupied. Neither did she
believe in the ghost, but she confessed
that this little orel chamber had an
eerie feel.
The morning-room opposite, cheerful
and pretty enough, was unused. Its
furniture was antique, it belonged to a
by-gone day, and its inhabitants were
dead. The smokiDg-room also was de-
serted; even the fumes Of tobacco had
left it, the squire prefering more cen
trail apartment in the modern part of
the house.
Altogether, this wing Of the old house
seemed dead. Visitors only came to it
out of curiosity; they paid brief visits,
and preferred doing SO in broad day
light.
It must have been quite a hundred
years since the Tapestry room in the tar
end of this wing had been slept in

looked, the Tapestry room bore quite

done to secure the trade for the druggist

SPORTING.

WILLIAM STEELE, the champion run
ner of America, and T. @. Herbert, of
Cincinnati, the famous English pedes-
trian, have been matched to run ten
miles for 81, 900 and the championship
of America. The race will take place at
Blossburg, Pa, on May s, 1884.
Ed. BITHER, with his carload of seven
trotters, left Racine for Gainesville,
KY, on the 31st ult. The animals are
valued as follows: Jay-Eye-See, $50, :
600; Phallas, $40, Victoria Sprague,
$1,000; Maud E., So, 1000; Gurgle, $10,-
600; Dainty, SIS, 900; Defiance, $4,000.
AT Robert Bonner's stable in Fifty
fifth Street, New York, the famous old
trotter, Dexter, looks as fresh and clean
about the limbs as 3-year-Old, although
now 26 years of age. This winter he
has been driven on the road, but has
only been given walking exercise. 1t is
the owners intention, however, to drive
him as soon as the roads are In good
condition.
ENTRIES for the pedestrian match at
the Madison Square Garden closed on
the 1st at the Office of the Turf, Field
and Farm. They are as follows: Charles
Rowell, Patrick Fitzgerald, Robert
Vint, George d. Noremac, ID. j.
Herty, Frank 81. Hart, Peter
Napoleon Campana, and a half
breed called Nitaw-Eg-E Elbow. The
competitors must make 525 miles to
share in the gate money. The race be-
gins on the 28th.
By recent enactment of the Ken
lucky Legislature, the riding of bicycles
in Kenton County is prohibited. Gov
ington, KY, wheelmen have tamely sub
mitted to this idiotic imposition, but
some of the Cincinnati riders avow that
they will ride over the bridge into Gov
ington some day, just for the fun of the
thing, to see whether the authorizes
over there will arrest them. Should
they do so, the whole strength of the
League of American Wheelmen will be
brought into play, and the outrageous
law tested in the highest courts.
The big wrestling match in Toledo on
the evening of the Sd, between Duncan

Puzzled Car Conductors.
CFrom the Boston Journal. ]


In certain of the horse cars of this
city large placards have appeared, bear
ing upon their fronts the peremptory
words "Move up!" inscribed in charac-
tiers of considerable size, as well as the
announcement In smaller type, that the
conductor of the vehicle is expected to
see to it that eleven passengers are &C.
comodated with seats on each side of the
car. It is understood that the conduct
ors on the line are IN a state of great
bewilderment over this order, and are
about TO call a meeting to discuss its
meaning. A list of questions for discus
sion on that occasion has already been
drawn up, in which the most prominent
items are: 'fDoes the order make it COM
pulsory on the conductors in case the
car has less than twenty-five passengers
aboard, to descend into the street and
drag in and forcibly seat enough per-
sons to make up the regulation quota ?
If there are ten passengers on one side
and eleven on the other, and the twen-
ty-second individual present prefers to
stand up and hang on by strap, rather
than squeeze himself in among the other
ten, shall it be the conductors duty to
make him sit down, and may be without
prejudice to his position, whack him on
the head with a bell-punch if he declines?
IF eleven young children sit on side, is
it contrary to the intent of the rule to
allow them to make room for another,
and if eleven very fat men wedge them
selves into seat, shall it be among the
conductors duties to assist any one of
them TO extricate himself when he wishes
to get out, and will he be permitted to
pry him out with switch-hook if the
operation proves not to be practicable
otherwise?" 1t is certainly not too much
to demand that the company shall give
a categorical answer to these pregnant
INQUIRIES.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Information
has been received at headquarters of the
army from the United States CONSUL
general at Matamoras concerning the
Apaches in Northern Mexico, which
tends to strengthen the belief that little
Charley McComas was killed by his

squaws at chihuahua, recently captured
by the Mexicans, there can be but little
doubt of it. Ju is said to be still
alive and with about twenty bucks is
not over 100 miles north of chihuahua.

A FLAMING FOREST.
Fifty Miles of North Carolina TurpentiD
Forests on Fire.

FIFTY Miles of North Carolina TurpentiD.
Forests on Fire.
RALEIGH, N. O., April 4.-The great

pine which stretch well nigh unbroken
from Sanford, fifty miles from Raleigh.
to points northwest, and south sixtv
miles, beyond the South Carolina Dor
der. From these forests nearly all of
the turpentine marketed at Wilmington.
n. o., is produced. Covered with
resin, these hundreds of thousands of
trees offered a rare opportunity
to four or five fires which were
accidentally started by careless
brush-burners. The wind blew vio-
lently, sending the flames like demons
through the woods, The fire lowered
to an amazing height, and SO vivid was
the glare that it made all objects plain
at great distances. PEOPLE were terri
bly, alarmed. At Blues Crossing and
heyser they gathered in large numbers
and fought the flames with such energy
and desperation that these places es-
capped with little damage. Many dozen
turpent1ne distilleries are completely
destroyed, as well as large quantities of
resin, turpentine, and other naval
stores. The fire has extended beyond
Hamlet into South Carolina. It's
full sweep is over a distance of
fifty or sixty miles. The town
OF Manly was in imminent danger
OF total destruction. The railroad ware
house caught on fire several times. The
Methodist Church, five storage ware
houses, for guano and cotton,
and the barn and stables of w.
q. Petty at Manly were burned. The
water-tanks of the Raleigh & Augusta
Railroad at Hamlet were consumed.
Many farm houses have been consumed.
MI. Henderson, near Hamlet, lost his
residence, together with all the
on the premises. Hun
dreds of farmers lost all their
fences and out-buildings, forage,
etc. At Hamlet and other points the
people threw their furniture, bedding
and clothing into the ponds and streams
to save them from the flames. The peo-
pie themselves took refuge in ponds and
wells. For ten miles east of Hamlet
everything is absolutely destroyed. 1t
was by far the most disastrous fire ever
experienced in the North Carolina turpen-
tine forests. No loss of life is reported.
