mate tried to turn in, but every time he
reached his door he twisted around on
his heel and began to pace up and down
the deck. One o'clock came, and with
it came Jacks ghost. / heard the
noise of a boat cutting the water, and
there he was in the black,
tossing water, Just the same rs before.
o, how he did look. He had Il smile of
triumph on his face, an his form seemed
to be covered with something shiny an
white that l could see through. The
blood on his raised fist was more red
than before. The mate was on the lower
deck. With a hoarse cry he sprang like
an animal up to the hurricane, and with
his hands over his eyes tried to kick open
the door of the texas. He couldn't do it.
Dropping his hands, he turned slowly
around and looked at Jack His face
was like stone. The form in the water
raised its right arm with a'clenohed fist
toward the black sky, and opened its
mouth as il to speak, then-there was
nothing but darkness on the water. l
heard the mate fall heavily on the floor
of his state-room, but could not leave my
post. He came on deck next morning
nervous and sick. The ole mar was still
drunk. You can just bet left the Saga
more when we struck Chicago.
Cipin' Tippock got sick, and the
mate had to sail her for Buffalo
as master. l pitied him, but he wa
plucky, and bound not to be beaten by
ghosts. He steamed out, and the old
Sycamore was never heard of more. She
was traced into the Georgian Bay. A
week later the papers were full of the
sinking of the propeller Sycamore by a
Canadian steamer, which cut her in two
from the port side during a black night
on that fearful piece of water. All hands
were lost. / believe in my Utmost soul
that poor little Jack was the cause of it
all, and I'll leave it to any honest mar in
the crowd"
The ancient mariner finished his tale,
and with his listeners gazed meditatively
at the red sides of the stove. Then, one
after another they knocked the ashes from
their pipes, stretched themselves with "a
series of yawns, and departed of their
sleeping places without passing a word of
comment on the tale unfolded by the griz-
Zled veteran.

BEECHER AND
He has Never Seen Her, But he
Would do SO, il he Wanted TO.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has been
moved by a newspaper paragraph to ask
the question if he has a ''double." A
few evenings ago he was ir Boston, but
the paragraph made it appear that he
was also at a theatre in New York. wit
Messing a Langtry performance. His
letter on the question of his own identity
is amusing. ''What shall l dol" he ex-
claims. is come one who looks like
Beecher passing himself off for me! Can
not some one catch him, examine him in
theology. make him preach and so detect
the ~rascal?" This seems a reasonable re.
quest. In all the world there is only one
Beecher, 30 far as theology goes, and if
the ''bogus" n who is attending thea
tres at unreasonable hours can be caught
and examined on the subject, as the
genuine Beecher suggests, he might be
detected.
Mr.. Beecher having returned from
Boston a reporter questioned HIM about
the report of his having declined an in
~vitatien to see Mrs. Langtry at Niblo's
with the following result:
"Have you never seen Mrs. Langtry
on the stagef"
"No sir, l have not"
"Would you 90 to see her did the in

resses or prima donnas, except those
whom ! saw on the occasions just referr.
ed to. I expect to visit theatres again,
although as you will see, / am not much
of a theatre-goer."
1t now transpires that Mr.. Beecher's
presence AZ the play existed only in the
fertile Imagination of Ned Gilmore. the
theatrical manager. This is the way it
happened; Mr.. Gilmore yearned for a
free advertisement; so he sent word 10
the Trlpune Monday night that Mr..
Beecher would he at Niplo's Tuesday
evening. To a Tribune reporter who was
at the theatre on the latter evening he
said that Mr.. Bee,her had been at the
performance and enjoyed it, but had
gone home early. The credulous report
er believed it, and was gulled. Mr..
Gilmore said tonight that he had mis-
taken John Wiman for Mr.. Beecher.
He afterward acknowledged that the
whole thing was meant for a joke, and
seemed to think it was very funny. The
Tribune says of the affair: ''Mr. Gilmore
appears to wish the public to think that
he regarded a stupid lie as a joke. The
public will probably think his real opin,
ion was that the lie wal a good advertise

More Opposing Views.

from the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,
The first Republican National Convention ever
held lin 1866 adopted platform in which oc-
CURED the following:
That as our Republican fathers, when they
had abolished slavery in all our national terri
tory, ordained that no person should be de-
prived OF life liberty or property without due
process of law it becomes our duty to maintain
this provision of the Constitution against all at
tempts to violate it, for purposes Of establishing
slavery in any Territory OF the United States
* 1t is both the right and the duty of Con-
gress to prohibit in the Territories those twin
relics Of barbarism-poly gamy and slavery.
In the national convention platform adopted
by the Democracy in 1856 are found these reso-
lutions relating to slavery, which were also
adopted by the Democratic National Conven-
ton of 1860:
ResolUed, That all efforts of the Abolitionists,
or others, made to induce Congress to interfere
with questions of slavery, or to take incipient
steps with relation thereto, are calculated to
lead to the most alarming and dangerous conse.
QuenceS.
ResOlUed, That the Democratic party will re-
sist all attempts at renewing, in Congress or out
of ii. the agitation of the slavery question, I'M
der whatever shape or color the attempt may be
made.
But slavery is dead issue, says the Demo-
cratic objector to these quotations from his
party record. True enough. Yet the old atti-
tude of the national Democracy toward slavery
is exactly rep, oduced in it's admitted attitude
toward polygamy to-day

State, but this is compensated by defections
from the ranks of the Democracy. Ex-

Milwaukee, says that Blaine is the strongest
man the Republicans could have nominat-
ed. He is particularly strong among the
