Well, sir, its true; Pm the voice, sir, but

confession was what l needed for though
when standing pretty close to him on
the forecastle could have sworn that it
was he who uttered the words which
perplexed and awed the sailors. yet so
perfect was the deception, so fine, in
short, was his skill as ventriloquist,
that, had he stoutly denied and gone on
denying that he was the voice, / should
have believed him, and continued shar-
ing in the wonder and superstition of
the crew. | kept his secret as prom
Used; but somehow or other, it leaked
out in time that he could deceive the ear
by apparently pitching his voice among
the rigging, or under the deck, or over
the side, though the discovery was not
made until the ghost had for long
time ceased to trouble the ships COM
pany, and until the mems superstitious
awe had faded away somewhat, and they
had recovered their old cheerfulness.
We then sent for Dick to the cabin,
where he gave us real entertainment
as ventriloquist, initiating all sorts of
animals and producing sounds as of wo-
men in distress and men singing out for
help in their berths; indeed, such was
his skill that I'd often see the skipper
and mate turning startled to look in the
direction whence the voice proceeded.
He made his peace with the men by
amusing them in the same way; so that,
instead of getting the representing aft
and the pummeling forward which he
deserved, he ended as real and general
favorite, and one of the most amusing
fellows that a man ever was shipmate
with used to tell him that if he chose
to perform ashore he was sure to make
plenty of money, since such ventriloquial
powers as his were the rarest thing in the
world; and I'dsometimes fancy he meant
to take my advice. But whether he
did or kept on going to sea don't know,
for after he left the ship l never saw nor
heard Of him again" london Telegraph.

he came up again to the skipper and
said Yes, sir! as a man might who an
swers to call. The skipper began to
swear at him and called him lunatic,
and so on, but the man, finding he was
wrong again, grew white, and swore that
if he was on his deathbed he'd maintain
that the captain had called him twice.
The skipper, who was rather a nervous
man, turned to me and said: What do
you make of this, Mr.. Green? / can't
doubt the cooks word Who is calling
him in my voice? oh, its some illusion,
sir" said l, feeling rather puzzleA for all
that But the cook, with tears actually
standing in his eyes, declared it was no
illusion; he'd know the captains voice if
it was nine miles off, and he then walk
ed in q dazed way toward the forecastle,
singing out that whether the voice be-
longed to a ghost or Christian man, it
might so on calling Cook for the next
twenty years without his taking further
notice Of it. This thing coming SO soon

greatly alarmed the two ordinary sea-

MALIsTyRvnLE, Pa, Feb. p, 81.
Mr.. Editor 1t has always bean
understood that everything that Ok
ists has had beginning, and that
King Solomon had said, there is a
time for everything under the sun.
Now, l believe it is about time to ask
for q convention to amend the State
constitution to reduce the number of
the members of the Legislature to
one hundred. [ believe that one
hundred good, sensible, practical
men will have sufficient Judgment to
pass any law of utility that may be
asked for or to give their reasons for
its rejection, just as well as 1000
men would DO. Why should we pay
one hundred and one men for look
ing on? would say 40 members in
the Senate to receive the proceedings
of the House is enough, being two
fifths of the number of the House.
Pennsylvania always got along legis-
lating with one hundred members in
the House, and thirty-three in the
Senate till the amendment to the con
stitution of 1873, and cannot notice
that we are any wiser, richer, or in
any manner better off financially than
before the late amendment to the
constitution which was hastily thrust
upon the people. before hall of them
had read it or understood it. 1t had
friends in the counties, among Ger.
tain men, who foresaw, that by its
adoption more members would be
required, and then there would be q
better chance for them to get in az
one Of that body which was regard
ed as honorable, which term is now

went TO screaming, aud as fast as the
neIghbors came i'll sent them off after a

wasn't long before the doctors began to
corgregate. Smith got there first and
looked the old man over. "Dead,"
says he, and be went away. Then
Brown came in. dead" says he.
Jones was the third one in, and be
rammed stomach pump down the old
mans throat aud pumped up the drug
store. Then he reversed the action
of the pump and flooded tho old man
with water, and, after sloshing him
around tor awhile-same as if he was
ripsing out a cider barrel-he pumped
out the water and then flooded him
again. Noxon wasn't in the habit of
taking SO much water in his'n, and
pretty soon he began to grasp and
kick. Before morning Jones had him
all right, and went away feeling dead
sure that there was but one frst-class
doctor in the world. A few days af
terwards he presented his bill. Whar's
this for! says old Noxon. "For saw.

but you've done a very foolish thing.
and 1t serves you right to lose your
