The so-calIed ghost has been troub-

talked to them from the walls, and
having excited their curiosity, the
matter has finally leaked out, aud the

been concealed. A thorough search
failed to reveal the source from which
it came. The reporters were unable
to get further replies from the spirit,

very profane, and says that although

died it was occupied by log cabin.
The parties who occupy the house
are greatly excited over the affair, and
say they are unable to rest any time at

The following address issued by the
Democratic Executive Committee of
New York, shows the desperate means
resorted to to thwart the will of the
people:
HEADQUARTERS Dem. STATE Com,
HOFFMAN HOUSE,
NEW YORK, November 8, 1884. }
We deem it our duty to announce to
the people of the State that the Re-
publican managers have within the
last fOrty-eight hours conceived q new
scheme for throwing again into dispute
the result of the election. in our State.
For many days after the election they,
in entire bad faith, claimed for the Re-
publican candidate several States
which they knew they had not carried.
In the same bad faith, when every
source of information, including the
Associated Press, had demonstrated
that the vote of New York has been
given to the Cleveland electors, they
still claim the State. No fact of his
tory is now hetter known than that
the results of t le election as ascertain
ed, declared an certified by the elec-
ton officers and of the public recor'i
throughout the State, give New York
to the Cleveland electors by . decisive
plurality. These public certified r.
turns have been sifted in the several
counties by both parties with the most
conscientious care during the last 1Our
days, until every possible doubt as 10
the result has been removed. Know
ing this fact, they now propose, rs
last desperate resort, To make of the
Boards of County Canvassers through
out ths State where controlled by them
SO many returning boards, after the
pattern of those not long since used
by them in the Southern States.
Wherever the Boards fail them ju-
dicial orders are to be applied for.
Thus relying upon the partisanship of
the Boards in the first place, and juig-
es of their own political faith in the
second, they intend and expect to
throw again into dispute the result or
the election, and involve it in inte.-
minable litigation. To this end print
ed papers have been sent by them 10
their agents and representatives in ev-
cry county of the State of New York,
to be used with the courts whenever
an occasion can be manufactured. As
to the entire reliability of our infOr-
no question. We call upon the repre-
sentatives of the party in the various
counties of this State to be alert, aud
by every proper method to resist and
defeat this last desperate device. And
mindful of the grave consequences to
the business interests of our Stale
which such a conspiracy necessarily
involves, we deem it our duty to assure
our people, who have now generally
acqulesced in the result, that they may
confidently rely that by no such de-
vice or scheme will the State be de-
prived of the result of its deliberate
choice.
1t may disturb and protract the de-
termination, but it will not change the
result. w. +. SMITH,
Chairman Executive Committee.

A POrtsInOuth apple Tree Turns
20 q solid stone.
Portsmouth, (Ohiol Tribune.


Almost every one in Portsmouth
knows the location of l.awsun's or
chard," on the Ohio river, just above
town. The boys were wont 10 regard
with special favor a tree standing close
to the river bank, known as the "cin-
namOn apple tree" on account of the
peculiar pleasant flavor of the fruit
One day John Lenhart, i'll skirmishing
around that neighborhOOd, observed
that the cinnamon tree had fallen over
the river bank. 1t seems that the
weed OF the apple tree Is used by tin
ners as block upon which they do
their punching. Mr.. Lenhart asked
and received permission to take the
tree to his shop, where he cut off
block and stood the remainder of the
trunk against the fence in the rear of
his shop. This was six years ago.
The old apple tree occupied its posi-
ton without change until something
over year ago, when Mr.. Lenhart,
needing another block for his shop,
went one day to cut p; ce off the log.
Upon taking hold of il he thought the
log unusually heavy, and upon closer
examination was astonished to find it
solid stone.
Seven years ago Mr.. Lanhart ate
apples borne by this tree. The trunk
was from twelve to sixteen inches in
diameter. During the period of its
undergoing the change it was not i'm
bedded in the ground, but stood up
against the fence in the open air.
People make pilgrimage from all
parts of the world to visit the petrified
trees in Colorado, and learned saUants
have written elaborate and profound
essays showing thi. fossilized wood to
be the result of countless ages but
here in the back yard of tin shop,
Portsmouth quietly transforms apple
trees into stone which only yesterday
tree NAV be seen at Mr., Ltnhart's
stove store.

HUGH McCULLOCH,
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
!

Judge Gresham has retired from the
office of Secretary of the Treasury and
resumed judicial functions. He is sue
ceeied As head of the Treasury De-
partment by Hugh McCullorh, who,
rs all will remember, is veteran
financier. His official record AS such
is exceedingly high, and the conse-
quence ia that his reappointment to
the position he dignified during Presi-
dent JOhnsOn's administration, is re-
garded with universal satisfaction.
He is a native of Maine, and was
born at Kennebunk i'm 1910. His early
preference was for the profession OF
the law. In 1888 he was admitted to
the Bar and removed to Fort Wayne,
Indiana, where he opened an office
Shortly after he was offered the posi-
ton of Cashier of the State Bank of
Indiana. He accepted it, and thus
made the turning point in his life, that
from which his entire future has been
developed. His connection with the
State Ban K of Indiana, as Cashier and
Director, lasted until the year 1857,
when he was elected President of the
State Bank. In 1863 President Lin
coin appointed him Comptroller Of the
Currency. This was followed by his
being made Secretary of the Treasury,
March Z, 1865. After the death of Mr.,
Lincoln Mr.. McCulloch was continued
in the same position, which he held
throughout the administration of Pres
ident johnson, until March IL, 1869,
when Mr.. Boutwell,, appointed by
President Grant, succeeded him.
Thereupon Mr.. McCulloch established
in London the banking house of Jay
Cooke, McCullock & Co., with which
he continued until the disastrous een'
dition of business in the United States
led to the suspension of Jay Cooke d
Co., in 1873. The London house was
then reorganized under the name O
McCulloch & Co. In 1874 Mr.. Me
Culloch returned to this country. Sine
then he has been interested in a mum
ber of financial enterprises, but has
not been conspicuously identified with
any. He has lived during the Winter
in Washington, and has spent the
pleasanter months of the year on hi:
farm, which is situated about six miles
north of the capital city.
Mr.. McCulloch is well-preservet
old gentleman. Every confidence il
felt in his ability to administer the
affairs OF the Treasury Department
with old-time success, especially SO d
the finances ofthe country are in mucf
better condition now than when HI
superintended them formerly. UpOI
his return to the Department he foun'
there considerable number of EN-
ployes who had held positions during
his earlier administration.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer in an ed

THE Cincinnati Enquirer in an ed
itorial on the Scott law decision, says :
If the Scott law could put ST 200, 900
q year into the Golfers of the people, it
would be no nearer the constitutional
line than if the revenue amounted to
less than the cost of collection, The
men who are denouncing the court
merely because a different decision
might have put more money into the
treasury, have a contempt for the
common principles of law and govern
ment that ought to make them con-
tsmptible. Proper regulation of the
liquor traffic is not barred by the late
decision of the Supreme Court. The
majority of the Judges have merely
fortified cor stitutional principle that
ought to be of general application not
subject to such exceptions as the ca
price or self interest of M uas ne pol
1ticians may suggest.

thing to the common interest.

1T is stated by those in position to
know that not less than six million
dollars were expended in the campaign
made to elect Jim Blaine. 1t has come
to that pass that the Republicans have
no faith in any principle except the
power of money as basis for corrup.
tion. This low, groveling view is de-
grading to the country. but it is all
there is to expect from the party that
had the effrontry to undertake to make
Blaine President. But the Jay Gould
corruption fund failed of its work.
