Haunting the Placid Bosom of the
Tennessee.

A wonderful phenomenon was wit
messed on the Tennessee river a few nights
since, says the Chattanooga Times, and
mysterious incident recently intensifes
the intereat attaching to it. The Tennes-
see has no myths, no legends Of fairies or
traditions Of supernatural Yisitants, yet
many occurrences like this viii give the
stream a glamour Of the mysterious, and
it will be but little while to associate
its name with hobgoblins and ghosts.
Tue incident related below is an actual
occurrence, and can be attested BY
dozen gentlemen, each one OF whom is
~en known and respected in this city.
The steamer lockwood passed Garrison's
Bluff, near Soddv Shoals. about Is miles
above the city, Thursday evening aboIt
O'Clock. just as she ti0ated gracefully
down the channel, Pilot Harrison, a
veteran river man, who has sat in the
pilot box for 80 years, saw ahead OF him a
spectral light on the water. 1t arose from
the centre OF the stream and gently
fiOated toward the shore He quickly
aroused the entire boat by calling to the
clerk, Mr.. Charley Cochran, and told him
to look anead. Several passengers rushed
to the sides and peered into the darkness.
Mr. Cochran, Mir. WintOu, of Roberts
Winton & Co., and others among the
number. They saw a little behind the
boat the light. Mr.. Cochran at first sup
posed it was lantern in a canoe, but on
closer examination saw it was several
feet above the surface OF the stream. He
then supposed it was a luminous balloon,
as it mad its motion, but the country about
was uninhabited and that theory was i'm
possible. The light flOated laZily through
the air, sWaying now up, now down, and
finally was seen to rise above the trees on
the shore. MIR. Ninton watched it for
fully a quarter of an hour and saw it
float above the forest and disappear over
ridge. 1t moved slowly; the glow was
steady, not brilliant. The passengers
were somewhat startled by the strange
sight, and none ventured an explanation.
| The pilot said he had been on these waters
for fifty years. but never before had he
seen such phenomenon.
! Recently the boat made another return
| trip. The passengers were in the cabin
chatting pleasantly, when suddenly
/ lady, who had been citing on the deck,
/ was heard to scream. All rushed out,
! and she explained that while she was look
! ing at the placid stream, suddenly the
/ surface became troubled and splashed,
| opening into deep CULTS and breaking into
! high waves and as quickly settled and
4 became still. Ast that juncture the clerk
/ exclaimed: "Why thisis the very spot
/ where we saw the spectral light" This
! proved to be true, and all the passengers
/ were anxious to hear the story, and 1t was
| told. The lady who had seen the water
/ splash, had not heard the story of the
! light.

FIGHTING CHOLERA GERMS.
Experiments Made with Bales OF Rage
and Destroying agent.

%
and a Destroying gent.
A new process Of disInfecting imported
rags suspected of being infected with
cholera or any contagious germs, says
the New York Times, was tried
in Bartlett's stores, Brooklyn, recently
The process was invented by DR.. Pollock
and its experimental trial was conducted
by MAJOR George Nj. Sternberg, of the
United States army, who is stationed at
the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore,
and is an expert in the matter of conta-
gi0us elements.
The apparatus used consists of a box
large enough 10 hold gOod-sized bale Of
rags. Five long and powerful hcllOw
auEer-shaped screws worked by steam
project from the back of the box to the
opening in front. A bale Of rags was
placed at the mouth of the box
and the revolving screws punctur.ng it
drew it slowly into the box, the door Of
which was then tightly shut, making the
box almost air tight. Previously, how
ever, Major Sternberg had placed in the
bale some infected germs which he had
brought with him in dozen or more
walls. The rags were charged with
SUR ThurOus acid gas, which is a perfect
OAidG CONTAINING no water. Inc O1SlD-
fection was believed to be complete after
a three minutes application of the sui
phurOus fumes.
Another experiment was tried with the
same box and a second bale of rags. This
time steam was injected into tine rags
through the hollow screws, ana the tenn
perature in the box, as shown by ther-
m0meter, went up to $50. Fifteen min
utes Of this intense heat was considered
sufficient to XIII the germs. The bale of
rags was thoroughly saturated with
steam after it was taken out Of the box.
After each experiment Major Sternberg
removed the germs which he had pre-
viOusly placed in the bales, and he will
keep them-until 1t can be determined be-
Yond doubt whether they are dead or
not. The Major wilt soon make report
to the Secretary Of the Treasury regard
ing the result of these experiments.

HE GOT A SEAT.
The Company was Not Unreasonable in

Inc Company was Not Unreasonable in
its Requirements as to Deadhead-.
There were a number Of parlor cars and
two ordinary passenger coaches, say the
New York Sun, on a train which lett New
York for Philadelphia at O'Clock a few
nights ago. Every seat in the passenger
coaches was occupied in one way aud an
other when the last boat arrived from
New York. Among the people who came
at the last moment was a fiery and un-
tamed-loOking Irishman, whose face was
fringed with = wealth Of ecra hair. He
walked through the smoking car, found
every seat occupied by tive men, and
then burst into the next car inpetuously.
The air at once became redolsRt Of rum.
He cast his eye up and down on either
side Of the car and saw that every seat
was occuped by parcels, luggage, feet. or
the spra Wing forms of passengers. One
or two Of the seats had been turRed. and
one gray-haired man, who had specially
lank complement of legs, succeeded in
occupying two benches by dint OF
stretching himself out like an octopus,
and iugeui0uely filling in the spaces not
occupied bv himself on the two benches
with bits of luggage. The IFishman di-
rected toward him a glare OF uausuAl fe-
rocity, lie walked the long length Of tAe
car twice but the passenger carefully
avoided his gaze. Apparently they we're
ali sleeping serenely. Then ne leaned
against the door and careIessly placed his
hand on the stove. He removed the hand,
wal sed to the other end Of the car and
washed bis hand carelessly with water
from the ice tank. The train was now
speeding across the Jersey meadows.
Still no one offered to share his seat with
the latest arrival, and the lrishman went
back and leaned against the door once
more. Finally he raised his voice 30 that
II could be heard a considerable distance
into the next car. and remarked, with an
air Of philosophical observation:
'.People don't seem to realize that this
here is second class. 1t is just the same,
and the first class cars are in the rear.
The second class chumps which ls now
occupying the safes puts on twice as
mnay lugs as the first class ladies' and
gintlemen behind us. That IS because
they are not first class ladies and gintIe-
men themselves, but simply second class
chumps."
A silence Of several minutes followed
this speech. which was finally broken by
two or three men moving towards the
corners Of their seats and placing thelT
bags ard satchels on the floor. Then the
voice Of the man in the rear rose again
1 above the hum OF the wheels.
"Thera is no hog like an old hog,' he

Remarkable LX5r.ot. From Letters
Hitherto Unpublished.
The collection Of jbe correspondence OF
Napoleon /. iust pab ished, says the Paris
Horuipg NclcS, contains some remarkable
hints on the art Of government. The En-
peror, tor instance, shows by a letter 10
his brother Joseph, when the latter was
King OF Naples, how he would have con-
Quoted the expulsion of the religious Or
der-:
II must say that | was not pleased with
the preamble OF your order for suppress
ing tine mOnasteries. With regard to ali
that concerns religion YOU must use the
language OF religion, and not that Of phi
l0sopby. That is the great art OF the per-
son who governs. v by speak of the ser
wees rendered to art and science by
monks?
"One supports i'll treatment much more
readily from person VINO is of cur way
OF thinking than from a person VINO diff
iers in opinion from you. Your preamble
IS philosophical and an insult to the men
you evict. You should have said that
tAe great uumher Of monks rendered their
existence d tiicult, tAat Ii was necessary
for their dignity that they should have
enough to live upon, and hence reform
was Indispensable.
Men wIll support misfortune when 1t

it is not apparent that the blow comes
from an enemy to the cloth. Now, the
enemies of the monks are men of letters
and philosophers. You know that | my
self 90 not Ike them, for / have destroyed
them everywhere"
NapOleon's sentiments in regard to
lawyers are shown in remarkable epis-
tie in which ne reproves his Arch Cnan-
cellor for having framed a decree which
placed the bar in too Independent a po-
sitiOn:
There is nothing in your decree which

The Apaches In Yuma.

We are in receipt of circular letter from William J. Osborn, Secretary of the Society of Arizona Pioneers, containing a number of preamhles and resolutions, passed by the. Pioneers at a meeting held at Tucson on the 5th instant, giving ex. pression of their feelings on the Apache outbreak and devising plans to stop and to capture the. hostile Indians. The pre- anbles and resolutions are quite volumin- oas and take iD the entire subject. Among other things it was resolved that the members of the society residing in the several counties of the Territory use their best endeavors to call the people of their respective localities together in mass meeting, Saturday, June 13, 1885. to the end, that united action may be taken on the question of Indian outrages in this Territory, and that free expression of the people may be had. In pursuance of this resolution Judge PuIdy, who is the only member in Yuma of the Society of Territorial Pioneers, has called meeting of the citizens of this county this evening at the Court House al o'clock P. M. The object of the meeting more fully stated, is to pass resolutions in the shape of 6 memorial to be sent to Washington, that we may have better system of protec- ton from the Apaches and other hostile Indians in this Territory.

Frank. last Thursday evening at their residence on Madison Avenue, in honor of their bright and beautiful child, Eliza, who had upon that day, attained the age of one year. Dancing, social con- versation, and congratulating the little bud" upon her birthday formed the prin- cipal features of the evening. At l2 o'clock the guests present were invited to partake of a splendid supper. For Il desert the guests were served with straw. berries, cherries and other rare fruits, which our host obtained for the occasion.

OUR SENTIMENTs.-The Arizona Miner" reiterates our sentiments in the following language: It puzzles the mere unmilitary layman to decide why such troublesome ruffians as Geronimo and Victoria, when once in the clutches of the authorities, are allowed to go, so that again they may murder the industrious settler and pick of the solitary cowboy. The work of past years has this year to be done all over again. When once captured, these scalpers of innocent children ani murderers of unprotected women should be shot.

A NEW SCHOOL DISTRICT. .-One of the best signs of prosperity in any com- munity is the building of school houses and the organizing of new school dis tricts. We have little settlement at An telope, in this county, composed mostly of hart-working and honest Americans, who are doing theIr best to "evolve order out of chaos." The settlement is but about five months old and in that time it has accomplished AS much as many other communities would nave accom- plished in as many years. John w.. Fryer, one of the leading spirits of that place was in Yuma last Monday and Tuesday for the purpose of taking steps towards organizing 8 school district at Antelope. but found that it was too late as the school year would end the 30th of thls month. The proposed boundaries for the new district are as follows: Commencing at a point due north from Mission Camp on first standard south. U. s. survey, and running east to county lIne; thence south to county line; thence west, along county line to a point due south from place of beginning; thence north to the place of beginning. We see nothing in MT. Fryer's way to go ahead and get the school district located and in working order, and be ready for the next years school apportionment when they can maintain a successful school for greater portion of the year.
