New HAVEN, February 25.-The
residents Of killlnywnrth: Il quiet little
town on the Sound, are very much cX-
crciscd over Il haunted housc, On q
lonely road near the centre Of the town
stands an old house OF peculiar con-
structon. 1t was in this mansion that,
Il decade ago, Mrs. Horace Higgins cut
the throats Of her three children while
they were asleep. They were buried in
the village charcfyard, and although the
other graves there arc covered in sum-
mcr with an abundant growth Of grass,
not blade ever grows OH the graves of
the children.
Their mother was adiudged insane and
confined in room overlooking the
graves. and every night until she died
She would stand ut the window gazing
on tho clock in the church tower near
by, moaning and craving pardon for her
crimes.
For many years the house had the
reputation of being haunted, and it al
most continuously remained tcnantless
until last summer, when the Ray family
Of Boston took it us Il summer residence.
The first night they slept there the two
tenants were nearly scared to death by
tic appariiou' Of woman i'll white
standI. at their bedroom window.
Loud and uncarihly noises echoed
through the house. Iii" next night Mr..
and Mrs. Ray SLY they saw the appari-
ton and they promptly @ayc np the
house. itcccntly only these facts were
learned by the Villagers and since then
several weird sights have, it is said,
been seen in the old mansion.

AT APPEAL TO COTTON PLANTERS.
Let them Unite Together to Protect Them
selves from the Spectators.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, February o.
The Interstate Agricultural Conycn-
ton, which has been in session at Jack

ed this eveulng. The following rcsolu'
ton was adopted, with an amendment
to include breadstuffs and long products
as well as cotton:
The manipulation by spectators OF
the cottoif crop of 1856, which so de-
pressed prices that they have fallen be-
| low the actual cost Of production, forces
upon the planters of the South the
necessity of relieving themselves. as far
as in their power lies, from the influence
of so ruinous a system rs that which
now controls the chief cxportablc pro-
ducts of the country, and with this end in
view the representatives Of the agricul-
tucal interests of Tennessee. i'll conTcn-
-ilsscn.bled, call upon our brother
fpliiiters osall the Southern States to

Emboldcncd by past success, the spccu-
lator has fixed the standard price for the

done before the seed has been put in the
ground, or even the ploughs have been
started. Cotton futures for the months

tcrtlllLcr SOllpitHiEH'
Two of the greatest drains upon our
country since the late war. without COM

been worthless insurance companies and
trihng fertilizers. They have sapped
deep, and TO the quick. They have play,
cd heavy game upon the upright, hon
est working man, and these wounds arc
slow to heal: leaving behind them scars
dcep-cut and lasting.
The old insurance business. which
was a tarnish upon'all honorable trans.
actions in most cases, is about dead and
a new, healthy growth has taken its
place; but its counterpart still stalks
boldly in the noon-day sunlight, seeking
whom it may dcvour. 1t bears the
gentle and euphonious name offcrtillzcr,
aud although no good seems to come
from most Of it, it frowns and kicks if its
utter worthlcssness is shown ur to those
whose patronage it seeks.
Recently some Of the shortcomings OF
these manufactures have been brought
to lioht by 4 careful and thorough
analysis. This is public property. and
the newspapers taking hold lave so used
it. For this sin, libel is threatened, war
IS declared and general destruction made

The latest Boston notion, by the way,
is the school of TheosoDhy," which pro
coed to illuminate waiting world with
Sunday morning lectures in the Haw-
thorne rooms. The last one on "Electri-
cito and Thought" doubtless holds in
solution much truth that is rot vet
formulated and tabulated by science.
The lecturer believed that between every
planet and star there is a cone of cleo
tricity, and that the mutual influence Of
the heavenly bodies on each other de-
termined the quality Of the spiritual sub
stance which is between words and stars
Between the earthly and spiritual he
conceives the astral sphere to exist which
affects all below it, but ceases to affect
the spiritual which has gone beyond.
He divi led persons into the positive
and negative, and regarded the trans
mission of thought from one to another
as no more marvellous than that of cleo
tricity. The process depends On tension.
Those having large degree of nervous
force can project their thought Into
another mind. Theosophy regards cleo
tricity as spiritual substance the same
as light. Science and psychology are
approaching the problems of life and
subjecting them to investigation and ex.
pertinent, and the next decade will I'M.
doubtedly be one of revelation teaching
that shall greatly influence the tendeR.
cies of social progress.-Lilian Within

LOST OPPORTUNITIES

Lost opportunities are val'ueless
except in one particular-the ex-
perlence they have brought. 1t is
useless to grieve over tb elm. Bren-
ham has lost several Opportunities
which would have been of material
benefit to her. She might have
had the Santa Fe extension TO
Navasota, which is now supplied
by the Bullfrog branch from Som
erville. As the branch was built
the people of Brennan instead of
uniting to secure tho extension
were kicking against the main
line. Bolton now has Baylor Fe-
male college and the biggest kind
of q big boom at the same time.
Brennan might with proper effort
have had the college or it could
have been retained at Indepen-
dence by building tramway from
here to that point, but instead of
doing anything or trying to do
anything the people simply sat
down, folded their hands and did
nothing. With Baylor college we
lose also several desirable citizens.
The BANNER has labored long and
asslduously for the upbuiIding OF
Brennan; it has met with reason
able success, bat it has also met
with signal failures; its efforts to
arouse an interest IN behalf of
Baylor Female college is one of
the failures, and tho merchants of
Brennan who sold fine goods at
retail TO one hundred OF more
young ladies who attended the
college will next fall miss their
custom o gread deal more than the
BANNER does. Not a single mer-
chant hore seemed to take any in
terest in the matter, no attempt
was made to raise a subscription.
1t is very unpleasant for the BAN
NER to say anything against the
city of Brennan, but there is no
use hiding the truth. Brennan is
fine town and has brilliant future
before lar. but 1t must always be
borne in mind thai the destiny OF
town is in the hands of its own
citizens; if they will work together
and foster and encourage enter
prlses from distance and extend
a liberal patronage TO the few
they have at home the town will
grow and improve beyond their
most sanguIne expectations, With
out this it must come to q standstill
and then recede. The country
surrounding Brennan is as good
as there Is in the state and there
is no reason why Brennan should
not have kept pace with Waco,
Sherman, Denison and other pro-
gressive towns in Texas. The
difficulty here is not lack of capt.
tai, but there Is a total lack OF
harmony among moneyed men, and
we must say, trace of lack of en-
terprise and public spirit. Money
invested in public enterprises may
pot yield sp immediate return or it
