BLOOMSBURY, Pa. FRIDAY. AUGUST q. 1885,

for our unearthly visitor, for he gave
tongue no more that night We went
to bed, aud dreamed that the spirit
of cbimney-sweep appeared TO me
and confessed to the murder of one of
the little boys, who were still employ
ed in those days in his profession.
We left the Office early in the after
noon. We secured the services of an
intelligent sweep and sharp little
bright eyed boy. Up he went. We
waited in suspense.
When he came down he reported
that he had found nothing. We
questioned him eagerly, but he had
seen no ghost or anything belonging
to one. We sent him up again. This
time he found out something. This
chimney communicated with the one
next door,
THAT will be the kitchen chimney
next door," said my brother. 1--WE
must explore that" Our landlady was
considerably amazed when we present
ed ourselves and asked to be allowed
to explore. After little demur, how
ever, she consented. There was but a
small fire in the CRATE, and this was
taken out.
81 don't make it up until II o'clock
at night" she explained. "Not until
my master comes home tired after his
days work. Then we have our bit of
supper aud drink our grog, and we like
to see a cheerful blaze. But in the
day l don't trouble about it" The
boy went up smartly and shortly re.
appeared.
"Why, you've got a smoke jack up
there misss," said he.
"What's smoke jack ~ said my
brother hastily. The sweep explained.
dts h-apparatus for roasting
meat, fixed in the chimbley. 1t has
little sails, Just like windmill, only
they are laid flat instead of being up
right. The hot air comes up from the
fire and blows these sails round. Then
there's cog-wheel and that commu-
nicates the motion to a fy-wheel. A
chain passes round the tly-wheel, COM
ing down to the CRATE, aud turns the
spit"
"But where are the chains ?"
"Oh they've been taken off, I suppose.
1t isn't used now"
Il didn't know it was there" said
our landady.
doesn't it make noise' 7" asked my
brother, with quick look at me.
1--WE don't hear it replied the land
lady indifferently.
"Will," said my brother, "just run
back to the bedroom and listen. l be-
lieve we've got it. am going to send
the boy up to turn the thing" l did
as he requested. When l got into the
room the ghost was groaning in splen-
did form. He was going far faster
than l had ever heard him before.
The mystery was solved.
During the day the current of
hot ar was not strong enough to
act on the blades and set the revolving
portion of the machine in motion.
But when the great fire was made up
at night the force was ample. The re-
volving portion of jack is raised to a
small extent from the frame and bear
ing of the pivot on which it revolves.
Reduce the force of the current by
letting the fire 60 out, and the blades
of the jack descend. The revolutions
become gradually slower and slower.
The pivot bearing had no fabrication,
and consequently made the groaning
noise.
We kept our secret. We were the
admiration of every one who knew the
story of the house. And for very
substantial reduction in the rent of q
very comfortable house we had to
thank the Groaning Ghost.

The interment took place in St. Bernard's cemetery.

The Typographical Union.


 We think the Typographical union of New Haven are going too far in the remarkable demand they make of the JOURNAL AND COURIER of that city. We feel quite sure that the Knights of Labor will not approve of that demand, for it is not in the interest of policy which is intended to protect labor. On the contrary, it leads to oppres- sion. The JOURNAL AND COURIER had con scented to the requests of the Typographical union, as to prices to be paid their compost tors, etc. Then the union demanded that they should dismiss number of compost tors who did not belong to the Typographi- cal union, and who could not gain admit tance, the union refusing to receive them. The demand of the Typographical union, then, was simply this: "You shall not em- ploy (six or eight) of the men who now work for you, and who have been employed by you for years to your satisfaction and theirs Those men shall not be permitted to join the Typographical union; and driven from your office they can get no work in any union office" This is the amount of the unions demand upon the JOURNAL AND COURIER; on reflection, and with the advice and cool counsels of the Knights of Labor, we think they will withdraw that demand which seems to he so unreasonable
