his hail like, The Zenobia, 600 tons; John

left the rats to feed upon themselves, but
we brought off the parrot and the dog,

A GHOST-HAUNrSD SHIP.
Every Man on Board Dead, Yet Voice
Halls the Rescuer.
From, the Boston Bulletin.

From, the Boston Bulletin.
"You see, messmates," says the old quar-
termaster, as he seats himself comfortably
again, ''in seafaring lite we meet with
many rough jobs that are out of all sordi-
nary calculations and what them as haven't
been to sea wouldn't hardly believe. There
was that ship we fell in with in the China
sea-that was an odd thing, that was.
at was only just after daylight in the
morning watch as some one sung out
Sail ahead But it wasn't much of SAIL
for there was only one mast-the foremost
standing, but a big ship agoing steady
afore the wind, with her foretopsail set but
not hauled taut, but all Tapping like. Well,
we see as there was no ono aboard, or if SO
be there was, they didn't know how to man
age her. So when we'd run down n little
anead of her we lowered boat, and | was
one of the boats crew as went aboard; and
as we pulled up to her we could see robody
ON board, but only heered a dog barking;
and when we went up the side, sure
enough there was half-starved dog sit
ting upon the body of a man; and when he
sees us sets I'D a dreadful bowling, but still he
didn't seem displeased to see us. but threw
back his ears, though he looked dreadful
melancholy and down in the mouth. But
the curious thing was to sees he number of
rats that were running about the decks, for
the ship was waterlogged, and the rats were
driv up from below and obliged TO shift for
themselves.
"Well, there were three more dead bodies
living about and when we come to look at
them the rats had eat most of their faces
and Iecks, and ripped open their jackets to
get at their flesh elsewhere, but the corpses
as the dog was sitting on they hadn't been
able to touch; for, you see, the rats, they
lived upon the dead bodies, and the dog he
lived upon the rats-so we supposed by the
carcass of one of 'em as was lying near him.
And such rats as they were | never seal
most as big as half-grown rabbits, and so
tame that they didn't make no account of
u.s. You see, they'd been so familiar with
the bodies aboard that they looked upon us
as so many sheep and cattle, or what not,
as was come aboard for their live stock.
"Well, we tried to get into the cabin, but
that was full Of water and SO was every
thing below decks; and there was no name
upon the stern, or we couldn't make it out,
where the ship was from, or where bound;
and we searched the captains pockets, but
couldn't find no memorandum nor name,
only love letter sewed up in a piece of
oilskin inside his jacket, and signed
Sarah And when we wepe thinking what
was best to be done, whether to throw the
bodies o veaboard or what, a voice, as seemed
close to us, sung out in a curious low tone
more like females than mans, Ship
anoy, there! What ship is thatF
"Well, that started us almost out of our
senses; for we couldn't see nothing, and the
DO lies on deck was dead we knew by reason
their faces was eat; and says one OF the
men, 1T must be the dog says he; 'heve
been thinking over to hisself all he've

THE SENSATION OF THE SEASON, A SUS-
PENSION IN OUR
Millinery Department.

No matter how thorough the
system may be, no matter how
watchful we are, in a large
and extensive establishment
like ours, "odds and ends"
''soiled goods % goods that
are not the extreme latest
STYLE" etc. will accumulate;
on goods of this kind we cal
culate to lose money. Since
the summer has set in we've
been gradually culling out
the odd lots that have been
accumulated in one depart
ment and another, until, in its
turn, we have come to the
MILLINERY DEPARTMENT. In
this department we've struck
a snag, by gosh"-as uncle
Alvin would say-we've run
across several cases of very
fine quality hats, some trim
med, some untrimmed, some
of not much merit, others of
good sterling value. THESE
GOODS MUST GO; price is no
consideration. But go they
must, so in order to close them
out in our grand sacrificing
sale, we have decided to sus-
pend business in our Millinery
department, until
Saturday, Aug. II,
When we shall open, mot with brass band
accompaniment, nor with ''Tybee orchestra'O.
but with plain ungarnished truthful bargains in
the shape of Millinery Goods Of decided value

The TRADE.

THE coming season promises to be a pros
i porous one notwithstanding it being a
campaign year and universally supposed to be
q bad one for business
1t may may not be so, but there is one
thing we do know and that is, the season now
quickly passing has been more than good with
us and we owe il entirely to the manner of con
Quoting our business.
We do not trouble ourselves as to the ques-
ton of free trade or protection. We leave that
for wiser heads than ours. But we have little
platform of our own in which you will find one
PET PLANK which We never change, and that
is THOUGHTFULNESS and CONSIDERATION
for the interest our customers and BIG BAR
GAINS for LITTLE MONEY. And how do we
accomplish it? you naturally ask. Our answer
is this In the first place, our method of CON
Quoting business is such that we cannot help
but succeed in our efforts to please and benefit
our customers. In the second place the pleas
ure to each and every customer TO know that

goods and carpets especially the expressions
Of satisfaction have been particularly numer-
GUS and decided These are specialties with
the house and more pains have been taken
this year than ever with the stock, and they
are perfect. The sales, which are larger than
the house has ever had at this season, dem
onstrate that the people are satisfied. These
too, are stocks in which every one now Is
interested, the carpet line particularly and
the advantages offered are so markedly supe-
rior TO what any other house is able to offer
that no buyers can afford to not to call here
before buying.
The other lines in the dry goods house
and in the boot and shoe department are
equally complete, and are offered at prices
that are bound to satisfy the most thoroughly
informed buyer Indeed, those most ac'
ouainted with the values Of goods, Will
most fully appreciate the reality OF the
bargains here offered in all departments.
This is indeed the cheap stack Of the
county, as we'll as the most complete in
every detail, and buyers are requested tf

BUSINESS Change.

By advertisement elsewhere it will be seen
that Messrs. Thomas and Hugh Colwell have
purchased the lumber yard of W. W. Nash,
on La Sale street, just north of the canal.
The new proprietors purpose to continue the
business in the most thorough manner, car
rying full line of lumber, etc., to meet all
demands Of the country and city trades.
The we'll known reputation Of this firm for
correctness of business methods, liberality
in the treatment Of their patrons and the
public, and their enterprise and push in all
things they undertake, will Of course make
themselves felt in this new business venture
and commend the yard to the patronage of
its old customers as well as largely extend
its business in all directions. They invite
buyers to call on them for estimates for all
purposes and in any quantity.

For u Celebration July Atm.
A rather small meeting numerically, but
large, IL stability In tho business world and
enthusiasm we're counted. Mayor Allen
called 10 order, with Louis Hess behind the
pencil. A number expressed their opinions
az to Ottswa's claims for the county this
year, and the sense Of the meeting seemed to
tend with the speakers.
Ottawa has held aloof for two years, and
has been content to attend the celebrations
held in neighboring cities; and it is no less
than fair that the surrounding towns pay
their respects to Ottawa on July 4th. Ottawa
is capable of engineering celebration OF
great magnitude, and the probabilities are
that she will do so this year; II enough
money be raised.
A committee on finance, composed OF
Messrs. J. F. Reed, W. C. Riale, Charles
Metzger, Al, Schoch, l.. A. Rising. ID. A.
Maher and F. A. Kendall, was appointed al
the meeting and have been working all week
with considerable success.
The programme will not be arranged until
they report and 1t is sscertained how much
money can be obtained
The next meeting will be held on Monday
evening.
