Ghosts in the NIaintop.

The scene of ghostly experience has been shifted to the sea. An English newspaper says the mate of ship, name not given, ordered some of the youths to reef the maintopsail When the first got up he heard strange voice saying, Ut blows hardr' The lad waited for no more; he was down in trice and told his adventure. A second immediately ascended, laughing at the folly of his companion, but returned even moro quickly, declaring that he was quite sure that voice, not of this world, had cried in his ear, s'It blows hard!' Another went. and another, but each came back with the same tale.
 At length the mate having sent up the whole watch, ran up the shrouds him. self, and when he reached the haunted spot heard the dreadful words distinctly uttered in his ear: ..a
 Ut blows hard"
 .sAy, ay, old one, but blow it ever so hard, we must ease the earrings for all that" replied the mate undauntedly, and looking around he saw fine parrot perched on one of the clcws-the thoughtless author of the false alarms which had prooaoly escaped rom sone other vessel to take refuge on this.
 Another of our officers mentioned that on one of his voyages he remembered a boy having been sent up to clear rope which had got foul above the mizzentop. Presently, however, he came back trem- bling and almost tu,nbling to the bot tom, declaring that he had seen "Old Dayy" aft the crOSStreeS. The mate, ln a rage, at length mounted himself, when resolutely, as in tho former case, searching for the bugbear, he soon ascer- tained the innocent cause of so much terror to be a large horned owl, so lodged as to be out of sight to those who as- cended on the other side of the vessel, but which, when any one approached tho crosstrees, popped up its portentous visage to see what was coming.-New York Mail and Express.

Writing Eo,.aon NEiN

Everybody who has been to school knows the Roman numerals, and they are always used on clocks and watches. What everybody don't know, however, is that tho representations of tho fourth figure on tho dial of a timepiecc are never made as they should be. according to the arithmetics, for instead of being " it is invariably written HI. Just why this is done has never been reason ably explained. Some watchmakers say it is to avoid mixing up " with V and VI, and that is really the only reason that I have ever heard. But nobody seems to know, without looking at a timepiece, how it is written, and have never yet met any one who did not, when asked, write 1t " instead of HI, and never yet saw q timepiece on the dial of which o'clock was written ".

Terpsicllorcan Pedestrianisn,.

Have you any idea how many miles a
 dancing girl gets over in single evening? l don't mean more or less wall flower, or one who sits out her dances-alone or otherwise-but real lover of waltzing, who dances everything from beginning to end, and looks almost as fresh at the end of the evening as she did at the be- ginning Tom-who is very fond of hav- ing all those sort of things at his fingers ends-had learnt it all up. Some man has been attending several dances with pedometer in his pocket, and he finds that the average distance traversed dur ing an evening of twenty-tNvo dances IS thirteen and one-haf miles! If any girl of ones acquaintance was asked to go on an equally long walk, she would just say it was impossible; at least, I know should; but somehow, when ono has a pleasant partner, good music and good floor in well lighted room, one scarcely stops to consider how much ground one has got over. The average length of one waltz is half milc while a polka is three-quarters; and even the lancers are a quarter of mile ong.-London Figaro.

soFF,s BLASTED HOPES,


 The long protracted deadlock in the West Virginia legislature was broken yesterday by the choice of Senator Kenna, the two obstinate democratic members coming into line and giving their votes to the caucus nominee. With MT Kenna's election went out the ambition and the hopes of Nathan Golf.
 Mir Golf has been building great castles in West Virginia-his waking and sleeping hours have been haunted by visions of political power against which the ambition of no man should prevail. When he had himself nominated for governor last fall it was loudly proclaim ed that he was to carry the state for Harrison and to redeem it from demo- cratic control in the state offices. In before they had broken the shell-the ballots told the same tale, West Virginia was democratic again. Mir Kennas seat was the next prize of his ambition. Un- fortunately for Mir Nathan Golf, how ever, Mir Kenna took it into his head that he ought to have another term in the senate, and straightway he made his preparations to that end. Un- disturbed by enmities in his own party, unterrified by the great corruption fund at Mir Goff's disposal, and undismayed by the promises of political reward that were held out to unfriepdly democrats if they would bolt him, Mir Kenna by the sheer force of his own indomitable will brought all the dissentient forces into line, and yesterday saw the culmi- nation of his hopes and the crushing out of Mir Goff's ambition. The success of his rival brings double disappointment to Mir Golf. Had he been less anxious in the pursuit of senatorial honors it is not unlikely he might have been chosen by General Harrison to represent the south in his cabinet. It is not probable, however, that at this late day cabinet lightning will strike in his.neighborhood, and so like Tantalus he must be content with seeing the fruits of power dangling just beyond his greedy clutch. It is this that makes his defeat doubly hard to bear.
 West Virginia is to be congratulated on having done her duty so nobly. It would have been most unwise for a democratic legislature to elect republi- can senator, or to make his election pos sible. There are enough of these already from democratic states, like New York and Connecticut, without increasing the number from states where democrats are on equal terms with their opponents at the polls. MT Kennas success, like that of every other democrat, is a cause of congratulation to the democracy of the entire nation.

SPRING ELECTIONS.

New Yorks move for municipal cleo tions in the spring goes on apace. The Young Mems Democratic club of the city has taken a hand by preparing bill, which will be sent to Albany, pro- yiding for change in the present tune of holding these elections. The bill pro- vides that the present elective officials shall hold office until the expiration of their terms, and that on the first Tues day after the first Monday in April, 1890, and every two years thereafter the mayor, comptroller, president of the board of aldermen, etc, shall be elected for the legal terms.
 In most states the cities have their local elections at times other than when state or national officers are elected, and the method has been found to work bet ter than that in vogue in New York city. Local interests are entirely diff ferent from those associated with state and nation, and political lines are not always closely drawn in the election of municipal officers. The disposition to
 
 best for the property and personal inter ests of the voter is likely to guide the ballot when no extraneous considera- tions operate to the contrary, and there is less room for deals and combinations that may sacrifice local interests. Too often has it happened that New York city politicians have de- cided presidential contests by their engineering and the danger is always abroad that the will of the people may be defeated through their wiles and schemes. New York state occupies 2 very important position i'll presidential elections, and the electoral vote of the state, ordinarily speaking, is determined by the result of the contest in the metrop- oils. Where, as in the last election and in that of 1880, the politicians are bound to elect their man for mayor, there are likely to be complications through which the national ticket will be sacrificed The present method of holding national, state and municipal elections on the same day gives opportunities for corrup- tion, bargains and trading that ought not to exist.
 If the effort of the young democrats of New York succeeds and the time be changed from November to April the city and state of New York, and the entire United States, will be the gathers.

The four days speech made by Senator Coke of Texas recalls some lengthy speeches previously made in congress. Henry A. Wise once spoke seven days in succession in the house on the corrup- tion of Van Buren's administration. Thomas H. Benton made memorably long speech once in the senate, extend ing over several days, on some trouble that his son-in-law, Colonel Fremont, had in the army. But the longest speech ever printed in the Congres sional Record was that of Senator Jones of Nevada on the silver question some eight or ten years ago. It would have made portly volume and contained mine of infor- nation.

wATERBURY'S WATER SUPPLY

If, as MT Robert K. Brown told the legislative committee on finance on Wednesday, Waterbury can get all the water it wants by the expenditure of $S, 900 or S10,000, the citizens generally will be disposed to agree with him that there ought to be no extensive addition, such as is proposed, to our bonded in debtedness is very great, and the ad- dition of S35O, ,000 will make it very close to round million dollars. This is en- tirely too much for city of this size, and the unusually high tax rate that now prevails is going to be the biggest obstacle that our board of trade will have to contend with in inducing new enter prises to come to Waterbury.
 But can we get all the water needed at the small outlay mentioned by MT Brown? That an additional supply is needed is conceded generally, and even those who oppose the issue of water bonds do not deny it. If, however, SIG, ,O00 will secure all the water the city
 
 and the engineer who have recommended so large an outlay must. have made a sorry mess of their calculations. This we are hardly prepared to believe with out better proof than MT Browns asser- tion, and it may be pertinent to remark that the pennywise and pound-foolish theory should not prevail in this matter of an increased water supply. Water bury has been singularly fortunate in re- gard to fires, but we cannot hope always to be so, and if our water supply is to be a constantly recurring source of worry we must expect that the underwriters will make living in Waterbury addi- tionally expensive by raising the rates of fire insurance. It might be a wise economy to make an outlay for water at this time that would settle the question of supply for many years to come. Whether it would not be better to bond the city outright and make this outlay now, rather than to continue the patch work system that would result from MT Browns way of doing, is something for the citizens seriously to consider.
 In one thing, however, we are disposed to agree with MT Brown, and that is to sense the feeling of the citizens on the matter, either by public meeting or by a special election. The citizens ought to have something to say as to whether | they want to take on an additional debt and if plan can be devised that will insure an intelligent and conclusive pop. ular judgment it ought to be accepted Whether the court of common council would be willing to surrender the rights that properly belong to it of deciding the amount of bonds required and the outlay that shall be made for water supply is, however, something that must be reckoned with. The council could dc something useful, though, if it would settle without unnecessary delay what source of supply should be chosen. Ther the citizens could proceed with some conception of what is needed in the way of an issue of bonds.
