Th.ir Death. Forsto,d BY /. Ghost.

Robert Withers, M. A. Vicar Of
Gately, England, in 17O6, relates, in a
publication of that time, the following
singular story Of the supernatural:
"Mr. Grose went to see Mr.. Shaw
on the 2nd Of August last. As they
were talking in the evening Mr.. Shaw
says: On the 21st Of last month, as !
was smoking a pipe and reading in
my study, between eleven and twelve
o'clock at night, in comes Mr.. Naylor
formerly fellow of st. Johns Col
lege, but who had been dead for four
years.. When I saw him I was not
much affrighted, and I asked him to
sit down, which, accordingly, he did
for about two hours, and we talked to-
gether. asked him how it Jared with
him. He said: Very WELL Were any

after. As he was going away I asked
him If he would not stay little long

three days leave of absence, and he

The millionaire senators of the
United States claim that the meager
salary Of $1,000 year dose not justi-
fy them in neglecting their large pri-
vate business, and are clamoring for .
raise. 1t occurs to us that there is
too much Doodle in the senate anyway,
and We believe there are just a. able
men with, perhaps less burdensome
private business, to be found in every

A Pretty x,..i. Sos.

A boy carrying a largt bouquet q

pinks entered Cottage Grove avenue

and ner Nv, wools.s dress, spotlessly white,
Everybody was admirink t,c child.
No sooner had the flower boy entered
than tho car was filed with the per.
fume of the roses and heliotrope. The
little, girl soon discovered Il and quick
lygave up her observation from the
car window. She appfUached her
mother and began tads1ng for some
Of the flowers. Finally when she
found out that her mother could no,
procure any Of the much wished fol
roses the child vent right up to the
boy: u
asked.
The chances were nine to ten that
the boy wouldn't give any. BUTT was
perhaps because the little girl was &c
sweetly, charming that he detached q
couple Of handsome red roses and
gave them to her. Triumphantly
she returned to her mother.
The roses were pinned to hel
bosom. At Twentieth street the boy
got off. Quickly the little girl jumped
on the seat. But it was on the wrong
side from that on which the boy was.
She jumped off, went to the other seat,
and looked cut Of the window. She
saw the boy, and he, noticing her,
waved his hand. Then she, putting
her rosy fingers to her mouth, threw
him two, three kisses. It was so sweet

down and inhaled her flowers. Chi

A SAGACTOUS PRESIDENT.

The newspaper craft is not in con
tempt with President Harrison, and il
that he shows an admirable sagacity
Four Of his appointments to importan,
posts have been Of editors, to.wit: his
private secretary, is editor Halford;
minister to France, Whitelaw Reid;
consul general at London, Editor Jpo.
G. New; minister to Denmark, EditorJ.
A. Evander. From these indications
Of the temper Of the new president, I
is presumable that during his admir-
istration the newspaper editor will lie
no fgure-head in the government
This disposition to bring the new'-
paper man into prominence will, #
course, be attributed by shallow MINIS
to political chicanery, but the truth
Of the matter is that the newspaper
profession is in possession Of some #
the best all round brains to be fouid
in the country, and it is our opinion
that President Harrison, if not he
original discoverer Of this fact, is he
first to apply it to practical purposes.
The school of journalism beats all
schools for killing of incompetenp on
the one hand and building up genius
on the other. The newspaper man who
can steer his craft through quicksand' /
and cataracts Of fierce competitions, cad
make his ideas and policies stspT the
fiery ordeal Of public criticism, daily
and yearly, can manage any govern
mental mission With eolat. The editor
nowadays is not a theorist. He
is changing subjects in every day mat
sers, apd every day brings its exigen-
,ies when judgment, decision and
tsct are called into active exercise, and
n which he must unite cosmopolitan
with the skill Of an expert.
To be a successful editor he must have
he shrewdness Of lawyer,the suaviter
n modo Of preacher, the fortiter in
9 Of q politician, the witness Of his
steemed majesty, Satanus Rex and
moral honesty above suspicion. A feWI
ears work in school where such a
ombination Of qualities is required
makes of .. genius an all around man,
specially useful in governmental af-
airs. The president seems to have
pprehended that the profession has
rains which can be most pro6tably ap-
lied in his new administration and

MEXICAN LEAD ORES.

Have the democratic custom officers
along the border entered into an
agreement to make rulings, under
the general instructions sent them
by Secretary Window, that shall
exclude Mexican low grade ores and
thus bring odium upon the treasury
department and array Mexico and
Texas aginst the administration at
Washington? 1t looks very much as
through this was the case and the
matter is of sufficient Importance to
be enquired into. Secretary Win
dom's instructions have not and could
not have changed the law, as es-
tablished by the report of the L. S.
senate's judiciary committee in July
of last year.
Secretary WINDOWS instructions
have been positive as to the refusal to
admit concentrat from different
mines. This certainly can not be OBJ
jected to as a new departure as it is
positively within the meaning of the
Interpretation put upon lead importa-
ton under the rulings of Secretary
Sherman. The clause of all others
most harshly criticized in the instruo-
tions sent out by Secretary Window
is that relating to the valuation of
the lead ore, and concerning this the
secretary says:
"It is advised that in determining
the relative value of silver and lead
contained in the same ore, the value
of the silver component, in the alb
sence of more accurate data in the
invoice or otherwise, be rated at 95
per cent of the latest known value of
silver bullion in the New York mar
ket, that the value Of the lead COM
ponent at the latest known price of
bar lead in the same market, less
cent per pound"
Now the very first clause of the Sec
retary's instructions covers this
ground, by making it the duty of the
importer of the ore to make sworn
statement of the values of the silver
and of the lead according to his best
belief and knowledge. In the alb
sence of such statement it is the duty
of the customs collector to make his
own estimate and if he can gain no
more accurate knowledge the secre-
tary advises to rate the lead at New
York prices less a cent per pound. 1t
is made the duty of the collector by
law to ascertain by all reasonable
ways in his power the true and actual
market value and wholesale price of
the merchandise at the time of its inn
portation and in tie principal mar
kets of the country whence the same
has been imported into the United
States
Secretary Window has done no
more than his duty. The fault lies
with the collectors, if lead ores have
been unduly appraised. 1t is plainly
the value in Mexico of the lead and
silver ores imported therefrOm that is
to rule and it is made the collectors
duty to ascertain this value. The COL
lectors in some instances have abso-
lutely refused to do this, and accept
the suggestion of the secretary in
case of absence of all data,
as fixed ruling governing lead ra-
tings. This is not just to the importer,
it does not fairly represent the treas
ury Department. it brings odium upon
the administration at Washington and
looks very much as though it was
done with malice prepens.
