interrupted the old lady, ending with q
genuine sigh.
"There were not many of us living
'hereabout them DAYS." continued the
subdued narrator, "and there was not
much visiting between neighbors.
Well, one day it was ascertained that
our good old neighbor, Bosnia, and bis
daughter were missing. We at once
suspected foul play, and this became
almost certain when we found that
blood had flowed over the floor and had
been partially washed of. Then.
again, no money or valuables were
found. A son of the missing man
came up from New Orleans, offered q
large reward and made diligent and
extended search, yet nothing was found.
Finally he sold everything and re-
turned TO the city, detected and discon-
ISOLATE.
"Time passed on and the circum-
stance was measurably forgotten, UNI
til last year, when parts of two hui
man skeletons were found in deep
rayine about seven hundred yards
from the old house where you spent
the night. Nothing was found by
which the remains could be identi-
fed; yet to my mind the finding of
the bones revealed the last resting
place of our old ncighbor and his
pretty daughter"
'Is the place haunted" ! ventured
to ask.
Again the old gentleman looked at
his wife and then hesitatingly an
swered:
"Well, they do say it is. But the
fact is none of us ever go about it.

His Other Eve.

The child was playing with the scis-
sors and his kindly old grandmother
ehided him. "You mustn't play with
the scissors, dear. | knew little boy
just like you who was playing with a
pair of scissors just like that pair, and
he put them in his eye, and he put his
eve out and he never could see any
thing ever after" The child listened
patiently and said when she got
through: what was the matter with
his other cyc?"

An Underground River.

A report comes from France of the
discovery of remarkable subterranean
river in the department of Lot. Two
explorers found the river at the bottom
of gouffre or abyss known as the pit
of Paderac. Procuring folding boat
made of sail-cloth, they worked their
way down stream for a couple of miles
through a succession of wonderful
grottoes sparkling with staEactites.
They found seven lakes on their way,
and had to shoot thirty-seYen cascades
or rapids.

GHOST OF GOvIND BRANHlM.
Saheb Den Dhobcy's Fatal Experien
with the Spector.

Win tuc SpcctoTs
Saheb Den Dhobey was a prison
official Of proved courage and magnifi-
cent physique, who was brought from
Jessore to Alipore to take the place of
head warder. 1t was his duty TO visit
the patrols between the surrounding
walls every night between the hours
of ~ and 2. On one occasion, after
he had been o few days in Jail, he set
out on his rounds as usual, but some
time after a. IN. it was found that he
had not returned. Time wore on,
and at last mere wondering why he
was so late gave place to anxiety. and
a search party was organized. They
carried torches, and at last came upon
the insensible form of Saheb Den
Dhobey. He was lying PROSTATE on
the ground close to the hospital gate,
which is situated about $50 yards dis
tant from the gallows. The unfortu-
nate man was carried to the officials
quarters, and there, after a time, by
the application of water and other re-
storatiyes, he was brought around.
The following was the tale he told:
He had been going his rounds, and
had stopped down to adjust one of his
shoes, when he felt some one spring
upon him from behind and commence
belaboring him between the shoulders.
The conclusion forced him on his
hands and knees, and he first thought
that it was prisoner trying to escape.
Not very much alarmed, for he had
confidence in his great physical Prov
ess, he tried to grasp his assailant by
putting one arm behind his back; but
he could feel nothing, yet the blows
continued TO rain down upon him, and
he felt himself pressed down TO the
earth by a great weight. At last a
voice addressed him. "You dare
come here, do you, to defile by your
presence the territories of Govind
Branhim?" And with that the man
felt himself lifted bodily up, and then
dashed face forward on to the ground.
He remembered no more till he awoke
to consciousness in the guard room.
When he had finished this strange
story. the aged head warder, who was
about to retire, came up and put the
question, "What is this that is being
said about Govind Branhim?" This
led to explanations, and the old warder
told how noted budmash of that
name who had committed several cold
blooded murders, had been hanged in
Alipore Jail twenty-six years before.
'sBut, pointed out one of the auditors,
"Saheb Den Dhobey was attacked a
good distance from the gallows. We
found him close to the hospital gate"
"Ahl" replied the old man, impress
lively, s.the scafFold in those DAYS stood
on the very spot where you found the
PROSTATE body of Saheb Den Dhobey."
The latter listened with blanched
face, then he threw himself back on
the couch on which he lay. ssMy
hour has come" he said. ait must
have been the spirit of Govind Bran
him that attacked and beat me. MY
heart is broken. 1t is certain | must
die" And die he did in two days
of India.

A BOunteous Land.

A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Record, writing from Punta Arenas,
Costa RIGA, says Truly Mother Earth's
excessive liberalitv in this little corner
of creation is astonishing! In her
wooded solitudes the hunter or traveller
may find banquet ready spread TO
appease hunger and assuage his thirst
To be sure, this vegetable bread, being
rather tough for any teeth bat those of
monkeys, is vastly better by boiling,
but on the { "butts" (from the fruit
called aquacale) there can be no i'm
provement. The "milk tree" on being
punctured sends forth a cooling lac
tael fluid similar to cows milk but
with the advantage that it may be
kept for months without becoming
rancid. The coyal or swine tree" is
more rare, but repays long search
1t enlits liquid resembling our best
muscatel, without its intoxicating
properties. In some portions OF this
marvellous country another tree
abounds, from the leaves of which the
natives extract a substance for frying
aud lubricating purposes, which an
expert could hardly distinguish from
the best beef tallow. The berries OF
another bush make excellent soap,
having merely to be moistened and
rubbed to become even more sapon-
aciOus than "amole," the root in gem
eral use for soap throughout Mexico
and Lower California. Then there are
castor beans growing wild everywhere,
which are rs useful for Illuminating
purposes as for fuel and medicine. A
few Of these beans stuck on a stick and
lighted are better than dozen tallow
candles.

EDUCATroNAL QUALIFICATION.

800 - 80 = ANASSAA ~ Nm ANSNs
South Carolina having set out to
solve the suffrage problem in the
way in which it should be solved
everywhere in this country, howl
is raised that the negroes are to be
DISTINGUISHED in that State. A
joint resolution has been introduced
in the Legislature providing for the
submission to the people Of an
amendment to the constitution
making the citizens ability to read
that instruments, as also the Con-
stitution Of the United States, and
to write his name condition Of his
voting at any election, municipal,
State or national. The resolution
will be adopted by the Legislature,
and it is believed that it will be &C.
cepted by the people. The cry is
that it will discriminate against the
blacks, and keep many Of them
away from the polls. If this is
true, the disgrace is on the negroes
and not on the people who will
adopt the amendment. As broad
proposition the man in America
who cannot read and write ought
not to be entrusted with the ballot.
He is an ignorant person, and con-
sequently a dangerous one. He
does not understand the theory of
the government and without direc.
ton is incapable of using his vote
intlligently. This applies to whites
and blacks, to foreigners and to
men Of native birth. HTwenty years
ago.a law5requiringEan.. educational
test Of this kind might not have
been entirelysfair to the.negroes, as
they had not had the opportunity
to learn; but duringssthe pass. fifteen
years schools have been open to
them everywhere in the United
States, and in most States, South
Carolina being 7among- the number,
they have been free. If the negroes
have not learned to read and write
it is because of their stubbornness
or incapacity,::;and in either event
the ballot should not be given tc
them ,:sany more than it should be
given to the ignorant whites who
have Stunned the schoolhouse. A
good deal has been done for the ne
groes, and it is high timertheyRbe
gan to do somethingsfor..the
and the best place.for them t.. make
q STARTS with theSalphabct.
It would be better for the coun
try everywhere if AN educational
qualiiicationa.were required as g
condition Of the right to vote. Ig.
norance at the polls is almost as
bad as corruption, both being de-
structive Of good government. We
always feel like applauding7a judge
who refuses to naturalize'a man
who has not read the Constitution
and there'is less excuse for an
Americans neglect in this matter
than for foreigners.
It is to be hoped that South Car
DINA will 60 ahead with the propo-
sition, and if it results in the dis

PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

Every once in a while somebody
gets up scare about our public
school system. It is an intermit-
tent disease, which disappears for a
while and the patient thinks he has
recovered. Then of a sudden he be-
gins to shake again and has another
siege of it.
The bottom facts are these: We
are told, says the New York Herald,
that public morality is in deca-
dence; that infdelity Of one sort
and another is on the rampage;
that crimes are more numerous than
ever before; that the marriage tie is
more lightly regarded; that the gen.
eral conscience is less sensitive to
evils which affect the welfare OF
society, and that therefore the
school tax should be divided be-
tween Catholics and Professionals,
that each may take care of it's own
constituency.
This we believe to be a mistake
There are certain forms Of evil
which are more prevalent now than
in times past, and certain other
forms which appear less frequently
But if you strike a fair average the
world is better, higher toned, more
generous, charitable and kindly
There is a heavier bulk of virtue ir
it than ever. If it were not 30 il
would be pretty miserable world
to live in, and the sooner We emil
grated to some other planet the bet
ter.
We are also told that our child
rem ought to be moro carefully
taught, that their religious educa
ton is neglected and that many
wasted lives are the consequence.
This is easily granted. No ont
will be likely to deny it. Blu
where shall the child get his mora
education unless in the home ano
in the church, What are homes
and churches for7
The public school system is Q
purely State affair, a secular insti
tuition. It can never be anything
else. Its sole business is to give
the rudiments Of education, thai
the boy may have a brain as vel
as pair Of hands for the struggle
Of the future. If the church and
the home supplement- that training
by the infusion Of religious doctrine
or moral ideas, why then you have
a boy well equipped for citizenship
If either the church or the home
fails in that duty, so much the
worse for the boy and SO much
worse for the State.
But it is not the duty of the State
to make Episcopalians or Catholics
or Methodists. If it were to 60 in
to that business we should have a
pretty rough time of it and nobody
could tell where it would end.
The State must keep out of the
Church and the Church must keep
out of the State. That idea lies al
the foundation of things in this
country, and it can never be chang
ed until our institutions are destroy.
