Some time since an article from the
News, in reference to the good Offices
performed by Mrs. J. B. Hathaway in as
sisting fallen young woman, was quoted
by the Wa-Keeney World, and from
that paper given space in tho Troy CHEF,
the veteran editor of which paper supple
ments it as follows:
This lady is a Doniphan county woman,
formerly Miss Julia Beeler, of Highland,
and is frequent contributor OF poems to
the columns of the Chief that are above
ordinary merit If there were more
women like her, there would be fewer

ways seemed to Us that majority OF

casting out one of their sex who happens
to depart from the straight path, or who
or who is even suspected OF it.

Special to the Kansas City Globe.

Special to the Kansas City Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Sam P. Carusi
was an examiner in the field for the pen
sion Office during the last administration,
and was located in western Kansas. He
is large man of striking presence, and
apparently a gentleman of ability and
energy. By reason of limited appropria-
tons he was dropped from the rolls on
June 80, the close of the fiscal year. He
was quite popular in Kansas, and his
friends there asked for his reinstatement,
and it came very near being accomplish
ed. It happened, however, that rumors
arose affecting the military record of Ca
rusi. It was alleged that instead Of hav-
ing been in the service of the United
States during the late unpleasantness be-
tween the sections, Mr.. Carusi had been
Confederate soldier. He Indignantly
and vigorously denied this allegation;
and on July %, swore before a notary
that he had never been in the Confede-
rate service in any capacity. That set
tied it, and Commissioner Tanner was
about to order his reinstatement, when
an official suggested the advisability of
calling on the adjutant general for infor-
nation in the case, so as to forever settle
the aspersions upon the character of the
said Carusi. The record was called for,
and presto, the whole scene was changed.
It appears by the official records that
Sam P. Carusi was as patriotic friend
of the Confederaey as ever shouldered q
musket for the lost cause. He enlisted
in April, 1861, as private in the First
Virginia infantry, and again in the
Twenty-frst. He got into some sort of
trouble, was confined in prison at Rich
mond, and wrote several pathetic letters
to the commandant of the post, setting
forth his merits, his thorough Confede-
rate sentiments, and begging recognition
and liberty. The commanding officer in
dorsed his letters appropriately, and he
was given the freedom of Richmond.
His record as Confederate and troub-
lesome man is set forth in the official rec
ords, and his affidavit of loyalty shown to
be a perjury. He will not be reinstated
in the pension Office. He might better
have confessed his rebellion and claimed
reconstruction. s. d. F.

uduUtSu HOUSE dltcf DARK
This night was dark from twilight.
Ten rods off the house could not be
seen at all.
1t was at this prudent limit that the
loafing company of old sailors were
assembled near eleven O'Clock of that
night. The fascination of the super
natural, too powerful to be resisted by
men of their peculiar education and
experience, had drawn them away
from their customary haunts. The
stories and the excitements of the day
would not permit them to rest peace
fully in their beds, and they had come
up here to breathe the atmosphere of
mystery and terror. 1t will be useful
to the reader to overhear their talk.

The darkness of the place threatened
to extinguish the light; the light did
not illuminate the darkness.
The means burst forth again; audi
BILE words were pronounced; the ear of
the Mortified listener plainly heard
them. He shook with fright, but he
stayed.
30, God! have mercy! o, save me
from a miserable death! Help! help!
o, Christ! have mercyr'
The stifled cry could only be heard
by one near to the house; the words
could only have been audible to one
crouching close to the window-place,
as Burt was, to hear them. The words
ended in strangely muffled and sub
dued shrek, full of agony and terror,
but still faint and low.
Means, stified breathings, dreadful
utterances of pain and rage, came
family up from the dismal recesses of
the old cellar
The sailor staggered to his feet and
rushed from the spot, holding his hands
to his ears.
The story when told to his comrades
in the tavern was ut first received with
appalled, silence. Then old Mullins
uttered an opinion from which none
dissented.
'It's Captain Lobdell and his crew
numbering their victims over and over
again. But it beats me to know why

from any of the Inhabited parts. Moth,
ing but a burned rim remained above
the water; brief search discovered
some undistinguishable human remains
ne ar what had been the cabin. Those
who were familiar with marine regis
tiers, and the comings and goings of
merchant-vessels, had no doubt that
this was all that remained of Captain
Willis vessel, nor that he, and perhaps
his crew, had persisted by some un-
known calamity of the ocean. That
the destruction had been by fire was all
that was certain.
For this intelligence Mrs Willis and
her daughter were of course prepared.
They mourned for the lost husband and
father; but they had for weeks been
mourning in silence, anticipating such
a somber certainty as this.
In the presence of this grief, neither
of them had bestowed any further
thought upon Louis Hunter, his recent
mission from Captain Willis, or his
startling announcement of what he
had seen on that dreadful night in the
old house at PrOvincetown. They had
