The order of the Iron Hall, secret So
ciety of New Hampshire, announces that
it will actively enter politics, this year,
in order to elect legislature favorable
to endowment orders. The principle i'm
piled in this announcement presents a
tough and grizzly subject for discussion.
1t has always been a Wanted tenet of
secret societies that they do not dabble
in politics as body, nor does their cath
of membership ask the least change in
political sentiment But like great
many of other Wanted pretenses, in this
world, the exemption clause is not III the
strictest enforcement. The Alliance goes
into politics.; the Grand Army of the Re-
public recognizes party dear to its
eyes; the travelling men have just dealt
Mr.. Otis a resounding whack between
the eyes, and it is not an infrequent
charge that in Masonic lodges brother
members are appealed to for political

GETTING RID OF A GHOST.

The Owner Pulling Down Block of
Haunted Houses in Network.
That superstition still has strong
hold on the average mind is frequent
ly illustrated in the history OF houses
made notorious by deeds OF fatal
violence. Even in the crowded city,
according to the New York Press,
people often think they see and hear
ghosts in the place where some one
has met an untimely death under
mysterious circumstances. A block OF
houses on Twentieth street, in this
city is being torn down, and a business
structure is to be erected, in part, it
is said, because a man leaped to his
death from one Of the houses few
years ago. There has been ever since
great difficulty in letting the house in
question, and one tenant complained
that she was annoyed by groans and
rapp!ngs and sc,rrying ofinyisiblef feet.
It was in vain that natural causes
were shown for the alleged disturb
ances. The tenant did not stay
Adjoining property was affected by
the reputation OF the house, which
had once sheltered some the proud
est families in New York, and the
owners decided to tear it down and
put Il business building where the
dwellings have stood. Ghosts do not
take kindly to business They have
never interfered with the sale Of dry
goods or Of boots and shoes. Perhaps
it is because there is little room for
imaginationin buying and selling these
prosaic articles.
