the hour was passed; and. considering that

the wisest resolution in his power.

THE SECOND OF THE THREE SPIRITS
Awaking In the middle of a prodigiously
tough snore. and sitting up In bed to gel
his thoughts together. Scrooge had no occa.
sion to be told that the bell was again I'd.
on the stroke of 1. He began to wonder
which Of his curtains this new specter
would draw back. He put them every one
aside with his own hands, and lying down
again established a sharp lookout all round
the bed. For he wished TO challenge the
Spirit on the moment Of its appearance
and did not wish to be taken by surprise
and made nervous.
When the bell struck 1 and no shape ap-
peared he was taken with a violent mt OF
trembling. Five minutes. ten minutes. q

came. All this time he lay upon his bed

THE FIRST OF THE THREE SPIRITS.
When Scrooge awoke 1t was so dark. that,
looking out of bed, he could scarcely dis
tinguish the transparent window from the
opaque walls of his chamber. He was en-
deavoring to pierce the darkness with his
ferret eyes, when the chimes of a neigh
boring church struck the four quarters. So
he listened for the hour.
To his great establishment the heavy bell
went on from six to seven and from seven
to eight, and regularly up to twelve; then
stopped. Twelve! 1t was past two when
he went to bed. The clock was wrong.
He touched the spring of his repeater.
to correct this most preposterous clock Its
rapid little pulse beat twelve and stopped
"Why, it isn't possible" said Scrooge.

The idea being an alarming one he
scrambled out of bed. and CROPPED his way
to the window. He was obliged to rub the
frost off with the sleeve of his dressing
gown before he could see anything; and
could see very little then. All he could make
out was that It was still very foggy and
extremely cold. and that there was no noise

There were more dances and there were
more forfeits and more dances. and there

cold roast. and there was a great piece of

evening came after the roast and boiled
when the fiddler struck up "Sir Roger de

NO MUTINOUS MAN MAJOR
Col. Abernethy Says q Jersey City
Man Will Be Elected at
the Proper Time.

The Board of Officers OF the Fourth
Regiment held regular monthly meet
ing last evening at Headquarters in the
City Armory, and transacted only the
usual routine of business. The proposed
formation OF new battalion in the regi-
ment was not mentioned. as that Is not
matter for the consideration or action Of
the board. that resting entirely upon the
Colonel in his execution of the law. The
calling of an election of Major of such
battalion is also exclusively in his hands.
Colonel Abernerhy, when questioned,
last evening, by JERSEY CITY NEWS re-
porter in relation to the matter. stated
that he could not order aE election for a
major until the newly elected officers Of
the new companies received their COM
missions, which are expected within
few days, these officers being entitled to
vote for major, bnt not until duly COM
missioned. AS soon as these commits
sions are received, the Colonel said, he
will issue an order for the bolding of the
election. and EXPECTS that major will
be elected and the new battalion formed
within two weeks.
The Colonel characterizes as supremely
absurd the rumor that It is his Intention
or chat of any other officer of the regi-
ment TO secure the election OF u HoDoken
man AS major, atd says that th6re are no
militiamen In Heboken belonging to the
National Guard, aud the idea of going
outside the regiment la which there are
SO many officers com Retent to I'LL the
position to pick up q civilian for mill
tary office is simply preposterous, and
that the Major will be a Jersey City
man.
AT the praper time some one of
the presout regimeptal officers will
be chosen for this position. No dissen-
sion whatever exists among the officers
and in the election OF major they Will
be harmonious as in all other matters
affecting the regiment.
