Washington Letter in Chicago Record.
Mr.. Souza Rosa, the Portuguese minis
ter, who is about leaving for a new post
at Paris, to which he has been recently
promoted, advertises his effects at
auction, and as he is one of the most
popular members of the diplomatic corps.
we shall see his furniture and books and
bric-a- brac and old boots sold to the
society people In this city for about twice
what they are worth. 1t is curious
thing that the mem bers of the diplomatic
corps are always Courted in society," re-
gardless OF their character or intelligence
An attache Of one of the legations may
be gibbering idiot, but it will not make
the slightest difference with his social
position, and sensible women and lovely
girls will covet his attentions with a zeal
that would be considered immodest and
reprehensible If it were directed toward
any other man. This remark. however
does not apply to MIR. Souza Rosa,
who is gentleman of high character
charming manners. and more than or
binary ability, and has been an idol of
the smart set of Washington for several
years. BY the stumbling of his horse
q few months ago, he was thrown off the
seat of his high dog-cart and broke his
snOulder-blade, which caused a
demonstration of interest and affec-

Hon. r. w. Deloach was in town to-
day, and says tho report published yes

against him. He will be tried on the
charge in Emanuel county tomorrow, and
expects to come clear. Judge H. d. ID.
Twiggs has been employed TO prosecute
him. MIR. Deloach says that the unpleas-

fact that he had given Prince a chat
about not working his crop.

EDUCATING A GHOST.
Rappings and Violent Conduct of the
Uncanny Visitor.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

-N--'
A party of developed mediums from
Allegheny and Pittsburg met last night
in the haunted house on the old Brighton
road, near High bridge, Bellevue, to as
certain the nature and identity of the
spirit that stalks there at nights. By
$50 the mediums had gathered, though
the night was anything but agreeable for
such an uncanny investigation.
The rain, hail, thunder and dark clouds
of the day made the conditions very
favorable to bring the spirit out so that
i the ladies and gentlemen of the circle
were not disappointed in the supernatu-
raj manifestation. One who was
present describes the feeling as akin to
the dark, melancholy and weirdness
borne in the brain of Poe and thrown
about the House of Usher.
For many nights at different times
during the past mysterious rapping and
strange sounds have been heard in the
building, so that it was difficult to rent
the house. 1t was taken possession of by
trance medium" well known to the
prominent spiritualists of the city. There
were spirit rappings without mediums
The circle being formed, the light was
extinguished, pleasant song was sung
to produce harmony, and the seance com
menced. Suddenly the clairvoyants,
who see spirits, saw the spirit of an old
lady come into the circle, grasp one of
the women and throw her TO the floor
This was repeated on another lady, and
then the spirit tried to make its escape
A prominent lady calirvoyant of Ale
gheny followed the wraithiby the glow pc
culiar TO the earth-bound spirit, down
into the cellar, but lost it. She was sud
denly startled in the darkness by the
sound of footsteps back of her on the
steps, but saw nothing.
None of the party had followed her
! She then felt tap on the shoulder and a
breath of wind, as if the spirit was hur-
rying past. She rushed up the stairs, but
| found the circle in conversation with
other spirits who had come there as "con-
trolls" for the medium.
Nothing definite was learned concern
/ ing the name of the ghost haunting the
place other than it is an old woman who
is yet bound to the earth and cannot get
away. 1t is said she lived there some
time ago, and keeps around her old haunts
as place she loves. 1t is said to be the
! purpose of the Allegheny mediums TO ed
ucate the spirit that she may be enabled
to leave her conditions Earth bound
! spirits are, as the name implies, bound
/ here.
The rappinRs kept up during the trance
state Of some of the other mediums, but
| ceased when the light was turned up. A
! circle will meet at the old house at stated
| times to enable the spirit to get out of
| her trouble. After that time prominent
! splritualists say the house will not be
/ haunted, This is a new and unprece-
| dented move in the annalso spiritualism
to educate disembodied spirit TO better
its condition, and cease frightening the
ones unfamiliar with spirit methods

PARTICULAR ABOUT SEED.
A Dakotan Wrises a Peculiar Letter
to His Congressman.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
Rather funny letter was read to the
House yesterday by Representative Pick
Ter, of South Dakota, while the agricul-
tural bill was under consideration. Mr..
Picker has a constituent named James
Wells, living at Britton, S. d.. and MIR.
Wells, or rather MIR. Wells wife, wants
some garden seeds. So he made his APP
peal in the following words:
II would like some Today corn. and
If the new administration has any new
silver seed that will produce standard
silver dollars, or even Mexican dollars,
in about sixty days, would like some of
that Our land is well adapted TO the
raising of silver. We would like some.
thing that would yield 1000 bushels to
the acre and sell for dollar bushel. We
have not farmed much, but are looking
for anything new or profitable
some of our friends say German earn
is good crop. We will put in few acres
of carp for starter if we can get the
seed. Some OF our kind friends recon-
mend ostriches, but they grow so few in
hill that we will not venture to try
them.
There is small lake near our farm.
and my wife is anxious to raise some ron
dolas. They are an Italian bird, believe
The climate here is severe, but she thinks
she could raise them by keeping them
near hard coal burner in the winter sea-
son. If MIR Morton could be prevailed
upon TO send us pair of young ones we
would esteem it great favor We could
use some canvas back duck seed to good
advantage.
I'VE want to try some hard coal seed
this year, as we have paid Sl0 a ton
for coal about as long as we care to. One
of my sons has desire to raise q pair of
elephants TO break our land with, Do
you think Mr.. Morton would be willing
to send US a couple Of elephant eggs TO try
the experiment. Some Of our advanced
thinkers advise me TO raise a crop Of plug
tobacco In selecting seed | wish
you would send the Spear Head, Climax
or Star. The climate is too dry for fine
cut. If the department has anything new
in jack rabbits l would like a few vines
that would bear the second Year.n
