plainly, as I always did. l asked him to stop it and walk one or two hours in the Block woods after 9 in the even ing. He tried it with good results, and after that called me doctor.
 After he had practiced this walking for couple of weeks. he told me he had seen a ghost in the woods three successive nights. I laughed at him and asked him if he had been drinking whisky again, but he assured me he had not. The next night watched myself in the grove. Sure enough, saw a figure in white, though l did not be- lieve it was spirit from the other world. I saw that the figure tried to approach the general, but from fear. or some other motive, he kept his distance from it.
 I had revolver, and with this in my hand, though it was not loaded, l went with the general to the woods one bright moonlight night. The ghost came as usual, and the general was in- chned 10 retreat. So was the figure when I showed myself. But pursued it. held up my revolver and threat ened to fire if the ghost did not halt
 ''No. Pardy! Don't firei am your mother, " screamed the ghost, not know ing that the weapon was not loaded.
 She halted; and went up to her, the general following me when assured that the figure was not supernatural one. She was dressed in white, as she was usually in summer, and 1 wondered if she was troubled with insomnia.
 "Pardy, General Fawncliffe is your father and my husbandp' exclaimed my mc+ser when the general had come up witt us.
 Emily" he exclaimed, II wonder ed where Pardy got all his impudence, for thought he could have inherited it only from me.
 We had long talk in the moonlight. knew that my mother had come from California, but her former home was one of the things of which she seldom spoke. The general acknowledged her as his wife before me. They disagreed and had separated. For the sake of her son she had followed him, hoping that years had softened his temper. She did not care to call upon hlm at his house, but when became on such excellent terms with him she had decided to meet him in the woods, where 1 had told her that he walked every night. He had fled from her, but she persevered till brought matters to a head. My mother is now. the mistress of Block Hall, and I still have to do great deal of plain speaking Oliver Optic in Philadelphia Press.

The Sampaio accomplished this result with three White head torpedoes.
 President Peixoto's fleet made concert ed attack upon Desterro, and the insurgent forces there at first offered a stout resist ance with their land batteries and the guns of the Aquidaban, but after tho Satnpaio had sent the Aquidaban to the bottom they gave up the fight and surrendered to the government forces.
 Should Argentina grant Admiral de Mel los request for protection to the squadron he has taken into Bueiios Ayres harbor, this would be regarded with disfavor by Brazil, as the naval Insurgents have been formally declared to be pirates.

The dock ct of the court of appeals is so crowded that it is quite probable the appeal cannot be heard there before next Septenlb Der, when the court meets for its fall term.

The working of the Australian
ballot system as a general thing
meets with strenuous opposition
in this locality. If the law were
amended, however, so as to simp,
lify matters somewhat, it would be
a good thing. Each party ticket
should be printed separately on
the ballot and when voter de-
sired to vote a ticket straight he
could indicate his intention of so
doing by some simple mark. He
should also be permitted to indi-
cate by some appropriate check
mark, in case he does not wish to
vote a straight ticket, the names
of the candidates voted for. Such
an amendment would simplify
matters materially and prevent
the loss of votes through the mad
vertence of the voter in not
striking off all but the required
number of names.
