SAW A GHOST.

New Haven. Comm Spe. New York
world: 10 those who are inclined to scott
at the residents near Mapledale Cemetery
because they are excited over a ghost
that dances nightly over the new-maae
graves the point is made that the believ-
efs have seen the wrath while the unbe-
levers have not.
For three dark nights many persons
have gathered at the cemetery gates, and
the ghost, being a Well-bred and conSid-
crate specter, has not disappointed them.
1t has walked regularly and danced with
it's usual grace.
Amy one who does not believe in ghosts
should talk to John Bertram and George
e. Blackmailer. They laughed at the sug-
gestion of disembowled spirits promenade
ing IN a. cemetery or anywhere else, and
the suggestion that a ghost would dance
they declared was manifestly absurd,
Last night the young men announced
that they would clear up the ghost mys-
terry and placed themselves on guard in
the cemetery, thereby winning many
compliments for their pluck until the
ghost appeared Then the two brave
young men took to their heels and never
stopped running until they were ex-
hausted.
They sale that nothing would persuade
them to enter the ceetery again at night
SO long as the weird manifestations con-
tinued. Several s~piritualists were among
those on guard last night. They also saw
the ghost. They explained it by saying
that it was a spirit seeking some one it
had wrOnged In life.
1t has not been determined whether it is
a man ghos or a woman ghost, but it Is
properly attired, according to all tradi-
tons in a long flowing robe of white 1t
violates one of the rules for ghosts. how
ever, in that it max it's appearance be-
fore midnight. 1t was about II O'Clock
last night when it suddenly appeared out
of nowhere, and after floating about for
half an hour melted into thin air in the
most approved fashion.

SHORTHAND

Washington Spec. Chicago Tribune. AL
though typewriters for shorthand have
been patented, the drawback has been
that they wrote upon narrow paper, like a
printing telegraph. A stenotyper, in-
vented in Germany, employs a roll Of pas
per equal in width to an ordinary shorts
hand notebook. The operator has six keys
to tap upon, as against 80 or more of an
ordinary typewriter. To read stereotype
the eye must become acquainted to a new
style of type, based somewhat Upon the
Morse alphabet in ~telegraphy, as it con-
slsts of a combination of dots and dashes.
The marks of the six keys, which can b
tapped simultaneously, can be combined
in 63 different ways, producing an alpha
bet of IS letters.

clous IN It's movements, having no fixity
or purpose. Sometimes it moves slowly.
and then it darts along. Occasionally il
stops. AT times it hops from mound to
mound, and when it ind a new-made
grave executes a curious, slow and dig
nilied dance.

THE ROBERTS CASE.
1t liz Expected Tint the Committee
Will Make n Report Which VIII
Bar Him from McMbcrship.

Washington, Jan. 3.-The report Of
the committee OF the house of repre-
sentati,cs. which is Investigating the
case OF Mr.. Roberts, of Utah, will pc
made soon after congress rcnssemblcs,
and there is reason to believe the ma
jority report Will recommend that
Roberts be excluded from the house,
and that he be not permitted under
his credentials to exercise any prima
fncicright of being sworn in. Whether
the report will be unanimous is
open to doubt, as three of the mem
bers of the committee are not counted
on as positively favorable to the course
indicated, and this may result in the
submission of a minority report. The
minority view, if submitted, probably
will deal with the prima facc right to
be sworn in on credentials which are
regular and will recommend that Rob-
erts be sworn in, and thereafter ex-
PEELED. The committee will resume it's
hearings on Thursday at IL O'CLOCK.
The testimony is closed, however,
Chairman Tayler CO., having learned
that the remaining witnesses in Utah
will not come on. 1T is expected,
therefore, that Thursday will be given
to Mr.. Roberts for his argument.

WHERE LIES THE HEART.

In the living-room of a house On the
north side Of the Tennessee river, OPP
posite Chattanooga, sat the silent SOL
der. Before him stood Gen. Heath, at
at window sat Margaret and Georgia
Beach, while leaned against the wall.
But had no idea of stretching my
self or even seating myself in the pres
ence of discriminating general, though
1t was his exalted position rather than
his commanding appearance that de-
tered me. He was sitting sidewise, one
arm over the back of the chair, his
hands clasped negligently, his legs
crossed, boots Undiscovered, the pri-
Yates overcoat he wore thrown open,
showing bit of wooden shirt under his
chin. In his mouth was the ever pres
ent cigar. He had come at Gen. Heath's
request to hear the evidence in the dis
puted question as to where Gen. Long,
street had gone, and to decide what
should be done with Margaret Beach.
At a signal from the general-in-chief
that he was ready to listen, Margaret
and Georgia came forward, and Gen.
Heath spoke:
ION the til of October you directed
me to head an expedition with view
to determining the truth or falsity of
a report that Gen. Longstreet's corps
was to be detached from Bragg's army
and sent to crush Burnside. I followed
your suggestion to cut my way through
to the railroad, but was seldom per.
mitted to get near it, and never at a
time when the troops were passing. At
last I determined, as suggested by you
when received my orders, to send a
small detachment with view to con-
cealment near the road to watch the
passage Of trains. Lieut.. Hall COM
