has been here in plain sight all the
evening. Take him away!
"But there's nobody here, SIR"
And there wasn't. The sentinel call
ed in two officers who looked and
searched In vain and assured Colonel
Kemble that no boy was present He
tried to turn 1t off with laugh, but in
less than "a hours every man in camp
knew that the colonel was haunted by
specter. He made brave effort to
bluff 1t out, but it was useless. The
specter followed at his heels by day
and sat by his bedside at night, and
In week the strong, aggressive man
was becoming n mental wreck He
turned to us for pity and sympathy,
but we Ind little to give. He had been
brutal in his vengeance.
The surgeon looked upon the case
at first as some disorder OF the brain,
but later on acknowledged that 1t was
something beyond his medicine. No
one else could see the spccter. The
colonel would say that 1t sat beside
him or stood in the door, but there was
nothing for other eyes to rest upon.
He would draw his sword and cut and
slash and thrust at the spectcr, but he
could not harm 1t. BY the surgeons
advice the colonel returned to Goruck-
poor. 1t was reported as case Of
breaking down over mental anxiety,
but hundreds of people came to know
better. The spectcr followed him back,
followed him to the house of a friend,
sat with him through every night and
doggcd at his heels through every hour
Of the day. He could no more shake
1t off than he could change the color
of his eyes. He made the gamest sort
of light, knowing that his future career
was at stake. and ut length all men
came to pity him--pity him and avoid
him as one accursed. He was medically
treated. given brief furloughs and
every effort made to build him up, but
at the end Of eight months, every day
and every night of which had been a
terror to him, he ended by blowing
out his brains
Was 1t case of a man haunted by
spirit seeking revenge? 1t was not
so reported officially, but from first to
last and from the highest to the lowest,
and this includes two surgeons, it was
fully and firmly believed that it was,
and the uncanny affair had great
influence over other officers in their
future treatment of the natives.

Patterson Jury Fails to Agree.

New York, May 5.--Having failed
to reach verdict and declaring that
they were hopelessly disagreed,
the jury in the Nan Patterson case
was formally discharged at 2.2O
O'Clock this morning.
The jury was given the case at 1 80
o'clock yesterday and, after deliber-
ating twelve hours, came into court
at 1.3O o'clock this morning and in
formed Recorder Golf that they had
failed to reach verdict. The Jury
declined the recorders offer to aid
them by advice on any point of law
regarding which they might be in
doubt, and were sent back to con-
tinue their deliberations. AT 2.2O
o'clock the jury again entered the
court room, where the recorder and
other court officials were in waiting,
and the foreman announced that thew
had failed to agree on a ver-
dict. He added that their disa-
greement seemed hopeless of ad-
justment. Upon this announcement
Recorder Golf formally discharged
the twelve men composing the third
jury that has considered this cele-
brated case. 1t is understood that a
majority of the jury was for acquit-
tai, but in what proportion they
stood cannot be ascertained.
Miss Patterson collapsed on the
jury's announcement and tainted
dead away. She was assisted from
the court by one of her counsel and
several court attendants and revived
in the ante-room.
On the second return of the jury,
Recorder Goff made a personal ap-
peal to the foreman to endeavor
again to reach verdict. The fore
man entered the jury box and polled
the jurors in open court, but they
were not able to agree. The recorder
then asked them again if there was
not some point in law or something
he could do by which they might be
able to reach verdict, but the Jurors
remained steadfast and finally de-
clared their verdict disagreement.
Recorder Golf, before dismissinp
the jury, cautioned them not to tell
how they stood.

In Memory OF Miss Bennle Hunt.

On Friday afternoon, April 81, the
dark-robed angel of death entered the
home of Simon Hunt and conveyed from
earth to heaven the spirit of Miss Bennie
Hunt. Only a few days before she had
been in the bloom of health and joyous
young womauhood, ministering with
willing hands aud a loving heart to the
needs and comforts of tho family. Gentle,
kind and affectionate, she was the light
of her home and the idol of her friends
and relatives; of a cheerful, Joyous dis
position, she carried genial warmth and
sunshine wherever she went. She was
frank and generous and would rather
suffer herself than wound the feelings of
friend. To give pleasure to those
around her seemed to be her delight.
Less than year ago she made final
dedication of herself to the service of
the Master and was living life of noble
Christian simplicity and genuine helpful
ness.
The hearts of a father, three brothers,
two sisters and many relatives are
wrung by grief that nothing can re-
move. But may time and the assurance
that they can some day meet her on
brighter shore remove the gnawing pangs
from that grief In her Sunday school
and in the hearts of her friends is q
place left vacant which cannot be filled
But may the memory of her who fol-
lowed lfe's devious pathway, whether
through light or shadow, with cheerful
heart and even tenor of way inspire
them to nobler and fuller living.
Let us not sorrow without comfort for
her. The Father of all removed the
flower from earth in all of its freshness
and beauty and has transplanted it into
the Elysian fields to bloom there in eter-
nal freshness and beauty. After all
"Our birth is but sleep and forgetting;
the soul that rises with us, our life's star
hath had elsewhere it's setting, trailing
clouds of glory do wo come from God,
who is our home" Bennie has only re-
turned to that home before the glory of
the light which came from thence with
her, had as she travelled daily further to-
ward the west, faded into the light of
common day.
In life she was so sweet and kind,
Her gentle ways and quiet mien,
Made friendly toward her every mind
Sure to be loved wherever seen.
To her the world was bright and fair,
And sweet was life and hope and love,
Years lay tween her and ages care,
Her voice was soft as cooling doves.
A mother first, and sister fair
The Father called from earth away;
Now she has gone to join them there,
In Heaven to live eternally.
Grief and sorrow, sighs and tears,
Grim death leaves through endless
years,
Nor spares TO live the brightest flower,
Nor delays his work one single hour.
We sorrow now that she is gone,
And miss her quiet, gentle smile,
But who can say twill be so long,
Ere we shall meet in the After while!
We cannot know the ways of God;
Far wiser he than man;
Wen trust Him while through life we
plod
And try to meet in a brighter land.
A Friend.

BURIED THOUGHTS.

How often does the chopper OF some stone,
While toiling at his task Of heave and shock.
Find In the heart spa ce Of a severed rock
The impress OF some fern that once had grown,
Full Of aspiring lie and color tone.
Deep in the forest where the shadows flock,
Till, caught within the adamantinc block,
II lay for ages hidden and unknown.
So many beauteous thought blooms in the mind.
But. uHaSp.ssssd. droops down into the soul
knd lies unuttered in the silence there
Until some opener OF the soul shall find
That fernlike, fossicd dream complete and whole
And marvel at its beauty past compare!
