Upon wbioh Aunt Rsbocoa gave way
to the combined influence of her broth-
er's unkind remark and the fright of
ghost seeing, and fairly fainted without
further notice. According to the usual
oustom of womankind on such occasions,
Colonel Orme and all the other gentle-
men were hustled out in the hall, while
the viotim of the female officios was
deluged with eau de oologne, stifled
with burnt feathers and vigorously
treated with hot flannol.
"She's coming to, poor dear crea-
ture!" was the flnal verdiot hurled at
Colonel Orme, through a crack in the
door. .. .,
"Weil, I'm glad of it, I'm sure," said
the colonel, dolorously rubbing his
hands, "for it's oold out here in the
hall. Why, helloa! is this you, my
little Violet? What's the matter? You
haven't sten a ghost, I hopo ?"
"Ño, papa, faltered Violet, but —"
"Suppose we throe adjourn ibto the
library, Colonel Orme, and I will un-
dertake the task of explanatioa," inter-
posed Charles Halo wood, while Vio-
: et's face grew like flame.
"Well, may I venture to inquire what
all this means?" interrogated the be-
wildered colonel when the library door
was safely olosed.
"It means, sir," said Charles, laugh-
ing, yet a little puzzled how to proceed,
"that Violet, your daughter, and I
were just looking out at the stars in
the embrasure of the great ball win-
dow, when.we sav* some one approach-

what the apparition meant, when Miss
Rebeoca(whom it proved to be)dropped
her candle and ran shrieking away.
"So Violet was the ghost, eh ?" said
the colonel, repressing a very strong
inclination to laugh.
"You see, paps," interposed that
young lady, "1 wore my long cashmere
mantle, for I was afraid of taking cold,
and it was tied at the throat with red
ribbons and—"
And Aunt Rebecca took it for
granted you were the murdered heroine
of our family ghost stoiy, said the col-
onel archly. "But allow me to ask,
young people, what you were so inter-
ested in ?"
Well sir," said Hazlowood, "I had
; ust asked her if she wouldn't marry
me—don't run away Violet—and she
said 'Yes,' that is, if she could win her
father's consent."
"Well?"
"And I would like to know what her
father says to the proposition," added
the young officer, laughingly, detaining
Violet, wbo was struggling to escape.
"He says," answered Colonel Orme,
"that your intrepidity in facing the

"Is this seat occupied?" a lady tim-

not recall the fat man from hisMverie

What is the name?" pointing to the1 in tho brick wall of the depot. The
lady passed on as though embarrassed
at the sound of her request.
"Is one of these seata disengaged?"
The question wss asked in a firm,
clear voice by s young woman who
looked steadily into tlio monopolists
eyes as though she understood him.
His head turned slowly, and he coldly
replied:
All engaged."
Then he resumed his Btudy of the
wall, and the train moves alowly out
of the depot.
"Oof I"
The ezola r ation resembled exactly
the grunt of a pig. It was made by a
young mm with a dimple ia liia cheek
and a twinkle in his eye, on a seat di-
agonally across the aisle and behind
the baldheaded man. He was absorbed
in an interesting artUdBin a newspaper.
The exolamation wis Tot noticed.
"Oof! Oof I Oof I"
A young lady in the seat behind the
percon intended to be described by the
yonng man with the dimple, tittered
aloud. The fat man with four sittinga
stole a wicked glanoe at the young man
with tbe n«iNfü{3!r, and then settled
back with a determined gesture of bis
head and neck as if he wasn't going to
mind it.
"Oo-oo-oof I kweek! kweek! kwe-eek I
oof 1 oof I''
A tittering and gigglintr broke out
spontaneously up snd down tbe car.
The bald spot ou the fat mau's head
blazed. Then one foot was dragged
slowly off from flie front seat, then the
other. A hand reached out carefully
and set one valise on the floor. Then
tbe other valise followed.
Seat here, I guess, ladies," he
growled.
Thiee women threw grateful glances
at the grunter and took their seats.
The grunter, who had not lifted his
eyes from his newspaper, turned it
over to continue reading, but just at
that instant the train glided into the
tunnel.—NeivXwk Sun.
She Swore Keluclaull j
A few days ago two ladies called at
tbe oustom house to see about getting
some important articles out of the hand
of tbe government officers. They were
directed to the proper department,
where a courteous deputy collector in
formed them that it would be necessary
for the owner of the article in question
to make oath of their character. This
statement caused the elder lady evident
distress. She remarked uneasily that
she did not want to swear.
"The lnw lequires that yen should
swear to these facts," said the deputy
collector, as he proceeded to fill out
the necessary affidavit.
"But I can not—I really don't want
to," expostulated the lady.
"It is absolutely necessary that you
should," replied the officer; and he
immediately read, very rapidly, the
usual firm: "and do you solemnly, sin-
cerely and'truly swear, etc.
The lady cast an appealing glance at
the imperturbable officer, then looked
resignedly at her smiling companion
and said: "Well, if I must, I must, but
the Lord have mercy on my soul—dam
H." .
The astonished deputy collector ex-
plained to tbe lady the nature of the
oath required.
Copper In Texas.
A deposit of copper ore of un
cxampled extent has been discovered
in Archer, Wichita, Haskell, Kuox
and Wilbarger counties. Upon ex
amination it was found to be a highly
interesting ore '
pure sulphuret, containing about 72
percent, of metal. The geological
connections are of the highest inter-
est, and prove that the metalliferous
tract is a portion of the permian for-
mation which stretches down from
Kansas to Texas, and is the only ex-
ample of this formation known in the
United States. The oro íb pseud-

"John Byeoo'n."
"Where did lie live at the time of his
death?"
' Didn't live no whar, fur he was
dead."
"i mean did he live in this commu-
nity whou he died?"
"No, he was dead."
The driver was vory careful in se-
lecting the smooth plaoes, and the
followers were all so solemn, that the
marshal would hive gone on, had there
not been a difficulty in passing the
wagon. After a while be said:
"I suppose your friend was a good
man."
"Best in the neighborhood," replied
the gentleman who oarried the hymn-
book. "Best man I ever saw. Gould

three falls. I've know'd strong fellers
to rassel with him an' fur a time it
sorter 'pesred like they knowed he
would down 'em. Mighty easy feller

him?"
"Where are you going to bury him?"
"Did 'low ter bury him in the groun'
summers."
"Of course. Had he a wife at the
time of his death?"
"Noah."
"Never been married, I suppose?"
"Oh, yes."
"Wife died sometime ago, eh?"
"Noah. The woman what he married
is still erlive."
"Dive reed?"
"Noah."
"Then he had a wife when he died?"
"Noah, fur when he died she was a
widdy."
The deputy finding a place where he
could pass the wagon, rode on, and
not until he had goue some distance
did tho peculiarity of the affair strike
him with full force. His acquaintance
with squatter life caused him at first
to give the eccentric funeral but little
thought, but after a while bis eyes
seemed to be opened. Turning aside
into the thick woods, he decided to
wait an watch the course of the wag«n.
After awhile the vehicle came along,
and, just after passing him, turned
into a narrow road almost overgrown
with weeds and bushes. Dismounting
and tying his bridle rein to a sapling,
the deputy marshal cautiously follow
ed the wagon The funeral procession
descended into a creek bottom, crossed
the stream, entered a skirt of timber
and Btopped. A number of men,
working in a clearing, came forward
with unusual briskness and gathered
around the coffin, which was taken
from the wagon and placed on a stump.
The cups flashed in the sunlight, and
as the deupty marshal now crawling
on the ground, drew near, he saw the
men dip their cups into the coffin. The
odd funeral was thus of easy solution.
A coffin filled with whisky had been
brought lrom an illicit distillery to
make convivial the work of clearing
land, and it seemed that every man in
that community had been invited.
The officer knew that his life would be
endangered should he %e discovered
skulking around, and recognizing the
difficulty of crawling away unseen—
for it was only by the merest accident
that ho had remained to long unob-
served—he decided to walk boldly up
and take his chances, for he knew that
the crowd there were men who were
not illicit distillers, and who, should
violence be meditated, would attempt
to prevent such an outbreak. When
withiu a few yards of the coffin, some
one clapped on the lid, whilo others
began to sing a doleful air. A grave
had been dug, and they were in the act
of lowering the box, when the deupty
marshal said:
"Hold on, boys. Put the corpse on
the stump again. I am an Arkansaw
man myself,and law or no law, hanged
if I don't help you enjoy yourselves.
Her's fun," and they all drank. Tbe
odd funeral was not reported at court.

Esquimaux Dogs. „
When at Fort Albany we saw several
Esquimaux dogs, a species of canine
unknown in civilized communities
These doga are very large—much
larger than our New Foundland, and
much stronger when in condition,
Their strength, however varies. In
the winter, when they are well fed for
driving, they are much stouter and
stronger than in summer, when they
are poorly -fed, without exercise and
languid from the heat, which is very
telling upon them, as their native cli-
mate far to' the north is very severe
Their colors are white and yellow-
while impure breeds are white and
black—the hair thick and bushy, and
the tail long, thick and bushy and
curling up at the end. At times they
are very quiet, at others very savage.
They are driven ordinarily five in num
ber, but often more, before sleds, one,
invariably a female, leading, for the
others will follow her more readily.
Each dog has a separate rein, which is
held by the driver, who also has a great
long whip made of sealskin, plaited as
ordinary whips, but with the heavy
part of the lash about the thickness of
a man's wrist. The lash is from six to
nine fathons long, and the handle
made oi wood, from a foot to foot and
a half in length. When a dog is not
drawing properly or misbehaving in
any way, he or she is drawn by his
