On the evening of the 20th of January, 1705, the clty of Amsterdam way thrown Into unasual bustlo and confuston by the entrance of the French army under Pichegra. While the troops with stacked arms awalted thelr bllletsa and ratlons, the cltizens hastened to illaminate In horor of thelr arrival, and in splite of the piercing cold, thronged to welcomo the ‘heroes. Amid the general rejolcings, one house alone remslned with closed doors and darkened windows. It wasthe dwolling of the wealthy merchant, Worden, who wholly occupled in business, cared littte for politics, still less for the arrival of the Freuch, and was far too carefal of his money to waste it In llluminating like his Wrapped In his far dressing gown, o sealskin oap drawn olosely over the few gray halrs that time had left upon bis head, ho had wheelod his oasy chale close to the chimney,nnd he ruboed his hand over the bright coal fire sceming it | 1ost n & reverle from which nelther the beer nor the long clay pips on the table had power to rouse him, Alljat once thejsllence was broken by a violent ring at the doorbell, The old man started, and turned to a stoat, red- cheeked servant, who, seated at a respect- ful distance, was ocoupylng herself in knitting & stocking. “‘See who 1t s, Jaqueline,” eald he, “that comes to disturb us at this uns onable hour.” In & fow minates a tall young man en- tered, and throwing off his cloak, saluted the old man as father. “‘Ha! is it you, Wilhelm? Idid not expect you back 8o scon.” *I huve just returned from Broeck?” replied the other, ‘‘and should have ar. rived long ago, had not the road been so encumbered with troops and other {dlers.” ““Have you seen Van Elberg?” “Yes,” answered the young man, tak- ing his seat by the fire, *'and he consents to my unlon with his daughter, but re. fusca to glve more than four thousand ducats fcr her dowry.” “Then he may keep both ducats and daughter,” eald the merchant angrily. **But conslder, father—" “Consider what?” Interrupted Wor- den, “There Is nothing to conelder. I know that at your sge love outwelghs go!d, but time will teach you that when poverly comes In at the door love flies through the window.” “‘But, father,” argued the young man, “Van Elberg is one ¢f the richest men in the country, and sooner or later his daughter must have all his fortune.” *‘T'at, tut!” sala Worden, *‘Van Elberg knows well what he s about, but cunning as he is, he shall not put a bad bargain on me. As for you, Wilhelm, 1 have prom- Ised to give you up my business, and 1 now recommend your taking a word of advice with 1t: never glve more than you receive, and always consider ‘your tran- sactlons, Rely on It, that s the only way to prosper In businees as well as in love. And now we will drop the sub- ject.” ! The young man knew his father’s hu- mor too well to press the matter further, at least at that moment. As he sat brooding over his dissppointment the bell rang aud the tread of a horse'’s feet was heard in the courtyard, while the watch- deg commenced a furious barking. It is certainly a stranger this time,” sald Mynhesr Worden. “There’'s no miatake in the dog's bark.” He was Interrapted by the eervant bringing in a package. “‘Commissariat department!” said her master, with no little surprise, as he opened it; but an exprezsion of unessi- ness, which had at first alightly contract- ed his features, changed Into one of pleas- ure as he read on: **An order to deliver 400,000 herring for the use of the French army,” he continued; *‘a very acceptable commisslon. Wilhelm, you shall marry Van Elberg’s daughter and he shall give her a handsome dowry in spite of him- gelf.”” *‘How eay you, my dear father?” re- plied the gon, unable to believe his sensen at this unexpected transition. *‘Leave that to me, Wilhelm,” sald Worden, “Order our horses to be sad- dled at daybreak, and mind that Iam called in time, for we must be at Broeck before 12 o'clock. And mnow, good night,” The rlsleg sun saw our travelers on the road to that colebrated village, where cleanliness Is carrled to such an extent that before entering the streets both father and gon, in compliance with an In- varfable custom, were obliged to dis- mount and leave their horses in the care of a servant. At the door of Van El- herg's heuse they were required to do what, a few yeara later, neither Napoleon nor the Ewperor Alexender were ex- empted from, and taking off their boots, replaced them with slippers before they were allowed to enter the room where he sat with his daughter Clothilde, *‘Good mornlzg, Mynheer Worden,” said he, 88 he shook hands warmly with frlend. *“‘Have you been frightened ont of your good clty by the Frecch that you honor me 80 early with a frlendly visit?” “‘Not at all, Van Elberg,” sald the other, *I care nothing aboat the French, and as I never meddle in poli- tlos, It Is quite immaterial to me who governs our town. But I came to make you s proposal, I have undertaken to furnlsh the commissariat four hundred thousand berring on this dsy month, and 1 wish to know if 1t wou'd be convenlent for you to procure them for me In three weeks!” ‘At what price?” asked his friend. “Ten gullders per thousand.” “Ten gullders,” repeated the other, “You shall have them."” “Draw out the contract, then,” said Worden, *‘and when it is slgned 1 shall bs happy to partake of your hospitality, for my ride has given me an appetite.” Then turning to Clothilde, he continued, I have come to arrange anothker matter, too, which we can discuss after dinuer,” It was o valn that, daring the eve: uing, Worden tric1 every way to change his felend's resolution respecting his daughter's fortune, After &' long dls- cussfon he was obliged to give up the polnt, and the marrisge was at length - |dixed to take place the following week. Next day, when Wilbe'm and his father returned home, the former could not refraln from expresslog some cur- icsito concernlog the cause of this change in hia prospects. “What do you mean?” he ssked his father. **Have you not given up the point aboat his daughter's fortunei” *“I ahoald have thought you knew me botter, ' replled Worden, looking slily at bis son, *‘Butno matter; It ls rufficlent that you marry’ the girl you like."” Osce more at home the merchant shut hlmsslf {n his offive untll evening, when he reappesred with a packet of letters, which were lmmediately posted, Oa the dey appolntea for the marrlage Wilhelm snd his father arrived at Broeck, whera they found a large party of friends and relatives assemble to meet them. Van Elberg welcomed them cor- dially, but thero was an expression of care and embarrassment on his face that made the bridegroom fesr new obstacles to his happiness, The elder Worden, however, in no way shared his son's anxlety, for he could give s tolerably good guess at the cause of his hoat's un- easiness. “Mynheer Van Elberg,” he excla!med, “‘what oan be the matter! Are you un- well?” ‘‘No, no, my dear frlend,” replied the other, *‘not unwell, but in the most un- pleasant dllernma possible. I would wish to speak with yon immediately in prl- vate.” In 1t snything rospeoting the mar- rlage?” asked Worden, “If yau wish to b off your word there s still time.” **Not for the world.” “In that case we will proceed at once to the church. You know that I like to do things regularly, and as I came here to see my son married, we will finish that businees first and thea I shall be happy to hoar what you have to say.” There was no remedy, and it was not antil after the happy couple had been made husband and wife that Van Elberg could succeed In catching his frlend alon *I am bound to deliver to you 400,000 herring In fourteen days,” said he, ‘‘and not a single fish can I get at any prlce.” Worden could not restraln his laughter. “I dare say not,” he replled. I b.ught them up long ago.” “‘In that case, of courae, the contract Is at an_end,” sald Van Elberg, looking doubtfally at his friend. “By no means—or, at lesst, only on certaln conditions, We have thls day anited our children, Van Elberg, and shall leave them a fortune when we dle. But as regards the present, matters are less fairly arranged. My son received a capltal business, while you only gave your daughter 4,000 ducats. Now, as 1 did not like to make them unhappy by refasing my consent to thelr marrisge, I thought you and I would settle the mat- ter another way. You sre to deliver 400,000 herring at 10 gullders per thou- sand; you can gat them from no one but me, and 1 must have 50 guilders per thousand or I do not part with a single tail. The difference is 16,000 guilders, which Iinlend to pay my son as his wife's just dowry.” Van Elberg looked rather foolish dur- ing this explanation, but at the end re- gotoed his self-possession, aud even smiled as he said, clapping him on the back: ““You've outwitted me, Mynheer Wor- den, and I must pay the penalty, so say no mors about it, And now let us joln our frlends.” Elght days afterwsrd Van Elberg went to vislt his daughter at Amsterdam, and In his turn found Worden in the greatest perplexity. “‘You are the very parson I wanted,” sald he, sajzing his hand. *‘Unless you can assist ms I am a rulned man. The herrings are all ready, but high or low not a barrel 1s to be found.” Van Elberg’s little gray eves twinkled cunningly, ‘‘Every man for himself, Worden. You bought the fish and I bought the barrels. But as old frleads, 1 won’t take advan- tage of you, and you shall have as many as you want for exactly 16,000 guilders above the cost.” Worden looked rather blank, but did his best to cenceal his vexation. “‘The trick is not a bad one,” sald he with a forced smile, ‘‘but you must con- fors I taught it you.” *‘Ay, ay,” returned the other. *You ara clever fellows at Amsterdam, but we are not all fools at Broeck,” A Borrie or SAMARITAN NERVINE enables cne to defy Asthma, Nervous- ness, and General Debility. $1.50, at Druggists. “Kvery Epileptlc sufferer ought to_try Samarltan Nervine at once,” eays Rev.

The scens of his visitations Is a solid log house, two storles high, covered with a cloee roof, The ghost makes it exceedingly lively for Henry Wilson and family, who are at pressnt ocoupying the house, The ghoat or spirlt, or what ever It ia, {s quite mus cular, A fow night's since, after Mr. and Mrs, Wilson had retired and were gently dropping into the arms of Morpheus, & nolse was hoard under the bed, aud the next moment the worthy couple were thrown out on the floor with the bedetead and bedding on top of them. The lamp was lighted and a search of the room was made, but nothing was discovered. Righting up the bed and azain rotiring they were startlod by an uneartbly ecream, bload-curdling and -splitting, all the furniture In the room at tho same time danclng & jlg. A light was agaln procared, bat as before nothiog was dis- covered. The next night Mr, Wilson was awak- ened by belng strack In the face b, and heavy corncakes, alarmed at these nightly manifestations of anger Mr, Wilson called in two men to watoh for the spook. But this only seemed to anger the uncanny visitor, and evidences of his displeasure were dle- played in many and strange freaks. Mr, Stigsll, one of the young men called in, glven a resounding slap on the facs, and which caused the tesrs to flow and made a whole firmament of stars dance before his eyes. Mr. Gaston, the other young man, was struck In the face with wet clods and thrown across a table and given cther evidence that the ghost was amply able to take care of himeelf, Maniacal screams were heard, doors were slammed and furniture thrown around the room in & most reckless man- ner until a match was lghted, when ali was &8 silent as the grave. Butno sooner was tho light extingalshed than the racket began agsin and continued through the night, ceas'ng only when a lamp was lighted, and o0 1t goes every night.

A Texas Tragedy and Ita Oonseqnen- ces—A Young Rancher's Death, Teo the Editor of the Bxr, I will address you a few lines regard ing & young man sapposed to be kil'ed by Indians, which I hope you will find room in your valuable paper to publish, as {: may reach his relatives. His name Is Walter Harrls. He came to this vicinlty about two momths alnce, sald he was looking ont a location for a horse ranch, stopped at my ranch moat of the time he was In this country. He bought 250 head of me and started north, He met with an accldent on the 1G:h of this month, which I wiil give just as it was stated to me by a young man working for Mr. Harrie. Ho took a long drlve on the 16th to reach Palidoxo creek, near the line of Texas and Indlan territory, I waa on guard and heard shooting” In the camp. I thought at the timo a bear had come In camp and the boys were shoot- fog at it but when I rodearound the the horses near oamp 1 saw about twenty- five men on horseback. At the same time I saw Mr. Harels and one of his men _como through the llne onteide Mr. Harrls had a six-shooter in each hand and was skooting at the men very fast. The mon, or Indians, were keeplng up & dendly fire on the camp, Just as Mr. Harrls and his man (Bllly Wade) got through the line of Indiana I saw Billy fall from his horse. Walter stopped and got off his horse and shot reveral timees 1 guess he saw Billy was dead, for he got on his horse Immediately and rode cff in a gallop, shooting back every jump, He came up to me and sald, ‘‘tura the horses loose, Charley, and save youraelf. 1 will try to get the red devils to follow me,” and that was the last time he waseeen or heard of. 1 heard him shootlng for some timo after he left me. I lsy out till daylight and then went in camp and found two men killed (Jim Snow and Ben Hale) Irode out to where Billy fell and found him dead. That was all of the boys but the cook, and he was gone. I found him five miles down the creek. He said when the shooting com- menced he 1:y flat on the ground till they followed Walter cfi; then he ran off. We hunted for Walter six days and fouad his horse kllled, but could not find him. W brought his horees back here. 1 have his horses hera at my raach. I do not wonderful storles concerning the gigantic ruins that had been discovered on some of the smallor isleis at the eastern end of the archipelago; bat 1t was not until 1883 that anythiog approaching to a systematic survey of the group wra undertaken. In that year her majesty’s ship Espelgle toushed at many of the lslande, and those officors who went achore found that the magntficsnce of the remafns had not beon exaggerated. The most imposing ruins are at Metai anim harbor, in Ponape, and at Chabrol harbor, In Kusale; and an idea of thelr granaeur may bs formed from the fach that some of the stones of the bullding measare as much as 35 fest long by 20 foet broad and 15 feot thick. They are ornamented with rade sculptures, which baar a family resemblance to the well known soalptares of Easter {sland, In the southern Paclfic; yet Easter Island and the Carolines are fully 6,000 miles apatt, and o far a3 discoverable, thero has never been any communication be- tween them. The object and origin of the monuments are alike unknown, The Carollne group, which was discovered by Spaln In 1526, bas hitherto, even by German geographers, boen regarded ss a Spanish possession; although for years there have heen no Spansh residents on any of the islands, The extent of the land sutface of the group Is rather more than 300 equare miles; and the cattmated population ts 22,000 souls, all of whom sra of the Malay race. e —— The Shakers Shaking, What makes a man feel as shaky as chills and fever?

Incidents in the Career of Martin Ewing, of Daltor, Mo.,, Who is Frobably 120 Yoears Ola, Probably the oldest men ln the Unltol States ls now Jiving near Dalton, fonr miles west of St. Loule, with his son. Hoe is n colored man and was born In Prince Edwards county, Virgiuia, sbout 1765, Hia first owner was James Ewlng, grand- father of John J. and 8. P. Ewing, who live In and near thst place. Helhas been in the Ewlng family sinco his birth, and calls himself Martin Ewlng. Inssmuch as the longevlty of many of these colored people Is of a doubtful character, your|g correspondent will mention some facts to corroborate tho statement last made: Qol. Jamzs Ewlvg, whom all of the old cltlzsns here knew, and whose family record is extant, died in 1859 at the age of 84, He often menticned to his family that this man, Martin Ewing, was his dry nurse, and that he was a good many years older than himself. Martin clalms that C.1. Ewing was brought to his mas- ter's house & very emsll boy, snd his (Martin’s) business was to nurse him, Mar- tin says he was_old enough to plow corn at that time. Now, allowing the colonel to have been two years old when he came to Jamgs E, Ewlng's, Martin’s master, and Martin to be twelve, which he un- doubtedly was, it makes this old colored man 120 yesre old, as Cul, Ewing wonld be 110 if now living. This man's memory 13 good and his mind clear, But few wrinkles furrow his cheek, 1f he would dye his hair his gen- eral appearance would indloate & man ¢f about 70, He has lost but fow teeth, his eyesight 1s good, except u cataract fn one eye, from a blow forty-five years ago, His appetite and digestion ara as_good as they were elght years ago. He has 8 | chowed aud smoked tobacco for 110 years, and always drank whiskey when he could get 1t, though he bes not been drunk for thirty-five years. He was mot a body servant of Gen. Washington and has no recollection of ever seeing bim, He sa) when the British came to hils master’s house all the colored people were taken to the woods and hiaden. His recollectlons of camp-meetlogs and the Methodists are very entertalning, He has seen hundreds shouting at once and falllng from benches in a helpless, life lees state. When Lorenzo Dow preached in his neighborhood all the negroes were allowed to go nights and Sundays. He thinks he was at the meeting when Dow found the stolen ax, and tells all the olreumstances connected with it, He has had slx wives, and bls or her soclal ex- periences are a good deal like Solomon's, Martin thinks religion don’t do people good like It did & hundred years 8go, but glves it most of his tlae now.
