"Xo." said I, "not dnoctlv." And then mii
boldem'd by circuiiistatiecH, I added: Ilut tiiat
Bocret vimt ir or fr:oud of vouia had much ti
do with it."
"I thought that might lie so," aha auawerod,
"and now, Ooorgo, 1 want to tell you aorao
thiuK, 1 am afraid it will Hhock yoa very
luilfh.'
"I ha to had so mu.li t -ilio.:k ina lately that
I can stand nlmcint inyt !iin now."
Vi'ell, thn, it ia t!:i"i," fchj aaid. "That p:r
Hnn whom I nnw Houictinuis, and whora you
otici found under rti v window, is a gliost."
"Hid you kuow that?" 1 criod "I know it
was a tjuoBt, but did uot imagine that you had
any suspicion of it"
"Why, yes," sho ausworod, "I saw through
him aliuoHt from the very first I was a good
deal Htartlod. and a little frightened whan I
found it out, but I soon felt that thia ehost
couldn't dorno any harm, and you don't know
how atuuaing it was. I always had a fancy for
choHtu, but I never ospeotad to iuott with ona
lik thU."
-And ao yon know till the time it wasn't a
real man," I ett'laimcd. still flilod with astOq
ishmout at what I had linard.
A real man!" cried Uello, with consider!
bio contempt iu her tones. "Do you aupposa I
would hecomo aciiuaitited in tfcvt way w ith a
real man, and let nini come under my window
and talk to me I wus determined not to tell
.any of you about it, for I knew you wonldu't
approve of it. and would break up thofun soma
way. New 1 wish mout hoaiuty that I had
spoken of it"
Vos," I answered, you might have saved
much trouble."
"But, oh! Oeorce " eha continuod, "you'va
no idea how funny it was! Such a ridiculous,
self -conceited, old- fiihioued ghost of a beau!"
las, said l, "when it was alive it courted
your grandmother. "
"Tho Impudence!" exclaimed Bella. "And
to think that it supposed that I imagined it to
lxi a l oal man ! W hy, one day, when it was
talking to mo it stepped back into a roso bush
and it stood there ever so long, all mixed tap
with the roses and leaves."
"And you knew it all the time?"
Tboso words were spoken in a hollow voice
by soma ono near tin. Turning quickly, wa
aaw the ghost of Buck Edwards; but no longer
the jaunty spectre wo had soon before. Ilia
hat was on the back of his head, his
knees were turned inward, his shoulders
droopod. his head hung, and his arms dangled
limp at his sides.
4 Yes," said Hello. "I knew it all the time."
Tho ghost looked at her with a faded, misty
eve ; and then, instead of vanishing briskly as
was his wont, ho began slowly and irrosolutely
to disappear. First his body faded f mm view,
then his hoad, leaving his hat and boots. These
gradually vanished, and tho last thing wa saw
of the onco Buck Edwards was a dissolving
view of the tip-cod of a limp and drooping
riding vhip.
"Ho is g.vie," said Belle. i(r',H never sea
hm atatn." -
"Yes," said I, "he's gono. I think your dis-
cowry of his real nature baa completely broken
up thii proud spirit And now, what is to be
done about Madeline?'
"Wasn't it iho ghost you callod an interloper?"
asked Bello.
"(Vrtainly it was." I replied.
"Well, tho a. go and tell hr so," said Bcllo.
"About the gh'ist a id all!" I exclaimed.
"Certainly," iliu s ii-1.
And ti);e:ljor wo wont to Madeline, and I
told her all I fouud her with her anger gtme,
and "foeped in misery. When I had finished,
all Fegrainod as she was, she plunged into my
arms. I pressed my wife and child closely to
my bosom, aad wo wept with joy.
Whon Will Crenshaw came home and was
told the story, he said it didn't troubles him a
bit.
"I'm not afraid of a rival like that," he re

During the dull hours of noonday the Broad
way horse dealers while away the time by
practical joking. Yesterday one of the funniesl
jokes was perpetrated on an unsuspecting
Irishman who sauntered into John - P. Mol
lally's stable. After a desultory talk be was
drawn into 'giving a history of himself. He
aid he waa from the AfcNeals of Bally James
Duff, County Kavaii,' Ireland, and hie
daughter Kate and brother Jerrr lived on the
land that he first saw tha-light ' on. Tobr
Mealin reutod the land ad "orniug his, and lived
there with his wifo, son- a ;d daughter. He gave
many other facta about .'da family. A few
momenta later Mr. Mni:lly Withdrew and
went to Tom Maxwell's stable. McNeal waa
asked if he wouldn't like to hear from Ireland
by telephone. He waa dehhted with the pros
pect, and put his ear to t:ie trumpet, asking:
Who's there?" . , , , .
From Maxwell's stable , which in the mean
timw had been connected with Muilally's, Mr.
MuIlallT replied in a voio as nearly feminine
as he could; "Thia ia Kat.. O'Neal, Bally Jamea

"Meella Murhder," exc'uinied Mike.dropplng
the trumpet and claspiujr ais hands in surprise,
"I recognize her vice." rabbiug his trumpet

Cncle Jerry ia well," r.-.;.ied tho voice. Ha
went to town to-day. I got your last letter.
Uncle Jerry is goin' to take Tobv Mealm a

was silent, and McNeal h i tg up the .trumpet,

to take it and ntop the Federal inibtitry

then and thcro by myself. I inuv be excused
perhaps for detailing the eirouuistaiues nnd. i
which tho old while tovrel (value about 'Si o uts)
nerved thu doublo duty of announcing the sur
render of Leo's army almost simultaneously to
a charging column of Kiivridan's entire cavslrr
and Ord'M infantry corps in line of battle, that
wers closing in arouud Iaio frinn sppaiefo
points of thu compass. Gcu. Custer on tho
night before had nude impossible thi further
retreat of IjOo's army toward Lynchburg by
charging on to Appomattox Station, in advance
of orders, capturing the depot and railway sup
ply trains, and, after a desperate night battlo,
capturing tweuty-fiw pieces of artillery aud
planting hia command aoroaa tha Lynchburg
piko, facing east totvard Lee. During the night
Goo. Urd's infantry leached the flild aud took
Use position won by Cliider. On tho morning
ArAhe t'th Sheridan ruoved hia whole cavalry
com maud out ov- li.x riglds south of tho court
house, Gen. C'ustei 's division iu advance, and
received the lire cf tha enemy's artillery.
Wa had reached a lavorablo point for a
charge at what appeared to be the center of
the rebel line, when au oflicer galloped out to
us, with the truce in his hand, aud said to Gen.
Custer: "Gen. Leo requests a suspension of
hostilitiea." Custer instantly halted and turn
ing to me, by his aide, said: "Go with this
officer and say for me to Gen. Lea that I can
not atop this charge unless ha announces
an unconditional surrender as I am not insole
command on this field." The ofiicer gave his
name as Maior Kims of Lofigstreet's start, a:-d
hurriedly piloted ma through tha rebel lines,
but a few rods in our front, where artillerymen
stood iu position by their shotted guns and
pilos of amunitiou. On the way to Leo we
wero met by Gen. Gordon, with a group of many
other prominent officers, who stated that the
requost for a suspension of hostilities was. in
fact, unconditional surrender, that had
just rodo away to tha rear to fiend Grant, and
that tho infantry line of battle closing in on
them from the west must be halted and fu. -ther
bloodshed stoppod. I consented to Jake the
same truca and stop tha infantry if Maj. Sims
wduld accompany me. He did so, and we both,
doubtless a littlo warniod up and out of breath,
explained to Generals Ord and Chamberlain
tha situation, whan their line halted and cheer
after cheer rolled from right to left.
At this point Sims and myself parted, be to
return to Gn. Gordon, a "short distance, and
hi full view over au open field, and I to return
to Gen. Custer, whoro tho ground was not
open, and tho rattle of the carbine was still
heard, and, of course, the truce in hand was
still needed. On reaching Gen. Custer 1
learned that a Confederate cavalry commander
had been trying to charge through our lines on
the right, and had not succeeded. 1 had no
further use for the truce,; and ' handed it to
Go n. Custer, who more than any other persen
was entitled to the possession of the reLc, as
he had dona most toward bringing about the
surrender. Gen. Sheridan never saw the truce
when in use, never possessed it, and, of course,
never gave it to Gen. or Mrs. Custer. Mrs.

From Baku, Russia, cornea the statement
that the great oil-kings of that region have
purchased the discovery made by M. Ditmar,
he Swede, for solidifying kerosene. By this
process the oil can be made into candles, or
into a substance resembling tallow, and again
leatoredto its former state. Nobel Brothers,
who have purchased this patent, have nearly
82,500,000 invested in railway tank cars and
numerous cistern steamers for the conveyance
of the oil, most of which would be rendered use
less by this discovery. Heuoe, by securing the
patent, they propose to preserve their undertak

HLEROGLYPHIOS.
Cariosities or Written Laugmag-e
nese Sjubols.
-Chi-
Jas. C. Layard in Phrenological JouruaL
ine nrst attempt made at writing waa
liieroglyphicaL Tliis was primarily, inorely a
ru le representation of the subject meant to be
dignified. Thus a flguro of tho aim waa made
to denote that luminary. A figure of a Hon or
of a dog moant the animal ao pictured. In pro
cess of timo, when knowlodgo iucreased, the
attempt was mado to express in this manner
abstract ideas as well as nonsiblo ob
jects. The delineations were then more
figuratively explained. Thus tho flguro
of tho sun, bcides its original and mora
literal moaning, denoted glory, or genial
warmth; that of a lion, courage; of a hare,
ti nu'Jity; of an ox, strength of a stag, swift
ness; of a dog, fidelity, and so on. Ingrati
tudo waa denoted by a viper; imprudence by a
fly ; wisdom by an ant ; victory by a stork ; a
man universally shunnod, by an oel, which was
supposed to be never found in company with
any other fish. A still farther advancement
in knowledge caused these delineations to be
cotne too voluminous, every uw object oi
thing requiring a new picture. This induced,
the delineator to a bring the representation,
retaining only so much of each figure as would
f iprosa its species. For example, instead of a
an accurate drawing of a lion, only a alight
sketch or moro general figure of that animal
was made, and for a serpent merely a crooked
line like the letter ii.
As writing advanoed from pictures of visible
objects to symbolical hieroglyphs of things in
visible, from this latter it advanced among
some nations to mere arbitrary marks which
stood for objects and ideas without any re
semblance or analogy to the thing signified. Of
this natius are tha characters used to this day
iu China and Japan. In those countries thay,
have no alphabet of letters or representation
of pimple sounds, bat the sharacters used
stand for things, actions, or idoos. Tha
nn.nber of these characters must be immense,
corresponding to tha whole number of words
employed in speech. It is estimated at from
70,000 to 80,000, and it ia t be work of a life
time to learn them alL Very few even of their
learned men know the half of them; and they
think that great progress bna been maie. when
after forty or fifty years of hard study, one
has mastered 15,000 or ',000 of them. The
Chinese, Japanese, Tonquinese, and Coreans,
though each speak a different tongue, use
the eame written characters. - .
They are thus able to correspond with each
other, though one nation is ignorant of tha
spoken language of the others. Thia ia indis
putable evidence that the characters they use
stand for things rather than for words, the
same as the figures 1, 2, H, represent certain
quantities independent of the names by which
these quantities are expressed in the speech of
different nations, and which . on being pre
sented to the eye, are understood alike by all
who have agreed upon the use of these figures
and the value attached to each, whether En
glish, French, Germans or Spaniards, however
much tho speech of each of these people may
differ from that of tho others.
Tho Bedstead or an Eat Indian ITInee
St James Gazette. I
There is on view in Paris at tho present
time a bed of rare and singular construction,
which has been made to the order of an Indian
prince, and is about to be sent out to him.
The bedstead, which is of satinwood, with
large plates of silver repousse work, is very
beautifully carved, and has cost upward of
2,400. The most original part of this bed is
the mattraas, which has been fitted up as a
musical box, so that directly any ono lies
down it plays tunes selected from Gounod's
operas.
At the four corners of the bed are four
statues, representing young girls of Greek,
Spanish, Italian, and French nationality, their
only ornament being a gold snake bracelet
twisted round the wriat which holds the fan
they are waving over the sleeper. By an in
genious contrivance of the artist employed to
cast these statues, the eyeB have been made to
move; and the realistic appearance of these
young ladies is heightenod by the addition of
four wigs in four shades of color, supposed to
bo typical of each nation. The arms of the Itajah
are carved at the head of the bedstead, which,
though in shocking bad taste, ia a marvel of
workmanship.
' THE ORIGINAL 00L. SELLERS.
The Operations of Old'BIU JIuldrow
. in the Wilds orMlssonrl.
Cor. New York Sun.'
The writer has seen several sketches pur
porting to be of the original CoL Sellors
Having been raised near. '. the birthplace of
Mark Twain and thai Home of tho celebrated
CoL Mulberry, he takes the liberty of saying
that, although several of the peculiarities as
cribed to that individual may have been ob
tained from the aforesaid originals, yet the
original CoL Sellers has never been written up.
He was William Muldrow, commonly known as
Bill Muldrow. He was a farmer and speculator
EsTar Philadelphia, Mo. Philadelphia was then
a village of low inhabitants, and is still a mere
village. c
Bill Muldrow was the first man who con
ceived the idea of s railroad connecting the
valley of the Mississippi with the Pacific slope.
By some course of reasoning known only Ui
hhuself, he reached the conclusion that Philar
dolphia could be made the f utnre great city of
the west, if not of the world, aud with this end
in viw he perfected his plans for the building
of a railroad that was to bare San Francisco
for its western terminus and for its eastern
terminus Marion City, a boat landing on the
Mississippi, about fifteen mila east of Phila
delphia. Fully persua.lod that there were
"millions in it, he went east and confided to a
few capitalists hia plans for buying up certain
corner lots by the aero, an 1 uo liug at 2,0U0
per front foot in connection with his railroad
scheme.
-What sort of a talker he was, and how well
he succeeded in imbuing these capitalists with
his own enthusiasm, may: be imagined when
we state that the sound of the hammer and
saw. and the steady tramp of the hod-carrier in
the lane of Philadelphia soon succeeded, the
musical tinkle of tho sbnp-tjeU. A tine brick
hotel olimbed story by story toward the clouds.
Blocks of buildings rose faster than men could
or would flock to occupy them. A wharf was
erected at Marion City, and the embankment
that was to reach from the Mississippi west to
the great city of Philadelphia, and a till west to
the golden gate of tbe Pacific, was begun.
Things were booming, but it was a surface
boom. Deeper down there was a heavy un
dertow. Large sums of money were required Mul-di-ow's
backers, beginning to mistrust the fi
nancial Bucceas of the scheme, became more
niggardly in their advances. As the expenses
grew heavier the mouey with which to meet
them grew less, and, an little by little they fell
behind, the army of bricklayers, the horde of
laborers on the embankment aud the pile-drivers
and bridge builders of Marion City for,
liko Venice, it was on the water became
more clamorous for their pay.
The crash same, as in such cases it inevita
bly must come. Bill Muldrow was ruined
financially, but, as he soon had occasion to
demonstrate, not intellectually. The sheriff,
preparatory to making a levy, called on him
for an inventory of his real estate. Bill was
equal to the occasion. He give in not ouiy his
own laud, but. interspersed between tracts
much -that was not his own. Now, Muldrow,
liko many other unfortunate mon, was blessed
with sons-in-law, aud to these he confided his
scheme and asked their assistance He des
cribed his own land minutely and iustructod
them when to bid.
The sale came off. Th first tract offered did
not belong to Bill, and this soon became whim
pered around. Tba result was that the bidding
wsji Terr slow, and the sale was about par
alyzed. The sons-in-law ecoojed in the bona
fide tract for a paltry sum.
Having saved his farm. Bill went to Califor
nia, where he engaged in some kind of a land
speculation, arrrt where his fondness for law
suits soon became proverbial A ten-minutes'
conversation with hi'.n invariably resulted in a
suit at law. Fading 13 retrieve his fortunes i:
the west, he returned iu his old age to tha
scene of his former uiiimph. and hia ashes
now rest in the country church-yard near his
old home.
Philadelphia stUl stands, a relic, not of
what was, but of what might have been. The
hotel looms up, gray and grand in its utter
desolation. Tha window-g.ass ia broken, the
walls are cracked, the ceilings are mildewed,
and th very bricks seem crumbling back to
the duet from whenc they caino.
Marion City found a grave 'mid the swirling
waters of the Mississippi in tha great flood of
'til, but th embankment and the old rock
bridge still fight their share of iho battle that
always enda.in oblivion. " ' " j
