My business on the Jury's done tho qulb-

I've watched tho lawyers right and left, and
give my verdict true ;
I stuck so long upon my ohair, I thought I
would grow In,
And If I do not know myself, they'll get me

But now the court'sadjournedfor good, and I
have got my pay;
I'm loose, at last, and thank the Lord I'm

I have no doubt my wife looked out, as well
as any ono
As well as any woman could to see that
things was done,
For though Mellnda, when I'm there, won't
set her foot out' doors.
She's very careful, when I'm gone, to tend to
all the chores,
But nothing prospers half so well,;when I go
go off to stay,
And I will put things In shape when I get
home to-day.
The mornlu' that I came away, we had little
bout;
I cooly took my hat and left, before tho show
was out.
For what I said was naught whereat she
ought to takn offense ;
And she was always quick at-words, and
ready to commence,
But then sho's llrst ono to give up, when she
has ha heOay ;
And sho will meet me with a kiss, when I go
home to-day.
My little boy 111 give 'em leave'to match
him if they can.t
It's fun to see him strut about, and try to bo
a man!
Tho gamestj cherlest little chap you'd ever
want to se !
And then they laugh, becauso I think the
child resembles mo. J
Tho little rogucjl lie goes for mo like robbers
for their prey ;
He'll turn my pockets inside out, when I go
home to-day.
My little girl I can't contrive how it should
happenjthus
That God conid pick that sweetboquet, and
flingit down to us,
My wife, she says that han'so'me face will
some day make a stir;
And then I laugh,; becausosho thinks tho
child resembles her.

CHAPTER VI.
MAKING A COMPACT.
Thorewas not muoh to explain,
only that on being swung Into the
doorway, where they Btood ollnging
together, the tide of the little war
Boon ebbed awny from where they
were, and they were able to escape al
most unnoticed from the other end of
the street, wandering on till they en
countered one of the police, who gave
them instructions, after hurrying
them along part of their way, and
then left them to procure help, with
the result'WeJhavo seen.
"We can never bo sufficiently grate
ful to you, Mr. Dawson, for your bravo
defense of two strangers," said Mrs.
Adams, pressing his hand warmly.
"Well," said Dawson, In a quiet,
nonchalant way, "I don't know that
it was much to do. I'm like your
man Larry I like a fight."
As he spoke he glanced hastily to
ward Mary Adams; but she did not
look in his direction, although he had
enunciated his strange declaration to
tempt her to speak.
"lam sure my sister is as grateful
as I am myself," said Mrs. Adams,
glancing in a surprised way at Mary,
who now looked up for a moment, and
met Dawson's dear, sharp gaze, be
fore whioh,her eyes Jell, and she said,
quietly,
"lam very grateful to Mr. Daw
son." "Perhapsryou'll just begin to talk
gratitude, too," said Dawson, grimly,
as he turned to Adams. "It makes a
man feel so uncomfortable just as if
he were being rubbed down with prai
rie thistles. Why, what a fuss you
all make! Wouldn't any man have
donejustthe same? Not much ofa
man," he added, in an under-tone, "if
he wouldn't."
He rose then with quite Old-World
polite'ness, for Mrs. Adams and Mary
were leaving tho room ; and eoou af
ter Adams and his now friend were
alone.-
"Nice place this, ain't it?" said
Dawson beginning to smoke. ,
"Nice placet" said Adams indig
nantly. "I shall never rest till I've
left it fifty miles behind."
"But I wouldn't be in too great a
nurry," said Dawson.
"Hurry too great a hurry?"
"Well, yes ; you have ahurledsorfc

of way at doing thing3 that isn't al
ways convenient. Judging strangers,
for instance."
He looked in a droll way at the
young former as he spoke, and the
other held out nis hand.
"I beg your pardon Dawson," he
said warmly. "I did misjudge you.
I came a perfect stranger, and I wa9
suspicious of every one I met."
"Of course, and the best way, too,'
said Dawson laughing. -1 might have
been a regular sharper for aught you
could tell. But you don't think I'm
one now?"
"Dawaon," said Adams, warmly.
"I shali never forget the aervicejyou
have done me and mine."

of us. But never mind that now.
Tell me this how have you got on at
the land-office?"
"Weli," Baid Adams, "t've nearly
made arrangements for a plot, which
they tell me is in a very rioE district,
and I am to go to-morrow morning to
settle about it."
"Told you they couldn't give you a
flnul answer becauso some one else
was after the plot !"
"Exaotly that is what they did say,"
replied Adams.
"That's what they always do say,"
said gDawson smiling. "And they
said if you would pay your deposit they
would see what they could do ?"
"Yes," said A'dams, smiling.
"And you paid it?"
"No. I had to get a letter of credit
cashed, and I was'too late.J But I am
going on'to-morrow."
"Thenll am just in time," Ts'aid
Dawson.
"In time!'' said Adams, suspiciously-
.
"Yes, in time to stop you from fool
ing away a iot of coin.Now look
here, AdaniB, drop that doubting way
of yours at once. I'm a fellow full of
fallings, but I'm genuine. I never
swindled but one man in my life, and
him I have served out often, T do own
his name is Dawson, Caleb Dawson
his name is and he always took It
very kindly. And now I want to
talk to you about your plans. You
want to go fo farming?"
Adams nodded.
"To make money?"

than you've got, so I tell you.'r
Frfluk Adams felt disposed to be an
noyed ; but he was gettingaccuatom
ed to other's bluntness; and after the
late proofs he could not but believe
that hewas genuine.
"What would you do then?" said
Adams.
"Join me, ""said Dawson, rising.
"Join you?"
"Yes ; join me. Look here, Adams,
I took a fancy to you as soon as I saw
you."
"No, you did not," said Adams,
dryly.
"But I did, man I swear I did."
Look here Dawson," Bald the
young Englishman, "you Yankees
are, I dare say. sharper than we are ;
but, all the same, wo old country folk
are not quite fools. Do you really
think now that I can't 6ee through
you?"
"Well, there, I'll be honest," Baid
Dawson, "with his sun-burned face
glowing hotly. "You ore right you
do see through me; and I dou't see
why a man shouldn't speak out bold
ly about such a thing. You mean I
took a fancy first to somebody else."
Adams frowned and nodded.
"You are right, I did ; for, though
I don't believe in all that love stuff
talked about In books, I no Booner set
eyes on her than I felt that she was a
woman for whom I could go through
fire and" water ; lay down my life for
her if it was needed; be her dog, her
Blave, If she would ouly give mo a
kind look now and then ; and Say,
Adams," he said after a pause, "what
fool3 we men are !"
Adams did.uot answer, but sat look
ing surly and frowning
"Well," coritlnued Dawson, "then
I saw you ; and I said to myself, 'Ono
man can do a deal, but with a mate
like that whom ho could trust thro'
thick and thin in getting money and
guarding it, share and share alike in
facing dangers together, in a fight per
haps for life what a deal more he
could do!' and I said to myself 'I'll
see if I can't know him;' and here
we are."
Adams nodded again, but ho did
not speak. .
"Now look here," said Dawson ; "I
want a friend and companion for
what I am going to do. I did mean
to start, and do It with my man ; but
now Task you to join me."
"And where are you going?" said
Adams quietly.
"Bight up into the mountains,. far
away from the ordinary tracks, to
where the mineral riches of the earth
are waiting for a bold hand to be
stretched out to grasp them, and en
rich himself and those who belong to
him, for life. Come with me, English
man, and you shall be rich. We'll
I cla'sp hands together and swear to bo
true through thick. and thin, to fight
one for the other, if needs be, and
share all that we drag away from
where it has Iain hid from tho begin
ding of the world."
"sAnd where may this be?" said
Adams camly,as compared to the oth

"Away, I
tell you, in tho moun
tains."
"Bather a cruel thing to take those
two sweet women fay away into so
wild a region," said Adams.
Dawson started and smiled, as ho
thought of his own words.
Not with lis to act as their guards,"
he said, earnestly. "Adams, man, it
would be for their sakes if wo did it
at all ; and the journey there should
be like a pleasure trip we could be
travelers, with our mules laden with
provisions, and without need to hur
ry. It is no trifle I offer to you."
"Perhaps not," said Adams ; "but
it sounds visionary and strange."
"More so than to go miles away to

the floods wash it away, or the locusts
devour It as soon as it is green. Man
man, I tell you that this Is not your
own old land, where the seasons come
and go like olook-work, in a quiet old
effete way. This country Is grand,
and one where naturedoesnothlng by
halves. The sun shines as Jit never
shines with you ; and when it rains
It rains in floods. Bah! let your
farming go ; what could you ever do
with your patch but plod along and
barely exist?"
"And what should I do with you?"
Eaid Adams.
"Look here said theother, lowering
his voice; "if I asked you, Frank
Adams, to go on a wild hunt up In
those mighty regions, I should say
that you were wise to refuse ; but I
tell you, man, that I have definite in
formation ofa valley where the silver
.crops out of tho rock in great veins
and blocks a place where for many
years tho foot of man has not trod.
In fact, it was discovered fifty years
sinco by a band of explorers who, af
ter making sure that they were right,
and that thi3 was not some Aladin's
dream marked down tho Bpot ; took
bearings and measurements, and then
started for civilization, gto ".get mules
and packs, and apparatus to smelt and
melt down thelrtreasure."
"Well," said Adams, growing in
terested, for the other had stopped.
"But one man of that party escaped,
the rest being cut off by tho Indians,
and ho led a life of slavery for full
twenty years. Then ho'escaped to re

The slow, drawling cway,!the hesi

habit, allwere gone ; and Cole'b Daw

"A dream !" exclaimed Dawson.
"Yes, the day-dream of some mad
enthusiastwho had'gono crazy on
his one idea."
"The man was as sane ad you are

you are hesitating to !accept a large
fortune whioh I place before you, say
ing, 'Here take this for your share.

He stopped short, after speaking el
oquently and vell, apparently asham
ed of his earuestness,;forhe subsided
at once into a regular drawl, and said,
"I reckon you Englishers have as
much goin you as a watch without a
mainspring."
"It's a habit we have, friend Caleb
Dawson, of looking before we leap."
"Good plan enoughsometimes, but
fa-ta? when an Indian's after you
with his scalpiug-Iron. Best to leap
then look afterward."
"And.do you thoroughlyibolieve in
all this?" eaid Adams, after sitting
back thoughtfully for a time.
"Believe in it? 'There, man alive,

Frank Adams sat back watching

while the other seemed to throb and
glow in his excitement, aud art ou

and unimpressionable the English

till within the last few days. But
then came the other side. This man
evidently loved his Bister so much
that he had risked his life for her
sake; and in a wird, lawless land.
Buoh as the region they were about to
seek, where could he find a better
man to stand by his side, and whom

to smoke, .looking dull and disap-lts way through the soft pine wood,
polnfed. There was a feeling of an-1 foroing out one white splinter, which

Adams remained silent "every man
to hla own liking, Mr. Adams. I
must ask, though, that you will bo si

"Stop!" said Frank Adams Bharply,
and his companion stared, fo? tho
young Englishman had risen and
come forward. "I do things slowly,
Dawson, and neverlwithout consider
ation, but when I do undertake a task,
I do it to the bitter end. You have
made me a grand offer. Coming from
some men I would have said"it was a
mad speculation, and one in which
only madmen would embark; but I
believe you, and I trust you. Your
American dash Bhall go with my slow
English ballast, and God prosper us
through ltall! There's my hand and
I'm with you to the end.''
Before ho had half spokon Caleb
Dawaon" had sprung up vvith flushed
brow and flashing eyes, seized tho
young Englishman's hands In his,
and pressedthem with'a long fervent
grasp.fclooking the"while straight In
his eyes with afglance that was as full
of truth as tho Englishman's own.
But no word passed bisjlips till he re
leased thojother's hands, Bank back
in his seat, relit his oigar, and, now
that all was settled, putting sentiment
reside, ho exclaimed, in a matter-of-
fact, nasal tone,
"Let's liquor!"
His hand was stretched out to reach
the bell, when hej stopped .short and
listened. Then he started up quick,
but without a sound.
"What was that?" ho said In a
whlsperrJvnd bO'Cloaked -thB'Whisper,

lon.
"That noise," he whispered, begln
ing to whistle.
"I heard nothing," said Frank.
"But I did," whispered Dawson,
and ho set his teeth and held up his
finger to command silenoe.
Tho next momeut he leaned over to
Frank, and whispered,-
"These walls are liko so muoh
pasteboard. Tho hotel is.only wood
from top to bottom ; and I have been
chattering liko a magpie about our
projects, with some one playing, the
spy. Adams.old fellow, tho game has
begun ; ours Is to bo a time of trouble,
I'm afraid brain "against brain, hand
against hand ; so hore goes." Then
making a sign to his friend, he whis
pered, "Answer me aloud,ond make
the answer long. By-the-way, Ad
ams," he said, "before I ring' for the
waiter, run over your list of paokages.
Tell mo what you brought with you."
Dawson rattled the match-box as ho
spoke, struok a JUght, 'and kicked a
spittoon along the floor, while, taking
the cue from his companion, and see
ing his aim, Frank began to go over the
list of agricultural tools ho had bought
what-seeds he had obtained, and men
tioned how the wero packed, speak
ing in a quiet, deliberate way, as he
watched hiB compauian's motions.
The room thoy were In was of pan
eled pine, and'very slight. It was
plain enough to both of them now
that any?one wishingitolisten to their
conversation might have heard the
greater part by holding his ear to a
crack, and have seen them merely by
thrusting'Ia knife-blade through the
panel of tho partition or door, nnd,
what was more, they had the window
wide open all the time. They both
asked themselves how they could
have beenEguilty of such folly, now it
was too late and the question arose
how far it could be counteracted.
Dawson was right thero could be
no doubt about thai. Tho firs't thing
to bo done was to find out who was
the spy, if spy there was; for he
might be merely a prying knave, and
no enemy, andjif so, their fears were
wasted; but on the other hand, they
might havejbeen followed to tho ho
tel by ono of the scoundrels with
whom they had come in contact, aud
ip such a publlo place thero would be
no difficulty In such an emissary find
ing bis way up ;to the door of their
room.
Moving silently, while Frank kept
speaking, Dawson crept along by the
partitiou, carefully avoiding the
choirs, so as to get round to the door,
for it was from there that a faint creek
or two bad come, and at tho end of a
minute Frank became aware that
there was more in Dawson's words
tbad.ho had himself anticipated, for
there was a faint rasping sound com
ing very softly but unmistakably from
one panel about breast high, and
Frank knew 83 well as possible that
some ono was busy "with a gimlet
boring a hole cautiously through the
door, possibly that the actor mlghtob
tain a view of tlioso within.
It was hard, work, to keep

ing In a calm, unconcerned way at
euoh a time, especially with the
knowledge that ono is being watched,
perhaps by more than ono eye, and
that the object of the hole made in the
door may be to enable tho scoundrel
without to take a good aim at the per
son within before taking revenge for
injuries received by Bending a winged
messenger made of lead.
But Frank kept it up admirably,

aroused, whoever it was that was busy
there would have performed hi3 task
uninterruptedly, whatever might
have been his aim.
And now, aa Dawson stood with
one hand outstretched, eo qb to be
within an inch of tho handle and
drajr tho door open, the gimlet was
withdrawn, and tho talking on the
part of Adams became one whose
difficulties were extreme : but his
voio did not fall, and he kept his eyes
fixed in another direction, knowing
that he was watohed. and feeling at
the some time an almost unconquer
able desire to turn and see the- next
proceeding on the part of Dawson.
But the suspense was not of long
duration ; for as Dawson's hand was
justjabout toclose upon the handle,
and ho had gathered himself up, so
that by ono rapid motion ho could

effectually prevented all retrograde
motion. Thero was a volley of oaths,
the sound of blows.3 and Frank Ad-

is the anxious inquiry of everybody.
We are in possession of facts that will
be an answer probably the record of
the spring of 18(, succeeding the lost
invasion.
Colonel Theo. S. Case has been for
many years In tho habit of keeping a
diary of events, and yesterday we had
the satisfaction of looking over his
memoranda, and In them found nil
about their doings in that spring and
summer. Colonel Case was then liv
ing wherp he now resides, near the
cemetery between this oity and West
port, and the entries made have ref
erence to our own grounds. The rec
ord is as follows :
May 8, 18G7. Saw several swarmB
of young grasshoppers. Said to benu
merbus in vicinity.
May 20. Saw many hundreds of
minute grasshoppers. Have done no
harm as yet.
May 26. Grasshoppers growing a
little, and eating the weeds.
Juue 1. Grasshoppers thlok.
June 2. Very numerous. Just' bo
ginning to reaoh tho garden. Done
no harm yet. Captured 350 on one
small weed.
June 3. Grasshoppers Innumera
ble. No harm done yet.
June 5. Innumerable grasshoppers
In garden. Eating cabbage lettuoei
parsley, etc.
June 6. Eating beans, cabbage,
grapes, potatoes, etc
June 7. Grasshoppers havo taken
about half the garden.
Juno 8. Havo eaten 250 oahbages,
and all the radishes and lettuce on
tho place. Also most of the beets
and onions. Have not touohed peas,
tomatoes, or corn.
Juno 9. Eating strawberries n lit
tle. Juno 11. Grasshoppers worse than
ever.
June 12. Have eaten all tho beets
and carrots in thefie!d.
Juue 13. Onions lu the garden all
gone corn and peas going fast.
June 14. Grasshoppers finish field
onions.
June 15. Grasshopper less numerous
to-day.
Juno 18. Grasshoppers searcer but
still abundant.
June 23. Thicker again. Eating
fruit tress and evergreens.
June 25. Grasshoppers beginning
to fly away very high In the air.
Juno 28. Leaving rapidly
Juue SO. Grasshoppers eating corn,
cutting down stalks one and one-half
inches in diameter. Also finishing
up tho pumpkin vines.
July 1. Have eaten replanted beans
before they wero out of the ground
flying over in vast numbers becom
ing much searcer here.
July 8. Have eaten the leaves of
most of tho pear trees also cutting
the cherry trees, but not eo badly.
July 13. Necrly all gone.
This is the lost entry in regard to
the festive insect, ttnd we may con
clude the last of him in this locality.
We thus find that from She time first
noticed in his minute form until finU
disappearance was sixty-six days.
It was twenty-tight days from the
lime of discovery before thoy com
menced destroying vegetation, or as
tho diary hos it "doing harm" nnd
thirty-eight days thereafter before
they finally disappeared. From these
data calculations may be made as to
'.vhat we may expect this year. The
young grasshopper this year was dis
covered a w ek ago, so that the brood
now out may be expected to leave
about tho middle of June, but hatch
ing is a matter of locality those on
open ground or on hill-sides with a
sonlhcrn exposure comming'first.
The spring of 1867 was backward,
as Colonel Case has a record of tho
ground being covered with snow on
tho 2d day of May.

West Thirty-fourth street, who lately
made a visit hero, told tho following
ghost stories :
Mra. Peter Compton, tho wife of an
invalid husband and mothor of sever
al children, is descended from tho old
farmersjof Havana, a weirknowrj and
uot rich, yet a respeatablo stock. A
womanof sound, uncultured intellect,
she married a carpenter,"-and on his
permanent failure in health fourteen
years;agoand their.'snbsequent desti
tution of other resources, Bhe support
ed him and their numerous childrdn
by washing the clothes and scrubbing
tho houses of their neighbors.
Two years ago Mrs, Compton was
developed into a full blown spiritual
medium of the most vonder-working
kind. Her own body ohanges Into
strangeother, andjsometimes beauti
ful bodies, according to whatoverspir
it takes possessionjof her. Sho may
be fastened to ajcabinet in any man
ner, the cords are loosened, not culor
untied, the nails are tSkenout, and a
new being walks forth, man, woman
or child, anoient eago or modern sav
age, and tho new person walkaabout,
talks, can be felt of, shaken hands
with, patte.d on the shoulder, nnd
meanwhile thero Is not to be found on
this earth the body of Mrs. Peter Com-

POSSESSED OF A DEVIL.
Dr. Newbrough procured some
shoemaker'stbread, gand the man
who was waxing tho ends" for him
said they would bo of no use, for sho

so procured nana wuttousuoaos m;
so fine that thd!ufoc&rafiird'inoh
"holdfbfwsthetdi andjil:U.tUH&ly
nailed her gown all around tha bot
tom to tho floor.
Out of tho cabinet walked a strange
and Gne lady, of different stature,
compleslonyandmanners from the
plain, tho homely washerwoman,
who, a few minutes before was nailed
to the floor in antlalpaca gown. Dr.
Newbrough rushed to the cabinet. It
was empty; his nalld were nowhere
visible, and his waxed ends had also
evaporated. Tho new lady's dress
was a brown, summery texture, that
looked as though It might have been
made on a material loom. Dr. New
brough said to the ghost: "Kind la
dy, I have a'palr'of remarkably sharp
solssors In my, pocket. Will you ob
lige meby fallowing me to clip a sou
venir from you lobo?" The beau ti-
Lful being smiled on him graciously,
but answered:
"NOTHINO TO WEAR."
"My medium has but one gown. If
you cut a piece out thero will, be a.
hole In it, and shoj.will bo entirely
destitute."- ,
"But," porsfsted tho doctor, "I will
see that she has money to buy anoth
er gown."
"Ah, myjdearslr," sadly answered
tho beautiful spirit, "perhaps you
would, but I do not know It. For Mr
Storerand Mr. Olcutt of Boston were
here, and they both and many others,
said they would do something to re
lieve the poverty of our medium, but
they have not, and I cannot let you
out a piece out and make a hole in
her only gown."
After the beautiful lady stepped
away, and after a six-foot tall ghost
had como and gone, and no more
gho3ts would bo evoked, Dr. New
brough again inspected the cabinet.
There sat the homely anfl motherly
Mrs. Compton, with' tho waxed ends
all rigidly fast, a:d ,her alpaca dress,
nailed to the floor again, tho fino litn
tie nails being with almost perfect ex
actness driven into tbo holes- they
had previously occupied.
Mrs. Compton has lately been as
sisted by the overseer of the poor of
tho county, for these changes to
which her body has been subject dur
ing two years have ruined her health
and in addition to being unable to
work, tho reputation of being possess
ed by spirits, has de.prived her of her
former employers. The people of tho
town say nothing against her except
that she is a sorceress. The little chil
dren had mended th-eir clothes with
yarn and with twine or with whatev
er they could get. A mortgage on
their house, addnd to other obliga
tions, narrated them with debts am
ounting to nearly $000, and the pros
pect of the county poor-house for a
more permanent home.
Dr. Newbrough announced that be
raised $120 for the poor family before
he left Havana, and from the spiritu
alist meeting yesterday morning in
Republican Hall, $52. Ono of his?'
hearers asked him whether tho pers
ons in Havana who contributed the
$120 were infidels, spiritualises, or
christians. Ho answered that two
wero infidels, one spiritoalist, aud:
himself. Three or four ladles passed
through the 'audience and collected
$Q2. Money has been now raised tot
nearly the amount of Mrs Compton'.
