Is the marvelous secret of death— To live without life, and to breathe without breath. -Lucius K. Foote. THEY SAW THE (JH0S1 Nearly every city, town or village it. our country that is old enough to have i history has its haunted hot e and its story of ghostly visitants and eerie, un canny sounds and sights connected witt some particular locality. To this rule Florence, Ala., many 01 whose older residences and families datt back to tlie days of Andrew Jackson, forms no exception. Around several oi the ivy clad mansions of the old towi hang mysteries which make them objects of interest to the educated whites and ol terror to the ignorant and superstitious negroes. Humanity in every age has been eaget to listen to the marvelous and fo swal low the incredible upon very slight guar antee. However, it is upon no such slen der testimony that our story rests. Early in the history of the town amonq the tirst attracted to the locality by the picturesque beauty of its location above the swift flowing Tennessee was a Norti Carolinian named Richard Hunter. Wealth in those days was counted ii, the south by the acreage of plantations and by the number of slaves, male and female. Of the former Richard Kuntei possessed enough for a barony and of tile latter a small regiment. Around tne great square brick house with its massive pillars and widow read ing porches, could be seen bright and happy black faces by the score. Tilt cottou fields resouu ,ed to the hoeing songs of well conditioned and swart ay fieldhands, while in the "quarters" not far oil pickaninnies and dogs abounded. Richard Hunter had but one child, the sole heiress of his acres and his wealth and she had just budded under the warm glances of a southern sun into woman hood, fresh and blooming as a wild rose. Alice limiter was in that period oi life where the present is so uriglit that its glow reaches out and dominates the future Wealth, doting parents, gratifi cation of ever}' wish were hers; but above all she had won the love of the man oi her choice and was happiest in the knowl edge that Philip Marston’s dearest hope and highest aspire.! ma centered in herself Phil Marston, as he was known tc every one, or "Mu. i hil," as tne negroe. called him, was young, handsome, free handed, free hearted, gallant and all that went to make him an ideal lover. In spite of strong rivalry he had won his ladylove, and the day was set fo: their marriage. Alice was only 17. and so the wedding day was postponed until the following year. Suddenly in 1836 the Cherokee wai broke out. Philip Marston raised a com pany of riflemen from among the hearty yeomanry of the section and joined the command of his friend and neighbor. General Colfee. Throughout the sharp and decisive campaign that followed Marston bore a conspicuous part for gallantry until the final battle on the banks of the Coosa. Hemmed in upon a peninsula, hounded, all but a narrow neck of land, by swol len waters of the rivers, the chiefs and bravest warriors of the Cherokees made their last und desperate stand. Leading his riflemen to a charge. Philip Marston fell, mortally wounded. bad news travels quickly. It was od a night of furious wind and rain that a hunting shirted rifleman brought the tidings of Philip Marston's death to the Hunter mansion. Suddenly the great bronze knocker od the door pealed out its summons, and Alice, thinking that none but a lovei would brave the tempest and darkness, flew to greet him. In silence and with bowed head the hardy pioneer pointed to the riderless steed which he led and extended to her a scrap of paper on which her dying lovei had traced a few words of farewell. Pale, calm, tearless, the ghost of her self, she watched the rude but loving mourners bear him to a chamber in the house and lay him as if asleep upon a couch. Day by day she faded like a lily that is denied moisture, and within a few short weeks her spirit fled to join his in anothei world. Since then the Hunter house has had many owners and many occupants, but every year upon the anniversary of that stormy night in 18:17 the stroke of a horse’s hoofs are heard without, the old knocker clangs, footsteps sound upon the stairs, and the occupants of the south room—the 6ame in which Philip Mars ton’s body lay—receive a ghostly visit ant. Ten years ago Uie House was owneu and occupied by a family najned Thuns den, among the members of which was a nephew named William Black, a young and rising member of the bar. Early in the summer of Ujl2the Thuns dens went on their annual pilgrimage to one of the Virginia watering places, leav ing young Black the sole inmate, as, ac cording to southern custom, the servants lived in a separate building. Several (lays had gone by without in cident until the night of June 25. Black had started to go to bed, but was sud denly seized with an unaccountable lone liness and distrust of his solitary condi tion, and upon reflection recollected that this was the anniversary. Taking his liat and cane. He went in search of a fellow barrister of his own ag- and with whom he was intimate, one John T. Jones, who held forth upon the courthouse square and kept bachelor’s hall over his office. It was about J1 :J0o clock, and as beau tifully calm and clear a moonlight night «5 heart could wish when they entered the house, aud after locking the hall door went to Black's room, the south chamber. Young men make short work of toilets, so they were quickly i.i bed, and neither being sleepy Black started to tell Jones tlio story of the liannted room. He had just finished when the old cracked bell in the courthouse tower struck midnight, and as the last rever berations died away a horse’s hoof strokes could be distinctly heard upon the gravel walk wit out. Suddenly and without warning the windows commenced to rattle in their casements, and a noise resounded from the roof as if torrents of rain were de scending upon its weather beaten shin gles. Then came the clang of the old knocker upon the hail door. The noises ceased as quickly as they had begun, and all was silence. Ti.eu "tap”—"tap”—"tap"—"tap” came the unmistakable sound of foot steps upon the stairs, slowly and wearily mounting. They ceased for a second or two upon the landing outside, the door swung noiselessly open, and a figure, clearly seen in the moonlight, entered and crossed the room. • Both men lying on the bed saw it plainly and afterward described it as that of a young and beautiful girl, tall and slender, with golden curls framed round a face of marble pallor, wide open blue eyes and clothed from head to foot iu fleecy white, with a single white rose bud nestling above the ear. Advancing siowiy to one or tne win dows the figure stood a moment with clasped hands, looking wistfully out into tae night and with the full glow of the moonlight upon its upturned features. Then it turned, approached the side of the bod where Jones lay, stooped and placed a hand cold as earth itself upon his forehead. L p to tnat moment he and Black had been too frightened to move or speak, but when that icy hand was laid upon him the spell was broken. Human ua ture could endure no longer, and with a yell bo.h of them tumbled out of the other side of the bed from where the fig ure stood and bounded down the stairs. They did not go back to the Hunter house that night. In fact, it was some days before they could summon nerve enough to go in daylight and get their •clothes. Since then the night of June 25 in each year finds that room untenanted.—T. R. Gordon in Atlanta Constitution. Only Rich Men Can Re British Officers. Notwithstanding the attempts which the commander in chief has made from time to time to make the army as a pro fession less expensive, it is still quite iis costly as heretofore: consequently only the sons of the wealthy are able to adopt a military career. To begin with, there are the crammer’s fees for preparing the yoi th for the necessary examination. Then parents are required to spend hun dreds of pounds in order to support him at Sandhurst or W oolwich. and subse quently to supplement his small pay as a junior officer of about £80 to £100 per annum, for it is an indisputable fact that a subaltern cannot live in the aver age line regiment on a smaller private allowance than £80 to £100 a year. Then again, apart from all this ex pense, there is the cost of the young of ficer’s outfit, which, for the ordinary British line regiment, runs from £120 to £200, and if cash is not paid some 15 or 20 per cent more must be added to this amount. It is generally acknowledged that officers’ sons make the best officers, but if they and the sons of clergymen and other professional men of moderate means are to be enabled to adopt a mili tary career an inquiry will have to be instituted into regimental expenses and a considerable reduction made, or the army will continue to be exclusively of ficered by the sons of the rich, a practice which is universally admitted to be in advisable.—London Court Journal. What a Maverick Is. Some years ago a man named Maverick located near Austin, Tex., and went into the stock business. He had considerable money and established a large ranch, mostly of cattle. He was what might be termed a progressive man, but his ideas of progress were not suitable to his sur roundings. For instance, he concluded that branding cattle was useless—in fact, barbarous—and he determined that the redhot iron should never again be pressed against the side of an animal belonging to him. He kept his word, but he didn’t keep his cattle. This was a regular picnic for the cow boys of that locality, who of all things could never be accused of being at all scrupulous on questions of honor, es pecially when there was a steer involved in the case. Well, the cowboys picked up Maverick’s cattle wherever they could find them, and it was not long before every hoof of them was gone and he was reduced to almost poverty. Ever since that every unbranded head of cattle over 6 months of age has been called a maver ick and is regarded by the cowboy as the property of him who first finds it and sticks his brand on it.—Louisville Com mercial. family Names and Migration. Southern family names are scattered across the country below Mason and Dixon’s line from east to west in what geologists would perhaps call a drift. As the west began to be settled by peo ple from the colonial seacoast fringe, emigration tended to go in straight lines, so that the names of the Virginia sea coast appear in Kentucky, those of North Carolina in Tennessee, those of South Carolina along with Oglethorpe's cock neys in Georgia. Later the drift swept westward into Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas. In the progress names have been curiously transformed. Flemish names have lost the "van” or “de.” Huguenot names, whether Flemish or pure French, have been awkwardly Anglicized, and even English names have suffered vio lent change.—New York Sun.

The ingenuity of lawyers in making ousiness for themselves is in course of illustration in a reference case now in progress down town. An estate is in volved in the litigation. An unsuccess ful contest t; a will left some of the litigants dissatisfied. This furnished the lawyer his chance. He found that about 125 persons might be; entitled to a dip into the estate if the will could be broken. lie addressed a note to each of them, proposing to attack the will and tendering his services on a contingent arrangement. In this note he informed them that proceedings would be begun and that he would make defendants of all who did not join his movement. With the apparent necessity forced upon them of accepting his services without charge or hiring various lawyers to pro tect their interests, they flocked to him. When proceedings were started, he issued circulars of information to his clients and kept them posted on every move. This involved some trouble and expense, in which the clients were asked to assist. In this way, while receiving nothing that could be called a fee from any one. the small contributions of his j 125 clients are said to have helped the | lawyer’s bank account an average of #300 per month. As he is very indnstri- i ous and does his work earnestly his clients are glad to help him out. and while he seems to be basing uis chances of reward solely on the success of his suit he is making quite a cowforuude income.—New York Times. Sea MonHterH of Old. The krakeu was one ot tne sea mon sters of old, and if all the stories told about its wondrous size and doings are true it oversuadowed the serpent asmnch as the latter does the common garter snake. Dandelaus declares that this marine giant caused tidal waves by swal lowing a goodly part of the waters of the ocean and then belching them out again. He also makes mention of the fact that its gigantic horny beak was often mistaken for mountain peaks sud denly shoved into sight by the internal convulsions of the earth. Bishop Pon toppidan, a truthful (?) and saintly mem ber of the Copenhagen royal academy, is much more conservative in his esti mates of its size, giving it as his opinion that they were seldom found more than "the half of an Italian mile in length and not larger in diameter than the cathedral at The Hague." He also says that its body was fre quently mistaken by sailors for an island, “so that people landed upon it and were engulfed in a maelstrom of water when the creature sank to its hidden ocean den." Other authorities testify that its beak from the eyes to the point “was longer than the mainmast of a man-of war.” We'll take sea serpents in ours.— St. Louis Republic. Russian Drivers. Mme. de Ujfalvy-Bourdon, describing her travels in western Siberia, says that for a part of the way she and her hus band drove from town to town with horses hired from the Cossacks. They were fine horses and traveled with fright ful rapidity. (Generally they were un accustomed to being driven together. Only the middle one—the most docile— was harness :d before the time for start ing. The others were not brought out until the driver was on his seat. When the manager of the station pronounced the word “gatof (ready), the carriage bounded forward. The horses tore mad ly on for 15 or 20 minutes, and it was hard to tell whether they or the driver had the mastery. On the plain it was a magnificent drive. When tne horses were well started, the driver let the reins hang loose, and they kept up a fine pace. The driver had them well in hand, and there was no danger; he calmed and guided them with wonder ful skill. Honor to the Russian coach men.—Manchester Times. Difficulties of Smokers. The Turks are now a nation of smok ers, but early in the seventeenth century the priests and rulers denounced smoking as criminal, and Amurath IV ordered its punishment by death in the cruelest forms. One playful punishment con sisted in thrusting the pipes of smokers through their noses. In Russia, at the same period, the nose3 of smokers were cut off. The powers ecclesiastical were strongly opposed to the new habit, and Popes Urban VIH and Innocent X thundered in turn against the terrible vice of smoking. The papal thunders, however, proved powerless against the charms of St. Nicotine, al though there was much reason in those decrees which were directed against the custom of smoking and snuffing in church. Pope Urban excommunicated all who should be guilty of so unbecoming a practice. And later Innocent X sol emnly excommunicated all who should take snuff or tobacco in St. Peter's church at Rome.—All the Year Round. The Pillar of Safety. Before the erection of the new univer sity buildings in Jena the professors generally held their lectures in various public halls scattered all over the town. In the body of one of these halls, where the professor of theology used to hold forth, there stood a large pillar. At the close of the session the students applied to the professor for their certificates of attendance, when the latter remarked to one of the young men: “But, my dear sir. I never saw you at any of my lectures!” “Oh, Herr Professor. 1 always sat be hind the pillar.” “Strange!” was the reply ‘You are the fourth who professes to have sat regu larly behind the pillar.
