H. We have, by committee, ex
amined all 'the various offices of the
-county, and report thereon as fol
lows: We find the seve.al offices in
good condition an-d the bonds of the

-cure the necessary funds to retire
this obligation at a low rate of in.
terest.

officers of the Court for the assist

The other lool, on1 1 owntiown

along the sunny walk after their
trips to nearbl)y "qlick Iinches,"'
there was a little scene enacted
which illustrates vividlv the atti
tude of "live and let live which is
the mark current of the ordinary
New Yorker.
A :.oung, smooth faced, sharp
eyed chap climbed up on an empty
box where the crowd of idlers fromi
the shops and offices was thickest
and began in a perfectly calm way
to harangue those who would stop
to listen to him. lie gathered a
number to him with his first few
sentences:
10 "My friends, I ask you to pause
for a moment and listen to my nar
b rative. I am a poor but honest man.
10 My motto is 'Excelsior,' with accent
e on the second syllable. My parents
w are dead, and I am a lone orphan.

He jumped down from the box,
gravely passed his hat around, pay
ing no attention to the claff ad
d dressed to him, and actually col
lected a score or more of nickels.

He turned another andl another, and
then remounted the box and again
saddressed the crowd:

a said, but I cannot do it. Thanking
ab you one and all; I remain yours

FEAR OF GHOSTS.
Harmless Visitors From Whom We All
Shrink In Terror.

will dare to walk iione through a
graveyard In the night, or if one be
found 4o hold( he will surely hasten his
footsteps, unable wholly to subdue the
fear of sheeted speetem.4 which may
rise front the grass grown graves or
emerge friom moonlit tombs and follow
on, for, strangely enough, the dead, it
not actually hostile to the living, are
esteemed dangerous and dreadful to
encounter.
It used to be the fashion, says a writ
er in Lippincott's Magazine, to sweep
away all such notions by saying that.
they had their origin In the childhood
of the race and that they sprang from
fear of the unknown. This unques
tionably was the easidst way to dis
pose of them, but was it fair? The
subject possesses Intense Interest for a
great majority of mankind, and, though
the existence of ghosts is unproved,
there is undeniably a vast deal of tes
timony in their behalf that deserves
serious and respectful consideration.
Fortunately, within the last few years
the attitude of science toward the
problem has altogetkier changed, and.
actuated by a now spirit of inquiry, the'
wise men have been engaged, thought.
fully dnd without prejudice, in studyi
ing it out.
While it-cannot be said that any Anal
and definite conclusions have as yet
been reached, an immense amount of
evidence has been sifted, enough to
show pretty conclusively for one poltit
that the traditional specter of the Cock
Lane school, with clanking chain and.
attributes disagreeably suggestive of
the grave, has no basis In fact. On the
other hand, tpiere are certain phantoms,
altogether different in their character
isties, in whose behalf a mass of testi
maony Is adduced far greater than
wo~uld be requIred to establish .com
plete proof in any ordinary case In a
couirt of law. Nothing short of abso
iite demonstration In such a matter
cirn be satisfactory, but the evidence
in questIon certainly staggers incre
dulity.
Our fear of phantoms. appears to
spring from a dread of the unknown,
tihe mysterlous andl the intangIble.
That It is a groundless terror Is proved
by the fact that in many thousandsq of
cases of alleged spectral appearances
subjected during the last few years to
palinstakinig Investigation not a single
instance has been found In which an
injury was infieted by the ghost upon
tihe person~ or persons to whom it pre
senited -ltself. So that, even If we are
to accep~t ap~paritionls as v'eritable, we
ought to regard them with curiosity
rathetr than with apprehension, and in
stead( of trylug to avoid such supernat
ural vIsitors we should eagerly seek an
Opportunlity to be haunted for tihe sake
of observing for Ourselves phenomena
so Intensely interesting.
