It was between the lights on a gloomy December afternoon. I was the one oc? cupant of the smoking room of a "Lit? erary and Artistic Club" which faces the Thames. I flung fresh coal on the gloomy, embers,-and stirred them till tbey sent up a blaze of light that drove the ghosts out of t'ia shadowy corners, and then' picked up a paper haphazard from the table, to dawdle over it till the waiter lighted the gas, or some human being wandered in to keep me company. It was an American paper. Some visitor to the club bad left it behind him accident? ally. I turned the pages listlessly, until suddenly my attention was arrested by a paragraph headed "Extraordinary Crime." It was the story of the robbery of i? body of a lady from its grave. The whole affair was shrouded in mystery. On the 14th of the month there died in an American city the beautiful wife of an Englishman traveling for pleasure.. In the same paper which contained this T^ragraph I found the heading of "Cradle, Altar, Tomb," the fo'lowing: "On the 14th Instant, in this city, Drn silla, the beloved wife of Blissett Elmer ton, of London, England, aged twenty lour." In dne course the poor lady was buried, and during the night the church? yard-was entered and the coffin carried away. No motive is suggested in this American paper for the crime. The hus? band is interviewed at his hotel. He is inconsolable for the loss of his beautiful young wife?mad . with mingled rage and horror at the desecration of b? remains. He tells his story to the reporter. He had. only been married a few months. They were travelling for pleasure in America. His poor wife caught a cold a fortnight since, returning from the thea? ter. He had medical advice, but the cold increased and inflammation of the lungs set in and soon all. was over. He buries his head in his hand and weeps, and the reporter leaves him alone with his sacred sorrow. The account in the paper I was reading by the firelight con? cluded thus: "Up to the present no clue to this mysteriot.s affair has been obtain? ed." I glanced at the date of the paper, and flung it down in disgust. It -was two years old. I had grown interested in the affair, and here it was two years old al? ready, and probably forgotten. Where should I find out how it ended ? The shadows had grown darker and darker; the fitful glare of the fire had died'down into a dull red glow, and the riverside lamps were being lighted. I iung myself back into the easy chair, ?thrust my hands into my pcrkets, and half closed my eyes. Suddenly I was aware that I was. not alone in the room. From the darkest corner there was a long figure. It glided slowly toward me. I had placed the-paper where I found it, on the table by my side. The figure seemed to be looking for something. It passed Its hands over the tables and peer? ed down among the papers. Presently it came to the table at my elbow. In the gloom, as 1 sat in the deep armchair, I be? lieve I was almost invisible. The figure came right up to me, and, reaching out his hand, passed it over my table. Pres? ently it seized something, and glided away with it to the window, on which the lamps without flung a flicker of light. Then I saw that it was a man, and that in his hand he held the American paper in which I had just read the account of a mysterious crime. He glanced at it, and muttered something that sounded like "How careless of me 1" then folded the paper, thrust it into his breast pocket, and walked out of the room. Hardly bad the door been closed behind him when the attendant came in with lights. "Whois that gentleman who has just gone out?" I said. "Don't know his name, sir. Ain't seen him here often." ' I remembered that at this club every member had to sign his name in a daily book kept in the hall for that purpose. I ran down stairs and looked at the open leaf to see if that would afford me any clue. The first name that caught my eye was* that of Blissett Emerton. No wonder the figure I had seen in the darkness had been so anxious to find that paper. I saw at once what had happen? ed. He had been in the room reading, fancying himself alone. He had laid the paper down thoughtlessly and dropped off to sleep. I had not noticed him in the gloom, and he was quite unaware of my 'presence. One thing more I did before I left. I turned over the members' address book, and looked under the E's. There I found the name of "Blissett Emerton," and against it "No. 7 Blank Court, Tem? ple." Soon afterwards I found time to dine at the club, and there I met an old friend of mine, a barrister, whom I had not seen for a year, who after dinner, invited me to come to his chambers, for an hour. "Still in your old diggings, then," I said. "Oh, no," he answered. "I've moved since I saw you last into another set. I've got capital chambers at No. 7 Blank Court/ I asked him at once if he knew Mr. Emerton. "Only by sight," he answered. "He has chambers on the same floor, and we pass on the landing. We never speak." I stayed longer than I meant to, and it was striking ten as we came-out on the landing.. The outer door of Mr. Emerton's chamber was ajar. As we passed, the inner door opened, and a man rushed out with a scared, white face. It was Blissett Emerton! "Help!" he cried, tearing at his collar an though it choked him. "Help! help." Then there was a strange gurgling noise in bis throat, and he fell forward in a fit. I dragged him into bis chambers, which were in total darkness, and laid him on the floor, bidding my friend run for a doctor at once. The man babbled in his frenzy: "The face," he cried, "the face-it was her face?there in the court below! Look between the trees!" I looked oat into the court. The moom was up, and among the trees near the fountain I cor Id see the figure of a woman. She was in' deep black, as pres? ently she stood where the trunk of the tree threw her white face into relief, I could see that she was looking towards the window. Probably she mistook my figure blotted against the window for that ot Emerton's, for as I looked she raised her arms with a strange menacing ges? ture and pointed at me. Then she glided in among the trees and was lost to sight. The doctor came, examined Emerton, and prescribed for him. "He's had a violent fright," he said, "but he'll be all right by and by. It's more hysterical than anything else. Where are his friends?" If I wanted to learn something of this man's strange story, what could I wish for better than a night alone with him. The doctor gave mc certain directions and left. We had carried Emerton to his bed room and put him on the bed. Seeing he was still, I went into the front room, piled op the fire, put on the kettle, found some whiskey, lit my pipe, and prepared for the night I h ad j us t turned the burn? er down when I became aware of a soft j I grating sound at the outer door. Some one was softly opening the outer door with a key. The gas was low down. Hurriedly I picked up my overcoat and other traces of my presence and flung them ander the large couch at the end of the room. It was an old-fashioned sofa with a hanging valance which reached to the ground. I then crept underneath, and waited for the curtain to rise on the dra? ma. I had hardly got into a safe posi? tion when the outer door yielded and I heard a step in the passage that inter? vened. Then the outer door was gently closed, and I expected to see the inner door opened in its turn and tome one en? ter. The minutes'wenl by, and no one came. Whoever it might be was in tbe passage. I could hear a slight move? ment every now and then, and the rustle of a woman's dress. It must have been Suite ten minutes since I heard the outer oor opened when I noticed that the in? ner door was swinging noiselessly back on its hinges, and something was gliding into the room. Slowly it moved across the floor till it stood right in tbe dim light of the turned-down gas. I shall never forget the terrible sight that met my eyes. I would have scream? ed bnt my tongue remained glued to my mouth. I was looking at a dead woman risen from the grave. Her face had been beautifnl in life; now it was ashen gray. The eyes were sunken in their sockets, and her lips were pale and col? orless. The figure was draped in a long white shroud, and I fancied tbe room was heavy with the awful odor of an open grave. Slowly the phantom moved toward the next room, and glided in. For a moment all was still. Then came a faint cry. Tbe man was awake, and alone with the apparition. "Drusilla!" he shrieked. "Mercy! Mercy! Have mercy 1" I heard a hollow voice answer him, -"Rise and follow me." "What would you have with me?" "Confess." "What shall I confess?" answered the wretched man, bis voice trembling in an agony of fear. "Confess tbe foul wrong you did me. Confess where my poor body lies, that it may be buried in holy ground." Again the man's trembling voice wail? ed cut: "I will coufess all." "Follow me." The apparition glided from the inner room, and the man followed her. ' "Write!" The dead woman pointed to tbe table where tbe pen and ink were, and tbe man obeyed her jestures mechanically.' "Write all." I could see from a rent in the valance tbe whole scene. The man white wjth terror, the beads of cold perspiration on bis brow, sat and wrote. The apparition glided behind him aud looked over his shoulder. Once he paused in bis task. "Write all," said the white figure. And again tbe man wrote. The figure then grasped the paper with its waxen fingers. "Go!" it said, pointing to the inner room. With his eyes fixed upon its livid face, the man backed slowly for some paces. With a violent effort and a little scream, he seized the door, swung it to, and bolt? ed it on the inside. Then, for the first time, tbe dead wo? man trembled. She seemed strangely nervous and agi? tated now. She clasped the paper close? ly, then put it in her bosom and glided from the room. I had got over the sudden terror in? spired by such a strange sight, and had made up my mind that I had detected some terrible imposture. .There was a slight-pause in tbe lobby, and tbe noise of a garment being drawn off, then tbe outer door opened and tbe visitant passed out on the staircase. I followed as quietly as I could. Tbe I staircase was lighted with gas. As I trod [ on the second landing the ghost heard the noise and looked up. She was dressed in an ordinary black costume now, and her face was a natural color. To my in? tense surprise, she neither screamed nor [ attempted to run away. She stood still and beckoned me to her side. "What are you going to do 7" she said. "To give you into custody." "Are you a friend of his?" I answered "Yes," mechanically. "Then let me go free if yon value his life." "If I let you go free I am your accom? plice,"! murmured; "youraccomplice in some vile imposture." "No. If you are my accomplice to? night you are an accomplice in tbe holiest deed a woman ever wrought. Pass me through tbe gates if you doubt me; watch me: foil low me home; give me into custody if you like ; I don't care, I've got what I wanted." I took her arm as though I bad been a policeman, and said: ''Pass through the gate then, and if you attempt to get away from me I shall call for help." I' She nodded to the proposition. The man at the gate was half asleep. I roused him, and from his box pulled the cord aud let us pass through the wicket door into the Strand. I then listened to tbe strangest story that ever mortal lips bad uttered, and there was no doubt that every word of it was true. Tbe confession which tbe trembling wretch had written at her dictation?as he believed at tbe dictation of his dead wife?I bad read. It was a plain statement of bow he had poisoned the poor girl whom be had wedded in a fit of mad jealousy, and how he had concealed bis crime; how at tbe last moment be bad overheard a whisper that some one suspected foul play; and how, fearing tbe body might be exhumed, be had, with assistance of an accomplice, since dead, stolen the body that night and re-buried it in the garden of a house in a lonely part of the American town where this accomplice lived. This woman was bis wife's sister and she had suspected foul play from the first. She was an acr,ress, and was away on a provincial tour when Blisset Emerton wooed and won Drusilla and took her abroad with him. Emerton bad never seen this sister. The marriage had been secret and hurried, and he had seemed strangely anxious to leavo the country. They were to be back in five months. 1 Drusilla?poor trusting fool?idolized : the man and obeyed him. To her he wa3 a knight without reproach. But soon bis conduct to her altered strangely, and she began to suspect that all was not right. He grew cold and cruel, and she was miserable and unbap py She wrote secretly to her sister, told her troubles and how quickly her husband's conduct bad altered. The Bister urged her to leave him and come home. She was expecting her to do so when there came the news of her illness and death, and then of the mysterious disappearance of the body. From thai, moment Drusilla Emerton's sister made up her mind to fathom the mystery and bring the guilt home to tbe murderer. She refused to accept tbe explanation of her sister's death. She believed Blisset Emerton to be quite capable of carrying out a care? fully matured plan to get rid of her. Tbe disappearance of the body strength? ened her suspicions. She concluded at once that he feared the corpse might af ! terwards be exhumed, and as it turned S out her suspicions were correct. When some time afterwards he arrived in En? gland, she commenced to put her plans into execution. She would terrify his Beeret from hiin. I have said she was an actress by profession. She was also an exact counterpart in height and feature of her dead sister. When Emerton went to live in cham? bers, she managed by a clever artifice to get a duplicate set of keys. Tbe place is open night and day, and rs there are only one or two men in residence, it is easy to choose a time to step up the stairs unnoticed. By getting in to the inclosure before twelve, one would not even be seen by the gate porter. The plan which occurred to the mur? dered woman's sister had been put into execution for the first time that night. Early in the evening she had let him see her face among the trees. I had been an unsuspected witness of the success of her appearance as one from the dead. AH this was told at the trial in Ameri? ca. He was extradited and I went over as a witness. But not even on the scaf? fold would he tell where reposed the re? mains of his victim. The avenging sister is now a member of Mr.-'s dramat? ic company and the story, although well known in the States, is now, perhaps, known for the first time in England. Devilish Doings of Nihilist Propagan? dist? in Spain. A Bpecial from Paris gives the details in regard to the strikes and riots in Bar? celona. It seems that some operatives, who were incensed againstothers for hav? ing accepted a reduction of wages in a woolen factory, mustered over a thousand strong before the works, and ordered their fellow-workmen to leave and join the strike. Meeting with a refusal, they entered the factory, drove the men out, destroyed the looms and other machinery, and finally set fire to the building in sev? eral places. When they were preparing to visit other establishments for the purpose of carrying out a similar programme, the civil authorities attempted to interfere, but were powerless to suppress the dis? order. The crowd constantly increased until finally it assumed most formidable proportions. The alarm speedily spread to the workmen of all other shop3, who immediately .closed operations, and left their benches. The military and moun? ted gendarmes were called out, and as soon as they appeared the operatives sep? arated into angry and hostile groups, but no resistance was- offered. Upwards of fifty of the ringleaders in the riots were arrested. Meanwhile the fire engines were hard at work endeavoring to arrest the progress of the flames in the burning factory. The striking workmen were so threat? ening in their demonstrations that it was found necessary to protect firemen and station the military in the streets, avenues and roads, so as to prevent the operatives of the suburbs from joining those of the city. The Governor of Barcelona and the military authorities report that all is ?uiet. Numerous arrests have been made, t is learned that the workmen were ex? cited by revolutionary agents and Social? ist propagandists. By order of the gov? ernment all unions and workiogmen's as? sociations have been dissolved. Colored Justice.?Several days ago a white man was arraigned before a colored justice, down the country, on the charge of killing a man and stealing a mule.' ?? "Wall," said the justice, "de facks in dis case shall be weighed wid carefulness, aud, ef I bangs yer taint no fault of mine.'' "Judge, you have no jurisdiction only to examine me." "Dat sorter work 'long ter de ragilar justice, but yer see I'm been put on as a special. A special has de right ter make a monf at de Supreme Court ef he chuses ter." "Do the very best you can for me, Judge." "Dat's what I'se gwine to do. I'se got two kinds ob law in dis court, de Arkan? sas and de Texas law. I ginerally gins a man de rieht tochuso fur hisself. Now, whot law does yer prefur de moas, de Texas or de Arkansas?" "I believe I will take the Arkansas law." "Wall, in dat case I'll dismiss you from stealin' de mule?" "Thank you, Judge." "And then hang you fur killin' de man?" "I believe, Judge, that I'll take the Texas." "Wall, in dat case I'll dismiss yer for killin' de man?" "YouTiave a good, generous- heart, Judge." "And hang yer fur stealin' de mule. I'll just take de'casion heah ter remark dat de only difference 'tween de two laws is de way you state de case." Value of Swamp Muck.?Some time ago we remarked that an acre of swamp muck of good quality, three feet deep, was actually worth $25,000. No doubt such a statement is surprising. So was the statement of Dr. LaweR, of En? gland, that a ton of bran fed to cows, re? turned more than its. cost in manure. Swamp muck, free from sand, contains 2 per cent., or forty pounds of nitrogen in a ton. Nitrogen is worth in the market twenty-five cents a pound; so that a ton' of swamp muck is actually worth ?10 for the nitrogen in it. All that is needed is to work up the muck, to make the nitrogen I available. An acre of swamp muck three feet deep contains 2,500 tons, and would require eight months to draw out, at ten loads a day. Few persons realize the value of the fertilizing elements of com? mon waste matters which lie under their feet, and the innumerahb tons of matter that may be available fc: fertilizing pur? poses, and that much of the idle and neglected materials represent a vast amount of wealth.?American AgricuItur alitt for April. ? The deaths by starvation are to be much more frequent in Western Persia during the next two months than in Ire? land, and it is said that 40,000 Persians will perish before the next harvest un? less they are provided with food by charity. Sympathy for Ireland has un? doubtedly attracted from the Persian famine the attention it would otherwise have received, and the remoteness of the the Pagan sufferers has deprived them of much of the relief they would have en? joyed were their country more intimately associated with the nations most noted for benevolence. The devastations of want is now so dreadful that the bene? factions of Christian nations are likely to flow freely into Persia, and every con? sideration of humanity urges their con? tinuance until the new harvest termi? nates the distress of the sufferers. As Pagan China has surprised the world by contributing for the relief of the victims of calamity in Christians lands, the na? tions which boast the enlightenment of a Christian civilization will discredit that civilization unless they generously re? spond to the cry of the Pagans of Persia. . - ? m - ? There is a firm in Vicksburg, Mies., whose very existence gives the lie to the absurd stories circulated North of op? pression of the colored people in South? ern States. The firm referred to is that of Montgomery & Sons, composed of a father and two sons, who before the war were slaves on the plantation of Mr. Joseph Davis, brother of Hon. Jefferson Davis. These men, at the close of the war, purchased a few bales of cotton which they sold at a heavy advance. With the capital thus obtained ibey purchased a plantation of 1,500 acres, for $75,000 on time, of which amount they have thus far paid about two-thirds. They are also the lessees of the plantations of their old master and his brother, Jefferson Davis, for which they pay ?7,500 per annum rent. The firm employ 1,000 hands, and the sons are well educated men of unusual capacity, and are respected by all who come in contact with them. So far as fenown they have never had to complain of "intimdation" or "ostracism" of any sort.?Baltimore Gazette. You can not expect your children to thrive when they are being destroyed by worms.

Soak it in cold water with a handful or two of ashes thrown in for twenty-four hours; pick off the feathers and let it hang for twenty-four hours longer. Then let it boil for a quarter of an hour in water; take out, lard and bake it; when nearly done baste with hot butter. By this method the flavor of a young chicken may be imparted to an old fowl. Poultry of all kinds requires thorough cookiug, as when underdone it is tasteless. A turkey weighing eight pounds should be baked three hours and basted every ten or fifteen minutes with its own drippings and with melted butter. If proper care is taken in dressing poultry it will uot need washing. A wet cloth may I. used to wipe it clean if necessary, but soaking it in water takes out the flavor. Young f>oultry may be known by having smooth egs and supple feet. If the legs are rough and the feet are stiff, the poultry is old or stale. Angel Pudding. ?Two ounces of flour, two ounces of powdered sugar, two ounces of butter melted in half a pint of new milk, two eggs; mix well. Bake in small patty pans until nicely browned, and send to table on a dish covered with a serviette. A little powdered sugar should be sifted over each pudding, and slices of lemon served with them. The eggs must be well beaten before they are added to the other ingredients.

Bob Ingersoll, the blasphemer, who goes about the country lecturing against Christianity, sometimes says sensible things, not against religion, but against the practice of it as carried on by some. In a recent lecture in New York he said: "Did you ever know of a Christian un? loading oc accouut of tbe passage about the camel going through the eye of a needle? Do they not rather think that by a tight squeeze the camel could go through? There are Christians in this city, with millions, passing every day houses where mothers want bread. They expect to meet those mothers in heaven and sit side by side with endless ages ofjoy and when they go down to death with five or ten millions, they launch out five per cent, to establish a theological sem? inary as a sort of compromise with God." ?

During the month of May 53,497 immigrants arrived at Castle Garden.
