There bak been immense excitement for the past two weeks on "Meeting, about Calkoun street, caused by the uightly appeareuce of a strangely*ac ting apparition, like a woman in black. It is tall, wears no hat, ami regularly at the dead hour of night perambulates the vicinity. It is unapproachable, and regardless of the crowd that gazes at it, and the carious remarks and inquires made abouv its singular conduct, carries out its programme. Although it is but a woman lii appearance, it lias inspired sucfc fear taat no one will venture to go close to it, or endeavor at short range to discover its identity. Whom it is, and where it came from, and where it disap ? pears to tire mysteries unsolved. A prominent citizen a few da}-s ago de termined to look in its face to see if possible what it was, but he had no sooner got within good teach of it when it gave him a blow- that made him stag ger. He drew his pistol and tired away at the" object, and expected to see ? lifeless corpse on the pavement, but when the wnoke cleared away there it was, as before. This was too much for his nerves at that time of night, and he took to his heels aud made a bee line for "his home. His door being locked, he jumped the fence and fell sprawling on the.groand. He then breathed freer, but with'bated breath. About midnight there can be seen bold and intrepid men. with an arsenal of arms about them, dodging around the tree-boxes, peeping at the weired spirit?but will not venture near. Parties of a dozen or more men have nightly volunteered to solve this mysterious ghost, but uoue have been bold enough to unravel the mystery. The citizens can be seen late at night at their windows peeping out of their bowed blinds with fear and trembling, anxious ly looking for the nightly visit of this awful thing. Men, women and children, white and colored, are on tip-toe of excitement about the ghost, the citizens in the Upper Wards are gathering tosether at the street corners discus sing the ghost question, aud committees of strong armed men are being formed to patrol the quarter indicated, to see if they cannot ascertain the cause of the trouble, and allay excitement. No one has yet had the hardihood to meet the apparitiou face to face, fearing the consequences. The ghost must be captured and disposed ot in some way. If it c?mjot betalwu-by. fdtce, It must oe -overcome by strategy." Auy way will do, so long that positive results are reached. The public pulse needs relief. ?Charleston Dispatch.

Negro After Quarreling With His Wife Hangs Himself. The Newberry Observer of the 27th instant says: On Friday last Mattison Antney, colored, who has been living with Mr. N. H. Young for a year or so, about one and a half miles South of Prosperity, committed suicide by hang ing himself to a tree in the pasture. He had some trouble with his wife Fri day morning, and threatened to cut his throat with his razor. He left the house asying he was going to kill him self ; but no one thought anything more about it. He did not come home, and it being too wet to work it was thought that he had gone to hi9 father's. He was found Monday morning, and Coroner Bass held the inquest. The jury found a verdict that the deceased came to his death by hanging at his own hands. The razor was found upon Iiis person when examined. It was evident from the struggles that he endeavored to save himself after stepping off the. fence, as he was astride the fence, when found, and his face showed that he had a strug gle, as it was scratched up considerably where it had come in contact with the body of the tree. The French Princes. The French Radicals have made another effort to compass the expulsion of the Orleans princes, and this time they will probably succeed. The Cabi net is reported to be in favor of it by a j majority of one, and the Chamber is more radical than the Cabinet. The proposition is an unwise one and the1 best politicians are at present, as they | have been heretofore, opposed to in-1 creasing the popularity of a rather patri Otic family by making martyrs of its ! members. Nevertheless their claims are preposterous and intolerable and they obstinately refuse to abandon a jot of them, and the Republic is too precious : to too many people lor it to be expected i that what bears evcu a superficial resem blance to a standing meuance of it should be viewed with equanimity or even wisdom bv the masses interested in Its preservation. It is not in any dan-? ,'er, bet it is difficult to persuade French j Republicans that it is not when they observe the airs the Orleans family has riven itself lately. The Charleston Oil Mill Sold.

PEIC TO RESTORE CAPTURED PROPERTY. The Treasury Prescribing Kules lor the Guidance-of Claimant*. Washington, May 24.?A few weeks ago Congress passed a bill which has already beeu noticed in these dis patches, authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to restore to their rightful own ers certain property captured during the war and now on deposit in the vaults of the Treasury. This property consists of watches, jewelry, silver plate and other valuables that were seut to the War Department from time to tune, much of it having been captured iu Georgia aud South Carolina during Sher man's march to the sea. One very large lot belongs to citizens of Columbia, S. C, and was captured while being taken in' wagons from that city to a place of intended concealment. Other articles were taken from the bo?ies of dead soldiers on the battlefield, or from the wounded who died in the hospitals. This property has since been lying in the vaults of the Treasury unnoticed until Treasurer Jordan took charge, when he recommended the passage of a bill to restore it to its owners. Acting Secretary Fairchild will write an order to-morrow prescribing rules for the guid ance of claimants, who are requested to furnish a description of the articles claim ed, and affidavits to show their owner ship at the time of capture, aud the cir cumstances under which they were captured. Upon the receipt of these affidavits the Secretary will advertise for two weeks, at the cost of the claim ants, in the newspapers nearest their residences, a notice setting forth the nature of the claim, and calling for in formation from the public concerning it. The Secretary will also require a bond of not less than the value of the property claimed to indemnify him in case it is given to the wrong person. At the end of a year all articles remaining unclaim ed will be advertised, and then sold at auction for the benefit of the govern ment. A CHALLENGE FOR CAPT. SAUNDERS. j MaJ. Wm, K. A.

DYNAMITE FIRED. Terrific Explosion?Two Persons Instantly Killed. Barxeoat, N. J., May 27.?An ex plosion occurred this' morning at the United States Dynamite Works, two and a half miles from the village of Tom's Kiver, the vibration of which was felt throughout Ocean county. The building in which it occurred contained two hundred pounds of dynamite, and was blown to atoms. Two men were killed, their bodies being horribly muti lated. Several persons were at work in the buildiug, but bad cone out just be fore the accident, and thereby narrowly escaped death. The plastering was shaken from buildings in Tom's River village, window glass was broken at Forked Kiver, thirteen miles distant, and doors were forced open by the con cussiou at Wartetown, seventeen miles away.

CROWING A MAY QUEEN. THE CLOSING EXERCISES OF THE ORANGEBURG ACADEMY. Miss Jessie RiggS Chosen by her Coinpan [ ions us their Queen?An Exhibition of Calisthenics. Orakoeuitro. May 28.?The closing exercises of Miss Rebecca S. Alber gotti's school For young ladies and little boys took place here last evening in the presence of the friends and patrons of the school, and quite a large number of our citizens. The principal feature of the eveuiug was the crowning of Miss Jessie Riggs. who had been chosen by her companions as May Queen. The exercises were held in the large and picturesque grove adjoining the school building, where the throne had been , erected and comfortable scats provided for the audience. This out-door ar rangement was certainly a happy thought, and is greatly to be preferred to the crowded halls at this season of the year in which our school exhibitions are usually held. At the appointed hour the students of the school marched in double rank from the sthool-room to the Iront of the throne, where the order, "open rank," was given, and the queen ly little queen,, accompanied by her attendants, entered and ascended the throne. The picture at this juncture was complete.- The beautiful throne, with its elaborate drapery, and back ground of evergreen festoons, and the company of beautiful girls iu their robes of snow white, as seen by the soft light whicn flowed out from the myriad of Chinese lanterns which bedecked the . shadowy grove, just as twilight faded ' into darkuess, presented a scene calcula ted to stir the emotions, aud upon which the eye delighted to dwell. The crown ing of the queen was so arranged that each child of the school had some part ' in the picture, and all of them acted their parts nicely. At the conclusion of this part of the programme, the class#in calisthenics was introduced, and for nearly an hour delighted the audience with their exhibi tions in this hcathlul xcrcise. This is a new feature of the school, and is . under the chanee of Miss Fannie Mose , ley, the accomplished assistant of the school. Miss Moseley has met with llattering success in this department, and calisthenics will doubtless hereafter loin a permanent feature of the school. Mies Albergotti's school has long since become one of the fixed institutions of our growing city, and continues to increase iu usefuluess and patronage under the management of its accomplish ed aqd popular principal. The music last evening was under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kohn, of our city, and added greatly to the en joyment of the delishtful exercises of the evening.?News and Courier. FATHER. MOTHER AND SON. A Tale of Poverty and Wretchedness Re lated Ina Police Court. New York, May 30.?There was at least one light heart within the anxious precincts ot the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday morning?a child's. Now hurling many syllableb Polish jaw breakers at Justice Duffy, now slyly eluding the vigilance ot bis guardiaus, now engaging in single combat with a policeman's legs, a four-year-old boy extracted all the enjoyment he could out of his new situation. With each prank came merry burst of laughter. And all this while the tale of the degra dation of his parents was beim: told. The woman, Rosa Ferfankof, was twenty-two years old, wore good clothes and had regular features and a clear, dark complexion. She had been arrested, together with other women, on the street the night before by Policeman Kiernau, of the Merce;1 street station. Klernan told Justice Duffy that she had frequented of late the neighborhood in which she was arrested. As she seemed to be uuuscd to such a buisuess he had previously contented himsell with warn ing her away. Through an interpreter the woman told her story. She had 15,000 gulden, she said, wheu she was married to Moritz Ferfankof, in Poland, several years ago, but all the money was lost, aud when she, her husband and her lit tle boy arrived here eight months ago they were penniless. Her husband got little or nothing to do. and finally com pelled her to go on the streets. When she brought home no money he would beat her. The husband had come to court with the little boy to see his wife arraigned. Justice Dully, on learning of his pres ence, ordered his arrest, and, after an investigation, committed him to the Workhouse for nine months. The wo man he sent to Castle Garden with a view to having her returned to Europe by the Commissioners of Emigration. The boy went with her, dancing and shouting with glee as he passed from dark quiet court room into the sunshine. The woman was unconcerned through out. _ A Ten-Year-Old Murderess. The Aikcn Journal and Review of the 27th instant: Jaue Walker, a little colored girl, about ten years of age, was committed to the County Jail last week by Trial Justice E. A.Eubanks, of Mill brook Township, on a charge of murder. From what we can gather it seems that Jane was required by her parents to mind the child of a near relative, and becoming tired ot her charge administer ed concentrated lye to It. which caused its death. Jane upon being arrested de nied the charge, but admitted that her mother had often warned her that con centrated lye would kill anyone who swallowed It._ T. C.
