There'were none like him in thostf'daya,
So stroeg, so true, so wise ;

And tender, eoulful eyes.

But pale indeed a face end form
To haunt e sculptor’s dream.
But when I looked at him to night
1 saw no single trace
Of the old glory; only just
A very common face. „
No marble brow, no sotyl lit orbs ;
The face was round,and sleek
That once to my Icve-haunted eyes
Was so intensely Greek.
I know full well he has not chtnged
So very much. Ah, me! _

And now, alas, I se«.

Of course: and yet to-night

The black death, which has again ap
peared in some parts of Russia, has proved
very destructive, and caused the greatest
alarm. This U the same disease which,
the fourteenth century, dpsolatcd the
globe, and itgetai
spots, symptomatic of a putrid decom
position, that show themselves at one ol
its stages on the skin of (he sufferer. It
is thought to have had its origin in China
in. 1333, some fifteen years before its
outbreak in Europe, and it raged for 25
years, while droughts, famines, floods^
earthquakes that swallowed towns and
mountains, and swarms oi locusts spread
devastation everywtur*. During the
name period Europe bud as many ab
normal conditions ae the East. The or
der of nature seemed to be reversed!
The seasons w—re a various times in
verted; thooder storms were frequent
in mid. winter, and volcanoes, long con
sidered extinct, hur>t forth afiesh. The
theory L that the extraordinary activity
of the earth, accompanied by dccompo
sition of vast organic masses—myriads
of locust", brutes and bodies of human*
beings—produced some /change in the
atmosphere inimical to life. Fbme
writers say that the impure air was ac
tually visible as it approached with its,
burden of death. The plague owed its
extension almost wholly to iniection and
contagion. Three years passed from
the date of its appearance in Constanti
nople before it crept by a huge circle to
the Russian territories. Statistics were
not obtainable then, but it is es’imated
that in China alone 13,000,000 people
died, and in the remainder of the East
24,000,000, while in Europe 25,000,-
000 souls perished, making a grand and
terrible total of 52,000,000. Although
there is little danger of the spread
of the pest to Western Europe—
for many generations it has been con
fined to the East—it is not strange that
the Ruaeian* should be startled by rava
ges the black death has already made.
U^ffeons attacked by it are said to die
like flies, and the ignerant and super
stitious peasantry are so terrified by it
that many are thought to have perished
of pure (right. Fortunately the laws of
health and the peculiarites of disease are
moeb better understood now than in
Mr. Tildf n is undoubtedly a candidate

He argued : First That the indictment

again the saute poaiiion an that snteda-

that time he was the popular ideal of
pluck and reform. Since that time he
has not been quoted extensively for the
one quality, and if be were not himself
guilty of tampering with the electoral
vote—and ws are setinfied of his inno-
cense—he certainly allowed, up to a very

Tbe residents of Camden, N.J., are
excited, especially those who are super
stitious, as myriad stories are now in
circulation that Hunter’s (the hanged
murderer)'-ghost has returned to earth,
and at night reposes on the pallet lately
occupied by the deceased murderer in
the cage in the upper floor of tbe county
jail.
Early on Saturday morning, so says
the keeper^of the cage and a man cm-
ployed in the jail as cook, the former
heard an unusual noise in the room
iu which the iron cage is situ
ated. He investigated it, and on looking
through the open door of the room was
horror struck to see the spirit of the
murderer reclining on the bed, in tbe
cage. The keeper fled to tbe kitchen,
told his story the oook, snd both return ■
ed to the room and peeped through.
Hunter’s ghost was quietly sleeping.
The two men summoned courage anf*
ficient to shake the door and finding his
presence was detected and probably fear
Inga second hanging butchery his ghost-
ship unceremoniously vanished. The
cage was examined minutely on Satur-
day and everything was found undia
turhed since the munterar was taksn lo
be legally murdered. On Saturday
night, about midnight, several officials
watvhed near the cage. Hunter’s shad
ow again appeared. It was fatigued
as usual by its long journey from the
spirit land and laid down to rest ou the
iron bedstead. After sleeping for an
hour it returned to its home.
Some practical minds argue that it
was s mere hallucination by transform.
ing a reflection from the bmps in the
street below into tbe shadow of Hunter.
Others contend that it is the hanged,
man’s spirit, whieh will not rsat quietly
in tbs grave. Whether this is so or not,
