Juot at this li»st;int there catue a peal of thunder followed by a flash of lightning. The ghost, still on his knees, turned his eyes upward, his left side nearest me. By this titae I was on the defensive, and quickly drawing a Remington revolver I brought It to bear on the ghost. The nexi flash of lightning I snapi*ed a cap, but mi«sed Are. The ghost fell forward on his face, and In a weak but firm voice said: "Are you Intending to kill me?* Here I wiil let this tableau end. (But a little later this same ghost was granted a wounded furlough. He readied the town adjoining his own on Saturday night. Stopping at a hotel he learned that on the following day his own funeral sermon woilld be preached In his native town. No one recognized liltu, and with several others he took conveyance in a buss and quietly listened to his own funeral sermon. I believe that this soldier Is still living -- and so am i.

It s<*ems to me that in mv series of Red River letters narratives of cavalry fighting and fruitless combats are getting old. and I will therefore desist from a further rehearsal In this con­ nection. War means killing, I have left the theme of death unfinished, and shall lay aside my pen l«i th* midst of a story but partly told. There are, however, yet a few Incidents ot a very di9ereut nature that were amwng the realities of -our military life, that may Interest some and that I shall hereafter review. Among the many desperately hurt at the battle of Mansfield was one Sergeaut of the 6th Mass. His body was left on the Held for dead, and one of our best officers, in the fullness of a true soldiers sorrow, wrote a letter of condolence to the soldier's mother, giving commendatory briefs of the soldier's career. It appears that this soldier's wounds were carefully ^dressed by one Dr. Taylor of the ^Confederate army. He was sent to Camp Tyler. Texas, and in due time so far recovered as to be able to walk, and about the last of May he was paroled. He reached hie regiment near midnight on one of those cheerless and chilly nights peculiar to the low lands of the Gulf States. His old tltno comrades were sleeping soundly, they being very tired,* having just returned from a scout. Mv quarters were simply a blanket on the grouud, shaded by ^bought of evergreens and swail grass, to keep off the dew. I was awakened by a probe from an old stick that the sergeant used for a cane. Half awake I caught a glimpse bf the dead sergeant who was killed, as I had supposed, it the battle of Mansfleld. A man could not stand erect under ithe shelter of my castle, hence the ghost of Mansfield memory knelt at my feet. He neither spoke nor attempted to speak, hut seemed to gaz$ with a port of blank thoughtlessness into my face, and. being a skeleton very weak and very nervous, both his hands and his head were in motion. I at first could not, or would not, believe my own eyes. I rubbed my eyes furiously, and looked at the subject of my dis­ comfiture again and again. There was a faint ray of moonlight anon from among shadows of flying clouds that lighted a skeleton face of a deathly hue, and to make matters worse, lie evidently smiled at witnessing my em­ barrassment, which caused his face to look contorted as though chiseled by a master hand from the regions internal. I attempted to speak^but my tongue refused to obey. I was never a believer in supernatural manifestations, but my former impregnable position was now untenable; for here, right before me, stood a messenger from that borne from which I had truly believed no creature could return. The ghost moved backward «little. 19*The latest mails from Australia describe the fearful heat and drouth which still prevailed at the time of their departure. For several months scarcely any r$ln had fallen, and widespread disaster seemed unlikely to be averted by the steady and lasttng downpour which alone can prevent It. The hent in the inland districts had been terrific, the mercury once reaching 124 degrees in such shade as was obtainable. Morning after morning, f woeha i tojjfttwr.. the stin ittd in a cloudless sky and sat "like a huge1 red ball of Are at the edge of a copper dome." The looses of station owners are extraordinarily heavy, and the grain harvest will be below the average all over the continent, though In isolated districts the crop is a good one. owing to heavy rainfalls. In Queensland the drouth had broken up* and heavy floods bad done much damage; at one station alone two thousand sheep had been drowned by a freshet. It has been said that Australia is a land of contradictions. AM*nrdlng to the nineteen years cycle theory this was to be a wet year. Thus far. in four of the flve nolonies, it has been a year of drouth. t®-Th» Marengo correspondent of the Harvard Independent bat a wo^l to say: If that old Bourbon politician that hashes up the political pajes of the El­ gin Advocate was possessed of one-half as much brains as the present member of Congress from this district, whom he attempted to vlllfv and upon whom he pours as violent and strong volleys of invectives as a weak mind makes him capable of doing, would seek some new Held and ppsture green, where such massive (?) Intellect a* his could have full sway, and in which capacity his unbridled egotism could (like a child's firecracker) explode and do no harm, then, perhaps, there would be no •ccalion for his stooping so low as to lie about and abuse a person In whose little finger there Is more manhood than there is in both soul and body combined of the polyp who. without cause, seeks to besmirch a gentleman, and one of intellectual ability, who has never yet been guilty bf laying a straw in the path of the so-called ex-rebel whose biography, if written, would not show, we believe, one act performed during his life time, publicly pr pri­ vately, worthy of space in the piages of public print. Last week a redheaded 44wrote upn a number of the business houses of Mendota, for the Chicago Times, and charged only abuiit two and a half dollars for eaeh "personal." But the redheaded reporter's letters did not appear In the Timet, and now that paper oonsoles the business men of Mendota with the Statement that the young man Is a tliief, and not in auv way connected with the Chicago papers. It has always appeared strange that business men are easily gulled in the matter of advertising. A stranger can canvass a town and procura more money for advertiting in a hotel register, or a fraud business directory to be stuck up in a post office a few weeks, than can be secured by a local newspnper. which} gives the worth of the money. A dollar paid to either of the Mendota papers for advertising Is' of more benefit to the merchant than fifty dollars paid to a Chicago daily. This Is easily Illustrated by considering the circulation of the papers In that vicinity. The home p&per, with its twelve or fifteen hundred subscribers thore where the business man secures his trade, is worth just that much morn than a Chicago daily with its twenty five or fifty: readers,--Dixon Telegraph. HON. & A. HURT.BOT. The followinr account of the death of Hon. Stephen A. Hurlbut will be of interest to our readers: Up to the morning of his death the deceased gentleman had been enjoying the best of health. He had been visit* Ing bis friends and taking leave of them, prior to his departure for the United States, which was fixed for the 6th prox„ and nothing indicated his sudden demise. He awoko and dressed as usual early on the 27th, played for some little time with ills two grand­ children. of whom be was excessively fond, and then-, whilst washing his face, was suddenly seized with such Intense pain In the region of the heart as com­ pelled him to give vent to agonising cries wliloh aroused every one in the house. He was soon surrounded by Mrs. Hurlbut and his son, Mr, George Hurl- but, and Ills wife and servants, but for some minutes remained In strong ag­ ony and totally deprived of all power of articulation. A doctor was almost. Instantaneously In attendance, but no appliances were at hand to render as- sistance, even If such could have been of service against the acute attack from which the general was suffering. He was placed upon a bed, where he mo­ mentarily recovered consciousness. His first exclamation was: "God bless yon all! I am dyii\£. Oh, my heart!" A few more disjointed phrases were all he uttered, ani la less than twenty minutes from the first attack he ceased to exist, * * * Gen, Lynch at once offered. In the name of the government of Chill, to take charge of the remains and give them a public funeral, con­ ducted with the ceremony and honor due to the high official 'position and military rank of the deceased. This ofler, however, was declined by Mrs. Hurlbnt. who was averse to a military display, and expressed the wish that the Episcopal church services should be held at the legation, and that the- body have temporary lodgment In the Melggs vault at Villeins, kindly placed at her disposal by Henry Melggs. pend­ ing the transfer of the remains to the Uulted States. • • • The snddenness of the death of Gen. Hurlbut gave rise to numberless ru­ mors, the first of which asserted that he died from the effects of poison. Ex­ travagance succeeded extravagance in such a form that the auth|^||les con- "" " filMiMWrnd iliai a post-mortem, examination be held. The family strongly opposed ant' examination, since all were thoroughly satisfied as to the cause of death, but public grounds were urged upon them by friends, and finally Mrs. Hurlbut' reluctantly gave her consent. * * It was carefully executed, and almost all prewsnt agreed In declaring that d.eatli had arisen from aneurism of the heart. * • • Long before the appointed hour the streets In the vicinity of the legation were crowded, while many of the houses on the proposed route of the cortege were draped with mourning,or mourning emblems were hung In fes­ toons of crape and white from the balconies or over the porches and over the courtyard. Flags were at half- mast; those on public buildings in Lima and Callao and on the siilpptti; in the latter port having been so since the 27th. The stores in the city and Callao were closed. Prior to the cortege leav­ ing the legation the Episcopal burial service was read by Rev. Mr. Lewis, of the United States war vessel Pen- sacola. The casket was placed on the hearse tendered by the fire brigade^ which had been permitted to offer thin tribute of respect, and, was preceded by about one hundred Freemasons of all nationalities, In ordinary costume. The hearse was drawn by volunteer Americans when It moved from the legation. Men of all rank and nation­ alities surioiutded the hearse, which was surmounted by floral tributes. * On arrival at the railway station, the casket was placed In a funeral car, which had been prepared for Its reception, and the train I in to e- dl&tely left for Villegas. On arriving there the casket was conveyed; to Melggs' vault and deposited in it. Sen or Terrazos Pinto, the minister for Salvador, Carlos vjias. and Cesare Cha caltana delivered floqueut and Im­ pressive speeches In eulogy of the de­ ceased, and the proceedings term in ated. Oil the 6th of next month the casket will be removed with evsry solemnity A procession of boats from the men-of- war and merchantmen in Callao will accompany it to the steamer which will convey it to Panama, en route to the Untted States. NO. 42 •S^Tlie Tale Lock Maiinfheturing Company, of Stamford, Conn., has en­ tered a suit In the United States Cir­ cuit Court against Col. Harrison Ail- reon, postmaster of Baltimore, claim­ ing 810.000 damages. The ground of the claim for damages is that Col. Ad- reon stated to the agents of certain lo­ cal papers, that "a colored boy had, by means of a piece of stoel, opened the locks of the lock boxes of the post of­ fice in Baltimore, and that the same were Yale locks." This statement was published in the press dispatches, and the Company allege that the locks were not Yale tecks, and that they have been put ta great expense in publish­ ing refutations of the false charges, and hate been seriously injured |u their bttsiueij* by the Hi, chioaoo cumai at vox ukr. The Chicago Journal of Wednesday last has the following fts relation to two of the Chicago Clube at Fox Lake, tbf first mentioned of which has lately bought the handsome fm»p- erty #f the late E. A. Small; One of the wealthiest and moat ex­ clusive hunting and fishing elnhe near Chicago Is the recently orgisnised V ujuon club, which was chartered under the general' law last winter. It is competed largely of professional men and retired .citi­ zens, who oiganized themselves Into the club ana purchased the elegant summer residence of the late E. A. Small, on the west baaks of Fox Lake, Lake county. III. , ' ^ These premises include thirty-five acres of land, upon which Mr. Small while In possession of theas apaat over 820,000 in their improvement, by laying out drives, building rnstio bridgea. ar­ ranging artistic flower beds* etc., and by se doing made them attractive as any of the public parks la Chicago. The property 1# new vafned at tbaat $25,000. The house is taiga and Com­ modious, containing a club ro^m 2S feet wide br 45 feet lone. 11 is connected by double doors with the dining rsssi, 18x26, and also wish the smoking room, card room and store room for the mem­ bers to keep their guns, fishing Cackle and general limiting outfits. The loors in the whole lower part of the house are inlaid in different kinds of wood of fancy patterns, and every room la the house is decorated and rurnlshed in a Style that would do credit to any of Chicago's most fashionable hotels. There is a well selected library, which Is made up by contributions of hooka from the members. There la ako ^ large grand piano, and every otter comfort and means of eatfenmant-of which the managers eould think to mltl to its attractiveness haa Imom supplied. The upper part of the hous* eotfttaiiife fourteen large bed rooms, all elegantly furnished with full sets of fwaltiure. One characteristic of the chsh room, which the members of the <ditb take pride in point lug out to vtsftftrs^ is a large open fireplace, which cost ffiOO. It is large enough to burn a fail stick of uordwood or any logs which lure, cut on the premise# mt purnose to heat tho room in spring and fall, whan any of the members or tbelr goests are (town for hunting. There is Marge Ice bOus* on the grounds, coiitaiidijg at pNMteat 100 tons or Ice. It is tftted u]) With cooling apartments and <a£f ftM^lera im­ provements. There Is also a bam large enough to accommodate eight or ten hones. This was built for the oonveiil- ence of members who wished todHve out from the city during thoaammer, which is a very common thiagtor them to do. i The membership is llmltM to forty. At present by parttae desirous of bcrs, and there are at present far a*»re applications on file than there are shares to dispose of.
