A DARK TALK. \ X il **are there are many who pro­ fess to sneer at ghostly apparitions a$ the offsprings of a diseased imagination or an overwrought brain. 1 say profess .to sneer, because I think they are as liable to tliesa visitations a* many oth­ ers, and would unavoidably believe In their reality should they experience all that I have seen. Even the boldest man Is needlessly a coward in tlii presence of a specter, and a horror is Imparted to him that chills his life current* and seemingly paralyses all power of speech or movement, It is a wlerd and terrible sensation, one I hope never to again realize. Sever*! years ago I was sojourning In the trim little village or Lachance. I frequently rambled at will among the dark woods surrounding the town, and delighted to wander along the banks of the rushing Umber, a turbulent stream, whose source lay f^r up In the mountains. Once, 1 lingered far Into the night, and wandered further up the stream than was my u*ual wont. High banks, and tall, wavy trees threw deep black shadows over the noisy waters, except where occasionally the moon glimmered brightly between the foli­ age. Suddenly my eyes descried a marble toomb-like structure, its white sid*? showing plainly in the night. I proceeded slowly to Its heavy, sculp- tured door, and saw between a Assure a dim light Issuing from within. Much I wondered who could dwell In this -strange abode,and I knocked loudly for admittance. No sound was heard save that I fancied I heard a ghost. Again 1 knocked, bnt receiving no answier 1 made bold to push the door ajar and onter. No lamp or taper was burning within, but an unearthly light made objects vividly distinct. And what I saw by its pallid lustre mads the blood run 'chill to my heart. On th« hard earth floor lay the bleeding corpse of a ran** huge MBh across his throat, and HMjftlhlng ipfoMl and rent. His cold Mn^swereiHlTicbecl. atid lift sightless tlassy orbs 8<-<>med to look fearfully In to my own. With an exclamation o( horror, I was about to retrace my steps winen the he«vy door was silently clos­ ed by what or by whom I-knew not, and the dim light faded and left me in inky darkness, alone with rhe murder* ed man! The door resisted my mad and frantic efforts to open it, and f iliri»k« ] loudly for help. But my voice seemed suddenly lost, for a chill hand was laid upon me, a cold breath fanne I my alieek. I could not speak for very terror, and It seemed as If my tremb­ ling limbs could no longer support me* A voice whose accents haunt me still* spoke from out the darkness. It said: *1 am the spirit of the murdered mau! I was dccoyed here, robbed, aud mur­ dered by pitiless villains! Seek out the murderers or dread my direst curse! Tou will know the wretches do you but even glance at thtir faces. The wlerd spirits of the woods now come wlili leaves to hide tlie corpse from the preying wolf, and buzzard! Fall not. Now--farewell!*' As the voice ceased the door reopened as silently as It had closed, and I staggered out and fell senseless upon the grass. When I rega ned consciousness a clammy sw«at ktood out upon my brow, and my hands were cold and numb. " The light was again shilling from within the tomb. As I was about to arise and depart, the heavy door «wung open and pale faced, misty spirits came trooping out. sing ing a <ad, wild funeral dirge. Each spirit gathered a quantity of leaves aud disappeared within the mystic ^rault. As I gazed the tomb seetnnd to sink aud disappear, leaving long rank looking grass In its place. I returned home exhausted by all I had undergone. I knew I had not been droaming, and nights was often haunt­ ed by theughts of the murdered mau "He »aid I would know them did I but glance at their faces," I found myself vaguely repeating one autumn night. I formed the resolution to start out at once and visit the lowest b«unts of crime and drunkenness In hopes of finding the guilty faces of those whom 1 sought. As I opened the garden gate twi) men walked rapidly by me, and almost without motive I commenced silently following tliern. A secret spirit within me seemed to prompt me to do so. They walked on and on until they came to an old deserted house on the outskirts of the village--a wild, lonely spot. They entered and soon a light siione from between a long crack in one of the decaying boards that rattled loosely by the wind. Eagerly I knelt upon tli6 ground «nd peered within. The moment I saw the faces of the men my wliok frame quivered with excitement. 1 knew not why, but I was certain they were the murderers. They held a bag between them, and emptied its contents out upon an old rickety table. It was gold, and the shining pile reflected the light of the battered lantern* The taller <>f the two men commenced dividing tbo money, but evidently in a way not satisfactory to the other, for soon they were fierce* ly disputing. From word* they came to blows, and, from blows to deadly strife. Each drew a long,flashing knife and rushed furiously to the combat Blows woro given aud parried. For a time It seemed both must inevitably be killed. But finally the taller man received a thrust which sent him, dy­ ing, to the floor, and the victor, placing his knee oo the breatt of his victim, gashed hit throat as had boon that of the murdered manV The murJerer seized the fold, replaced it In the bag, and hastily opened the do r to escape from the scene of hiscrimo. I fortu­ nately- had placed my hand on a huge thick stick, as I knelt down to look within the hovet, and my presence be­ ing unknown, I succeeded in dealing him a blow which sent him senseless to the earth. Disarming him of bis long bright knife, I bound his wrists tightly with my strong Uneu handkerchief and called loudly for help, and 6oon the criminal was turned to the stern law. Several weeks,after he was hung, and his body buried among the nameless graves of the paupers. On the night of the day or his execution I was sit­ ting reading in my study. It was In November, and the wind without shrieked madly around the gables of the house, and sighed mournfully among the barren branches of the'trees The sky was cloudy, and the night heavy and dark. The grate-fire's warm Ing glow was p|easant. As I read, the page on which my gaze was fixed com­ menced slowly to turn a blood red color! The book dropped from my nerveless grasp, and 1 looked up with a sickening fear. I was startled to see a human form, and it required no sec­ ond glance to assure me It was that of the murdered man. I could eveu see the crimson gash In bis throat. The doors were locked, the windows fast­ ened and I knew ho was hone other than a visitant froht the dead, In hol­ low tones he spoke; said ho: "You have done as 1 have bidden, and I have no further claim upon you. My mur­ derers are punished, and lie In dishon­ ored graves. Bnt I will amply reward your services. Beneath the oak whose stilly shade yon so often court, near tho banks of Umber, you will find buried gold which I placed there years ago for safety. I with you to possess it for your own. You will nevor see m« more," As be ceased speaking his form melted into air, and I was alone. I weut to the aged tree, and found in the earth a large bag containing the treasure of which the murdered man had spoken, But It was ill counter­ feit! Lovell. • Grant and Sherman, General Adam Badeau in hti article on Uenerrl Grant in the Century for May brings out some new points as to Grant's relations to his Generals. Be says: Grant's friendship for Sherman all the world knows. It had, however, two great exemplifications which should not be omitted from the por­ traiture. When Sherman had finished his march to the sea, and had come out successful in'Savannah, the country of course rang with plaudits. Grant had been sitting quietly before Richmond for months and apparently had accom­ plished nothing, while his groat sub­ ordinate had net only capture-.] Atlanta but had absolutely marched through the Confederacy. It was at once pro­ posed to raise Sherman to the same rank with Graut, and make him capa­ ble of supreme command. Sherman heard of this and promptly wrote to Grant: "I have written to John Sher roan to stop it, I would rxther have you in command than any other one e l s e . • • • • • • • • • * • I should emphatically decline any ctmmlslon calculated to bring u* into rivalry." To this Grant replied: '"No one would be more pleased at your ad­ vancement than I, and if you should be placed in my podtion and I put up subordinate. It would not change our relations In the least. I would make the same exertions to support yon that you have dene to support me, and I would do all in my power to muke our cause win." These were not mere pro­ fessions On either side. 7'bey were pledged in the view of possible con­ tingencies. And they would-bave been fulfilled. There were many during the war and afterward who declared and be­ lieved that Sherman thought himself the superior of Grant, and that he should have come out foremost; who represented many of his actions as prompted to rivalry and jealousy; but it was impossible to shake Grants confi­ dence In his friend. I never saw him so angry as when I showed him Stan- ten's denunciation of tlie terms of peace that Sherman had granted Johnston. He declared that it was Minfameas'* to impute any but patrlo tic motives to a man who had served his country as Sherman bad. And al­ though he was empowered, and In fact ordered, to proceed to Sherman's army and *ldlrect In persou the operations against the enemy," he scrupulously refrained from assuming persona] com­ mand. He might, under hia orders have received the surrender of John- stou as veil a« of Lee, anaU&lng the laurels that his friend had fairly earned ;but the enemy did not know of hfe Arrival until signed, and Grant ington without _ army, and without Bis pi been generally known eten man's command. This friendship did i|, war. Shortly before tion as President, whU* General-in-chief. Mr. , Speaker of the House tlves, proposed to Gra^t I tion should be tntri houses of Congress of absence for four could resume his position t* at the close of his Presidency. rank of General, it was said, had created for him, and he ahoulll called on to relinquish the emoluments bestowed for be »u3e in order to serve thf he had accepted even a hi] tion. which could only Ust four year*. The offer was made in th* name of • large majority of both houses; Grant declined psremtorlly. said he could not sleep at night if felt that he had deprived Sherman and others of the promotion they had earned as fairly hs he oontd be said to have Reserved his own* His refusal was final, and tho resolution was not proposed. He formed a similar frlondshfp for Sheridan, but this began late In war, and has gone on rlpeiiing si His admiration for the present eral-ln-chlef Is equally outspoken and generous, and he thinks and saye to*- day that Sheridan is the peer of any soldier living. McPlierson also was a dear friendi Rawlins lie *vas warmly attached; with all his immediate subordti lived on terms of c»mparatlve*1!ntt macy, and with some of personal friendship. He had the faculty |a * large degree, which nearly or'lf^p||i lit great commanders posses, of attaching those brought closily about him. HI*, personal stall were, without exception, devoted to him; any one of tr would have risked his life for his had lie known he must share the of Des-ilx when he sacrificed himself for Napoleon. In the last year of tho war they organized a systemr Point by which one sat up on him every night to watch of the enemy; for there bad vices of dynamitic character tempts not only to assassinate prominen'. Oflloe*». That camp life at City iPoint never be forgotteo by those who shared it, living in summer In groups of tents in winter in rude huts, of which tbo Commander-in-chief's was larger, but in no other respect better than th%t of tiie humblest captain of the stall. He shared hia table with all his aids- de-camp, snd at night he always joined tlie circle around the camp-fire, and toKl his stories or conversed about old comrade's, and discussed the chances of Sherman on tils march, or of SbMttldan in the valley, or of Thomas in Nash­ ville, or of Butler at Fort Fisher. Bnt with all this familiarity he pre««ped exactly the degreejftf reticence that lie Intended. He never betrayed What he meant should bo kept secret, and though willl .g to listen to suggestion* as to movements or plans, he. made no remark In reply. In the mld<Bi ®f conversation he would leave the circle, enter his tent, write a telegram with­ out consulting any one, and returning say: "I have ordered Thomas to fight to-morrow," or, *'I have senfr another division to Sheridan.** Thus ho gave his orders for the last assault on Piters butg; thus, too. in spite or urgent en­ deavors on the part of Rawlins and others to change the plan, be wrote the final permission to Sherman to stsrt for the ses. For all his great determination* were his own, he was never averse to availing himself ot the idea* of others; and, as I must always repeat^ no man ever learned the lesson of experience quicker, or applied it more ab*oMlle)y. But the suggestions of others wore presented slmr>ly, and either accepted or rejected as his judgment dictated: he was never persuaded.. And if he took up an idea that he found, it wa* so developed by bis own mind tkit It became as original in reality as if ho had conceived the germ. Every who might be called an associate this. Sherman resented tlie ascrip to himself of the orlgtn ot the Tick** burg campaign, and has often told tho story of his objection to the move moot with loyal aud splendid magnanimity.
