"It is crowin quite dark, Thom

was riding ahead.- "to you sec any

as night. I fear we have last our

something that looks like n house ;
but it can't be the tavern, and it
seems to be unoccupied."
"Well, la.dl, "we must try it at
all events. Jsven au empty barn
wouul be preferable, to a night's lod
ging in these ilark woods. 'U ;
Turning aside in to a ,6rt' of blind
path we forced our horses tip the
steep incline and drew rein before
the dwelling in question. It was as
dismal au edifice as could well be
imagined.
Built of dark stone, low-roofed.
and with gaping, unlightei windows,
it presented a repulsive, frowning
aspect that ;was fur from pleasant.
There was, however, no Help lor
it. We knew or no otner naoication
for miles around, and ; was fully de
termined not to make my bod upon
the damp ground at that season of
the vear. Dismounting, we lad our
animuls into the weed-grown court
vard and forced , our own entrance
into ine uoase..njongu wif jhoiiiuk
The interior was scarcely more
nviting thau the outside view. The
tist arose in a perfoct simoou under
our tread, and a host of startled ver
min scuttled away at our approaen.
Bidding my servant kindle a firo
in nn i the rooms whicU bore tra
ces ofmore n-cent ooenpation than
the other, I threw myself upon a
sofa aud prepared lor siumuer.
Wearied as I was, to my vexation l
'ottnd mvself persistently wakeful.
t For a long while 1 Jay, atarmg at
tl tarlonl oWectinjth roomj aad
at length began a critical survey of
the pictures upon the walls.
Ono of these, haneing in the strong
glare from the firelight, particularly
attracted my. attention. It was the
portrait oi a young gin aiureu m
modern costume, and exquisitely
beautiful. -
It was "such a face as one meets
but once in a lifetime and never for
gets ; rar in Itsll delicate perfection
of feature, rarer yet in its magnetic
weetness and strengtb.
The dark eyes looked down at me
ith au expression of living intelli-
gence that was almost startling. ;
i i was wunoui relatives or social
ties, and my noblest ambition w.ts to
kill time : and a dreary butchery I
had 'mado of it so far. So, in all
solemnity, I murmured : 7 ' '
"Yet, I would give a year of my
life to meet her,' '' ;
i Studying the portntit a little Ion-
ger, I at length turned over upon
my siue ana ieu asieep.
w . i i i i - i a
lion long i naa siumoerea i couia
not guess,' when I found myself lying
broad awake, my heart bounding!
with 'an indescribable sense of won-
derand alarm. -r:- V
' ; The fire had gone oat and the
room was intensely auric, uut as i
lay there striving to conquor my nn
accountable nervousness, it seomed
tnat a pale, lambent glow uegaa to
irridiate the wall before me.
At first it was so faint that I be-
lieved it a mere delusion of my exci-
ted fancy f then it grew brighter a;id
stronger by degrees, until objects
were visible in a dull, lurid glare
such as is cast by the moon in its with awe of you. -Explain this my
lait quarter. " tery, I conjure- yptt" -i '-
I had been lying with my face to "I cannot," was the answer. "1
the wall, but now I turned over to onlv know .that I am sleeping ia the
discover whence the light proceeded.
it appeared, however, to come
from no central point in the room,
but to pervade it like a lucid mist,
through which I could dimly tier-
cieve the painting looking down at
me with its wierdly inieliigeut eyes
V as I dreaming t It was the hrat
question I asked myself in expfana-
uauou ol the phenomenon. 1 arose
to a si tting position and gazetf around
me. .No .li was neither dreaming
nor decieved. The light was in the
room, a light unlike any known illu-
miuatibn; coming frOm tio visible
source.' It imparted a pallid dis-
tinctness to the furniture, and shone
with gastly lustre upon my bauds!
and.f dress.. ,
And now, as I sat staring in blank
amazement, a nameless emotion stole
upoii' me, a sense of awe absolutely
superhuman. My heart seemed to
pause in us beating, a dead niunb
uesaviied upon my-limbs, and mv
teeth cleiidied themselves tightly in
a irigutlui nightmare, let it waa
nbrwitfr terror.,' My saiisatiohi were
purely physical, as if I had been blas
ted with ; an electric saock. My
mind, despite its overwhelming won
der, was clear, suspicious aud acti ve.
An, instant later a rush of air, so
cold, so arctic that it seemed to c
agulate my blood,' swept around m.
Just before me in the middie of the
torn the radiant mist grew perccp
tibly . brighter, ! waving to and fn.
with Vibe fluctuations of an aurora. 1
Then it gathered itself together in a I
uminous maaa, the Size nttd Shape of
a human figure. By slow degrees it
darkened and assumed a more deci
ded outline, '. until' within I he very
rea&h pf ray outstretched arm, 1 saw,
as through a pale fog, the form of a
yonngirU vr ;r - , - - ;
Tlie face was turned toward me,
tho eyes mat mine with an expression
unutterably sweet Mid solemn, soem
iog to ask me somcnown question.-1
y
With a shock I recognized the fa e
in the portrait. Yet as 1 glanced to
ward tha picture I saw it still look
ingrown on rue from its oval frame.
Mastering my qwivering nerves
wjth a mighty effort, I again bent
my . gaze upon the shadowy form
beside me. :" ,
JealousI 1" studied it, feature by
feature, line by line. " 1 saw that it
had uo solid outline and thatobjects
were dimly visible through its sub
stance. 15rilliant as a summer dawn,
it was yet like tho impalpable image
of a camera.
I "It must be a dream," I muttered,
"a hallucination of my nscs."
X had not addressed the shape be
fore me, but what wu-e my sensa
tions when a voice, clear, sweet, bird
liko, cuming from a vast distance
replied ; '" ' ' i V 11 ' -
."It is no dream. You wish to
see me. I am here." V.: ' ' "
Cowering back in my seat I re
mained speechless lior an interval.
Then, wth quivering lips, I forced
myselt to spealt. -"Who.
aud what are you?" I asked.
f "The shadow of her whoe por
trait hangs on yonder wall," it ans
wered; "The intelligence of a living

Again the cold air rushed around me,

Covering my face with my hands
I fell inta trance'ot nameless emo

THE FEDERAL ELECTION
' LAW.
M. Y.tVorld. 4
Th Fed-ril Eloctien
repealed as soon aa tho
Ukas posseaalen of the
law ousht to be
DeoBoeratio party
Federal Govern.
This law was passed for the purpose of
b'lHtring the apparantly failing fortunes of
the Bepnblieaa party In th- eeco'id year of
President T3 rant's first Urm. Th lad-pen
dent Bepnblfcan waa beginning to be heard
in 1871 whan th;a law waa enaotad.
It waa evident that the Republican party
waa threatened at the Korth, and in order
to sue' gthei the party la New York and
aad ether large t iii-a. the laws providing
for Supervisors ef Eleotloaa aad Depnty
Jlsrahals were 'enacted. These sUtmee
were purslv partisan. ' The two Supervisors
were to be of uppoaita political parties, but
the United S'atee Marshal waa authoriz 4
to app-lut an army of deputies, while tha
Chief Sutierviedr w-a the appointee of tbe
Federal Coarf,: a ' Judicial officer himself.
who exercised bia judicial functions ia aid
of hie political powers, and held Lis offieo

cans. ' ' ' - - :
Tbe eXention of the law has beea , most
offeueive la the city of New York. Until its
eaactmeattke theory prevailing through
the country waa that elections were presid.
ed over by local officers selected 'for that
porposebvtbo people tbeaoselvee The
intrusion of a United 8atea ufflcer, clothed
with authority f ron vVaahiagton, bad cot
beea hard of wbea Job a I. Daveipnrt was
a leeted aa tbe . agent or toe Kepublicaa
party, aod aivea judicial power , for tba
purpose of keeping down the Democratic
ojaritiea in this city.
The ptetenae aa wbieh the law is based ia
that it is intended to guard oUctione for
Coagms; but as elections fr Gongrea
take piaoe 00 tha s true day and at the same
plaeea as 8tate, couuty and town elections,
the law ia aa effective wita . raapaet to the
oa as to the other. Especially U this true
at the preaent time, when, under the Aus
tralian Ballot law, all Candidate are voted
for on a single ballot. Moreover, if by ac
tion of a Federal officer a citixea is denied
the riht to register, be ie debarred from
voting, not only for ; a Coagreesman, but
for a ttoveraor. or a Sheriff, ore member
efAaterobly, or for whatever candidates
may be voted fr at that particular election.
The law permit Mr. Davenport to per.
pstraiea greu ' ruauy " partisan outrages.
Under it he baa kept mauy foreign. born
oilizeos from the polls by threatening to
arraat them if they presented thetnolvea far
tbe pu peve of voting. B his domiciliary
visitations he has bean able to still further
intimidate the ignoraut. It ie an open ee.
cret that much of the public money expend
ed Iu hiritg Deputy Marebaia baa bean need
to b'ibe the worst Ciaees of thecommuaity
to vote the Republican tioket. Daveaport
haa issued many orders of arrest 00 eleeiien
day fur the purpose ot preveotii-.g hie v dim
from voting. " On oaa-eleotioa day he filled
a part of the Federal Buildiug with bis
prieoaers, aad gave thai part of the edifice
such an odious aoteriety that it baa ever

For all this partisan service. Bona of
