' I eared noth log for ghosts, to Into the obateau I rent, stabled tuy hone in the parlor, and then with the help of a box of matches and a newspaper I happened to have in my pocket, set towork at lbs half-burned logs on the hearth, got up a feeble fire, lit my f lpa, ' aud drawing one of the chairs up lu front of the fire-place, under the combined soothing influence of the fire and , the 'baccy fell into a reverib, and final ly, I sunpeot a sleep, t Huw long r it lanted I doo'l know, but I suddenly became aware that the fire bad i dled out, aud that thick darkness Was all around me. The thunder and rain ap peared to have ceased, for not a sound broke the complete alienee, . wbich came t lesl so oppressive, that at last I got up and groped my Way Into the passage to look; oat V on the night. I'ce.lng mylwsyjbthe.wsll. I slowly progressed along till I reached tb ball-door, ; btlt it i was "' shutr Shut t How odd I I bad cerfctluly left it open, remaps i was at the nrong door..

I wonder I didn't bear it shut, but at all evsuts i'il go out f r a bit." That was airier said than done. I put out my right hand, as a mat ter of "course, but It was very strange, I coul.lu't grasp the handle, I saw well enough where I wsi by hs match, yet, soniebow, my fingers couldn't take hold olV. "What nonsense," I said to myself, ssl, perforce, dropped the burning end of the match on the floor ; "what can have come over me T" And I put out my left band.' A strange twinge ran through it the moment it touched fie handle, and it dropped nnuab and powerl-ss by my side : I felt I couldn't move a muscle of it. T . A slight mocking laugh sounded suddenly behind me, and 1 am afraid I lost my temper, - . C . "Confound you I" I involuntarily burst out. "What do yon mean by that Idiotic titter? Open the door." Dead alienee perfect, uo broken silenee.

I knew there was nothing to beer. Ut ter, complete oiIence--etleaoe, Indeed, that could be felt.

' . Drawing my cbalr again ia front of the fire, I sat for some time enjoying the warmth, and gazing on the biasing logs ; then I tried the old piano, a woo derful old Instrument, frightfully ' out of tune, that would have made Tb ii berg shiver ; and, finally, atretcbed myself on the vast sofa which, protest ed against my weight with many in ternal groans. ' Turulog my face from the glare of tbe fire, I lay some time in a dreamy tsverie, till a slight stir made me, in voluntarily turn my hesd. What was that, a living form or a sbapelew mass, that tbe leaping, flickering flsmes showed me in the arm-chair oppos'te f Certainly there was something there a grayish thing hudITed up rather back in tbe shadow of the chimney Stay t it moves j a head, .with the long, disheveled, dark hair of a woman emerges gradually from under the gray Wrapping.

"I think I ought to thank bar fjr tbe fire at ajl events," . So with a prelimisary "hem I" to at tract tbe attention of my Phillif, I be gan a polite speech. , i , Rapidly and noUIestly as I Spoke, the conieole of tbe chair glided shape- Isss'y out of sight, melted gradually and Imperceptibly away, dusolviug be foie my stupefil gsse jato nothing bess.

"There's not much cance of finding any one, I suppose," I thought to my self; "but at any ratal will searcb tbe bouse." So taking a flsming stick In each band, to light sae as a torch on my way I set out on my travels. First, I explored lb nest of rooms opposite.

The mlsoonceptlonS, through Igno rance and the mlsstatementr, through deliberate Intent to deceive, of the causes of pnssnt financial conditions, are numerous and result is prolonging the depression. There Is no doubt tbat every business man desires to act so as to promote a return to prosperity as speedily ae possible, but having limited lime to bestow on tbs study of political aad financial matters of world-wide ex tent, he Is proae to rely on the state ment of others of hlsowa business or political way of thinking. : The effects are patent the causes are not so easy tb get at i consequently a statement of anything that seems plausible Is quits apt to betaken as pure gold, especially if it comes from one In a kindred pur suit of similar political Ideas. When a monetary panic strikes tbe earth, and la felt fVoa Cape Horn to Baffin's Bay, and from New South Wales lo Finland, It is tbe result of several castes tbat have been working for years to the same end.. No one cause ean bring about such widespread disaster. But when a man Is strlcksn with an epiratlon for political honors wltb a 15,000 salary attach man t, be U quite apt to attribute the ills of his eon ottuents to ceases that are most liable to arouse tbelr prejudices and appeal to their paity bias. Newspapers, a Wo, do not beeltnte to" eurry favor with their readers and fatten their : circula tion by deliberate fallacies, stated for uo other purpose than to arous parti san feeling, . i , - , A cry is uttered by s party paper or a politician, and It Is taken' up and echoed scross the country and becomes a part of the financial gospel of many, when, to analyze in the light of facta and truth, it proves to be, at bottom, top and middle,, the rankest falsehood, and the shstne of It Is, it Is aocepted by millions and blinds them, both to tbelr own detriment aud to lbs national hurt. The causes and cures for present financial ills areas numerous aa friends' remedies for a cold. Going intoeaoses first, many advanced the . theory with much vehemence, tbit the exces sive production and use of silver as money was the root oTfhe evil, and the only remedy was tbe repeal of tbe bul lion act and tbs suspension of silver coinage. With the latter accomplished trade would revive at atones.. It was accomplished without bringing about tbe expected results, but did produce some that were entirely unexpected, It injured business In silveruslng Msx Icoand Central America, thereby af fecting this country indirectly. It struck a blow at the Interest or many of our own States, but on lbs whole, we believe It to bave been a good piece 'of legislation, although it was folly to ex pect from It complete relief for tbe stria gency. v-v-vAT''-:. A-'-K? Again, great powers have been attrl bated to the tariff; both for good and evil. Tbe friends of high tariff say tbat tbe sgitatloa for lower duties bos de moralized bus! ocas end brought about tbe stagnation. The low tariff advo cates at tribute all our troubles to tbe excessive taxation and restriction of business by a high tariff. One psrty aays tbe cure lies in letting pressnl tar iff laws alone ; tbe other says it will be found in a material reduction. Still another party says, let whatever Is U be done, be done quickly, so tbat af fairs may be on a settled basis ; then trade, having uncertainties removed. will revive. - ' There is one factor tbey all overlook in their prognostics' lone, and that is tbat the "hard timee" are not confined to the United States, but extend over the civilized world ; tbat tbey did not originate here, but on tbe contrary this country wss the last to fsel their effects, and suffers Ibe least of tbem all. The fallacy of our tariff legislation being able to effect Earepe, India and South America must be apparent. Wbsn bninees begina"to revive It will not be through any settlement of tbe tariff question only. However, to settle tbe tariff definitely, and thereby remove ooe obstruction to returning pros perity, will be wise. A little financial history will clear away tbe obscurity sarrou-xllog tbe origin of tbe difficulty. Tbe years eloce 1884 bave bees fairly prosperous. enterprise bes beea extended ia all d erections. Immense expei-ee of new territory bare been brought under eul tivslioo, particularly ia South America and Anatolia. No decade bae equall ed It kr Investments and enterprises of a speculative asture, depending oa fu ture developments for rWurns. This eoo o try did not bave the fever of ovee expansion as severely as the on es above mentioned. Forefge capital bad beea largely diverted to tbem and we were left more to cur ova rs Jti rcaa, and wb'.le we have developed oew territory rspMly, it bas not been oveMooe to srjcb sa extent as lo tbe other eouo- ries. WiU tbem cisLk baJ b:ea stretched to the utmost. Over-capitalizing soon became apparent In every thing, and confidence wss changed to distrust whsn returns, Jong expected, refused to materialize. Obligations be come due and found nothing to meet tbem. Then came a scramble to get from under. This started first In Ar gentina, In 1891,. Millions of money were swept away in a few montba. This wss tbe property of British and German capitalists mostly, and it was tbis that caused tbe downfall of tbe great banking bouse i of the Barings. Following this came the collapse In Australia. The whole banking system of that continent shriveled to nothing la a few weeks. , It was a tornado that struck Argentina, but It was a cyclone and earthquake tbat swept Australia. Between fo00,000,000 and $400,000,000 vanished la four weeks. This was again tbe money of the British Inves tor. With all this money gone and the two countries collapsed, there was but one source to which tbe crippled Britons eould turn for the ready cash which tbey were In such great need of and tbat was the . United States. Bo tbey promply commenced to unload American securities, This resulted in the enormous drain of gold in the ear ly months of 1803. This export of tbe yellow metal, combined with other unfavorable conditions, produced state of feelings In tbls oouotry which made a etampede inevitable at the first opportunity. Tbls was precipitated when "National Cordage" broke. In a week we were lu the midst of the worst panic of the century. Now, tbe causes have been , working up through a decade ; la anybody cred uloos enough to beliove tbat Ibe rem edy lies in an act of Congress f -. All legislation can do Is to remove obsta cles : 'be remedy rests with every it. dividual, firm and corporation of this and every civilized country. Let it he borue tn mind tbat extreme prosperity Is no more the normal condition than extreme adversity. Everybody has practiced unusual eeonony for nearly a year. Tbis is gradually giving place to more liberal expenditures and wo will suddenly awake to flud the "hard times" bave disappeared and prosper Ity Is again with us. - Beaavaliag VTera eat I,aa4.
