' "Don't scoff, Jean," said Nfellie i tlevexedly. "It is a most pa- a lit hetie dreadful legend. Years ago, before there was a town here at all, p(?ople used to cross the sands between here and Lytham on horseback. One stcrmv sven- mg a traveler naa crossea as ajsuaJ, ami had almost reached the shore, vthep sud-1 evenly a , bright light appearel, horereil f for a moment over a spot a yard or two away, and then vanished. At the same moment, a piteous, unearthly cijy choed all around. .Tlie horse became wild with terror, and broke loose, throwing his j rider to the ground. When hej recovered himself, he found, lying on tlie ground at his feet, the body of a beautiful pjoung j girl. She was quite dead, witl a ghastly -i i l i !

" The traveler stasrerere'd away to i the had nearest house, got assistance,! w 1 f v i : and the girl's body laid in an upper rooin. - That night, an awful storm arose. A slnp was wrecked on the Horse Bankt and only one man, the captain, ved. He was taken to the saine house where the traveler had already found shelter, 18. and, by some mistake, was put in to the room where the. murdered girl was lying. At the sight of her he gave ari appalling shriek,: and' fell down senseless. When he revived, he was questioned j an fessed that the beautiful young girl was his wife, whom in a moment o racre and jealousy he had, stabbed to the! hearjt and liabi Itriven cast into the sea.

"that whoever ihears . . . i i. i i - the voicft i in risk of treat peril or dan- I L ger, or some kind of sorrow or jtrp t 'about to happen to him.'' . Nellie's voice had unconsciously ble is taken a tone of awe. The still, somber dark- ness, the midnight hour, and j weird melancholy legend had infected both with an undefined sensation of jqppression and fear, a presentiment of evil. - - v dread and gerous ti had ll and rtak said, iiot I . We kept our places by the window, looking out into the deep velvety dark ness, with the far-away solitary . light from the lighthouse gleaming like a red spark, j ': . : :. i Suddenly, while we sat, the sound of a voice rose up again .from the lonely sands, a moaning, piteous voice wiailing and imploring as if in unutterable dis tress. It seemed to mingle with the boom of the distant sea, now rising, now falling, a lonely desolate wail, thrilling through the darkness like a soul in mor tal agony. It was : dying away in the distance, in a low, faint sob, when Nellie suddenly sprg backinto thobm? "Oh,1 Jean, look fshe cried' "Look, the phantom light i ? " ' I leaned out of the window arid gazed out along the promenade. Flashing through the somber darkness like a great star was a brilliant 'beautiful light. It, came rapidly toward us from the right,' apparently floating in the air, and illu minating the space before it for several yards. It advanced very swiftly, with a steady, forward motion, floating along about a yard from the ground. As it came nearer we perceived, looming dim ly behind it, a giant shadow, weird and grotesque, with outspread wings and misty, undefined form, while a sharp rustling, whirring sound -accompanied its progress. 1 . L As the phantom approached the deso late moaning rose agairi from the sands and swept along in low, shuddering Cries, dying away sad and piteous as before. With the last faint sound, the light leap ed up for one second into intense bril liancy and disappeared. 1 . " Oh !" cried Nellie, fearfully "What is it, Jean ?" ! " I don't know," I replied, a feeling of unaccountable dread and horror tak ing hold of me. The very demon of fear seemed to possess my senses, an icy grasp of terror laid hold of my heart. The air outside seemed to have become suddenly clammy and cold, a chilly eerie wind crept in at the window. The' very darkness seemed filled with shapes, hideous and impalpable, at which I dared not look, lest they should; take form before my eyes "Tliere it is again !" shuddered Nel- ! He- J . ; ' T I ! And! with unutterable dread we saw j the brilliant star-like light again floating toward us. tins tune from the rierht hand. It came swiftly, with the impalpalilek fantastic shadow in the air above it, and when exactly opposite, vanished. v We sat paralyzed with, terror, not dar ing to move, a horrible benumbing, ter ror seizing our hearts. This phenomenon, happened several times, the light alternately appearing from the right5 and loft; mid always van ishing when exactly opposite to us, and always accompanied by the moaning vpice. r' 1 Agfaiii the low wailing soumds from the sands, profoundly melancholy, inexpresf sibly mournful, like nothing akin to hu manity. No; words were uttered, but the asronv of the tones was like a voice from the grave. j "Jean, Jean, here it is again 1" cried Nellie, cowering in my arms. And once more the brilliant phantom light appeared. This time it came on more slowly, glancing to and fro un steadily, while the shadowy form behind seemed more grotesque and misty than ever. r " Oil, Jean, if it is true ! If it comes to foretell some loss, some trouble ! " sobbed Nellie, in tears. j " Hush, hush, dear !" I tried to say, reassuringly. "It cannot be. Sorrow may come to us if God wills it, but not through " ' i; " I say, old fellow," shouted a voice down below in the darkness. " You'll frighten somebody into fits ; with that lantern dodge of yours. You and your confounded bicycle look like some hor rible ghostly specter, flitting along in the dark. You gave me a precious start, I can tell you." v ; Nellie and I jumped to ur feet, and gazed incredulously out of thje window. Down below in the road, a yard or two to the right, the phantom light stood stationary at last. In the glare before it a young fellow was standing, while be hind loomed the fantastic, mysterious shadow, robbed of all its terrors in a mo ment'! . ' - ' ." Isn't it a sturming dodge?" said the shadow, in most unghostly slang, j "You see, . Jack, this asphalt's first-rate to practice on: but a fellow has no chance in the daytime for those confounded car riages; so I rigged out this dark lantern a,.-". m " -r and fastened it to my Dicycie, ana l can spin along in peace now." j " Take care you don't spin away the wits of all the old iiiaids on the prome nftdft." returned the other. " You look most horribly like some goblin from the lower regions, with youf dark lantern flashing" in? front, those noiseless wheels and your long legs and arms spread out like great wings behind. The other laughed. old maids are ajl fast asleep lonJ aigo, bless - their old' eyes I he re turned, irreverently.

It sounds for all the world like some one calling out in distress, and 1 it's a sure sign of rough weather.4 What a rage Gregory will be inif -v The two old maids had heard quitb enough. Nellie and I looked at each othr rather j sheepishly, it must be con-4 fessed, and., enbiirt lnto a hearty laugh.' ' i v - ' -: ' ; . , ! r ' The Oil Yield. : : ' At this time, says an exchange, the en tire yield of crude petroleum 'suitable for the making of illuminating oil is about 27,000 to 28,000 barrels per; diem, of. which ' two-thirds go to the foreign market. That is at least 10,000 per diem less than the yield of eighteen months or two years ago, . and producers expect a still further decline duing the winter to 22000 or 23,000 barrels per diem. The production of to-day is actually not equal to the consumption and the deficit is ifelt more and more as the excessive old stocks are being worked off, so that there seems no reason to doubt the legitimacy of the advance in. price of re fined oils from the 10jllc. of near two years ago, tothe26i 27c. of the present. There are no more of the great flowing wells pouring out hundreds of barrels daily. The borings have been pushed down successfully through the first, sec Ond, third and fourth sandstones until they have gone to enormous depths ; tor pedoes have from time tortim broken up the hidden reservoirs in the. bowels of the earth and temporarily improved the yield pnew wells have been sunk with varying, but generally very moderate success, powerful pumps have been in vented and applied, still a diminution of the supply. At the rate of decrease in production which has been maintained of late years witi the exception of the temporary improvement effected a year anil a half or two years rtgo, wlen the oil wells were' generally stimulated to un wonted activity by the exploding of dynamite torpedoes in them it will take the world only a short time to ( work a point when oil will be scarce. It is hardly to be expected that the wells will all absolutely dry up and yield . notliiug in that time--although they may do so. Vigorous pumping, lucky finds of new wells, and judicious doctoring of old ones, will doubtless afford some oil f r almost all time, but it will be scarce, and consequently dear. Up to thirty centa per gallon, kerosene is tlie cheapest Uluminator of equal 'effectiveness that the world knows.! Up to sixty r cents it will still be cheaper than candies at eighteen cents per pound. But beyond that .figure it jmust bear a fancy price. i Necessity of Coolness in Danger. Panic is, of course, one of the things against which it is most easy to preach but which it is most difficult to preach down. Still, if it could be got into the heads of all people in their cooler hours that, in . case of an alarm of fire in a theater j the principal danger to the au dience comes from themselves and is in their own control, it is probable that, even under the influence of sudden ex citement and fear, many who now would show a bad example might then show a good one. Not very long ago a sudden alarrA took place in one of the best of the Paris theaters! It was not an alarm of fire, it was only a clattering and crash ing among the branches, chains and lamps of the huge glass chandelier which hung from the roof. Those who were under the chandelier thought it was cann ing down on them, and made wildly for the doors. The theater was well enough , and I had many outlets, vit in an instant some of the passages were completely jammled and choked by ex cited people, liuckily a single in stant was enougji to allow one of the performers on the stage to see and ex plain the whole cause of the alarm, arid to convince the fugitives that there was no danger. The whole stampede the sudden pattering of was set going by hailstones through an open' window among the metaj and glass of the chan delier. ; In that but momentary, instance the alarm was and in many parts of the house was unobserved: Yet it was evident to all cool observers that had it lasted Only a few seconds longer and been allowed to spread, the passages amd doors would! have been hopelessly choked by a panic stricken crowd, and some loss occurred. of life most infallibly have I A swmdling company hi Texas has sold 100,000 lots in a city that has no exist ence.

I Another very curious division of the jParisian post-office is that of the poste jreBtante. The passion for intrigue that Iforms so prominent a feature in Parisian 'soqial life finds tliere an ample field for its manifestations. Thither come wives that write to other men than their hus ! bands, husbands that correspond with "otlier ladies than tlieir wives, schoolboys Lthat hazarded a declaration of their feel ings to Theo or to Croizette, etc. One strict law of this department is, that no letter shall be placed in the hands of any one save the person to. whom it is ad dressed. Thus, if a jealous spouse comes to find out if there are any letters for hisj or her suspected wife or husband; the only response obtained will be : ".That isiioneof your business." A story is tola how, on one violently excited occasion, a gentleman entered ! the office, dragging rather than leading with him a yotmg and very pretty woman, who was pae as death and trembling from head to foot. Indicating . his terrified oom pajiion by a sign, he said to a clerk in attendance : " My wife, j Madam V., wishes to know if there are any letters for her ?" The impassive j official took dojwm the packet of letters marked V. , ran them over and answered : "There are none, sir," evidently much to the relief of the lady. An hour later she returned alone, through still pale and agi tated. The . moment she made her appearance the clerk took from the packet a latter bearing her name and presented it to her. She commenced , an eager speech of thanks, which was "cut short by the simple announcement: "The person to whom a letter is addressed has alone the right to receive it.; ' The poste-restante often serves as a trap to catch the smaller class of male fact ors such as runaway wives or de faulting bank clerks. Such gentry usu ally come to Paris as a secure hiding place. I Their names are communicated to the police, and through them are placed upon a list, called the yellow lis k, of the post-office. If one of these persons ventures to the posi-restanto to claim a letterVtlie name given is repeated by the clerk in a loud tone --a very sim ple and natural proceeding, and one that awakens no suspicions. But its object is to give warning to a detective concealed in a back room, by whom the culprit is imneliatelv followed, and soon after he . is in the hands of the law. The Rise in Silver. pr. Linderman, in the course of an in teifview, fully reported in the San Fran cisco Chronicle, attributed the rise of silver to the heavy purchases of coin wliich the United States government has be$n makieg in London and on the Pacific slope, and the enormous demand for silver in China. The future of the silver market would depend, he said, miiinly upon the legislation of the United State and' Germany. " There is now," he continued, "about $1,000,000 worth of I bullion at tlie mint waiting to be con verted into trade dollars. The crovern- ment will need hereafter about $1,500,000 in! silver monthly, and it is probable that ncj more purchases will be made abroad. From $12,000,000 to $15,000,000 is likely to suffice for the silver demands of China, the market continues as good in Oliina for the last four months there is no as doubt that much Mexican pulhon : will come ; to San Francisco and be shipped hence to Chinese' ports. India is likely consume $35,000,000 yearjy, or about half the annual silver product of j the wbrld. I do not think the double stand- arid would be a good thing for ; this country. I think we should keep the gold basis, with subsidiary silver for com mon use, fixing the amount for legal tender at $10. We have now, as I esti mate, in this county $150,000,000 in gold arid lessv than $40,000,000. in silver, ex clusive of plate. Of this amount, there is ifrom $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 in sub sidiary coin, and from $6,000,000 to $8, 000,000 at the mints." : The Dying Lion. A French officer who has served many years in Algeria writes an interesting ac count of a dying lion. Fangless, cover ed with magne, and blind, is the king of beasts on approaching the clos of his reign. When not lying mournfully pros trate and alone in some sheltered nook or behin some friendly mound over grown with Bhrubbery, he feebly skulks within a small circuit of his lair in quest of a morsel of prey, which in his de crepitude he rarely succeeds in obtain ing. , At this stage of his career, if his scent does not utterly fail him, his sole resource for nutrition is an occasional nest oil field -mice. Inferior animals smell at him fearlessly, and paw - him "with in solence, f r the forest monarch,? dethroned by disease, is incapable of resistance. Often the rustic Arab comes upon his maieatv in his utter helplessness and ends his troubles with a blow of a club. i Extraordinary Wheat Culture. A corresixmdent of the San Francisco Bulletin says : It has been my good for tune during the past six months to wit-j ness the growth and yield of wheat, planted and .cultivated" in a way new to most people, of which I propose to giyd you a statement. D. O. Bissell, who re-J sides in Goose Lake valley, Modoc coun-j ty, California, is a practical as well as A theoretical farmer. He holds that tlie old mode of wheat raising that is, Of sowing from 100 to 150 pounds of grain per acre is wrong, contrary to the true principles of agriculture, an unnecessary waste f seed and exhaustive to the sbilJ In conversation, with a party of friends (farmers) he presented that proposition,! stating further that he could raise forty! bushels of wheat Jo the acre from brie pound of seed. The idea being scouted as impossible he offered to wager $20 that he could do it. The wager was a cepted, whereupon Mr. Bissell, on, th eighth day of last April, proceeded topu his proposition to the proof by havin one-eighth of an acre carefully measured in the presence ofi witnesses., It was subdivided into spaces about nineteen liy thirty- seven inches apart, andtwo ounces of seed were planted, the seed having been carefully weighed, the grains counted, and the ground spaced so as1 to take but one seed in each place, j It j was then irrigated and cultivated like Indian corn. . . . : ' ' Now for the result its harvested in the i latter part of September. The number of heads per stool was from sixty to 11 well developed heads. I send you 'a sample stool, one of many from the plai, which contained 135 heads, 118 of which were fully developed. . Tlie number oi grants per head in this stool was eighty. Over one-half yielded 100 grains each. Owing to an accident Mr. Bissell failetl to get tlie accurate weight or measure ment, but making all due allowance f oi tl4 wasted the yield was ten bushels, oi at the rate of ejghty bushels per acre, forty more than the proposition callej for. . . V: j Now compare the above result with aii average crop sown broadcast. I an .in sured that the .average number of -head? per stool in ari average field of wheat, sown broadcast, is not over five-of. forty grains each, ; which would be less thai, tliirty-three bushels per acre, if all the seed grew. What becomes of the seed 5 In the field where this plant grew, there was sown broadcast at i about the same time 100 acres. It was irrigated, as was the other, and harvested lit the same time. It was put 'in good, shape, had the best of care, and at an $300 for seed alone. The yield was noti over twenty bushels per acre, or 2,000 bushels for the crop. Mr. forms me that lie will plant Bissell -rn-j thirty-five On forty acres next sprmg, usiticr the seed planter and: cultivator instead of thd broadcast sowfer.

The steamer City of Peking, which ar- rived at San Francisco, brought an id voice of Japanese silkworm eggs, con sisting of 1,872 cases, the value of which approximated $2,000,000. These eggsL in which a larere trade has been carried on between China and J apan and Europe have heretofore passed through in very meager quantities, and then only as ex periments. Dampness is destructive tb the eggs and for that reasou their storage in the vesssel was made a special care.
