Charlotte NC, = / At” »ng the numerous foims of fungus wlr .ch live upon higher plants (many of v hich are so detrimental to their hosts) are some, it is now believed, which live •with these (bn terms of mutnnl assistance. .A scientist found that the young root rpoints of somo English forest trees, as the beech and the oak, are covered with a coating of fungus (probably belonging to the truffle or allied family) which seems to help In the nutrition of those trees. Another intcrerting case is that of fungi which live with orchids, and whose mode of propagation has lately been established. Another romance originating in the Custer massacre is identified with the gold watch worn by Lieutenant Critten den, wpo also perished by the vengeful bullets or knives of Sitting Bull's people. The wat h was a present which his father, General Crittenden, had pur chased in England some time before. It became the booty of a Sioux warrior, who, in due season, after crossing the line sold it to a Canadian rancher or farmer. The purchaser, suspecting that there must be some history connected with it, wrote to the maker in England, describing the watch and stating its number. The maker wrote back that the watch had been originally sold to General Crittenden of the United States Army. Thereupon the Canadian com municated With the General, who promptly repurchased the watch, and it now hangs*in his bed-room in New York city, a memorial of the fate that befell his hyave boy. The New York Commercial Advertiser says in a recent Issue: “The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children could not do a better work than the rea ming of little children from drunken and depraved parents, as Agent Stocking did last Friday. In one tenement-house garret the agent found two children, a boy and girl, aged four and six respec tively, watching beside their mother, who lay drunk upon the floor, and in another squalid house a woman lay upon the floor in the same condition with two children, seven and eleven years old, cry ing with hunger, in the room. The four wretched little ones will he cared for by the Society until they are sent to public institutions or provided with homes, and one of the women, who foiught to pre vent the officer taking her children away, will be punished. All this wretchedness in the midst of civilization, tool" <■" It is in Cincinnati proposed that in the year 1888, the 100th anniversary of the first settlement of the Ohio Valley and the great Northwest Territories, the cen tral states of the Union, the State of Ohio, and the city of Cincinnati should he adequately celebrated by a great and 'latmrat* display of agriculture, com merce, manufactures and art, marking the progresa made in a century. It was unan imously resolved by the Board of Com missioners representing the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade and Ohio Mechanics’ Institute that an Exposition he held, which though being the Fourteenth Cincinnati Industrial Ex position, shall trear to the world at large the name of the Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and Central States; that it shall he broad in its scope, extensive in preparation, eompreaensiva in detail, and to which shall be invited the exhibitor! of the world.

OLD GRIDLEY'S GHOST. ‘Why, Dunham, what’s the matter? How your hand trembles! Are you sick?" “No; not exactly.” “What ails you then? Speak out, man. Have you been seeing a ghost?” “IV tell the truth, Maggie, I do feel a little nervous this morning. I haven’t made a trip these twenty years that I dreaded like this.” “Seen Old Gridlcy again?” ‘Pshaw! I thought that was it. liaven.t you seen him a dozen times be fore nnd nothing came it?” “This time he had his sextant.” All this was at the breakfast table. Dunham was mate of the Oro Fino, mak ing tri-monthly trips between Portland and San Francisco. He had sailed thirty years, been round the world twice, been Captain about six years, but lost his ship ana couldn’t get another, and so was glad to be First Mate of the Oro Fino. Dunham had a habit of seeing ghosts, or, rather, a ghost, for he never saw hut one; that was okl Gridley. Gridley was mate of the vessel on which Dunham made his first trip as a ship-boy. That trip was Dunham's first, but 'Gridley's last. Gridley had a passion for beating ship’s boys with a rope’s end. Gridlcy was taking an observation with the sex tant, and, ns the boy was passing him with a bucket and swab, a sudden lurch of the ship threw him against the mate. Gridley seized a rope’s end, and was be laboring the boy soundly when a boom, providentially left loose, struck him and knocked him overboard. Ever since that, on numerous occasions Dunham had seen Gridley's ghost—-usually with a rope's end, but sometimes with a sextant. He had never been able to see any particular fatality portended by the vision with the rope's end. He had seen it a dozen times; and, on some occasions, his best luck had seemed to follow the apparition. Not so when the ghost with the sextant appeared. He had se<jn‘ this only twice —once, the night before he fell from the foretop and broke his leg; the other time, the night, before his ship was cast away. Last, night was the third time. He had waked up and found himself lying on his back. The room was perfectly dark; it was also perfectly still. Dunham could see. nothing and could hear nothing. Nevertheless, he felt that something or somebody was in thb room that ought to he out of it. He also felt a draught of cold air. Dunham was no stickler for ventilated apartments, and had carefully closed and locked the windows before re tiring. The air could not come from the windows; neither could it come from the bed-room door, for that opened into the sitting-room just opposite to a win dow, and if the door had been open he could have seen the window. Despite his natural courage, Dunham was fright ened. He raised himself on his elbow very cautiously. He looked about the room; he could see absolutely nothing. He reached over to where Maggie, his wife, sle|rt—she was there. He moist ened his linger in his mouth and held it up. He could then sensibly feel the draft of air coming from the foot of his bed. He got up and struck a light. Looking over his shoulder as he did so, he saw, at the foot of his bed, old Gridley. It would do no good to shout aloud—his wife would only laugh at him. He had often waked her up to look at the ghost, but she professeu never to see it. It would do no good to go up to the appari tion and try to seize it—he had often done this, and it only disappeared for an instant to reappear in another part of the room. So he left the lamp burning and £ot into bed with his eyes fixed on the figure. This time Gridlcy had his sextant, and seemed busy bringing an imaginary sun down to an imaginary horizon. The operation completed, the figure turned to the bureau ana seemed to be making the calculation. Then he turned to Dun ham, and shook his head negatively, and dashed the sextant to the floor. A sud den crack startled the mate. He had turned the Inmpwick too high, and the chimney had cracked and fallen to the floor. In the morning Dunham was a little nervous. However, having taken a cup or two of strong coffee, felt more com posed. Joey Dunham, the mate's only child, a boy of ten years of age, almost always ac companied his father on his trips. This time Dunharn proposed to leave him at home; hut the boy seemed so disap pointed that his father finally gave way, and they • started together down to the steamer. Joey was jierfectly at home, and while his father was busy, stole up into the wheelhouse, which had incautiously been left unlocked. The wheelman, coming along soon after, met Joey stealing down the steps, looking scared and guilty. In an hour the Oro Fino was at the mouth of the Willamette, and struck the strong, full current of the Columbia. Having more sca room now, she began to use her strength. The flames roar through the flues; the engineer turns on a full head of steam; the clear, sweet wa ter of the river, c ut clean and neat by the prow, is clashed into snowy foam by the paddles, and sinks and rises in a swell ing wake for half a mile to the atern. CHARLOTTE, N. C. SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1887. riftung boats and Indian canoes glide I past her like shuttles, and before yon can fairly turn to look, are tossing and rock ing on the swell many rods behind. A black hull, supporting a cloud of dingy-white canvas, is seen ahead. It is the Hudson Bay Company’s store-ship, bound for Vancouver. A a cloud of white smoke, a heavy thud, and she has saluted the Oro Fino. A jar and a thun der-clap that startles the old ones, and sets the ladies to screaming, and the Oro Fino has saluted her. Three cheers from the stranger as the British flag runs up to the masthead, and three cheers as the stars and stripes curl and snan in the stiff breeze from our gnff. Now that she has passed, and the sun falls full on her canvass, she seems like a great bank of 6now floating up the river. Nearly everybody is tired of watching her, and many have gone into the cabins to avoid the wind which is growing chilly, and others are cotaposing them selves in twos and threes about the deck, when a new and more thrilling episode calls them all to their feet again. Dun ham and two men come tearing up the staircas to the quarter-deck. The bell tinkles, and the paddles stop. “Man overboard!” is theory. Every one rushes to the stern; every one scans the boiling current. “There, I see him!” cries one. “He’s treading water!” cries anotftcr. Everybody can see him now; but by this time the tremendous mo mentum of the vessel has left him a little speck a quarter of a mile behind. It takes an age to lower the boat. Finally it is °ff—Dunham in the stern, and the sturdy sailors bending the ash dangerously. “Can he hold out?” “Oh, yes; can’t you see him? He’s treading water.” “No,he’s floating.” “Anyhow, he keeps up bravely.” “How slow the boat goes!” “Why don’t they pull?” _ In .fact, the boat was cutting the water like a frightened fish. Men on the ship involuntarily bent and strained, as though they could help in that way. The boat nears the floating object, now only a s|)cck in the distance. A joyful murmur goes up from the ship. “He’s saved!” “Oh, those strongmen!” But Dunham sheers the boat around, and picks up only a hat and holds it high in the air. The owner had long since sunk. By the time the tired crew were taken on board and the vessel under headway, it was dark. They made Astoria by midnight, and lay to alongside the wharf. The wind freshened during the night, and by morning a heavy gale, filled with salt spray, was driving in directly from the sea. The pilot reported that it would be impossible to cross the bar in such a blow. So they waited. Dunham's pre sentment of bad lurk had been strength ened by the loss of the man from the ship, and he was more nervous and gloomy than when he left home. So he took his boy and went ashore. He went to the house of a friend and left Joey there, with orders to return to Portland by the first steamer that should go up. He also wrote a letter to his wife—a little longer than usual, almost two pages, and a little more affectionate than usual. He excused himself for writing by telling her that the bar was so bad they couldn’t cross, and it was a little too dull to stay there doing nothing. By ten o’clock the squall had abated, and by noon the pilot said he thought he could get over the bar by taking the north channel. While the firemen were getting ur. steam, Dunham ran over to his friend's house—it was only a few steps—and bade Joey good-bvc, and told him to be a good boy and mind his mother, and gave him sundry other items of good advice which I fear the young scapegrace did not attend to closely, be ing engaged in the very amusing game of sec-saw with the little girl of the house. By three o’clock the ship was fairly under way again. By five, she was safely over the bar, and had put her pilot aboard a steamer which was waiting on the outside to enter. The captain, having b«en up all the previous night, went to his cabin and turned in for the night. The passengers were all either sea-sick or chilled by the cold wind, and had gone to their rooms and into the cabin. The wheelman, by orders from Dunham, made out Cape Disappointment and Til lamook Head, and took his ranges from them and put the ship on her course. Hi had only time to do this when a fog rolled up, so dense that even the light on Cape Disappointment could scarcely be seen. Dunham assured himself that the Slip was on the right course by going into the wheel-house and looking for himrc'.f. Having-done this, and know ing the coast perfectly, he felt pretty safe. He was a little confused and ner vous, however, and so he went down to the cabin and overhauled his charts, and read the sailing directions just as though he had never made the trip before. He seemed to lie all right. “Bring your ves sel in range with Cape Disappointment and Tillamook Head, and then put her absut south by east." He had done this fifty tiroes before, and had come out all right. To be sure that no mistake had lieen made, he climbed up to the wheel house, and quietly asked the man at the wheel how he had got his range. He answered promptly and satisfactorily. Everything was according to orders. So Dunham cursed his nervousness, and walked back to the smoke-stack. The wind had gone down with the sun, but a heavy sea was running, and it was as dark as Tartarus. Duntuim pared the deck for half an hour, then w<git below to get his cloak. Being chilly, he went up to the hurricane deck and sat with hia lack to the smoke-stack. Being nervous, he lit a cigar. Being rareful, he walked forward to see how things were moving. He thought he heard a distant roar. He listened, and could hear nothing. He walked bark to the smoke-stack. In ten minues he came forward again. He thought he heard the roar of the turf. He called to the man at the wheel: "Abbott!” “Ay, ay, sir." “How does she stand”' •’Sou’ by east, sir.” That Iras all right; that was the course ' Dunham had put her on. He went to the paddle-box and signaled the engine to stop. Then he called a man and had the lead thrown. “Twenty-four. : Plenty of water.” thought Durham, and started the engine. He then went to the Captain's cabin and knocked. The Cap tain did not hear the first time, and he j knocked again. “Who’s therer “The mate.” The Captain opened a port near the head of his berth, and asked him what the matter was. Dunham reported. The Captain told him it was all nght; that it was foggy, and the roar of the surf with sue la a sea on and no wind could be heard ffcn miles. Durham rather thought so, too, and went away. During this parley, and while the mate stopped a few minutes to look after things oelow, the ship had made more than two miles head way. By the time Durham got on deck again the roar of the surf was frightful. He fairly screamed at the helmsman. “Abbott!” “Ay, ay. sir." “How’s her head?" “Sou’ by east, sir.” Amazing 1 Dunham ran to the paddle box and jerked a signal. The ermine stopped. Then he rushed to the Cap tain’s door and called him out in the name of the gods. Both flew on desk. There was no mistake about it; there were the breakers not half a mile ahead, judging by the sound, thundering and boiling against the shore. Dunham had almost run the ship's head on shore, and that, too, when she was holding pre cisely the same course by compass that he had put her on fifty times before. The Captain roared: “What's her course?” “Bou’ by east, sir." “Put her sou'west." “Sou’west. sir." echoed the man at the wheel, and the wheel spun round and the chains rattled. The Captain rushed to the signal-bell and started the engine, and got the ship under good steering headway. Scarcely had she started on her new course when a scraping sound was heard and felt—then bump, bump, bump, as though the ship had been lifted up and set down hard three times; then a crash that sent the captain and mate on their faces, and brought the smoke stack s crashing through the decks, and and snapped off the topmasts like pipe stems. The ship had struck a sunken rock, and began to fill at once. Who got to shore, and how they got to shore, matters not. It is the same old story. The news spread on wings. Men came and dragged the swollen corpse* of their friends out of the surf, or dug them out of the sand, or identified them in the shed, or paced the beach day after day, looking out on the remorseless sea that sullenly clung to its dead. The captain and the wheelman. Ab-„, mt _ : bott, went to Portland together—Dun 1 ham they never found—and there the talked over the strange affair and hausted all their ingenuity in Tain to t ' ** rount for the loss of the ship when :iro n " w the right course on a still nignt.

Two of Edison’s Inventions. People who think that because Edison is under the weather and enjoying him self down South he is idle, do not know the man. He does not know what idle ness means, and I have just heard that he has perfected an invention which may re sult fatally for him unless he locks it up in his safe for some future generation to suffer under. Perhaps it may be remem bered that years ago Edison was interest ed in the microphone, a device for mag nifying minute sounds in a most wonder ful manner; it was with the microphone that Edison said he would enable people to hear a fly walking across the ceiling, the steps of the fly sounding like that of a war horse upon a theatrical stage. His latest move in this direction is a device which, attached to a small cabinet organ, enables it to give out the sound of a cathedral instrument bigger than that of the Boston Music Hall, and he says that a hand organ provided with his new inven tion will be heard across the East River. If this is so, someone is going to get killed, either Mr. Edison or the Italian nobleman who attempts to put his device to use. The idea of hearing “II Balen”, or “The Heart Bowed Down” or “Tha Sweet By and By” from two or three hun dred hand organs suddenly endowed with ten times the power of Barnum’s steam calliope is something awful, and Edison has done well to get far out of the reach of civilization before announcing his latest achievement. By the way, shortly before Edison left he reverted to his old toy, the phono graph, and said that he had not the slightest doubt that the perfected phono graph of, say, 500 years from now, will do away with every sort of writing and printing. People who want to write a j letter will say what they want to say into their phonograph, take out the little slip of foil or paper, and send it off, while the person who receives*it will put it into his instrument and listen to what his friend has to say. The printer's occupation will be gone, because newspapers will consist of sheets of tin foil, to be put into each person’s phonograph, when the news will be read out, by the phonograph in a clear, interesting and effective manner, some device being adopted by which the reader wi' 1 enabled to have r~ ' --be* THE BEST , Remedy for Gout, Rheumatism, or Nett j rulgia, is Ayer's Pills. ** l know yo one I who has suffered more tluin nr - f from, i the distress and torment of Gout.
