Donegal! was a boy in the service of a l iimcr in the neighborhood, and every evening was in the liabit of driving his . when milking was ended, to the re el i: ,-d flat we have mentioned. It was en ei , lln the “toglicr" on one side, and a }j, M of rape on the other. Mike was a smooth easy-going youth, of few words, and as little likely to ‘'set the Liffey or any gr, at* r river on fire'’ as any boy in Leinster. 6 On,.- evening, while on returning home af ter having driven his cattle to their pasture, he met with an acquaintance, the servant boy of a neighboring fanner, and addressed him in words to this effect: “Faith, a strange tliii.- happened to me just now. Just as I was driving the cows into the pasture a big whin cat jumped out of the rape-field and ran towards me. It was mighty playful at fir ;, and miaw-d at me, and rubbed the 1., and ia a i list iny legs, and purred, the way tin vdo when they do lie pleased. After a w 1,1 1 - - In; stopped this, and began to walk around me, and growl, und the eyes of him -oinetini i were like to coals of fire, and other times like the green spots in a pea cneh's feather. Faith myself got frightened, mi l at last f let a screech out of me, for he look' 1 a big as a dog, and if he flew at my throat with them elatvs and teeth of his, I had no way to save my life. Well, what would you have of it? the next minute there wn-n't a igii of him to Vie seen; but I made no,// 1" • in the place you may depend. You ma -: bring tin- mastiff dog with you to-inor row evening when I’m dhrivin’ out the cat tle; that's the boy for to match any cat in Ireland.” Next i veiling the neighbor came, bringing tin; dog. an-I accompanied by a few curious village full s. who had heard the story in the rour-eof the day. When they reached the spot itidienti and, Mike, pointingin an agitated mania r to the fence of the rape-field, cried out. “There lie is, there he is! Why don’t you ,-t the dog at him? ()w, ow, here he coni -! * “Ilie, cat! hie, cat!” cried the as sistant-. g'-ting rather terrified Viy the hoy’s apparent fright, and his cries. The dog hail- and ami jumped about in great excite ment, but it was evident that he neither saw cat nor id in any direction. “0, don’t y<nis all see him sittin’ there on the edge of the gripe? lie turned back when Thigeen began to bark, but he’s now lookin' at me, ami ; ruwlin'like vengeance.” The standers hy h gall to be more frightened at the cat they did not see than Mike at the cat he did si i ; and off thev drew without more delay. That i veiling and the next day the story had traveled a mile or two in every direction, and tlic following evening, at the same hour, n hundred people, at least, including our authority, were onthespot. Mile s attention was again painfully ar re ted liv the cat, to tile terror of some and the ilerisi on of u few. It changed its posi tion several times, and Mike’s features were expressive of great trouble, blended with awe. After this state of things had contin ued for a while someone proposed to send for the schoolmaster, whose house stood by the ide of a neighboring by-road. A depu tation waited on him, but on learning their! busiuet i he scoffed at the thing altogether, said that glmsts nr spirits were out of place in tin- nineteenth century, that he was tired, and that it was too late, and that lie would be on the spot next evening, and make a! hare of Mike or the ghost, whichever de served it. At the usual hour of the cow’s visit to the pasture on next evening, our informant wasi one among a thousand spectators at least. \\hib- waiting for the young ghost-seer they formed knots and indulged in various sur-j mist -a. Some were of opinion that it was wl.ai lias si lire been poetically termed a sell, while : young man, who bad made the Pan theon his study, and had got a glimpse of the ?> 1.-t cm psychosis, conjectured that some evil liver ot past days was now obliged to do pen iice in tin- uliapt of the cat, and hinted 1 '' • ucy of giving the animal a; will.-berth. I In schoolmaster arriving, and fimhii a good deal of desultory chat going on. mixed with some laughter (for a little factitious courage is always generated in a crowd) raised his voice, and requested deco- 1 rum to lie observed. “If there is any truth in the boy s story.” said he, “the spirit must good or evil one, and in either! ease levity should not prevail. O, here is the spirit-seer!” Ihi 1 ow s were seen approaching, and the young herd, feeling himself the observed of tin- multitude, slowly advanced, assuming whatever gravity lm could in face and move-! mi id. \\ In n lie came opposite tho locality of the former apparition, lie cried out, in real Cl-assumed fright., “The cat, the cat!” All I>.\- line hushed and attentive; then, fol lowing with his eyes the supposed move ments of the apparition towards a little hil lock occupied by some women and children, he , ri. i. “Take care! he is going that wav!” There was a general scamper among the lit tl' c roup, mixed with some cries and ejacu lations. and the operation was repeated a couple of times morn with other groups. This eimsrd some general annoyance, and one disconti nted individual culled out. “Now is yt nr time, master, if you have anything to-a ,to Mike or tho ghost. You know you boasted lust night there was uo such thing k!i<>&ts. L t us see what you are good “W ell." said he, “one thing or the other must be taking place a spirit is present in tin- shape ol a eat, or the child is making fun of us all.

I whs! -.s troubling it, you’ll see or lioar something out of the common if the bov is not humbugging you all. Mind, I dou t believe a word of his story.” A voice was heard from the fore ranks. “Weil, tlnui, 1 believe in ghosts, but am not I any mother’s son of ’em. Mia . my buy. do as the mastlier says, and 111 be yu-.ir bail for any harm that can liap |>i n you." Hue the mother of the boy rushed at him out of the crowd. “Miek, my darling,” said she, "take cure what you do! Maybe yon spake them words it’s tare you Inn I .' hem limb he’ll do.” “I'm not a bit aft aid, mother.

Hut if any answer came, no one , heard it but the boy. ‘After he had waited for a while he took heart and requested to !be told what he should do next. “Let him answer the first question before you go to a second D.dn t vous ail hear what he said? “We heard nothing but your voice asking him.” “0, I see, no one can hear him but myself. Well, the answer he gave was that his name was Paddy Mullowney, and that when he was alive he lived in these parts. ” Then Issued a volley of observations and ejaculations. “Tshu, tshu! Well, to be sure! See there now! That flogs! I wish we could hear himself! It’s all a piece of gost lier. Whisht, whisht! no use to be too hard of believing.” This portion of the narrative would occupy too much space if given in de tail with all the interjections, cross-questions, interruptions, etc. So we confine ourselves to the statement made by Mike the inter preter.

The Government not pressing the matter, partie* were not required to give bonus for appearance at tfie time specii led, but were placed iu custody of U. 8. Marshal Neff, who released them on parole on tlieir personal assurance that they would not attempt to leave. Counsel for the Government made the point that the vessel had been fitted out in the. I niied S ates, as charged in the indictment, to cruise aud commit hostilities against a Govern ment with which the United States is at peace, iu order to make it a prime i foci* case, and they asked for continuance, to allow time to secure the pre sence. for the Goverums.it from New York aud Washington. The counsel for the defendants opposed the mo tion for continuance, contending that the United States had no right to hold the parties, as the ves sel was commissioned by a regularly organized Government—the Republic of Cuba. That she put in at Smithville in distress, and that it was con trary to the laws of nations to detain her. Com missioner Rutherford decided that it was a prima facia cese, and granted the Government until Monday llth instant, I o’clock, to produce wit nesses. Richmond, October s. —The Legislature con vened at noon with a full attendance iu the House. Temporary organization was effected, with Wm. Laughlin, of Rockbridge, Speaker, and H. G.

Richmond, October 6.—ln the House, to-day, two resolutions that the iron-clad oath be now ad ministered to members and temporary officers of the House, were referred to the proper commit tee, when it shall be appointed. A protest, adopted by Republican caucus last night, was presented. It is formed with a view of answering Attorney General Hoar's argument, and protests against any acts of the Legislature at this session, the members not having taken the iron clad oath, and the body being therefore illegal. It was referred. The following nominations were made for Speak er: Zephaniah Turner, of Rappahannock; L. T. Maddox, of Chesterfield, and John B. Crenshaw, of Richmond. Turner, w r iio was nominated by a i Conservative, obtained 87 votes. Maddox, nomi-j nated by a Wells Republican, obtained 41 votes, und Crenshaw 5. Turner was declared elected. In the discussion the point was pressed that Turner now has an application before Congress for the removal of his political disabilities, aud it was explained that though not able to take the test oath he was not disqualified by the 14th Amend ment. J. B. Bigger, the old incumbent, was elected Clerk. In the Senate the same protest of the Re publicans’ caucus was presented, and a resolution was adopted laying it on the table, on the ground that it was manifestly an effort to obstruct reconj struction aud was in plain opposition to the iuteu tion of Congress as expressed in the reconstruction acts, and in direct violation of the interpretation of said acts by the administration. A resolution was adopted informing the com manding General of the organization of the Senate. Adjourned. The House cho9e T. C. Crittenden sergeant at arms, and adjourned.

Wilmington, Uc oher o.— An entertainment on board the Cuban sloop-of-war Cuba, w r atteuded by a large number of ladies aud geutlemen this evening. No new developernents concerning the status of the Cuba, but the public mind here is unanimous in the opinion that she will be released soon, as the investigation caused her to he released by the Uni ted Slates authorities at Philadelphia, and by the British authorities at Halifax, and the fact that she : s a vessel of war, regularly commissioned by the Cuban Government, und not tilted out iu any United States port, seems conclusive that there is uo justification for her detention. Hon. George Davis, ex-Attorney General of the Confederate States, is one of the counsel for the Cubans. Richmond, Va., October 7. —In the Senate the protest of the Republican caucus against the legal ity of the body was taken up and read at length. It announces that the Republican members reserve to themselves the right at any time to secede from the present Legislature and organize by themselves the legal and loyal Legislature. The ejeuate voted to lay it on the table. During the discussion, a Republican said he re garded those who joined in making this protest as representing the Administration aud Congress, un til tho President aud Congress should decide oth erwise. It was announced that Gen. Canby bad replied to the committee of the Legislature, which waited on him, that he had no communication to make. Gov. Walker sent iu his message. Os the Fif teenth Amendment, he says : “The people of this Commonwealth at the late election, by an over whelming majority, accepted and adopted the principle sought to be incorporated into tbe Fed eral Constitution by this Amendment, viz: The civil und political equality of all men before the law. The well known honor and integrity of the people of Virginia forbids even the supposition that they would fail to faithfully adhere to, and maintain, while necessary and possible, any princi ple to which they had yielded their adherence. He considers the electing of Senators clearly a requisite to admissiou, and adds, complete resto ration is accomplished by admission to represents tiou in Congress, and there can be no question that admission to representation may to some ex tent depend upon the representatives elected. While the election of Senators would fully com plete every preparation necessary for the prompt admission of the State to representation to both Houses of Congress, the eleetiou of suitable men tor these exalted positiocs would unmistakably demonstrate the sincerity of our past action and afford a sure guarantee of our intentions and pur poses for the future. The caucus of tha Conservative members of the Legislature to-night, resolved to adopt the Four teenth and Fifteenth Amendments at once. In joiut committee on the Governor’s message, a proposition by Snowdon, of Alexandria, to add a bill passing* the Fifteenth Amendment clause, showing that it was done because requisite to the admission of the State, was rejected—only two of the committee voting in favor of it. To-morrow an amendment will be offered iu the House to make the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment conditional to the admission of the State.

The water in the Penobscot has risen to its highest spring mark. The booms are broken aud millions of feet of logs have goue by the city. A large gang of men having been sent do *n after them, it is hoped that most of them will be picked up. Richmond, October S.—Both Houses of the Legislature to-day ratified the 14th and 15th Amend ments. In the House there were only six votes against them, and iu tb« Senate only four against the 14th and two against the 15th; one of the latter beiug a colored Republican Senator, who declined voting because the Legislature is illegal. The Legislature, by joint resolution, then ad ourned till October ISth. In the House an amendment to the bill passing the loth Amendment, making it take effect on and after the admission of the State to the Union, only, reached five votes. Iu the same body a resolution was offered that in view of any doubts expressed about the legality of this Legislature, it will, after admission to the Union, re-enact the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. Resolution referred. In the Senate to-day, before adjournment, a reso lution was offered pledgiug the re-enactment of the two amendments after the admissiou of the State, and was pending when the Senate adjourned. It was opposed by i Conservative Senator ms cast -1 ing doubt ou the already pledged faifh of Virginia.

Jackson, Miss., October s*. —The Vicksburg Times of to-dav has the following telegram ad dressed to President Grant. It was sent from this city last evening.

The people wish a fair expression of the public will in the choice of Governor. The consummation of the Military Governor's avowed purpose, will render the elec tion a cheat and a national degradation. [Signed.] a. C. Fisk, Chm’n Nt'l Union Rep'n State Ex'e Com.

BURKE & CO. Ayer s Sarsaparilla A compound remedy, designed to m tr.a most effectual Alterative that can be made. It is a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an effec tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to cure. It is believed that tuch a remedy is wanted by those who suffer from Strumous complaints, and that one which will accomplish their cure must prove of immense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found of the following complaints; Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints, Eruptions and Eruptive Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Af fections, Mercurial Disease, Dkopst, Neu ralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility, Dys pepsia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Ress or St. Anthony’s Fire, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from Impurity o* THE BIOOR Tliis compound will be found a great health, when taken in the spring, to expel -'the foul humors which fester in the blood nt that season of the year. By the time ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores; clennse it when you find it is ob structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it whenever it is foal, and your feelings will tell you when. Even w here no particular disorder is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for cleansing tbe blood. Keep the omnfl healthy, and all is well; but with this pabulum ot me uisoraerea, mere . v. „„ lasting health. Sooner or later something mint go wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. Sarsaparilla lias, and deserves much, the reputation of accomplishing these ends." But j the world hns been egrcgiously deceived by preparations of it, partly because the drug alone has not all the virtue that is claimed ! for it, but more because many preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts of it, contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else. Dining late years the public nave been mis led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa rilla, but often no curative properties whatev er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extraots of Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still i we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground for believing it lias virtues which are irresistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend ed to cure. In order to secure their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle. PREPARED BY DR. J. C. AYER & CO. LOWELL, MASS.

WOMAN’S BEST FRIEND! ) fIYHIS valuable Medicine is prepared for WOMEN X exclusively, and to be used by women oniy. It is adapted especially to those cases where the womb is disordered, aud will cure any irregularity In the “menses.” except in such cases as require a surgical operation. As these last are very rare, the F* e iii ale R emulator Is of almost universal application. In a sudden check of the “monthly courses” from cold, trou ble of mind or like cause, it acts like a chann, by restoring the discharge in every instance, thus re lieving the fever, headache, pain in the small of the back and “lower stomach,” flushes of heat about the face, chilly sensations, burning of the i eyelids, and general restlessness. Taken in time, all of these symptoms pass away immediately, without injury to the constitution. Frequently, [however, the proper remedy is not applied in time, the disease becomes chronic, and the foundation i laid for numberless evils to the constitution of I woman. The next “turn comes around and there :is no “show,” or perhaps the “whites” will ap pear. There will be some uneasiness about the womb, but very little or none of the natural fluid escaping. The complexion becomes sallow, bow ; els swollen, a sort of greenish caste about the face, constant dull, aching pains iu tbe head, weight in 1 the lower stomach and back, with or without whites, palpitations of the heart, pallor, exhaus tion, indigestion, weariness, lau;or, aching across the loins, loss of appetite, paiu in left breast, tightness across the chest, cough and giddiness. ! li still allowed to go on, “green sickness” will be i fully developed; the headache becomes severe, j with loss of memory, diminished flensimuw 'Stomach, dyspepsia, no relish for food, loss of flesh, An»t.erlfu t ttWotliug Os the j feet, legs and body, and occasional spitting of j blood. I Tbe sllghest effort causes hurried breathing al most to suffocation. The skiu is flabby, aud has a | “doughy feel.” ! This is a sad picture, but it is the condition of | thousands of women between the ages of fifteen uud forty five, who are brought to the grave by ig norance, or neglect to take the proper remedy. To all who are afflicted with any of the symp toms above mentioned, in connection with ah ir regularity of the “monthly sickness,” we earnest ! lv say, take DR. J. BRADFIELD’S FEMALE REGULATOR. ; A few ounces taken, you will at once experience its benefit, and with’a little patience you will be - fully restored to health. ] This remedy has been extensively used for up ward of twenty years by many of the most experi enced and successful physicians In Georgia. No i family should be without two or three bottles, i We' repeat, that Dr. J. BKADFIELD’S FEMALE I REGULATOR is prepared for women, uud tube j used by women only, j A trial is all we ask.
