Mr. Arnet is a large real estate owner, a wealthy man. an old resident, and well known in Cincinnati. Rheumatism is a Disease of the Blood. The blood in th • disease, is found to contain an eg* cess of fibrin. VRGETINE acts by converting fhf blood from its diseased condition to h healthy circa* iation. One bottle of Vegetine will give relief; but* to effect a permanent cure, it must be taken regular ij. and may take sever, bottles, especially in cases or long standing. Try u, and your verdict will be the same as that of thousands before you, who say, “ I never found sp much relief as from the use of VEG ETINK, ” which is composed exclusively of barks* roots and herbs.

Every - bo y on the dock viewed with wonder be approaching spectacle. The ship moved closely to her berth, and pres ently her yard-armes neared those of several other vessels lying at the dock. In an instant the monkeys leaped from one to another, and began a tour among the forest ot masts that fringed the harbor of Liverpool. Ail tbe boys aod idlers around the dock wete en gaged, and a grand hunt ensued, up and down the riggins from ship to ship, all over the harbor. They were finally captured. The owner was furious, but was, after awhile, molitied and tho difficulty satisfactorily adjusfed. The monkeys were gradually sold off, realizing a profit if about ten pounds (SSO) above all costs.

In the first pintle, I do not believe in ghosts at all, and I am not a ner vous woman, afraid of my own shad ow, and I do not give heed to sttjier , natural things. Therefore I cannot explain what I am about to relate.— If any one who may road tins can, I shall be glad to hear the ex planation. In the hitter part of April, 1872, before sailing for Europe, I made a Stay of a few days at the Metropoli tan Hotel in New York. I was as signed to room 292, on the second floor. I had dined and had written a little in the evening. Finally I left off work and sat down by the fire, and as I sat there I noticed particu larly the disposition of the furniture in the room and the room itself, As that has a direct bearing bearing on my mind, I will briefly describe it. The room wa*~long and narrow, any at tile end nearest the main hall had a curtained alcove for a bed. By making this alcove, a narrow hall was formed, w f hich opened into the main hall. There were two doors to this little hall, one opening into the outside eorrider and the other into my ioortt. There Wete two smull transoms, one over each door. Di rectly facing the door was a large French window, opening Into the street. A little iron railing passed in front of it outside. The fire place was by the side of the window. Just back of where I sat, on the right side of the room as you entered, there were n large wardrobe and a entail drab reps lounge. On the left side of the room was a sta tionery washstand, anti next to that a bureau. The gas was just over this washstand. A few chairs and a mar ble-top table completed the furniture. I had been writing, as I said, and to have sufficient light had rolled the little table over close against Ihe washstand, and had covered it with manuscript and photographs. I had not been reading anything to give rise to bad dreams, hail eaten a mod erate dinner. was in supurb health, and my writing had been common place correspondence. At about 11 o’clock I went to bed, after having locked the two doors and lowered the gas. I went to sleep immediately, after my usual habit, and t.ad slept I do not know how long. I woke Up With a start and a cold feeling of Terror. I sat straight up in bed. My room was brillant.ly lighted and I saw that the marble ta ble had been cleared of the manu script, and had been drawn over to the side of the lounge, while the easy chair in which I had been sit ting had been placed opposite tl e lounge. Two men were seated there playing Cards. I just sat and looked at them, nof knowing what to do or say. They had evidently mistaken the room, I thought, and yet, to save my life, 1 could not have spoken or moved. 1 noticed that the man on the sofa was slender and apparently in delicate health. He had red hair ; red beard all over his face. He was dressed in gray clones. I noticed that his left hand seemed to be somewhat miss hapen nCar the wrist, as if it had been hurt at some time. His face was marked with extreme sensibility, and he had small features. The other man was, physically, his opposite. He was large, of fine physi que, very dark complexion, w ith very thick, short black Lair, and a drooping black moustache, His eye brows were very heavy, and had snort, thick hairs that stood s raight out, making them look like wo grea black caterpillars. Ilis cheeks aud chin seemedtohave been newly slav ed, yet the beard showed through the skin with afa nt bluish tinge. He had.a little three-cornered scar near the right corner of Ids mouth. He j was dressed in black, and wore an emerald pin. Those who know me best knew i that fear is not one of my eomponen' a: ' yet 1 must confess that I felt a sen sation very like it. They Were play ing euchre, and soon there arose adis spute. I heard no words, yet from | their angry looks and gestures I saw I that they were quarreling. Suddenly the darker mnr drew along knife and plunged it Into the left breast of the 1 man on the sofa. lie quivered a lit VOL. XIV. —NO 12 •le and then lay still. The other stood looking at him for a moment. Then took the dead man’s right hand and clasped it around the handle of the knife, bracing the elbow against the table; Mien cooly gathered up the cards and, putting them in hr* pocket, took Op a black hat and went out. 1 turned to look at the dead man j he, too, had disappeared, and the room Was dark. 1 tried to think I had the night mare, Jiid my head under the bed clothes, aud at last went to sleep again. On arising in the morning I found the marble table standing by the lounge, the arm chair beside it, and till my papers on the bureau by the window. This made a great impress ion on me fora time,but a multiplicity ot occupations during the day and visits from friends obliterated all membrance of it. Yet when I Went to bed that night, it was only to be awakened by the same horror, to see the same tragedy enacted, and to find the table misplaocdln the morn ing as before. The third night T took the table over by the window, placed Jail the articles upon i> that it would hold, and left rite gas turned on full; but it was the same. I was again the unwilling witness of the tragic scene. The fourth night l began to real ly dread the vision, or whatever it was, and called the chambermaid. Her first, Came, 1 remember, was Kat e. I asked her to stay with me that night, but she said it was not permitted. I then told her J wanted her to pile all the chairs she could make stand on the table and wash stand, so that they could not be re moved without some force. It was all the same. The chairs were on ttie floor in their places in the morn ing, and the table over by the lounge. I realy felt frightened now and sent word ilown to the offloe'to Mr. Adams he clerk. He came up. I asked him if any murder had ever been commit ted in the room. He declared most unequivocally that thoto had not.— He said that the'only tradegy of any kind that ever hail’, happened) m the hotel was tie suicide of a sink man who had come there from the South and had killed himself, as they sup posed, in a flt of despondency. Ho could not tememb-jr how the man looked. Therefore so many comiog and going that lie could not remem ber peop'o. I told him he must give me another room, which ho did that nfterncon. As Katie, the ch am harm aid, helped ine to change apartments, she lookod as if she understood something. 1 asked her if she had ever heard at y tiling regarding that room, and she told me that sho never .had hut cnco during the two] years *h) had been there. There had been an invalid tady there with her husband, and she declared she saw terrible things and could nut be persuaded to remain iu the room after the third night, all though tier I usband had \een nothing whatever. As for me, tl so ia tot mottoy enough iu New York to hire me to sleep in that room again. I some how feel as if I was going to meet that visionary assassin in the flesh • hough I cannot ..ccount for the im pression any mote thah I can for tho strango but strictly true story I. have related.
