| A Woman Alone In »
When the house is all alone by it
self, inexperienced persons may~be-
liev.o that it bebaves.exaotly as i^oes
when there are people, in it. M that
is a delusion, as yon will discover if
vo.1 are ever left alone in it at mid
night sitting up for the rest of the
family. At this boor its true dispo
sition will reveal itself.
To catch it at its best, pretend to
retire, put out the gas and go up
stairs. Afterwards come down slowly
and light no more than one lamp, go
into the empty parlor and seat your
self at a table with something to
read.
No sooner have you done so
than you will hear a chip, chip, along
the top of the room—a small sound,
but persistent. It is evidently the
wall paper coming oft and you de
cide, after some tribulation, that if it
does come off you can’t help it, and
go With your hook.
As yon sit with your book in your
hand jou begin to be quite sure that
some one is coming down stairs.—
Squeak—squeak—squeak 1 What fol
ly 1 There is nobody to come down;
but tfiere— no, it is on the kitchen
stairs. Somebody is coming up.
Squeak—snap I Well, it is a rob
ber, you might os well face him. You
get tbe poker and stand with your
back against the wall. Nobpdy comes
up. Finally, you decide that yon are
a goose, put tbe poker down, get a
magazine and try to read.
There, that’s the door. You beard
tho lock turn? They aro coming
home. You run to the back door,
unlock and unbolt it, and peep out.
Nobody tbero?
But, as yon linger, the door lock
gives a click that makes yon jump.
By daylight neither lock or stairs
make any of these noises unless .they
are touched or trodden on. '■'» ' *
You go back to the parlor in sher
ry, with a f|elingUi^f tbs next thipg
you know something may catch you
by the back hair, and you try to re
member where yog‘)eit off.
Now it is tbe table that MinpR and
cracks as if all the spiritualistic
knocks woro bidden in its mahogany.
You do not lean on it heavily without
this result, but it fidgets yon, and you
tako an easy chair and put the book
on vujur knees.
Yost oyes' wander tip and down’the
pages and yon grow dreamy, when
apparently tho booWaae fires off a
pistol.
At least, a lond fierce crock comes
from the heart of that picco of furni
ture—so loud, so fierce that you jump
to your feet, trembling.
You cannot stand tho parlor nny
more. You go up stairs.
No sooner do you get there than it
seems to you that somebody is walk
ing on tho roof. If the house is a de
tached one, aud the thing ip impossi
ble, that makes it all the more myste
rious.
Nothing ever moaned in the chim
ney botoro, but something moans
now, there is n ghostly step in the
bathroom. Yon find out afterwards
it is the tap dripping, but you do not
daro to look out that time.
And it is evident there is some
thing up the chimney—yon wonkl not
like to ask what.
If you have gas it bobs np and
down in a phantom dance. If you
have a lamp it goes ont in a bine ex
plosion. If you have a candle a
shroud plainly enwraps tho wick and
fall towards you.
Tho blinds shako ns if a band
clutched them; and, finally, a doleful
Oat begins to moan in the cellar. Yon
do not keep a cat, ami this finishes
yon.
Yon pretend lo read no longer, and
sitting with a towel over your head
utul fare, an-! hearing something be
low go “shew, shew, shew,” like a lit
tle saw, you believe in the old ghost
stone*.
T> n minutes hd<r tbe bells ring;
tlm belated ones come home; the
lights are lit; pe-lmps somalhing niu-t
be got .out to eat. People talk aud
!•!! where they have lx*. u and ad; i:
And not a stair cracks. No step is
heard on tbe roof, no click to tbe
front door. Neither book-case nor
table oracks. Tbe bouse bas on. its
comply manners—only yon have
found ont bow it behaves when it is
alone.

We have met tbe enemy and—we
are his’n. We have made onr re
marks, and we are now ready to lis
ten to tbe gentlemen from New York.
We could have dug out, perhaps, and
explained about New York, but when
almost every State in tbe Union rose
np and made certain statements yes
terday, we found that tbe job of ex
plaining this matter thoroughly
would be wearisome and require a
great deaj of time.
We don’t blame tbe Democracy for
this. We are a little surprised, how
ever, and grieved. It will interfere
with our wardrobe thift winter. With
an overcoat on Wyoming, a plug hat
on Iowa, a pair of pantaloons on
Pennsylvania and boots on the gen
eral result, it looks now os though we
would probably go through tbe win
ter wrapped in a bed quilt and pro
found meditation.
We intended to publish an extra
this morning, bat* the news was of
Bach a character that we thought we
could get along without it. Wbat
was tbe use of publishing an extra
with a Republican majority only in
Red Buttes?
The cause of this great Democratic
freshet in New York yesterday—but
why go into details ? We all have an
idea why it was so. The number of
votes would seem to indicate that
there was a tendency toward Democ
racy throughout the State.
Now, in Pennsylvania, if you will
look overlthe returns carefully—but
why should we take up your valua
ble time offering an explanation of a
political matter of tho past?
Under the circumstances some
would go and yield to the soothing
influences of the maddening bowl,
but we do not advise that. It would
qpjy furnish temporary relief, and the
recoil would be unpleasant.
We resume our arduous duties with
a feeling of eptreme euniii, uud with
that sense of, surprise and astonish
meat that a mau does who has had a
large brick block full on him when be
w.is not expecting it. Although we
feel a little lonely to-day—having met
but a few Republicans on tho street,
who were obliged to come ont and do
their marketing—wo still hope for the
future.
The grand old Republican party
but that’s wbat we said lust week. It
souuds holiow now and tueauingh
somehow, because our voice is a little
bourse, and we nre now snowed under
so deep that it is difficult fur us to
enunciate.
Now about those bets. If tho par-
tie , to whom wo owe bets—and we
owe most everybody—will just agree
to take the ntukes and not go into de
tails, not stopjto ask ns about the state
of our mind, and talk about how it
Was done, wo don’t care. Wo dou’t
wish to have this thing explained at
all. Wo are not of an inquiring turn
of mind. Jnst plain facts are good
enough for us, without nny harrowing
detnils. In the meantime we are go
ing to work to earn somo more mon
ey to bet on the next election. Judge
Folger and others, come over and sett
ns when you have time and we will
talk this matter over. Mr. B. Butler,
we wish we had your longevity. With
a robust constitution we find that
most nny man can wear out cruel fate
and get there at last. We do not
feel so angry ns wo do griovod and
surprised. We aro pained to seo tho
American people thus betray our con
fidence and throw a large wardrobe
into the hands of the relentless foe.
