Some of the money belonging to miser James Henry Paine, who recently died in squalor on Bletck er street, is turi ing up. In Oc tober, 1861, Paine took to the Metropolitan National Bank a draft for $52,500 drawn by a Chi cago bank. Ho received in ex change for it 112,500 in cash and four certificates of deposit of $lO - each. The Metropolitan bank is now in course of liquidation. Yester day one of the administrators of Paine s es.ate presented the cer- I ilicates and got the $40,000. The administrators never would have known of the existence of the money if the bank officials bad not imparted the infoimalion; The certificates did not drawn. If they did the interest alone by compounding would have added $200,000 to the amount. Paine used to come 10 the bunk once in awhile and ask ; “Is this the A/etropol itan hank? “Yes,” the doorman would say “Do you think it ia safe?” Paine woo hi ark. “Yes,’ the doorman would any. Thereupon Paine would go away without another word. Though Paine was known to have possessed vast sums of mon*. ey in his lifeiinac—a million or more—the amount brought o 1 ght yesterday is the first trace that, has been fo.nd of liis wealth So sedulous was he in caring for his wealth that liis burial as a pauper on last Chris!mas day was because it was supposed he was not worth enough 10 provide a decent bund. He wrote brilliant and biting musical and dramatic critisisms for daily newspapers, but he was so umkempt that managers of the places ot amusement wouhl not tolerate him in a seat alongside /idy people. He would hasten out at the close of an ent rtain ment ami follow some acquaints iiDce to a restaurant, and taking a seat near b(g for the pieces of bread find meat ihat were left. It has bfen said by persons lfr.otving him that he scarcely spent more than $25 a year in food. He begged his living of poisons who took pity on him be eauso they thought him wretched ly poor. He had a garret in a house cn Canal street before ta king the miserable room on Bleeck er street. The man who rented it to him said that he slept therein the most bitterly cold weather wi-h no fire and no covering. He hugged the chimney like a baif trozeo animal. Yet all this time he was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and his writings were bringing him euouSh to keop him in com fort. James H, Boody, Paine’s old banker, has no doubt that ser was woith in the neighbor hood of $500,000. On a single occasion he paid Paine $330,000, and the old man took the money away uni.er his tattered coat. He was In constant terror lest people should think him rich, ami was continually on his guard to keep up the impression that he was poverty stricken. In a business transno'iou one day Paine took a person to a house on Fifth avenue, where a mau, in obedience to tha miser’s command, delivered over a lot of bonds. This persoD cannot re member the location of the house, otherwise it might be the means, possibly, of revealing the hidden place of Paine’s wealth. Seared for the house was re newed on the discovery of the certificates of deposit in the Me tropolitan bank, and the inquiry will now be pushed with greater vigor, as it is hoped that clews aan be found that will disclose the concealed riches. The person who went with Paine to the Fifth avenue house sai 1 the inaD, who seemed to be Paine’s business agent, bad as much as $1,000,000 in securities. —N. Y. Journal. J. 3J.

LIGHT AND SPIRITS. We have hesitated foi Borne days to give the following partic ulars to the public, Anything like notoriety would be dibtas’eful to the parties concerned, and with out calling mimes the marvelous is apt to be iucreditable. But we give only plaiu facts well known to most regulable people in Pal atka, aud they present so many il itubbling features that we cannot resist the temptation to make them public Four winters ago a gentleman in feeble health visited onr city and secured a room at a house that shall be nameless. He was carefully nursed but gradually pined away until he seemed only skin and bone. Under the treat-, rnent of his physician he lay for several days in a comatose state, and, while so weak that he could scarcely turn his head, tho boat ing of his heart could bo distinct ly heard at the distance of sevora foet off. He sank gradually and expired. Since tuen he house his changed hands several times and was occupied by a new tenant quite recently Tli6 same c am ber-maid, however, remained, and she avers t' at whenever she is alone in the room she can still hear the fearful beating of that “lellitale heart.” However, sue has said nothing, and declares that she knew the noise could in no way Lurt her, while cus.om has made her almost needless of the slight but distinct sounds- But duriDg the past week there have been developments which compel attention- The room in question has been occupied by three young ladies whe have never heard of any supernatural manifes tations connected with the house, and who, at the time, did not know that anvnne Imd died in t , ““- pariicnlartment. Under these circumstances it sceais impossible to believe wbat they saw could be credited to fancy or highly wr ught dreams, Yet they i nve been disturbed by tho occurence of phenomena which seems to con nect <hem«elves ims sdbly with the death of 'he poor suflc-ier who once languished and died so strangely within those four walls. Ou the first oc jaeir.n they had just retired and were discussing some light gossip of the day when a hal 1 of light arose from the fioor hovered U6ar their faces foi a moiueui, ascended to the ceiling and disappeared. All distinctly aver that the appearauce was ac companied by no heat, and that it was no dream or fanciful decep tion is attested by the fact that three parsons at the same time saw it, and they had sufficient presence cf miud to discuss it calor'y aud one even approached her hand to the light and the move ment was seen by the other two. The blinds wete closely drawn so that tie agency of a magic lantern contrivance from without was im possible and the door was locked; While the light floated in the room they henid distinctly a sound like the mu filed but intensely clear pul salinu of an over burdened heart. On another occasion the light rose slowly from the floor, ascen ded about six feet, and eut of it came gradually tlie effulgent like ness of a human faes, thin to emac ination, wearing a mournful ex pression and covered by a full but short, gray beard. 1/ disappeared suddenly, but the same distincl beating ot the heart was plainly heard. These young ladies feel no fear that they are menaced by i erson al danger, but the strain to tbeir nerves has become too great and they will take another room. Whether the appearances have a supernatural origin, ars painted on thin air by the too poient dreams of excited feelings, ormsy be attributed to some mischievous or malicious human source, we cannot as yet determine- But the character of the parties forbid auy thought of collusion on their part, and we are compelled to awa’t de velopment promised by some gen tletneu who have taken the matter in hand, —Palatka, Fla., News- A club of female baseballisis ate playing in the small towns of the tate- THE FKHI TING EDITOR. The champion fighting ediior of the country lives at Albuquer que, N. M. As the story goes, eleven citizens of the variety Known as “roughs” came to the conclusion a short ago that, it was their duty, in the interest of law and order aud Ihe purity of she ballot- box, to take the editor out and hang him. Now, our Al buquerque journalist lived alone in a log cabin, consisting of one rot m with a cellar underneath. His only companion, a pet griz z'y bear, occapied tbo ci liar. Ou the night when the editor had good muons to expect a visit from the reformers, he retired to the collar and left the upper room to (he grizzly. At the hour of midnight eleven stalwart men ar rived with a rope. They battered down the door aud rushed in, eager for the fray They had no light, but they rushed agaiust their man, as*hey supposed For an editor he showed unusual pluck and strength. He went for the lynchers with such activity that the fight was soon over, Ik the gray of the early morning three men turned up in Albuquer que, each with nu eye missing l . One man called at the doctor’s office with one foot and three chew ed off. The remaining seven re formers were loafing around on the s'reob, more or lest mutilated When the alleged facts of the fra cas got out, the editor became the most popular man in ihe ter riloiy. His paper is doing a boom ing business, aod Ue can get any office be Maats. He still keeps the grizzly in the cellar, ready for an emergency. A NOBLE FOE. ‘lt was at the battle of Gettys burg,’ says an ex-soldier in the Chicago Herald, -and an incident occurred there which largely changed my views of the South* era peapie. I bad been a most bitter anti-Southern man, and fought and cursed them desper ately. I could see nothing good iu them. The last day of the fight l was badly wounded. A ball shattered my left leg. I lay on the ground not far from the Cem eter„ Ridge, and as General Lee ordered his Inst reltrat, lie and his officers came by me. As they came along I recognized him, and though faint from exposure and loss of blood, I raised up on my hands, looked General Lee in the face, and shouted as loud as 1 could, ‘f/urrah for the Union!’ Tho General heard me, looked, stopped his horse dismounted and came toward me. I confess that I at first thought he meant to kill me. Bat as he came up he looked down at me with such u sad expression upon his race that all fears left me, and I wondeied what he was about. He ext nded his hand to me, gr raped mine firm ly, and looking right into iny eyes, said: “ ‘My son, I hope yon will soon be well.’ ‘lf I live a thousand years, I shall never foigot the expression in General Lee’s face. Thera he was, defeated, retireing from a field that had cost him his cause, almost the last hope, and yet he stopped to say words like these to a wounded soldier of the opposi tion, who had taunted him as he passed by. As soon as the Gen eral left me, 1 cried myself to slevp there upon the bloody ground!’ CARE OF OUR TIJ E.

A BOY’S NARROW ESt’Al’E. Tm t welve-yeatsold son of Mr. VV. B Rhiner, who lives in Emans uel county, just across the hue of Johnson, and his father were plow ing in the same field not a great distance apart, when the horse the boy was plowing suddenly became frightened, aud commenced to run. The boy, in order to check the nnimal, wrapped the lines sev eral times around his wrists. The father's attmGon being ca'led to ibis he yelled to the lad to desist, in wrapping the lines around liis wti-ts, but ihe c< mmand came too late. The bor e dashed away at a rapid rate, carry ng the boy and plow after h'oi. After gouig a short d’slauce, neboy wjs thrown to the ground, w.ihthe lines tight ly drawn about his wris/f. The field was full of stumps and trees, which fpi t rondo’ed the boy's -on dition perilous : n the extreme. Remarkab'e to say, howewer, after dragging the boy hrongh and among the trees, his hea l and shoulders plowing the ground at every b >und, the distance of one hundred and fifty yards, he not on ly escaped death, but without the shghtest bruise orse-a'ch, with the exception of his Wrists, which were skinned from the tightly drawn lines. The clevis>pin to the plow became detached and 'he horse stopped running, and the boy was rescued as above stated. Next morning he was able to go to work as usual.—Wrigjitsville Recorder.

Cue was of an incident at Gettysburg, just befoie hia f’mous change, Pass ing neat the outskirts of his lines he came upon a child, onlv a half dozen yaarr or so of age, and haid ly yet old enough to speak plainly.

Wh6she saw G'enerr ’ //ancock she held the load n her arms a little higher and fairly ran into his arms cry. ing : ‘•My papa’s dead, but here’s my papa’s gun.” There was something like a tear in General Hancocd’s eye as he re cited this heroic little incident* “I never recall that brave chit of a child’s offering to our cause,” h A said, “without feelings of deepest reverence. Her half lisped words voiced asenliment that was sub lime.” —New York Times.
