The writer waa prer^ t a evenings ago when
the subject o! gbo^tg and spirit manifestations waa
being discussed, g* »jj e home of Mr. Alonzo Lyon,
on Jones avenue, near tho.Third Baptist church In
this city. Tho Noises and apparitions reported laat
fall as beln^ g 3 frequent and annoying at the
house on Jackson street, Atlanta, were talked of.
Mr, I:yon expressed unbelief In theauperaatursl
and thought there was no such thing u
gho'rtf, or manifestation* of disem-
txjdled spirit* vldble to the hu
man eye. He said he had fr* q rently halted alone
at night, for about a half hour, Just In t'he edge of
a graveyard which he had to pa*a, lu order to see a
ghost if one should appear, but he had never been
rewarded with the sight of anything unuaual at
such times. However, he had certainly heard
noises In one locality and bad seen a vision of light
In another place which would cause people less
skeptical than he waa to think they bad seen and
beard tbe genuine article of ghosts. He had not
been able to find natural causes for them—still he
believed that such causes existed.
Hla alater resides inahsusa la Atlanta, which
was built by himself aud since she has been living
there, during several months, a visitor could bo
beard to open the gate, walk up on the steps, turn
the bolt, open the door aud walk heavily into the
house, directly past the members of the family,
Including Mr, Lyon and his mother when they
were present. Still no one was visible, although
diligently searched for Inside aud outside the
houae. Again in one room of the houae which
was not celled or plastered overhead, very loud
knocking would be frequently
heard juat underneath the shin,
gies, and do visible cause for
the noise could be found. These visits and rap-
pings occurred at all hours of the night, and were
witnessed night after night by neighbors as well as
by bis own family. Tbey suddenly ceased and
havo not agalu bean repeated, but the mystery
ha* never been explained. Bo much lor "spirit
rspolugs."
The strangest experience of bis life, he said, had
been wiuie*s*:d Ly him from childhood until the
apparition had become familiar. It was also wlt-
uiased for a long series of years by tbe chlsras of
the neighborhood,aud consequently, hardly regard
ed aaauytblug uuusual. Yet as tho description
will show It was lurpa-alugly strange. It is called
"JUDK S LIGHT,"
and is still visible to any who are curious enough
to vUlt the scene of Us wanderings and watch for
It, as la proven by the note from Mr.* McWilliams
lu reply to an lnqul ry from Mr. Lyon as to whether
it was still vlsibiu.

Mr. Lyou was raised in DeKalb county, Ga„ four
miles from Lithonla, and about thlncou miles
from Atlanta, one half mile from Macedonia
Baptist church on the Btoue mouu*
tain aud Flat Shoals road. It was lu the quiet rural
hamlet, on the fatm formerly owned by his grand
father, Edmund Bunt, dccoaaed, then after ‘Ll*
death, bought by Mr. L's brother ln-law. Mr. Hart
mau, aud now owned by Mr. David MoWllliams,
that "Jude's light" makos It regular appearance.
About forty years ago a man named Reid owned
the farm, and he also owped a negro woman by
tho name of Jude. Reid had Jude punished l)r
some offense by placing her in ctoso confluemelt
aud ou very short rations. Mr. Lyoa'a
mother, who now resides with him, was
a young girl, and says she remembers sllppiug
some food to poor Jude, and will never forgot tho
eagerness with‘which the famished woman
voured it. Jude finally died, It waa believed, fr<
Geikkill Is tbe pioneer temperance city of Iowa
Thirty years ago a few families fettled on the
Grlnnell tract and went to work to build up a
town. The owner of tbo land incorporated a pro
vision In every deed to tbe effect that any lot on
which liquor was sold fbould revert to the first
owner or bis heirs. There has never been a rever
sion, and never a saloon in the place, and no holder
of real estate hss ever been known to favor the
sale ot spirits. Tbe town now hss between 3,000
and 4,000 people, three railways and mannfactnr
log Industries which employ several hundred men
of various nationalities and every shade
rellslous and political belief. There
is no desire to change the present
order of things because taxes are low, real estate
advancing, and a good class of people come to the
place. There are five churches. Of the inhabitants
from firxt to last not one ever went to Jail, to prtsi
on or to the poor bouse. The cyclone oi 1882
destroyed all the colleges, 100 dwellings and
lives, but there has neen a full recovery from the
effects of one of tbe most disastrous storms
record. Grlnnell enjoys an enviable reputation
for good order, enteiprise and prosperity. The
temperance people may well be proud of It, and
after thirty years It can hardly be called an expert
menu It is an accomplished fact.
A mew system .of telegraph# has been tried in
Boston. The musical system of notation Is employ<
ed. Justs* the pitch of a half note is determined
by tbe bar in which It occurs, so a telegraphic
cnar&cter is by this method given six different
meaulngs, according to the styles through which
is sent and the position in which it la recorded.
The bus ot the staff are ruled by an Instrument
which makes a red line on the receiving strips
they move forward, a constant current from a local
battery beiag passed through them for this pur
pose. When a message is to be sent by hand
keys are used at the transmitting stations, cacn
corresponding to a stylus at a receiving station,
one key pivoted to swing easily over six contact
points may be employed. The speed of transmist
»lon Is double that by the Morse system.
The island of New Guinea contains about as
much surface aa Texas, Pennsylvania and South
Carolina, or Great Britain and France. Although
known by navigators early in the sixteenth cen
tnry, the island was not thoroughly explored until
1826-30. The south coast is a flat mangrove covered
country, watered by numerous streams flowing
from the inland mountains. Along the eastern
and western coasts the island is hilly with precipi

A correspondent writing from the Indian Terrt
tory calls attention to tbe English aud Scotch sur
names of many Cherokecs, These Indians camo
by their names aa honestly as the proudest Anglo
Saxon in the land. Tne names of Russ, Adair,
Vann, McCoy, Duncau, McLachlan, McNair, and
others, are household words among the Cherokee*.
Tbey were«all honostly derived from Scotch ancos
tors. At tbe close of the revolutionary war the
founders of these names among the Cherokee* were
proscribed ostracised torles who were compelled
to abandon home and country, and who sought
refugo among the friendly Cherokee*, then living
la Georgia. To their credit be It sold, they were
moral, religious men. They married one Chero*

Soon after the burial, ' 'Jude's Light" appeared
emanating from the grave and wandered about the
house and premises, at all hours of th* night. Tnis
light" manifested to much intelligence,aud struck
auen terror into the hearts of the Reid family, that
tboy sold all their possessions and hastily left the
stato ol Georgia. Tho "light" ha* continued to
ap piar frequently from that time to this, but never
scemtd to Inspire terror and ua9aslnesa lo the
breasts of others, nor visit the dwelling often. After
Kdmurnt Buut, grandfather of Ur. Lyon

In the middle statee since 1874 farmlog lands

depreciation to not dae to any general and heavy
fall in the prlcee of farm products. The explana
tion given by s recent writer to that the taxes lev
led by the general government since the war are
vastly heavier than they were beforetbe war. As
the burden of all taxation falls ultimately on pro
ductive Industry, Itfollows that land, which Is the
foundation ol this lndus'ry, must fall In value aa
the tax burden Is made heavier, and rise In price
whenever this burden is made lighter.

Thx future of wheat raising Is attracting atten
tion. Within a few years American farmers will
have to meet strong competitlon.ln tbs grain mar
kets of the old world. We mast now admit that
India esn produce enough wheat to seriously af
fect prices In America. Already with a crop 85,000,
0 0 bushels short the price of wheat has gone
cents below that of the lime when onr wheat crop
waa the largest ever known. In future when
Egypt, India and central Africa pour their wheat
into Ihe markets the fatmers of this country will
ahsndon all hope of profitable competition. The
American farmer must now adept methods of farm
ing which will make him comparatively Independ
ent of the wotld’s wheat market. Tho lesson taught
by the East India experiment with wheat Is enough
to open onr eyes, and now that England to prepar

A Stirring Indicate
From the Rome, Ua., Courier.
Laughable inetdeuu attending the flood continue
to crop out as the people get over their scare. Mr.

of gentlemen, among them Captain Cain Glover,
Mr 1D. Ford, Mr Ben Uughra aud Mr T. F.
Howell were standing about midway of the fo t
asaageontbe Broad strvet bridge, wa;chlug ihe

.the gentlemen on the
bridge. Crash! crash! weutth* tree as it dashed
under the bridge, causing every timber in tbe
structure to tremble from the shock. At the sound
of tbe fint eras*) it is unntcosary to state that the
dhcasslou between the party of gentlemen
came to an abrupt termination, and
eech one of the party Jet out for the
shore, as if they were running for the United
rttates championship. Tbe agility with wblch
they manipulated their legs was wonderful to be

There were a thousand of us down bshind the
earthworks, aud we were so quiet that the voice of
the colonel reached tbe last men on the flinks as he
cautioned us: "My lads, we are going to hold this
position against a whole army J"
Bee! A thfu Hueofmea—skirmisher*to Che num
ber of fifty—suddenly break cover from the wooae
half a milo away and advance upon us. They
skulk—they doijc—they drop dowu and suddenly
rlre again and advance as steathily as Indians In
tent upon surprising a hamlet. Bah! Fifty men
aaalust 1.000! No. ft is not that. The octopus Is in
the wood-:— hese skirmishers are the long arm* he
Is reaching out to feel us—lo uncover our position
—to ascertalu our strength.
"Puff! Puff!"
It Is the fire of the skirmishers. You know where
the watch dog Is by his growl. They are trying to
provoke the beast to betray his retreat. Zip! Zip!
How the bulleta sing as they fly over our heads!
There Is dead silence behind the
works. We breathe farter and harder
—we clutch our guns with tighter grip, but
we arertleut To kill an octopus you must strike
at the body. Sever his arm) aud they will grow
again.
"Pop! pop! pop! Zip! zip! zip!"
"Steady, lads, and wait for the word!" says the
colonel.
There Is no excitement among us. I hear the
m«n on my right shut his teeth with a gritting
sound, and the one on my left is breathing like a
weary manta profound slumber. If I should look
up aud down the line I might see pale faces, but
I am looking down across the fields and over the
heads of the skirmishers. The grandest sight of
the world Is to see the octopus of war leave hi*
air and come forth thirsting for human blood.
Ah! hero he comes! His feelers have failed to
uncover us, but he can judge for himself that such
a short line of works canuot conceal more than a

Now they get the word to advance, and at the
same instant our field pieces open fire The crac!
shell are striking plump Into the front rank and
tearing men to pieces by the half-dozen, but as the
smoke lift* we find the Octvpus mtrchlng ou with
• eady movement. Ho wa its blood. He will de
mand drop for drop—and more! Ha! The shriek
of shell has changed to the whistle of grape and
canister, aud the men at tho guns are working te
ll the fate of nations depended upon them. The
smoko drops down ta a great cloud, and one cannot
see beyond hts beyonet. Now it is rent and shat-
tered.and It lifts and floats away in great piece*
and fragments.
"Now lads—and flro low!”
The Octopus ha* been staggered—wounded—
halted-but here he comes again. Right in front
of me I see a face and form which I select a* a.
target. I could kill him now, but I grimly wait for
him to come nearer. He Is pale with excitement,
and as the manat bis left Is struck down, my target
loses tho steady step of the line. But only for an In

break to- morrow. He has sisters who will refuse to
be comforted for long month* And suoh a fair-
faced boy must have a sweetheart whose very soul
will cry out ta anguish at the news of his death.
I am going to kill him! The excltemant of the
check has confused him. He looks to tbe right and

and I read au appeal for mercy In his. The result

The war will not be over tho sooner for

and press 'he trigger, and even before I feel the
shock of discharge I see the red blood spray out

shriek upon hla lips
The Octopus is beaten bark I go-over the worka
and find my target. Those browu curls are damp
with death—the fair faco as whfto as snow—the
ground soaked wi h blood so pn clous that every
drop will call for a huudred tear) from women's
eyes. The blue ejes are wide open, the lips are
parted, aud as I bend over him it seems as If hi*

clamation: Murderer!
