REGISTER'S NOTICE. REGISTER'S KOTICE. Ii.V,t NTEI. A. True Story of Devonshire ConntTy House.

It would la almost imf ossiblQ to discover acyouo raore entirely devoid of upp rstition than myself. Nevertheless Tvlien I was seventeen years old, an event happfiied which Caused mo to believe mine a aunted life. I vas staying in Paris at tho Louse of irty guardian, JSir Charles and dressing for my' llrst ball a ball at tho American Legation. My dieijs, a. tiiurmh of Parisian taste, Lad been faUnod, and I stood before tLe giat while my maid arranged the fiOwei8 in my hair.

A splendid bortqriet lay beside my gloves and fan upon tho ilet table. "Ab, rvr, mademoiselle is beautiful!" exclaimed my inaiJ, Justine, in French, as she fctepped back to survey her work admiringly. I blushed with pleasure. It was the firtt compliment that had been paid me, and my glass tcJd.me it was true. wonder who sent these ilowers I laid, taking up the bouquet preparatory to leaving the room.

'Mademoiselle will doubtless discover her admirer among her partneis tonight," wa3 the girl's reply. At this moment there was a knock (lie door. A telegram was handed to me. "Mrs. Northcote is dangerously ill, and fishes to tee her Etepdaughter before she dies." I dropped the paper upon the floor.

"Bring me a railway guide quickl' I There, in the old between tho and the moor.ligbt, appeared the ace 1 'George," I whispered, trembling, "wake! I feel so frightened." "What is it, Nina? Have you eecn a ghost?" he inquired lightly. "IlushI Look there." liaising himself upon his elbow he obeyed. "Why, there 13 a woman in the room!" he excltimed, in the greatest consternation. Then, after, pausing a few moments, he continued slowly and deliberately as though reading by a bad light from a book. "Nol.

it is only an illusionbut what an illusion! I seem to see most distinctly a beautiful woman. Tier head turned this way is supported by her hand. Uer hair a bright auburn hangs loose about her shoulders. It is a handsome face but sorrowful "Stay, what are you about to do?" I asked, as rising, he made a quick movement forward. "To dispel the illusion, darling." Bo saying he shook the curtain violently.

"May all ghostly visitants be as easily dispersed!" be continued, laughing, as the figure quivered, stayed, became distorted, then, in a moment, vanished. "But what was it?" "I will reproduce it and ryou. shall See. HeJ loosened the curtain and it fell to the ground in the old fold3 and, creases, as it was before. There, she was again.

"And is this what scared you on your first visit here?" he inquired, turning to me suddenly, as though a new light broke on him. "Yes, I thought it was the spirit of my stepmother. I imagined the likeness, of course." Then, between laughter and tears, I made a full confession of all my superstitious folly. Next morning we closely interrogated Mrs. Stevens.

She expressed her belief that the cedar chamber was haunted, and that the communication her mistress had desired to make to me was to that effect We read of strange results brought about by the juxtaposition of certain heavenly bodies. Here was an instance," unique in its way, in which a heavenly body the moon aided by such commonplace earthly materials as a modern gas jet and an old faded silken curtain- produced as perfect a 'specimen of a beautiful female ghost as ever visited our world. as to be afraid to sleep there ou that account 1 asked. "It is not my province to suppose anything, idiss Korthcote. My late mistress ealertaiced the fancy, and, if you had seen her before she died, it is my belief she would have given you her reasons herself.

As it is "As it is, Mrs. Stevens," I answered, seeing that 6he paused irresolutely, "I am now mistress here, and have set my heart on that particular Wdroom. Have it prepared, please, for I wish to occupy it at'once." "As you will," she said indifferently. But as she turned away I caught a peculiar look on her which perplexed as much as it annoyed me. My belongings were promptly removed into the coveted room, my maid, Justine, occupying a small dressing-room adjoining, but to which there was no through communication.

The first night of my taking possession of my new quarters was close and oppressive, and I remember waking to find the scent of the cedar wood slightly overpowering. About -midnight I rose; threading my way across the room with dilhculty, for the room was almost in total darkness opened, the nearest window. The Dext night, before Justine left me, I desired her not to turn the gas quite out. Three nights latcr-I again woke with a sense of languor and oppression. I did not want to be at the trouble of rising to open the window, but I looked up sleepily.

The gas beside the window gave out a dim light; beyond it a faint moonbeam slanting across the room in which lay the shadow of a pear tree that grew outside close to the bouse. I could trace the shadows of the branches and the leaves, and watched them as they flickered, 6tirred by the night wind. Keeping my eyes open in a half-sleepy manner, as I have said, all at once I became conscious of seeing something else besides the gaslight and the moonlight, something that seemed to be between the two. It was faint and indistinct, certainly, but none the less it bore resemblance to a female form; the head appeared resting on the hand; the hair, with a ruddy gleam on it, floated backward on the shoulders. The rest of the figure was lost in darkness.

I was sufficiently awake to know it was no freak of fancy, and yet the figure was altogether so faintly defined and vague in detail, that before long I fell asleep, and next morning remembered it as a dream only. Tho succeeding night, -however, I again awoke, and on opening my eyes beheld the self-same figure; but this time it was more clearly visible, especially the face, which, turned towards me, I saw to be that of a very beautiful woman. Moreover, to my unspeakable horror and dismay, I discovered in it a resemblance to my stepmother, whom I had seen once, and only once, as she lay dead within her coffin. The sight was the more distressing to me inasmuch as the face wore an expression of mournful sadness combined with one of reproach. Had the spirit of my father's wife returned to earth to upbraid me for not obeying the summons to dying bed? A strangely commingled feeling of awe and incredulity possessed me.

Of awe, inspired by the apparent presence of a being from another world: of incredulity, that such a visitation could be possible. In vain' I closed my eyes, pressing my hands upon them to wipe out, as it were, the Bight. Whenever I opened them I saw tho beautiful, reproachful face, and it w-as not until the early summer morning dawned that it entirely disappeared, and I rose from my bed sad at heart and worn in body with the weary vigil of the night. Twice more the visitation came; after tbat for two or three weeks the visits ceased, then they once more resumed. Before I had teen two months at Crowsnest all my vaunted courage fled: my entire nature underwent a change.

Though I spoke of what I Lad seen to no one, I was, nevertheless, sensitively conscious that Mrs. Stevens remarked something amiss with me. I was, even morbidly fearful that she had suspicion of the cause. I was convinced of this one morning when she said not by any means unkindly "Justine tells me you have not been sleeping well, Miss Northcote. Indeed, lam concerned to see how ill you look.

Do you not find the ceda- chamber comfortable?" "Perfectly comfortable, delightful I would not change it for tho world," I replied, evasively. "Comfortable," and with that haunting presence? Heaven forgive me for the subterfuge 1 As to Justine, she was continually urging me to quit what she termed "cevilain pays;" attributing my depression to the climate, to the dull life I led, to anything rather than to the true cause. But at length her persistency, added to beseeching letters from ray guardian, prevailed, and I returned to Paris. There I renewed my acquaintance with Mr. "Weston.

Id as impossible to be blind to his feelings, his intentions. Every word and look told me that he loved me, and the day camo hen he asked me to be his wife. To his evident surprise, and to my own inexpressible sorrow, I refused to marry him, Could I join my life a haunted life to that of the man I loved with all my heart? True, I had no visitation from the beautiful, reproachful face since I left Crowsnest; but might it not return at any time, at any hour? Oh, why had my father's wife cast this blight upon my life? Why did she haunt me? Was it a heinous crime not to have gone in time to see her die? Suddenly I became possessed by a strange longing to revisit Crowsnest, to see again the weird apparition that had exercised so subtle an influence on my life. With the persistent waywardness of a spoilt child, I iusisted on going to Crow snest. I insisted also that no one but Justine should accompany me.

My indulgent guaudiau yielded to my wishes, and I went. But not once during my mouth's visit did I see tho haunting face. I believed thenar that my persecution, was ended. On my return to Par 3Ir. Weston renewed his oiTer and I accepted him.

A few months Of; married happiness effectually dispersed the cloud that had overshadowed me. My mind warped, weakened as it bad been by giving way to morbid fancies gained tone and vigor daily by associating with my- husband's, which was eminently matter-of-fact and practical. It was, therefore, without the slightest foreboding of evil that wo set out for Devonshire to spend the summer months at Crowsnest. George was much pleased with the old house; above all with the cedar chamber, which I found without any orders to that effect had been prepared for us. It was late at night wheu we arrived, and there as not time to alter the arrangements; besides, there seemed no need, for I believed, as I have stated, that I had outlived my fears.

We were tired by our journey and soon fell fast asleep. Towards morning I awoke. A stream of moonlight flooded the chamler. As of old, the shadow of the pear tree lay along the floor flickering in the night wind. I watched it for a while, then tbis shadow being closely associated in my mind with something else 1 looked towards the bay window, and could scarcely euppress a cry.

Disgraceful Kegiect of Confederate Soldier' Grave Appropriation Wanted. Special to the Commercial Gazette. Colwibcs, Ffcb. 22. The Democratic Legislature cf Ohio should lose no time in appropriatinz a sufficient sum of money to place a fence around the Confederate graveyard near the historic erounda cf Camp Chase." For years the space allotted for the Confederate dead has been without a fence, if it ever had one.

The head beards, were once placed in petition arid marked the resting place of some loved oDe, have, j-during the past twenty years, decayed or been destroyed by cattle and ht, which are free to go at large in that, locality. The locality, which, twentyt -years ao, was one of the active in the State, wbtre thousnlof men drilled daily and prepared themselves, for more active aod eamjuinary atie, where there were confined thousands. of Rebel prisoners, is to-day one of the moat quiet and orderly little in the JState. The lands embracing the eld eaanD and in the immediate vicinity, ware purchased by the "Society of Friends'" and, divided up into farms. Fine brick Louses now stand where the drill groaoi used to be, and commodious bancs and farm buildings are located where Rebel soldiers were confined twenty years ago, and it might be added, where greybacks were as numerous as the eanda of the sea.

In the plot of ground set aside as a cemetery tfeere were interred something over 2, 300 Cob federate dead. A great deal of time i was speut, as w-dl as money, prenarinsr a chart of the burial ground. Directly All? VTdl, V. I tt m. XI.

T. that time Adjutant General, made a strong eflort to get an appropriation large enough to enclose this ground and erect head boards of a more durab'e kind than those then in place, bat at tbat time ther.e was little disposition to indulge in any sentiment; the victims of Andersonyiile, Belle Isle, Florence arid Libby were too numerous, and their sufferings too plainly apparent, to find many willing to appropriate money to the cuse or seeing that the graves of the Confederates were kept green. And now, that twenty years have gone by, it would seem that the time had fully arrived when something sbould ba done towards placing this, the last resting place of even Confederate soldiers, iu a condition that will cos longer reflect disgrace upon the State of Ohio. Perhaps or may be necessary to carry out this work, but it will money well spent and will never be missed, nor will the additional tax be feit. What is tree of Camp Chase Cemetery is also applicable to the one on Jobnsoa's Island, where none bat Rbel officers were buried.

Ol the 2.300 interments made at Camp Chase, probably the remains of seventy-five were takea up and returned to their homes and friends in the South, and the balance remain. The deaths were from the soldiery of every Southern State, Virginia, Kentucky and 'iennessee having the largest representation in that little city of the dead. ETIQCliTTK IN THJS MOUSE. How Ladles Came to be Admitted to the House Gallery. Ben Perley Poore writes in his "Recollections The Representatives, following the example of the British House of Commons, used to sit with their bats on.

In 1828 a motion that no member should remain covered within the bar of tho House was discussed, and at first defeated by ten majority. An order by the Speaker, that visitors in the gallery should not wear their hats while the House was in session gave great offense to some of the Representatives, and was enforced with difficulty. Tho ladies had been originally excluded from the galleries of the If ouse, in accordance with the British precedent. But when -the famous Jay treaty wa3 brought home for ratification the House came near refusing to rrWke the necessary appropriation for carrying- -it into effect, and heated debates -emued. One night at a party Mrs.

Landoi, of New Hampshire, whose husband Wa a member, expressed her regret to Hon. Fisher Ames, of Massachusetts, that she could not hear the argument, especially his speeches. Mr. Ames gallantly replied that he knew of no reason why ladies should not be permitted to hear the debates. "Then," said Mrs.

Langdon, if you will let me know when you next intend to speak, I will make up a party iof ladies and we will go and hear you," The notice was given, the ladies went, and since then Congressional oiators: have always had fair hearers with others, perhaps; not very fair. BLONDE i TO THE REAR. Reign of the Fair-Haired Girl Flayed New York; Sun. English society journals have bad a great deal to say of late about the -wedding of the Marquis of Leinster and Lady Htimione Duncombe, the beautiful daughter of Lord Feversham. The bridesmaids, eleven in number, are described as being all handscma girls and all brunettes, which shows that the reign of the blonde is over, and that her dara haired sisters have come once more to the front.

Thas there is a fashion in beauty as in all other things i3 beyond doubt, and the rage for blondea and blondinea has been carried to such excess of late year and has resulted in such misdirected efforts to dye aud discolor the hair, that it will be rather a relief in one's travels to see no more lem ju-colored or chromo-yellow Auioug the guests at this very notable wedding was Mrs. Ernest Beckett Denisjn, young American Lride, who was married a lew months since. She is spoken oi as "the delicate Americau beauty, whose loveliness rather paled before that of the Lady He.niione and her. sisters." But this is lroin an Eaelish point of viewpf course. Mrs.

My fV.hcr had made- a mesalliance out in India by taking a half-eastc for his second wife, and when he died ho left his -widow, for her life, tLo family estate of "Crows-nest," to 'neb he had only just succeeded.

I found by the railway guide that if I changed ny dress with speed there was time to catch the lat train that niht from Paris. By noon next day I should reach Devonshire, in which county Crowsnest is situated. "Justine," I cried, excitedly, "bring me my traveling dress. You must go with me to-night to England "Mon Dieu, mademoiselle "Would you take off that ravishing dress that suits vou to such marvel Would you give up the ball?" I iooked at my reflection in the glass. Once more I took up the railway timetable to study its contents.

At 9 o'clock next morning there was another train Meditatively I raised the bouquet to my face. "Who was it 6aid "The woman who hesitates is lost The srveet perfume of the flowers r'trmatcd my senses. Who bad sent hem? Curiosity prevailed. I would wait till the morrow, go to the ball, and solve the mystery. Sir Charles and Lady were waiting for mo when I descended the Stairs.

I did not say anything about the telegram, we entered tho carriage, and. were driven to the Embassy. The ball was brilliant in tho extreme, and I completely intoxicated with the adulation I received. "La jolio An-glaiie!" "The new debutante!" was on everybody's lips. The night was half over before I even remembered tho avowed object of my deferred departure for England namely, to discover the sender of the flowers.

"Of what; wero you thinking so pro-fouudly, -Mis3 asked a gentleman in a way that made mo start. The speaker was Mr. Weston. lie had been introduced to mo a few days before at my guardian's house, "I was thinking of the sender of this lovely bouquet, and wondering who ho i. Bco, my jiumti, la spelt out in white violets," I answered, holding the Ilowers towards him.

"I hope you were thinking kindly of the donor?" "Indeed I was." "Thank you. Will you always so think of him, of My Miff tise was too ereat to frame an immediate reply. Besides, his manner embarrassed me. It inferred so much rucre tLan tho mere words. I danced with hiin more frequently than with any cne else, and found a new and strange attraction in his presence.

On returning from the ball, I (old my lind host aud hostess of the telegram of my determination to start for England on the morrow. Lady looked grave when she read the message. "You miht have saved a few hours, dear she said. "Only a very few. And then I should have misted the mcst delightful experience of all my life I answered, fervently.

"But it was a caso of life and death, my child," she added, gently. And I felt she hud given me a rep root. My trunks were soon packed by Justine, who accompanied me to Eugland. Fir Chailes as my legal guardian. also insisted on going with me, and late on the following night we were driving through the moonless darkness of country roads to Crowsnest.

A stately housekeeper met us in the hall: "MUs Ncrtheote, you come too late, she said, and there more austerity than sadness in her tone. "My dear mistress died three hours ago. If you had let Paris list night you would have been iu time. My lady hud a communi-tation the desired to make to you." "What was it?" I asked iu much distress. "That no ono will ever know in this world" was the answer.

And I felt from that moment as though Mrs. Stevens was xny enemy. ir Charles remained at Crowsnest until alter the funeral. Then, in vain, he urged me to return with him to Paris. I was bent, on remaining a few eeks longer in the quaint, old-fashioned house, which now to all intents and purposes was mine.

With tho exception of one bedroom in it, a description of Crowsnest is not necessary to the development of my tale, but to detciibe that is imperative. This room Lad taken my fancy from the lirst; it was long and large, and low; the walls panuelhd wit'i cedar wood. On the panels hung franfid tapestry pictures, the work of past generations of Jorthcotes. The ceiling of cedar wood, with enviously. carved rafters, made the wails look Yen lower tban they were.

A time-melloncd square of Indian carpet covcied the centre of tho cedar floor, on 'which stood tho ted of the eame word, and richly carved raised as a Oais. There were two windows; tho licaust the a bay with diamond nes, the hangings, similar to those of tho bed, of old-fashioned rich brocade, ith laded i ink satin linings. On th'j t'do of the bay window nearest the bed was fix-d a modern gas bracket, which ttinck as a strange anomaly, and the criSy incongruity amid the antique sur- It was in this chamber my stepmother died, lut, utteijy devoid of all superstitious weak I decided to occupy it sooner ha 1 my kind left Crow Miebt than I told Mrs. of my intention; whereon she kok( troubled, urging various reasons hy I should not do so; none of which appeared to mo of any weight.

Screens raado entirely xi Christmas cards are something new, but just because they are home-made are not liable to be fashionable. So closely do the ladies' dresses of today resemble the costumes of the last century that only powdered hair and face patches are wanting. Velvet turban hats bound with fur seem to be the fashionable headgear for little girls whose mammas and papas are "prominent society Embroidered pongee window shades are the newest, and are the acme of elegance.

Of course they come high, and that is one reason they are so elegant Henry II. hats are generally admitted very stylish, but arc "nothing if not on the right head," according to an exchange. Tbis is rather vague information. i The young-man-not-used-to-his-money now has his dress coat lined with hite satin, and wonders why on earth all the young bloods stare and then laugh at him so. Large water jugs of Yenetiam glass now take the placo of the ordinary caraffe on the dinner table and are amom the things that are as useful as they are ornamental.

"Well, well," said Mrs. Parvenu, reading one of tho society papers, "I see Miss Jones is a debutante." "Why, I always thought the Joneses were Americans." Who shall now say that sealskin is not common Somebody's laundress-brought home the week's wash last Saturday night and she had on a 750 sealskin sacque. This settles it One of the most elegant costumes at the Old Guard ball was of mouse-colored velvet trimmed with satin of the same shade. If not made by Worth it was de by somebody as artistic. Everybody wondered at a wedding the other day why tho bride carried a bouquet of artificial instead of natural liowers.

The ushers were not able to give the curious any information on the subject The rage for brass has extended to the bed-room, and now the brass "ewer and basin of "Charles Second's time" take the place of the china basin and pitcher. Brass is very appropriate in some households. "I hear," said Mrs Parvenu, "that Mr. Willow's son at Yale last year. I always said Yale was an awful unhealthy city 1" Tiapid young ladies( the period now wear collars and cufla 'of colored linen, and as little boys aro, prone to say, "think they're awlul The coat-of-arms craze leads to the inference that many would-be fashionable New lorkers have been blue -blood poisoned.

There is a remedy. "I can tell you what it is," said Mrs. Parvenu to her husband, referring to her daughter's musical education. "Jennie has got to have a first-class teacher some of them masters what write the opera, Mozart or You look up their address in the directory and we will send 'em a note to call." To invent new and bewitching tea-gowns, says, a writer in the Hour, with bewitching caps made of plush, suitable in color to the gowns which they supplement; to eclipse chosen rivals by the surpassing fascinations of their tiny slippers worked in steel or colored beads, and to draw universal attention to the daring yet becoming tilt of their new bonnet are nowadays the aims of fine-ladyism. fAt times tho game seems scafcely worth the candle, for feminine vanity is more a thing of cultivation and less cf nature tban is frequently supposed.
