8 WABBISQTOH ISVUO.
In the early time of the errrrtnc of
New Yerk, whlle it groaned under the
tyranny of the English governor, Lord
Cernbury, who carried his cruelties to
wards tbe Dutch Inhabitants ee far as te
allow no dominie, or schoolmaster, te
officiate In their language, without his
special license: about this time, there
lived In the jelly little old city of the
Mnnhattees, a kind motherly dame,
known by the name of Dame Hcyliger.
She was the widow of a Dutch sea cap
tain, who died suddenly of a fever, in
consequence of working tee hard, and
enting tee heartily, at the time when all
the inhabitants turned out in a panic, te
fortify the place against the invasion of
a small French privateer. lie left her
with very llttle money, and ene Infant
eon, the only survivoref several children.
The geed woman had need of much
management te make both ends meet
and keep up a decent appearance. How
ever, es.her liURband had fallen n victim
te lib real for the public safety, it was
universally agreed that "something
ought te be dene for the widow;" and
en the hopes of this "something" she
lived tolerably for seme years; In the
meantime, cvcryliedy pitied and spoke
well of lier; nnd that helped along.
Khe lived in a small house, in a small
street, called Garden street, very proba
bly from a garden which may have
flourished there some time or ether. As
her necessities every year grew greater,
and the talk of the public about doing
"something for lier" grew less, Bhe had
te cast nlieut for unne mode of doing
something for herself, by way of helping
out her blender means, and maintaining
her Independence, of which she was
6emcwhat tenacious.
Living in a mcrcantile town, she had
caught something of the spirit, nnd de
termined te venture a little in the great
lottery of commerce. On a sudden,
therefore, te the great 6urprie of the
street, tbcre appeared at her window a
grand array of gingerbread kings nnd
queens, with their arms stuck akimbo,
after the invariable royal manner. There
were also several broken tumblers, seme
filled with sugnr plums, seme with mar
bles; tliere were, moreover, cakes of
various kinds, nnd barley sugar, nnd
Helland dells, and wooden herbcs, with
here and there gilt covered pieture Iweks,
nud new and then a skein of thread, or
a dangling Kiind of candles. At the
deer of thehuiiM) sat the geed old dnnie's
cat, a decent deuuire looking iiersenngc,
that bccincd te scan everybody that
passed, te rriticlse their dress, and new
and thru te stretch her neck, and leek
out with sudden curiosity, te see what
wan going en nt the ether end of the
street; but if by eliance nnv Iille vaga
bond deg came- by, ami offered te be
uncivil hoity-teity I hew bhe would
bristle up, and growl, and tmlt, nnd strike
out her paws! she wns as indignant ns
ever was an ancient nnd ugly spinster,
en the approach of bome graceless prof
ligate. Hut though the geed woman had te
comedown te these humble means of
Mibbistcnce, yet she still kept up a feel
ing of family pride, having descended
from the Vundcrsplegcls, of Amsterdam;
and she had the family arms painted and
framed, and hung ever her mantelpiece.
She was, in truth, much respected ly all
the ioerer iioeiilo of the place; her house
wns (piite a resort of the old wives of
the neighborhood; they would drop in
tliere of a winter's afternoon, ns she sat
knitting en ene tide of her fireplace, her
cat purring en the ether, nnd the tea ket
tle Bingiug befere it; nnd they would
getfeip with her until late in the evening.
Theto was always an arm chair for I'eter
dcOroedt, Nimet lines called Leng Peter,
and bemctimes Peter Longlegs, the clerk
nnd sc.xten of thclittle Lutheran church,
who was her great crony, and indeed tliu
onicle of her fireside. Nay, the dominie
liiiiitelf did net disdain, new and then,
te 6tcp in, cenverse about the state of
her mind, and take a glass of her siecinl
geed cherry brandv. Indeed, he never
failed te call en Kcw Year's day, nnd
wish her a happy New Year; and the
geed dame, who was a little vain en
seme K)ints, always piqued herself en
giving hiui ns large a cake as any ene in
town.
I have said that she had ene son. He
was the child of her old ngc; but could
hardly be called the comfort for, of all
unlucky urchins, Deljih Heyligcr was the
most mischievous. Net that the whipster
was really vicious; he was only full of
fun nml frolic, and had that daring,
gainesoiiie sjiirit, which is extolled in a
rich man's child, but execrated in u peer
man's. He was continually getting into
scrapes: bin mother was incessantly
ii.ii.iNMii wuii ceuipiamis 01 seme wag
gish pranks which he had plaved etr;
bills were sejit in for windows 'that he
had broken; in a word, he had net
reached his fourteenth year liofero he was
pronounced by the neigliboiheod te lie n
''wicked deg, the wickedest deg in the
street'" Nay, ene old gentleman, in a
claret colored coat, with a thin red facu
and ferret eyes, went be for us te assure
Dnine Hcyliger, that her 6011 would, enu
dav or ether, ceme te the gallows!
Yet, notwithstanding nil this, the peer
old beul loved her ley. It beemed us
though she loved him the better, thu
werse he behaved; nnd that he grew
niore in her favor, the mero he grew out
of favor with the world. Mothers are
foolish, fend hearted beings; there's no
reasoning them out of their dotage; and,
indeed, this peer woman's child was all
that was left te leve her in this world
ue we must net think it hard that bhe
turned a deaf car te her geed friends,
who sought te preve te her that Delph
would come te a halter.
Te de the varlet justice, tee, he was
strongly attached te his parent, lle
would net willingly have given her pain
en nny account; and when he had been
doing wrong, it was but for him te catch
his jioer mother's eye fixed wistfully nud
Minewfully uien him, te fill his heart
with bitterness and contrition. Hut he
was a heedless youngster, and could net,
for the life of lam, resist nny new temp
tation te fun nnd mischief. Though
quick at ids learning, whenever he could
be brought te apply himself , yet he was nl
ways prene te be led awny by idle com cem
miiy, and would play truant te hunt
after birds' nests, te rob orchards, or te
swim in the Hudsen.
In this way he grew up, a tall, lubberly
boy; and his mother began te be greatly
iicrplexed what te de with him, or hew
te put him in a way te de for himself;
for he had acquired such an unlucky
reputation that ue ene seemed willing te
employ him.
Shiny were the consultations that she
held with I'eter de Groodt, the clerk and
sexton, who was her prime counselor.
Peter was as much perplexed a? herself,
for he hud no great opinion of the lxy,
and thought he would never ceme te
geed. He at ene time advised her ta
bend hirn te bca a piece of advicoenly
given in the most tlvopcrate cases; but
Iljine Hejliger would net listen te such
un idea; she could think of letting Delph
go out of her sight, She was Bittingone

had been that of a boy of Delph'e years, i
who had been apprentice e a famous j
Ucrman doctor, nnd had died of a con
sumption. It U true, there had been a '
wuisper mat tlie deceased had been
brought te hi end by lieing made the
subject of the doctor a experiments, en
which he was apt te try theeHccts of a
new compound, or a quieting draught.
ThU, however, it U likely, was n mere
scandal, at any rate, I'eter de Groodt
did net think it worth mentioning;
uieiigii, nau we iime te pmiosepmze, it
would be a curious matter for epecula- i
tien, why a doctor's family is apt te be
se lean nnd cadaverous, and a butcher's .
te jelly anil rulucund.
IVtt r di-droedt, a I said before, en
tered the lieuie of D.ime Hcyliger with
m.t al nhcxiUr. iJoivasfuilef nbeb-ht
idea tiiat had pted Inte Id head at
thu funeral, and ever which he had
chuckled m he shoveled the earth Inte
the grave of the doctor' disciple. It had
occurred te him, that, u the situation of
the deceased ni vacant at the doctor's,
it would be the very place for Delph.
The boy had part, ana could pound a
pestle and run an errand with any boy in
the town and what mere was wanted in
a student?
The suggestion of the sage Peter was a
vision of glory te the mother. She al
ready saw Delph, In her mind's eye, with
a cane at his nose, a knocker at his deer,
and an M. D. at the end of his name
one of the established dignitaries of the
town.
The matter, ence undertaken, was seen
effected; the sexton had seme Influence
with the doctor, they having had much
dealing together in the way of their sep
arate professions; and the very next
morning be called and conducted the
urchin, clad in Ids Sunday clothes, te
undergo the inspection of Dr. Karl Lodo Ledo Lode
vlck Knipperhauscn.
They found the doctor Boated in an
elbow chajr, in ene corner of his stud v or
laboratory, with a large volume in (Ser
mon print, before him. He was n short,
fat man, with a dark, square face, ren
dered mero dark by a black velvet cap.
Ue had a little, knobbed nose, net un
like the nce of spades, with a pair of
spectacles gleaming en each slde of his
dusky countenance, llke a couple of bow
windows.
Delph felt struck with awe, en enter
ing Inte the presence of this learned man;
nnd gazed nbeut him with boyish
wonder at the furniture of this cham
ber of knowledge, which appeared
te him almost as the den of a magician.
In the center steed n claw footed table,
with pcstle and mortar, phials and galli galli
eots, and a pair of small, burnished
scales. At ene end was a heavy clothes
press, turned Inte a rcceptacle for drugs
nnd cemtvmnds, against which hung the
doctor's hat nnd cloak nnd geld headed
cane, nnd en the top grinned u human
skull. Along the mantclpiece were gloss
vessels, in which were snakes nnd lizards,
nnd a human fcetus preserved In spirits.
A closet, the floors of which were taken
elf, contained three whele shelves of
books, nnd some, tee, of mighty folio
dimensions a cbllcctlen the like of
which Delph had never liefore lichcld.
As, however, tlie library did net lake up
the whole of the closet, the doctors
thrifty housekeeper had occupied the
rest with pote of picklen and preserves,
and liad hung ubeut the room, among
uwful implements of the healing urf,
strings of red eppcr nnd corpulent cu
cumbers, carefully preserved for need.
Peter de Oroedt nnd his pretege were
received with great gravity and statrli
nc33 by the doctor, who wua a very wise,
dignilied little man, and never smiled.
He surveyed Delph from head te feet,
above and under, and through his njiecta
cles; and the oer lad's heart quailed as
these great glasses glared en him like
two full moons. The doctor heard ull
that Peter de (Jroedt had te Bay in favor
of the youthful candidate, and then,
wetting Ids thumb with the end of his
tongue, he began deliberately te turn
ever page nftcr page of the great Uack
volume befere him. At length, after
many hums nnd haws, and streltings of
thu chin, nnd all that hesitation nml de

in the healing art; in return for which
he was te have lib services until his
twenty-first year.
Beheld, then, our here all at ence
transformed from an unlucky urchin,
running wild nbeut the btrcet3, te a tUu
dent of medicine, diligently pounding a
tiestle under the auspices of the learned
Dr. Knrl Lodovick Kuippcrhauscii.
It was u happy transition for hH fowl
old mother. She was delighted with the
idea of her boy's beim:

the day when he .would Ik? uble te held
up iila head with thu lawyer that lived
in the large heuse oppesite: or, pct&d
venture, with the dommie himself.
Dr. Knipperhauscn was a tiative of
the Palatinate of Germany, from whence
in cempauy wun many or 1113 country
men he had taken rcfuge in Englaud ea
account of religious jKirsecutien. He
.was ene of nearly UfiQQ Palatines who
came ever from England in 1710 under
the protection of Governer Hunter.
Where the doctor had studied, hew he
he had acquired his medical knowledge,
and where he had received hu diploma,
It is hard nt present te say, for nobeclv
knew nt the time; yet it is certain tha't
his profeuud skill and abstruse knowl
edge were the talk nnd wonder of the
common pcople far and near.
His practice was totally different from
that of euy ether physician, consisting
in mysterious compounds known only te
himself, in the preparing and adminis
tering of which, it was said, he always
consulted the stars. Se high un opinion
was entertained of his skill, particularly
by the German nnd Dutch inhabitants,
that they nlwnys resorted te him in dra
prratu cases. He was one of these in in
fallihle doctors that are always elfecting
sudden nnd surprising cures when the
patient has licen given up by all the reg
ular physicians; unless, as i3 bhrewdly
observed, the case has been left tee long
before it was put into their hands. The
doctor's library was the talk and marvel
of the neighborhood, I might almost say
of the entire burg. The geed people
looked with roverence at u man that had
read three whele shelves full of IxjeUb,
and seme of them, tee, ns large ns a
family Bible. Tliere were man v disputes
nnieng the members of tlte little Lu
theran church ns te which was the wiser
man, the doctor or the dominie. Some
of his admirers even went se far as te
say that he knew mere than thogevcnior
himself in a word, it was thought that
tliere was no end te hi3 knowledge!
Ne sooner was Delph received into tiie
doctor's family than he was put in jiosbes jiesbes jiosbes
sien of the lodging of his predecessor. It
was a garret room of a steep reefed Dutch
house, wliere the rain patted en the
shingles nnd the lightning gleamed and
the wind piped through the crannies in
Btermy weather, and where whole troops
of hungry rats, like Den Cossacks, gal
loped about in defiance of traps and
ratsbane.
He was seen up te his cars in medical
studies, licing employed morning, neon
nnd night in rolling pills, filtering tine
tures or iKwnding the pcstle and mortar
In ene corner of the laboratory, while
the doctor would take his seat in an
other corner when he had nothing else
te de or expected visitors, nnd, nrrayed
in his morning gown nnd velvet cap,
would pore ever the contents of seme
folio volume. It is trim that the regular
thumping of Delnh's m-sllc, or, pcruaiw,
the drewby buzzing of the rummer (lies,
would new and then lull the little man
into a Blumlcr; but then Ids sjicctacles
were always wide awake and studiously
regarding the Ijoek.
There was another jicrsonage in the
house, however, te whom Delph was
obliged te fy allegiance. Though a
bachelor, und a man of such great dignity
and importance yet thu doctor was, like
many ether wi&e men, subject te petti
coat government. He was completely
under the sway of his housekeeper; a
epare, busy, fretting housewife, in a
httle, round, quilted, German cop, with
a hiige bunch of keys jingling at the
Kirdle of nn exceedingly long waist.

P".00' .managing hi establishment
and himself tee; ruling him, it is true,
with a gentle hand, but carrying a high
hand with all the world beside. Bew
she had sequired such ascendency I de
l??hpSi!teiia ,0 "y People.lt Is true,
did talk; but have net pcople been prene
te talk ever since the world began? Who
can tell hew women generally contrive
te get the upjwr hnnd? A husband, it is
true, may new and then be master in his
own house; but whoever knew a bachelor
that was net managed by his house
keeper? Indeed, Frau Ihry's power was net con
fined te the doctor s household. She was
ene of theso prying gossips that knew
every one's business better than they de
themselves; and whose all seeing eyes,
nnd all telling tongues, are terrors
throuqheut a neighborhood.
Nothing of any moment transpired in
the world of scandal of this little burg,
but it was known te Frau llsy. She had
her crew of cronies, that were perpetu
ally hurrying te her little parlor with
seme precious bit of news; nay, she
would sometimes discuss a whele velume
of secret history as she held the street
deer njar and gossiped with ene of these
garrulous cronies in tbe very teeth of a
December blast
Between the doctor and the house
keeper it may easily be supposed that
Delph liad a busy llfe of it. As Frdu
llsy kept the keys, and literally ruled
the roast, it Was starvation te offend her,
though he found the study of her temper
mero perplexing even than that of medi
cine. When net busy in the laboratory
she kept him running hither mid thither
en her errands; nud en Sundays he was
obliged te accompany her te and from
church, and carry tier Bible, Many a
time has the peer varlet Btoed shivering
and blowing his lingers, or holding his
frostbitten nose, ill the church yard,
whlle llsy and her cronies were huddled
together, wagging their heads and tear
ing seme unlucky cliaracter te nieces.
With all his advantages, iiowever,
Delph made very slew progress in his
nrt. Tills was no fault of the doctor's,
certainly, for he took unwearied pains
with the lad, keeping him clese te the
pcstle nnd mortar, or en the trot nlxnit
town with phials nnd pill boxes; and if
he ever llagged in his industry, which he
was rather apt te de, the doctor would
fly into a passion nnd ask him if he ever
expected te learn Ids profession unless
he applied himself closer te the study.
The fact is, he still retained the fondness
for sport nnd mischief that had marked
hi childhood; the habit, Indeed, had
strengthened with his ycara and gained
ferce from being thwarted and con
strained. He dally grew mero and mero
untractable, und lest favor in the eyes
both of the doctor and the housekeeper.
In the ineantime the doetor went en
waxing wealthy and renowned. He was
famous for his skill iu managing enses
net laid down in the books, lle had
cured several old women and young girls
of witchcraft; a terrible complaint,
nearly ns prevalent in the province in
theso days as hydrophobia is at present.
He had even restored ene strapping
country girl te perfect health who liad
goue se far as te vomit crooked pins and
needles: which is considered n descrate
etage of the malady. It wns whispered,
ulse, that he waa possessed of the nrt of
preparing leve powders, nnd many np-
) mentions had no iu consequence from
ove sick patients of both texes. But all
these cases formed the mysterious part
of his practice, in which, ucceiding te
the cant phrase, "bccrccy nnd honor
might be depended en." Delph, there
fore, was obliged te turn out of the
currcd, though It is said he learned mero
of the becrets of the nit ut the keyhclPr
man ujr uu iuu rest 01 iua biucues put to
gether. Ae the doctor increased in wealth he
began te extend his-possessions and te
leek forward, like ethr great men, te
the time when he should retire te the re
pose of a country 6cat. Ter this purpese
he had purchased 11 farm, or, ns the
Dutch settlers called it, a bewcrie, a few
miles from town. It had been the rcsi rcsi
dence of a wealthy family, tli.it had re
turned 6ome time Biuce te Helland. A
large mansion heuse steed in the ccntc.'
of it, very much out of repair, and which.
in concequence et certain reports, bad re
ceived the npiellatien of the Haunted
Heuso. Either from these reports, or
from its actual dreariness, the doctor liad
found It impossible te get a tenant; nnd,
that the place might net fall te ruin be be be
eoeo he could reside in it himself, he
had placed a country lioer, with his
family, in ene wing, with the privilege
of cultivating the farm en shares.
The doctor new felt nil the dignity of
n landholder rising within him. lle had
a little of tlie German pride of territory
in ids composition, nnd almost looked
upon himself ns owner of a principality.
He legnii te complain of the fatigue of
business, nnd was fend of riding out "te
leek nt his estate." Ilia littloexpcditiens
te his lands were ultended with a Imstle
and parade that created n sensation
throughout the neighborhood. Hi wall
eyed horee steed, btamplng und whisking
etr the files, for n full hour befere tbe
house. Then the doctor's saddle bags
would be brought out nnd adjusted:
then, after a little while, his cloak would
lie rolled up and strapped te the Kiddle;
then I1I3 umbrella would Ite buckled te
the coat; whlle, in tlie ineantime, ugreup
of ragged lieys, that observant class of
Iwings, would gather lefore the deer.
At length the doctor would Issue forth,
In n pair of jack beets that reached ubove
his knees, and n cocked hat flapped down
in front. As he was n short, fut man he
took seme time te mount into thesaddlc;
and when there, he took bome time te
have the saddle and stirrups preiierjy
adjusted, enjoying the wonder mid nif.
miratien of tlie urchin crowd. Even nf
tcr he had bet off, he would pause in the
middle of the street, or trot liaclc two or
three times te give seme parting orders,
which were answered by thu housekeeper
from the deer, or Delph from the study,
or the black cook from the cellar, or the
chambermaid from the garret window;
nnd there were generally pome last words
bawled after him just us he was turning
the corner.
Tlie whele neighborhood would be
nreused by this pomp nnd circumstunee.
Tlie cobbler would leave his last, the
baTberwuuId thrust out I113 fiizzed head,
with a comb sticking in it, n knot would
collect at the grocers deer, and the word
would be buzcd from ene end of the
street te the ether, "The doctor's riding
out te ids country scat!"
These were golden moments for Delph.
Ne sooner was the doctor out of sight
than pestle nnd mortar were abandoned,
the laboratory waa left te take care of
itself, nnd the btudeut was off en seme
madcap frolic.
Indeed, it must Ikj confessed, tlie
youngster, ns he grew up, Bccmed in a
fair way te fulfill the prediction of the old
claret colored gentleman. He was the
ringleader of all holiday sjK)rts and mid
night gambols, ready for all kinds of
mischievous pranks and harebrained ad
ventures. There Is nothing se troublesome as a
here en 11 small bcale, or, rather, a here
iu a small town. Delph been became the
abherrence of all drowsy, housekeeping
old citizens, who hated neise und had no
relish for waggery. Tlie geed dames,
tee, considered him ns little better than
a reprobate, gathered their daughters
under their wings whenever he ap
proached, nnd pointed him out as n warn
ing te their sons. Ne ene seemed te held
him in much regard, excepting tlie wild
striplings of tlie place, who were capti
vated by his ejcn hearted, daring man
ners, nnd the negrees, who always leek
upon ever) idle, de-nothing youngster as
a kind of gentleman. Even tiie gid
Peter de Groodt, who had considered
himself a kind of juitren of tlie lad, be
gan te despair of him and would shake
his head dubiously as he listened te a
long complaint from the heusekeeiier,
and sipped a glass of her raspberry
brandy.
Still his mother was net te be wearied
out of her uffectlen by all the wayward
new of her boy, nor disheartened by the
stories of his misdeeds with which her
geed friends were continually regaling
her. She had, it is true, very little of
the pleasure which yell eople enjoy, in
always hearing; Uiejr cbjldjcn pmkQi;
m urn TOtuuuemi nil mis III win as u
kind of persecution which he suffered,
and the liked him the better en that ac
count. She saw hlni growing up a fine,
tall, geed loeVJng youngster, and she
looked at him with t.ii' rcret pride of a
mother's heart. It wns her great desire
that Delph should appear like a gentle
man, and nil the money she could save
went towards helping out his pocket and
his wardrobe. She would leek out of the
window nftcr hlin as he sallied forth in
his lxt array, and her heart would yearn
with delight; and once, when Peter de
Groodt, struck with the youngster's gal
lant appearance en a bright Sunday
morning, observed, "Well, after all,
Delph docs grew a comely fellow I" the
tear of prlde started Inte the mother's
eye. "Ah, neighbor! neighbor!" ex
claimed she, "they may eav what they
please: iKwr Delph will yet held up hU
lend wftli the l-est of them."
Delph Heyligcr had new nearly at
tained his onc-and-twentieth year, nnd
the term of his medical studies was
just expiring, yet It must be confessed
that he knew little mero of the profes
sion than when he first entered the doc
tor's doers. This, however, could net
be from want of quickness of ports, for he
showed amazing aptness In mastering
ether branches of knowledge, which he
could only have studied nt intervals. He
wns, for instance, a sure marksman, and
wen all tlie gecse and turkeys nt Christ
mas holidays. Ue was a bold rider; ha
was famous for leaping and wrestling;
he played tolerably en the flddle; could
swim Like a fish; and was the liest hnnd
in the whele place nt fives or ninepins.
All these accomplishments, however,
procured him no favor in the eyes of the
doctor, who grew meru nud mere crabbed
and Intolerant the nearer the term of ap
prenticeship approached. I'rau llsy,
tee, was forever finding teme occasion
te raise a windy tempest nbeut his ears;
and seldom encountered him about the
heuse without a clatter of the tongue; be
that at length the jingling of her kevs,
as she approached, was te Delph like (lie
ringing of the prompter's bell, that glvc3
tiotfce of a theatrical thunder bterm.
Nothing but thu iiifluite geed humor of
the heedless youngster enabled him te
bear nil this domcstle tyranny without
open rebellion. It was evident that the
doctor nnd his heusekeeicr were prepar
ing te beat the ioer j euth out of tlie
nest the moment his term should have
expired; a shorthand mede which tlie
doctor had of pieviding for useless dis
ciples. Indeed, the little man had lccn ren
dered mero than usually irritnble lately
iu eonseipience of various cares nnd vex
atious which lib country estate had
brought iqwii him. Tlie doctor had been
teiK-atcdly nnneyed by the minera and
talea which prevailed concerning the old
muiittieii, and found it dililcult (e prevail
even upon the countryman und Ids fam
ily te' remain there rent free. Every
time .10 lodueut te thu farm he was
teabed by seme frcsh complaint of
strange noises nnd tearful sights with
which the tenants were disturbed ut
night, nud the doctor would ceme home
fretting and fuming, nnd vent his spleen
uen the whole household. It wns In
dixil a sero grievance, that affected him
leth in prids and purse. He was threat
ened with an absolute less of the profits
of his prejierty; and then, what a blew
te Ids territorial consequence te be the
landlord of n haunted house!
It wns observed, however, that with

te deep in the heuse himself; nay, he
could never be prevailed iijkiii te remain
Iu the premises nfler dark, but made the
best of bis way for town hh been ns the
bats liegan te Hit nbeut in the twilight
The fact wna, the doctor had a secret lo le
lie'r'" "hosts, having pawned the early

' tEHehw, '0"'"l: ""l Indeed tlie
story V1""!. nt whcn n ley he had ence
seen tht sSvll upon tlie Ilnrtz muuiitu us
in Geruiany.
At length thowdector's vexations en
this head were brought te a crisis. Onu
morning, ns he wit dozing ever a velume
in his study, he wns suddenly started
from his similiters by the bustling in of
the heusekceiKT.
"Here's n line te de!" cried she as she
entered the room. "Here's Clans Hop Hep
per ceme in, bag and baggage, from the
farm, nnd swears he'll have nethiiiir mere
te de with It. TLe whele family have
lieen frightened out of their wits; for
there's such racketing nnd rummaging
nbeut tlie old heuse that they can't sleep
quiet In their Iw1b!"
"Denncr und blitzcnl" cried the doctor
impatiently; "will they never hove dene
chattering nbeut that house? What n
pack of loels, te let u few ruts und luiee
frighten them out of geed quarters!"
"Nny, nay," said the lieusel;ccer,
wagging her head knowingly, and piqued
nt having a gecnl ghet.1 story doubted,
"there's mere in it than nits und mice.
All the neighborhood talkn nheut the
house, nnd then such sights haw; been
seen In it! Peter de Groodt tells me Hint
the family that told you tlie heut nnd
went te Helland dropped several strange
hints alxiut it, and said 'they vvIsIkmI you
joy of your bargain;' nud you knew
yourself there's no getting any family te
live in it."
"Peter de Groodt's ft ninny nu old
woman," said the doctor cevi.shly. "I'll
warrant Iie'h Ikxii filling these people's
heads full of stories. It's just llku his
nonsense nlieut the ghost that haunted
the church lielfry ns nn excusu for net
ringing tlie lielf that cold night when
Harmanus BrinkerlielT's heuse waa 011

Claus Hepper new made his npear npear
nnee a simple count rv lout, lull of tiwe
ut finding huiRlf in the very study of
Dr. Knipjicrhaiibcn, nnd tee much cm
barrmised te enter Inte much detail of
the matters that liad caused his alarm.
He steed twilling his hat in ene band,
resting beuietime-j en enu leg, some
times en tlie ether, looking occa
sionally at the doctor, nnd new und then
stealing a fearful glancu nt the death's
head that seemed ogling him from the
lop 01 1110 clenics press.
f he doctor tried every means te per
suade him te icturn te tlie farm, but
nil In vain; he maintained a dogged
determination en tlie subject; und
ut the clese of every argument or
solicitation, would make the baine brief,
inflexible reply, "Ich kan nlcht, iiiyu
beer." The doctor was n "little jnit, and
seen het;" his patieuce was exhausted
by thcbe continual vexations nlieut his
estate. Tlie stubljem refusal of Clans
Hepper bccmed te him like lint rebellion;
Ids temper suddenly Iwilcd ever, nnd

When the bumpkin get te the house

for the restraint he had suffered in the

lietcd them all, if it was enlv te sjiite

haunted tlie old fort and the government

A BRIGHT LADY REPORTER INTER
VIEWS THE PUGILIST.
Nellie Dlr, of The New Tnrk World. Kih
Jet ft Clmt with the "Itls Man" UU
Lire en Trainer Mnldoen'a Farm at Hel
nwt, N. T.
The New Yerk World recently sent its
"stir" woman reporter, Nellle Bly, te
interview Jehn L. Sullivan at Belfast,
N. Y., where he is in training under
Mnldoen, the wrestler, for his fight with
Jnke Kilraln, who was born Klllien. In
the ceurse of her description of ihe visit
te Belfast the fair writer saysi
Mr. William Muldoon's house, where
Mr. Sullivan Is training, Is in the pretti
est part of the town and only a short dis
tance from the hotel.
1 rang the bell, and when a colored
man came In answer I sent my letter of
introduction te Mr. Muldoon. A hand hand
wmie young man, whose bread shoulders
were neatly fitted with a gray corduroy
coat, came Inte the room holding a light
gray cap in his hand. His face was
youthful, his eyes blue, his expression
pleasing, his smlle brought two dimples
te punctuate his rosy checks, his licaring
was easy and most graceful, and this was
tlie champion wrestler and athlete, Will
iam Muldoon.
"We have just returned from our two twe twe
mile walk," he said, when I told him I
had ceme te see Mr. Sullivan, "and Mr.
Sullivan Is just being rubbed down. If
you will excuse me ene moment I will
tell him."
In a few moments Mr. Muldoon re
turned, followed by iininti whom I would
never have token for the great nnd only
Sulllvnn. He waa n (all man. with enor
mous shoulders, and were dark treuseni,
a light cheviet coat nnd vest nnd slip
pers. In his haud.he held a light, cloth
cap. He paused almost ns he entered
the room in n half bashful way, nud
twisted his cap iu a very Ixiyish Imt net
ungraceful manner.
"Miss Bly, Mr. Sullivan," said Mr.
Muldoon, und I
looked into the
great lighter's
dark, bright eyes
nn he bent his
bread shoulders
before me.
"Mr. .Sullivan.
I would like te
shake hands with
you," 1 said, nnd
BULUVAN A.NO HIS TKAININO TLACE.
he took my hand with a firm, hearty
grasp, and with a hand that felt small
and soft. Mr. Muldoon excused himself,
nnd I was left te Interview the great
Jehn L.
"I came here te learn nbeut you, Mr.
Sullivan, se will you plcose begin by tell
ing me nt what time you get up in the
morning," I said.
"Well, I get up ulxmt 0 o'clock anil
get rublied down," he liegan, in a matter
of -f nil way. "Then Muldoon nnd l.walk
nnd riurnriulle oVrtinileiitid 11 half a way
and then back. Just ns seen ns we get.
in I am given a shower bath, and after
being thoroughly rubbed down again I
put en an entire fresh outfit."
"What kind of clothing de you wear
for your walk? Heavy?" I asked.
"Yes. I wear a heavy sweater and a
suit of heavy corduroy buttoned tightly.
I also wear gloves. After my walk I
put en a fresh sweater, se that I won't
talie cold."
" What's a Bwcater?" I asked,
"I'll show you," he said, with a Miiile,
and, excusing himself, he went out. Iu
a moment he returned with a garment
in his hand. It was a very heavy knit
garment, with long sleeves and a stand
ing cellar. It waa all in ene piece, and
I imagine weighed nuvcral pounds.
"Well, what de you wear 11 sweater
for, and why de you take such violent
walks?" 1 asked, my curiosity lieing sat
isfied ns te the strange "sweater."
"I wear u sweater te make 1110 warm,
and I walk te reduce my fat and te har
den my muscle.i. La&t Friday I lest six
pounds and last Saturday 1 lest six und
half pounds. When I came here I
weighed 237 eiiud, and new I weigh
218. Befere I leave here I will weigh
only 193 ihhiikIs."
"De you take a cold shower bath when
your walk is finished?"
"Ne, never. I don't hello ve in cold
water. It chills tlie bleed. I always
have my shower lulh of a medium tem
perature." "Hew are you rubbed down, then, as
you term it?"
"I have two men give me a brisk rub
bing with their hands. Then they rub
1110 down with a mixture of ammonia,
camphor and alcohol."
"What de you caff"
"I eat nothing fattening. I have oat
meal for breakfast and meat und bread
for dinner, and cold meat und stale bread
for supper. I eat no sweets nor potatoes.
I used te smoke all the day, but bIuce I
came here I haven't been a cigar. Occa
sionally Mr. Muldoon gives me a gl.i3:j of
ale, but it doesn't average 0110 n day,"
"Then training is net very pleasant
work?"
"It's the worst thing going. A fellow
would rather fight twclre dozen times
than train once, Imt it's get te Ikj dene,"
and he leaned back in the easy chair with
an nir of weariness.
"De yen like prize fighting?" I asked
Mr. Sullivan.
"1 don't," he replied. "Of ceurse I
did once, or rather I was fend of travel
ing nbeut and tlie excitement of the
crowds, but this is my last fight."
"Why?"
"Well, I'm tired nnd I want te settle
down. 1 am getting old," nnd he leaned
back wearily.
"What is your age?"
"I was lierii the leth of October, 1658.
I liegan prii fighting when I was only
IU years old. Hew did I btart? Well, I
had a match with a prize man who liad
never U-en downed, nnd I was tlie win
ner. Tills get me lets of notice, be I went
through the country giving exhibitions.
I have made plenty of money iu my day,
but I have been u feel and today I have
nothing. It came easy and went easy. I
have provided well for my father nnd
mother, und they nre in comfortable cir
cumstances." "What will you de if you step fight
g?" III;
"If I win this fight I will travel for a
year giving bpaning exhibitions, nud
then I will bettle down. I hnve always
wanted te run a hotel in New Yerk, nnd
if I am successful I think I shall spend
the rest of my life ns a hotel proprietor.'
"Hew much money have you made
during your career as a prize fighter?"
"I hae made "00,000 or $000,000 in
boxing. 1 made $123,000 from Sept. 20,
183:!. te May 20, IbSI, when I traveled
through the country offering 1,000 te
any 0110 I ceuldu't knock out hi four
Ah fwW
reumis, which tauca twolve mmutca."
"By the time I am ready te fight there
won't be any fat en my liands or face.
They will be as hard as a bone. De I
harden them? CcrUiInly. If I didn't I
would have pieces knocked off of me,
I have a mixture of rock salt nnd whlte
wine nnd vinegar and several ether in
gredients which I wash my hands and
face with."
"De you hit a man en the face and
nesk and any where you can?" I asked,
tic nrrs ANTWitcnc nr. can.
"Certainly, nny place abeve the belt
that I get a chance," and he smiled.
"Don't you hate te hit a man se?"
"I don't think nbeut It," still smiling.
"When you see that you liave hurt
him don't you feel sorry?"
"I never feel sorry until the fight is
ever."
"Hew de you feel when you get hit
very hard?"
The dark, bright eyes glanced nt me
lazily nnd the deep, deep voice sold with
feeling:
"I only want a chance te hit beck."
'Did you ever see a man killed In the
ring?"
"Ne, I never did, ami I only knew of
ene fellow who died in the ring, and
that was Walker, who died nt Philadel
phia from neglect nftcr the fight was
ever."
Although I had my breakfast liefern
reaching Mr. Muldoon's cettage I oc ec
ceptcd his proposal te break bread with
him end his guests. At a nearer view
the dining room did net leso nny of Us
pretllness, and the daintiness of every
thing the nrtistie surroundings, the
noiseless and efficient colored waiter,
open windows en both Hides, giv
ing pretty views of green lawn
nnd shady trees, tlie canary birds swell
ing their yellow threats occasionally with
sweet little trills, the green parrot
climbing up Its brass cagennd talking
alwut "crackers," the white table linen
nnd beautiful dishes, down te the large
bunch et fragrant lllnes and another of
beautifully shaped nnd colored wild
(lowers, separated by a sllpicr filled with
velvety jiaiisles was all entirely foreign
te nny idea I had ever conceived of prize
lighters nnd their surroundings.
APPLICATION OF FERTILIZERS.
limply Aitvlre A limit Suiting llrnadrait.

Bone dust Heur nnd most ether com
mercial fertilizers, when fresh, nre quite
dry, se that gardeners find it often In
convenient nnd rather wasteful te apply
these broadcast In the usual method of
sewing by hand.
Popular Gardening calls attention te
the fact that the fertilizer attachment
which new gees with any geed grain
drill distributes such fertilizer in a per
fect way, nud without waste, nnd there
tire also separate fertilizer drills iu tlie
market. This mnchinii method has its
advantages ever hnnd application. It
net only distributes the fertilizer evenly,
but ulsestiis it into the soil; nud as for
the application of larger qiinutiticn, tlie

of the dilemma. All that hi needed is te
moisten the fertilizer sufficiently, just
before applying it, se the wind will net
:arry it off iu dust form. Put a layer of
the stuff into u tight box, or en a tight

Conclusions of the lllrecter of tlie Mary
land Eiperlmeiit Station.
In a bulletin indued by the Maryland
Agricultural Experiment elation, II. K
Alverd, director, gives the following con
dubious in regard te tlie growth of fod
der corn nud fodder cane:
Fer Iho greatest quantity of fodder,
green or dry, corn or caue should be
grown iu drills fur enough apart te iter
mil easy and sufficient cultivation, tlie
space between the lows te Iw governed
somewhat by the size of varieties giewn,
and the plant:! te Ixi thin enough In the
drills te give iimple air nud light te as
sure maturity. Fer corn of the larger
varieties, thu nearest, dcfjnlle rule that
can buK'iiely given is te plant the rows
8 te 8) feet npart and single htalku 0 te 8
inches apart in tlie lows.
Fer best quality of fodder the same
method bheuld be followed as for gieat
Cbt quantity Tlie chemical composition
of fodder com grown in different ways
is found te Iw very similar, und the ex
ceptions occurring de net justify nny
modification of the udvice just given for
getting best quality. The nutritive ratio
nnd iierceiitage of dry substance digest digest
ible nre bligbtly In favor of tlie thicker
seeding, but net enough se te com pen
sate for less In quantity et crop Thick,
seeding nppearti te cause a decrcase iu
tlie iclative amount of nitrogen in the
albumineid form. This diminishes thu
value of the fodder, as the uiiiide nitro
gen b considered te have less nutritive
value.
Te get the most feed value en nu ucre
of coruercanoit should net be cut till
the plants liegin te show signs of drying
nnd withering and the sced3 begin te
glaze, Tiie product of an ucre of bowed
com, an eidinarily grown, has usually a
feed value little mero than half us great
as tbe product of the same ucre in drills,
as nliove advised. The labor expended
in tlie cultivation required by the drill
system is profitably applied, as shown by
the saving of seed and the increased
crop.
A crop of fodder com, grown in drills
nnd well cultivated, served te clean and
impreve the land. Sewed corn broad
