Awake I tu proceeding leisurely on foot to Eroadreen, when on passing the church at Knotty Ash my attention was sud denly arrest.! by the strange and tin canny appearance of ita graveyard. The time was abort! y after midnight. Tb whole burying ground seemed alive and glistening with a thousand email bluish lights, which appeared to creep in and ut of the different graves, as if the de parted spirit were taking a midnight ramble. I stood petrified, not knowing what to make of it. at the tame time ex periencing a feeling of horror which sud denly took complete possession of me. Just at this moment the moon, which had hitherto been more or less bscared by a moving panorama of passing clouds, cane, as it would seem, to my assist ance, giving me for a very short time the benefit of her companionship And now appeared the most startling phe nomenon of all a phenomenon which caused my hair to stand on end with fright, a cold numbness of horror pra lyring me in every limb, for, advancing rip the road directly opposite to me. came a funeral train, the coffin borne along with a measured tread, covered with an immense black pall which flut tered op in the midnight wind. At first I thought 1 must surely be dreaming, and thereupon pinched myself in the arm to ascertain if this were real ly the case. But. no; 1 certainly was not for I distinctly felt the nip, and was thereupon satisfied as to my wakeful ness. "What could it all mean?" I asked myself, as the cortege gradually ap proached me and I began to distinguish the general outlines of the bearers. These appeared to be elderly men and to have lived in a bygone age. All were dressed in the coetume of the latter part of the Eighteenth century. They wore tie wigs, and some had svsnrds, as well as walking sticks mount ed with deatUieadk 1 observed only one rvally young man among the crowd of followers, walking just behind the coffin. A GHOSTLY CORTEGE. His youth in comparison with the others, perhaps, made me take especial notice of fciin. He was dressed in what appeared to be black velvet, the white ness of his ruffles standing out in marked contrast to the somber nature of his gen eral attire. He carried a sword, had diamond buckles on his shoes, and wore , his powdered hair in a cue. The face of this young man was deathly pale, as were also the faces of all the others ac companying him. Instead of the pro cession advancing to the gate at which 1 stood, it turned suddenly and entered the burial ground by the one situated at a few yards' distance. As the coffin was borne through this pate all the blue spirit lighu seemed to rise from the graves as if to meet the cor tege for the purpose of escorting the body to last resting place. These awful lights added considerably to the ghastliness of the scene as they floated over the coffin and heads of the mourn ers. Slowly the procession glided np the pathway, passing the main entrance of the church, and. continuing its way in a straight line, finally disappeared at the Lack of tne edifice. '" Where this most extraordinary funeral went to or what became' of - it 1 cannot tell: but this much 1 distinctly aver, that coffin, mourners and lights even the pale, flickering moonlight all dis appeared as mysteriously as they came. leaving me standing in he darkness transfixed with astonishment and fright. Upon gathering together my somewhat scattered senses I took to my heels and never stopped running till I found my self la my own house. In fact, I scarce ly remember how 1 got home. AFTERTHOUGHTS. ' After recovering a little from the hock I immediately aroused a female relative who had retired for the night and related to her the above particulars. She assured me that 1 must have been Buffering from mental hallucination, but seeing the great perturbation, of my xiund, and at the same time knowing my natural skepticism with regard to ail so called supernatural phenomena, she came to the conclusion that, after all, 1 might possibly have seen what has been de scribed above. The next day I made inquiries in the neighborhood of Knotty Ash. and ascer tained from a very old woman that she remembered a story in her youth having reference to the mysterious and sudden death of an old occupant of Thingwall Hall, who was hastily and quietly buried. she thought, at miduight, in old Knotty Ash churchyard. If so, was f.his a ghast ly repetition of the event gotten cp for tny especial benefit, or was it a portent intended to foreshadow the coming of the dread visitor to myself? Kow, as I have before stated, I am no believer in ghobts, but certainly this re markable experience of mine has entirely tipset all my previously conceived na tions of the subject, leaving me in a quandary of doubt. On the evening upon which I saw the mysterious funeral at Knotty Ash I was exceedingly wide wake, had met several cyclists on the Prescott road with whom 1 conversed. Strange that a few hundred yards farther down the road I should encounter so ghastly an experience an experience 1 ahall never forget to my dying day, Liverpool Post i A w Cm for Diamonds.

Horologies! Journal & Larger Taaa Brooklra. The exaggerations of Vossius, Lipsius and Chateaubriant who give to imperial Rome 14.000,000, 5,000.000 and 3,000,000 of inhabitants are too absurd to deserve notice. Hume, who, in his masterly es say on the "Populonsness of Ancient Nations," has discussed the question of the population of Rome with his usual learning and good sense, arrives at the Conclusion that Route, when at her semth, might have been as populous as London in 1760; in other words, that she might have bad from 700,000 to S00.OU0 inhabitants. Gibbon estimated the popu lation at 1,200,000, but it would appear that the more moderate estimate ot Eume is the more accurate. The popu lation of Rome at ittJargiest. therefore, did not exceed that of Brooklyn in 1S8L Brooklyn Eagle. Tfta Flight of tha Stork. The stork is a remarkably picturesque bird; its snowy body contrasting with the bright red beak and' legs and black juill feathers of the -wings, make a striking object. The flight is magnifi cent bolder aad more buoyant than that of a heron. Like most large birds, it powers of flight show best when it is at a great height. When we were on the Bastei rock, in Sax cn Switzerland, a pair passed overhead, flying southward. Though hia h above us, we could clearly see the black pinion feathers; and as we waicaod the powerful beat of the wide epreading wings we thought of the angels in Zachariah's vision who had "wings like the stork."

AFTER ALL BIG FIRES. MEN WHO MAY BE SEEN IN THE RUINS OF A CONFLAGRATION. Strut Things Ilappoa Tba Ordinary -Pcopla Would Never Drcaat AVoat. Th. Work That rireaaoa, Po'.kemn, FatrolaieB aad Adjoatera After the fire is over, what then? The average citizen sees only a heap of smok ing rjina and thinks that nothing re mains to be done but to clear tbew away And build anew. But to the initiated the details of the work are manifold, rbere are four bodies of men actively concerned with the ruins. . . , First the firemen. They distrust the red dragon; He may be lurking under any. of the hei of bricks, ready for a fnih outbreak. So they do what they rail overhauling. They turn over all the nroking piles and drench he embers and wet down the neighboring walla ind remain on guard until everything is ;oid. Sometimes they have to waif aearly a week, and their work after the 3re is very Laborious, as in the Park place fire, where so many lives were lost Thrive days after the fire was over there were still fifty firemen at work on the ruins getting out, the , bodies and watching the place to make sure that no flames would start up again. Many of these fifty men worked for forty-eight hours incessantly, with only three hours intervals for deals. At the great fire that destroyed the Havemeyer sugar re finery it was more than a week before the ruins were cold enough to be safe. Second, the police. They protect the firemen from tha" crowds of citizens who come to look on and the property res cued from the rabble who come to loot Thev draw what is called a fire line about the burning building and keep it up after it is burned till the work of the firemen is done. Third, the fire patrol. This is a pro fessional band of property rescuers, maintained by the insurance companies. It was organized forty years ago, and was then composed entirely of members of the volunteer fire department. In ltttt ii was incorporated under a charter which commissioned ib to save lives and Dronertr at fires. In the first place it reallywas a patrol, walking about the streets from 7:30 o'clock each evening till 5:30 o'clock next morning looking for fires. Now it is called to fires in the same way as the regular fire depart ment Its men used to wear the same uniforms as the firemen, but there was a row over ttiat and now they are distin guished by red stripes. THE KIKE PATROL. The men of the fire patrol go out with trucks, one truck from each station. Each truck carries eleven men ana axes, ladders, brooms, shovels, crowbars and twenty-four immense tarpaulin cover ings, with which the fire patrol rusnea into a building comparatively safe from fire, but drenched with water, and covers up the goods there. The patrolmen usually work under the firemen. For instance, if there is a fire on the fourth floor they are busy on the third floor and the floors below covering np goods with the tarpaulins and removing them out of the way of water. They also follow the hose lines where these lines run through buildings not on fire to stop all leaks in the hose or set buckets under the leaks or protect goods from spray.- They can't tell till the fire is over whether the property they are saving is insured or not; therefore they go ahead without paying any attention to the question. The fire patrol follow the firemen and fix things up. saving all they can for the insurance companies and stopping all unnecessary damage. When the fire men and police have gone away the fire patrol stavs with the agents of the own ers, guarding the goods till the insur ance is settled or the rescued property is removed to a place of safety. After all is said and done t; the fire proper, come the insurance adjusters poking about the rums. This is a small high priced body of shrewd and experi enced men, whose business is to find out on behalf of the insurance companies Low much the loss was. An insurance adjuster will always tell you that his is a judicial function, just as a district at torney always contends that he is acting judicially, though the prisoner may not think so. The insured seldom agree with the insurance adjuster. He is sent on behalf of the insurance companies, and is on the watch for fraud. THE ADJrSTEKS' WORK. The serious work does not usually be gin till the ashes are cold. Insurance companies don't take inventories of the property insured nowadays. The con tents of a store are constantly changing. They wait for the insured to make out his claim in itemized form. Then they call for the books and the vouchers. Maybe all books and vouchers are burn ed. In that case the memory of the owner must do its best to supply the de ficiency. Frauds are frequent, and the adjusters are usually in business for tueinstlves not attached to any particular company, but hired by the job, just like lawyers or private detectives. They have to keep their eyes wide open. In cases like the Park place fire, where everything becomes a heap of ruins in an instant, and no books or papers or ma terial evidence of any kind is left, the adjusters have to depend on careful scrutiny of the itemized claims; but in numbers of other cases where the fire de partment does its work rapidly the ad justers make most astonishing finds. After the insurance is settled the owner of the building puts the ruins np for sale. There are a cumber of con tractors in the city who will buy them on speculation. New York Recorder.

Today, as yesterday, as tomorrow, and as for a long time to come, the situation of France and Germany forms the great subject of 'anxiety which is imposed upon the meditation of all European statesmen. At so other point is it fore seen that war can break out Russia has great ambitions and Italy has strong de sires, but Russia is for years doomed merely to cherish ambitions, for she can not realize thein single handed, and it does not depend cpon her to provoke a general war, which would be one result of her combined action with France; wnue as lor Italy, sue will never venture to give the signal of war, fur if she did she would be left to herself and would be speedily crushed. It could be solely as the result of a general war that Italy could obtain her share, and in the pres ent state of her alliances she) could take that share only from France, so that a general war alone could procure it for her. inasmuch as, if she were left single handed, she would not be able to over come France. Neither Austria nor England dreams of war. It is therefore still, as twenty years ago, France and Germany who could occasion war; because, whatever may be alleged, whatever may be pro claimed or whatever may be concealed, these two nations desire war war, first for its own saku, and next for the rest; and if, in order to have done with this everlasting Franco-German nightmare, Europe could now promise to fold her arms, and afterward to to terrene merely as arbiter.-, war would break out to-morrow between Fraace and Germany, for the fatality of war haunts and overrides both nations. -De Blowiu in Harper's.
