On examining the body. marks of violence were plainly, visible. The wound. that no doubt caused her death, was upon l the head. It was a severe fracture, and must have been inflict- , ed with some sharp instrument. It caused the greatest excite- ment among the usually denizens of Bath.

The_barren plateau, on which the allied armies were encamped fbefore Sebastopol, was naturally suggestive of many supersti- . tious fancies among the troops. The outlying sentinel, with his , eye at the uftermost degree of tension, to detect some crouching spy, eventually saw imaginary forms around him, and the dark- ness became peopled with the denizens of another world. Many Sl3LI‘l€S of ghostly manifestations were current, very few of them ‘possessing any other foundation than the imaginary fancies of the credulous soldier; but there are one or two authenticated stories of ghosts, one of which I will tell here, as I heard it from __ the lips of an officer of an Irish regiment, who was conversant .‘ with all the details.

This estimate. however, should only be considered an approximation. as the immigrants who have settled permantly in this country since 1851 are not taken into ac.-ount. and the number of the births and deaxhs during the period has been obtained by using the English averages.

Of the entire number of’ emigrants the largest proportion was from the county and city of Cork. which contributed more than 12 per cent. of the total emigration; the other counties and cities in Munster also gave a large proportion. owing to which it would appear that this province lost a greater number of its inhabitants by emigration since 1851 than either Leinster, U1- ster. or Connaught. I here beg to observe, that [ have not for the last. three years procured the l articular information, relative to weeds. which. during some p'evious seasons, formed part, of the inquiries made by the enumerators. and from which was de. rived a tolerably accurate estimate of the great extent to which weeds were permitted to grow and shed their seeds not only along the sides of the highroads, railways, and canals, but also on the tillage and grass lands of the country. And. I regret to stafe. that I continue, to receive communications from various qiiarters whi»-h show that but little improvement has taken place in abating what may be termed weed nuisance in Ireland. Be. fore 1857 the returns of tillage and live stock were obtained du- ring the months of August and September-—a period when we- ds could be easily observed by the enumerators; it is how- ever. now considered that the beginning of June—a date when those vegetable pests of the farm have not reached maturity——is the most S~IlLHble time to a.=cert.ain the acreage under crops an_d the number of live stock. I, therefore, found that a satisfactory statement regarding the prevalence of weeds could not he fur- nlshed to me by the enumerators so early in the year as June. and for this reason discontinued the inquiry. I have, however. cmitlned to call public attention to the great apathy which pre- vails in many parts of «the country on this important m1hj.ocf; and trust that some legal enactment—which, I have no doubt, would he most gratefully received by the farming Cla.9Rng_may soon he in force to compel the destruction of weeds with winged Rtledsl lwfnre tb»-v are allowed to ripen.

For this purpose he summon- ed to his counsels one Patrick Leary. a color sergeant,who was popularly supposed to fear neither man nor devil. The captain lent the non-commissioned a revolver. bidding him fire if he found it absolutely necessary, but to do his best to capture the woman alive. Mr. Pat took a hearty drain of rum and went on sentry go, much to the relief of the men warned for that night’s dut . 15 was a dark and misty night when Pat commenced his duty round. and it was enough to make any man feel uncomfortable. The gallant Pat. however, so long as the effect of the rum lasted, whistled “The Night before Larry was stretched.” softo core, and stamped his feet to restore the chilled circulation. Somehow or another, though, he began to grow very lonely. and almost wished that the mails would come. if only to bear him company. His wi.-hes were soon fulolled for hearing a slight sound. and raising his rifle to his shoulder. he saw adusky form gibbering at him in the distance. Pat began rooping and mowing in reply. and the woman apparently encouraged by this, drew nea“ er. Pat laid his firelock on the ground. as if to encourage the other, but put his hand carefutly on his revolver. There was nothing like being prepared; but if it were a woman—-—the thought fairly turned the honest sergeants mind. Ere long the figure approached so near that Pat was enabled to challenge 1- ' -‘who goes there "” “A friend !” the stranger replied, in a musical though foreign voice “Advance, friend, and give the countersign,” the sergeant mechanically said. J nst as the figure approached Pat. the moon broke from be- hind a cloud, and enabled him to see the woman ’s features. The most astonishing thing was the immense grey beard the figure wore. Pat, as a traveller, was accustomed to strange sights, bu‘ this surpassed all. In a second, though, the truth flashed upon him. and he made ready for action. “ Come here. my darlint,” Pat said. artfully. but the woman did not seem inclined to obey. The moonlight had evidently destroyed the stranger’s calculations. She fell back a step or two, and then turned to fly. But it was too late; Pat was after her with a f.iger’s bound, and, impeded by her petticonts. she stumbled and nearly fell.‘ Inta second, however. she recovered, and turned on the Sergeant with a most uhcomfortable-looking yataghan. - “Tear an’ ’oun_s,” the Sergeant shouted, “the woman’s the devil— I can stand nails, but these are rather too sharp.” A low mocking laugh bursts from the stranger's lips, as he tried to get between Pat and -his musket. But the Sergeant was on his guard; pretending to fly he managed to bog; down within the grasp of the woman, and. and caiigbt at her capote. The next moment the yataghan had passed through the fleshy part of‘ his arm, but he did not relax his bold. He grappled with the stranger, but meeting with an unexpected resistance, he drew his revolver. The stranger clutched at it with frantic energy. and a terrible struggle ensued. which terminated by the pistol suddenly exploding, and the stranger fell to the ground with a groan, while Pat, weakened by the loss of blood followed the example. The quaiter guard. aroused by the shot, soon hurried up to the st-ot, and both were borne into camp, The glrnngl-Y1‘ was placed in a but. and a surgeon fetched. and it was evid--nt that the ghost in grey was a fine looking old man. He was, however. declared to be in a very dangerous state. for the ball had passed through his lungs. His condition was kindly evnlained to him. and he told his story readily enough. His name was Constantine. and he was by birth 3, Pole, Having been er gaged in the revolution of 1831. he was saved from the death that fell to the lot of his comrades. to endure a worse fate. He and his family were transf rred to Bu sin. and he was ftrced to perform the most degrading duties in the secrof. police. For twenty three years he had endured the hu. militation, for the sake of his wife and child. but be little reck- oned wliat was in store for him When the war with the allies became eminent. he was ordered with his family to Seliastopol‘ for he was a perfect French and Ga-rman scholar ; and when the campaign commenced. he was compelled to risk his life nightly. by going out to spy the progress the enemv made, Death stared him in the face either way; if he refused. the sen- tpnce paused upon him at Warsaw still remained in force which, if be obeyed, he was in hourly risk of detection. Why not desert ? But the Russian police were Macliiavel‘s. His daugh- ter Eudoxia, a lovely girl of three and twenty. was taken into the Governor’s house, ostensibly to protect her from the horrors of the seine; but Constantine was given fully to understand that her life depended on his fidelity. The poor father was sorely distracted; his hatred of the Russians was counterbalanced by his love for his daughter, the only treasure he possessed in the world, for- his wife had succumbed under the prlvations and exposure of a winter journey across the steppe. Need I say that the father triumphed over the man 2 Constantine was a nightly visitor to our lines‘. and bv the cleverness with which he played the character of a French or English linesman, long escaped detection. At length, a dreadful ordeal was offered him ; he was told that if he could only induce an English soldier to desert, from whom some valuable information might be obtained, his sentence would be reversed, and he would be free to go where be pleased with his daughter. Maddened by the thought of freedom. Con- stantine attired himself in feminine garb. hoping thus to attract some sentinel f'rom his post. He would then wound him. though not dangerously, and drag him into the Russian lines. In fact, it grew a monomania with Constantine, that he must catch a Briton alive : but, unfortunately, in Sergeant Leary, he caught a Tartar. , Such was the story he told. and which aroused considerable interest amrng the hearers. It reached the ears of Lord Raglan himself, who visited the prisoner, and bade him be of good cheer; no harm should befal him. But Con tantine shook his‘ head sndly ; of what value was life to him now, when he was separated from his Eudoxia? I need not say that every kind- ness was shown to the poor fellow. and the doctors vied with each in their attention to him. But. there was little chance of saving him : the wretched conical ball was apparently embedded in his back bone, and there was no prospect of moving it. Pardon, reader, such a commonplace story, but the end is not yet. Two days later. Sergeant Leary. who had bound his flesh wound up, and laughed at it, was at work in the front paral- lel. He was sitting in the trench, smoking a very dirty short pipe. and growling inwardly, when his wound gave him a Mitch It was a lovely night, and double caution had to be exercised, for the Russians were all alive, and seenirv-d shooting for a wager at the men in the trenches. Pat, pliilosopliicallv, took off his shake, and placed it on the top of the earthwork. In five minutes he took it down again, and, lo ! there were three Minie balls clean through it. “Wirrah l” said Pat, as he comically surveyed the damage, “ here’s a patent ventilator.” ‘- Lucky for you,” a young ensign remarked, “ that your head wasn't in it.” “ Arrah. your honor, and do you suppose that these dirty bul- lets would go through my head ?

A suppressed laugh ran along the trenches, but Pat was not at all put out. “Boys!” he remarked with solemn pathos, “since the un- lucky day that I landed in this filthy country. not a night has passed that I havn’t put at least a pint of bad spirits into this carcass of mine, and there is not a man among you can say he has seen me the worse for it.

Hilloh l what’s their game now, I Woudhei‘ 2” The men jumped up involuntaraily, for the firinz from the Russian guns had grown tremendous. Forgetting all caution, they sprang on the breastwork, naturally supposing that the enemy meditated a sortie. They were in perfect. safety howev- er; all the bullets were at present directed at a single figure, which was crossing the open at frantic speed. Our men cheered heartily, as thestranger pressed on, ntterlv reckless of the show- er of lead, and some two or three fellows, Leary at their head, rushed out to rescue him. Great was the sergeant’s surprise, though. when be recognised in the stranger the woman in Grey. But there was no time for inquiry. The Russians had opened all their batteries. as if disgused at not bringing down their victim. and for an hour the very earth shoot: with the vibration. Suddenly the fire died away. as we did not conde- scend to reply to it: the moon retreated behind a cloud in dis- gust, and there was silence for the rest of the night. In the meanwhile Sergeant Leary had convinced himself that this Mr. Jones was not that Mr. Jones; the stranger instead of wielding to a yafagan. employed a far more dan..erous weapon in a pair of the most lovely eyes ever seen. " hen, in the most seductive voice (Leary swore afterwards that he understood every word. but don’t believe him). she asked after her father’s welfare. She spoke in French, and, at any rate, the officer of the watch comprehended her. and sent a party with her at once to headquarters. Lord Raglan no sooner heard of‘ the heroism she had displayed. in order to join her father, than he gave di- rections that she should be treated with all possible kindness, and h-ave free access to the prisoner. Her presence was better than all the doctor’s stuff to Constantine; he rapidly recovered, but Eudoxia’s duties were not over then By some stupid mistake, Leary managed to run his renowned head against a Minie ball. which sadly injured his personal ap- pearance, and for some reason or another. Eudoxia insisted on nursing him. It may be that his repeated visits -to her father had touched her heart, but when do I know?
