A WOMAN IN GREY.
A CRIlMEIN EPISODE.
BY LACELLIES wRAXALL.

The barren plateau, on which the al
lied armies were camped before Sebasto-
pol, was naturally suggestive of many
superstitlous iancies among the troops.
The outlying sentinel, with his eye at
the uppermost degree of attention, to de-
tect some crouching spy. eventually saw
imaginary forms around him, and the
darkness became peopled with denizens
of another world. Many stories of ghost
ly manifestations were current, very few
Of them possessing any other foundation
than the imaginary fancy of the credu-
lous soldier /; but there are one or two
authenticated stories of ghosts, one OF
which will tell here, as heard it from
the lips of an officer OF an Irish regiment,
who was conyersant with all the de-
tails.
A soldier on being relieved from guard
one winters night, swore stoutly that he
had been haunted during the whole per-
iod of duty by a woman in grey, who
made signals to him, which he, good
Catholic as he was, declined to follow.
He was laughed at, but when the sentry
on duty the next night told the same sto-
ry. the most incredulous began TO be-
lieye. When week had passed away
and every night the same occurrence
happened, the regiment was so infected
with alarm that the captain of the day
thought il high time 10 interfere. For
this purpose he summoned to his coun-
sells one Patrick Leary, a colorsergeant,
who was popularity supposed to fear nei-
ther man nor the devil. The captain
lent the non commissioned officer re-
yolyer, bidding him TO fire ii he found it
absolutely necessary, but TO do his best
to capture the woman alive. Mr.. Pat
took hearty dram of rum and went on
sentry go, much TO the relief Of the men
warned for that nights duty.
Ii was a dark misty night when Pat
commenced his duty round, ard enough
TO make any man feel uncomfortable.
The gallant Pat however, SO long as the
rum lasted, whistled the Night on
which Larry was stretched" soto poce,
stamped his feet to restore the chilled
circulation. Somehow or other he began
TO feel very lonely, and almost wished
that the ghost would come, if only 10
bear him company. His wishes were
soon fulfilled, for hearing slight sound, /,
and raising his rifle to his shoulder. he
saw dusky form gibbering at him in
the distance. Pat began scraping and
boming in reply, and the figure en-
eouraged by this. drew nearer. Pat laid
bis trelock on the ground, as If TO en-
courage the other. but placed his hand
carefully on his revolver. There was
nothing like being prepared But if il were
A woman-the thought fairly turned the
honest sergeants mind. Ere long the
figure approached SO near that Pat was
enabled 10 challenge

Major General Butler.

A story is told of this distinguished
man for the hour, who has for many
years been one of the most prominent
lawyers in Massachusetts, and it is said
has tried more jury cases within the last
ten years than any other lawyer in the
United States.
A young girl employed in one of the
factories In Lowell, where Mr.. Butler re
sides, had been discharged, and the cor
poration refusing to pay her. she sought
legal redress, and retained Mr.. Il. as
counsel. He listened to her case with
much interest, and afterwards presented
the claim to the proper agent Of the cor
poration, who still refused to pay the
girl her honest dues. Butler issued a
writ, and attached the main water wheel
Of the factory, aud by bringing the whole
concern TO a dead stand, soon convinced
them that it was worth while to attend to
these little matters rs they 30 along

his main wheel, and will bring the trait

In due season Gen. Butler will speak
again, but this time with the grim lips OF
brass, and although somewhat in iron

he uses will fall with some weight upon
his animated advance ! We feel author
lied to announce that he will speak with
