A Goat Swallows $50.

An honest and wellto.do citizen of
South Brooklyn recently leased house,
and, having ample verdure round his
place, it occurred to him that there was
now fine opportunity for maintaining
a goat, which would furnish his little
family with milk Acting upon this
idea, Mr.. Shay, such being the name of
the party, purchased fine mamie goat,
which for week or so was the delight of
the children, while the milk furnished,
which is excellent for tea or coffee, gave
great comfort to the elder members. A
few days since Mr. Shay had received in
payment roll of bills, amounting in the
aggregate to 5000. On entering the
basement of his abode he laid the pack
age of money on the kitchen table
thoughtlessly, and went into an adjoining
room. Meanwhile the goat rambled
round in search of some fresh " cud to
chew w"-as goats are wont to do-espyiug
the pile of greeubacks as it lay near the
edge of the table, she made for it. Slowly
and carefully she nibbled, detaching
note from note in the hight of goatlike
feeling, relishing each bill with evident
gusto, as though conscious of the ex
travagaut morsel undergoing mastica-
ton. After short absence the owner of
the money re entered the room, when his
horror was easier imagined than de-
scribed at the havoc made in his earn
ings. An investigation revealed the
fact that $3.50 of the money had been
utterly destroyed by the quadruped in
question. The facts above recited are
entirely reliable. York NeioS.

A Ghost Story.

The New York Nations Paris corre-
spondent relates the following extraor-
binary and supernatural incident, as
though he expected every one to believe
it. 1t occurred at the military college,
at Sandhurst, near London:
Young Hartly was general favorite
in the college, promising, active young
fellow, fond of the sports usually played
by young men in England, and especially
addicted to cricket. One Saturday after.
noon, young Hartly having been absent
for some time from the college on visit
to his parents in London, the pupils all
turned out for game of cricket. 1t was
fine sunny afternoon; the cricket
ground was full of animation, and the
game was going on merrily. Presently,
to the surprise and satisfaction of all
pupils, young Hartly was seen to enter
the ground, dressed as usual, and looking
in all respects exactly like his usual self.
He went up to the ushers and shook
hands with them, and with a number OF
pupils. All present appear to have seen
him perfectly, and to have felt pleased at
seeing him come back. Presently he
threw himself on the ground, took a cigar
from his pocket, lit it, and began to
smoke, watching the game, meanwhile,
with his usual interest, and every now
and then commenting upon its progress,
criticising this stroke, applauding that,
and seeming as intent on the game as
any of the players. At length he sud-
denly drew out his watch and started to
his feet, exclaiming l am wanted in
London at o'clock, and must be off,
for | have but just time to catch the
train, and rushed from the ground in
the direction of the railroad station.
Much surprised at so sudden departure,
some ofthe pupils took out their watches
and discussed the chances of being in
London by o'clock. Next day brought
to the asi0nished inmates of the college
the news of young Hartly's death, which
had occurred the preceding day at bis
fathers house exactly at o'clock lie
had fallen i'll during his visit home, and,
as was afterward ascertained, had not
once left his bed from the time of his
falling i'll. 1t was also ascertained that,
during the whole Of that last day,
through which he lay in sort of quiet
stupor, his mother had never left his
bedside. We've seen a real apparition
for once in our lives I was the shudder-
ing admission of the cadets when the
news of Hartleys departure reached
them"

The Russian Imperial Household.

In Russia the imperial household
appears annually in the budget for about
100000 roubles; but its account with
the treasury is invariably overdrawn by
100000 or 100000 roubles, making
the total amount derived from the public
revenues about 100000 sterling This
sum includes about 25O,0O0 roubles an.
nually paid to the Chapter of the Impe.
rial Orders of Knighthood for pensions,
etc., and q sum of nearly 100000
roubles for the support of various char
table institutions, and in general for
what may be called privy purse expendi-
lures. More than SOC, 900 roubles figure
in the budget for extraordinary expenses,
while the theaters and some other estab-
lishments, dependent on the minister of
the imperial household, required, in
1866, a..sum of 685, ,627 roubles. 81.
The Imperial court and the admins
tration of its many palaces is estimated
in 1866 to cost 3,924,49 roubles, exelu.

priated to Her Majesty, the Empress, the
heir apparent and other children of their

the total annual expenditure Of the court
of Russia.
The Imperial family are in possession
Of YES. estates which yield about 4,010,

Decline in the Service of Juggsrnsut,

that the great car festival OF Juggernaat
at Pooree no longer draws together such
fearful crowds Of devotees as Il did
formerly. He says:
Take the Juggernaut Poojab at Seram'

that Of Pooree. In 1864 you recorded
how one Of the cars ran over six wor-
shippers, killing four. This year the
crowds we're much less than usual, and
consisted chiefly Of women and children.
One Of the two cars was not dragged at

in an act generally considered as giving

Of money to hire men to do the work

June 18th, 1851.
Dear Baron Lago, Minister Of Austria to Mex
leo;
/ am done with this world my very
last wishes are in regard only to my
mortal remains, which will soon be
freed from all pain, and in regard to those
who must survive me. My physician, DR..
Basch, will have my body brought to
Vera Cruz. He will be accompanied only
by my two servants, Gull and Tudos. ]
have ordered that my body be transported
without any pomp or solemnity to Vera
Cruz, and that on board the vessel that
is to bring it to Europe no unusual cere-
mony take place. / have awaited death
calmly, and l wish to be left in the same
stiffness while in my coffin. You will
take measures, my dear Baron, so that
DR.. Basch and my two servants, who
take my body in care, may accompany it
10 Europe on one Of the two war vessels.
Over there | wish to be buried by nv
poor wife. If the news Of my poor wife's
death should not prove true, my body
be placed somewhere until the Em.
press rejoin me in death Have
the goodness to see that the necessary
orders be forwarded to Captain Groeller.
Have also the goodness to take measures
so that the widow of my faithful com
panion in arms, M.ramon, can go to
Europe on one of the war vessels. /
reckon the more on the ful6llment of this
request as she is charged by me to re-
main with my mother at Vienna. /
again thank you from my heart for the
trouble which you take on my account,
and remain your well-wishing
