THE SPIRITS OF THE AIR

[N. Y. Correspondence of the San Francisco Bull
letn.
Years ago a man was in the employ o
Bigelow & Kennart, great jewlery firm
in Boston, in the capacity of eneraver. BE
was an ingenious fellow, and bought
among other things a Photographic ap.
paratus, and went to taking pictures fol
amusement. Mr.. Kennard tells the story
that ne day he took a picture on plate
that had been previously used and rubbed
out, and when he developed it the original
picture came ont more faint and shadowy
As joke he showed it to spiritualistIc
friend. and told him il was the work Of a
spirit. The latter readily believed il, and
called some of his friends in, all wondered
al it, and some sat for their pictures and
were perfectly taken and taken in. So the
business started up, ard the artist was
doing well.
One afternoon the Hon. Colorado Jewett
called at the artists studio, and Said he
wanted the spirits of the great men of the
past to come to his aid and inspire him to
do great things. He wanted his picture
taken With tile spirits of these men in the
background. and asked the artist to put
him through In that line. The artist told
him he could not do it then, but if he
would come again he would accommodate
him. or at all events would make the
effort.
In the evening the artist went out and
procured tue portraits of Webster, Clay,
Calhoun, Benton and Napoleon, and the
next morning, before Jewett arrived, he
had the plates properly prepared, Jewett
sat for five pictures in succession, and one
affer another the great men gathered
around him. Jeweti was delighted, but
he wanted Washington, and begged the
artist to bring the Father Of his Country to
him. The artist could not DO it as he had
no Washington in the house, anG finally
Jewett knelt upon the floor ard prayed TO
have Washington come to his aid. Blu,
Washington didn' t come: the artist thought
il would be carrying the joke too far, and
so the great American diplomatic departed
without him.

A Terrible Fight with Rob
bers.

Mr.. c. L. Goodrich writes To US Eor,
Ogden concerning most singular adven-
TUE of his and miraculous escape from
being killed and robbed. He left here for
Chicago about two weeks since, going by
way of railroad stage line to Elko, thence
intending TO make his way from tire end OF
the track TO Ogden by such conveyance as
he could find. On Tuesday, the 9th inst,
he had hired two men to carry himself
and baggage eleven miles In wagon from
Cedar City to Blue Creek, in Utah. Night
came on and the intended robbers left the
direct route and took a wood road leading
up long cedar canon. On getting six or
seven miles out Of the way, they came 10
what appeared to be wood chopper s
cabin, where there were three men. Tie
men with the wagon, to their apparent
great surprise. just now, first learned that
they had lost their way, and turned the
wagon and team around, heading down
the hills. Mr.. Goo1rich was about TO
take his baggage out of the Wagon, when
they objected and seized hold of his valise
to take it away from him, the othcre
drawing weapons, and telling him to ''shell
OUT or they would kill him. He of course
refused. We know OF no man in the
world who would more certainly refus 10
give up his money without an equi a'ent
than Goodrich, or more strenuosly object
under no matter how trying circum-
stances. The chief of the gang had a dra
govn pistol, and the others flourIshed
knives. MIR. Goodrich continued his OBJ
jections to being robbed, When ting crIfef
fred a. hi.n with his dragOon pistol, MISS
ing him entirely. Goodrich returned the
fire as deliberately as possible under the
circumstances, killing him instantly. Ans
other OF the gang 'iren rushed at him with
an upliited knife, but another shot stag
gered him, and caused him to- drop his
knife, At this point the other three ran
away. The shooting, which had been at
a distance of only a few PAGES, now came
TO close fight, but Goodrich got in three
more shots, which induced the road agen.
to lie down gasping, "Gray you have
killed your friend" Gray was the name
of the man first killed. Not being hurt,
and not liking to stay all night in tile
locality, Goodrich picked up his valise and
followed after the horses, which by this
time had ran away down the hill, and
torn tile wagon and harness into thous-
and fragments. He travelled on all night,
and finally made his way to Ogden, whence
he writes US, as well as many of his
friends in town and his brother III Idaho
City, these particulars.

who solaced her widowhood with the

a Theatrical Incident.


Some years ago the manager of a well
regulated theatre. somewhere along the
line of the Erie Canal, engaged a good
looking and brisk young lady as snpcr-
numerary. Ii happened that the young
lady in question had formerly ofliciatcd in
some capacity as hand on a canal boat.
fact that she WAS anxious to conceal.
She evinced much anxiety to master The
details of the newly chosen profession,
and soon exhibited more than ordinary
degree of comic talent. She was duly
promoted; and in TINE became a general
favorite with both manager and public.
One night she was announced to appear
in favorite part. a compile of boatmen
found their way into the pit, near the foot
lights, particularly anxious to see the now
famous commedienne. The house was
crowded, and after the subsistence of the
general applause which greeted her ap-
pearance, one of the boatmen slapped his
companion on the shoulder, and with an
enphltIc exp'etiye- exclaimed loud enough
to be heard over half the house:
'Bi.l, know that gall

Tom was siencet. but not covinced.
He watched the actress in all her motions,
with intense interest, and ere long broke
out again:
TtelI ye, Bill, that's her-I know her
too well.'
Bill, who was a good deal interested in
the play, was out of all patience at this
persistent interruption on the part of Tom.
He gave him a tremendous nudge in the
ribs with his elbow, as IN emphatic hirt
to keep quiet.
Tom, without minding the adu.oniticn,
said:
.You just wait-rll fix her Keep your
eye on me-,
Sure enough. he did FIX her. Watching
his opportunity when the actress was
deeply absorbed in her part, re sang out
with voice which rang out through the
galleries:

From the force Of habit lie actress
instantly and .involuntarily ducked her
head to avoid the anticipated collision.
Down came the heusc with perfect
thunder of applause at this 'pa'pable hit

heard, as he returned Bills punch in the
ribs with interest:

play such afiiiction over an unfortunate
ticket, as Dami did when he drew blank.
He was in dispair; and Little Barefoot
felt the blow with equal force, for the po-

When Little Barefoot met him cnce In

from his shoulder, asked:
Where do You think this is going?'
Into the WOOD she answered; but it
won't so itself, unless some one drives

Footsteps ON the stairs.

Miss thee now--those Little feet
That used TO come SO oft.
Theslittle voice that used to speak
So sweet, so siIyery soft,
And now, when l am all alone,
Engrossed in daily cares,
l listen, but It's all in vain,
For the footsteps on the stairs"
For when / read, or sing, or play,
Or join in pleasures sweet,
seem to see her glad and gay,
And miss those little feet.
Oh, it is hard to think she's gone,
With all her winning airs.
To think l never more shall hear
Her footsteps on the STAIRS
Her dark brown hair still clusters round
Her brow so white and clear,
And on her face, now pale and cold,
I've shed full many q tear,
The lids have dropped DER her dark eyes
DEATHS icy seal is theirs.
'Tis lie that has forever hushed.
Those footsteps or the stairs"

The shining streets OF Heaven;

A golden Crown is given;

Safe from earti's sinful snarcs;
Yet still / weep, and pause to hear
The footsteps on the stairs"

By MARY MIcKLEs.
They tell thee have ceased TO love,
Another holds my heart,
Whose every chord thy hand could SWEEP
Whose every pulse could start.
But oh, do thou believe them no:,
Nor let one doubt or fear
Bring to thy bonnie brow cloud,
Into thine eye a tear.
Wouldst wish that oil should read thu

Thou knowest is all thine own?
That 10 the curious, common gaze,
It's pages all were shown?
l would that thou the royal flower
OF this poor heart should wear;

To : rine at which reverent bow,
Another may not knecl;
For only Gsd and love should see
The heart Its all reveal.
