Sw1roHEs.-The Springfield (Mass.) Re.
publican says: "The recent revelations
about 'jute the dark, fibrous bark,
wherewith women endeayor cheaply to
counterfeit the luXuriant heads Of hair de-
MED them by nature-have been regarded,
no doubt, as merely sensational, or perhaps
the product of some miSogynic imagina-
nation. But the doubters have no chance.
The disgusting little borers that fill the
fibres of the jute plant, whether used in
massive chignons or long punches, are
causing lively and by no means pleasing
excitement in various quarters. Finding
their way to the heads Of their harborers,
they burrow there until the scalp is raw,
and in some cases affect the whole nervous
system and craze the brain. In this city
several women lie in danger of death from
this loathsome insect; one of these dwells
on the Hill, another on Dwight street, and
the disease in its lesser form is quite FIRE.
quent. Without any hair-splitting, the
moral seems to he that honesty is the best
policy in personal adornment as in busi,
ness, and jute chignons must take their
place with the poisonous dyes and lotions
of the quacks as among the implements ol
fashionable suicide"

a Ghost Btory-sne MuDdy and His
Phantom Bride Revisit the Glimpses
nf tfs, HJooxp H. !sss-f. tiEf ~ ..EtE

A recent number of the Louisville Con-.
f1er-Journdi has the followlng:
Many of our readers remember the daring
exploits of jerome Clark, alias Sue Mum,
dy, the notorious guerrilla and robber
during the war, and his subsequent execu-
| ton in this city by the military authorities.
The story Of his life and crimes has been re.
ViVed In very singular manner. For some
weeks past the people living near Eigh.
teenth and Broadway, the place of his exc.
| cution, have been startled by strange sighs
| and sounds. The ghost OF Sue Muncly has
been seen fitting across the commons in
the vicinity Of the fatal tree, at all hours of
the night. Sometimes alone, with his hands
pinioned behind him and the fatal cap
drawn over his eyes again, dangling in the
air, with a rope around his neck, struggling
as if in the agonies Of death. : 2a.1,
| At other times he was accompanied by
all stepped in crime as he was, and to
whom he wrote so affectionately with
his manacled hands few hours be-
fore his death. Many of the people were
skeptical on the subject, and attempted to
solve the mystery. The strange couple were
seen by hundreds of people, but always,
when closely approached, mysteriously dis
appeareti-vanished into thin air. Every
attempt to solve the mystery only tended to
deepen it, and many of the people of the
vicinity finally believed that the objects that
they saw were Sue Mundy and his phantom
bride. The ghosts got to be real terror,
and the nervous maidens and children were
afraid to venture out after dark. The
ghosts finally got to be such an annoyance
that the police were appealed to, and on
Sunday night last Lieutenant John Shelly
was Informed that the ghosts were
IN full view. He went to the spot
sure, enough, and saw the tall form
Of q man with female, all dressed
in white, hanging on his arm, walking
slowly in the direction of the fatal tree,
and finally take seat. He went up to them
Erapidly, when the female in white suddenly
disappeared, or at least seemed to do so.
The Lieutenant fastened on and seized hold
of the man, and the ghost story was at an
end. The man was real flesh and blood,
and the female in white had not disap-
peared. She had only thrown a long black
cloak over her white dress, thus concealing
her from view except upon o close inspec-
ton. They were a couple of lovers, who,
for lack of better place, had chosen
the fatal tree as a trysting-place, knowing
its history. As there is no law prohibiting
lcourting, the Lieutenant released them and
explained the matter to the terrified people.

A HEROIC WoMAN-SHE PLUNGEs INTO

consisting of Mr.. Thomas Mclaughlin, the

wife of Captain John Trimble, were spend.

procured a small boat and took the ladies
out Tor a pull round the bay. They had
been out but a short time when Mr.. Nc
| Laughlin complained Of bad feeling in
the head, and requested the ladies, who
| were both accustomed to boat-salins, to
take the oars, which they did, sculling the
Laughlin in the meantime sitting in the
| stern. In few moments he swooned and
| fell backwards into the water, which at that
point was some forty fathoms deep.
| "Mrs. Trimble Immediately jumped to

threw him an oar, which he was unable to
notice, as he presented livid appearance,
and was apparently in drowning condi-

appreciating The importance OF quick work,
Mrs. Trimble, who had slight knowledge
of the art of swimming, sprang from the
boat into the water, 4 distance OF some six

"Mrs. Trimble is the wife of Captain
John Trimble, Of the brig Timothy Fields,
now on passage from Washington, D. c.,
to this city, and the above is not the first in
