THE spirit photographers have moved
from Illinois to Texas, and are now astonish-
ing the people of Robertson County, in the
latter State. Quite recently farmer, whose
veracity is answered for by the Calvert
Tribune, used white sheet, made from
''bolt towels" and more than half worn,
to protect his wagon from the weather.
On removing it, after several days, he was
amazed to find the sheet covered over with
well-dcined sketches of trees, shrubs and
decayed logs. AS there was no evidence
that an artist, in the flesh, had lately been
in the neighborhood, the farmer and his
wife, in the absence Of any reasonable eluci-
dalton Of the mystery, have arrived at the
conclusion that visitors from the unseen
world have been induced to undertake the
ornamentation and improvement of their
property.

MYSTERIOUS DlsAppEARANoE.
Probable Suicide of a Washington Lady

Yesterday evening intelligence was re-
ceived in this city of mysterious affair
which occurred in Hampton Roads We'd
nesday night, the details Of which warrant
the belief that a young lady from Washing
ton city had been driven by insanity or
some other cause 10 a suicidal end. The
facts, as gathered by gentleman Of this
city from Captain T. A. Drew, ST., of the
steamer Clyde last evening at City Point,
are as follows:
Last Saturday young lady, giving her
name as Miss Salisbury, residing on G,
between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets,
Washington, d. c., came down the bay
and took passage in the steamer "Clyden
for New York. In person she was prepos-
sessing and handsome, and her manners
and conversation denoted more than ordi-
nary culture and refinement. Her face,

LOSSES in battle are almost always exag-
gerated. reinstatement in regard to the
French-Gernan war seems to have been
especially extravagant. The official figures
of the German losses are, in round num-
bers, Is, 600 dead, $1,000 wounded, 5000
missing total, III 900. The total French
loss is Is 900 less, which makes an aggre-
gate of 207, 900 put out of the fight from
whatever cause, on both sides, throughout
the whole war. This falls short Of what
was reported by "eye-witnesses" and
"specials" during the campaigns and
seiges. Another conclusion from these
figures is that latter-day warfare is far
less destructive than that Of earlier times.
At the single battle Of Leipsic, for example,
the number killed and wounded was 1907
000-half the total loss of the late war.
1t therefore follows that the improved
weapons are rarely less fatal than the old
fashioned ones, and the Chassep6t, needle
gun, and mitrailleuse, instead of being cruel
contrivances, are actually humane and mer-
ciful inventions.

however. wore an expression betraying
deep mental anxiety and suffering, and
made her the object of general remark
among the passengers. Upon reaching
New York, she desired to embark for lla-
vana, but after eifecting arrangements to
that end, concluded to return to Norfolk,
and again took passage on the clyde"
During the trips to and fro she declined
all nourshment in the way of cooked VIC
tuals. refusing even coffee and tea, subsist-
ing entirely upon raw potatoes, cabbage
and other uncooked food. On the return
trip her manner was more FESTIVE and her
eccentrcities more marked than in the first
instance. At Hampton Roads, between
and 9 O'Clock p. Nj. Wednesday, all the
messengers who were to land at Norfolk,
were notified except Miss Salisbury, who
could not be found.
/ Immediate and thorough search was in
1 stituted for her without avail, and while 1t
is possible that she may have fallen over
board accidentally, yet the Apprehension is
better sustained that iii fit OF despon-
! dency she had accomplished her own de-
struction by leaping into the water. a
short time before she was missed she had
been seeh leaning on the railing, but be-
yond that no one could trace her. Her
baggage is with Captain Drew, who will
retain it until called for by properly au.
thorized parties.
OF course at this writing any attempt al
solution Of the mystery would result
merely in idle conjecture, but the space o
dav or two will be sufficient to reveal al
the circumstances in this sad affair, and fur
nish an intelligent indication of the motives
that prompted it.-Petersbmg Progress.

ANOTHER MoNUMENT.-For years
efforts have been made for the construc-
ton of monument TO Washington, but
every scheme failed until the matter was
taken in charge by George +. Gordon and
other gentlemen, who scceeded in raising
sufficient funds for the purpose, by the aid
of the school children of this city, and the
result is the fine statue Of the great hero
that stands in front Of Independence Hall.
The Senior and Junior Orders of Ameri-
can Mechanics, desiring to perpetuate the
memory of Washington, also took the mat
ter in hand, and an association was formed
for the purpose of procuring another statue,
to be placed in Paramount Park. The
artists of the city were invited to prepare
plans, and after considerable delay the de-
sign furnished by Mr.. George +. Gordon
was adopted, and last night the contract
was signed, which provides that the work
shall be completed in one year. The
statue will be of bronze, eight feet in height.
resting upon pedestal of Quincy or Virgil
MIA granite, twelve feet high, and when
completed will cost 10000. The work is
to commence at once. Phil. Press.
