Niagara Falls has had quite a sensation
for week past, live ghost AS an illus
tration of how the imagination can be
wrought upon, one engineer declared that
the apparitiOn appeared to him upon the
track just in front of the engine, mounted
upon gray horse, and thus rode ahead of
his engine for about a mile. and then disap-
peared in the dark. Report has it that one
man and one woman were SO frightened by
the apparition as to cause their sickness. A
reward was offered to expose it. Last Sat
urday ight the ghost was caught. Improved
to he a woman. about fifty years old, dressed
IN sheet and Ku Klux mask. The reason
assigned for her appearance thus was, that
her husband was addicted to spending his
money and time, evenings, at the whisky
shop near her field of operations, and she
took this course to frighten him and cause
him to stay at home.

killed by bullet from his own pistol, if he

The Cincinnati Commercial SAYS in regard
to the ominous change in the Presidential
prospects in Washington Even in Wash
lngton there are persons able to see that the
Republican party is not identified now and
forever with President Grant. One cause
OF the change in the wind is the New York
customhOuse exposures. They are GER
talnly ugly, unpleasant and damaging. The
New Orleans investigation, we have reason
to believe, will have a tendency to increase
the public disgust. There is not likely to
be an investigation at Chicago, but dirt
enough has been uncovered there to be dis
agreeable. There is still scent of the
Santo Domingo job upon the air. 1t is be-
lieved, in well-informed quarters, that if
Grant is reelected the oldibargain will be
consummated. There have been arrange
ments made for the postponement of agita
ton until it would be safe. The party
hacks who think there is nothing in the dis
affection of such men as Greeley. Sumner,
Schurz ana Trumpull, will presently be-
come as sensitive as tropical plants to at
mospheric influences There are no men in
the nation more significantly representative
than the four we have just named"

The most remarkable breach of promise
suit Oh record will soon be tried at Phila-
delphia. young woman of Boston, who
was to wed d resident of the Quaker City,
became a victim of the free love mania,
and, as the appointed time drew near, an
nounced her resolve to 90 through no
ceremony whatever, but TO enter on
welded life without wedding. Her lover
tried to shake her resolution, but could
not. She claimed that, if tLey were not
irrevocablv bonnd together, he would be
more careful to retain her affections, and
frankly ayowed her determination to leave
him if she ever loved another man better
This declaration put an ehectual end, as
her lover thought, to the engagement
but she has actually sued him for breach of
promise. The case will be tried next fall.
The Philadelphia is still anxious to marry
his erratic betrothed, trusting to time and
thought to cure her fances, but utterly re-
fuses to take her as his mistress. This will
be the defense. What the plaintiff S coun-
sci will urge can not be foreseen.

SHOT AS A MEDIcINE.-Dr. Maydieu.
Of France, has revived the old practice
of giving shot for bilious collie. His meth
cd is, to take No. 5 shot, after carefully
washing them with sweet oil, and give
a dessert spoonful every half hour. He
claims that in FIVE or six hours the vom-
itlng ceases. The editors of the Ptcifc
Medtcat and Surgical Journal relate the
following anecdote, illustrative Of this
treatment: A clergyman was taken very
sick and stopped at the house of "A good
old lady, who was familiar with the treat
ment, who stated that she had no shot.
but bullet which would answer the pur
pose. She gave it to the divine, who.
after being assured of its efficacy, swal-
lowed it, and to his great joy and sur
prise found that in n very short time he
was entirely relieved of the collie. Be
fore leaving, he expressed some doubt
to the old lady about the piece of lead so
heavy finding its way through the bow
els. "Oh, N.Y." she replied, "you need
have no anxiety about that, as it has been
through me ten or twelve times"

up north gives the following account
Of some of his fellow travellers From

steerage some sixteen head of cattle and
four Cinnamon, the former intended for
the garrison at Stka. | asked one of the
Mongolans how he liked it down there.
lie replied Indignantly: "Damee mas

dollars the poor fellows had to pay for

GENERAL SHERMAN AS a LAWYER
The early judiciary" of Kansas trans
acted business on equity principles. A
good many of the Justices were like ne
cessitv, they knew no law, but they gen.
orally did justice about as well as our
Courts. A case was tried in 1857 in
which General Sherman, who then re-
sided on farm in what was then Cal
houn county, was employed as an attor-
ney. The General came in with an i'm
mense pile of law books and his prece-
dents well selected. He expected to try
the case before Squire Gibbs, as good
lawyer should, and had taken it more
for the purpose of aiding neighbor in
what he had been made to believe was a
good case and to relieve him from injus-
tice than for any fee.
The jolly old Justice came into Court
and announced the case for hearing. The
General said the plaintiff was ready. A
long, lank, lean-looking genius who stop
ped string Of cattle and log wagon in
the street. and stuck his whip with a
twelve-foot lash behind the door, appear
ed for the defence. The testimony was
heard, and General Sherman delivered
his argument and presented the law in
the case in an able manner, as good
lawyer would. lie read from the com
mon law of England, and cited cases in
the reports Of several of the American
States. The bullwhacker followed him,
and ridiculed his precedents and secuted
at his books. lie said it was an insult to
the Court to read from "The common
law of England" and declared that if
we were compelled to take any of that
aristocratic British law" he wanted "the
very best her Majesty had and none of
her common law" That was enough ;
the Justices face was set, and the Gener-
al lost his case. 1t was the last he ever
tried in Kansas. He left, and Kansas
lost n medium sort of farmer-about
equal to Horace Greeley-and the nation
gained a good and great General.-La,o-
renee Tribune.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1872.

A CORRESPONDENT furnishes the Den
yer IfibuRe with the following anecdote
of Henry Clay: Formerly very large,
we'll known and somewhat noted billy
goat roamed at large in the streets of
Washington, and the newspaper boys,
bootblacks, and street imps generally
made common cause against him. Clay
never liked to see dumb animals abused
or worried, and on one occasion, while
passing down the avenue, large crowd
of mischievous urchins were at their usu-
al sport. Mr.. Clay, with his walking
stick, drove them away, giving them a
sound lecture in the meanwhile. AS they
scampered off and scattered in every di-
rection, Billy, seeing no one but Mr..
Clay within reach, made a charge on
him. Clay dropped his cane and caught
his goatship by the horns. The goat
would rear up, being nearly as high as
the Kcntuckian, and the latter would pull
him down again. This sort of sport soon
became tiresome, and he could conceive
Of no way by which he could free him
self from the two-horned dilemma, so in
desperation he sung out to the boys to
know what to do. One Of the smallest in
the crowd shouted back "Let go and
run, you ID fool ~ Clay always
maintained that though he signed the
treaty Of peace at Client, yet that ragged
boy knew more than he did.

SALT AND ASHES FOR HoRsEs.-Those
keeping horses should, twice a week
throw in a handful Of salt and ashes.
Mix them by putting in three parts of
salt to one Of ashes. Horses relish this
and it will keep their hair soft and fine.
1t will prevent bots, collie, etc. A little
ground sulphur mixed with salt and
ashes, and given once in two or three
weeks, is also beneficial. All domestic
animals will thus be benefited. .-TayE,

CHEATING AROUND THE BoARD.-A
gambler on Mississippi river steamer.
watching his opportunity, slipped out
four aces and placed them on his knee
under the table. The man next to him
discovered the trick, and without being
observed, took the aces and put very
poor hand in their place. The dealer
exchanged his hand for what he supposed
to be his aces, and without looking to see,
bet largely, and when called by his OPP
ponent, found to his utter astonshment
that he had not single pair. "Gentle-

On the way home they were beset by Il
pack Of ferocious wolves. Cool and col

heroic superintendent saw at a glance
that he must soon be overtakcn. In an
instant his quick mind grasped the only
chance Of escape. Selling the child that

two notes too high, he flung it to the ra-
pacious horde. 1t stayed their onward
rush for a moment. Next came the ur-
chin who never brought any pennies to

sued and the pursuers, until the last in
fant was exhausted. But the brave man
had economical his material nobly. And
besides, whole Sunday-school slows off

| them The testimony OF our Dest cltlHens, oil
all classes, establishes the fact that CHERRY
PEcToRAL will and does relieve and cure the
affecting disorders of the Throat and Lungs
beyond any other medicine. The most dam
gerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
Weld to its power; and cases of SOnsu.np-
tiOn. cured by this preparation, are publicly
known, so remarkable as hardly to be believed,
were they not proven beyond dispute. AS
remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely for full protection. by curing bad
Coughs. the f0rerunners of more serious
disease, it saves unnumbered lives, and an
amount of suffering not to be computed. 1t
challenges trial, and cOnvinces the most skep-
teal. Every family should keep it on hand as
a protection against the early and unperceiyed
attack of Pulmonary Affections, which are cas-
lily met at first but which become incurable,
and too often fatal, if neglected. Tender lungs
need this defence and it is unwise to be with
out it. As a safeguard to children amid the
distressing diseases which beset the throat and
chest of childhood, CHERRY PECToRAL is in
valuable; for, by its timely use, multitudes
are rescued from premature graves, and saved
to the love and affection centered on them. 1t
acts speedily against ordinary colds, securing
sound and Notwithstanding sleep. No one will
suffer with troublesome Influenza and pain
ful bronchitis, when they know how easily
they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laboriOus and
successful chemical Investigation, no cost or
toll is spared in making every bottle in the ut
most perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.
