DErsergs LAST GHosr1Y SENSATION

DErReTF's LAST GHosTLY SENSATION
The conductors on the First street route have a
nice little sensation all to themselves. About
ten nights ago the conductor of the last car
down, having no passengers beyond Twentieth
street. was standing in the front door talking
TO the driver, when he heard a rustic of silk,
and looked about to see woman seated in the
car. He wondered to- himself at her agility in
boarding the ear while the horses were on q
trot, and after the car had passed along several
blocks he started forward to collect her fare,
and to ask her where she desired to stop OIL:
She had her face turned away from him, and
as he put out his hand to touch her shoulder
the lady vanished. The conductors hair stood
up, and the driver felt cold rchills run UP his
back. Every night since then, as half a dozen
conductors allege, the ghostly passenger boards
the last car, provided there are no other pas
sengers, and after riding a few blocks she sud-
denly vanishes. Some of the drivers have re-
mained on the rear platform to see where she
GETS on, but the first thing they know she is in
the car. They describe her as being richly at
tired in winter clothing, having shawl, hood
and muff, and so closely yelled that glimpse
of her features is impossible. Whatever the
general public may think of the affair, it is
certain to the minds of ten or fifteen conduc-
tors and drivers that they have real ghost on
their hands.-DetroH Free Press.

A QUEER RErR1Rur1oN.-The Opelousas

A QUEER RETRIRUTION-Ihe Opelousas,
La, Journal is responsible for the following:
"Down in .the Parish Of ST.. Martin, an old
widow lady, Whose children had all married
off and left her alone, had been persuaded to
sell her little place and live with them. She
sold her land, buildings and Improvements enc
day for S2, 900, and received the money in cash
on the spot, in her own house, where the act
of sale was passed before two witnesses, the
number required by law, and who witnessed
also the paying of the money. In short time
she wasIto give possession but she remained in
the house the night following the sale, all alone,
or with no masculine adult inmates, as was her
elstom. That night tive negro burglars broke
into the house and demanded her money or
her life. She gave it to them, but begged them
to let her have 500 Of it, as she owed that
amount, and wanted to pay the debt, when she
would be satisfied. They finally consented to
lie. her keep the. .S100: They then ordered her
to make some coffee for them to drink. In
doing 50, she bethought herself of some strych
nine she had in the house, and quietly dropped
it in the pot Of steaning coffee, and placed it
on the table, with cups, spoons and sugar for
them to pour out and sweeten to their TASTE
This they did, and drank in jolly mood, each
one having nine hundred and fifty dollars in
his pocket. But in q few minutes the tables
were turned. One gave up the ghost where he
sat at the table in his chain and the other got
up, staggered off few feet, and tumbed over
into eternity. The good old lady recovered her
money, and on examining the persons of the
black burglarous robbers, they turned out to
be the two witnesses to the act of sale, both
white men blackened for the occasion-both
her neighbors, and one was her cousin"

h GEN. JAMES LONGSTREET.-ln a letter ad-
dressed to B. W. Hughes, of Richmond, Gen.
Longstreet challenges Col. Withers, the Con-
seryative candidate for, Lieut.. Goy.ot Virginia,
to give the names Of the parties to the transac-
ton, and its time and place, where he, Long
street. "went over for money" This was
hardly necessary. No one supposes that the
old commander of the First Corps sold himself
for actual dollars, and cents. A soldier, and
nothing else, he held that the defeat of the
Confederates proved that the Federals were in
the right, and he went over to the winning
side. Upon this, lucrative place was given
him but it is due to him to say that we be-
lieye that Longst-eet acted withoutany thought
of the possible benefit to him that might result
from his conduct That. conduct was, never
theless shame and reproach to the gallant
thousands whom he led so well. -
/ In the same letter Longstreet briefly declares
that the statements recently made about him
by the Rev. Mr.. Pendleton are false. These
charges were that Longstreet, by tardlness and
disobsdience Of his orders, was responsible for
the !Confederate defeat at Gettysburg. From
this blame,'at least, Longstreet is wholly free
Ii is within knowledge, that the attack on
SCemetery Hill was contrary to his Judgment
and counsel. Tears stood in his eyes as Pick
ett's gallant men advanced to- the charge.
Gen Gongstreet did his entire duty at Gettys-
burg, as on every other battlefield of the war.
This is known to his staf-oficers and his divis-
ion and brigade commanders Mr.. Pendleton,
iex!chief of artillery of the army Of Northern
Virginia, can i'll afford to cast stones at man
whose militaryrecord. is without stain.
/ The political career of Gen. Longstreet since
the close of the war has disappointed and
grieved all his friends, but9remembering what
he is, they cannot forget what he was. Charles

William Tell a Myth.

The Historical Society of tho Old
Swiss Cantons, recently held it's
thirticth annual meeting at Zurich.
1t has conducted its inquiries with
u cautious spirit under the presi-
dency of the historiographer of Lu-
cerne. Joseph Schneider, who has
rendered pre-eminent services in
investigating tho early history of
Switzerland. Respecting the story
of William Tell, the Society seems
to have accepted the conclusions of
the late Prof. Kohl. He has brought
forward evidence to show that the
received version of the events which
led to the foundation of the Swiss
Confederation were at variation
with historical fact. His conclu-
sions were these: "There never
was a Gessler nor William Tell.
Tell never refused to lift his hat,
never fired at an apple placed on
his sons head, although the very
cross. bow with which the deed was
done is exhibited at Zurich he
never crossed the Lake of Lucerne
in tempest of wind and rain; he
never boldly jumped upon the Tell
platte mover spoke his speech in
the defile at Kusnach, and never
shot Gessler. What is more, the
inhabitants Of Uri, Schwyz, and
Unterwalden never met by night
on the Ruch. Johannes Won Muller,
the great historian, adopts the
mythical story and tells it in his
History of Switzerland, as if abso-
lutely true; but the chroniclers of
the period know nothing of Will
lam Tell, and the story appears for
the first time century and q half
later"
A writer in the Lundon Notes
and Queries attempts to prove that
eth real original William Tell, Of
Swiss tradition, was Scotchman
IF the name of >M'Leod, from the
Braemar Highlanders.-N. Y. Obs.

Poultry Disease.

" Plenso inform mo what Ia kill.

Of tho country, TO all Of which, of
course, we are expected to reply |
but M this would entail upon us
moro labor than wo have timo to
devote to II, much as wo would
lovo to, We arc compelled to reply
in more general way, through the
columns Of our paper. We can
make no direct reply to any one
inquiry, for the reason that none of
our correspondents, strange to say,
give descriptions of tho diseases
that ere affecting their fowls.
Tho most prevalent disease
among poultry is cholera or chronic
diarrhea. Fowls of all kinds when
affected with this disease, become
droopy heads turn pale, except
foyer DO present, when 1t becomes

mixed grecnish and thin white

soon exhausted.
The causes of this disease are va
rious. 1t is contagious, and may
DO introduced into the poultry yard
in numerous ways, tho same as
smallpox or other contagious dis.
eases that become epidemic. 1t
may be caused by scanty feed, and
feed of poor quality, or by fowls
being kept in a damp yard.
Tho following remedies are the
best that have yet been offered to
the public 2 parts camphor, 8 parts
black anthony, 10 20 parts pulvcr-
lied alum. Pulverize and mix
thoroughly together; or you can
buy it in this way: Five cents
worth of alum, ten cents worth OF
camphor, ten cents worth of blacl,
anthony. After you have the
above articles we'll pulverized, feed

The powder should DO mixed
with raw onions and bread or M cal
