THE latest ghost has made its appear
ance at Green River, Kentucky. The fear
ful visitaut that makes each particular hair
belonging to the natives of Green River to
initiate the fretful porcupine, is an old wo-
man who was defrauded by a rascally
nephew. She had no sooner died than she
commenced misbehaving herself. Just be-
fore she expired she gave instructions as
to how she should be buried-nO pomp, no
ornament, and especially and particularly,
no flowers. Her orders were strictly OBJ
served, except that after she was put in
her coffin a young lady, who had not heard
Of her antipathy to flowers, placed small
bunch on her breast. She had hardly
passed the floral testimonial of her respect
out of her hand when the corpse began to
move, and in a few seconds the old woman
sat up in her coffin and threw the flowers
at the young lady, who, frightened half
out of her senses, ran screaming from the
room, while all those who beheld the spec
tacle were shocked beyond measure. The
old lady, being apparently satisfied when
the offensive ornaments were removed,
quietly laid down and was buried in due
time. But she was no sooner down than
she was up again. The Tascally nephew
more abnormal and terrifying, she did not
haunt him in white like a we'll regulated
and ordinary ghost, but in her customary
suit of solemn black. That ghostly bonn
bazine WAS too much for the rascally neph-
ew, and he has left his home and moved to
parts unknown.

FEMININE CELEBRITY.-W akIng up one
hundred and thirty two girls at once can be-
done nowhere but in Staunton, Va. An
omnibus drove up to female seminary
there the other night at O'Clock, and did
it without a flaw. They all sat stock up
right in bed, clutching at each other IN the
dark, and screaming, sit must be man!'
Somehow, nothing never happens that a
girl don't swear it is "a man. OF the
whole number, one hundred and twenty
eight cried, 80, where Is my pap" The
old man is never wanted except when
trouble comes along. 4 girl may have a
hundred new dresses to show, and it's so,
maj but the minute she stumps her toe,
it's ''Where's my pa?," One hundred and
eight said, ''The house is on firer' and
startled down stairs, carrying one hundred
and six cologne bottles, ninety eight copies
of Byron one Shorter Catechism, one hun
dred and three braids and eighty-three
bustles. At breakfast next morning they
compared statistics. Julia BlogsdOn made
the bottom step of the lowest flight, carry
ing her trunk, the washstand, the bed
steaa, and two window-shutters, in two
minutes and twelve seconds. Julia is a
truthful scholar. Mary Lobsby put up her
back hair, fixed her banged front hair, and
pinned on bruff in one minute and three
seconds, and Ellen Pitchfelder put on both
shoes, three pair of earrings, and a polo
naise in five seconds. But the prize schoE
ar excited the hatred and envy of all by
proving by the cook that she tainted ''stone
dead" twice.-.StduHtOn ViHdicGt0r.

FAST TRAINs.-SJme of the English
papers are disputing over the speed of
railway express trains, several of the prin-
cipal lines claiming the doubtful hon0rs of
running the fastest trains. The latest tes-
timOuy is in favor of the Great Western
express, which regularly makes the 773
miles between Paddington and Exeter in
81 minutes, or at the rate of 53-62 miles an
hour. This is far ahead of any time made
on American railways, though for while
the Fort Wayne and Chicago route came
pretty near to it iD the attempt to reduce
the time between New York and Chicago
to twenty-nine hours. The English rail
way trains are unquestionably the fastest
in the world, and it used to be said that
they were the safest. But that can no
longer be boasted of them. Through care
lessness and other causes the famous Eng
llsh railway system is breaking down.
Railway accidents are now of almost da "
occurrence in England. The latest mails
bring resume of the mishaps for October.
1t Is frightful list-thirty- six in all. De
fectlve signaling, rotten material, want OF
punctuaHfy, insufficient brake power are
some of the explanations assigned. We
think that among these should be included
the excessive and unnecessary speed main
tanned on the English lines. At fifty or
sixty miles an hour the strain upon the
wheels and all the machinery becomes
enormous, and the likelihood of something
breaking is greatly increased over that on
a slower train. At maximum speed trains
are more apt to fly the track, brakes to be-
come imperative, and when collisions or
other accidents do occur the consequences
are vastly destructive to passengers. The
/ road beds and tracks and bridges on some
/ of the English lines must be sadly injured
/ by the wear and tear Of lightning ex-
/ presses, and we are not surprised that the
/ black list for one month mounts RS high as

ADVERTISING IN Dull TIMEs.-The
Milwaukee Wisconsin relates the follow
ing: After the crash of 1851, when every
body was almost scared to death, and the
croakers predicted that the country had
gone to smash, a dry goods house was
opened in this eity,k which proceeded on
the principle that in order to reach the
boarded money in the pockets of the peo-
pie the proprietors must sell at very rea-
sonable prices and advertise largely. They
worked vigorously upon this principle.
Their brother merchants who did not ad-
vertise predicted that the new comers
would be ruined, as they paid too much
for advertising. Nevertheless they per-
sisted. In a single year they paid five
hundred dollars in gold to the DafEy Wis
c0asin for advertising, and at the end of
seven years they retired from business with
a fortune of one hundred thousand dollars
While other merchants on the same street
some OF them opposite their store, had
failed.
We remember, says the New York Post
similar instance among our own adyer-
tlsers i'll the panic of 1857. A merchant
continued his advertisement in our COL
umnS through the whole period of stagna-
ton, and, notwithstanding the many pre-
dlctlons that 'ft wouldn't pay His tes-
tlmony afterward was that his sales were
steady and his profits satisfactory, while
many merchant around him who could
not afford to advertise" saw his clerks
stand idle behind the counters.
a financial panic does not mean that no
one has any money. There is plenty of
money in the country, and those who
hoard 1t are just the ones to he eager for
the bargains which fall in prices holds
