The recent poisoning in New York, caused By
the reckless use Of vermin extermiuator," de-
serves the earnest attention Of housekeepers.
Three persons died, and several others were So
rioualy prostrated. from the effects Of this pra-
posterous blunder. Tbs developments at the
inquest give startling exhibition OF the ignor-
ance and carelessnoss OF servants, aud show how
Liable families are to fatal accident in the kitchen
when constant supervision is not exerciged by
tile mistress Of tho house. The particular ex-
terminator used in this case was Paris
green, one OF the deadliest Of mineral poieons,
and the testimony shows that it was employed
in eutize ignorance Of the danger incurred.
Enough o: tie substance IVES scattered
about the kitchen to kill 1egiment,-tl only
excuse tor guch an invitation to disaster
being desire to rid the premises Of roaches.
Very 1iEely the reaches were killed by such vgor-
GUS treatment, bat it ia a miracle that the whole
family WIS not as summariiy disposed ct. AZ it
WAS, the consequences were sufficiently dread
full. Tho poison WAS found scattered every
where.-amoag the dishes, amoug tho knives
and forks, and on Window-eills. where breath
Of air might scatter it into articles under process
OF cooking. Such foolhafdiness is almost in-
credible, and the carelc=Eness Of the head Of the
family in permitting such practices equally so
The travail OF "lookin9 after " servants is often
3 serious one, but experience constantly shows
that It cannot, e1thar II safety or comfort, be
relaxed.

! The ghosts OF to-day are very commonplace
beings, somewhat vulgar, very useless. and fond
| OF trihing tricks. They smash crockery and
tumble furniture around They tap on banjos
and rap unearthly nonsense out on tables. They
send scattered hands floating through the air,
and they untio ropes with sailor-like dextcrity.
] Sometimes, like the famous skate Hing" they
tribute fragments Of their ghostly garments as
| souvepirs. According to Robert Dale Owens
Border-Landr" ;" they thrust two fingers out Of
" q luminous cloud " that waltzes through par
lor, and then clutch 8 flower from the piano. Or,
| more prosaically, they drop in casual way upon
4 table two live lobatera. This, by the By, is
tho one useful thing in the catalogue. II ghost

ones table in return for an occasional puff in tho
papers, he would be valuable member Of So
clcty. AS it is the first thought at the close Of
ptotracted eeauce is apt to be: "What weak
fools these spirits are"
In olden times, an English review points
ont, it was not so. ghost WAS something great
then, and stood upon his dignity. Ho was no
romping, hilarious, misunderstanding goblin, but
spirit with something to do and with sufficient
gravity to do it in IN awe-iuspiring manner.
after the spirit Of Lord Tyrone had visited
Lady Dcresford, the latter asked to touch
him ''It is not for spiritual bodies to touch
mortal ncsb," replied tho ghost. And
when Lady Deresford persisted. her visitor
touched her wrist, which quivered with pain.
The grasp left =" indelib1o mark as it pair of
1ed-hot pincers had griped me-" As Lord Tyrone
had then been in this world for some hours, the
place he came from must have been pretty hot.
The Rov. John Jones, Of Holiweu F1intahire
Was saved from the attack of highway-robber,
early In this century, by celestial visitor, who
suddenly appeared By his side, mounted on q
white steed. The ghost rodo along with him
until the danger WAS past. He deigned no reply
to the Rev. Jones' continued questions, until the
latter asked Can it for moment be doubted
that my prayer VAS heard aud that you were sent
for my deliverance by tho Lord1" Then tho
spirit said "Amen," And quietly vanished. II

The subject OF corporal punishment now and

practice Of hogging boys is one Of the ancient
traditions, and only the extent, not the priuci-
pie, Of the punishment is called in question.

TIE ORIGINAL CATHERINE GAUNT.

| On the 29th OF June. 1871, Mrs. Tilton wrote
to 31r Ti1tou from Schohario, n. T., letter con-
tanning tho following words: Ny Dear Thco-
dore: To-day, through the mystery Of Miss
| Catherine Gaunt, character Of fiction, my eyes
| have been opened for tie first time ii my e1-
perience, so that sec clearly my sin." In tnsd
! connection, it will be interesting to trace the
story of Catherine Gaunt to it's source, although
there il but little parallel between tile mystery
OF Elizabeth Tilton and the mystery OF the
| original OF Catherine Gaunt. except that
in both cases a priest figures prominent
y. The original Of Catherine Gaunt was
Nine. De Chauvelin, Of Earbonne, widow with
five children, who, in 1857, married Louie de la
Pivardiere, the youngest OF thtee SONS of gen.
tleman OF noble lineage After two years Of
lug his long absences, d prior of the neighbor-
ing abbey of AIiseray became frequent visitor
ut the house, and scandal Was coon busy with
tile fair fame of Mme Pivardiere. It reached
the ears OF her husband, but lie only contented
himself with making longer absences away from
home. Meanwhile, no made the acquaintance Of
Nile. Pillard, IN inn-keepor's daughter. and
marricd her, trusting to his distance from homo
tLat his first wife would not hear Of it. They
had many children, and, after the birth
OF each child, he visited Nine. Pivardiere and OK
torted money from her by threats to expose her.
at last she discovered his second marriage, and
wheu he again visited her to procure money she
taxed him with it. 4 violent scene ensued. He
remained in the house that night. but, fearing
for lis life, be suddenly disappeared at day
break. One day the Police-Lleutenant Of Chat
luop, who bore malice against both Nine.
piyardiere and the prior OF Mseray, instituted an
Piyardiere for the murder OF her husband. Two
servants swore positively to the murder, and she
was convicted She t4ereupon petitioned the
Chan,bre do Vacations for fresh process her
petition was granted; and the Judge Of
Remo1entin prosecuted new inquiry. Mean-
while, she kept up vigorous search for her hrs~
band and found him at Auxorte. He made a
clean breast Of the whole affair to his second
wife. VINO advised him to so Immediately to Mar
bonne and save his first wife's life. He did so,
and identified himself; but this only led to his
own arrest for bigamy, then punishable with
death. At this juncture, the second wife vent in
person to Louis XIV, who interposed his au-
thority. 4 fair trial was obtained. Mme.
Pivardiere and tho prior wore acquitted Of the
crime OF murder. The influence OF Louis XIV.
secured the discharge of Pivardiere, who there
upon quit both wives, went into the army again,
and was finally killed in battle with the brig
ands. His first wife died shortly after. Tho
prior Of liseray died at good old age. Tho
second wife, who appears to have been tho oply
one in the strange history appearing to advan-
tage, married twice afterwards, and enjoyed
many years Of peace and happiness.

THE CHENEY CASE.

Judge Williams yesterday rendered 4 decision
in the case OF WhitelouHo vs.. Cheney. 1t will
be remembered that Alr. Cheney Was Rector ol
Christ Church that, because Of certain alleged
want OF observance Of the liturgy, he was first
| admonished aud then formally presented before
u court of the Protestant Episcopal Church !;
TINT by this court lie was found guilty. After a
reasonable time. eccoud court WAS convened.
| which rendered judgment, aud the Bishop
formally deposcd him from the ministry. 4 bill
was then filed in the Circuit Court asking TINT
3Ir. Cheney be restrained from using or holding
the church, which was the property Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church. Of which ho was
no longer priest. This was III 1873. The case
has been elaborately argued aimee then.
Judge Williams holds that all churches in the
United States aro regarded in law voluntary
societies, having their own laws a''i regulations,
aud That these laws aud regulations aro the
stipn1ations governing all the relations OF the
members. That 1lr. Cheney WIS Rector, and
holding Ills Office by and subject to the canona
Of tho Church, he WAS bound by them and sub
1N%% cA-A1 %A4~ ~
the Protestant Episcopal Clutch, tie first court
was constituted OF tiye ASSESSORS but only four
attended tho trial that such q court more
nearly resembles an arbitration than civil
court !; a1d that. by tho law governing arbi1ra-
tioEs, all the arbi.rators must be present at the
hearing OF the case Under these circumstances,
Judge Williams holds that, one Of tho
essential members of tho court not
being present, it was not court
at all, within the meaning OF the Churc1. cauou.
the second trial, resting upon what took place at
the first, the Court had no jurisdiction, and OF
COURSE its actlou was also void. 1t follows that
the subsequent proceedings BY the Bishop, ho
having no power to pronounce sentence except
Oh The finding of proper court, and there being
valid court in this case, were nil equally IL
legal, aud not warranted By the canons Of the |
Church. Consequently the sentence OF deposit |
tion pronounced by Binhop Whitchouso fal!e |
with tue discovery that there was no court ca
nouically held. Tie bill was, therefore, dismiss
ed for Eaut of equity
THIS decision leaves Ar. Cheney legally mi1-
lister of the Protestant Episcopal Church, from
which body he lls since withdrawn to join the
Reformed Episcopal Church, in which he is now
q Bishop. What new form the controversy about
the possession ct tho Christ Church property
~ill now take will depend largely upon the new
Bishop. An appeal may be taken on the preseut
decision or, which is more likely, 4Ir. Choneys
abandonment OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church may form the basis OF new suit. There
vas an effort to introduce this feature into the
ate suit by q supplemental bill, but 1t was
brown out after elaborate argument.
