A LEARNED
PROFESSION.

Journalism, according to a decision Of
the Treasury Department of the United
States, is henceforth to be recognised as
n Of the learned professions. The
case came up on the claim of an Ameri-
can journalist returning from Europe,
to have a quantity of books, amounting
to several hundred dollars in value, i'm
ported free of duty, being designed for
his professional journalistic library. He
claimed the right to have the goods i'm
ported duty free, under the provisions
of the customs laws, which permit the
free importation Of books to be used in
the library of a physician, an attorney,
or q clergyman. The customs officers
at the port Of Baltimore, where the
books were imported, ruled that a jour
nalist could not claim the benefits Of
that law for the reason, as they put it,
that journalism is not a profession. This
journalist, on behalf of himself and his
fraternity, appealed to the Secretary Of
the Treasury, who, in substance, has
decided that journalism is a profession
in the sense which will permit a Jour
nal to partake of the advantages Of this
law. This decision Of the Secretary of
the Treasury is somewhat technical,
and excludes certain classes Of books,
such as novels, from the benefit of free
importation.-EU2op. Mail.

A GHOST STORY.

An Irish Ghost Story has generally some
thing to do with the 6anshce, or death
warner, but a supernatural incident which
is said to have occurred in the wilds of
Kerry the other day is sufficiently thrilling
although the apparition concerned had no
hereditary standing. 1t seems that a
woman residing in Glenhesk received a call
from the spirit Of her husband, a "man,
of the farming class, dressed in a shroud
and white stockings and gloves" The
farmer in white gloves stated that since
his death, some months back, although he
ought to be in heaven, he was detained
elsewhere on account of owing u sum of
15l. to friends of his, and he begged Of
his wife to give him the money. The
woman in full faith handed him lOl., and
promised to bring him the rest in a few
days if he came for it. Meanwhile she
went and told the priest the circumstances
Of the case, and this gentleman acted
very differently from the clerical monitor
Of NLicky Free, who may be remembered
by the readers of "Charles O'NaIley."
When the ghost in complete burial cos
tune arrived for the the bank~note he was
at once received by q couple of police,
and proved, as Ghosts do in our day, to be
a mere pretender, playing q part, who
will have to answer tor his misconduct
before q magistrate. There was a touch
of real dramatic cunning in the fashion
in which this rogue tried to impose on the
simple widow. The shroud, the stock
ings, and, above all, the gloves, were at
once recognized by the poor woman as
the most fitting garments for her husband,
as they were the last in which she had seen
him. If he had presented himself in the
more questionable guise of a flannel jacket
and corduroys she might have wondered
how he contrived to procure q change of
working clothes. Here is q hint for spirit
ualists who have some difficulty in recon
Cling concrete hounces with ghostly phan-
toms. The Glenfesk Ghost has not solved
the problem, but his rigid adherence to
charnel properties ought to be a lesson to
those who represent spirits in shooting
coats or walking dresses.-Ibid.
