head like the horns of snail, rush.

The Coroner is by profession a
dentist, and his first thought as he
glanced at the man, was, that he
was well nigh distracted with the
toothache; he was soon undeceived
however, as the frenzied individual
cried out, as soon as he could
catch his breath after running up
the stairs, "Been man murderedp

A WOlfin Sleeps Clothing.

An intense excitement was Great
ed at Philadelphia boarding
school at the discovery that one o.
the favorite pupils was a mans
wolf in sleeps clothing. Not long
ago an elderly gentleman drove up
to the door, disembarked his trunks
and introduced his daughter" to
the matron. The daughter was
tall and handsome, tastefully dress
ed, and promised to be quite a
popular pupil. In fact just such a
one as the perceptress could take
pride in sending forth to the world
finished for society. So when the
father wanted to put her at the
school she was gladly accepted both
for these reasons and for pecuniary
considerations. Then the father
said good b., and after leaving
special instructions in regard to
the care over the young girl, drove
away. Next room was selected
for her company, of course, with
the usual number of room-mates.
Several days passed by; the new
conner was growing very popular
with the other girls as well as with
the teachers. Her wardrobe was
extensive, her manners attractive,
and there seemed to be a certain
charm about her that all recognized,
but none could explain. She her.
self seem happy, her disposition
was pleasant, and she laughed q
great deal. Sometimes the girls
couldn't understand why she laugh
ed; but slight explanation salts
fed. Well, month passed away
the young lady was a great favor
lite, hardly less so with all the girls
than with her room-mates, and she
was becoming quite accomplished.
But one day she sent o trunk off
for some reason, and pretty soon
she left quitely herself. Most of
the household were astonished, and
Immediately the alarming story
spread that she wasn't q girl at
all. The teachers tried to hush it
up, but it wouldn't be hushed. The
room-mates of the decamped young
lady were besieged for information.
Then the story got out of school,
it has been verified, and the result
has been a perceptible commotion
in society circles.

Swimming Two Hundred Miles.

In the steamship Queen, which
left this port recently, there was
as one of the passengers the noted
Paul Boynton, pearl diver, life saw.
or, and man fish in general. He
leaves on a dangerous experiment,
which is none other than to make
a sea voyage in a life-saving suit.
1t is his intention to drop over
board not less than two hundred
miles from land either after leaving
New York or before reaching Liv-
erpool, when he will be left to the
mercy Of the waves until he shall
meet with parting vessel. Mr..
Boynton is confident that he will
come out all right in the matter
and prove the value of the dress.
This is q rubber suit or armor of
peculiar pattern, containing COM
partments which when inflated, it
is claimed is able to float a man of
any weight in safety. The one
taken by Boynton viii weigh
fifteen pounds, and he carries with
with him rubber bag, two dozen
signal lights, two pounds Of cheese,
six pounds of crackers, and one
piece Of bologna sausage, one axe,
and one bowie knife for sharks,
signal lights, rockets, an extra suit
Of clothes, and a large double
bladed paddle with which to pro-
pei himself. Mr.. Boynton is man
Of fine physique, and weighs about
one hundred and eighty pounds.
On the Jersey coast he claims to
have saved seventy-one lives.

Russian Ghost Stories.

In certain village there was {
girl who hated work, but loved
gossip. So she never spun herself,
but invited the other girls to her
house, where she feasted them, and
they spun for her. During one OF
these spinning feasts dispute arose
as to which of the party was the
boldest.
'I'm not afraid of anything"
said the lazybones.
"Well, then," said the spinners,
"if you're not afraid, go through
the graveyard into the church, take
down the holy picture from the
wall, and bring it here"
"Very good" said she; "I'll bring
it, only each of you must spin mo
q distaff full"
Well, she went to the church,
took down the picture and brought
it home with her. But then the
picture had to be taken home again,
and the midnight hour had arrived.
Who was to take itl
go on spinning, You girls" said
the lazybones, "I'll take it back
myselfi I'm not afraid of any
thing"
So she went back to the church
and replaced the picture. AS she
passed through the graveyard, on
her return, she saw corpse in a
white shroud sitting on a tomb. It
was a moonlight night, and every
thing was visible. She went up to
the corpse and pulled his shroud
of. Its hour for string hadn't
arrived, perhaps. Then she went
home, carrying the shroud with
her.
After supper, when everybody
had gone to bed, all Of sudden
the corpse tapped at the window,
saying, "Give me my shroud Give
me my shroudp The other girls
were frightened out Of their wits.
But the lazybones took the shroud,
opened the window, and said;
"There take It."
"No," replied the corpse, stake
It to the place you got 1t FROM"
Just then q cock crowed; the
corpse vanished.
Next night, at the same hour,
after all the spinners had gone to
their own homes, the corpse came
again, tapped at the window, and
cried.
"0ive me my shroudp
Well, the girls father and mother
opened the window, and offered
the corpse its shrocd, but it cried :
"Nol Let her carry 1t back to
The place she took it FROM"
Just then the cocks began to
rrow--the corpse disappeared.
Well, the next day they sent for
The priest, told him the whole story
and implored him to help them.
The priest reflected awhile, then
Told the girl to como to mass the

The time is rolling around and
approaching for the friends and pa
irons of the Democrat to select, for
Centennial year, some good and reli-
able Northern and Western papers, to
which they must become subscribers
for that year. We take pleasure in
recommending to their favorable con-
sideration the Sun, the Tribune and
the World, of New York City, as
Journals eminently fitted for their
purposes, as also the Enquirer, OF
Cincinnati, which is not outranked
in excellence and talent by any Jour
nal in this Union. In due time we
shall publish the Prospectus for ZIG
of each of these Journals, and in the
mean time recommend our friends to
start their clubs at once and be ready
to commence with New Years day.
