the st. Lawrence, thanking God in
their Irish that they had been per-
mltted to escape the two DESTROYING
angels. This is a matter worthy
the attention of Boston and New
York Spiritualists. The materiali-
zation of the ship, the crew and
the Irish language is perfect, and,
beyond question, honest. The
craftiest Of the Blisses or Katie
Kings could not play such tricks.
OFF Pointe Magdeleine, in the
gulf, the French fishermen hear the
cry Of an unbaptized infant. Near
the pleasant watering-place, Tadou-
sac, the wall of a woman, believed
to have been the wife of a wicked
seignior in the feudal days of Que
bee, makes hideous the Descente
des Femmes, and is often heard on
River aux Canards, on the south
bank Of the Lower Saguenay. A
phantom boat is seen in the fall in
Lac St. Jean, and when the first
ice Of winter is forming in the
Ashuapmouchouan river, in the
parish Of st. Louis Roberval, a
boat appears toiling for hours, while
the ghostly crew strive in vain to
break through. There is indeed a
rich harvest in these regions for
those who commune with the "oth-
er shore"

Geod Manners.

Ihe essence OF good manners Is q
kind thoughtfulness of others.
The man who goes to his room in a
hotel stamping and talking through
the corridor, slamming his door
and flinging his boots down heavily
upon the floor is merely brutally
selfish. He is not aware that he
owes duties to other people who
will be affected by his conduct. He
does not think that he rudely
awakes some one to whom sleep is
indispensable, and whom he has no
right to disturb. Haydon's picture
Of the man in the chop-house wait
ing for the Times, which his neigh
Dor has held for an hour, and is
evidently bent upon holding until
he has read all the advertisements,
is an illustration of this common
selfshness. The talk and conduct
in the cars are generally signs Of
vanity or a morbid self-conscious-
ness. A well-bred man keeps his
toothaches and his headaches to
himself, and does not assume that
strangers are interested in his diges-
ton. A well-bred woman keeps
her children quiet, and does not
assume that all her fellow-t travellers
must share her fondness for them.
If Mrs. p, with her vivid sense OF
Mr.. P.'s peculiarities and of her
fine equipage, could only once
know how supremely unimportant
any individual is, how well the
world Jared before Mr.. P. arrived,
and how unshocked the universe
will be by his departure, she would
be a modest and well-mannered
woman. That knowledge, indeed,
would be a general corrective Of
manners. A certain kind of per
sonal conceit often accompanies
undeniable superiority. There are
men, like Lord Chatham, who like
to have their going and coming re-
garded as events, to move with a
pompous hustle, and to be constant.
ly recognized as great men. But
if they could only know it, that
very taste is constantly accounted
to them for weakness, and theil
influence is just so far lessened.

beach, gars, catfish and perch. They
all bite freely at bait, and make a
game fight if hooked. Fishing is
entirely done with rod and reel.
Though the bear abound in the
swamp it is very hard to get q shot
at them. You can often hear them
crashing through the cane brakes,
but rarely see them. A few months
ago one big black bear deliberately
passed through the village in a dog
trot. 1t raised the village. Old
men took their single-barrels that
hadn't gone off for a hundred years,
and that were all the world like
Rip Van Wrinkles fowling piece,
and instantly snapped them off.
Everybody got their arms, but
Monsieur lie Bruin kept on regard
less of the bird shot that ratified
against his side, and at last, after
trayersing the entire town, disap-
peared in the woods beyond, where,
no doubt, in bear language, he told
his companions of his wonderful
adventure.
There is no highway or road
through the swamp; only a canal
runs some distance up it to bring
out the shingles, which, being made
Of juniper and cypress, are the
most durable in the world. There
is nothing else in the Dismal thai
can be turned to use. The lumber
business has lamentably fallen of
since the war, and but few shingles
are made now.

A Singular Agreement.

Some twenty-five years ago thir-
teen men-six of Massachusetts,
and seven of New York-entered
into an agreement that as each
died the survivors should attend his
funeral, and that the departed
should appear to the Others after
death if possible. Only two now
survive, one in Springfield and one
in Albany, and, so far as known, nc
communications have yet been re-
ceived from the other world. The
Springfield survivor is sixty one
years old, and says he has slept
alone the three or fonr nights fol
lowing the death of each of the
others in the vain hope Of hearing
from them.

only son and child of Judge and Lucia A.
Drury. He died in Chicago during the
evening Of the TN, inst, at the residence
Of his parents, of consumption, after a
lingering illness, at the age of 20 years.
It's sad to know that one so pure and
promising, surrounded by all that could
possibly contribute to happiness and sue
cess. should be cut down by the hand Of
death. Mr.. Drury was an accomplished
gentleman, Beside travelling in this
country he made prolonged European
tour. On his return he read law and wa!
engaged in the practice in behalf of the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad
with his father, at Chicago, when stricken
with his fatal illness. The funeral will
take place from the Episcopal church

POLICE COURT.

Tuesday, May 8.-About noon yester-
day, George B. Henry, a young farmer,
living back of Moline, appeared before
Justice Chopper and made complaint that
his wife, Sarah, was keeping house of
ill-fame in HastiDgs's row, on 18th street.
A warrant was issued and given TO Deputy
Marshal Blackburn, and, about 9 o'clock
lest evening, that officer, with Policemen
Metsch aud German, proceeded to the
house and arrested Mrs. Henry, Minnie
Wyatt, ALIAS Minnie Dean, Fred Sponn
and David Colmer. Mrs. Henry was too
i'll to be removed from the house, but the
others were. taken before the court. Dave
didn't like to be caught in such place
so he gave his name as Paul Jones-but
this didn't work He was fined Sc and
costs. He got security for the amount,
and was released,
: Minnie and Sponn, the latter tailor by
trade, but for some time pimping for the
house, were fined ST each aud costs. No
money. Sent to Jail
Ed. McCue, alias Ed. Cassidy, was
arrested early this morning by Policemen
Metsch and German on a charge of vag
rancy. He was taken before Justice
Hayden, who sent him to Jail for 10 days.
The arrest was made on complaint oil
David Thompson, a carpenter living in
Moline. but working at Reynolds, who SAID
McCue and another man got him drunk
last night and then took him to the ole
Robinson house on 10th street between
First and Second avenues, where they
robbed him of ST in money, knife anC
other things and then left him. McCut
had nothing on his person belonging tt
Thompson when he was arrested, but thu
police want time to work up the case-anC
hence his confinement in Jail. His partne
is still at large.
