A Ghost Story.

There has been great excitement in
Glasgow, Scotland, about house sup
posed to haunted. The place was a
school; So one Thursday night detect
ives were deputed to proceed to the
house, and endeavor to unravel the mys-
terry. They met the ianitor by appoint
ment and were admitted into the school,
where they placed themselves in posi-.
ton from which they could not be seen,
with the intention Of waiting for what
might occur. They had not maintained
their watch very long when the cause of the
whole delusion disclosed itself. It APP
pears that the house on the opposite size
of Stirling Street are occupied by work
ing class population, who seldom think
of drawing down the window blinds after
the gas is lighted. On the wall of the
old school opposite the windows there are
number of highly-glazed maps, upon
which there is cast reflection of the gas
light in the house opposite. The detec-
tives found that if any movement was
made in one of the houses on the other
side OF the street reflection was made
against the highly-glazed maps, During
the past few nights the windows of the
school had been left open, and the wind
disturbed the maps, which gave the ap-
pearance from the outside as if some OBJ
ject was moving through the school.
The idea Of calling in detectives is very
prosaic. 1t is treatment similar to that
given to . ghost by very matter-of. fact
man, who, at the old manor house, at
dead of night, saw the curtains slowly
open, and ghost approach him, who

So-and-so, who was foully murdered
on y Here the occupant Of the bed
stopped the ghost by the remark, "My
good fellow, it is no business Of mine;
you had better 60 to the police-station."
The feelings OF a snubbed ghost may be
readily imagined.

Two soldiers of an Anglo-Indian regi-
ment near Lucknow, last summer, left
their encampment to indulge in bath.
They had portion Of Jungle to cross,
and in doing 80, the foot of one OF them
slipped into hole. This proved to be
an old elephant trap. The soldier got
his foot Withdrawn from the trap, though
at the cost of his shoe, which the close
ness of the branches caused to come off.
On looking down to sec whether his shoe
was gone, and It it was recoverable, he
oeheld sight which made him shake
from sheer horror. Through the opening
made by his foot he saw an enormous
boa constructor, with its body coiled up
and it's head curved, watching the open

had most probably remained in the place

.GRANsIR.

A grand old man,
Built after the olden plan;
Amuscular body, massive head,
A man to value the longer he lives,
A man to remember when dead.
I'wish you might sec him
Sit back at his ease
awake or asleep, as YOU pleased,
While he whitfs and whews
And read him the news.
'Who's killed ts-day~
He asks in his ancient way;
"Aud what have they stolen this time, my lad
The rascals they thrive like 'pusley' IN peas
Bad works, boy, bad-very badv'
Then for the ludicous perch Of the eye
While the pipe gets slide
Where he putfs and poohs,
Keeping up with the news. IT.. .ar@.
A character!
When he begins, ~ tell We sir,"- ..s
IT'S worth whole book OF our modern talk;
Then the silence after his SAY
The solemn shuttle of his walk - .,n.
And tramping of his cane,
You may put down .t........
When Won see that frown,
And the dim gray lights unusually clever,
He's about to settle some subject forever.
He's so complete
From his head to his feet. 49,.
Inside and out so made to keep! .--
There's no one feature before the rest;
He makes YOU laugh and he makes you weep,
He stops the hole in your soul;
He softens the tough
And levels the rough,
And he snooZes and smokes
And breaches and jokes.
His children and wife r-.
Have gone to the better life,
And not a companion is loft,
But he says: 'They've only the start-that's
al,'
And you never would think him bereft.
He wears the calmest face on the farm, ...
And with genuine stamp ofjoy
Often declares he's young as boyE'
Still he smiles and he smokes
Between sermons and jokes,
A grand old man,
Built after the old plan;
Amuscular body, massive head,
A man to value the longer he lives,
man to remember when dead.
Years yet may b e timber his cricks.
This peerless old son of the past!
And may be the last . -s
While he whitfs and whews,
To listen or read him the news!

One would iHGge from the article in your pa
per yesterday, taken from the Gardiner Journal,
that there i plenty of ice in the country, and no
reason for dealers in New York, Philadelphia or
elsewhere charging more than last year. What
the facts LIST. Everybody knows that we
had this year remarkably mild W inter all over
the northern and western portions of the United
States. SO mild West that the crop of ice ia so
short that ice is being shipped by cars from
the Mohawk and northern part of New York to
Chicago. 1t is usually understood that ice does
not form so FAST IN warm weather in cold
hence we had all over the country sho ter crop of
ice than for several years bctore-at the hest
there was not over two thirds of a crop housed ON
the Hudson and less quantity Of ice was stored on
the kennebec this year than in 1876. Over two
thirds Of all the ice stored on the keunehec has
already been disposed of, and it is not true as
stated IN the GatdiLer journal, that ice can be
bought at 81 p per ton on tins river. A few
tons perhaps might be, but there is no considera.
BILE quantity at that ptlce. some has already
been sold as high as two dollars per ton on this
river. That freights are now - cents would
seem to indicate to the consumer of ice that they
are always - cents when they are liable to 20 m
to 81 10 at any time in the season. In 1876 they
were 81 % to Sl15 part Of the time. lie fails to
mention the amount of waste from time of stor.

Tue facts are that not one-half the ice
stored in housts ever reaches the door of the con-
sumner of ice. lie fails to mention that there are
