Ghost, sr Iybofy

A correspondent of the New York
SIM gives the following account Of a
very remarkable occurrence:
He was pursuing his studies at a
college in France. Having gone to
bed about 8 o'clock in the evening, he
was awakened at midnight by what
semed to him the laying Of q icy cold
hand on his forehead. He sprang up
right in his bed. He was astounded
and unnerved at beholding the form
Of his father before him. At first he
was unable 10 speak but, being coura.
geous man he gained his composure
and selfpossession. He looked at his
watch. As he did so the spectre sud-
denly vanished. He noted the cir.
cumstance in his memorandum book,
and wrote a letter to his friends in Ire.
land inquiring ifany thing unusual had
happened. The news soon arrived by
mail that his father was deal and that
during his illness the old man had fre-
quently manifested a great desire to
see his absent son before he departed.
Singularly enough, the time of his
death corresponded exactly with that
The interior journal. [volume] (Stanford, Ky.) 1872-1881, 1878-05-31

The origin Of the above is briefly
this; A young student Of Naples be-
lieving himself dying, and fearing the
news Of his death would break the
heart Of his widowed mother, who
passionately loved him--after much
reflection, adopted the following de-
vice: He wrote 10 his mother, telling
her he was i'll, and that soothsayer
had foretold him that he could not re.
cover until he wore a shirt made by a
woman who had no trouble-in fact,
who was perfectly happy and content
Ell. The widow, in her simplicity,
thought that attaining such garment
was an easy task; but after making
inquiries from her friends found that
each had a secret care. At last she
heard, from several sources. of a lady
surrounded by every comfort, and
possessing a husband who seemed to
think of nothing but making her hap
Py. The old lady hastened to her,
and made known her wish; the lady
made no reply, but took her visitor
into an adjoining closet where she was
horror.struck at beholling a skeleton
suspended from beam. "For twen.
ty years have ! been married. said
the lady. IL was forced to marry my
husband while loving another; shortly
utter our wedding, my former lover
came one evening to bid me farewell
forever; my husband surprised us
while together and instantly stabbed
him, whom he unjustly suspected, to
the heart; he then caused his skeleton
to he preserved, and every day he
makes me visit it," The widow con.
cludcd that no one was without trou-
BILE, and as her son had desired, she
became reconciled to the idea of his
loss. Every one has his troubles
there isa skeleton in every house. -

A Mexican exchange contains q
lengthy account ofa terrible love trag'
ely which recently occurred at Quad
nlniara, capital of the State Of Jalisco.
We condensc the facts as follows "A
young, beautiful and wealthy widow
had two suitors, one being talented
medical student and the other dry
goods clerk. Tie former, though gra.
ciously looked upon as friend, met
several reyerses a. lover. and final
ly, for reasons not made public. was
prohibited from calling upon the beau-
iiful, hut bcrcaved widow. The dry
goods clerk, on the contrary, was an
Adonis ever warmly received by his
Venus. His hopes Of gaining the
heart and hand Of his idol increased
daily, and attracted public attention.
This produced ferocious jealousy and
desperation in the mind of the more
unfortunate rival.
One day, a Friday (supposed to he
an evil day in the calender of gossips),
the widow threw opeu her residence
for the reception OF friends. The at
tendance was large, and composed of
the aristocracy Of Gaudalaiara, the
second city Of the Republic in culture,
taste and refinement. A grand hall
followed the reception, and the finest
music Aoated forth its harmony to
make the affair as delicious rs II was
brilliant. Among those IN attendance
were the young medical student and
the dry goods clerk-the latter hav-
ing considerable local fame as a poet.
During the dizzy waltzes the student
observed that his rival was the partner
Of the charming widow, q fact which
intensified his jealousy. Unable to
control himself. the disciple Of
Esculapius. startled the sssemblage by
insulting in the most elegant manner
the dry goods clerk; and followed this
by challenging him tn duel then and
there.
The man Of the tape instantly ac-
cepted the chsllenge, and. being pre-
pared for emergencies. the duel took
place without unnecessary ceremony.
The principals selected their seconds.
and, walking into the patio or court
yarl OF the residence ot the widow,
commenced their deadly work. The
first shot of the dry goods clerk was
fatal, as Was that of the medical stu
dent. Both were mortally wounded,
and expired in a few moments. The
affair was conducted in such a cool
and busines-.like way that the assem-
blage could scarcely believe any
thing had happened until they saw the
two dead hodie- lying in the patio.
The woman in the case, beholding the
terrible sight Of which she was the
prime cause, burst into tears, and ex-
claimed; my God! pardon me; |
am innocent. t.--[San Francisco Chron-

liver the usual quart OF mixture, the
gentleman Of the house kindly in
quired-
"Thomss. how many quarts Of milk
do you deliver"
"Ninety-one.'
And how many cows have you?"
"Nine, sir"
The gentleman made some remarks
about an early spring, close of the
Eastern war and the state Of the roads
and then asked
"Say, Thomas, how much milk per
day do your cows average"
"Seven quarts, sir
"Ah--um." said the gentleman as
he moved of. Thomas looked after
him, scratched his head, and all at
once grew pale as he pulled out a
short pencil and began to figure on the
wagon cover.
"Nine cows is nine, aud | set seven
quarts down under the COWS and mul.
tiply. That's sixty.three quarts Of

eighteen, and the hest Of feeling pre-.
