A MALIGNANT GHOST.

In tenement house on the estate of Mr..
George Shannahan, near Royal Oak, there
lived an old white man and his wife named
Jackson. On different part of the estate,
in another tenement house, lived colored
man named Jack Skinner. Jack belonged
to Mr.. Shannahan, but his wife and chill
dren were free born. Jack had daughter
named Mamie, after her mother. 1t was
the delight of this girl to make mouths at
and mock and torment old Jackson, always
taking good care not to let the old man get
hold of her. 1t made him so mad he
swore that, when he died, he would come
back and haunt her. The war between
them was kept up for several years, until
Jackson's death. Some time afterwards,
| while the girl was sitting in her fathers
house, all of sudden there came down the
chimney chunk OF fire, that fell and scat
tered over the floor, the Goals hitting the
girl After that the house, when the girl
would be in it, would be pelted with chunks
of wood, clods OF earth, brick bats, oyster
shells, etc., and no one could see from
whence they came, as no one on the prem
Uses was visible except the family, and they
could find out nothing about it. They all
believed and declared it was old Jacksons
greatest excitement throughout the neigh
borhood, and indeed throughout the coun-
ty, for persons came from long distance
to witness the phenomenon. We once
heard gentleman of unquestioned veracity
say he went there determined to unravel
the mystery, if possible. He took the girl
alone out in the middle of a field, and, to
his utter astonlshment, she was pelted

bic agency, which he could never under
stand, as it was impossible for any one to
be in collision with her. The mystery
never was explained, and the throwing
and tormenting of the girl continued,
| until some of her relations came from
Baltimore and took her with them to the
city, when no further disturbance occurred.
If it was old Mr. Jacksons ghost it seemed
to have been satisfied with driving her off
the farm. 1t is our recollection that the
girl was never seriously hurt by any of the
missiles hurled at her. Ii out OF doors she
generally saw them coming before they hit
and would dodge them; if in the house,
they would strike the hearth, the walls or
some article of furniture, without hitting
her. 1t was not malicious ghost but
simply appeared to be full of deviltry 1t
was unceasing in its prosecutions, until it
succeeded in driving her off the premises.
There was an old woman in the neighbor-
hood named Katie Coburn, who had the
reputation of being witch, and some
thought she was at the bottom of the dew
ilment but she lived some distance away,
across creek, and it is not likely that she
could have had anything to do with it.
The general belief at the time was that it
was old Mr.. Jackson's ghost infictng on
the girl just punishment for her impudenee
to him in his lifetime. Il Easton Md. )Star.

HENRY WILsoN.-The late Henry VIII
son was consistent teetotaler, and once
gave at Washington dinner without wine
to w. K. Forster, now Chief Secretary for
Ireland, and another member of Parlia-

Among the other guests were one or two
members of the Cabinet and several foreign
Ministers, Senators, Representatives and
journalists. Mr.. T. l. White records that

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH OUR DAUGH-
TIERS?

Don't teach them self-reliance. 1t is so
much easier for them to rely on some one
else.
Don't let them learn how to make bread.
Their beau might think they were not well
bred.
Don't allow them to learn to make shirts.
1t is better they should not know. Then,
when they are married, their husbands can
work twenty hours day to get money
with which to buy ready made ones, while
they knit red dogs
Above all things, do not fail to teach
them how to wear false hair, and if your
daughter objects to bang her hair, bang
her over the head.
Do not allow them to learn bow to make
their own dresses. 1t is fashionable to have
dress-maker.
Teach them that dollar is only 100
cents, and does not amount to much.
Do not let them learn how to cook.
Should they understand the cuisine art
and know what is needed in the family,
the servant could not supply all her rela.
tives with edibles.
Teach them to darn their neighbors, but
not stockings.
Don't allow them to learn how to sew OIL
buttons. They might get needles in theil
fingers.
Teach them to regard the money and moi
the morals of their suitors.
Teach them none of the mysteries of the
kitchen, the dining room and the parlor
Teach them that the more one lives be-
yond his income the more he will save.
Urge them to go with incorporate young
men. 1t is convenient to have drunken
husband, as the wife is enabled to take pin
money from his pocket while he is taking
a drunken snooze.
Finally. teach them that God, who made
them, is an old fogy, and made them in
His image, which necessitates tight-lacing.

CAvALRYMEN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. =
Some cavalrymen near the Cape OF Good
Hope were in a heavy thunderstorm. A
flash of lightning flung seventeen horses
with their riders to the ground, killing ten
men and five horses on the spot. Those
who were not killed were all seriously in
jured, and it was long before animation
could be restored in the case of seven of
the men. All the bits and stirrup irons
were blackened, and many of the men,
though personally uniniured, had their
clothing rent by the force OF the electric
discharge. The greatest difficulty was
naturally experienced in preventing gen.
eral stampede among the frightened horses.
