people, has arrived in London, and its ex-

street, has caused some stir in artistic cir
cles. 1t is faithful likeness, and is COM

Under the present national administra-
ton the assistants of cabinet officers are
never admitted to cabinet meetings as
proxies for their absent chiefs, and to those
with full knowledge of the fact, says the
Baltimore american, the occasional con-
duct of Mr.. Frank Hattan is very amusing.
Several times in the absence of the post
master general his first assistant has been
called to the White house to inform the
president as to what matters in that de-
partment required attention at the cabinet
meetings. On these occasions Mr.. Hatton
would come early and stay late;" not in
the cabinet room, however, but in the ante
room. When the meeting broke up he
would come out with some member of the
cabinet and slyly whisper to a reporter:
"We didn't do anything but talk over rou-
tine Matters" and the reporter and his
comrades would have good laugh over
the wonderful influence Mr.. Hatton must
have in the cabinet meeting in session in a
room adjoining, but divided by locked
doors from the one in which he cools his
heels.

night dress, the front of which was dyed
with blood and scorched as though hot
iron had been applied to it, the left sleeve
being nearly burned off, and the poor
woman more dead than alive through fright

the west wall of the room, was traced in
blood the initials, an. R. F. The alright
ed lady, when she had recovered herself
somewhat, said she had been awakened first
by the lighted lamp moving towards her,
lmpelled by an invisible hand. When
she shrieked for aid and the lamp fell to
the floor, something grasped her left arm.
and voice whispered distinctly, danger!
dangerw The odor of something burning
being still perceptible, search was insti-
tuted, and in a small closet near the door
was found box of Mrs. Ashby's letters,
received from her husband and several
gentlemen friends, among them being a
number that she had received from Moses
R. FELTON,, telegraph operator who died
in Texas some years ago, and who was a
lover of hers previous to her marriage to
Mr.. Ashby. A large hole had been burned
in every letter the box contained, her hus-
bands being all torn to pieces. Along with
the still smoldering letters was found a
message, written apparently in blood, read
ing as follows:
"LIBBIR-Danger; come to me; your
life. MR. DANGER"
On another night loud rappings were
heard in the back parlor, and on repairing
thither the astonished family found a
postal-card written that morning by Mrs.
Ashby to friend, desiring him to call
with reference to the trouble, dangling
from the curtain-string and badly burned.
Alongside of it also hung a small gold
pencil. Mrs. Ashby then, at the request
of her brother, wrote a message to the
spirit" asking it IN so many words to
estate its business" The message was
duly hung on the curtain-string that night,
and, though the family did not retire, rap
pings were heard distinctly throughout the
night. Monday morning the following
message was found:
''Libbie-Death to you by W. S. in July.
Be prepared. will see you over the river.
an. r. F.'
On the morning of March the most re-
markable occurrence of all took place. The
messages written by the spirit had been
left lying on the sewing machine in the
rear parlor over night, and when Mr.. Will
Hanson went to take possession of them
they had vanished out of sight. The house
was searched from basement to garnet, but
no trace Of them was to be found. Mr..
Williamson gives it up. He says he does
not believe in spirits, being a good Metho-
dist, but wants any one who can solve the
mystery for him to come in and do so
quick.

A SPECTRE OF THE BROKEN.
The atmospheric Phenomenon of the Harta
Mountains Seen in NeUada.

The AtInoS pheric Phenomenon of the Harts
Mountains Seen in NeUadd.
The famous spectre of the Broken,
which frequently appears in the Hartz
mountains, seldom visits this country but
it was seen not long ago from the Toujabe
range in Nevada by Mr.. R. A. Mari, of the
coast and geodetic survey, who gives this
account of the atmospheric phenomenon
Suddenly, as stood looking over the
vast expanse beneath me, saw myself
confronted by the monster figure of man
standing in mid air before me upon the
top of clearly defined mountain peak,
which had but the thin air of the valley
below for a resting place. The figure was
| only short distance from me. Around it
we're two circles of rainbow light and
color, the outer one family defined as COM
pared with the inner one, which was bright
| and clear and distinctly iridescent. Around
| the head of the figure was beautiful halo
| of light, and from the figure itself shot
| rays of colors normal to the body. The
sight startled me more than can now tell.
l threw up my hands in establishment, and,
perhaps, some fear, and at this moment
| the spectre seemed to move toward me.
In few minutes I got over my fright,
and then, after the figure had faded away,
[ recognized the fact that had enjoyed
one of the most wonderful phenomena of
| nature. Since then we have seen it once
or twice from JEFF Davis peak, but it has
never created such an impression upon me
as it did that evening when 1 was doing
| service as heliotyper, all alone, on the
top of Arc Dome.''

Il Second Hand President.
Washington Critic. 2sd.l


Mr.. Blaine has a very forcible way of ex-
pressing his opinion of men som etimes by
telling anecdotes. This was illustrated a
few days age when party of two or three
gentlemen were discussing the admins
tratien of President Arthur. One of the
party asked the distinguished statesman
from Maine what he thought of Mr.. Ar
thurs administration. Mr.. Blaine said he
would illustrate by relating little Incl
dent that took place during
the administration of John Tyler
Said Mr.. Blaine: During Mr..
Tyler's administration the envoy extraor-
binary and minister plenipotentiary of
France brought to Washington a very
handsome barouche. Mr.. Tyler took a
great fancy to it, and for sone time con-
templated buying it for his own use. He
had an Irishman for his coachman. So he
concluded one day he would call Pat in
and ask him what he thought of the idea
of buying the barouche. Pat was sent for
and when he came into the presence of Mr..
Tyler the president said to him: "Pat,
have you seen that barouche of the
French minister?'' "I have, yer hon.
or" 81 have been thinking for some
time of buying it. What do you
think of it," eyer honor, it's very nice
concern" 'But, Pat" said Tyler, sit
would not look very well for the president
of the United States to be riding around
in a secondhand barouche, would it?'
"Well, yer honor, you see you're a sort of
secondhand PRESIDENT Before Pat had
time to finish what he was going to say Mr..
Tyler, with a wave of the hand, beckoned
Pat to be gone. "Now," said Mr.. Blaine,
Il suppose you understand and appreciate
fully my idea of the present administra-
ton"

Robits of Literaru Mem.

Mark Twain finds two glasses of cham
payne admirable for loosening the tongue,
and happy inspiration for an after-dinner
speech; but his experience has been that
wine clogs the brain for mental work, and
he can never write to his satisfaction after
drinking even one glass. He likes tobacco
as stimulant. Oliver Wendell Holmes
prefers an entirely undisturbed and un-
clouded brain for mental work, unstimulat-
ed by anything stronger than tea or coffee,
unaffected by tobacco or other drugs. His
faculties are best under his control in the
forenoon, between breakfast and lunch.
The only intellectual use he can find In
stimulants is the quickened mental action
they produce when taken in company,
He thinks ideas which thus reach the
brain may remain after the stimulus has
ceased. W. D. Howells never uses tobacco,
except ia self-defensive cigarette" where
a great many other persons are smoking,
and when he takes wine it weakens his
work and working force next morning.
Lyman Abbott uses neither alcohol nor
tobacco. Matthew Arnold drinks claret
habituslly, and it suits him. The late
George N. Beard found alcohol benumb-
ing and Supplying, but tobacco,
opium, tea, and coffee had an
effect precisely the reverse. Prof. Blackie
takes wine to sharpen his appetite, but
never as stimulant for intellectual work.
Wilkie Collins says he is nerved and COM
posed by tobacco. Thomas A. Edison is
! too violently melted by smoking or drink
ing, but gets inspiration from chewing to-
bacco. Gladstone regards wine, in moder-
ate quantities, as necessary to him at the
. time of the greatest intellectual exertion,
but he detests tobacco.
