t1,ruc Ghost stories.

London Letter to the Liverpool Mercury.
The Two ghost stories told by u most
eminent anato,list are as romantic in
their. way as any told by the Psycholog-
ical society. When hardly more than a
lad at Lancaster, the future defender of
the viyisection was studying fer the
medical profession, he had a horror OF
the CHASTITY details of the business, which
he imagined he could never overcome.
He was cured, strange to say, by a fright.
Having to take some medicine on a
windy night to Lancaster Castle, he had
to PISS through the room i'll which he
had taken part in disscctlons. Just as
he entered the room with the basket of
medicine under his arm, the clouds
which hid the moon suddenly parted,
adoor slammed. and looking, up, the fu-
ture biologist saw what he thought was
an enormous figure in white, with arms
dltstretched, looking down upon him.
HE turned around trembling, and
| against the wall opposite stood another
fInre in white. He dropped his basket
ard ran. The patients in the Lancaster
castle got no medicine that night; but
| when he returned next day and found
that he had been frightened by mortu-
airy sheets, he braced his nerves up so
that he was soon collecting skulls. He
made a fine set, but for & long time ne
could not get an Ethiopian skull. At
last an negro died in Lancaster castle,
and the young doctor got permission to
have his head. 1t was again a windy
night when the operation of removing
the head WIS determined upon. But
habited in lis long cloak, then the fash
ion, and provided with IL blue bag, the
comparative anatomist soon had the
head safely slowed away. AS he left the
room in which the coffin lay, however,
the wind slammed the door, caught his
cloak, and nearly threw him upon his
face. Attempting to ecover himself he
lost his hold of the bag, the head fell
out and rolled with increasing velocity
down q flight of steps. across
a court yard, and settled itself upon the
neck, with one eye open and the other
shut, in a room where two ome
shrieked. The professor rushed wildly
after it, took no notice of the women,
seized the skull, put it in his bag again,
and ran from the castle. -Four or i've
years afterward he was attending a dy-
ing woman, who called loudly for a
clergyman, to whom she had something
to tell. The doctor begged her to tell
him, as there was no clergyman near
enough to be called in time. AT length
she spoke. sob, sir, I had a husband
who was a negro, and, | fear, a badJrnan:
He died sir in Lancaster Castle; and, OH!
sir, | was standing one day in one of the
rooms when my husbands head came
out of the floor, and seemed to ask me
to help him. And then, sir, the devil
came through the floor, snatched UP the
head, put it into a bag, n disappeared
before | could do anything. And have
never done anything. Oh, sir, what can
| do for my poor husbands soul?'

Thest IA on matches will cease on July
i, and after that date the price Of these
exceedingly useful and necessary arti-
cles should be reduced at least by the
amount OF the tax ($l.36 per gross. In
come countries matches are sold at thir-
ty cents a gross. It is no secret that the
continuance of the heavyia of$l.s6 has
been the cause of creating a monopoly
in the b~usiaess, only firms with abund-
ant means being able to carry it on, SO
much ready money being required for
the stamps. So it may be that with the
relief which the repeal Of the tax will af-
ford, smaller concerns may feel encour-
aged to go on with the manufacture.
