1t is strange how closely people read the
papers. We never say anything that any
body don't like but what we soon hear of it
and everybody tells us about it. But if once
in a while we happen to say good thing we
never hear that-nobody seems 10 notice
that We may pay some poor man hundred
compliments and give MIN dozen puffs,
and he takes it as a tribute to his greatness,
and never thinks it does him any good. But
If we happen to say something he doesnt
like, or something that he imagineS reflects
on him or his character, see now quick he
flies up or gets mad about it. Ali our evil is
duly charged TO US, but we never, apparently,
get any credit for what good we do. Such is
the life of newspaper man.

and almost indescribable piece OF social

SHE COMES BACK WHITE.
Temperance OF "A Negress who Has
Been Dead for Years.

Lexington (Mo.) has a haunted
house, SAYS the New York Journal,
whose spiritual inmate differs very
materially from those who have dis
turbed the peace and quiet of persons
living in other cities. The featdre
distinguishing this apparition from
those so often read about is that it
makes It's appearance triennially and
in daylight and is the supposed spirit
of a middle aged negress. This how
ever, does not seem to have detracted
from the pure witness Of the ghost.
About three years ago Mary Free
man died in what was then a tumble
down rookery. inhabited by half a
dozen or more of colored families.
There were mysterious circu instances
attending her death, it IS alleged,
which were not then, and still remain,
unsolved. The only theory advanced
TO explain her sudden taking off was
that she was poisoned by another
woman, a rival for the affections of a
eIusky Adonis. Soon after her death
her spirit, or ghost, appeared, stand
ing upright in the middle of the floor
of the room in which she died, with
outstretched arms. She remained in
this position, seeming altogether in
animate except a swinging movement
of the arms, Immediately causing the
windows and the dishes to rattle.
The darkies fled in terror, and as
soon as sufficient courage was gained
to return to the house a permanent
exodus was made, and the building
remained tcnantless. A few months
later the house was purchased, torn
down, and neat, comfortable cot
tage erected in its stead, since which
time it has been the residence of a
German family. On the third ami
versary of Mary Freeman's death Bet
tie Davis, colored, who lived in the
hut at the time, and who is now EN-
Dloy ed there as a domestic, was sent
into the room standing now where the
one in which the death occurred then
stood. The bed stood on the same side
of tie apartment. Bette walked to
the bed, and just as she was about to
lay a package upon it she saw, as she
has seen three years ago, Mary Free
mans 9 host. The scream to which
she gave vent aroused the neighbor
hood, and despite the fact that the
spirit was visible to no other eye,
Bette insisted that she saw it.
Dozens of other negroes around the
city will testify to having seen the
same spirit, and this is the second
visit. 1t is said the vision of the de
parted Mary promised in sepulchral
tones to come again, and very soon.
tt appraised her of the exact date Of
her intended visit

From the New York Mail and Express.
The decision in favor of the confed-
Grafton of the Australian provinces
will result in important changes in
the islands of the South Sea, and the
fact that Englshmen find it conven-
lent to pass through the United States
in going to Australia is sufficient 10
remind Americans that whatever af-
fects the welfare of the Australian
colonies ought to possess especial in
terest for the people of the United
States. Australians population is now
between 5000, 600 and 1000, 600, and
increasing at the rate of 1000, 600
every Eve years, while the increase Of
imports during 1882 S54, 095 O55, and
the increase of exports $11, 019, 675,
the aggregate foreign trade of the year
being 1857, 105, 699 Our commercial
relations with Australia ought to
rapidly increase IN Importance, and
yet Sir Henry Parkes has occasion,
whenever he visits New York, to re
gret the ignorance Of Americans as to
Australian affairs, many not even
knowing that the great island IS divid-
ed into six provinces. Our enterpris-
ing men ought to be alert to take adj
vantage Of every circumstance which
can be made to aid in the enlargement
of our commerce with Australia, q
country whose land surface is almost
exactly equal to that of the United
States, and whose next century Of
progress may be almost as wonderful
as the past century Of our own repub-
lie.
The confederation of the Australian
provinces viii place them under a
system of government almost precise
ly like that Of the provinces of Can
ada, and Sir Anthony Musgrave, gov
ernor Of Queensland who has been a
leader of the movement for confed-
Grafton, believes that tae change Will
greatly promote the welfare of all the
colonies. So confident was he from
the first that England would sanction
the change that he urged the expires
sion of a desire to have the island of
New Guinea included IN the coated
Grafton, hoping that the benefits Of
the new system may soon be extended
to the entire South Sea population
Half a century ago the commerce of
England was no greater than tLat Of
Australia at the present time, and the
possibility that half century hence
the commerce of Australia may be as
great as that of England at the pres
ent time ought To excite the keenest
interest as to Australian affairs
among the people Of the United
States, a country whose position
ought 10 give her the first place ia
the foreign trade of the South Sea.

Merry Work by a Girl.
Cincinnati Enanlrer

Miss Ella Mccall, young lady of
this city, has suddenly become hero
inc, having performed a feat requir-
ing such bravery and endurance as
few men possess. She lives at 220
Longworth street, near Smith Satur-
day afternoon, as she sat at her sew
ing she was startled by piercing
screams coming from the side yard.
Rushing TO the window, she was in
time to see frankie Parr, the 4-year-
old child of the servant employed in
the family, disappear down the els
tern, the cap of which had lnadvert'
emily been removed. 1t took her but
an instant to reach the opening where
she could see the little fellow found
ering about eight feet below ia four
feet of water. Unfortunately, she
was alone in the house at the time.
The little boy sank below the surface,
and there was no help at hand to sum
mon.
1t was a time to act rather than to
think. and without taking into consid-
Grafton what might be the consequen
ces to herself, Miss Mccall, withouta
moments hesitation grasped the rim
of the cistern and lowered herself
through the orifice. Hanging suspend
ed at arms length for a second, she
dropped into the water, barely kiss
ing the struggling and exhausted
child. In striking the bottom she
lost her footing and was herself sub
merged in the chilling water. She
managed to get the boy into her arms
in time to save his life. She cried
for assistance, but no one being at
home no one came. She tried to at
tract the attention of passers by on
the street, but failed. COurageously
she stood in the water, which reached
above her waist, and held up the BOY,
who was much too heavy . load for
her. She stood there for half an hour.
She was almost fhnting away and
was chilled to the bone when help nm
ally came in the person of her mother,
who had been away on an errand.
Help was quickly brought, and a
ladder was lowered into the cistern.
Miss Mccall scarcely had strength
left to hand Up her charge and had TO
be assisted to the dry ground. Res,
toratives were at once applied, and
yesterday she was as well as usual
and able to receive the many con
gratulatory calls from admlring uelgh-
bOrs.
