A Lively Ohio Ghost.

A Dayton (Ohio) special says: 4 thou
sand people surround the graveyard in
Miamisburg, town near here, every night
to witness the antics Of what appears to be
a genuine ghost. There is no doubt about
the existence Of the appartion, as Mayor
Marshall, the revenue collector. and hun
dreds of prominent citizens, all testify TO
having seen 1t. Last night several hun
dred people, armed with clubs and guns.
assaulted the spectre, which appeared to
be a woman in white. Clubs, bullets, and
shot tore the air in which the mystic figure
fioated without dlsconcerting it I'm the least.
A portion of the town turned out en- mdSSe
to-day and began eXhuming all the bodies
in the cemetery.
The remains of the Buss family, COM
posed OF three people, have already been
exhumed The town is visited daily by
hundreds of strangers, and none are dis
appointed, as the apparition is always on
dHty promptly at 8 O'Clock. The strange
figure was at once recognized by the in
habitants Of the town as young lady sup
posed to have been murdered several years
ago. Her attitude while drifting among
the graves is one Of deep thought, with
the head inclined forward and hands clasp

ARTHUR MOURNED as DEAD
BY the Chinese Minister ut Washington and
His Suite.

BY the Chinese Minister ut Washington and
His Suite.
A very good story on the Chinese Minis
ter is Just now floating about, and. as 1t is
rather mirth-provoking, | give it for what
it IS worth:
Mr.. Tsao Ju, the Minister, is a most de-
lciously absurd old person, and looks like
a Goldfish. He knows about seven words
OF English, but has a spry young secre-
tary. who knows the whole English Ian
guage, including the cuss words. One
day not long since Mr.. Ju, stepping out Of
his front door, saw printed yellow slip
which lad been left by the gas-mau lying
in the vestibule. Now. yellow paper in
China signifies the death OF a very distin-
guished person, so Mr.. Tsao, in much agi-
tatiOn. sent for the interpreter. The inter-
prefer had gone off to the Theatre Comidue,
and so the legation was left to wrestle with
the gas-bill alone The whole suite was
summoned, and it was concluded that the
President was defunct and this was the Of
fetal notice. Mir. Tsao Immediately retired
to the drawing-room with his suite, had
every window shut up, and placing the gas
bill upon an efligy Of COnfucius, he and
his suite proceeded to hold Chinese
wake. They howled in chorus. and they
howled separately. The Minister howled
for an hour in the blue petticoat lie
usually wears, and then changed It
to yellow petticoat and howled more vo-
ciierously than ever, while he beat his
breast and tore at his queue. An African
lady employed about the kitchen peeped
through the door after hearing the hula
baloo, and. seeing the gaS-bill and knowing
the methods OF the Washington Gas Com
pany, retired, thinking it nothing remark
able that people should howl over the gas
bills OF the Washington Gas Company.
A policeman, accompanied by section
OF American youth, pounded at the
back gate and demanded to know
who was being murdered by Mr.. Tsao
Ju. The African lady explained that,
"Tisn't muffin but the gas-bill. an dats
'nuff to make folks holler." The police
man, seeing the reasOnableness Of this, de-
parted. After five hours Of bawIing,
interspersed with tea, frecrackers, and
Chinese hymns, the interpreter returned
and it was found instead Of the President
being dead the gas company merely de-
manded about S2j for burning s. worth
Of gas.

a Toronto telegram says: "Mr. George

remarkable discovery. While digging on
his farm he struck on large stone, and
after clearing the dirt away discovered a
petrified man. The figure measured seven

was almost perfect in form. Parts OF the
body were white, and the rest was OF a
dark-grayish color. II is one Of the great
est curiosities evec seen in this country"

AFemale DepufY sheriff.

the only chance of the appearance of

the control of one or both the branches
