The State Teachers Association met

were interesting throughout. Essays
on various topics were read. notable

Twenty Years in School, by r. NJ.
Bridges, York; What education is of
most worth, by Hiram Sapp, Strorns-
burg, and, A Neglected Subject. by E.
I. Hartley, Lincoln. The opening adj
dresses were good and the address by
Chancellor Manatt on the relations OF
the high school to the university was
instructive. As is the case in such
bodies many amusing things were

" TIE WHITE LADY.

The dispatches recently told US of the
temperance of the Hohenzollern ghost
the mysterious "Weisse dame, " whose in.
fuence has been so baneful to the Hohen.
zollern family since the time of Frederick
VI, who died in l44O. The superstition is
that shortly prior TO the death OF member
OF the family the white lady appears.
The recent appearance OF the ghost to the
sentinels before the Alto S3hloss is taken
to indicate the death very soon of some
one of the house Of Hohenzollern.
The white ladies of ghostly history
form quite a numerous train. The first OF
which we have legendary account were
Norman fairies, and by no means gentle
onss. On the contrary, their viciousness
made them greatly feared by the supersti.
tious. These COLLINS were always asso-
ciated with the name of some titled family.
and by tradition intimately related to the
shadowy side of the aristocratic houses.
One of these apparitions will be remem.
bered as wildly drawn in SCOTS " Monas-
terry"
The white lady that is now reported
to have appeared to presage the death Of
one of the Prussian house is supposed to
be the shade Of the Countess Orlamunde.
This woman was the mistress of a Mar.
grave Of Brandenburg, title first assumed
by Albert the Bear, Count OF Ballenstedt
of the house OF Ascania, when he coz
quered the Priegnitz territory and the
Mittlemark, This wOman's ghost is said
TO walk at night in the dim halls of the
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1884-01-30

Alte Schloss, in Berlin, whenever the
death Of one of the royal family is near at
hand. The woman, on the death of the
Margraves wife, expected him to marry
her, but he declining because of her illegit
innate sons, che murdered them by poison.
For this she was buried alive in vault OF
the palace, and row in cold revenge her
unresting spirit walks to warn the house
that so wrong-d her, of approaching woe.
She is said to have appeared to sentinel
at the castle in 1879, just before the death
OF Prince Waldemsr. On two occasions
this vengeful and prophetic ghost has
! spoken, once in the palace at Berlin, where
she chose Latin, and said in measured and
sepulchral tones, 1" 1 wait for judgment. "
Subsequently, at Neuhaus castle, in b.
hernia, the shade appeared and said to a
Princess in German, 1t is 10 o'clock, -
and in fortnight's time the Princess died.
Another story of her differs materially,
and tells of her love for the Prince of
Parma and of her numbering her two
daughters who were obstacles to her am
bitiou.
There is atill another white lady who
visits the Hohenz ollerns. This is Princess
Bertha Won Rosenberg. On her death she
left fund for yearly gift to the poor,
but the sum was exhausted by neg.
lect, and finally disappeared. Sorrow for
this, it is said, causes this other white
lady to glide through the Prussian palace
halls, clad in snowy raiment and swinging
at her girdle noiseless bunch of heavy
keys. Despite their better judgment. SO
strong a hold have these legends upon the
Germans that we are told the story of
the " walking" of one of these ghosts has
created profound sensation in the Prus-
sian capital. When the advanced age of
the Emperor and the enteebled condition
of the Empress are taken into account it is
not altogether improbable that the super
stition may receive new ratification before

The CRUSADE AGAIgsT PBRNICIoUs
LITERATURE.

Rev. Mr.. Sprecher, of San Francisco on
Sunday last preached on the subject of
" Pernicious Literature" and the flash
papers and periodicals of the day. In the
course OF his remarks ne named one San
Francisco daily, saying it was the only
paper that had the pluck to come out in an
editorial short time ago and commend
the good step taken by Chicago in sup
pressing these weekles, and shame the
people OF this city in letting Chicago get
ahead of them in good work" the
reverend gentleman should have informed
himself more thoroughly concerning the
litel ature OF the topic before SO tiatteringly
giving credit. The statement of the
speaker is seriously defective The paper
he refers to, so far frcm being the first, has
only been heard 10 advocacy OF the reform
desired very lately. 1t was not even the
first daily paper in San Francisco to take
mp the question and boldly assail t1e de-
morslizing literature of the news. stands.
The San Francisco Report for fully a year
has been earnest in the good work. Both
the daily papers of Sacramento have for
some years urged upon the attention of our
Legislatures and our officials this matter OF
indecent exposure Of vile prints, and the
dangers to our youth of pernicious news-
stand literature. We have no de.
sire whatever for "credit in the
matter, but at the same time
protest against an eleventh hour
advocate being Landed as the only journal
with pluck sufficient to do right. The
truth is years ago the REcoRD.UNIoN en-
tered upon the agitltion of the matter re-
ferred to by the clergyman, and has, in
several OF it's departments, kept it promi-
nently in one form or another before the
public, 1t has urged several Legislatures
to take action in the premises, and has
reason to believe that no little Roadway
has been made in the right direction. Dur
ing the year 1888 this journal gave still
more and very frequent attention to the
subject, editorislly and otherwise, and
with vigor advocated reform. 1t has
never, however, considered that it required
any great degree OF "pIuek to do So 1t
is simply a question of deceDcy and moral
purity, concerning which no average citi-
zen can go wrong II the pulpit had 'the
pluck and enterprise which have charac.
terizsd the press in the campaign against
pernicious ltersture-in other words, if
there were more clergymen as out
spoken as Mr.. Sprecher, and more accu.
rate as to facts-the work of checking
the food. tide OF pernicious literature, that
is poisoning the minds of the young, and
offending with its glazing indecencies the
good taste and modesty of every self.re-
specting person who traverses the streets,
the crusade which IN Illinois, Georgia and
New York has met with such success,
would be further advanced in California.

1t makes no difference whatever to the
San Francisco Examiner that the land pos,
sessed by certain foreign companies in Viz.
ginia and Texas, New Mexico and other
places were not acquired from the United
States Government that in the two States
named the Federal Government had no
lands to sell. The purpose of the paper
was to fortify the prejudices of the unin.
telligent of its party, and hence it shame
iacedly charged that the possession by
numerous foreign companies of vast areas
OF land in the United States is due to the
fact that Republican administrations have
granted ipubhc lands to them during the
past twenty years. This was bold-fsced
lie, an unblushing and demsgogic political
fAlsehood. To say that it was the result
of Ignorance on the part of the Examiner
is lar more damaging to it than TO denomi.
