The New York Legislature has
taken the roller skating craze in
hand. Two bills are pending before
that body, and one Of them is GER
tain to become a law, with a provision
forbidding the attendance of girls
under IA years of age at the rink
without parent or guardian. Physi-
clans also claim that the prevalence
of pneumonia in New York is large
ly due to the imprudences and ex-
pOsures incident to this rink business.

The Ghosts of Wan Street.


Wall street is full of ghosts Of men
who have been rich and who
now are penniless. they march
down to the street every morning
regularly as do the millionaires, and
wander from one brokers' Office to an
other, bending over the tape, and talk
ing all day long about the market, and
predicting its course. Once in while
they put up S. bill in a bucketshop
and strut around like fighting cocks if
they increase it to SO; but that is the
end, for they Immediately stake the $40
and lose it. There are ex-railroad pres
idents, ex bank presidents, and ex-
everybodys. 1t is sad to see them and
sadder to hear them talk; but it is the
old Story of fortunes thrown away in
gambling Wall street operating, as
usually conducted on margin, is
gambling simon pure, and you cannot
make anything else of it. Nineteen out
of twenty of the men who engage in it
cave money. They always have some
good explanation of why they fail, but
the fact remains that they do fail And
that should be convincing and should
serve as a warning.

operators of to day are striving, not to
increase their fortunes, but to get
back what they have lost. There is a
fascination about winning few hun
dred dollars that overbalances the re-
greet of losing few thousand. A man
will lose four times running and yet go
in the fifth time with an assurance
within him that he can win back all he
has lot. If he chances to win 81, 900
after he has lost $1,000, he instantly
bellies that he can make his fortune.
He never loses that belief While he has
500 remaining, and when the hundred
is broken he repairs to bucket-shop-
having become ghost of Wall street
firm in the belief that on cash capital
of $40 or $50 he will recuperate enough
to take him back into a regular broker q
Office where he will pile up the money
until he is rich again. And SO he gam.
bles every cent on which he can put

LYNCHBURG, VA, March o.
Twenty three years ago Almond f.
Ellington, a wellto-do farmer living
near Rice's Depot, in Prince Ed.
ward county, this state, disappeared,
and the only trace of him that could
be discovered was his hat floating
on a mill-pond in the neighbOrhood
of his house. An exhaustive search.
without result, was made at the
time, even to the draining of the
mill-pond. Seven years later a ne.
gro, while poking in pile of decay
ed Logs on the Ellington farm. in
search of a fugitive rabbit, discover
ed a skeleton, which was identified
as that of the missing man by means
of ring on the little finger and
gold pings IN the teeth. The de-
tectives again set to work, and sew.
eral persons were brought under sus.
picon and examined. but discharged
for want of evidence. The circum.
stances clouded over the life Of the
miller whose mill was at the pond
mentioned; and, though be died de.
nying the crime, many thought he
committed it. A few weeks ago, on
the southern border Of Texas, a gen.
tleman overheard three c0lOred men
talking. One of them, in relating
his history to his companions, said
he had murdered a man in Prince
Edward county, Va, early in the
war. His knowledge of these par.
ticnlars induced the gentleman to
write to the clerk Of Prince Edward
county about the matter. An inyes.
tigation followed, and the result is.
that the cOlored man, Crawford Jeter.
runaway slave of Ellington, is
under arrest and en- route to Prince
Edward county to be tried for the
murder of his master IN 1862.
