/ quaintance began no one now knows.
One night two of Taylor's deacons. led
by rumor, watched in the c0urt,sa him

OF his own, and saw him return. They

but agreed TO keep his secret if he would
move TO another part of the city and
1 give up his clandestine visits. He
| promised, but again he fell. Divorce
from his wife and distribution of their
property followed. and Taylor took up
his permanent residence with the wO-
man, gave her all his money, abandon
ed his name, and married her as
Thomas Thompson. In few years he
became physical wreck, and fingered
! in living death for over twenty years,
tenderly and faithfully cared for by the
woman. In January, 1860. at the age
of 55 years, he died in her arms, and
was buried in her lot with every attent
ton to detail possible. She even wen
out to watch the digging of the grave.
To the workmen she said:
keep his head well up, Patrick. Mr..
Thompson never liked to lay with his
head low
Her instructions were followed, and
the head of his coffin lies nine inches
higher than the foot.
The third, whose lot was the saddest
of all, but upon whom she layished all
the affection of her perverted nature,
was twenty-foUr years her junior. His
name was Simpson +. Van Zant, a
member of the bar, an accomplished
I and Gnhnl4ri.v Ia4.,or l. -
lected because of these talents for the
responsible position of librarian of the
Mercantile Library. Her influence
over him amounted to an infatuation,
and wrought his financial ruin. This
accomplished, he dropped out of her
sphere and was lost to her sight for
years. la the course of the charitable
visits which she made in after wears in
the almshOnse she was Mortified to find
Van Zandt there, a physical and men
tai wreck. She took Immediate steps
to have him removed. She drove the
tenants ont of one of her best paving
properties, in the mean time providing
all the comforts possible for him at the
almshouse and daily sending out =
meal of the rarcst dclicacies She was
| impressed with the idea that he must
be cured, and when her tenants had
moved she refurnished the house and
installed him therein with profession
al attendant. She employed the high
est special talent among the physicians
of the city, but all was useless. He
died and was inferred in the same
grave and on top of the coffin of the
Rev. Thomas Thompson Taylor.
With her self-reliant shrewdness this
dissolute woman sought to throw a
halo around her memory by devOting
the latter years of her life to acts of
charity. There are respectable men

kindnesses; yet the attendants upon
her burial can be counted upon the

Seeing the Phantom Ship,

Sailors are proverbially n supersti-
tious class; but among the many super
natural things in which Jack believes,
there is none better known than the tale
OF the FLYING Dutchnan. The story
goes that in the early days of the East
India trade vessel left Amsterdam
bound for the Indies. She had fine
weather until She reached the vicinity
of the Cape of Good Hope. when she en-
countcred gales and head winds. against
which she was unable to make Roadway.
After irving for several weeks to round
the cape. the captain, who was noted
for his profanity. Sworc that he would
accomplish il if il took until the day of
Judgment. His oath was heard. and
to punish him for his profanity he was
condemned to battle ceaselesSly with
the elements off the STORMY Cape UNI
til the great trump shall sound which
will arouse the dead. Many an old
sailor has thrilling stories to tell of his
meeting with the Flying Dutchman, and
if these stories may be believed u meet
ing with the phantom ship is a sure sign
of wreck and disaster. An old seaman,
who spent his early days in the merchant
service, but who is now a captain in the
United States Revenue Marine, in speak
ing of the phantom ship to a Tribune
reporter, said:
Il well remember the fright | once
had on her account. l was boy then,
on my first trip to sea, and the sailors
spent all of their spare time in telling
me stories of the sea, and particularly
blood-curdling stories of the Flying
Dutchman. We were homeward bound
from Manila at the time of my fright,
and as we neared the Cape of Good
Hope | began to think over the tale of
the phantom ship, and by the time we
had rounded the cape | had worked my
self into such a state that the appearance
of a sail on the horizon would send a
chill over my body. The sailors noticed
NV condition and determined to have
some fun at my expense. One night,
during nv watch on deck, soon after we
had passed the cape, one of the seamen
touched me on the shoulder and said,
There's the FLYING Dutchmanr | look
ed over the weather rail, and although
we were under reefed top-sails, saw
large ship bearing down on US under a
cloud of canvas | stood with bated
breath and with my eyes fixed on the
ship until she had passed MS and disap-
peared in the darkness to leeward. As
She had neared us my hair seemed to
stand on end, and it was not until she
was out of sight that i regained sniff
eient control of myself to speak. 1t was
not until afterward that found out that
a ship running before the wind could
carry sail with perfect safety that would
swamp a ship that was close-hauled.
The men who had been watching me
were delighted with the success of their
plan to frighten ''Greeny,n and it was
many day before heard the last o.
the Flying Dutchman.

senate during the bitter slavery debates.
when Seward was wont to deliver his
conciilatory speeches. These gener-
ally called out a vehement and insult
ing reply from the southern members,
which was peculiarly exasperating TO
the senators from the north. One day
an after incident of this kind, in which
TOOmbs had made a vituperative an
swer 10 Seward, Senator Zach Chan
dler said to Senator Simon Cameron:
This Is going too far. Let Us put a
stop TO it. SOme of us should insult
him.
.'All right, replied Cameron. II

As soon a. the Georgian had finish

his arm through his, and said:

his former self. Vehemence came from

he always possessed many kindly

4 lady in Coryville had for some
time been missing her small chickens.
One evening last week she went into
the chicken house. and, noticing a
movement under one of the sills. made
a search. which ended in the discovery
of a snake. about three feet long.which
had probably been hiding there for a
long time. living on young chickens.
It's head was about three inches broad
anu its body averaged four inches.
The species j. the common bull snake
Ii had accumulated flesh on Its sides 10
such an extent that nearly all resem-
blance to its kind was gone. The con-
fined space which 1t occupied kept It
from growing other than sideways. and
it resembles very much section Of

steers nn the Eampage.

An accident containing some funny
features occurred in the big tunnel at
Summit, on he Northwestern road.
Sunday night. As a train loaded with
Montana cattle entered the tunnel
from the north, door to one of the
cars accidentally slid back. Several
fiery steers Immediately jumped out,
and with elevated tails dashed ahead
of the slowly moving locomotive and
soon We're hidden in the dense dark
ness of the tunnel. One steer ran back
and took to the woods. The train was
quickly stopped aud the train men de-
serted their post in a frantic endeavor
to corral the fractions fugitive. Think
ing the animals in the tunnel were sui
iiciently well Gagged. they all started
for the steer in the bushes. After a
lively chase they finally laSsoed this
creature and tethered him to tree
They then returned to the tunnel, and,
procuring a hand car, sailed in after
the other steers. When they had pro-
ceeded in some distance thew were
charged upon by the believing crea-
lures, who mistOOE colOred
lantern on the car for the ha-
ted red rag. The men clambered into
the inches of the walls, and for a time
played the statue act. while the semi
wild animals gored the innocent lam
tern. The steers held the fort for an
hour or So, but the men. urged to ies-
peratiOn through fear that another
train might come bowling into the tun-
mel from the opposite direction at any
moment, finally descended from their
perches. and, after a long struggle in
the darkness. succeeded in capturing
the citadel. The whole train force
worked valiantly for about three hours,
and at the end of that time were able
TO move the train southwark and Gle ar
the road. All the steers were recovered,
the men being so thoughtful even a
to 90 back into the woods and bring
out the beast which had been tethered
there.
