COLLINS AND GHOSTS.
Lieut.. Brennan's Experience ON a
Hoodooed Road.

Bt'inGrck Special to 81. Louis Globe Democrat
Along the western bank Of the Missouri
river, on the road leading between the
military posts of Fort Abraham Lincoln
and Fort Yates, is a phantom which ap-
pears to certain travellers whenever they
make the trip over what they are pleased
10 call the "h0odoOed road" The route
Is one OF long standing, having been estab-
hshed by the Indians long before the
whites invaded the country, and now it
Is an important road for travel.
The phantom which has appeared to
several prominent citizens was last seen
by Lieut.. Brennan, of Fort Yates. He
was en- route from Yates TO this city, and
while driving along at a point near the
cannon Ball Station he saw a man
coming behind him on horseback. At
nrst he paid little attention to the object.
Inc moon was shining brightly, and there
was no reason for him to be mistaken in
what he saw. After travelling about a
mile with the horseman Keeping about
quarter OF mile behind him, he stopped
70 await the arrival OF the stranger that
ne might ascertain who IL was that fol-
lowed him, and break the monotonv Of
MS trip with the conversation Of a travel
ing Companion. Upon looking back he
discovered that the horseman was dressed
IN pure white uniform and was riding
Aspotless white horse.
Inc elegant style, the graceful motion
vi the horse and the noiseless step with
winch the animal was galloping down tho
ROAD, aroused the Lieutenants curiosity,
uhd he waited and listened several min
utes Tor the arrival of the stranger. His
suspicion that everything was not right
was awakened when the horseman failed
70 answer his call. several times he
oaIied, put no answer came from the
,mnlte-robed equestrian, and having given
.le silent traveller ample time to overtake
Nun, be drove on. What first occasioned
alarm In the Lieutenanfs mind was the
iact mat while the strange white horse
Svntlnued in a galloping motion after he
ksae Lleutenant) stopped, the distance
OetWeen them was not shortened.

The Perpetual Candidate.

Judge David Key, of Tennessee, who
was President HAYES Postmaster-Gen-
eral, after he had served short term in
the senate, told a good story of a man ir
the mountain region of his state, who
was stereotype candidate for local of,
fees of al descriptions, but who woulc
never give a decided opinion upon any
question. On one occasion when he was
a candidate for the position of sheriff
there was great excitement on the en-
forcement of the school tax He ad,
dressed quite gathering at muster,
but eyaded the only question that the
audience wanted to hear about, and Just
as he was closing fellow shouted
'sTell.us about the school tax. Are you
for it, or are you not?' The crowd
cheercd, and the orator, thus pressed
for adeclaration of opinion said: 'sGen.
tlemen, you have right to ask for ar
answer. l have no concealment tt
make. / am frank man, and to you :.
say in all frankness, if it is good thing

quantities Of the hardest stones into fine
dust. Icebergs also act in the same
way and almost to. the same extent.
Plants contribute to the formation of
dust by their power of disintegration.
All plants require more or less silica in
their composition, and when the sub
stance of the plant is again resolved in
to its original constituents the result is
silica in the dust. The vegetable acids
OF plants have also a solvent power on
stone of any kind, so that if one spray of
moss or lichen can by any means grow
on a surface of bare granite, where not
trace Of earth appears, it will soon pre-
pare the soil for others of the same kind,
and no long time will elapse ere the
solid rock is covered with living man
tie of moss. Other plants, and finally
trees, worms, beetles, and burrowing
animals contribute their share to pull
verize the earth and reduce it all to dust,
bringing to the surface portions of soil
that never before saw the light, and leav-
ing the sun, air and rain, to do their
work in the manufacture of the world s
dust.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Late King of Spain.

He is clever enough to have been the
inventor of gunpowder, but as he was
somewhat too late in the world history
for this, he takes a great interest in the
method Of using it. He has passion
for the science of war. Every work
upon this subject which appears in any
part of Europe he caused to be trans
lated into Spanish. On his writing
table lies pamphlet on the reorganiza-
ton of the army which would do honor
to the most experienced military expert.
His admiration for the German army is
unbounded, and one of his ambitious
dreams has been to command Prussian
division under fire. His title Of colonel
in the uhlans, the right to wear uni
form in the German regiment, assuredly
is for him a source of pleasure, but not,
as is so generally believed, because Of
any hatred toward France. On the con-
trary, Alfonso XII. loves that country.
and he has for Berlin, as compared with
Paris, the same low opinion as he has
for French compared with Prussian
regiment. He knows by heart the whole
of the Spanish army ist-colonels, ma
iors, officers Of every gradeI believe
he could call them all by their names.
Besides his taste for military matters the
king excells as a sportsman. He is a
good shot, anda keen rider, and skillful
fencer. At the Casa di Campo he de-
lights in the pastime of pigeon-shooting.
and bets heavily upon the results. He
spends much Of his time in the billiard
room, takig lessons from certain duke
who, it is said, receives $4,000 francs q
year for beating the king at this game
three times a week. Alfonso possesses
considerable conversational powers, but
the activity Of his mind is such that he
gives little time to listen to his COM
panion. When the latter starts an idea
he hastens to interrupt ], and finishes
the phrase and sentiment in his own
way. It is a kings prerogatiyeto make
use of his subjects brains; Although
his mothers son, he does not remind
one of her by his personal appearance.
he is thin as well as short. His eyes,
however, resembles hers, except that
they lack the peculiarly penetrating
glance characteristic of the ex-queen.-

GEMS OF THOUGHT. .

Six things are requisite to create q
happy home. Integrity must be the
architect and tidiness the npholsterer.
Unjust be warmed by affection, lighted
up with cheerfulness, and industry must
be the yentilator, renewing the atmo-
sphere and bringing in fresh salubrity
day by day; while over all, as a protect
ing canopy and glory, nothing will suf-
fee except the blessing of Gcd. Hanal-
ton.
There are some persons who never
succeed, from being too INDECENT to at
tempt anything; and others who regu-
larly fail, because the instant they find
success in their power they grow ind1if-
ferent and give over the attempt. -Haz-
15tt.
A man who is not ashamed of himself
need not be ashamed of his early con-
dition. ~ Webster.
A dull man is SO near dead man that
he is hardly to be ranked in the list of
the living; and as he is not to be buried
whilst he is half alive, so he is as little
to be employed whilst he is half dead.
-Sduizle.
If a man empties his purse into his
head, no man can take it away from him.
An investment in knowledge always pays
the best interest," Franklin.
The man who is suspicious lives in a
constant state of unhappiness. HWould
be better for his peace of mind to be too
trustful than too guarded. Mason.
To be fattered is grateful, even when
we know that our praises are not be-
ieved by those who pronounce them;
for they prove at least our power, and
show that our favor is valued, since tits
purchased by the meanness Of falsehood.
Johnson.
Among well-bred people mutual def
erence is affected; contempt of others
disguised; authority concealed; attention
given to each in his turn, and an easy
stream of conversation maintained, with
out vehemence, without interruption,
without eagerness for victory and with
out any airs Of superiority. Hume.
People have custom of excusing the
enormities of their conduct by talking
Of their passions, as if they were under
the control of blind necessity, and
sinned because they could not help it.
Cumberland.
There is little pleasure in the world
that is true and sincere beside the pleas
ure of doing our duty and doing good.
| am sure no other is comparable to this.

The Forest Of Fontainebleau.

The forest,Df Fontaine bleau-ce lebrat-.
ed for its wonderful views and magnaa
fcent old trees is threatened with a
devastation, which, while slow, is none
the less certain and irremediable. Little,
by little its century, old oaks and
beeches are being cut down to be con-
verified into planks and corewood, while
here and there quarries have been open
ed in the picturesque ravines to convert
the moss covered granite rocks, the de-
light OF generations of artists, into
paving stones. For many wears there
has existed sort of tacit understanding
between the artist colony in and around
Fontainebleau and those in charge Of
the forest that certain portions Of the
forest should be kept sacred from the
woodlands AZ, but every year the artists
had occasion! to complain that this or
that picturesque nook had been spoiled.
and just now they are highly indignant
over the fact that Bas-Breau, one Of their
favorite sketching- grounds. and among
the widest corners Of the forest, has
been melted out for destruction. They
are preparing to present 4 petition to
the minister Of the interior on the sub
ject. and maybe this step will result in.
putting an end to the destruction which.
has already done sd much damage. It
is not only artists who are interested in
this matter, the inhabitants of the many
villages scattered through the forest are
interested, fora large portion Of their.
income is derived from tourists who are
attracted to the neighborhood BY its
fame and beauty. # the latter is de-
Istroyed the former will not be long in

A Wooden-Legged Mans Joke.

"a WOOQeQ-LeggeQ Mans JOKE.
Speaking of wooden legs, there is an
old soldier employed in the government
Office in this city who has had some ex-
perience with an artificial limb, his meat
one having been taken off at the knee.
Among the most amusing was one with
sleeping-car porter. This pampered
railway tyrant rarely earns his quarter
all round by his pretense of backing
shoes and Tipping dust from his victim
back, but it is the habit of this wooden
legged man to utilize the darby in taking
off that leg and making him earn bis
hire. On one train he struck an uppish
sort of a porter--a brother to the insult
ferable swell who sings out, ..Last call
for dinnah in the dining cah!'' That
darby stood around with languid dig
nifty that would make street-corner
dude sick at heart.
The man with the wooden leg made
up his mind he would wake that niger
up" before he Clipped in his quarter.
He told couple of men in the car his
purpose, and they joined in with him.
He wears his shoe firmly fastened to the
wooden leg, having no need to remove
it, and having fallen once from loose
shoe. After his berth had been made
up, he went to the dressing-room and
unstrapped his leg, keeping hold of the
strap, and then got to his berth. Then
he called the porter. ''I've got rheum-
atism and can't bend over,' he said,
'.and ] wish you'd pull off that shoe.''
The porter united the shoe and tried to
pull it off, but it wouldn't come. "Pull
hard, = said the passenger. The darky
gave it another pull ..Oh, brace against
the berth and pull" said the passenger.
The porter had blood in his eye. He
put his foot sgainst the berth, and pulled
like dentist. The passenger let go the
strap, and the darby fell back with the
shoe and the leg. .'My God! you've
pulled off my legr' shrieked the pas
senger. The porter dropped it, and
with his eyes bullying and his teeth chat
tering, he broke from the car. He con-
c6aled himself in corner of the baggage
| car, and pretty soon the two other con-
spirators came in, pretended they didn' t
know where he was, sat down on a
trunk and talked over the awful con-
dition of the man whose leg had been
pulled off, and about the penalty the
darky would have to suffer if he should
be caught. The porter was of no SER
vice to anybody that night, even after
they explained the joke to him.-Mil-
eU0akee Sentinel.

tastes, she is broadly and elegantly
accomplished. This lady is much
admired by Queen Victoria, who
enjoys and is entertained by the thorough
musical culture she displays.
Lady Churchill performing equally we'll
upon the violin, piano, guitar, banjo,
and mandolin. While this lady is noted
in Europe for her brilliant gifts, she also
typifies the highest quality of American
women in her characteristics, being res
dilute to act, dauntless and brave in emer-
gency,
AS regards personal attributes, tender
and devoted in attachment. While in
the way of intellectual attainments and
the cultured requirements of polite life,
they are equal to the broadcast educated
and the most accomplished women in
the world. With all this, the true and
well reared American woman has the
gentleness, the courtesy, which is not
inseparable from the frmness, the decis-
ion OF character, which the stirring
events of life so often require.
If the testimony Of her friends be cor
rect, and Lady ChurchilPs life seems to
verify this testimony, she has both de-
ciSion, resolution, and the softer and
more endearing Qualities of tenderness
and affection. She was the constant
companion of her father, Mr.. Leonard
Jerome, between whom and his beautiful
daughter there exists the most devoted
attachment. AS the wife of prominent
English politician, she has heartily
shared his plans and greatly aided his
expectations.
The LADIES JOURNAL likes to think
of the position American womanhood
has gained to-day. In the past, the Spar
tan women shared in politics and devo-
ted their interests and attainments to the
reputation and good of the country. But
what women they were fanatics for the
public good, putting down all natural
affection. Bidding those they love 60
forth to battle, returning wttA their
shield or upon it. Women of to-day put
forth also their ablest thoughts for those
they love- Wisely regarding and weigh
ing public acts with that reference, seek
ing not death Tor those they love, but a
noble living. So, we cannot but think
that this is the time when woman is liv-
ing broader and nobler than ever before.
