A Ghost In a Mine.
San Francisco Examiner.


GRASS VALLEY, Cal, Dec. 20. lSS7.-The
North Star mine ghost has been investi-
gated. According to some miners
strange noises have been heard in the
depths, but that 10 the case In mines
when not a great deal Of work 10 going
on, as In the holidays. A lonely watcher
In the silent depths hears the timbers
creeping and cracking under pressure Of
the ground, and the sounds strike the
ear heavily. A falling small stone gives
the sound as OF q cannon thot. The
ghostly noises In the North Star are
accounted for 10 that way by the IN
believers.
A report Is In circulation that one has
not only seen, but talked with the IN
derground ghost. The doubters say
that the mans vision was the result Of
too much Christmas cheer, and that the
ghost he saw is close kin TO the snake In
an inebriate's boot. Several assert that
at least three men have seen the ghost
in the mine, and that the apparition is
that Of q diaphanOus man bearing Q
shadowy long knife:ln his right hand.
A relial le gentleman, living near the
North Star mine, says the ghost there 10
q matter Of twelve years standing. The
appearance used to be that OF q man In
miners working clothes and carrying .
lunch-oan. When approached this ghost
would 40 to an old shaft connected with
the North Star underground works and
slowly sink down the shaft. This ghost
never made foot print, even In light
snow. Investigation showed human
bones In the shaft down which the ghost
descended. The remains were buried
and the ghost supposed to be laid.
1t Is now the theory that this latest
ghost is that Of the man who murdered
the owner OF the bones.
No one has been frightened cut OF the
mine and nothing unearthly Is heard or
seen in there when the miners are at
work.

A Strange Fact.

An autopsy upon the remains OF the
late Dan McClusky has revealed the
fact that the unfortunate deputy
sherifi's neck was practically broken at
the time that Constable Stevens pistol
accidently exploded. The As calibre
ball entered at the right side Of the neck
and struck the fifth cervical vertebra
ranged through the sixth and seventh,
and was found imbedded In the first YER
zebra, fracturing and disjointing the
vertebra and severing the spinal cord.
This induced paralysis, and yet for up
ward OF two days, he retained control OF
his mental faculties, contrary to the rule
10 such cases. The subject has been
much cOnversed by the doctors who are
getting considerable experience in brain
work now

A Few Old Mechanics.

From the New York Mail and Express
"Did you ever notice." inquired a
lawyer, shat In nearly every occupa-
ton the capable worker has a nickname
for the botcher who is engaged In the
same business Take my business for
an Illustration. The first-class lawyer is
called an attorney or counsellor. while
the 'ne'er-do-well' Is termed q shyster.
At sea an Incompetent sailor is called q
marine. On land the third-rate actor is
called hamfatter or transformer; the
shiftless newspaper reporter or journal
LIST blacksmith; the cheap stevedOre, a
Jumper; the looking glass prize-fghter, a
beefer.
"All these terms are used In reproach
to make distinction between the good
and the bad worker. local a sailor a
marine Is worse than calling him a muir
derer. You might just as well say be is
clumsy, or Ignorant OF his duty. At sea
when a captain calls one OF the occu-
pants OF the fOrecastle a marine. the I'M
fortunate is made to come on deck and
shoulder q handspike. This is the worst
kind Of punishment In the eyes Of an
able bodied seaman. Tue term ''sojer''
is also used at sea, but not for
incompetency, but to seaman
who tries to shirk his duty.
These terms are recognized In the courts,
too, for 1 recall an instance when a Capt.
Murray, in an angry mood, called law
yer Of San Francisco a sbyster. The
lawyer began action against the captain.
The latter on the stand testified that he
did not call him q shyster, but a shy sir.
1t was clever move on the part Of the
captain, but the court refused to believe
him and he bad to pay"

Louisiana State Convention.

BATON ROUGE, La, Jan. l2.-It was
thought by many politicians last night
that Gov. MoEnery's defeat for the gu
bernatorial nomination WAS so apparent
that his followers would make no effort
for recognition on the state ticket At
the caucus OF the MoEnery delegates
last evening the question was discussed
whether or not the McEnery delegates
would vote on blank, but no conclusion
will be arrived at until after
committee on credentials make their re-
port. Everything 10 working smoothly
and the Indications are that today when
that committee reports and permanent
organization is effected, the nomination
OF Gen. Nichols for governor will be
made In short order and recess taken
to enable the dominant faction to go
into caucus and complete the state
ticket.

THOSE TOOTHPICKS."
Why Not Remove Them Off Main

Editor LIGHT:
How Is it possible the citizens on Com.
meTce and other streets tolerate that
those telegraph poles or "tOothpicks, -
as q medical gentlemen calls them. lay
any longer close TO the sidewalks. They
are a regular nuisance and perhaps were
laid purposely for some horse, man or
child to break their neok-, judging from
the front OF drug stores being ornamented
with their presence. On West Com
merce street such pole is lying in the
middle Of the sidewalk and ObstructinR
the same to pedestrians. Doctors and
druggists would perhaps not mind il II
the poles be laid little more conven-
lent, or rather crOss-ways, so as to serve
as mar traps, and those who have horses
TO hitch to the sidewalks are about as
much annoyed by these poles as by po-
liceman II the poles obstruct the party
from hitching bis horse up.

II is for the interest OF every farmer to
save In every direction that he can in the
strength OF his animals az well as In the
harvesting OF his crops. In the use OF wa.
gons for the transportation Of heavy loads,
especially il the soil is very soft, it is very
noticeable to what extent o narrow tired
wheel will cnt into the soil, with an effect
upon the draft very similar to blocking the
wheel. II any farmer has doubts regard
ing this effect let him try to push loaded
wheelbarrow with narrow tire upon good
furrow soil, and then suddenly change to
one that is soft and yielding The effect
is very marked, and is the same in great
er degree in case Of loaded teams In eth
er case the effect can DO remedied by q
change to wide tired wheels. Such q
change is not only Of advantage to the an
finals hauling the load, but also to the
road or field over which the load is to be
hauled. All the roads would be very
much less rutted II wide tired wheels we're
required in all cases OF heavy loading and
upon the farm how much better to use q
