KEY EAsT's GHOST "A dispatch from As
bury Park, N. j., says: "The identity of
the Key East ghost that has been disturbing
this vicinity for the past two years has at
last been ascertained. 1t proves to be Miss
Phoebe Van Dewater. who is at present re-
siding with her uncle, Mr. Lee, at Key East.
During the pact two years people travelling
on the road from Key East to Asbury Park
have from time to time seen an object clad
in white on fsnce, staring at chem. Last
Friday night, as party of young men were
vending their way homeward, they beheld
the object and became so frightened that
hey ct once took to their heels. Soon they
halted and hurriedly agreed to return and
ascertain the cause of their fright but when
within few feet of the object it advanced
toward them aud they again fad Another
party returning on the same road were met
by the ghost and being negroes they scat
tered into the woods and hid themselves
Ga one occasion Miss Van Dewater arose
from her slumbers, clad in her night robes,
and walked TO the barn, which is some dis
tance from the house, c.awied up in the hay
NOV and finally climbed upon the roof She
descended safely af,er nwhie and returned
home. When spoken to about the occur
yence she said she had no recollection of her
-omuanbulstic stroll and she asked her re-
latives to shackle her in bed to force her to
discontinue them."

the store, explained the erraDd he had been

views about the interference with hi9 inuc-
cent amusement. As soon as the womsn's
deliverer loosened his hold on the two horns
the animal rose majesticslly on his hind legs
and prepared for charge. Io his own de.
fense Mr. Clay now took the animal as be-
fore by the horns and thus for time they
stood, while crowd of street boys gathered
about immensely amused at the unusual
spectacle of a Senator and goat pitted one
against the other in public street. AS
long as Mr. Clay held the goat by the horns
all was we'll but the moment the quadru-
ped was free, came fresh preparation for
charge Not boy otfared assistance, but
after while one ventured TO make sng
gestion.
Throw the billy down, SIR"
Mr. Clay at once accepted and adopted
the report of that committee, and tipping
the goat up essayed to pass on. Before be
could fairly turn away, however, the goat
was up 10 lofty preparation for a now
charge Mr.. Clay gave his enemy the floor
once more and turned TO his new adviser.
What shall do now?"
"Cut and run like the devil" replied the
lad.
