HAUNTED BY CAPT. KIDD.
A Maine Schooner the Victim of
the Pirate Captains Ghost.


the Pirate Captains Ghost.
Portland Express.
The loss of the Thomaston schooner
George B. Mcfarland. abandoned and
burned at sea, has recalled to the mind
of an old sailor here the peculiar history
of her career since 1869. For some years
it has been nearly impossible to ship
Maine crew. The vessel had from
the very day she was launched the
name of being unlucky. She was built
upon honor, and better workmanship
was never put into vessel. Before she
was launched a Portland medium
claimed to have received commune
cation from the spirit world to the
effect that vessel about to be
launched from ThOmastOn would be
sailed by the restless spirit of the
pirate Kidd, and added that no vessel
sailed by Capt. Kidd would be other
wise than unlucky. When in process
of launching the schooner stuck fast on
the ways, and had to be sent into the
dry dock for repairs before she could be
that time onward it was found
utterly impossible to make her
watertight. Even in the calm
est weather the men were compelled to
stay at the pumps. Whether she was
fatally strained in launching will never
be known. Her first commander was
Capt. LittletOn Strong, who, after two
or three voyages, gave her up as hope
lessly unlucky. He could do nothing
in her. and since leaving he has
never made an unsuccessful voyage.
Her second and last commander was A.
G. Strong. Had Capt. Kid been in per
sOnal charge. the vessel could not have
been more unlucky than she was. Trip
after trip was made at almost a dead
loss through the unaccOuntable conduct
of the schooner. She seemed to have a
marvellous faculty Of sailing into the
damaged and shaken, but never going
down. AT last, dismasted and broken,
she was abandoned by Capt. Strong
and his crew in midocean. They were
taken ON board a European bound
vessel. Left alone on board, Capt.
Kidd apparently concluded to navigate
a while longer. The schooner was
finally picked up, carried into Euro
pean port and returned to Capt. Strong,
who refitted her and went to sea. Two
days out from Europe, when the
schooner was becalmed, she was struck
by a sudden squall, and Capt. Strong,
passing along the deck. caught his foot
in rope, fell and broke his leg. She
was refitted after her return to Maine
and Capt. Strong made last trip in her
and, as has alread been reported, was
wrecked.
The George B. Mcfarland was found
drifting by the steamer OrinocO, bound
from Bermuda to New York, and was
burned as being dangerous to naviga-
ton. The question now is, what We S.
sci did the spirit of Capt. Kidd transfer
himself to?

A Musical Gator.

A saurian about four feet long. cap
tured in the streets of Eustis, Fla, by
Dan Warner, baker, exhibits remark
able genius. He will. after the bread
has been taken from the pans in the
bakeshop, take the utensils and pile
them in the corner as neatly as boy
could do it. The first trick he learned
was to stand on his tail and hind feet.
1t is pathetic to see him as he assumes
the position and crosses his fore feet
over his breast, awaiting the loaf which
is given him as reward for his skill.
He is very fond of cider, and it was
found necessary to remove the barrel,
as he learned to turn the faucet and get
a drink. but left the fluid running. The
music of band pleases him hugely,
and he will be in front of the band room
every practice night until the last note
ceases.

A Costly Petticoat.

There are two events, apart from the
exposition, about which all Paris is Cos
siping. Even the thousands of visitors
know of and are interested in one of
these, which promises to be more than a
nine days wonder. This is the pur-
chase OF petticoat, bona fide petit
coat, which was an indeScribable COM
bination of silk, flowers and lace, and
for which was paid the fabulous sum of
$4,000 francs. Rumor has it that it was
purchased by an American Cresus.
and Frenchmen are congratulating
themselves that their country
women. however eccentric, never
tempted them to commit such piece of
extravaganza. The CrGSus may have
some trouble with the customs on his
arrivals in America, as the flowers and
lace are put on this now celebrated
petticoat in such profusion that a sus-
picion of smuggling may involuntarily
find room in the mind of the matter-of-
fact officer. But the purchaser will no
doubt be able to prove his honesty of
purpose in importing the article. This
petticoat, which actually sold for the
sum named above.is but an exaggerated
example of those now worn by women
of wealth and fashion.

A MODEL FARM
In Northern Minnesota, as Viewed
by the Editor of the Polk Jour.

by the Editor of the Polk Jour.
nal.
Saturday last, in company with Hon.
ii. STEVENSON, it was our pleasure to
visit the farm of Edward Lanctot,
located on the banks of the Red Lake
river, about two miles from GENTLY
and six from CroOkston. Mr.. Lanctot
came to this county in 1878, and located
his farm (Or-a portion of it, having
the spring of 1880 brought his family.
Having but small means, he was obliged
to go slow, and earn the needed i'm
provements as fast as possible. His
experience shows what can be
done here. With a large fam
lily to provide for, he has sue
cOeded in keeping them comfortably
and at the same time developing one of
the finest farms in the county. He has
a comfortable and neat farm house, with
a cellar underneath, which is a model.
The walls are of stone, laid in cement,
three feet thick. The cellar is as cool
as cold storage room, and kept scrupu-
lousy neat and sweet. His stock barns
and granaries, though not as large as
unlimited capital could make them. are
models in their way, showing what
every farmer of limited means can
do. His colts are all grade
English Shire, sired by JO-
seph La Franchises king TOm,"
and they are beauties and no mistake.
He has Just commenced to raise Hol-
stein Friesian cattle, having purchased
last year a thoroughbred bull of E. M.
Walsh, and to-day he has as handsome
a lot of grades as can be found any
where. Right here we want to give
pointer. After we had looked the cat
tie over we saw in all adjoining lot
corn. Speaking of it to Mr.. L., he took
us over and showed us as handsome a
FIELD OF CORN,
about shoulder-high. as we ever saw.
"Lhis," said he, 81 intend for my cows
when the pasture becomes poor; what
they don't eat this fall shall cure for
the winter feed of my mich cows" His
hog pen is building by itself, one and
one-half stories high, with a basement
where in summer time the hogs can
enjoy a roll in the dust. The first floor
contains the pens and feed bins, con-
veniently arranged at small cost. A
large yard gives opportunity for
the hogs to get to grass and
water. The house is surrounded by
trees from three to five years old which
range from twelve to twenty feet high,
making excellent winter protection. In
his garden we noticed a fine, thrifty
growth of radish, beets, onions, carrots,
turnips, cabbage, tomatoes in bloom, a
row of currant bushes hanging full of
the ripe LUSCIOUS fruit, and, something
we have not seen before in Polk county,
-, -,
thrifty. Mr.. Lanctot has divided his
prairie lands into forty-acre fields,
fencing as fast as he is able to buy the
wire, and intends to alternate between
pasture, meadow and grain fields, so as
TO keen his lands I'D to full strength.
