Some BuEsestiOus Concerning the Strike.

BOTno HuHHc8th0u1 OOnCSEuhuH VIC pbhAAOs
One Of the most interesting and important
questions in ethics, II not in law, suggested
by the strike on the New York Central and
Hudson River Railroad, relates to the right
OF outsiders to interfere and be heard as
representatives Of the strikers.
II O farmer had ten farm laborerS at work
for him and should discharge two OF them
for reasons which he deemed sufficient the
eight others might lawfully, II they believed
the dismissal unjust, refuse TO serve the
farmer any longer, and leave his employ.
But when he endeavored to engage others
In their places, would he be bound to hear
some stranger who came to show him that
the eight men had good cause to throw up
their work, and who desired to negotiate
with him as to tho terms upon which the
eight men might return to his service2
It seems to US probable that almost any
farmer thus situated would resent the inter-
yention Of the stranger, and would not reoog-
nizo the fact that tho outsider belonged to
some association OF which his employees were
also members, as sufficient excuse for the
proposed interference with affairs in which
the stranger had no personal concern.
We do not see how the right Of railway
servants to leave the employment OF the
corporation on account Of any grievances
which they deom sufficient can successfully
be questioned. Nor can We see any reason
Why they may not properly ask their fellow
servants, who have not suffered any per-
sonal wrong, to leave with them. In order to
help them thus to redress their grievances;

indulged In, and tho mon are left at liberty
to act according to their own free will. But
1t Is difficult to see any ground upon which
o person who stands In no business relation
to tho employer or tho employed can insist
upon participating In the controversy.

A HeatilesS Ghost.

The negroes living on Craig's Branch,
just south of Tallahassee, Fla, says The
Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, are very
much exercised over the appearance of
ghost in that Eeighborhood. 1t is de-
scribed as a tall, headless man, dressed
in flowing white robes, and has been
seen by several of the negroes walking
alongside the branch, as though in
search of some lost object. evidently his
head.
An aged negro man, who has lived
there many years, says that about sixty
years ago beautiful young lady, daugh-
ter Of a wealthy citizen of Tallahassee
went out one bright Sabbath, aecompa-
MED by her Newfoundland dog, for a
walk to Craig's Branch, plucking wild
flowers along the wayside. just before

The Alligators, Nest.

Alligators' nests resemble hay cocks
more than anything else to which they
can be compared. They average about
four feet in height and about five feet in
diameter and are constructed of grasses
and herbage. First the mother gator
deposits one layer of eggs on floor of
mortar, and having covered this with a
stratum of mud and herbage about eight
inches thick, lays another set of eggs
upon that, and so on to the top, there
being commonly from 100 to 200 eggs in
nest. With their tails they then beat
down the tall grass and weeds, to pre-
vent the approach of unseen enemies.
The female watches her eggs until they
are hatched by the heat of the sun, and
then takes ler brood under her own
care, defending them and providing for
their subsistence. DIR. Lutzemburg, of
New Orleans, once packed one of these
nests for shipment to st. Petersburg, but
they Matched out before they we're start
ed on the long voyage, and were kept
about the doctors premises, running all
over the house, up and down stairs,

A Wonfiarfnl Lily.

One sometimes hears of the wonderful
productivenesso of the golden lily-Lilium
Auratum, Lndley. Some years ago an
instance was recorded of one stalk, un-
der cultivation, bearing no less than
thirty-fve flowers. This happened at
Pitlour, in Fifeshire, Scotland, in 1886.
The record is quite beaten by plant in
the garden of a foreign resi- mt at Ka-
ruizawa, which is now bearing no fewer
than fifty-seven flowers on one stalk.
The stalk itself is six feet high, and
toward the upper end it hattens out, the
buds hanging like keys on board. The
upper extremity is cleft. Room is thus al
lowed for the remarkable luxuriance of
Towering just described. In The Far
East of Sept. 16, 1872, it is stated: This
summer there grew in the garden of Mr..
G. G. Pearson, on the Bluff (No. 11D,

The First Lightning Rod.

Everybody believes that Franklin was
the inventor and constructor of the first
lightning rod. In this one particular
everybody is mistaken. The first light
ming catcher was not invented by the
great philosopher, but by poor monk of
Seuttenberg, Bohemia, who put up the
first lightning rod on the palace Of the
curator of Preditz, Moravia, June 10,
1854. The name of the inventive monk
was Prohop Dilwisch. Theapparatus was
composed of pole surmounted by an
iron rod, supporting twelve curved
branches and terminating in as many
metallic boxes filled with iron ore and
inclosed by a wooden box-like cover,
traversed by twenty-seven iron pointed
rods, the bases of which found resting
place in the ore box. The entire system
of wires was united 10 the earth by a
large chain. The enemies OF Dilwisch,
jealous of his success, excited peasants
of the locality against him, and, under
the pretext that his lightning rod was
the cause of the excessive dry weather,
had the rod taken down and the inventor
imprisoned. Years afterwards NJ. Mel
sen used the multiple pointed rod as an
invention of his own,-St, Louis Re-

Collapse of FaIstan-s stomach.

This is the way Hackett, the most

joke played on him in an Edinburgh
theatre. On this particular occasion, in
one of his great scenes, Hackett found

a stuffed stomach" in hot weather was
terrific burden to an actor, and at last
some costumer invented one which fitted
the dress to perfection, but was filled
with air. The wearer blew it up, screw

One of Hackett's enemies this evening
had pricked hole in his false abdomen,
not large enough to make it collapse all
at once, but by degrees, and Hackett
found at the end of one scene that he
was not quite as stout as he was before,
and said to his dressing man: '"This is
not all right; feel a looseness; see if
this screw is not unfastened." Every
thing was apparently in order, and he
went on again. He continued to decrease
in size, till at last there came a rush of
wind and the stomach disappeared alto
