City and Country.

The city person, it is well known, is
often as much a ''greenhorn" in the
country as the country person is in the
city. A girl who had been accustomed
to certain city squares and exclusive
parks, whose high barred gates were
closed at a fixed hour every night, made
her first visit to the country. She was
being taken about through the lanes and
fields by her mother when the sun set
Say, mamma" said the little girl,
haven't we got to go in? What time
do they close the country, anyway
1t was a city boy, too, who, when
taken with him by his country cousin
while he dug some potatoes, watched the
process of unearthing the tubers for a
moment with great wonder and then re-
marked:
SIS that where you keep your potatoes?
should think it would be more con-
venient to keep them in barrels, the way
we do
The country greenhorn" in the city
has this advantage over the ''city green
horn" in the country, that he does not
put on airs of superiority ON all occa-
sions. 1t was city boy in the country
who, being taken to peach tree full of
ripe and delicious fruit, and invited to
help himself, remarked somewhat loftily:
mo, thank you. 1 never eat them
until they are cannedr'-Youth's Com
panion.

For month or more men living ON Nc
Clouds cattle ranch, near the mouth of
Battle creek, have been startled from their
sleep at night by footsteps threading the
halls and passageways of the house, doors
opening and shutting, and an occasional
laugh of the demoniacal, hair raising,
blood chilling variety. All these ghostiy
demonstrations had been looked upon by
the inmates of the house as the workings
of some practical joker, or Imagination,
and very little attention was paid to them
until about week ago, when one of the
men, about 10 or IL o'clock at night,
stepped out of doors. What he saw there
almost froze his blood.
Standing in the middle of the yard was
a familiar figure, that of former lady res
ident of the house, clothed in the habili-
ments of the grave. A dull, phosphores-
cent light seemed to be emitted from the
shrouded figure, whose back was turned
toward the man. Slowly the figure turned,
and, with arms extended, it's staring eyes
shining with dull luster, it commenced a
movement toward the man, who stood
speilbonnd. For second only did he
stand transfixed, then with yell of terror
he dashed in upon his comrades within the
house. He told his story to the crowd,
and a rush was made for the yard to in
vestigate, but the specter had fled That
night the footsteps and noises throughout
the house were more frequent and louder
banishing sleep from the eyes of the now
thoroughly frightened inmates. The next
night watch was kept for the ghostly Wis
itor, but it came not.
The next night followed, and still no
ghost, so the watchers had about given up
all hope of its temperance, when on the
fourth night, while sitting in a dark
ened room, they were startled by sudden
ly seeing the specter's face pressed against
the window pane. Each man seized his
gun and a volley was fired at the visage
When the smoke had cleared away and the
mems courage had in a measure returned
they ventured outside, expecting to find a
corpse lying beneath the window.
They did not, but instead saw standing
about thirty PAGES from the house the fig
ure of a woman looking at them reproach-
fully, and seeming to have just arisen from
the grave. For a moment the men stood
breathlessly looking at the strange sight,
when one of the boldest raised his gun to
his shoulder, took deliberate aim at the
figure and pulled the trigger The figure
was still there when the smoke cleared
away, and looking at them for a moment
with its staring eyes gradually disappeared.
Next morning there was an emigration
from the ranch, not even the boldest dar-
ing to remain; and now daylight only finds
curious people about the place.-Chamber-

The sexton,s Rright Idea.

The sexton of one of our city churches
has recently invented and perfected a
novel and, as he doubtless imagines, a
strikingly effective piece OF business"
The interior of the edifice is always
bathed in dim religious dusk until the
time for the collection. Then as the
rector delivers with deliberate sonorous-
ness the words, ''L-e-t your-r light so
shine before men," the jealous func-
tionary throws the throttle wide open
and dazzles the congregation with the
combined refulgence of thousand gas
lights, producing an effect similar to the
thrilling moment when the man in the
top gallery of Bowery theatre ''turns

Seek pardon for a fault had not known,

BY every tender word and fond caress
Which filled our lives with such sweet hap

The Godlike peace, the sweetness of forgiv-

humiiated in the United States District

LONDON, April 1.-THE riotous conduct
yesterday of the striking weaYers at Brad

the Town Hall square. There is great ex-
element in the town. The police have as
yet refrained from Interference with the
strikers. but the troops In the barracks are
under arms. Several arrests have been
made. The proprletorS of the mills say the
weavers are perfectly willing to return to

rioters. The military police and special
constables charged and dispersed the mob.
Many persons were injured.
The rioters again gathered in Sunbride
street at 10 o'clock tonight. The police
attempted to dislodge the men, but their
efforts proved futile. Finally the police
made flank movement, and by this means
succeeded in making the men retreat, but
not without fierce struggle, during which
all the windows in the buildings on Sun
bride street were smashed by the shower of
missiles with which the strikers sought 10
