Confederate Prisoners on Their Travels.
We were to be sent to Johnson's Island,
Lake Erie.
Our route lay over the Erie railroad, and
we made the "trip on parole The guards
aPllaeedgt each door Of our coach were for
our comfort only, as we were objects Of
marked curiosity during the trip, and
would have been Overrun with visitors had
not admittance been refused. At the diff
ferent stations we mingled freely with the
people on the platform, and found them,
with few exceptions, courteous but in
quisitive.
We were no doubt a disappointing lot
There was nothing in our apparel to mark
the rebel soldier, and as we mingled with
the crowd surprise was freely expressed
that we were not as their fancy painted us,
though just what shape that fancy took
never learned The ladies, AS was the case
both north and south, were intensely pa
triotic, and read US severe and no doubt
salutary lectures on the evil of our ways
which were submissiyely and cautiously
received and duly pondered

safely wager would be asked by five out Of

you are right" This conundrum was Of |

Lighting the streets of a large city il
olden times was far different thing from
lighting the streets at the present time
In 1861 the streets Of London were directeC
to be lighted with candles or lanterns by
every householder fronting the main road
from nightfall to o'clock, the hour of ne
firing to bed.
In the last year Of King Charles IPs
reign one Edward Hening obtained the
right to light the streets with lanterns
placed over every tenth door. from 6 O'Clock
on mOonless evenings until midnight be-
tween October and April.
During the reign Of Queen Anne, in July.
i50S, Mr.. Michael Coke introduced globular
glass lamps with oil burners, instead Of the
former glimmeriug lanterns In 17l6 an
act was passed which enjoined every house
holder to furnish light before his door

Theyear which has just closed viii be
memorable in the annals of the Church
Of Rome for the loss of Newman and
Won Dollinger; in those of the Church
Of England for the loss of Lightfoot,
Liddon, Hatch, Littledale, Oakley, Henry
White, Canon Cure and of the dean of
st. PauFs. The deanery Of st. Paul's
has been held by many greater men than
Dr.. Church, but never by one Of more
stainless and beautiful life, ripper culture,
more untiring devotion, completer self
forgetfulness. The story Of his life
would be little more, however, than the
story Of his friendships with most Of the
brightest and most fruitful minds of his
generation.
He was a severe judge Of himself, and
shTank from anything like Leadership"
even from that Of the London head.
His affection for Newman was unbound
ed and reciprocal. It was in the quaint
old house under st. Paul's that Newman
played on his favorite cello for the last
time and put it away forever. He pre-
sented it to the daughter of his host at
the time.-London World.

David Hoover, of this place, came in
nom the hills Saturday with fine doe
which be had the good fortune to run to
water. When the snow is deep a deer
pursued by dogs viii invariably make
for the water. Wading in where it is
the deepest. the trembling animal will
stand and wait for its canine enemies.
It is cute enough to know that it has the
advantage OF the dogs while in the water.
The dog having short legs must swim,
and the deer by striking with its feet
can defend itself much better than on
land. The hunters. knowing this pecul-
iarity, station themselves near the water.
and the terrified deer, thinking only Of
the dogs, become an easy prey. Last
week some hunters from Du Bots shot
five deer in this way, and the fact that
every one Of them was hit between the
eyes shows that the hunters were in easy
range and had things very much their
own way. -Punxsutawney pa Spirit.

A remarkable case occurred in the snow

near Spalding She was put to bed, aud
then stated that she had slept out for hve
weeks continuously, including, within the
last few days, the severest weather Of the
year, when the snow covered the ground
to the depth Of nearly foot The poor
woman's hair was in such a matted state
that it had to be all cut off. She stated
that she had tramped from Lancashire,
where she had formerly been in domestic
service, and at the time she was found in
the snow she appeared 20 have lost her

most remarkable that the woman survived

A. sHoTPRooF GHOST.

Foileys from Many Guns Have No Erect
on a spOok in Woman's shape.
For month or more men living on Mo
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 aud shutting, and an occasional
laugh Of the demoniacal, hair raising,
blood chilling variety All these ghosfiy
| 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 a week ago, when one Of the
men, about 10 or II 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 a 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, its staring eyes
shining with dull lnster, il commenced a
movement toward the man, who stood
spellbound. For a second only did he
stand transhxed, 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
gestigate, but the specter bad fed 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 a 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 speeter'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 anthem reproach
Iully, and seeming to have just arisen from
lhe grave. For moment the men stood
looking at the strange sight,
when one Of the bOldest raised his gun to
his shoulder, took deliberate aim at the
igure and pulled the trigger The figure
