EVERY ocean traveller knows how
the lower part OF even 'gilded floating
palaces" are. SO defective rs ventila-
ton OF all ocean carriers that even the
most expensive docks are vile in at
mosphere before u passage is half
over il stormy weather makes il ne
cessary to close port holes. Air that
is unfit to breathe on the saloon deck
is necessarily disease breeding in the
steerage. All sanitary laws on the
great ships are neglected more or less;
but most of all In the caverns where
hundreds OF human beings are packed
with neither water enough for clean
Illness nor seclusion for decency. If
filthy bodies were the only evil thus
engendered complaint might be mod
Grated. The fact is that moral vice
is rendered inevitable in these heated
and indecent hulks and that evils are
thus caused which are not SO easily
repaired as bodily filth.

ling Experience.

Last Thanksgiving day q Cincinnati
paper published the strange story OF
the Jim Guthrie ghost, near Danville,
Ky.
Guthrie had killed prominent citi.
zen named McNeal, and it was stated
that the ghost of the murderer haunted
the scene of the crime.
The remarkable story finds some cor.
roboration in the experience of Mr..
Thomas Hunt of Third and Walnut,
that city.
1.-The incident" said Mr.. Hunt the
other day, 'brings to my memory a re-
markable experience OF my own in that
very neighborhood. Before the Cincin-
natl Southern railroad was built / was
acting as agent for the Louisville &
Nashville railroad and was stationed at
Shelby City, nearly mile east of
where the murder of McNeal was COM
mitted.
"The L. & n. road being the only
railroad at that time in nat part of the
country, the city of Danville received
most of the freight and merchandise by
our line. 1t was hauled by wagons
from Shelby City, which is about four
and a half miles on the pike south of
Danville.

reason. Again, their curiosity is likely to
draw them. But reliance is had for the
purpose upon certain devices. Efigies
resembling human beings or gorillas, or
both, will be constructed and placed in
natural attitudes, near the cage, to
serve as decoys.
Every one knows how fond all mon
keys are of looking ut themselves in the
glass, and this weakness of theirs is to
be taken advantage of. Large mirrors,
TO be taken along with the outfit, will
be set up outside the cage, and any go
rillas that catch sight of themselves in
these looking glasses will presumably
be induced to stay and make remarks
