ghosts do not make their myster-

besides he played havoc with every
thing that came in his way in the

he was sure to find something to

by magic and must have found
ffgome secluded place not known
to the tenants as all doors were
locked. They looked in every
nook and corner and no robber in
sight. They did not know but
that he was part ghost to see him
disappear SO mysteriously. They.
still heard his gentle rappings by
night and saw where he had made

Last Sunday these people took

not know that her sleeves were
going to be put to a purpose never

cloak in the closet and
when she came to put it on she
did not notice anything unusual
and as she had not been shopping
her sleeves seemed to be empty.
She went to church as meek as

sleeve. She looked around but
saw no one disturbing her. Sud-

Albert Hawkins held tbs ribbons for

Albert Hawkins held tbs ribbons tor
the last time. He is growing old, and
does not feel strong enough to I'LL the
responsible position. No accident ever
happened to any president nor to any
member of the executive family while
he was coachman, and be thinks that
younger, stronger hands than his
should now draw rein in that important
position.
During the early days OF his service
Albert was accustomed to driving four
horses for the presidential coach, but
latterly our presidents have been less
ostentatious, and two horses have been
regarded as sufficient. 1t was not COM
Sidered bad taste for President Grant
TO ride behind four horses and he con-
stantly did so, and in those days II was
the customary way for the president to
90 about, but President Hayes didn't
like 1t and so the custom lapsed for
four years and was only ftfully re-
yived by President Arthur. That the
latter preferred to drive that way was
evident, for in. summer he frequently
took an airing behind the four high
stepping bays which he owned; for Mr..
Arthur was as pronounced . lover OF
horses as Gen. Grant, and he frequent-
ly visited the white house stables.
Albert was always there, and the
horses knew him well. He was very
kind to them. giving them apples,
| Jumps of sugar and bits OF candy,
which they relished and whinnied for
whenever their drivers black face APP
peared In the doorway. President
Arthur's bays would follow their black
master all around the stable grounds,
and even up and down Seventeenth
street clear to the fsA ponds near the
monument. The old man always had
a love for horses and the correlative
faculty Of making his dumb servants
love him. He always taught them
their individuality by impressing their
names upon their brains; SO that, when
driving four horses, II any one Of them
| needed an admonition the mention Of
his name by the driver on the box
would almost mesmerize the animal.
| They all knew his voice, and he was 50
gentle with them that they responded to
his appeals or commands with alacrity.
mo, was never nervous when driv-
ing for the presidents" said Albert,
latter had been serving Gen. Grant
for little while. They are like all
other men, except that great men are
always more considerate than ordinary
men. I have known subordinate gov.
ernment officials to talk to their drivers
as masters used to talk to slaves. But
no president or cabinet officer ever
spoke unkindly to me. They are al
kind, high-minded men. Yes, / wal

Gen. Grant, but / soon found that hs
was just like other men, only better

ing, he receives from 25 to 30 cents
per hundred pounds. Many OF them
do this, rather than to cure the moss
by barying it, and waiting two or three
months for it to die. They mainly
ship by eamboat, which is very much
cheaper than by rail, and many OF
them float down the bayous or creeks
on flatboats into the Mississippi, thence
to New Orleans, where their cargoes
are sold, and their purchases Of calicoes,
provisions, ETC., are made. But, too
frequently, these needed purchases are
omitted, and the pickers fall in among
the dens of colored thieves in the negro
quarter, where they are stripped OF
their earnings as they have denuded
the trees of the swamps.
The receipts of moss average about
100 bales daily, or about $4,000 pounds.
The factories put up the moss in quar-
ter bales Of 100 pounds, and in halt
bales of 200 pounds, which are known
as "machine-cured moss, and is shipped
to the principal cities of the United
States, also France and Germany, where
it is used in all kinds of upholstery in
which hair is used. Notwithstanding
the increased and increasing demand
for Louisiana, or Spanish, moss, the
supply seems to increase. Pickers
| state that it seems to be more plentiful
than ever, as If its growth were increased
| by the annual thinning out Of the moss
forests. The demand is greater thi.
season than ever, and 1t promises *
