The Windsor Castle Ghost.

Lieutenant Glyn, the young guards
man who recently encountered a
"ghost" in Windsor castle, continues to
insist that his eyes did not deceive him,
and, Judging from the details of his ex
perience which he gravely gives to all
inquirers, 1t is more than probable that
ne is quite right, at least SO far as re-
CARDS his assertion that he "saw some
thing. 1t is easy to see something
almost anywhere, and in Windsor castle
there is large number Of people who
may well have little affairs Of their own
which their duty as royal seryitors pre-
vents them from attending to except in
ways as mysterious as possible. Be that
as II may, Lieutenant Glyu courageous
ly, perhaps indiscreetly, declares: First,
that he WAS sitting quietly i'll the castle
library, improving his mind by peru
sal of The History of Dorsetshire;'
second, that, CHANGING up from this far
from exciting volume, he saw woman
in black, with black lace ON her head
and falling To her shoulders, who passed
noiselessly across the room and disap-
peared i'll "a corner that was out of his
range Of view,
This is all there was to the appari-
ton, and the Internationally enough
would have thought nothing more OF
the episode had not an attendant come
in soon after to close the library. Lieu
tenant Glyn told the man that there was
lady in the inner room. The servant
investigated. There was no lady. And
the chief librarian, who was then sum-
moned, Immediately declared that the
young man had seen the spccter OF Queen
Elizabeth. Lieutenant Glyn was will
ing to let it 60 at that, and the story
has deeply impressed everybody in Eng
land except few cynics. The dean Of
Windsor took pains to get all the de-
tails, several members Of the royal
family" have interviewed the guards
man, and the papers have given much
space to the occurrence. Meanwhile,
doubtless, some young woman is bless
ing the surlstitious tendency of her
fellow couutrymCn, and it's not impos-
sible that some Young man Is equally
pleased at it.-New York Times.

NJ Munrue several months ago, and Hon
j. f.. Moore, collector of customs, has
been acting as commiss ioner, with Cap

Portland is to have a spring exhibition
or fair OF character and magnitude
never before attempted in the State. The
Maine State Mechanical, Industrial and
Cereal exhibition promises to become an
enterprise OF considerable importance,
not only to Portland but to the whole
State, inasmuch as it is to be made as
much as possible State matter. Hereto
fore all indoor fairs held in Portland
have occupied the city hall, that being
the largest i'll the city, but with the com
ing exhibition the new auditorium will
be brought into deserved prominence.
This building offers floor area of Il, 900
SiuhIe itet, aHH
for exhibit purposes. This great space
will be filled on this occasion with ex-
hibits OF beauty, novelty and interest
surprising anything ever before seen in
Maine. one-fare rate has been arranged
on all railroads and steamboat lines, Civ
ing ticket with coupon attached admit
ting to the auditorium and very liberal
l,,,
ton will continue through the two weeks
from May II to 26, and it is anticipated
that the attendance will be large. Ex-
cursions will be run from different points,
and special features have been arranged
to make each day of the twelve unusually
attractive.

takes place in the late summer or early
autumn and is for the purpose OF Kidding
the farmer and the rancher Of pest
which, if left to itself, would transform
a garden of Eden into desert waste.
The jack -rabbit like other nuisanees
hard to abate, are prolific to degree,
and they and their progeny swarm over
the growing farm-lan and meadows to
devour everything in sight. Before them
a field of alfalfa grass will disappear in Il
single night, and every tree OF an orchard
will he girdled with dispatch if not with
neatness.
And SO once every year the farmers and
their cousins, and uncles, and aunts,
gather from far and near to engage in and
to celebrate the event that signals the
passing of the rabbit. BY deploying
across country for several miles they
gath together these diminutlve imita-
tors OF the hordes of Peter the Hermit,
when they were swarming over the Bull
garian plains, and drive them panic
stricken, pell NELL into improvised pounds
or pens where they are put to All igno-
minious death by stout clubs in strong
hands without mercy.
The pound, or pen, or rabbit Golgotha,
or whatever it might be called, is usually
located in the centre of a broad reach OF
level prairie, where neither forest trees
nor the broken contour of the country
can obstruct the view or interfere with
the roundup. The pen is made in any
convenient shape by driving long stakes
into the ground close toget her, very much
like palisade, and running out of this is
narrow lane the two sides OF which,
growing further and further apart, reach
into the adjacent country where their
extremites are mile or two asunder
The lateral fences are built of sage bush
or anything handy that will turn a
rabbit.
The date OF the roundup is fixed sew
eral days in advance and when the time
arrives The people simultaneously gat her
some distance away from and in front OF
the two long extended arms Of fence. and
spreading out like mishers cover a
wide extent of country. The whole line
barking of dogs that are kept we'll in
hand, and the brandishing of arms down
towards the innocent looking abatis
against which the rabbits are driven and
around which they vainly try to escape,
for every step in hat direction only adds
to their dilemma and inevitable I'M
doing.
Still with undiminished noise the mob
OF people move on and denser and denser
grows the impaeted multitude of long
cared animals, now thoroug y frightened,
till the throat OF the pen is reached
through which they crowd into the en-
closure with its high fence. Across the
mouth OF The pound half-hundred stall
wart men bar he way out, and as many
more exerutioners enter to do the bloody
Werk. BY this time the women and chill
dren are dismissed, and as | have no heart
in further exploiting the massacre, let us
draw the curtain. A. 5. CONDOR.
