adage, "What the peasant knows not

Dishes" he says. SHOULD be avoided
because in order to appreciate them
one must be accustomed to them. We

dishes should taste like, and our first
experience with them Is always dis
appointing n you must eat these ma.
tional products Of the Kitchen, order
them In the best hotels or at the first
class restaurants, for there they are
localized by careful preparation and
superior Ingredients" The writer gives
special warning against the dishes with
queer names which are served in Aus.
trla aud advises tourists to ask what
these preparations are before ordering
and eating them. As an example he
quotes Hungarian partridge" which
may be found on nearly all bills of

was not long, however, before the out

cured.
Ihe hill is not steep, but is rather
q mud eminence, which the road grad
TALLY ascends and descends. Near the
highest point, and not far from the
highway, is very good spring. It
was here one night in so that an over
seer, one Veazey, who was travelling
with a band of slaves, concluded to
make camp. Veazey was a cruel man,
ana his excessively brutal treatment of
his charges had led him to state of
desperation. After finishing his even
ing meal, he saw that all were care
fully manacled and shackled, and lay
down for his nights rest 1t was for
the last time In the night one of the
slaves, a young woman, rose stealthily,
and with a heavy stone Drained him
as he, lay. BY his keys she released
the party, and they separated and
sought to escape
No inquiry can ascertain what be-
came of this unfortunate party. Some
Of the old residents say the girl made
her way successfully to freedom. There
is another story that she was captured
and made an example Of" We can
well imagine what this would mean.
In the late SOS the attitude of the
slaves in this part of Northern Vir-
ginia was rebellious and defiant to Il
great degree. 1t was within mile Of
Trfplett's hill that the white residents
found over 100 muskets, that had been
brought into the neighborhood under

for the black mems hands when they
should rise. Northern abolitionists
were among the negroes melting them
to rise in rebellion. The race and Sec
tional feeling was high, and it was
at this epoch that the famous Black
Horse cavalry was organized, it being
primarily night patrol, whose purpose
was to ride the roads, send all blacks
home when found roaming, and break
up all meetings of negroes and attempts
at organization.

Under such conditions, in a country
patrolled by riders whose authority
was of the nature of a vigilance COM
mittee, who held slave life at trifing
value, and who owned bloodhounds, it
Is hardly possible that the slave girl
who had murdered her prosecutor could
escape. And what the vengeance would
have been on black who had muir
dered a white at such a time 1t is
painful to conjecture. But whatever
the fate of the girl, since that time
the spot where the tragedy occurred
by the spring has been locally known
as haunted. No doubt the white popu-
lation fostered the belief in this among
the ignorant and superstitious blacks.
The belief Of some of the older
darkies in this ghost is so sincere that
nothing would induce them to cross the
local colored population a few years
ago was Uncle Ephriam, and he claim
ed to have seen the apparition in sew
eral different forms. When I lived
near there, accosted the old man one
day on the subject.
"Uncle Fph," said l, SIS it true that
you have seen the ghost on Tripletts
hill?"
"'Deed I has, sub; deed 1 has"
he replied
'"Tell me about it" I urged.

Ridiculous as this seems to most of
us, it was real enough to the old man,
whose wild imaginations were no doubt
actual so far as he himself was con-
cerned. 1t was fact that at the store
run by the Johnson brothers at the
cross roads he had burst in one night
year or two before, almost exhaust
ed with running, and had poured out
the story, the same as given above in
Inter-Ocean.
