September -, 1S62.-Vincent r.
jackson, one Of the volunteer nurses
who went to the battlefield at Bull Run
and with So others was taken prisoner
by the Confederates. returned to Wash
ington tonight from Richmond. He
was released three days ago from the
Libby prison with John H. Goddard,
Patrick English, w. Lay, H. w. Turpin,
Clarke, p. D. Crme. w. Sanford,
Robert Cross and James Stafford.
They came with paroled prisoners to
Annapolis. Mr.. jackson continued on
TO Washington and the others remained
Before leaving Libby prison they
were used as clerks in making out the
lists Of those prisoners who were to be
exchanged and paroled.
Mr.. Jackson says that he was cap
tured near the battlefield on the Sum
day after the fight. He was first taken
to Gen. Lees headquarters in company
with other prisoners, and. was then
marched in a roundabout way to the
Rapidan River, travelling distance of
about $50 miles. The prisoners were
placed on railroad cars and carried to
Richmond. where they arrived 10 days
after their capture.
They were placed in the Libby prison,
where they were "tolerably well
treated" according to Mr.. Jackson.
Most Of them had friends among the
residents of Richmond. who supplied
them with money. They purchased
butter at $3.50 per pound, mOlaSseS ut
$3.50 per quart and matches at SO and
IS cents per box.
In the same building about $50
prisoners of State-citizens mostly of
Virginia and Kentucky-were confined.
Mr.. jackson says these men were in
wretched condition, some of them
having been in close confinement for
the last IA months.

Military men are frequent witnesses
Of psychic occurrences. Bismarck, Gen.
Butler, Gen. Fremont, Obregon, Earl
Roberts, Pickett and many others have
related instances of supernormal as
poets.
None surpasses in interest that de-
scribed by Gen. Sir Arthur Becher,
formerly high officer of the British
staff in India, that country in which
occurs so much that seems mystical to
the Occidental.
The hot season being at hand, Sir
Arthur went up to the hill station Of
Kussowlie to look over house he and
his family proposed to occupy until
cooler weather arrived.
AS it was too late to get back to CAL
cIltta, he decided to spend the night in
the house. The place proved comfort
sleep. But In the middle Of the night
he suddenly awakened.
Standing near his bed and also close
to an open door which led to the bath
room was native woman.
who are you?" called out the gen.
eral, jumping from the bed.
The figure retreated silently into the
bathroom. He followed hastily, but
when he entered he found the room
empty.
The outer door of the bath was
locked. 1t was impossible that the
woman should have escaped through it.
Yet she had. There was no other exit.
Sir Arthur went back to bed. pom
dered and fell asleep. What did 1t all
mean? Was he the victim of halluci-
nation?
In the morning he wrote on a door
post, saw a ghost" But he did not
mention the circumstances to any one
He did not expect there would be a
sequel.
In due course he and his family
moved in. Lady Becher decided that
she would use as her dressing room the
room in which the general had SLEPT
on the previous visit.
At o'clock on the evening of hel
arrival she went to dress for dinner
Going to her wardrobe to take out il;
gown, she CHANGED to glance through
the open door into the bathroom.
Standing there was a native woman
Lady Becher never allowed q Servan
: in her room while dressing. Her frs
thought was that the figure she saw
belonged to her own maid. But whel
she called out, What do you want?'
there was no answer.
AS Sir Arthur had done, she investi-
gated. The figure disappeared through
the outer door. But that door wa.
closed and locked.
At dinner she related the occurrence
to the general. Recalling his own ex.
perience, he was deeply mystifled. But
there was more TO occur
That same night, their youngest son
boy Of eight. who slept in the same

1t was nearing the end Of the day and
both children were. cross. Mother had
been very busy with housework and Wis
itors and the afternoon nap had been
no more than q gesture. There had been
no time TO wash hands and faces and
change clothes. Weary. hungry. irrit-
able, the two youngsters whined and
fused and slapped each other and wept
afresh.
susie and Bobbie, / have spoken to
you for the last time: II you don't be-
have now until your father comes home
I'm going away. I'm going to put on
my hat and coat and leave you"
The two children sat up and looked
frightened. Then they began playing
again but with almost no noise. They
whispered and tiptoed and glided about
very softly. Then Of course, they for
got. Bobby tipped over the dolls tea
table. Susie stormed at him. He re-
turned the compliment. Susie slapped
Bobbie and once more he responded in
kind. Then both lifted their oices in
anguiShed protest.
Mother, she hit me-"
Mother, Bobbie slapped me again"
Didn't tell you that the very next
time you misbehaved I'd 60 away and
leave you? Well, I'm going. Good
bye" and mother put on her old hat
and coat and started for the door.
The howlS increased to shrieks of
protest. Pleas for pardon. One more
chance. please, mother, don't 60 away
and we will be good"
"An right. I'll try you again. But

room with them, started up out Of his
sleep, calling out in frightened voice:
What do you want, ayah (nurse) 2"
This remark was in Hindustani
Lady Becher noted that the boys bed
was faced toward the door of her dress
ing room and the bath. He, too. had
seen the figure of native woman.
She quoted him until he fell asleep
But she and Sir Arthur, their minds
filled with conjectures, did not doze
again for some time.
Whence came this apparition, they
asked themselves. Would it return
again?
It turned out that it didn't. Inquiry
of former residents brought the infor-
nation that it had been seen before
but only on the first night or so after
the house was occupied by new tenants.
Some years before, handsome, ma
tive Cashmere woman had been MUIR
dered in a hut few yards below 1.-THE
house. The crime had taken place i'm
mediately under the outer door TO the
bath and dressing room through which
the supposed apparition had entered
and left.
Was it the ghost of this woman which
came back to haunt the house? And if
so, why?
Perhaps, in life, the beautiful CASH
mere had come into the house at night
clandestinely for reasons which ulti-
mately. resulted in the murder. The
striking circumstance in connection
with the incident Is that the figure was
seen by three different persons without
either having heard Of 1t before.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo p.,ri

can't live with such bad children. They
give me o headache. Go wash your
faces before your father sees you have
been crying. He won't like you at all
If you drive your mother away"
Tired, irritable children at the close
OF day are enough TO make the angels
weep. Even at that we mast not
threaten to forSake them. We must not
put fear Of being deserted into their
minds. That fear Is responsible for
many trembling, weak-Souled child.
Children soon learn the feeling Of
loneliness to which every human soul is
heir. They, sensing their weakness,
their helplessness, dread to be left alone.
To do or to say anything that will i'm
plant and strengthen that fear Is a
great mistake. Far better TO teach the
children that no matter what they do,
no matter where they are, home is
waiting for them and mother Is always
there.
If your child cries when you go away
for q few minutes, or for O longer
period, he may have this fear. If he
! weeps when he goes to school, II he runs
home at recess, II he comes racing home
breathleSS after dismissal, II he comes
in from play on pretense of wanting
something search for this fear OF being
left alone. If 1t is there, set about root
ing it out at once.
Teach the child that you are always
with him in spirit. Be with him phys
ically whenever he actually needs you.
Teach him as he grows older to go out
I from home and return to find you well
coming him. Guard against cultivat-
ing this type of fear. It IL truly dan
gerous to healthy growth.

Those who like the smart effect Of
the large beads now in vogue for
chokers or longer neckchains, but re-
sent the weight of them, can enjoy the
fashion today, as it is expressed in the
very latest mode.
Cork beads are in use to alternate
with glass and composition ones in the
newest necklaces. They accord well
with the peasant style of ornamentation,
which many of the chains represent.
Cork beads do not attempt to dis
guise their substance, and it makes us
recall the vogue, not yet spent, for en-
broidery of crude sort on dish cloths, by
which they were transformed into at
tractive handbags. The kitchen has
certainly been glorifled in the adorn-
ments given both 1t and its accessories,
of which the latest is perhaps the most
