A 2ICKDER AND IT3 RESCLT3. HE following Btory CT was told me by a lady, She -was the wife of a Ijifj iieh squire in the east v of JLnglandj after whose death she mar ried a well-known Ital ian, fche was a wo men of remarkable " - - ability and of great information, though somew hat eccentric. She had heard the story, with dates and sanies of persons. These 6he had for potten, and had never been able to sup ply them. She declared, however, that she was positively assured that all the details had been verified by the French public authorities where the events related had occurred, and that the records still ex isted somewhere, if the place could only be found. During the first French Revolution two Frenchmen of high birth, Count A. and Viscount B, were despatched by the Royalist party on a mission to Eng land. During their journey on horseback to a northern port of France, where a ves sel awaited them, they were on one oc casion benighted in the middle of a wide heath. Riding slowly forward, they perceived a light from what turned out to be a large ami solitary chateau. After some knocking, steps were heard slowly coming in the yard within, and at last the door was cautiously unlocked. A porter or caretaker peered through the n arro w opening and asked the reason of the knocking. "We have lost our way and are tired and hungry. We require shelter and food for ourselves and our horses." "Impossible !" was the churlish reply, and the door was about to be closed when one of the travellers intercepted it with his foot, and, producing a pistol, said: "We are quite ready to pay for our lodging and supper, but we cannot go further to night." The caretaker paused for a moment as though reflecting, and at last he said: "I will give you shelter for the night, and food for yourselves and your beasts, on one condition, viz., that you give me your word of honor as gentlemen, which I am sure you are, that nothing will in duce you to leave the room I give you, and that to-morrow at daybreak you go on your journey without asking any questions." The promise given, the door was opened, and the horses taken to the Ptnbles, which were within the court. The porter then led the two travellers up a splendid staircase and through a long corridor hung with tapestry, at length turning into a large empty room furnished as a drawing-room, and evi dently belonging to the dwelling of a wealthy noble. Near the door was a large fireplace in which a fire soon blazed. Candles were lighted, and the travellers saw two large and luxurious beds, with rich hangings, one nearer to the door than the other. A table was placed near the fire, and be fore long a substantial supper was brought, the utensils supplied for the meal, and all the belongings of the house showing considerable luxury. After eating their 6upper the two tra vellers went to rest. The elder took the bed nearest the door, leaving the other, some feet off, to his companion. Logs had been placed on the fire sufficient for the night, the door was locked, and the wayfarers gladly betook themselves to sleep. About an hour after going to sleep the elder suddenly woke, starting in his bed. He could not account for this sudden waking. The room was strongly lighted by the fire, there was no noise, and Count A. was about to lay himself once again on the pillow, when a remarkable fight met him. A man of striking ap pearance with a gray beard but dressed in a blouse, walked slowly toward the" bed. When he had approached within A .few feet, he beckoned three times to follow " though wanting him to The Count gEzed at, him withdatj mov ing, when the figure, bowing courteous ly, turned round and walked slowly away, stopping from time to time and looking back, repeating his beckoning gesture with an imploring gaze till lie reached the door, when he disappeared. Naturally startled at this unusual ap pearance, Count A. rose from his bed and walked to the door to see if it had been tampered with, but it was still locked. Very weary, he turned in his bed and once more fell asleep. About an hour later he again started in the same sttdden manner. Again he saw the same figure, this time nearer the bed. Again did it beckon hia to fol low, and, moving toward the door, turned with great eagerness, and still oftener than before, to repeat the same motioii with his hand. The hand was that of a gentiemanj small and white, and ith a ting oti one of the fingers. Frightened at this extraordinary ap parition; CoUnt . A. this time woke his companion arid narrated what had passed. "Nonsense," replied the lat ter, "you ate too much supper and hava been awoke by a nightmare. I am really too tired to talk about it." The nervous earnestness with which the elder tiavellerrepeated the story, impressed the younger, until he pro posed that the curtains of tho Count's bed should be tied to the bedclothes of his, so that in the case of a third visit he could be awakened without noise. Af ter securely fastening the curtains of one bed to the coverings of the other, each returned to his own couch. A third time the Count was awakened in the same startling manner. The figure Stood close to his bed, and the face of the visitor looked down on that of the awakened sleeper. The features of the apparition were plainly marked. They exhibited great pain and sadness The Count grasped the hangings! The apparition held up his hand. The Count jerked at his curtains, but they fell back without resistance, for the knot had been untied. Once again the figure retreated sorrowfully, turning but seldom to beckon, as though the attempt had been given up in despair. It was now near daybreak. The Count awoke his companion, and they Bat up together till morning. Shortly after dawn the caretaker, ac cording to previous agreement, knocked at the door, which the Count unlocked witnout aimcuitv, and the morning meal was brought in. The caretaker looked curiously at the two visitors as though inclined to ask questions. He, however, did not carry out his intention. The travelers, mindful of their prom ise, made no remark. The horses, well groomed and refreshed, were ready for their journey, and the two companions left the chateau, the caretaker refusing to accept any payment or gratuity. The two men rode away, reached their port of embarkation, and arrived safely in England. Not many years later the elder of the two returned to France and accepted the new state of things. The Bona parte Government offered him an ad ministrative post in the north. This the Count accepted, and among the other inducements which led to his acceptance was the chance of elucidating the mys tery which constantly recurred to his memory. A very short time elapsed after assuming his duties when he made inquiries as to the chateau and its own ers. The story told him was that the cha teau belonged to the Marquis de , a gentleman of great wealth and retired hab its. When somewhat advanced in years he had married a girl of low extraction, but of great beauty the daughter of the peasant who now took care of the cha teau. A year or two after their mar riage a half-brother of the Marquis had left the army and come to reside with his brother, and some months later all three disappeared from the country to gether, without leaving any address, the chateau being placed under the care of the father of the Marquise, an old game keeper. The rapid succession of inci dents in the Revolution, by absorbing public interest, had prevented inquiry. The caretaker led a gloomy, solitary life at the chateau. He was little seen ex cept when he went out to make pur chases; but he always seemed to be well provided with money. Arming himself with the necessary legal authority, which probably lent it self easily to the functionaries of the State, the Count prepared to investigate the mystery. He accordingly repaired to the chateau with the agents of the law, and a priest well known in the neighborhood, to whom the 6tory had been told. On arriving at the house the caretaker endeavored to withstand the intrusion, but yielding to force, the gate was opened, and the Count and the priest proceeded straight to the room where the incident had occurred. "I think," said the priest, this affair at present belongs more to me than to the law. Allow me to spend the night here alone. All I require is a lantern and a pistol. There will be force within hearing, but I believe the mystery can be solved more easily by one man than by many" The brave old roan's offer was accepted. The Count and his at tendants posted themselves in other parts of the house, keeping the care taker with them. A fire was lighted in the large room, and the priest was left there alone with his prayer-book. He had not remained long, when the figure appeared beckoning to him, and he at once rose to follow. It passed through the door, always looking from time to time to see that the priest was behind. It led the way through a long corridor, then into a room which still contained all the appearance of a lady's. Tn the corner was a small staircase, down which the priest descended in obedience to the summons of the appa rition. It led to a small vestibule which opened into a chapel. The figure walk ed slowly up the aisle, ascended the steps of the altar, then suddenly disap peared. The priest, following with his lantern, perceived after some search a brass ring on the very spot where the figure had vanished. It was evidently the handle of a trap-door, which, however resisted all the attempts of the priest to raise it. He fired his pistol, and soon the Count and his attendants came to hia help. The door raised, a steep l&ddor-stair ;ase led into a vault. At the bottom of the ladder lay a human skeleton, dressed GOLDSBORO, ftt clothes similar to those worn by tha apparition, and with a beard still hang- u uie cnin, a Tina was on th Anew. The caretaker tnada little riiffiAnitv in confessing the teal facts. The Marquis, whd Was a man of the kindest disposition and had treated his half-brother with, unwonted, indulgence, had discovered that too intimate c. relations existed be tween him and his wife. Frightened At his orders to leave the house,, the two had murdered him as he slept in the large room, and conveyed his body along the passage through which the figure had led the priest. The caretaker was taken into confidence, and left to look Rfler the house and property, while the criminal couple had left the country and were living in Belgium under an assumed name, supplied with money by the wo men's father, the caretaker, from the resources of the property, to wliich the half-brother was the natural heir. He and the woman were brought back to France, tried, and executed. This story was told me nearly forty frears ago, at Jersey, during the year of she first Exhibition. Though in'simple language, it was related with great dramatic force and undoubted good faith. The lady declared to me that she fully believed the story had been officially recorded in the archives of some munici pal or provincial department in France. She was by birth of considerable rank, and members of her family had leen in close friendship with many emigres. Bhe promised to let me know if she ever heard of it again ; but I saw little Gf her afterward, and she is now dead. It would be interesting to know whether her narrative had any foundation. Some one who may have heard this tale may Bupply the information. I have never heard of it from any other source nor read Of it in any book. The narrator told me that those who first related the story Were evidently believers in its truth. Murray' 8 Mdjazine, Superstitions About Anchors "Sailors," said an old salt, "have sup erstitious ideas attached to everything aboard, including anchors. They are apt to have more confidence in one of two anchors that may be exactly alike. They believe it will hold better under precisely the 6ame circumstances than the other. Nothing changes the belief, although its origin is in some peculiar formation of that particular spot at the bottom on which the big hook is dropped. I heard a story once. A certain schooner encountered a storm off the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Her anchor dragered, she was cast on the shoal and her crew i drowned in trying to get ashore, all save one man. Somehow her anchor was part of the wreck's salvage. It was sold to another schooner. Aboard of it was the sailor rescued from the first ship. He recognized the anchor. He told his shipmates and prophesied evil. Sure enough, the vessel caught a fearful gale. It was wrecked and four of the crew lost. Again the anchor was part of the salvage. It was sold to a vessel just built in an other port. One of the shipwrecked crew, as in the last case, had joined, and he, like his companion, knew the anchor. He and his comrades refused to sail in the company of that anchor. What did the captain do? He was a level-headed tar. He wanted to sail, so he needed a crew, and another anchor was not pro curable. He just had that anchor put ashore; he just hired a blacksmith to smash it up so that the men didn't know it. Then he put it aboard and the ship sailed. Nothing happened on that voy age, but towards its end the crew got on to the anchor disguise. At the next available port the captain got a new anchor." Trial by Jury. First Juryman (after the cross-examination of Bishop DeGood by a great criminal lawyer) I don't see how that feller ever got to be a bishop. Second Juryman He's no bishop. Didn' you hear the lawyer's questions ? He's no bishop. He's a confidence man an' a dead beat. Third Juryman Wuss ner that. Did ye see how he flushed up when the lawyer asked him who it was stole the pennies from his dead grandmother's eyes? Fourth Juryman Didn't he, though ? An' he turneel pale when he was asked how it happenecTthat his rich old grand father died so suddenly after livin'in purty good health for ninety-nine years. Fifth Juryman Ye bet y'r boots that there Bishop had a grudge ngin poor, abused Cutthroat, the prisoner, an this is the first chance he had to git even. He's tryin' to swear his life away.b'gosh. Sixth Juryman I say, fellers, after we bring in Cutthroat not guilty let's git together in the evenin an' lynch the Bishop. Omaha World. It is said that the smallest child in the world belongs to a Maine family. A local paper claims this honor for Millard Fill more Brown, son of Nathan Brown, who formerly lived in Prospect. The child lias been on exhibition in Boston lately. At the time of his birth he weighed twenty ounces, and at the present time he is about three months old and weighs twenty-three ounces and is eleven inches tall. His foot is one inch in length, and one inch spans his wrist, He eaid he'd shovel oft tho walk, And he veat mt, but lo! fie lelt the wik just where it wm And ihordtei off the snow. tenon L6uriart N.

A NEGRO ASSAULTS A LITTLE GIRL A Mob Takes Charge of Him and Hangs Him to a Limb Threats mf Vengeance. Hardy Posey, colored, was lynched by a mob of masked white men for attempt to rape a twelve year old white girl at Bessemer, Ala. The negro went to the home of a farmer named McKinney, who lives just outside of town. He found Alice McKinney. a twelve year old girl, alonc,and approach ing her from behind, threw her to the ground and attempted to outrage her. Her screams brought her uncle to the rescue,"and the negro ran, but was soon caught. He was taken In charge by the police and was locked up. The girl was brought in AND IDfcXTlFlED TOPEY in a crowd of twenty negro men. Theus was no excitement, but a determination to make swift and certain punishment was seen in the faces of the white men of the town. The town marshal took the prisoner to his residence and placed him under strong guard, but his precautions were useless. Soon after midnight two hun dred masked men appeared at the officer's house and demanded the prisoner. The men were very quiet and had littie to say, but they meant business. Posey was taken, and the officers were com pelled to go along with the mob and see the work well done. About fifty feet from the depot, near the center of the town, itood a large oak tree, and under this the crowd stopped. The negro was bound band and foot and the rope placed around his neck with the regulation hangman's knot. A large ' placard was pinned to his breast, bearing the words : "Our mothers, wives and daughters must and shall be protected. Signed "Bessemer's Best Citizens." The leader then gave the order to pull awav, and in a moment the negro's body was hanging from a limb, his feet being ten feet from the ground. The crowd then moved away as quietly as they came. The body was left HANGING TO THE LIMB until 9 o'clock in the morning, when it was cut down by the coroner. Posey was a brother of Wesley Posey, who came near sharing the same fate at the hands of a mob in Birmingham four years ago. Wesley Pos-ey assaulted a white woman, and " the efforts of a mob to lynch him brought about the "Posey riot" at Birmingham, and caused all the State troops to be ordered there. He was afterwards tried and convicted, but died in jail soon after being sentenced. Taking One Too Mnch at One's Word. Hostess Wont't you play us some thin?, 3Ir. Spinks ?

Yellows will be used with brown the coming season. For summer traveling wraps the redin gote is the garment. Scarlet will be less used the coming season than it was last. Real poke bonnets are seen among the dew models for summer. The tucked sleeve has come to stay, it I so pfetty and so becoming. Lady McDonald takes an active in terest in revival meetings at Ottawa. Among the prettiest of demi-trained toilets are those of cream-white Henrietta cloth. The wife and daughter of General Boulanger are believers in woman suf frage. Mrs. Cleveland never walks in the streets unless accompanied by her doc "Kay." Tucked panels of china crepe on wed ding gowns of moire are new and verj stylish. The Empress of Russia has a knack with the needle and makes beautiful em broidery. New straw bonnets are so soft and JIiant that they are folded, not pressed, into shape. Some of the women of Paris have formed a league for the suppression of impure literature. Mrs. Dutton, of Indi3na, is 102 years old. She has been a confirmed smoker for ninety-two years. The Duchess of Madrid, the wife of Don Carlos, the Spanish pretender, is a tremendous stickler about etiquette. Prof. Simon Newcomb's daughter en joys the distinction of having been the only female student of Johns Hopkins University. Flowers are now mounted with their own leaves, or ferns, or grass, as the taste of the moment is against tho mix ture of blossoms. The daughter of Mayor Hewitt, of New York, is one of the best "whips" in the country. She can drive four in nand better than most men. The old, old fashion of silken bodices, pink, blue, green or any color, with skirts of tulle, crape or tarletan of white or cream, has been revived. The teagown grows upon the English public. For country house wear it is all but universal, and in London it is quite the thing for home dinners. Absinthe a pale, creamy yellow green is a new fashionable color for summer evening toilets, which will be combined with black lace or cream lace. For the last twenty years Queen Vic toria's weight has been a mystery. She is very sensitive about her increasing size and refuses to be weighed. Jet bonnets, with the heads forming an rpen cross-bar pattern, are filled in with tulle, of black, poppy red, suede or apple-green, according to fancy. A honeycombed or smocked blouse is one ot the prettiest of the stylish neglige waists which will be sure to be popular with young girls the coming season. The belts of round waists begin under the arms, and fasten a little to one side, either with a small buckle or a chou cabbage bow of the trimming ribbon. Tucks appear in all fabrics, from tulle to cloth, and while in the light stuffs they are run with floss silk, in the heav ier ones they have a layer of wadding added. Red or black bengallnes are trimmed with gold galloon plaited in them, and laid around collar, vest, cuffs, and along draperies, and either forming a loose girdle or .edging the sash. The kilted skirt introduces a novelty this senson in the trimming which is placed on the edge of each plait; this is sometimes a row of pinking or a small cord, in contrasting colors. A new idea for bodice3 of soft stuff is to have the full front caught in at the waist by bands of inch-wide ribbon so crossed as to form a double diamond and give a slender effect. One of Liszt's feminine pupils preserves as a highly prized relic a handkerchief with the great master wrapped about his finger one day hen it was bleeding.

He tells us that the dynimic power of a single pound of good steam coal is equivalent to the work of a man for one day ; three tons of the same coal will re resent a man's labor for twenty years; and one square mile of a seam of coal having a depth of four feet only will represent as much work as 1,000,000 men can erform in twenty years.
