THUE GHOST STORIES.
In 1870, '71 and '72, in a house on
Columbia hcights,I)rooklyn, therolivcd
lour ladies, all of tlicm writers, and all
but one of them (Miss Rebecca V.
Enslerbrooks, an author of consider
able promise, who died in 1873) now
alivo. Their names are Miss Caroline
B. Lo Ross, teacher of elocution at
Vassar college; Mrs. M. F. Butts, a
well-known writer nnd journalist, who
resides at Westerly, It. I., and Mrs.
Eleanor Ames, better known to tho
literary world as "Eleanor Kirk."
Tho ladies aro willing to attest to tho
truthfulness of thefollowingnarrative:
It was a pleasant brown stone, costly-furnished
abode, bearing every ex
ternal and internal indication of
peaco and comfort. Thoro was
nothing to distinguish it from other
houses on Columbia heights, save that
its inmates wero all bread-winners,
nnd so occupied tho day and evening as
to leave very littlo timo for tho claims
of society. Thrco of them wero con
tributors to tho Now York daily news
papers. Theso ladies worked and did
not entertain much- tho other ladies
in this aristocratic locality entertain-)
Dd moro and did not work. But thcro
was a greater difference between them,
ono so puzzling, so entirely oil thecoma
mon, so oxciting, so opposed to nil
known laws, as to furnish a constant
themo of speculation, nnd persistently
to worry and alarm tho members of
tho household. This house on Colum
bia heights wus oven a moro wonder
ful placo than that of John Wesley, or
of tho grandfather of Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps. Our four literary feminino
bread-winners displayed no seeking af
ter tho supernatural, and had thero
been inclination for such seeking thcro
was no time for it.
Two of tho ladies, sistors, occupied
tho front alcovo room on tho second
story, and a third occupied tho bnck
room on tho same floor. Tho porfor
mnnco opened ono night about 12
o'clock, soon after they had moved
into tho house, with tho sound of
shuffling footsteps in tho rooms. A
light was struck and tho noiso ceased.
Tho doors lending to tho hall wero
locked, and no intruder was visible.
Tho gns was turned down again and
silenco had reigned for a fow moments,
whon tho samo singular shuffling was
distinctly heard, uccompnnicd by a
now sound, llko tho dragging of a stiff
silken skirt on tho enrpot. This was
followed by loud knockings in different
parts of tho rooms. Sometimes on
tho doors, nnd ngain on tho floor and
tho window panes, and winding up
with a whack, a crash, and a bang.
With fear and trombling tho gas was
ngain turned up, nnd with tho samo
result as before "Nothing nor nobody
anywhere." A midnight conforenco
was held, and when tho ladies
again retired tho gns was left burning
full blast. All was quiiit.butupon wak
ing in tho morning a strange sight mot
their1 astonished eyes. Chairs woro
turned upsido down, bureaus wero dis
mantled, cushions and mats, hair-pins
and hair receivers woro strewn about
tho floor, and, worso than all, tho gar
ments, which had been carefully ar
ranged for tho morning, togothor with
tho slippers and stockings in fact, all
tho paraphornalia of threo wardrobes
wero so mixed up and churned to
gothor, that it was almost impossiblo
Co separata them.
This was a houso-warming with a
vengoauco, nnd tho quartetto of bread
winners mot at tho breakfast table is a
stato of wonder and nervous anxiety
impossiblo to describo. A careful in
quiry as to tho kind of night that had
been passed by tho other mombers of
tho family elicited nothing unusual.
On this occasion no ono had been dis
turbed but tho ladies on tho second
floor and tho occupants of tho adja
cont houses, who called in to ascertain
tho causo of it. Theso exercises
proved only to bo an overture; for
during fho wliolo year spout in tho
house thoro was litornllv no rest from
theso strnngo phenomena. About
throo nights m a week tho samo noises
woro hoard on tho second floor, with
tho samo nggravntin; mixing up of
clothes and overturning of iurnituro.
Ono day about tho 1st of .luno the
lady of tho houso, returning from her
Now York olllco, rang tho door boll.
Tho door wns immediately opened
indeed, quicker than a Hash by a tall,
Btranuo woman in black. Sim woro a
largo camoo at hor nock, and on hor j
head a threo-eorncral pioco of laco,
trimmed with lavender bows. Thoro
was nothing in tho least ghostly about
her appearanco with tho oxcoption of
tho singular way in which shu backed
from tho vestibulo into tho parlor.
Wondering who this woman could bo
who had taken upon herself tho ollleo
of door-oponor, tho broad-winner
followed hor iustnntly into tho parlor.
Nobody thero. Up stairs, down stairs,
in every nook, closot and crovico tho
seeker hunted and peered without tho
least trnco of n human or spiritual
being. In Bhort, thero was not a nor
son in tho houso savo sho who had
inst entorod. Even tho sorvant, find
ing that she needed sonio nrticlo foi
dinner, had locked tho doors and gone
out to got it. This was tho first and
last visiblo appoaranco of this parti
cular spook upon tho scene.
But afterward it was impossiblo to
partake of a meal in peace. It was n
common proceeding for tho tablo to
tip at ono end in such a manner as to
Bond tho dishes in a heap together,
without respect for grtivy uonts, but
ter dishear, soup tureens or cofleo pots,
although, strangely enough, nothing
was over destroyed, and no ono wns
over hurt In theso out-of-tho-way per
formances. A guest at tho tnblo was tho Bignal
lor a grand demonstration. Tho most
awful Knocks would bo heard undor
Jiis or her plate, tho tablo would lurch,
creak nnd danco about like something
alive, much to tho mortification of the
broad-winners, each of whom had a
deep Beated abhorrenco to being
classed among spiritualists. Not
ono of them wns oven credulous.
From first to last ovory instance
was carefully weighod and sifted,
and tho supernatural was the last theo
ry to obtain. But who tipped o vor the
tables? Who dragged BtiHHilkon fabrics
over tho floor In tho dead of tho night
when exits wero carefully looked and
bolted? Whorangthobellaandbttnged
tho doors? Who so persistently mixed
uptho wearing apparel?
The most aggravating feature of the
whole remarkable business was the
Btealing or the hiding of valuable arti
cles, for tho invisible thief or thieves
always returned tho things that were
takon. One was never certain that an
article of dress could bo found unless
it was on the body of tho owner.
Cloaks, Bhawls, dresses, hats, gloves,
in broad day-light, under one's very
eyes, would suddenly disnppenr, and
no amount of hunting would bring
them to light. So it came to pass that
tho ladies were frequently obliged to
borrow clothes from each other, and
neither know in the morning what de
scription of dry goods would be worn
in tho afternoon. Tho invisible pres
ences wero especially partial to black
hair. It was never disturbed on tho
head, but on tho dressingcase or when
hung over a gas fixture, or when lying
in a drawer, it was certain to walk
off. Indeed tho only way to in
sure tho presence of tho necessary
black hair was to keep it pinned in
one's pocket, or buttoned in one's
dress whilo tho natural hair on one's
head was being combed.
Ono morning one of tho Indies forgot
to be cautious, nnd left her valuable
back hair on tho dressing caso for n
moment. She was entirely alone in
her room, with her door bolted. "I
turned around," she said, "and ns I
did so immediately bethought myself
of the switch. I turned back again
nnd tho thing had gone."
A pair of six nnd a half gloves could
bo worn by a fivo hand; nnd a cloak
for a small person could bo stretched
to do service for a larger one, but a
blnck switch could hardly be worn on
a blonde head. In other words, it
was not an easy matter to borrow one.
To go to Now York to ono's placo of
business minus a switch was hard, but
this bread-winner was game, and,
moreover furiously angry. Sho mado
tin her mind that sho would not bo
blttlTed. In place of tho good sized nnd I
symmetrical French twist which usual-'
ly adorned her intellectual skull was a
nondescript bunch that gave it a
strango ancient appearanco. "For
mercy's sake," sho remarked to hor I
menus nssiio waiKcu otic oi tncnousc,
with flnshing eyes and a scarlet face,
"do lot's niovo away from this hor
riblo placo. I hnvo borno everything
before this. I havo worn other folks ,
clothes, I have been out of this house
many a timo with old boots on, and
onco I went to report Bcecher with
ono boot on of my own nnd ono shoo
of somebody cIho's, but to havo to go
to Now York without my back hair is
a littlo too much."
Such wails were constant. Occasion
ally coaxing nnd entreaty would avail,
but only occasionally. To beg somo
invisible power to return tho boots or
tho hat or tho dress which woro to bo
worn on a business engagement wns
rather an uncanny piece of business,
but wns sometimes successful. I
At theso times tho articles would bo
literally fired at tho owner's head.
Thoy would como from the corner of
tho room or from the coiling, but how
or by whom wns an impenetrable
mvstery unsolved to this day.
It was in thoso days that tho ladies
reeularlv reported tho sermons of
Henry Wnru Bccchor. They sat to
gether at a small tablo immediately in
front of tho pulpit. Ono morning,
whon busy with their work, very dis
tinct raps wero hoanl upon tho table,
continuing for fivo minutes or more,
when tho tablo began to lurch and
pitch about, and finally slammed it
Bolf violently against the plattorm.
Tho bread-winning reporters wero
forced to finish their work on hymn
books in thoir laps.
At tho ovoning service tho tablo wns
liko any other well-behaved pieco of
furniture. Not a sound was heard.
But on tho following Sunday morning
it wns again nlivo nnd full of mischief.
As soon ns tho first demonstration
occurred tho broad-winners very quiet
ly removed thoir work to their laps
ngain.
But this mndo no difference.
Without a hand near it this animat
ed pieco of wood went through its won
dorful gyrations, nnd with as much
npparcnt method us a soldier at drill.
An unusually stirring remark from tho
dosk was suro to bo immediately ap
preciated and applauded. Up and
down, backward and forward, t ho
lively tablo would jump nnd tilt, strik
ing occasionally against tho platform,
with a series o whacks that could bo
heard all over tho church.
Theso manifestations continued un
til thoy attracted as much attention
as tho minister. This wns a littlo too
much publicity for tho bread-winners,
and tho tablo was finally relegated
to privacy, and tho backs of hymn
books woro used in placo of tho mis
behaved pieco of furniture.
As in tho case of Solomon and tho
Queen of Sholm, tho half has not been
told: but theso incidonts aro vouched
by the bread-winners to bo literally
truo.
Curing Sort Corn.
Tho Now YorkTribuno has a variety
of cures tako your choice:
0. S. says: "Split a good moist rai
sin, put it on thocorn. This hascurcd

"Soak tho foot two or threo times a

of fresh cotton each timo between tho
toes, saturated with olive oil. Renew
tho oil dnily. This application will
cure hard corns on tho toes. Cut a
holoto fit tho corn inn pioco of soft
buckskin, or several thicknesses of cot
ton cloth; put on fresh oil daily or
oftoner. In a week or more tho core
can bo nulled out, not cut." F. S.
says: "featuratoapiecoof cotton cloth
with turpentine and wrap it around
tho too when you go to bod. Repent
this a fow nights nnd tho corn will dis
nppojir." G, B.O. has cured soft corns
by simply wonring a piece of black silk
wrapped about tfiYm.
Curing Wild-Beasts.
Visitors to tho Zoological Garden
luring tho last week have been struck
vith tho general air of debility among
nost of the animals. Nearly all of
;hem cither moved about listlessly or
ilso moped in comers nnd refused to
novo at all. Tho chimpanzeo kept
ler blnnket tightly drawn around her
moulders all through tho week, and no
lainty could tempt her to leave her
avonte corner. Even the monkeys
vero less clamorous for favors and tho
.oothsomo pennut palled on their usu
illy insatiable appetite, 'fho larger
inimals, and especially tho carnivora,
iiiffcred even moro than tho littlo ani
nals. Tho lions and leopards stopped
;heir ceaseless promenade and lay all
lay long with their noses between their
paws watching events through their
lalf-opcn eyelids. Superintendent
Brown explained this state of apathy
imong the animals.
"Thero. has been moro sickness
imong tho animals during the past
vcek than nt any timo in tho history
jf tho garden," ho said. Contra
ry to tho rule, there was very
ittlo suffering among them during tho
leated spell, but as soon as thebreak
il) came, nnd tho mercury took such a
;erriblo tumble, nearly every animal
'olttho effect of thcclmnge, and almost
i majority of them wero taken sick.
Tho camels wero the greatest sufferers.
Every ono in thogarden was prostrated
vith dyspepsia nnd a general derango
nont of the alimentary canal. Ono of
;hom is still very ill, nnd it is not ex
acctcd that ho will recover. Threo or
Jour of tho carnivora aro sick and one
jfthopumas were very ill with cholera
morbus. Ho refused to tako any
nourishment, nnd tho only thing ho
:ould bo induced to tako was an oc
jasiQiial swallow of water. Wo tried
'or two days to give him a doso of bis
muth and opium, but wo had to give it
ip. Tho medicines were diluted with
vnter until it was impossiblo. for tho
numnnpnlato to dJtJct thoir presence,
but tho puma discovered it at tho first
mill anil refused to touch it. Ho
lidn't eat a morsel for fivo days, but
ho is coming around all right now.
t last ho consented to eat a nicely
broiled spring chicken, and I think ho
will be himself again in a few days.
Another puma was greatly prostrated,
ind I am afraid ho is too old to rally.
Bennett's wallaby, a variety of tho
tangaroo, caught a severe cold at tho
Mine of tho sudden change and died,
iftcr a brief illness, of pneumonia.
Dno of tho sea lions was prostrated
by tho heat just before the cold wnva
:amo, and probably died of congest
on of tho brain. I mndo a post-mor-iem
examination of his body, and
sould find no other cause of death.
Tho chimpanzeo was nlso sovcrcly nf
lected by tho change. Sho caught a
:old in her head and refused to eat
anything except an occasional pieco of
banana or orange. Wo havo had her
for threo yours, and this is only tho
second tim that sho has been ill.
During theso spells of sickness we treat
her tho samo as any human invalid.
Wo never try to lorco her to ent, but
limply wait, until nature asserts ifc
olf, and then tempt her returning np
potito with any littlo delicacy sho
might cravo. At ono timo sho went
threo weeks without tasting a morsel,
jxcopt a few pieces of fruit, but when
aer appetito returned sho ato liko a
pig. Many of tho small animals nro
ioriously indisposed, but most of t hem
iro simply suffering with disordered
stomachs and loss of appetite.
"In caring for sick animnls wo gener
ally rely on tho ordinary veterinary
treatment. Wo uso very littlo mcdi
;ine, beyond an occasional tonic, ns
cringent, or lnxativo. In many cases
tho ndministering of medicines
tvorks moro Ivjjrm than good. I
Ind our best reliance to bein careful
ivatching and dioting. Asido from tho
Inrm tho medicines might do a wild
animal thero aro other considerations
igainst ndministering thorn that aro
much mora important. In tho first
placo it is hard to tell what is tho mot
tor with a wild animal whon it is simply
off its feed. It is not practicable to
feel its pulso, listen to tho beating of
Ins heart, and do various other things
usual in diagnosing a caso in a human
being.
"It is generally a wild guess in de
termining what ails a wild boast.
When you havo decided what ails it,
however, tho next question is, 'What
shall I givo it?' Drugs havo a different
effect on different animals. A doso
that would kill ono animal will havo
no offeet on another. But, oven if you
know what to givo it, tho next and
most serious question arises, 'How
shall I administer tho medicine?'
"Tho greatest dttllculty. of courso, is
mot with in giving medicine to the
larger animnls. Tho process is always
attended with danger, and in many
instances tho patient dies cither from
fright or shock to its nervous system.
In order to administer a dose of modi
cino to a wild beast it is necessary to
bind it down with ropes, nnd when it
is firmly secured drench it in tho way
practiced in dosing horses. This treat
ment always results in a severe shock
to tho animal's nerves nnd frequently
produces death. A wild animal will
not permit itself to bo handled liko a
domesticated nuimnl. It will always
,nsh itself into a fury, and m this lies
tho danger of overcoming it by rough
measures; ana still tiusistnooniy way ,
that it can bo dosed.
"Their sense of taste is so perfectly '
developed that thoy can detect any
foreign substnnco on tho instant and
will refuse to touch their food. Of
course, it is often necessary to throw
animals for tho purpose of cutting
thoir claws or paring their hoofs or
making any surgical operation, but
wo always employ a great deal of wire
in securmg the unimal.
"Revontly wo had occasion to throw
a zebra, and it took seven men to ac
complish it without injury o tho uni
mal. A full-grown ennuu oi.n kick as
hard as n whole train of government
mules. Many animals we can't bun
dle at all. For instance, you ain't
lasso a polar bear, as his neck nnd
ankles are larger than his head or
feet, and tho ropo would naturally
slip oil as fiint ns you could slip it on.
The elephant is the hardest beast to j
throw, but it is less subject to nervous
shock than the other wild animals."

THE CUKSE OP DRINK.
Die Inventor of i Noted FIre-Kxtlngtilalicf
h I'tmpcr.
Recently tho almshouse ha3 num
bered among its inmates an old, gray
headed man, of nbout 08 years of nge,
appenrently in the Inst stages of chron
ic alcoholism, nnd presg nting in every
respect tho appearances of complete
physical, i not mental, decrepitude.
Yet, if tho story told by tho aged pau
per be true, ho has in times past oc
cupied afar different position, his
name being familiar throughout tho
length nnd breath of the United States
as. that of the inventor of tho Bab
cock fire-extinguisher. To tin inter
viewer who isited him at-thoalms
house ho gayo a sketch of his life his
tory, beginning with his birth at Roch
ester, N. Y., in 1817, from which place,
at tho nge of 5, he removed with his
parents to Mount Vernon, Iowa, and
later to Mansfield in tho samo state.
At the nge of 21 he graduated from
the Pennsylvania University of Med
icine, but did not practice, entering in
stead into tho mercantile business, at
first in partnership with his father at
Indianapolis, Ind., later on his
own account in Dayton, 0. Ho
was very successful for eight
years, but in 18 4 his good fortune
deserted him, and after suffering a
number of reverses he went into liquid
ation. Going to New York, ho secured
a position ns a dry goods clerk and
remained there two years, during which
timo ho married. Going back to In
dianapolis, ho purchased with his sav
ings an interest in his father's busi
ness, and for six years was quite suc
cessful. At the end of this timo reverses
again assailed him nnd he retired from
btisiness with but $2,000.
Whilo in Indianapolis, however, in
1SG0, he had patented the fire-extinguisher,
which grew out of his exper
iments m chemistry, for which ho al
ways had a taste, and after his failure
ho endeavored to do something in tho
way of disposing of it, whilo acting as
traveling agent for somo Cincinnati
tobacco and liquor firm, but met at
first with but poor success. However,
about a. year later, he leased tho right
to manufacture and sell tho extinguish
er to Peabody & Co., of Chicago, for
fivo years at $f,000 a year, and im
mediately thereafter came to San
Francisco. Ho ran the old Buckeye
hotel, on Market street, for a while,
practicing medicine also, but, being
binned out, removed first to Oak
land nnd afterward to Peta luma
where ho kept a store for a while, finnlly
failing. Ho retrieved himself by suc
cessfully speculating in Monterey lands
with his annuity, and about this timo
lost his wife, which bereavement im
mediately preceded the first step of
his downward career, sinco it led him
to try nnd drown his sorrows in drink.
Having onco entered upon the path of
vico, ho pursued it to the end, spend
ing tho proceeds of his annuities in
drink. Before entering upon theuown
ward course, however, with the mon--ey
derived from his land speculations
ho purchased farms in Yamhill county,
Oregon, for his daughter and each of
his thrco sons, where, ho believes, they
aro all now living in prosperous cir
cumstauces, though shnmo has pre
vented him from applying to them of
lato for assistance. Ho wns first sent,
to tho almshouse threo years ago, re
maining for six months, and being
ngain sent out in July of last year.
Between times ho has wandered about
the country, and tho writer remembers
seeing him in 188U, wandering about
tho streets of Santa Rosa, Sonoma
county, in the lowest stages of drunk
en pnuporism, his arrest for vagrancy,
etc., being a regular weekly occurenco
for some months. San Francisco Call.
The Power of Morphine.
From tho Boston Post.
A storekeeper in a certain New
Hampshire town hns for some daya
been on tho verge of having 'em, and
has been letting up on whisky and tak
ing morphine powders. Tho other
night somo of tho boys killed a rattlo
snako nnd caught two or threostriped
snakes, a couple of frogs, n, turtle or
two, and about dusk set them in front
of tho store. Then the storekeeper was
quietly inveigled to tho door and led
into conversation. Presently his eye
alighted on ono of tho snakes. Look
ing about ho saw another. But ho
kept on with the conversation. Then
a turtlo caught his eye, and then a
frog, nnd then nnother snnke. But ho
nover weakened a bit till ho saw tho
rattier twined nround a lamp-post.
That settled him. "You must excuse
mo a minute," ho said, and ho went
into tho store and took a morphine
powdor. While ho was gono the boys
took thosnakesaway. Hocanioback,
took a satisfied look nround, nnd said,
"Morphine's n great thing, isn't it?"
From the, Town Records of Sa

some quaint nnd curious entries, ns
that in July, 113 11, "that twoo bo ap
