Capture of a Churchy ird Ghost.
Frn)n the CardijT Weekly MiiiU
Recently ghost alarms have been very
common in the potteries and adjoining
districts, and considerable i xeiiemem
was caused one night this week alter 11
o’clock by the mysterious movements oi
a figure clad in white,among the tombs in
•Stietton cuurchyaid, near Hanley. The
nocturnal visitor was watched by a large
crowd, who completely blocked the adja
cent thoroughfares. For some time me
“ghost” was permitted io conduct his
peculiar perambulations unmolested, but
ultimately two members ol tin; crowd
more daring than lhe rest, mustered
courage enough to approach the figure.
A closer inspection convinced these per
sons that so lar from being the shadowy,
etueral spirit which is said to have visited
other churchyards in the district, the
ghostly visitant ot the burial ground was
a really tangible body.
'Ttie snow-white li ure displayed much
uneasiness on Ibe approach of the two
active men, whose measures lor its cap
ture were not to ho circumvented. Flignt
was useless and dissolution In thin air
impossible. So Edward Hauptmann, a
Corporal in the Hanley Volunteers, had
to quietly submit to the unpleasant pro
c as ot being led into tne crowd he had
done bis best to terrily, and alterw arij to
the more disagreeable. xperience of being
lodged in the Hanley police cells by
Police Constable Smite, to whom he v. as

The operator bad secured a woman’s

ingeniously held b tore him, expanding
it by his arms, aud by this means h sue

Incidents in Lincoln’s Life.
From the Philadelphia Press.
After one of the receptions at the White
House Judge Peck was walking up and
down tbe East room with Mr. Lincoln,
wno looked exceedingly sad and every
now and then threw out his arm with a
pathetic gesture. The Judge said: “Mr.
President, may 1 inquire what distresses
you to-night?” “Oh. Judge,” he said, as
he clasped closer the Judge’s arm, “this
is Fi -day, black Friday, hangman’s day.
Ibe day they execute larmers’ boys lor
tailing asleep at their posts down on toe
Potomao. If I say anything they say I
interiere with army discipline. Oil, I
can’t bear it; I can’t bear It.”
Once I heard certain politicians advise
him to prevaricate on a certain subject;
lie said: “Now, gentlemen, it is of no use,
I can’t lie, I’ve tried it, and I always
make a lailure.”
Alter I had been in Washington some
time my husband, an army officer, was
ordered to Hilton Head and I desired to
I-.llow him. 1 applied to Mr. alanton tor
permission to do so ami was refused. 1
told Mr. Lincoln, and he wrote me this
note:
Dear Stanton: Mrs. is a personal
friend of mine, aud if not very tiaugeroub to
the public welfare, f wish you would give
her a permit to visit her husband.
Lincoln.
Tbo permit was refused.
1 remained in Washington till near the
cloaeoi tbe war. About November, be
fore the assassination, Judge Peck went
to Mr. Liucoln, who was slaying out at
ttie cottage, and said: “Mr. President,
Gen. liumer and 1 both leel uneasy to
have you nere without a guard.”
“Now Peck,” said he, “noone wants to
kill me; Hamlin is a great deal worse
than 1 am. lie’s a black abolit onist.
What good would my death do anybody?
Results, I can’t always be thinking of
death. Our soldiers look the grim mon
ster iu Uie face daily; why shouldn’t 1?
Now you want me to ride with six of
those tali fellows to tbe front of me, and
six to the rear, like old Frederick, 1 sup
pos. ?”
“Yes, and six on each side of you, too,
for that matter. Now, Mr. Lincoln, il
you don’t object, we shall place an unob
trusive guard over you ”
It was done; no one feared assassina
tion, only abduction was anticipated.
Thu result is well Known.
Mr. Armour’s Methods.
From the Philadelphia. Times,
The only man at all tit to cope with the
Wall street bulls and bears is that prince
ol Western speculators, Phil D. Armour,
of Chicago. Since first he w.m reap ct
from them, by virtue of tbe thousands he
wrested from tbeir bands, be lias held to
his own policy in spite.if everything they
have done, and his own poliuy has paid.
In two hours last Wednesday, while bis
railway stocks held their own unsup
porie.l, he threw something over 1,000,000
bushels of wheat that he bad been hold
ing on the Chicago market, realizing 10
per cent, profit on it ali. The price re
ceived lor it was a little over 83c., and
the variest scuoolboy can figure out Ar
mour’s gain on the deal without any
great trouble. Armour now owns and is
earning carrying charges by shrewd bui
quiet deals on 7,000,000 bushels of the
wheat at Chicago and 5,000,000 bushels of
the wheat at Duluth anil Milwaukee,
His methods are the quiok but quiet
methods ol Mr. Gould, aud when he once
starts out to rai-e or depress a sioek the
fellows who try to knock bun out usually
wander around afterward inquiring who
else tne cyclone struck.
