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 handed over by his captors.

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.
