A JAPANESE GHOST MYTH.
In \V h:ch it is Illustrated How Love
Conquers Death,
from I?te Overland Monthly for October.
Once upon a time there lived in the city
of Kyoto, a poor samurai, who could find
no employment or means of support. On
account of his poverty he determined one
day to go with a friend to a distant prov
ince. Now. this friend had just been ap
pointed Governor of the province and prom
mised, when they arrived, that he would
find work for him to do.
This samurai had been married to a young,
pretty, and charming lady; but misfortunes
overtook him, and when his wealth was lost
he divorced his young wile, and alas, after
a brief interval, espoused the daughter of a
•well-to-do nobleman; and now, starting on
his travels from the old city of Kyoto, this
second wife journeyed with him. After
many months had passed he became a rich
and honored man and then began to long
for his first fair wife, whose gentle ways
and graceful form were ever in his mind.
The remembrance that he had driven hPr
from him in poverty and sorrow, and her
patient resignation, gentle# obedience and
frilling tears, cut him to the heart. He felt
that be must see her once again, no matter
how tar the journey. His constant thoughts
were: ‘'What is she doing now? Where
js she to-day? Does she still remember
her unfaithful husband who drove her from
his side?” —All the old love blazed up anew,
and his one hope was to return to the old
home.
Just at this time, his kind patron, the
Governor, was called to Kyoto, and the sam
urai learned with delight that he was to ac
company him. Only a few days passed on
the journey, and yet they seemed like so
many centuries of time. At night he could
not rest, for he was forever torturing him
self with the thought that he had sent her
away from him without any just cause, and
more than this, that since that duy he had
never made any loving inquiries about her.
Go soon as the Governor and his suite ar
rived in Kyoto, the samurai, still in travel
ing costume, hurried to the place where his
lonise had stood so long ago. The gate
was bolted and everything looked neglected
and distresssing. The house itself seemed
deserted as though no living being occupied
it. “Unhappy wife,” thought lie, “how
great have been thy sorrows,” and he wept
bitterly. It was at the close of the Novem
ber month, and night had settled upon the
place as he stepped across the well-known
threshold. The pale moonbeams shone
through crevices in the walls, and the night
wind sighed as it circled round the lonely
dwelling.
Startled, yet determined, ho entered the
room where formerly he had spent so many
happy hours with the loveliest of waves, and
there, see! in the corner, bending above the
hearth, stood his dear, lost wife. She was
quite alone, and a strange silence pervad
ed the room. Roused from her dreamy
thoughts by his footfall, the poor lady saw
before her the husband she still loved so
dearly, and without a word of reproach, her
face beaming with joy, she sprang towards
him.
“Ah, my beloved one,” she exclaimed,
“whence contest thou, and what brings thee
to me ?”
“I have been far from here,” he answer
ed, “but my heart has never forgotten its
love. I come back now, patient wife, to
turn thy sorrow into joy; from this time
thou shalt never leave me, and I will keep
tliee and cherish thee until I die. I have
not come to tell thee the story of the years
away fr om thee, but to make penance for
the wrong I have done thee and implore
thy forgiveness.” These tender words made
the poor wife exceedingly happy and she
entreated him to sit at her side, and then
began mutual confidence in which they
spoke of the incidents of their sad separa
tion.
Every where the samurai observed evi
dences of the greatest poverty
“Hast thou no one to help thee?” he
asked.
“No,” she softly replied. “No one has
has been in the house except myself, for I
am very poor.”
The whole night slipped by in questions
and answers and tender plans for the future.
Sleep did not visit their eyelids until the
gray dawn.
The sun stood far above the horizon when
the samurai awoke. He raised himself to
look at his beloved, still sleeping wife; but
who can describe his horror when he saw
the stiff outline of a crumbling corpse in
stead of a being warm with life. “My
eyes deceive me,” he thought, and again
gazed upon the terrible figure. Alas, at his
side lay only a corpse. Half dead with fear,
he ran out of the ghastly chamber and soon
reached a neighbor’s and welling. In answer
to his loud knocking, the owner of the house
came to the door; and when the almost
breathless samurai asked:
“Who lives in yonder house?” ho an
swered.
“No one, the house is quite deserted.”
“Are you quite sure,” said the sam
urai.
“Certainly," replied the neighbor, “some
time ago there lived there a poor lady who
had been separated from her husband.
The husband went to distant province aud
left her in great poverty. She mourned
for him so constantly that she became se
iously ill; but as no one offered to help her
she died alone there last summer, and so
far as I know, her corpse may still be there,
for no one offered to pay her furneral ex
penses.”
A great fear fell upon the samurai, upon
hearing these words, and he fled like one
crazed with terror, for now he knew
what had happened. The dead wife had
not forgotten her love even in that land
beyond the grave, and the gods had per
mitted her spirit to stay on earth until her
husband came back for forgiveness. A sad
story!
LEPROSY IN ST. LOUIS.
A Woman of Vigorous Constitution
Afflicted With the Disease.
From the Philadelphia News.
St. Louis, Oct. 29.—A well defined case
of leprosy has been discovered in this city
by Dr. Obmann-Dumesml, the famous au
thority on skin diseases. The patient. Eliz
abeth Creighton, is a small woman, of bru
nette complexion and vigorous constitution.
Her husband is a laboring man, and is now
working for the Missouri Pacific Company
in SedaLia. She hus had two children, a boy
and a girl. She was married at 19, and a
year later the disease manifested itself, and
began to cause her great discomfort. l>arge
various colored blotches appeared on the
skin of her face, hand3, feet, arms and an
kles, burning and itching. She was
then engaged in housework with
a family living on Dayton
street, but she became so ill that, after try
ing a number of simple remedies lor skin
eruptions, she had to quit her position and
stay at her home on Cass avenue. For tho
next four years she consulted various physi
cians and received treatment from them,
but was never told what the disease was nor
benefited. The spot of irritation grew
steadily, continually involving more sur
face. Tho constitutional effects varied.
Sometimes she felt herself well enough to
work and did so, but most of tho time she
remained at home. Her boy died of diph
theria, and her girl was born healthly and
with no trace of the disease from which the
mother vvas suffering. This child has since
grown to the age of 5 years, and has yet
shown no sign that she has inherited the
disease.
Mrs. Creighton was rapidly growing
w orse, and was beginning to spend most of
her time In lied, when Dr. Ohmann-Du
mesnil heard of tho case through tiie hus
band, and became enough interested to take
it in charge. He had been visiting the pa
tient only a few days when he diagnosed
the case as leprosy, and from that time he
redoubled his attention and treated the
woman for leprosy. He found that the
disease had become so far advanced that it
was possible to note many of the
symptoms which are inseperab.e from it,
and are found in no other pathological
case. The uorves had entirely lost their
sensitiveness’ in the parts affected, which
had assumed a condition of antesthesin
The flesh was insensible to pain. The woman
frequently, in attending to her household
duties, burned her hands about the kitchen,
and did not know it until she saw the
blister. A needle could be driven into the
flesh of her face and she would not know it.
The patches of flesh involved in the leprosy
assumed scabs, which peeled oft’ at the
touch.
“The case is not of special interest, to phy
sicians because it is leprosy,” said Dr. Oii
mann-Dumesml, “but b cause it is the first
case of the disease that has ever been known
in Missouri and in Bt. Louis. Leprosy before
this has been discovered only among
tiie Chineses of San Francisco and New
York; the Norwegians of the Northwestern
States and Territories and the Louisiana
negroes. All of this has been imported into
this country. I don't know how this wo
man got the disease. She is American for
two generations, has lived all of her life in
this country, and most of it in St. Louis.
She came here originally from Mississippi.
I cannot find that she has ever come in con
tact with leprosy in any place where she
has been. The case involves no danger to
the public health, as leprosy is not contar
gious.”
A HIGH-NECK WINTER.
The Mistress of the White House Will
Set Fashions for Washington.
Washington, Oct. 30. —The Evening
Critic's society column to-day contains the
following: “The winter on the eve of a
Presidential nomination is always a gay
one, so it is pretty well defined that the
coming one must be a success. Next month
will witness an extraordinary activity iu
home hunting. There are not many who
will entertain as magnificently as Mrs.
Whitney, though two or three Northern
ladies who intend setting up their house
hold goods here this winter come for no
other purpose. All those are delicious bits
of intelligence for that large and ever in
creasing class of insatiate party goers—
never party givers.
This, too, is the time of year when so
ciety people long for a change in the old
established order of things. All agree now
that afternoon tea crushes are a failure. No
body is pleased at the attempt to widen the
conventional half-dozen congenial poople
about a tea table into a wild attempt to en
tertain as many hundreds. They are crying
out for a change. Nobody is able to invent
anything to fill its place and also fulfill
one's social obligations. Early hours are
another of the reforms by which even the
gayest set would willingly abide if only
somebody with prominence enough would
take the stand. Hostesses are tired of being
obliged to wait, for their invited guests until
10 o'clock, and often half past it. Asa rule
they go to sleep meanwhile, and it is trying
to one’s temper to have to wake up at that
seasonable hour when their neighbors are
going to bed.
A Keen little lady, who usually tells the
sigus of the times pretty well, insists that
this is to be a high neck winter. The social
statutes in London establish the line at
which one’s gown must be cut, and no lady
dares to present herself at court unless this
rule has been strictly followed. It follows
that watever the fair mistress of the White
House ordains should and will receive as
wide a significance. She administered a
gentle but wholesome rebuke to the wearers
of the extraordinary low-cut gowns here by
having her own cut modestly and becom
ingly. It is also quite in keeping
with the views of the best and most artis
tic designers or creators of feminine
fashions, but who have found their taste
laid aside to gratify their customer's desire
for the species of unwomanly and unwhole
some notoriety. Mi's. Cleveland being on
the side of this very important reform, it is
fair to presume that her example and en
couragement will go further than any other
force at the present hour. On the whole,
while with the exceptions named there are
not many radical changes talked about, it is
safe to presume that this is not the year to
start the ticket system to keep uninvited folks
from the parties. In political life those who
are entertaining are doing it for a purpose,
and it will not make much difference if a
stray goat here and there runs in with the
sheep. It is pretty well understood that the
few who ent Ttain so liberally are painful
thorns in the flesh of man}' others, who
want to do something for themselves, but
hate the dreadful contrast. One of the
more prominent biddei-s for the Republican
Presidential nomination is engineering
quietly among the dinner-givers, not to
offer more than three brands of champagne
at one feast. What success he is having has
not yet transpired.
Why Mike Used the Other End.
From the New York Star.
“Speaking of queer cases that have come
before me,” said Mr. Pye, the ex-superinten
dent of the Brooklyn Society for the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals, “there is
one I can never forget, for the accused, who
was an ignorant, hard-working farmhand,
by his quick wit saved himself from impris
onment for cruelly killing a valuable bull
dog.
“One of the wealthiest and most Influen
tial members of the Brooklyn branch of the
society called upon me one morning in high
dudgeon. He was the possessor of a valu
able brindle bulldog, which had been sent
to him from England He had it taken to
his farm at Glen Cove, where the animal
soon won his laurels as a watch dog. When
let loose at night, no matter who entered
the grounds, unless some inmate came from
the house, the dog would just spring upon
them and hold them until their cries for
help were answered.
“Next door to the gentleman’s country
residence was another owned by an equally
wealthy man, in whose employ was Mike
Fint rty, a hard, plodding, sturdy farm
hand. He had been warned about the bull
dog in the grounds adjoining aud had not
bothered about him. He was up before day
break one morning, tending to the horses
and stabling, when one of his employer’s
favorite colts broke away and started for a
run. Mike, pitchfork in hand, ran after
the colt, which made a straight line for the
adjoining premises. The noise made by the
stampeding colt and Mike startled the bull
dog, who sprang forward and caught Mike
by his coarse, rough pantaloons. Mike says
he 'roared to the baste to let go,’ hut as it
would not he struck it with one of the
prongs of tho pitchfork. This only enraged
the dog the more, and it flew at Mike, bit
ing him in the thigh and tearing a piece out
of one of his hands. Mike, realizing his dan
ger, literally speared the vicious brute to
death.”
“It was for this,” said Mr. Pye, “that I
arrested him. I took him to the Court
II use, where, on the day of trial, his mas
ter and the conn lainant were present, be
sides a number of witnesses to prove the
viciousness of the dog.”
“The Justice after hearing all sides, called
up Mike and began to question him. Mike
toll a straightforward, simple story.
‘“Why didn’t you,’asked the Justice of
Mike, ‘liso the other end of the pitchfork?”
“‘Your Honor! why didn’t the dog come
at me with his other end!’
“There was a roar of laughter in the
court room,” said Mr. Pye, "in which the
judge, complainant, myself, everybody
joined in, and the ease vvas promptly dis
missed.”
Hideous in Every Guise,
Whether it be the best known form, chills and
fever, or else bilious remittent, double ague or
ague cake, is that abominable disorder involv
ing the liver the bowels and the kidneys, known
as malaria. Every complaint classified under
this generic, though erroneous appellation, is
destructive of the nervous system, but is, un
happily, not, to be subdued, or even checked, by
the use of ordinary nervines, febrifuges or
tonics. There is, however, prompt relief and
ultimate cure to lie found in Hostettcr's Stomach
Bitters, foremost among the proprietary reme
dies of America, and widely known in other
lands. Not only diseases born of miasma, but
rheumatic complaints, superinduced by ex
posure in Pad weather, inherited of
mom-red debility of tbo kidneys or
bladder, dyspepsia and an irregular
oudi tion of bowels, are curable—nay. certain to
ce cured by this deservedly esteemed and pror
bossionaUy sanctioned corrective.
