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.
