r 3 c!o Jerry and His Experiences With
imaginary Occupants of the Garret.
From the Washington Star.
It may be remembered that the country
startled one Saturday night a few
*"ek3 ago by the news flashing over the
from this city that the flag on the
„f,ite house was at half-mast, but it was
before word was sent out, to calm
.otrehension, to the effect that the in
*Hent '-'as due to the carelessness
the colored servant, a part of whose duty
jt ‘ is to raise and lo *er toe flag. There had
Lea a concert on the lawn by the Marine
band the flag always being raised on such
occ sions, and Uncle Jerry, the servant,
bad ie the flag fall half way while waiting
for the last note of the band’s last piece,
a ,.j there it hung just long enough to
attract attention and to give rise to rumors.
Xhis was satisfactory to tne public, but the
real reason, the true inwardness of the inci
dent, is not generally known.
Jerry is quite a character in his way—a
polite, good-humored colored man who
manages to keep a smiling exterior,
although !e is usually in great physical
pain from “rbeumatiz.” His courtly man
ners and his low (rows have gained for hitn
the name of “L rd Chesterfield,” and he is
sometimes addressed aa “my lord” or
some other fantastic title, all of
which pleases Jerry beyond measure
and usually stars a chuckle that
lasts a whole day. He is witty
and unusually original, and his appearance
in the lobby of the mansion is almost sure
to be ihe signal for bursts of laughter at
s ime odd lemark that comes in ahead of
him as he grunts his way up the stairs. He
is fond of titles an i distributes them with a
lavish tongue, while bis acquaintance with
public men and women is rather remark
able until one is told that he has been a
white house fixture for over twenty years.
HAUNTED IIV PRESIDENTIAL SPIRITS.
Jerry, like a majority of nls race, is ex
tremely superstitious. He is a firm believer
i„ ghosts and their appurtenances, and he
tins a fu and of stones about these uncanny
tnings that afford immense entertainment
f or those around him. but there is oie idea
that has grown into Jerry’s brain and is now
a part of it, resisting the effects of ridicule,
laughter, argument or explanation. He
firmly believes that the white house is
hau ted by the spirits of all the departed
presidents," and,' furthermore, that his
satamc majesty, the devil, has his abode
in the att.c. He cannot be persuaded out of
the notion, aud at intervals he strengthens
his position by telling about gome new
strange noise he has beard or some ad
ditional evide ce he has secured.
WHY THE FLAG WAS AT HALF-MAST.
This is whv the flag was at half-mast that
Saturday. Uncle Jerry was aware of the
fart that by the time Prof. Sousa’s baton
fell on the last beat the sha lows were pretty
long over the lawn and that the way down
through the garret into the house was dark
and gruesome. His blood chilled at the
prospect of making that journey, and he
shivered. To save time he let the flag slip
down ttie ma<t, so that when the time came
it would require but a pull to get it clear
down, aud so he w >uld save a few precious
seconds of blessed light. Whe Ine did get
the rope untied v\ i.h trembling fingers, and
all was made fast, ho gathered t e flag in
his arms, aud, with a call on the enemies of
diabolism for aid and protection, he fled
down the narrow stairway.
Jerry does not like to talk about this inci
dent. He claims that the halyards slipped
and thus let tuo flag down, but those ac
quainted with him say that the real reason
was as stated above. He admits, however,
that the garret is uncanny, and says with a
fervid roiling of his eyes and a lifeingof his
hands: “ludoed an’ ’deed, gemuien, 1
woulden’go into dat garret alone at night ’f
you’d gimme de whole treasury ’partment.”
This is Jerry’s platform, from which noth
ing, not even the promise of unlimited
wealth, could budge him. He is couvinced
that tne figures in the presidential portraits
step down from iheir frames every night
aud hold high shadowy carnival in the rooms
wliere they o. ce moved in bodily substance,
and, strangely enough, he attributes to
them tne most belligerent of qualities, so
that at one time ho provided himself with
a large baseball bat, which he “kept handy”
for use in case any of these relics of Amer
ican history should molest him in the en
forcement of his twilight duties.
HE BEGGED OFF.
On one occasion before the elevator was
put in place a thunder-storm arose in the
evening aud it became necessary to send
someone up stairs to shut the skylight in
the ro-.f, which hud been left open. (Japt.
Densmore told Jerry to go, but the latter
immediately began to beg off.
“Now you gnu’ly woulden’ make ni9 go
upyonder,” he said, “where all dem thiugs
is, would you’? I knows 01’ Abe and all de
rest of dem fellers is walking ’round dir,
an’ 1 aint gwine to resit myse’f inde regions
near ’em. Yo’ go an’ I’ll stan’ by de do’ an’
hoi’ de bat soze to knock ’em ef dey tries to
nab yo’.” Nothing could persuade him.
He declared that he would do anything on
earth tor the cap.ain, but to go through the
garret at that time of the evening was an
impossibility.
THE HOUSE-KEEPER AND THE “KER BLAM.”
One of Jerry’s best stories is how he and
Mrs. Mullen, the housekeeper during the
Gra.,t administration, cleaned up the gar
ret. It seems that Mr. Dent, Mrs. Grant’s
father, had a lot of old traps and books that
had been stowed away promiscuously iu
the attic, and one day the house—cieauing
spirit took hard hold upon Mrs. Mulien and
she managed, after a good deal of coaxing,
to get Jerry to help her straighten up those
things.
“It was now’ful hot up there,” says Jerry,
rubbing his hands, “so hot nothin’ could
, • No mic °. do rats, no moths, nothin’,
an ef yu’ wanted to save anything a# yo’
had ter do whs ter put ’em up in de garret.
u , u , z so pow’ful hot it nigh laid Jerry out,
an de old ’o nan she kep’ on a ’worsin red
dim up de books, growlin’ a ay and findin’
xauit and geitin’ mo’ pestered ev’y minnit,
when, ker blam! yere comes somefl i, de
bawd knows what, and she tuk an’give a
yell an went down ’a stairs a’flyin’. Gen
termeus, she made tracks, I tell yo’,” and
Jerry puts his bauds on his sides and laughs
neatly but visibly in remembrance of Mrs.
" eill K froin lhe "ker blam.”
•*nr? at was ? t * Jerry P someone asked.
~,-" hat was i' ?” he repeated scornfully,
nf te lu ! l a 'n’ r - I ain’t sayin’ no names
anythin. De ole’om4fi always says it
was de devil, and, Lawd knows! she must
er kuowed f r she run mighty quick.”
"Did she leave you up tnere?’ was the in
nocent query.
v. Leave wno darP he exclaimed, raising
jus e y e b rows and hands simultaneously,
“-no, now, what yo’ take ine for? Why
*Ti! 1 lO J her down,” and Jerry was off in
nother of his paroxysms of glee. Mr .
MUlien he says, gave him a dollar to keep
quiet about the incident, but be does not
• uple to tell it now, for the lady has long
■ice passed a \ ay from earthly scares, and
erry has come to believe that Mrs. Mullen
now a resident of the garret herself.
HOW VAN BUREN GOT MAD.
On the day the Washington monument
dedicated, in February, 1885, a large
Portrait °* Martin Va i Buren happens l to
reak its rotten hanging cerd ad feU to
tne floor in one of the parlors. The noise
j■■lute in honor of the occasion of
i .'"cation came through the windows and
J Hoed with the crash of the picture’s fall,
1 1 " ]s possible that the concussion of the
sc large nad some influence in the collapse.
fw“L rate Uncle Jerry came running to
an.H / ,™Tiore with a scared ashen face
and t°id him about the accident.

Mutable to hun only when the bright sun-
light is (’reaming through the windows and j
penetrating every dark corner. 8 me oi e
asked him the < thor day if he would venture
in the garret at night, aud he replied:
“Lawd bless y<>’, honey. I’d ruthe be in a

OYSTERS IN THE NURSERY.
Baby Bivalves Raised by Hand-
Gigantic Clams and Florida Croco
diles.
From the Washington Star.
“Did you ever see an oyster ii the nur
sary ?"’ a-ked the fish dealer of a reporter.
“No? Well, then, come this way, and I’ll
show you my prira teincubator. It’s just a
little tank, you see, filled with water: there
are about l.OJO,oooyoung oysters iu it. Take
a It ok at them.”
The newspaper man bent his gaze wit hin
the little glass aquarium and looked about
with eager, though vain, scrutiny for the
in fan t bivalves.
“I don’t see he said, “but one
big oyster shell.”
“That big shell is the kindergarten,” re
plied the fish man. “There are about a
million baby oysters on it at this moment.
You cannot see them, no matter how close
ly you look, for they are quite microscopic,
but they are there all the same and growing
fast. A mon ;h hence they will be visible to the
naked eye. This is a little experiment I
am making in tne scie ce of oyster cu.ttire.
I have fresn water flowing through tiieta .k
all the time, and a little salt water running
in also to give the effect of a tide water
river. For the first few days after they a: e
spawned oysters have no shells and just float
around on their own hook. Then they at
tach themselves to something and the shells
begin to grow. That big shell is put
in for them to hitch on to.”
A FEAST FOR THE FUTURE.
“You say that I shall be able to see those
baby oysters a mouth hence,” said t he re
porter. “Pray, how long will it i e before I
can eat them with satisfaction in a stow f"
“They ought to be big enough, for stew
ing two years from now,” responded the
fishmonger. “But if you want a fry you
will have to wait a year longer. Am-rican
oysters grow twice as fast as the European
varieties, besides being six times as well
flavored.”
“When this invisible million here has at
tained full frying size you will have quite a
bod.”
“Yes, indeed. And, if you wi ! l consider
that at every spawning each oyster pro
duces a million or so of young, you will
perceive tnat before long I shall be in a po
sition to supply all the markets of the
world. (Juder natural conditions, of course,
only a few out of each myraid of oysters
actually reach maturity. They have count
less enemies, and even when full grown
they are destroyed iu wholesale fashion by
starfish. My incubat ir system, however,
w ill thoroughly protect tnem, so that nearly
all will grow up and be worth a penny
apiece retail. This tank no ion, expanded
to a gigan ic scale in real tide-water rivers,
will solve the problem tnat is earning t e
oyster men so much anxiety at present.
The oyster of the future, instead of being
cut off in infancy by devouring creatures of
the sea, will arrive at a luscious pri ne and
fulfill the highest object of its being oil the
deep half shell, with salt, pepper and lemon
juice ou the side.”
And the ichthyologist winked his left eye
as he signitied with a smack of his lips his
appreciation of the bivalvular delicacy.
“I met a person once at an oy-ter bar,”
ventured the newspaper man, “who was
was quite offended with mo because I did
uot hand him tne pepper caster until he
asked for it. And be demanded if 1 knew
who he was."
“ ‘No,’ I said, ‘I do not.’
“ ‘Well,’ he replied, swelling out his chest
with pride, ‘I am the man who eats clams
until the shells are piled around him up to
his knees 1’”
“That fellow ought to go and live among
the coral islands,” sugg sted the fishmon
ger, “whore clams grow to weigh 530 pounds
each. A few of those might afford him a
square meal.”
“But they are not good to eat, I suppose?”
‘ ‘Oh, yes, they are very good indeed. It is
the famous ‘giant clam’ I speak of that is
found imbedded in the coral. The meat of
one weigns twenty pounds, without the
shells, which are often five feet across.
Two of them are used in a Paris church, I
have heard, for holy water basins. They
are carved by the Chinese, too, iuto snuff
boxes and all sorts of ornamental things.”
“That’s curious,’’said the reporter. “The
fuumest kind of clam that I ever saw was
called a milk clam. I did not know what
it was when I picked it up— I was a small
boy then—in the shallow water I was wad
ing through. Having no other receptacle
at hand, I put itiutotae bosom of m v blue
flannel shirt, next to my skin, and went ou.
I had gone perhaps 100 yards when I felt a
most horrible sensation at about the region
of my little stomach, and, hastily pulling
open my shirt in trout, I threw out the
newly found clam upon the beach. Pre
sumably looking for water, it had actually
crawled entirely out of its shell, save for its
attachment thereto, bringing itself into
contact with my bare cuticle. I have re
alized ever since what a “clammy” sensa
tion is wit a distinctness not conceived by
most people.”
A REGULAR SQUIRT.
“I have heard of those fellows,” rejoined
the Ashman, “though I never saw one.
It is a comparatively rare variety. But
ttie queerest of all clams, I thiuk, is the
‘long clam,’ with the little neck, that
squa ts sait water at you from small holes
in the sand flats. The neck is as good a
siphon as thaton a seltzer bottle,and it Is also
used as a tube for breathing and feeding.
At the other ead it has a sort of foot, wit h
wuicb it can burrow very rapidly. I don’t
know a more wonderful instance in nature
of simplicity in organic construction adapted
to elaborate purposes These long clams
are said to have been the chief food of the
Pilgrim fathers during the first few months
after their arrival on the bleak New Eng
land shore. And, speaking of clams, would
you like me to show you a real live crocodile
from Florida?”
“I suppose you mean an alligator.”
“No, I don’t. This is a reai crocodile. He
is only a foot long, you see, aud warranted
not to bife. But, though I thought
myself thit he was an alligator
at first, a scientific customer
of mine who has some connec ion
with the Smithsonian explained to me that
he wasn’t. According to what he told me
there are two varieties of crocodiles in
Florida, as well as five varieties of alliga
tor. Tne crocodile aud the alligator are
first cousins, aud so much alike that it
takes an expert to tell them apart. But
while the alligator never growi to be inors
tban fifteen feet long t echo: dile sometime ,
attains double that size. The cr col tie is
also peculiar for h vi ig a taste for numan
flesh. In ancient Egypt, my Smithsonian
customer said, half uie people worshiped
the crocodile as a god, w ule the other half
believed him to be the devil. Many of the
reptiles were taken care of by the priests,
wuo adorned them with precious ornaments
aud even covered their scales with gold
leaf.
Breathing the Germs of Disease.
To inhale the germs of disease with their
daily breath is the fate of denizens of malaria
scourged localities everywhere. The endemic
atmospheric poison may, however, bereft of its
venom and rendered Innoxious by a defensive
use of Hostetter’s Bto nach Bitters. This pre
eminently safe and effective reaie iy and safe
guard not only- radicates the disease wlien de
veloped, but enables the system to safely brave
its assaults. Every physical function is con
firmed in, or restored to, regularity, the circula
tion quickened, if sluggish, and a bilious habit,
which of itself begets a proneuess to both inter
mittent and remittent types of malarial disease,
where extrinsic atmospheric causes exist, pow
erfully coimteActed by this inimitable fortify
ing and defensive agent, which has. moreover,
none of the disagreeable characteristics of a
drastic cathartic or any alkaloid. Fever and
ague, dumb ague and ague-ca.e, and the caien
tura of the Isthmus, are conquered by it surely,
pleasantly. Rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, kid
ney and bladder troubles, constipation and indi
gestion yield to it.
