A CAPITAL STOUT.
My uncle Beagly, who commenced his com
mercial career etirly in the present century as
a bagman, will tell stories. Among them be
tells Ins single ghost story as follows :
‘One fine antumn evening, about forty years
ago, I was traveling on horse-back from Shrcws-
berry to Chester. I felt tolerably tired, and
was beginning to look out for some snug way-
side Inn, where I might pass the night, when
a sudden and violent thunder-storm came on.
My horse terrified by the lightning, fairly took
the bridle between his teeth, and started off
with mo at full gallop, through the lanes and
cross roads, until at length I managed to pull
him up, just near the door of a neat looking
country Inn.
‘Well,’ thought I, ‘there was wit in your
madness, old boy) since it brought us to this
comfortnhlc refuge.’
And alighting, I gave him in charge to the
stout farmer’s boy, who acted as hostler. The
Inn kitchen, which was also the guest-room,
was large, clean, neat and comfortable—very
like tli£ pleasant hostelry described by Izaak
Walton. There were several travelers al
ready in the room—probably, like inyself,
driven there for shelter—and they were all
warming themselves by the blazing fire, while
waiting for supper. I joined the party. Pres
ently, being summoned by the hostess, we all
sat down, twelve in number, to a smoking re
past of bacon and eggs, corned beef and Car
rots, and stewed hare.
The conversation naturally turned on the
mishaps occasioncdby the storm,.of which eve
ry one appeared to have his full share. One
had been thrown off his horse; another, driv
ing in a gig, had been upset in a muddy dyke;
all had got a good wetting, and agreed unani
mously, that it was dreadful weather—a regu
lar witches’ sabbath.
•Witches and ghosts prefer for their sab
bath a fine moonlight, to such weather as thfe!’
These words were uttered in a solemn tone,
and with strange emphasis, by one of the com
pany. He was a tall, dark looking man, and
I had set him dowu in my miud as a travelling
merchant and pedlar. My next neighbor was
a gay, well looking, fashionably dressed young
man, who, bursting in a peal of laughter, said:
•You must know the manuers and customs
of ghosts pretty well, to be able to tell that
they dislike getting wet or muddy.’
The first speaker, giving him a dark, fierce
look, said:
‘Young man, speak not so lightly of things
above your comprehension.’
‘Do you mean to imply that there are such
things as ghosts ?’
‘Perhaps there arc, if you had courage to
look at them.’
The young man stood up, flushed with an
ger. But presently resuming his seat he said
calmly—
•That taunt should cost you dear, if it were
not such a foolish one.’
‘A foolish one!’ exclaimed the merchant,
throwing on tlie table a heavy leathern purse.
‘There are fifty guineas. I am content to lose
them, if, before the hour is ended, I do not
succeed in showing you, who are so obstinate
ly prejudiced, the form of any of your deceas
ed friends, and if, after you have recognized
him. you will allow him to kiss your lips.’
We all looked at each other; but my ^roung
neighbor, still in the same mocking manner,
replied:
•You will do that will you !’
‘Yes,’ said the other, T v-ill stake these fif
ty guineas, on condition that you will pay a
similar sum if you lose.’
After a pause, the young man said gaily:
‘Fifty guineas, my worthy sorcerer, arc more
than a poor college sizar ever possessed; but
here aro five, which, if you ardteatisfied, I
shall be most willing to wager.’
The other took up his purse, saying in a con
temptuous tone:
‘Youug gentleman, you want to draw back.’
‘I draw back V exclaimed the student
‘Weil if I had fifty guineas, you should see
whether I wish to draw back.’
•Here,’ said I, ‘are four guineas which I will
stake on your wager.’
No sooner had I made this proposition than
the rest of the company, attracted by the sing
ularity of the affair, came forward to lay down
the money, and in a minute or two the fifty
guineas were subscribed. The merchant ap
peared so sure of winning, that he placed all
the money in the student’s hands, aud prepar
ed for the experiment. We selected for the
purpose, a small summer house in the garden
perfectly isolated, and having no means of ex
it but a window and a door, which we careful
ly fastened, after placing the young man with
in. We put writing materials on a small ti
ble in the summer house, and took away the
candles. We remained outside, with the pe 1-
lur among us. In a low, solemn voice, he be
gan to chant the following lines:
‘WJmt riseth from tlie ocean caves,
And the stormy serf?
The phantom pale sets his blackened foot
On the fresh green turt
Then raising bis voice solemnly, lie said:
‘You asked to see your friend Francis Vil-
liors, who was drowned three years ago, off
the coast of South America; What do you
sec ?’ »
•I see,’ replied the student, ‘aNvhite light a-
rising near the window; but it has no iorm ;
it is like an uncertain cloud.’
We—the spectators—remained profoundly
sileut.
‘Are you afraid V asked the merchant in a
loud voice.
•I am not,’ replied the student, firmly.
After a moment’s silence, the pedlar stamp
ed three times on the ground, and sang:
Aud the phantom white whose clay cold face
Was once so fiiir,
Dried with his shroud his clinging vest
And his sea-tossed hair.
•You would see revealed the mysteries of
the tomb, what do you see now V
The student answered in a calm voice, but
like that of a man describing things as they
passed before him : ,
•I see the cloud taking the form of a phan
tom ; its head is covered with a long veil it
stands still!’
‘Arc you afraid V
‘I am not.’ ... . ,
We looked at each other in horror struck
silence, while tho merchaut, raising bis arms
above his head, chaunted in a sepulchral voice:
‘And the phantom said, as ho rose from the wave,
He shall know me in sooth!
I will go to my friend, gay, smiling and fond,
As in our fir>t youth.
What do you see,’ said he.

A fearful moment of silence ensued; then
tho student replied, but in an altered voice:
•I am not.’
With strange and antic gestures, the mer
chant then sang:
And the phantom said to the mocking sneer,
I calk: from the South:

Thy mouth to my mouth.’

‘Help that rash youth!’ said the merchant,
bitterly. I have, I think, won the wager ;
hut it is sufficient for me to have given him a
lesson. Let him keep his money, and be wise
for the future.’
He walked rapidly away. We opened the
door of tho summer house, and found the stu
dent in convulsions. A paper, signed ‘Fran
cis Villiers,’ was on tho table. As soon as the
sUt dent’s senses were restored, he asked ve
hemently, where was the vile sorcerer who
had subjected him to such a horrible ordeal—he
would kill him! He sought him throughout
the Inn in vain; then with the speed of a
madman, lie dashed off across the fields in
pursuit of him—and we never saw either of
them again. That, children,is my ghosts story.
‘And how is it uncle, that after that, you
don’t believe in ghosts V said I, the first time
I heard it.
‘Because, my boy,’ replied my uncle, ‘neith
er the student nor the merchant ever returned ;
and the forty-five guineas, belonged to me
and the other travellers, continued equally in
visible. Those two swindlers carried them off,
after having acted a farce, which we, like nin
nies, believed to be real.’
Brilliant Whitewash.
Now is the time to whiten nt> the yard fences,
summer house, and your dwellings. A few
dollars’ expense will beautify your premises
and your home. This is a beautiful, cheap and
durable paint for meeting houses and school
houses. Try it.
‘Many have heard of the brilliant stucco
whitewash on the east end of the President’s
house at Washington. The following is a re
cipe for it as gleaned from the National Intel
ligencer, with some additional improvements,
learned by experience:
Take half a bushel of nice nnslacked lime,
slack it with boiling water, cover it during the
process to keep in the steam. Strain the li
quid through a fine seive or strainer, and add
to it a peck of salt, previously well dissolved in
water ; three pounds of ground rice boiled to
a thin paste, and stirred in boiling hot; half a
pound of powdered Spanish whiting, and
pound of clean glue, which has been previous
ly dissolved by soaking it well, and then hang
ing it over a slow fire, in a small kettle with
a large one filled with water. Add five gal
lons of hot water to the mixture; stir it well,
and let it stand a few days covered from the
dirt.
It should be put on right hot; for this pur
pose it can be kept in a kettle on a portable
furnace. It is said that a pint of this mixture
will cover ^square yard upon the outside of a
house, if properly applied. Brushes more or
less small may be used, according to the neat
ness of the job required. It answers as well as
oil paint for wood, brick or stone, and is cheap-
It retains its brilliancy for many years.
There is nothing of the kind that will compare
with it, either for inside or outside walls.
‘Coloring matter may be put in and made of
any shade you like. Spanish brown stirred in
will make red pink, more or less deep accord
ing to quantity. A delicate tinge of this is
very pretty for inside walls. Finely pulveriz-
edcommon clay well mixed with it, will make a
reddish stone color.. Yellow ochre stirred in
makes ayellow wash, but chrome goes further,
and makes a color generally esteemed prettier.
In all three cases the darkness of the shades
of course Is determined by the quantity of col
oring used. It is difficult to make (rules, be
cause tastes are different; it would be the best
to try experiments on a shingle and let it dry.
We have been told that green must not be mix
ed with lime; the lime destroys the color, and
the color lias an effect on the whitewash which
makes it crack and peel. When walls have
been badly smoked aud you wish to have them
a clean white, it is well to squeeze indigo plen
tifully through a bag into the water you use
before it is stirred into the white mixture. If
a larger quantity than five gallons be wanted,
the same proportion should be observed.’
A Drove of Irisli Bulls.
The following piece of “ composition,” says
the Philadelphia Sunday Transcript, may be
“ backed ” against anything ever produced.
It was written half a century ago by Sir Boyle
Roche, a member of the Irish Parliament.
“The Troubled Times of Ninety-Eight,” when
a handful of men from the county of Wexford,
struck terror into the hearts of many gallant
sons of Mars, as well as the worthy writer
himself. The letter was addressed to a friend
in London, and it is old enough to be new to
nine out of ten of our readers :
My Dear Sir: Having now a little peace
and quietness, I sit down and inform you of
the dreadful bustle and confusion we are all in
from these bihod-thirsty rebels, most of whom
are, thank God, killed and dispersed. We
are in a pretty mess; can get nothing to cat,
nor any wine to drink, except whisky; and
when we sit down to dinner we are obliged to
keep both hands armed. While I write tins,
I hold a sword in each hand, and a pistol in
the other.
I concluded from the beginning that this
would he the end of it, and 1 see I was right;
for it is not half over yet. At present, there
aresuch'goings on that everything is at a stand
still. I should have answered your letter a
fortnight ago, but I did not receive it until this
morning, indeed, scarce a mail arrives with
out being robbed. No longer ago than yes
terday, the coach with the mail from Dublin
was robbed near this town. The bags had been
judiciously left behind, for fear ot accident,
aud by good luck there was nobody in it but
two outside passengers, who had nothing for
the thieves to take. Last Thursday, notice
was given that a gang of rebels was advancing
here under the French standard, hut they had
no colors, nor any drums except bagpipes.
Immediately every man in the place, includ
ing men, women and children, ran out to meet
them. We soon found our force much too_ lit
tle ; wc were too near to think of retreating.
Death was in every face, but to it wc went,
and began to be all alive again. Fortunately,
the rebels had no guns except pistols and pikes,
and as wc had plenty of muskets and ammuni
tion, we put them all to the sword. Not a soul
of them escaped, except some that were drown
ed in adjacent bogs ; and in a very short time
nothing was heard but silence. Their uni
forms were all of different colors, hut mostly
green. After the action, wc went to rummage
a sort of camp which they had left behind them.
All we found was a few pikc3 without heads,
a parcel of empty bottles of water, and a
bundle of French coinmisions filled with Irish
names. Troops arc now stationed all round
the country, which exactly squares with my
ideas. I have only time to add that I am in
great haste.
p. s.—If you do not receive this, of course
it must have miscarried, therefore I beg you
will write and let me know."

Ulonstcr Cottou-Spiuing Establish-
MENT IX RUSSIA.
A correspondent of the London Times, writ
ing from St. Petersburg, June 8, describes al
gigantic industrial project in Russia:—
“ The first stone of a monster manufactory
has just been laid. It will comprise a cotton-
spinning establishment and a series of weaving
shops. The building is to be raised upon the
Isle of Chronholm, situate upon the Narova,
between the two cataracts of that river. It is
stated that the spinning departments will com
prebend the largest building in the whole
world, and will immeasurably exceed in ex
tant the vast spinning establishments of the
United States. This construction will be
formed as a grand square, and will occupy the
whole of the isle. A large portion of the
adjoining ground has been purchased for the
purpose of building liabitationts for tho work
men, and a large school iii connection with the
p'eat establishment. The contractors for the
joinery work are to furnish 1,072 window
frames. The building will be lighted by from
15,000 to 20.000 jets of gas. St. Petersburg
being unable to supply thoso materials, from
03 to 80 vessels are constantly employed in the
conveyance of them from Narva. The num
ber of workmen engaged is fixed at 3,000 at
least. The edifice is to be completed in three
years, but a portion of the spinning depart
ment is to be ready for work in one year.
The capital required for the undertaking has
been already subscribed for in shares, which
have been taken up by tho directors of {lie
scheme and some foreigners. The chief di
rector is M. Jean Frcriches, of Bremen, resid
ing provisionally at St Petersburg. His as
sociates are the merchants of St. Petersburg,
the four brothers Khlondoff, Louis Knoop,
Alexander March and M. Soldatenkoff, mer
chant of Moscow. Mr. Richard Barlow, an
English merchant, is director of the technical
works (travaux tcchnixues) and Mr. Kolbe,
chief administrator of the building, and the
framer of the laws of the Society.
“The first stone of the colossal edifice was
laid with great pomp and circumstance in the
presence of the General Baron do Kruden-
er, Commandant of Narva, of all the founding
members, and of an enormous assemblage of
the people.”
A Desperate Figh( with a drizzly
A HUNTER'S ARM BIT OFF.
James Wilburn, apacker, well-known about
Bald Hills, says the Shasta Republican, had a
most desperate rencontcr with a grizzly, on
Hay Fork of Trinity river, one day last week,
lie was out hunting, about a mile and a half
from his residence, when he came suddenly up
on au immense grizzly. He at once put a
large sized piece of cold lead into his bearship,
which caused him to seek shelter in a dense
thicket. Of course Jim followed him, and
catching a glimpse of bruin’s ugly countenance
again raised his rifle and pulled the trigger,
but the cap failed to do its work. At this mo
ment the grizzly discovered his persecutor and
started for him with terrible growls and mur
derous intent. Quck as lightning Jim brought
a revolver to bear upon bim, and put five balls
in his carcass, and was in the act of adminis
tering the sixth, when the bear with his paw
knocked the pistol out of bis hands. However,
the desperate hunter was not yet disarmed.
He still had a large knife, which he drew, aud
then came the tug of war. They went at it

The Yacht America.
The inquiries which have recently been
made to us of the whereabouts and condition
of the celebrated Yacht America, with which
wc so gloriously distanced the combined yacht
squadron of Great Britain, in tho summer of
1351, arc fully answered by the following ex
tract from a recent article in a London journal
the steam frigate Niagara. The London
journal says:—“While the monster American
frigate is riding so proudly oil’ Tilbury fort,
there lies, almost within musket shot of her
pennant, ia a ship-builder’s yard, aud we deep

Some years ago tho Y'ankee Schooner, Sally
Ann, under the command of one Captain
Spooner, was beating up the Connecticut
river. Mr. Comstock, the mate, was at his
station forward. According to his notion of
things, the schooner was getting too close to
certain fiats which lay along the larboard shore.
So aft he goes to the Captain, and with his hat
cocked on one side of his head, says:
‘Cap’n Spoouer, you’re gettin’ leettle too close
to them flats,—handn’t you better go about V
To which Captain Spooner replied:
‘Mr. Comstock, jest you go for’ard and ’tend
to your part of the skSner, and I’ll tend to
mine.’
Mr. Comstock went forward in high dudgeon
and hallowed out:
’Boys, see that mud hook ail clear for let-
tin’ go 1’
‘Ay, ay, sir, all clear.*
‘Let go then.’
Down went the ancliov, out rattled the chain
and like a flash the Sally Ann came luffing in
to the wind, and then brought up all standing.
Mr. Comstock walked aft, "and touching Ins
very politely, said:
‘Well, Cap’n, my part of the skeuner is to

The Nurseries of Crime.
There arc thirty-three places known in New
York as receptacles of stolen goods. Stolen
clothing sold there is soon ripped up and so
changed that the former owner could never
identify it. Silver spoons or other plate arc
melted at once. These scople are admirably
organised among themselves, have a mutual
benefit association, and whenever one of their
number is so unfortunate as to be arrested,
bail is immediately furnished by an agent of
the association. -When the trial comes on,
first rate counsel is engaged, and any number
of witnesses aro easily provided to testify to
every thing ncccessary. Hence, convictions
seldom occur. There arc many similar insti
tutions in this city, which exercise as baneful
an influence upon the public morals. There
is scarcely a term of our criminal coarts in
which there are not cases of thb kind, though
the punishment docs not seem adequate to the
mischief produced by such nurseries of theft
and dishonesty. Is it any wonder that juve
nile larcenies arc so frequent, when such fa
cilities arc extended mid such encouragement
given to the practice of petty stealing?—Phil

COTTON PLANTERS.
T HE subscriber has thoroughly tried, at Macon
and Columbus, Georgia, his wrought iron Cot
ton Screw, where two of them are now standing and
will remain until October for inspection. I believe
it is cheapest, by half, ever offered for the purpose of
pressing cotton or hay, ns the frame, screw, pin, and
levers are all of wrought iron. It should bo attach
ed to the gin house, and have it put up through the
floor, as the ordinary press—the levers being only
five feet in length—to have the width of tlie house
and 18 and 20 feet in length, the lint could thtn be
placed all around the screw. Theu a man can take
five bands and pack as many tive-liundred-pound-
bales in one day, with as little labor to the hand, as
the same five and two more, with a horse, can on
tho wood screw in the same time. Three hands can
put up one and take it down, and it can be carried at
one load with four mules to any point.—As this is for
the public eye I will give the amount of timber ne
cessary for completing one:

at last so favored them that they were now
anxious to see their betrothed, and accompan
ied the messages with a goodly remittance to
pay their passage. The girls, for mutual pro
tection and society, came over the ocean in the
same vessel and arrived in safety at Quebec.
Thence they embarked with several hundred
otjier emigrants on a river steamer to continue
their journey down to St. Lawrence. That
steamer was the ill-fated Montreal, and of the
six betrothed maidens five found cither fiery
or watery graves. The sixth—Miss Jeannette
Pettigrew—was taken up for dead, and only
by faithful and persistent attention was her life
saved. All her worldly possessions were gone,
hut kind-hearted women at Montreal supplied
her abundantly when they heard her affecting
story. Eventually she reached licr destina
tion, and in a late number of the Chicago Tri
bune there is chronicled the marriage of Mr.
Adam Tate, of Chicago, tt^Miss Jeanette Pet
tigrew. He alone reaped the reward of his
long exertions; aud at the wedding there were
present two of the other five young men,
whose feelings, when they constrasted the hap
piness of their friend with their own bereaved
condition, must hare been sad indeed.

are got up on the model patented by Dr. B.
J. La Moutte, of New York. The frame work
of the wrought is in effect an extremely strong
and stiff, yet elastic basket, each joint or in
tersection being strengthened by rivets, aud
the whole being further protected by making
the entire platform at each end, one strong
spring of steel. If the car runs off the track,
falls down a precipice, or comes into collision
with another, in sach a manner that the springs
at each ends cannot absorb the shock, the car
itself will spring, collapse, twist, or crumple
up, but cannot break and crush its contents
with its fragments. One of the greatest dang

PAPERS.
Tho editor of tlie New York Evening Post,
speaking as if from personal knowledge, says:
Mr. Marcy, in Washington, commonly com
posed his important despatches, not in his of
fice, but in his library at home. When thus
engaged, he would at once, after breakfast,
begin his work, and write till nearly noon,
when he would go to the Department, receive
calls and attend to the regular routine duties
of his position. During the hours of compo
sition he was so completely engrossed with his
subject that persons might enter and go out,
or talk in tho same room without the least
obtaining his notice. He wore spectacles—
usually sat in his-dressing gown, with, an old
red handkerchief on the table before him, and
oue could judge of the relative activity of his
miud by tho frequency of his application to the
snuff box. In truth he was an inveterate snuff
taker, and his consumption of that articlo ap
peared to have injuriously affected his voice.
He wrote deliberately, with few erasures or
changes and his thoughts generally in the first
draft assumed the form of expression in which
he was willing to publish them. He almost
always used a pencil, and left the second draft
to he penued by a clerk. This, however, he
rarely altered.' His handwriting was legible
aud handsome, without being clerkly.
