WALKER, Mayor. THE GHOST OF A BARKEEPER. How a Louisville Woman Found • Her Dead Husband’s Money. From the New York Times. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 9.—One of the most remarkable and apparently best authenticated ghost stories ever reported here is the talk of the street to-day. For a number of years JohnDewber ry, an individual remarkable for his many eccentricities, kept a saloon on Sixth street, between Market and Jefferson. Mr. Dewberry was taken sick and after a lingering illness died about five months ago. He left a widow and two children in very fair circumstances. After her husband’s death Mrs. Dewberry sold out the saloon and residence on Sixth street and moved to Madison street, below Fifteenth. Shortly after 7 o’clock this morning Tom Strubel and his partner, Pat Grimes, the new firm, were standing behind the bar when a woman heavily veiled rushed in and asked to be allowed to go into the back yard. Her request being granted, she went to the left hand corner of the yard and scraped aside a lot of rubbish, then took a small flower spade she had concealed in the f olds of her dress and dug away the earth until she found a cigar box. This she removed from the earth and fainted away. The men rushed to the woman’s side and found her to be Mrs. Dewberry. The box by her side contained a salt bag containing gold. This they counted, and found twelve $20 gold pieces and a number of smal ler coins, making a total of $250. When Mrs. Dewberry revived she de clared that while sleeping in her room last night she was awakened by the touch of an icy cold hand on her forehead. As she awoke the clock struck the hour of midnight. Turning in the dim light, she saw the pallid face of her deceased husband. The ghostly visitor stood by the bed. He wore his burial robes, and his words were few. The ghost directed Mrs. Dewberry to the spot where she found the money and then disap peared. The story is corroborated by so many reputable gentlemen that it cannot be doubted, and the finding of John Dewberry’s money will doubt less remain, whether preternatural or otherwise, a thing inexplicable. Rough on Rheumatism. A wonderful electric pit, recently discovered three miles from Sharon, Ga., is effecting hundreds of cures from rheumatism. A farmer named Hillman was prospecting for gold. In a little bend of Harden’s creek, where the bank rises abruptly, Mr. Hillman observed some strange dis coloration of the soil. He began dig ging, and finally desisted when he could discover no metallic deposit. A negro who was aiding Hillman had long been afflicted with rheuma tism. He noticed that whenever he handled the oozy clay in the pit that the muscles of his hands relaxed, per mitting him to use them with all natural ease. When Hillman aban doned the pit, disappointed in his search for gold, his employe left it sur prised at his freedom from the rheu matism of years. The story soon spread, and people began making Sunday visits to the strange spot. Rheumatics resorted thereto and began to confirm the experience of Hillman's servant. J. P. Moore, a well-to-do farmer, who for years had been unable to use his hands, after burying them twice in the soft mud of the pit found them fully restored to usefulness. A well- known white lady from Warren coun ty, who was badly drawn up, visited the pit and walked away, de claring herself cured. Charles Cal laway (colored), who for ten years walked on crutches, after one visit to the spot left his crutches behind him and walked home. The most wonderful cure related is that of a colored house servant of Gen. Heard. This woman was a per fect wreck from rheumatism. A year ago she went to bed, and since has had to be waited upon like a child. When the virtues of the pit were first mooted, her friends concluded to try it. The woman was carried on her bed to the spot, where she was rub bed over with the mud twice. The re sult was that the woman who had thus been carried to the spot took up her bed and walked home. The spot is in a dense thicket, ren dered almost impenetrable by laurel growth. Hundreds of people are re sorting thither, as a matter of curiosi ty. The water flows in sufficiently to keep the clay in a waxy condition. By applying this clay to the parts afflicted it wields some kind of influ ence which affords relief. The only theory advanced is that the mud must be charged with electricity suf ficient to effect the cures mention ed.—Savannah News.

Having had the pleasure of being present on the closing day of Miss Mattie Howell's three months’ school In Salem district, I was much grati fied to perceive the rapid advance ment of her pupils in their limited studies, viz: spelling, reading, writ ing and arithmetic. It was also pleas ant to observe the manly deportment of the boys and the graceful and mod est demeanor of the girls in the deliv ery of their speeches, recitations, &c. The whole wound up with with a first-rate dinner of the picnic varie:y, which must have added t<^ the enjoy ment of the occasion, which was al ready manifested in the countenances and the jolly good humor of every body who was present. Mr. Carrington is worthy of com mendation for having appointed Miss Howell to take charge of the above school and that lady, will doubtless, in the future, as in the past, realize the fact that merit will command and receive patronage. The school con sisted of about twenty scholars. Nov. 13th, 1886. I. Their Business Booming. Probably no one thing has caused such a revival of trade at John M.

Architect Edmond Legendre, 419 Sutter street, San Francisco, Cal., states that having suffered for a long time with a severe cough, and failing to obtain any relief from doctors and the numerous preparations he look he became alarmed. Tried Red Star Cough Cure, and one bottle entirely cured him. ^ A WELL MERITED WORD. The value of baking powder con sists in the fact that the propoition of alkali and acid is exact, and there is no danger of having yellow biscuits from an excess of soda, or heavy ones from an excess of acid. It is proba ble that many of the powders are adulterated, some with injurious sub stances, and others with harmless ad ditions to increase the bulk and con sequently the profits. In our own family we have excellent results from the use of the Royal Baking Powder. We have no reason to think that it contains any harmful ingredients. Those who object to the .use of bak ing powder because of adulteration must needs be very sure of the pur ity of the soda and cream of tartar they use in place of the powder. N. Y. Christian Union.
