Feb. 19, 1870. alts, litictsnccbofts; c. . m -O-- i A JIOSS ROSC. AVAS IT A GHOST ? . . A correi?pondent srnds us the following which he assures us is a true story : 'The writer of this brief article is per sonally cognizant of the fact that the cel ebrated Julius Janin has borne the high est testimony to the astute discrimination, philosophical attainment?, and general education of a certain German lady now residing in this city.. 'Astute discrimina tion and 'iihilosophical attainments, are emphasized here, or intended to be 60, be cause the story about to be related on the authority of this lady, and in which she appears to have played a prominent part, is so strange and incredible that it has been deemed necessary to refer to her clearness of perception and lier logical turn of mind to establish the respectability of her evidence to the premises. 'Liefore leaving Beilin, her native city, about eight years ago, she becume the intimate friend and companion of a cer tain Miss Alice G , a very beautiful yeiung girl, who, among her other accom plishments, was noted for her music ami einbre'idery. Circumstances so ordered it that these two ladies traveled together through the greater part of Germany, France and Italy, with the mother of Al ice, who was a wealthy invalid. While sojourning in the vicinity of the Liake of Corao, Alice at I he instance of her friend,' began a piece of embroidery, intended to represent a basket of flowers, the central feature of which was to be a "fulNblown moss rose filled with crimson," as Alex ander Smith has it. Gradually the can vas became almost odorous, as bud after bud eeemed to open to the sunbeam of her needle as it glinted through the pink and pearly dawn of her fingers. Already had bunches of leaves fallen with careless grace over, the verge of the exquisitely wrought wicker woik ; .some ricb in that brown, intellectual tinge so dear to Wou vermans, anrl others bright with all the emerald loveliness of spring. ' 4During the progress of this delightful boquet, and whenever the fair embroiderer sat down to it, she invariably began to sing some portion of that unrivalled cava tina, 'Robert toi que j'aime' a circum stance to which her attention bad been called frequently, but which she as con stantly treated with a light-hearted laugh. In this way matters tfped until the whole basket was filled, save a vacant spot in the midst of the clustering flowers, yet to be occupied by their flushed queen. At this juncture the mother of Alice was sud' denly recalled to Germany and, both the ladies accompanying her, the embroidery needle was, of course, laid aside for the time being. This was a source of some little disappointment to one of the party at least, as the piece of needle-work waa intended a9 a eoovenir for the lady first mentioned in this little history, and as she was most desirous of possessing it com pleted to the very last touch. Seeing that some lime could not but elapse, bow ever, before the work could be finished, she took charge of the canvas, humorous ly exacting a : promise froin Alice that, whether dead or alive, she should add the central and crowning flower to the group which promise was as jocosely, but quite as explicitly given ; and that, too, on the very, last day-of December, 18G0. Through some family complications, not necessary to explain here, the party broke up on arriving at ' Paris, Alice and her friend meeting no more ; the latter having shortly afterwards Bailed for America, reaching this city, where as already in timated she now resides. 4 . ; 'From the moment of her landing here) and up l within the last couple of months, .w --'r""- ?: sbe corresponded regularly with; her friend who, although' no longer a girl, j was" still unmarried notwithstanding the ripeness and facination of hor beauty. In the let ters that passed between them. Occasional mention was made of the unfinished em broidery ; when ' Alice always - jocularly renewed her pledge to finish the moss rose, whether dead or alive.' So beautiful was the basket of flowers in. even its incom plete condition, it was the practice of its fair and intellectual custodian to exhibit it, at limef, to such of her friends as she deemed judges of such things; while it was her custom, every New Year's eve before retiring toret,. to, place' the em broidery frame before her, on which the canvas still lay stretched, for the' purpose of communing in spirit with the loved one beneath whose fingers it bean to "low. "In Ibis way time stole on, until the night of the 31st of .December last, when this frame was again brought from its biding p'ace, and shown to a lady and gentleman' who' happened, to drop in on its owner. After their departure she who had prized it so dent ly placed it in a small parlor adjoining her bedchamber, where, after dwelling with tearful eyes upon the happy scenes it awakened, she suddenly formed the resolution of adding the miss ing flower herself ; and o this end, as she was an accomplished embroiderer, she laid out all her colors on the table, determined to commence the work on the following morning. Full of this resolve, she sought her bed, where she was soon asleep. - "How long she bad remained in this state of unconsciousness she was unable to s;y ; but when she again became aware of her existence she was both surprised and alarmed to discover that the apait ment in which the embroidery frame stood was filled with a pale, greenish light, and, more explicable still, it was occupied by some one who was humming an air that was familiar to her.- As her senses be came more collected, her heart stood still ! There could be no mistaking the voice ! It was that of Alice! and the song" was Robert toi que j'aime !. - Slowly but sure ly a great fear oveishadowed her, until 6he was totally paralyzed. In vain she attempted to cry out ! She could neither speak nor move,' so completely " wns' she overpowered ; and had not a merciful tin contiousness again taken possession of her, she entertains the idea that her life would have been the forfeit. It was long after daylight before the spell which had seized upon her was bro ken ; and when, after a hasty toilet, she appeared at the breakfast room, her pale and agitated countenance bespoke at once that she was ill at ease. A foreign letter in a mourning envelope lay beside her plate. " With trembling band sh broke the seal. Alice G was dead 1 She hastened up stairs and sat down at the table where, on the previous night, she had arranged all her embroidery materials. It appeared to ber as though they had been slightly disturbed. She glanced fur tively towards the embroidery frame The moss rose was added to the basket of flowers ! ' , "It has, without effect, been suggested to this lady that she had herself, while in some abnormal condition, finished the em broidery, and that the arrival of the letter was a strange coincidence. To all such arguments she turns a deal ear; averring that she 'was perfectly conscious of her position while she was listening, to the cavatina from Hubert ; and that, were she to receive the wealth of India for working a rose like the one in question, sheshoold never be able to perform the task. In this way she shakes the incredulity of those who know her; although some arc not to be convinced that the very singular affair is incapable of being explained on natural principles." X. Y. Evening Post. Influence of Newspapers on Chil dren. Almost every one has a -good opinion of newspapers ; that is, nearly everybody likes to read them. Occasion ally,, to be sure, we meet with a crusty individual who appears to think light of newspapers; buttsilten as a whole, the world at large entertain a good opinion of them. There are, however, comparative ly few who estimate them in their proper value. They subscribe for and read them, without reflecting on the immense influ ence they exercise upon themselves and families,, and more especially upon the children. An experienced and observant school teacher says of them : .. , "I have found, it to be the. universal fact, without exception, that those schol ars of both: sexes, and of all ages who have had access to newspapers at home, when Compared to those who have not, are better readers, excelling in punctuation and consequently read more understand ingly. They are better spellers, and define words with ease and accuracy. They obtain a practical knowledge of geography in almost half the time it requires others, as the newspaper has made tbena famil iar, with the most important places, na tions, their governments and doings on the globe. v. i .... They are better grammarian-; for hav ing become so familiar with every variety in the newspaper, from the commonplace advertisement to the finished and classical oration of the statesman, they more readi ly comprehend the meaning of the text$ and consequently analyse its construction with accuracy," - - The Louisville Commercial t is responsi ble for the following strange story : , It is well known 'that the unfortunate Kriet who suffered; death or was ' sup posed to have done so last Friday went to his doom, grim, .implacable and unatu rally firm, . It was. well , known that his desire to live was paramount to every other earthly desire. , His bearing on the scaf fold was so unnaturally, calm that tbose who stood near him thought the man did not realize that death was so near,' but still clung to life with a terrible tenacity. When the rope that held the trap was severed, and the body fell, it was a subject of remark that the closed hands and po sition of the legs and feet remained entire ly unchanged, showing a trementlods ex ercise of will and control of nerve. The neck was not broken, neither i was tho rope drawn so closely about tjie man's neck that its mark could be distinguished, nor was the skin chafed a particle. General Whittaker, who was present at the execution by the request ' of the prisoner,' nnd who examined the body as it hung, declared in the hearing'of those in the vicinity of the scaffold that pulsa tion in the carotid arteries of the neck was discernible after the jail surgeon and his assistants had declared life extinct! . lifter hanging some minutes, Kiiel's body was placed in the coffin. The limbs remained flexible, the bands opened with the least persuasion and were crossed on his bosom. The' eyes, that stared half open when the black cap was withdrawn, remained closed 'after the slight ""touch upon them, and the face assumed an ap pearance of immobility and rest. The red flushing in the cheeks cams back to a certain exttnt, and the dark coloring on the neck, under the knotted rope, partially disappeared. . The.shoit time that elapsed between his being placed in the cofjin and being driven away Was also a subject of remark. No one seemed to have any charge" of the body," and it was driven away in a lonely hearse to the vault at the cemetery. - -".'" "Now comes the closing scenes 'in this strange story. ' ' . Near midnight a light wagon was driven rapidly out Walnut street, in which were seated three mu filed, silent figures, one of them a surgeon of great , experimental knowledge, a firm believer in the theory of resuscitation of animal life through the galvanic process. In tlie wagon was a mafress and sev eral dark blankets. The wagon halted near the cemetery fence. -The horse was held by the driver,and two men went to the vault, carrying between them'' large sack well filled. In a short time they re turned bearing with them a motionless figure shrouded in a blanket. The figure was placed on the raatress, and in silence the wagon was driven back to the city, the body was conveyed to the surgery of a most skillful and learned surgeon, where some ten or twelve excited and expectant siuJents stood anxiously awaiting the ar rival. The body was placed in a recum bent position on the table, the clothing loosened, the chest extended, and an in cision nmae in one oi the veins ot tlie arm. At first but a small drop of dark colored blood came firth, but repeated incjsions and manipulations of the body caused it at . lait to trickle forth, more freely. - y - r The galvann) battery was applied, and. horrible, and wonderful to relate, in less than fifteen minutes the warm blood began to course through the chilled body, and at last the eyes were opened. The stu dents stood appalled . and could hardly realize the extent of demonstration before them. One ot them spoke to Kriel, ask ing him "are you sensible " The eyes answered expressively, and his lips opened ineffectually, for no speech came forth. Stimulants were poured down the. throat of the revived criminal, and in less than an hour after he had been placed -in the surgery Ivnel sat up and asked them, "What have you done? Am I alive f" The consternation, and yet the profes sional delight of the spectators were loudly expressed. The experiment of a reckless class of students and an able experiment alist has resulted iaJLhe resuscitation of a man who had been hung a short time pre vious. Steps were immediately taken to save the life of the wretched hian. Jus tice had been satisfied by the public exe cution, though life returned.' 'Why should they deliver up what had so providentially and wonderfully been restored ? None of Kriel s personal friends were notified. Strangers disguised him, furnished him with means, and by daylight a man weak and tottering, but firm and immovable in his demeanor, crossed the river, and was last seen by a watchful, silent friend, who kept near him on the train leaving Sey mour, Indiana, on his way to an unknown but, it is to be hoped, better future. . A 'Woman from the rural . districts bought some mourning goods at a shop a few days ago, saying her husband was sick,; and could not. live more than a week addingi "I thought I had better be gettin' the funeral things, and make 'em up, 'cause it's a real bother to get 'em made when there's dead folks in the house, an I hate to borrow." 1'nAnoAn is the first carpenter men tioned in the Bible.-7 He made Joseph a ruler. IloUnd to Go Hack to Ilcr Ma. J . A,, curious scene . was enacting at , the Un ion Dpot. A young, newly married couple from a neighboring city came in on the train from Chicago, their destina-j lion .being Minneapolis. F rora the young j man's story it was learned that he was married in Chicago', and went up' in the vicinity of Minneapolis; where he worked! in a mill. A. few weeks ago . the two went to Chicago to visit the git Ps parents, arid having paid their visit were going back .to thki'r home. While sitting in the ladies' room of the depot, the - wife went to the ticket office and asked if there was another train for Chicago that iiiqjit. Being told that there was, she turned to her husband and said, "Jim, you can go to that wooden counlry. if you want to ; I'm going back to Chicago to-night."
