and
ingza. Diagonally across from this—
in the opposite corner of the other side
of the room-—the door opened from his
bedroom into his sitting room. The
outer door of his sitting room had
venetian blinds attached to the outer
easing, thus allowing the door to be
open while the blind s could be closed
and fastened, giving increased circula-
tion of sir while insuring against intru-
sion.
“In the later weeks of my life, my
brother had his bed moved into his sit-
ting room, because, although he was
never bed ridden, he said he was ‘grow-
ing lazy and felt like lying down a goc
deal.” ~ A month or so after his bright
light ceased to shine for us here, we
were occupying his rooms, taking his
large room for our sleeping apartment.
One night after we had retired and my
wife had fallen asleep, I’ remained
awake, as was my custom, reading. I
had put aside my book and was about
to put out the light, when from the
y opened door of the smaller room
stepped the form of my dead brother,
Our bed was in the corner of the room
directly opposite. My first thought was
that T must have dropped asleep. But
1 rubbed my eyes, sat up in bed and
Jooked about me. There was my
quietly sleeping, there was the lamp
burning brightly, there were my books
and newspaper, and there was my
brother. i did not notice that he stop-
pd while I took the hurried survey,
yut now I saw that he was approaching
me. He had on his dress suit and a soft
black hat. His face was not s0 worn as
when he left us, but it bore the look of
patient endurance which pain heroically
yorne had stamped upon it, and through
that shone the ay spirit that brave
youth never lost and which could not be
conquered. He came to within a few
feet of me, and I was strongly minded
to speak, but he appeared to be about
to address me My I kept still. Just
then his eye seemed to light on my w ife,
and he turned his face away and hurried
from the room, leaving by the outer
door. His manner was such as it might
have been in life if he had unwittingly
intruded into my wife's sleeping room.
The outer door was open, the blinds be-
ing closed, and the only unusual thing
about the affair was that he passe
through the blinds without opening
them. I was not at all startled by the
apparition. I should not have been if
he had stopped and talked with me as
if he had been permitted to return for a
visit with us. Indeed, after I had con-

house a rustle follows him and when he

searched every nook and cranny of the
habitation in vain for an explanation of |
the phenomena, and now he has decided
to flee from the haunted house. The |
dwelling was built about 200 years ago, |
and there is a tradition of a ghost in 1i8
history.
In Bullock not long |
since, a man and family by the name of
Brennen moved on to a farm formerly
ied by a very old and miserly |
couple. These old people (man and
wife) had no children or relatives, and, |
both dying within a
other, were kindly buried by friends in
the ns ighborhood i
It was found that they had been liv- |
ing in the most abject poverty. The |
place presented a miserable appearance,
being very little furniture or
cooking utensils, with scarcely any pro-
visions, and several emaciated cats and |
half starved fowls completed the pov- |
stricken aspect. Mr. Brennen |
bought the place at suction shortly |
after the two old people died and im- |
mediately moved there with his family.
But they were there only a short time
before they wished they had never seen
the place. Strange beings were to be |
seen flitting about after nightfall, and

nervous chills. The bedsteads were
jerked about the room, oecupants and
all, by some unseen power.
Everything was turned topey-turvy
and it was impossible to keep anything
like order on the premises. Pande-
moninm reigned. It seemed as though
the very mir was filled with uneasy
spirits. The Brennens grew desperate,
and were thinking seriously of hunting
tnastures new,” when one morning
r. Brennen and one of his sons, being
in the yard, were startled by a strange,
roaring noise, which seemed to proceed
from the ground at their feet. As he
described it, it appeared to be a smsll
ewhirlwind of noise,” and something
seed to impel them to follow it. It
gradually drifted over into a corn field,
and at the further corner seemed to
sink into the ground, at the roots of an
old dead peach tree. They went to the
house, procured implements, returned,
dug, and found, no one knows just how
much, but that it was a great deal of
money, and the hoarded wealth of a
lifetime of the old couple that died, is
well known. The Breunens have
cided to still remain on the old farm,
and it is quiet and serene there now,
where all was chaos a short time ago.
The uneasy spirits have accomplished
their mission and are at rest.
There is in Parkville, L. L, an old
house whose timbers once formed part

of the notorious Houses of Blazes,”
the scene of many murders and affrays
of lesser import on Thirteenth street,
New York. When the “House of
Blazes” was demolished, many years
ago, its material was taken to the Flat
lands road and made into another
house. The house was occupied for
the past seven years by a John Moran,
his wife and three children. During
their tenancy there were queer rumors
about the house, believed to be mainly
because of its timbers. About a year
ago Mr. Moran moved out, and Mr.
Reisner, his wife and an 18-year-old

On the common wooden table lay a
corpse. It was that of a woman past
middle age. Around it stood seven
women, whose years ranged from 18 to
45. They wore long aprons that came
from their necks to their heels, their
bonnets were off, and they were eagerly
working over the remains with their
heads bent close and their nimble fin-

FASHION NOTES,

High bodices and short sleeves are
fashionable for demi-toilette, for din-
ners, ete. Tn faet little else is now
seen. Long gloves are worn with these
toilettes, Swedish kid gloves are still
worn for evenings, excepting with
black toilettes, when black, glace kid
gloves are worn,
The rumor that white stockings were
to become fashionable again, has been
verified, but they are only used for
evening wear, :
All evening dresses are made with a

Almost all of the Spring costumes
contain some shade of green, of which
there is said to be no less than thirty
different shades, from the palest gray-
