After Hon. Foster M. Voorhees waa
elected governor of New Jersey the
urusl portraits of him were published
in the newspapers. They made an in-
teresting variety. In one instance an
enterprising journal drew upon its
cabinet and used a cut of the presi-
dent of a small western university,
showing a young man with the hair
carefully parted and curled, and with
the picture. He looked about 20 years
of age and the face was smooth and
smillng. The governor had a good
laugh over this particular picture as
well as over some of the other Inter-
esting variations of his countenance.

ANIMALS AFRAID OF GHOSTS.
Many Members of the Brute Creation
Fear the Supernatural,
There is a widespread belief in south
Germany, in Ireland, in Scotland, and
1 know not how many countries, that
horses and dogs have “an instinct” for
uncanny realities. In Germany the
popular notion is that no horse will
pags by the place where the body of
a suicide les, or even by the spot
where someone has committed suicide,
or where an execution has taken place.
This is something different from the
repugnance that all horses have to the
neighborhood of a slaughter-house.
Only two days ago a Tyrolese horse of
very docile disposition, driven careful-
ly by his Iialian owner, Was greatly
upset at having to pass two widely sep-
warships. He was also gremtly dis-
gusted at having to go near a scawen-
gor's cart. His protests, however, were
mild compared with the behavior of
horses under “uncanny” influences,
The Moro’'s owner sald: “A horse has
a keener nose than any dog,” and he
to him; “didn’t
know why that dirt cart was always in
the same place,” ‘“well-welled” him
and told him “the slaughter-house was
fifty yards off his road,” and so forth.
In “haunted” quarters, on the other
hand, the horse refuses with determin-
from head to heels, in time, with a
white foam, his eyes roll and shoot
fire and the end is sometimes a bad
aceldent, sometimes a hard-fought vic-
tory for the driver, sometimes his ig-
nominious defeat. I could name Irish
cress roads past which almost every
horse in the county refused to go quiet-
