One uight laat week aa one of the em.
ployees of the P. & E. E. Ft. was walk
ing leisurely along tho street with Lis
lantern swinging carelessly in bis band,
ho was antonished to see, directly in hia
path and facing him, a female figure,
clothed in white nnd wearing a loDg
black veil; on nearing the object he no
ticed that it was transparent, and on
etill nearer approach it .vanished, when
our hero of the lantern broke into a run
for the nearest hotel, where he related
Lis 6tory which caused the cheeks of his
auditors to blanche with feat; after con
sultation, however, a committee was ap
pointed to go and make an investigation,
whioh was done but uo tracks were to
be found in tho snow, and this satisfied
the committee that it was indeed a visi
tor from beyond the river Lethe. It is
supposed that some frightlul crime has
been committed Dear this spot, and that
be unearthly caller would lain divulge
s aioksning details to the man who has

Among the bills introduced in the

accompanying provision that paper fall

P's AND Q'b. The origin of tho
phrase "Mind your P's and Q's" is not
generally known. In ale-houses where
chalk scores were formerly marked upon
the wall, it was customary to put initial
letters at tho head of every man's ac
count, to show tho number of pints and
quarts for which ho owed; nnd when
one was indulging too freely io drink a
friend would touch him on the shoulder
and point to the scoro on tho wall say
ing. "John, mind your P's nnd Q's."
That is, note tho pint3 and quarts now
charged against you, and cease drinking.
Juries of Inquest. Tha following
has been passed by tho Legialaturo ol
Pennsylvania:
Be it enacted, etc., That it shall be
lawful for tho several orphans' courts

sons, in no ease less than three, of which
any sheriff's jury of inquest to make
partition of the real estate of a dece
dent or of tenant's in common shall be
composed, nnd all writs of partition or
valuation, directed to the sheriff, shall
contain tho command to summon the
number of jurors so fised by tho court
having jurisdiction.
Railroad PttooREf-s. In estimat

Remarkable Mild Wixmts. It
is a matter of frequent renrark, that the
present is the warmest winter known.
Thi, perhaps, may bo said with truth
by most of tho present generation, but
equally warm seasons havo occurred.
From competent records, kept iu Maine
nnd New York, we learn that, io 1735,
January was pleasant aud moderate, and
February was a "summer month" in
1733, January enrae in like April in
1740 there were but 'two snow storms,
and February and March were summer
months in 1751, January 15tb, the
frost was entirely out of the ground,
and February was like spring in 175C,
January, the fish "struck in" from the
sea, the weather being so warm, Febru
ary was delightful, and March bluster
ing, but soft a9 May in 1773, January
27th, was a summer day, the 2Stb won
derfully moderate, and on February
9th the' record states "we saw two rob
ins, no snow since Deo. 80th, wonder
ful weather" in 1775, February 19th,
tho weather was so "uncommon warm
that many lads went in the river to
swim." These records, all but one, are
more than a century old; but they
notice six remarkably warm winters,
within a period of forty years. So far,
the present winter has been unusually
mild but whether it will continue to for
the balance of the season, remains to be

Jurymen's Food in New Orleans-
The jury in a recent murder cbbo in
New Orleans, having been out for some
time, returned to a crowded Court room,
it was supposed, with a verdict. The
foreman solemnly advanced, nnd hand
ing tho Judge a bundle, wrapped in a
coarse piece of brown paper, requested
him to examine what sort of a diuner
the city paid so much for, and what the
juric9 were compelled to eat. Upon
unwrapping the paper, a piece of very
rotten meat was discovered, which
emitted a most offensive smell, and
whioh upon investigation was discovered
to contain a large number of inhabit
ants, which the cooking had not entirely
deprived of life, aud which were stiil
squirming around with wonderful live
liness and activity.
Ox tho 27th u!t., the laroiers of

machine companies, seven in number,
so that patrons can purchase direct and
save agents commissions. For $30 a
C ranger can get a $00 machine, and
other working implements at about the
same rates. Tho nail mauufuetutcrs is
sued a cirenlar h.st Novomber to the

Tue CuiiRKScr. Thefioadcial editor
of the Philadelphia LeJyer thinks there
it a sort of general understanding that
while there shall be uo further direct in
flation of the currency, tho Secretary of
tho Treasury shall be permitted to issue
the entire 44 millions of retired green
backs. This means, in tho mind of
every jwan intelligent oa tho subject)
permission to iuflato just four times 41
millions of dollars or, perhaps, the ex
pansion of bank credits four times this
aaount. What has been done in this
way is already being felt on the, various
industries of the country. This action
of tho Treasury iu the free disburse
ment of retired legul notes, aided by the
letting lose the last month of seventy
five millions of dollars in tho shape of
dividends and interest payments, has
given to business of all kinds a marked
impetus, as is told in almost all prices.
The present situation U underlaid with
much of bouyancy, which may last for
weeks tj come.

It appears from an offioial communica
tion of Commissioner of Pensions Baker
that the cost to the Government of the
disbursments under existing laws of $30-
000,U0U of pension moneys is about one
and a half per cent, of the whole
amount disbursed. This, be said, is be
lieved to be a less percentage of oost tn
the disbursement of publio moneys than
can be shown in any other branoh of the
publio service. The single item of
postage, pension Touchers, and checks
does aot lall short of f 100,000, whioh
is about twenty per ceat. of the cost ot
disbursement. The aggregate amount
I of compensation to agents is set down
'at $1,327,120.
