THE VAILED LADY.
AH Evansvillc Womna Who Prom
ised to Appear After Death nnd
Kept Her Word A KallnbleOIiost
lory.
From the Ev nsville Journal.
Hince the account of the Baushee
warinugtuat attended the death ? in
an Evaiirfville family was published
In the Journal , a highly intelligent
Citizen has furniahed rs with the
facto regarding apparitions that
were twice sean in a dwelling in the
Buburbs of this city. We are not & *
liberty to give true names or to lo
cate the house , but the Rtory is
vouched for by our informant , who
IB well acquainted with all the par
ties concerned
About eighteen years ago there
Jived with her relatives , an uncle
and aunt , in this city , a Miss Harris ,
who was young and amiable , and
was engaged to be married. She
bad a very intimate friend some
years older than herself , Mrs Cook
and tbe two had often amused atn
Instructed themselves with inquiry
Into supernatural subjects , so-called
and , among others , discussed am
investigated the doctrine of Spiritu
alism , which was then Huding a
lodgment in the W-iSt. One day it
was proposed , half in jest and Hal
in earnest , that the one of the two
friends who died first , was to ap
pear to the survivor , in order to set
at rest all doubts upon the subject
The proposition was accepted
And by discussion they adopted i
seriously , and agreed that the ore
dead nliouhl , if possible , make the
demonstration. Tn les than a year
Mrs. Cook was dead , an I in a she
time Miss Harris broke her engage
ment , when the weddiug day was
near. She was unhappy , and on
the evening which had been set for
the wedding she retired early anc
restless. It was warm , and about
midnight finding she could not go
to Bleep , she raised the musquito bar
and arrse to walk to the window.
As she did so she confronted a
olemn vailed figure standing
at tbe side of the bed and
gazing upon her with rigid , yet
questioning , countenance. One
quick , earnest look and the girl re
cognized the features of the deaC
friend , Mrs. Cook. She was terribly
frightened , and uttering loud shrieks
ran past and down stairs into the
room of her u..cle and aunt , and
there , trembling with fright cower
ed behind their bed. She was PO
unnerved that she was utterly una
ble to speak , and they were trying
in vain to ascertain tbe cause ol
her fright , when another scream was
beard , and a servant girl who had a
room opposite Miss Harris , bounded
down stairs and into the room also
frightened. Upon inquiry the girl
Mid that she had heard Miss Harris
scream , and thought it proceeded
from her aunt She arose to go to
the old lady's room , and as she entered -
tered the hall she saw a white fig
ure kneeling at Miss Harris' door ,
with her hand shading her eyes , as
If in sorrow. She looked again and
recognized the dead woman , Mrs.
Cook , and shrieking ran down
stairs. A close search of the house
tailed to reveal any intruder or any
signs of one. The doors were all
locked and tlie ground windows
closed. Skeptics and philosophers
may at once insist that tbe mind of
Miss Harris was unduly excited by
reflections upon the night of what
was to have been her marriage. Rut
he said that she had not thought of
Mrs. Cook at all. Admitting her
nervous excitement how will we ex
plain away the fact that the servant
girl also saw the spectre.
Miss Harris afterwards married a
most wortLy minister of the Gospel ,
and is now living in the Far West.
After detailing thene facts and
giving the skeptic a chance to ex-
"aln them away , we will now re-
te the sequel of this story. About
two months ago , two young ladies
arrived In this cny from New
Albany , lud. , to viijit the aunt of
the former Miss Harris. They re-
jnaiued here for six weeks. Two
jree s before they left they were
both sleeping in the same bed in
the room formerly occupied by Mies
Harris.
One night , just after midnight ,
both awoke suddenly , with a shock
each without knowing the other
was awake. There , standing by the
elde of the bed , was a white-robed
figure , dim and indistinct , but evi
denlly that of a woman. Each girl ,
In great fright , softly attemp ed to
awake the other , and at the
same moment discovered both
were awake. As they looked ,
the figure , dim and shadowy ,
glided slowly backward , and dis
appeared into the hall , through the
closed door. They both arose iu-
GtautlA , fearing it was some thief
who had gained admission to the
bouse. The gas was lit , the host
and hostess alarmed , and a thorough
search of the house made. It was
In vain. Every door was closed and
locked , every window and shutter
was fastened.
And thus it stands. Tbe last vis
itors had never heard the story of
Miss Harris and the spectre. They
bad ni thing to ex. Ho tl eir minds to
tbe same frenzy nothing to awake
them at exactly tbe same moment.
If anybody can explain this away
by natural causes , we should like to
bave it done , for of course it must
originate La some manner capable
of explanation.
A L1 HTMKG ANECDOTE.
Bow a Mircnd Operator Helped a
I : allroad Train.
Jrom the Chicago Times.
General Anson Stager , vice pres
ident and western manager , used to
be a York State printer boy , and
about the time the telegraph got
Into running order , he turned his
attention to telegraphy , and soon
became an expert at the business.
About twenty years ago he was still
an operator , and the possibilities of
tbe" teleeraph were yet , In a large
measure , in embrjo. . At this time
Pittsbnrg was the general head
quarters. One bitter cold night he
found himself on the cars on the
Pittsbnrg and Fort Wayne railroad
All of a sudden the train came'to a
halt Time , passed , and still there
was no forward movement.
Finally , after half an hour had
rene , our operator made bold to in
quire what the matter was , and was
informed that the locomotive had
gone back on them , and they would
be compelled to wait at least four
hours for relief.
"How are we to be relieved ? " in
quired Mr. Stager.
"The tonductor is hoofing it to the
next station , nine miles away , " was
the answer.
"Why didn't you call me. ? " in
quired our operator.
"Call you ? What could you've
done ? "
"I would have telegraphed. "
' Are you an operator ? "
"Yes , sir. "
"Have yon an instrument ? "
" .No. "
"Then what good would It have
done to have called you ; you can'l
telegraph without an instrument ? "
"Yes , I can , " said tbe ambitious
Anson ; "and if the ofllcern of the
royd are willing , I'll make the at
tempt. "
It should be remarked here thai
the Director * ' car , well filled
with the dignitaries of the road ,
was attached to the train. Tnese
were exceedingly anxious to reach
Pitisburg to attend an important
meeting , and the delay was ex
ceedingly annoying to them. Al
though incredulous to the last de
gree , they gave the word to "go
ahead , " and all of them "stoot
round" in the bitter cold to witness
the experiment
Detaching several car lengths of
the conductor's bell rope , our opera
tor threw it over the telegraph wire ,
and broke it as near as possible oe-
tween two poles. Having succeed
ed in this enterprise , he was not a
little chagrined to find that the wire
was not charged. jNothing daunt
ed , the sanguine Anton tackled
another wiie , and the only other
oe there was. This proved to be
well charged , and prepared to act
responsive to his desires. He
now prepared to ' 'make both ends
meet" in more than a meta
phorical sense. Securing all tbe
slack he could , he brought tbe two
ends together , and by expert touch *
ers succeeded in calling the nearest
office. He then sent a brief mes.
sage calling a fresh locomotive to
their aid. The operator felt consid
erable confidence that bis message
hud Deeu properly transmitted and
received , but he wanted to be fully
satisfied , and how to receive a mes
sage in return was the problem.
The sense of hearing on which th s
operator bad been accustomed to
rely , failing bin for want of an in
strument , it was necessary to call
some other sense of faculty into
requisition , and hence he decided
on that of feeling , or touch ,
and concluding that tbe tongue was
the most sensitive to electricity o !
all parts of the human body , he ac
cordingly applied the wire thereto.
But this was not enough. Ground
connection had to be established.
However , even this want was over
come. The railroad track was made
to do duty , and did its work re
markably , though it was cold com
fort for our operator to hold on to
the rail in the nipping frost with tbe
bare hand. Eut he made his circuit ,
and as he held the end of the wire
to bis tongue he soon lelttheshockn
and was thus enabled through tac
tual impression , to read what the
operator nine miles away was put
ting on the wire.
Meanwhile the conductor was
trudging his lonely way along , but
before he had gone half of the
distance to the station he wad met
by the locomotive hurrying to the
rescue. He was utterly con tounded
and not a litt'e ' terrified to see the
monster booming along , and made
frantic efforts to bring it to a halt by
placing himself directly on its path
> n the track and swinging his arms
'or dear life. He succeeded hi at
tracting the engineer's attention ,
and as soon as he came within
speaking distance he wanted to
know "what in the h 1 be waa
doing on the traok on hie time. '
'Been called , " was ( he answer.
'Who called you ? " "Been tele
graphed for by a broken-down train
lorae five miles along here. The
Superintendent himself sent the
order. " The conductor now found
limself in a regular fog , but got on
lie locomotive , and when he reach.
ed the train lost no time in seeking

NAPOLEON'S MEMOUT.
An Example of Accurate Recollec
tion Iluw lie Co u TCI ted a Pre
Into.
The Emperor Napoleon was at
Srfurt. A legion of kings and
princes had come to humble their
crowns before his regent royalty.
At one of the soiries which he gave
at this brilliant court , the conversa-
ion turned on an ancient pontifical
bull , alxiut the date of which there
was some doubt. An Austrian pre-
ate indicated a period which tbe
emperor contested.
"I am better informed than your
majesty on such subjects , " said tbe
prelate , "and I think I am certain
of what I state "
"And for my part , " replied the
emperor , "I do not say I believe ; I
Hay , I am certain you are deceived.
Besides , the truth may be easily a-
certaiued ; J say , I am certain you
are deceivon Besides , the truth
may be eh. ily ascertained ; let such
a work be brought , and if I am
wrong I will hasten to acknowledge
it"
it"The
The book was brought. The em
peror was right The whole assem
bly were astonished at such an ex
cellent memory on the part of one
whose head was constantly occu
pied by a crowd of other subjects.
"When 1 was a lieutenant , " said
the emperor. These simple word ? ,
"when I was a lieutenant , " pro
dticed a singular effect on all pres
ent ; all the repreHpntatmes of the
old monarchies looked at each other
sinilit'g. "When I bad the honor
to be a lieutenant of artillery , " con
tinued the emperor In i louder tone ,
" 1 remained two years in a Karri-
eon in a c'ty of Dauphin , which had
but a single circulating library , l
read three times the whole colleoj j
tion , nnd not a word of what I read
at that period ever escaped me. The
title o : the book which has just been
brouirht figured on the list. I read
it with the test , pnd , as you have
seen , I bave not forgotten its con
tents. "
