New York Tribune A GHOST STORY. (A tree cue of the days of IMOby the Madison (led.) correspondent ot tbe beatlneL There baa been so much written about jjhtit?, hich has proven to be nothing more lhaa imaginary, that we feel some hesitancy In writing tola, jet as vre got it direct from a lady who was an occupant of tbe haunted Jbaase, we give it as toIS. Tue Inly at that time was a young and blcahing maiden of fifteen, now she bis a largs family of her own gathered about her. It was jest twenty fire years aso, when a Kentucfcian romoved Irom ths upper Kentucky Ulver to this city, and houses then being scarce they did not kave time to bunt around for advice as ton suitable home, yet he secured a large two atcry brick house, having a wide hall running the length of the house. The family consisted c! father, mother, five daughters, asd two EOS3. Tha oldest (Hu hter was at that time fifteen yearaof age, and she told the tirj ar follows: The hall had a floor of bite ash aa had the steps. Upon our moving we immediately bean to scrub these, andere we got through mother discovered blood on the steps leading from the first to iLo second Iber. B the way there was a p: at for si about hair way up, sod then anothar step brought yon up etiirs. "Well, I'll plane that blood ax-ay ," aiid tbe husband, and they continued to clean up. After they had finished, Le took his plane and planed away the blood; and they retired for the t'rsi niaut in their few home in üoo3ierdom. Tie nut morniDg bright and early they c.2e; 30iuo of the jennqer children coo a; ujlk that their slumbera had been disturbed by noise. Oh, its nonsense, children, md Brother; its only because you ain't used i Ue Lou.e yet. A few minutes after breakfast, when the mother bad occasion to go up Hairs, ne noticed tbe eame blood stains on ite steps that only jesterdav had been anni cuiL This is strange, indeed, they all it oc-uht, and ?ca'n tna plaue wa used; this t n; about half an inch of the plank ä shavfd oil", but still the fnn.8 mult. niVtont this tim? ci.e ot the children standing on the front !oor etep heard two men say as they passed, Well, the oM haunted house is occupied." 3Li3 was told at the supper table, and that, rlbt they had tbe first experience of hear ii coist s and talking as if two men were in a betted discussion at some distance, always c ni" seuer and nearer. "At last the voice? wonld be at your side talk i let Incoherently, bat nothing could be seen. Then often at xiht a so se as of marbles rolling down, the Steps wi'Uld be heard, and inthing out nothing couM be seen. Then again a fall, dull rni havy. as if a person were falling down the step, and many a night when the family would be in bed they would bear in the iitcben clattering of dishes which one by one would be set out on the table. But if one went down to look everything waa quiet. One evening the wo eldest daughters had company; they heard the voices as related above; alio footsteps so plain that they luitea out to see, but with the same result. Ar another time the lady who told us this was cent up stairs for something, and when half way upeome mysterious and invisible l.acd cacgiit her dress and gave three suecpive jerk?, and at the third let go its cM and she eaid she could plainly feel the infers slippirg from her garments. One evening one of the boys came home, and seeing a tjznre in whit standing in the back f-!o?r he tbaagbt It was one of his sisters, and calJir to her and receiving no response he went op to the figare. when it disappeared. 3nt the most curious fact is. that while they livfd there, over a year, there never was known a li.b.t to be;taken down into the cellar, as every time they would e,o down the sups to the cellar thev would hear a whiff, acd cut would go the light, until at last they did not attempt to go cJbwn after night. One niht the mother heard a knock at the head of her bed, and looking up, heard a voice is, "Up, sinner up!" Bat the doubted h:s word and went down, "under the covers." All the above facta tbe writer heard iora'the lips cf the lady herself. We give thm to the readers for what they are wojth, but ou!d state her character for truth and veiacity is gocd, and the house etill stands, tn y it has been overhauled and repaired, it a zow stands in the central part of the it.t. l'rotloctive Power of Hens. IN'ew York Time?,! The productive powers of a hen depend von htr ccstitutional capability and the fn.hrg. Tbe statement that a hen baa a certain cumber of ovules in the ovary at l.irtb, ard tbat these mature at certain periods of her life, ii simply bosh. It is a baseless, imaginary supposition, and quite inconsistint with what is known tf the laws of animal growth. If thete Co ovules exist, at wbat time were thsy formed? They must have existed in the young chick, and, if so. iheyruusi have been in embryo in the esg. This is net poE3ible. It might as well be safd that every ft globule in the milk of a cow . bas been numbered and provided for at tne birth cf the calf, because the globules are produced by cell growth in precisely tha came manner as the ovulea in the ovary of the cow, or as the ovules ia the ovary of the one. The absurdity of it is apparent to any l n. It was once said, years, ao. that the vbole of a tree exisied in embryo In the cd the rcot, item, tranches and leaf. This ia a parallel misstatement to that In r?pare! to the one who thinks about it, and cr.e is as absurd as another. The fact is, a iin at birth baa no apparent ovales, nor is the ovary fully formed. This grows and iratnres aa the chick increases in age and 9;re, from the ordinary cell growth by which 1he bone, rnu?cle and other parts of the lowl are produced fjom the blood, which la Tuade from the food. The food is eaten and digested and changed ln.o blood; the blood forms the matter from which the cellular t issue ot the animal Is built up. If the food is not sufScitnt for all the demands of the anlpal its Ule is rst sustained; then its sub

stance is added to, bat its productive fanetirrs are not completed or set in action. F r this final purpose of a l'vinj creitar. whether a plant or an animal, fall and suili ciert Rtitriment roujt be Drovijed. A hen will not lay eges unices fnlly fed, Bimly because the ovules in the ovary cn not be crmed without tha cereary substance, which must ccme from tne fooJ. And th?e ovu'es are formed by anasandant growth cf cell tiptoe in proportion to the snpoly of food. The better a hen is fed thn more es-ji He will produce, and as soma hens have teen fenon to Jay over 'J 010 :4S ia the courte of a long life, it is very ciejrthatu Jrk number must have baen produced frou:ehnw, even if sne was provided with t;w at her birth. TI19 whole statement is one f :ncse foolish "facti" of "f,opaUr asieoce'' of which o many ara turned out cf the science mill.

JOHN DUOWVa EXECUTION. Unwritten History Rcjrardlns: U litlated by a Living Virginia:!. A Rctniolscence of Starery Time Kec&Ued by a Picture in Harper' Weekly Itrown'aTripThroash Vlrjlnla Shortly Iiefore the Harper' Frry Uprlius and It Object. IKichmocd (Va.) Special to the New York World. 1 "There is not an item of truth in the picture representing John Brown on his way from jait to the place of execution, &s published In the last natabar of Harper's Weekly," said Colonel W. C. Knight to-day, as he viewed the illustration representing John Brown, of Harper's Ferry, ä3 an old gray htired man taking a farewell kiss from some 1 1 zTö babies held up to him by some weepir. 4 negro women. "The only fact in the rase," continued the Colonel, who i3 theedi or of the Southern Planter, of this city, that John Brown was taken from the jail and executed. Such a representation doe3 great injustice to the negroes of the South, and is calculated.to give a talso impitssion cf tbe ideaa entertained of John lir&wn. Indeed tbe negroes at that time did not know that such a man existed. A short time prior to bis execution he traveled thiongh fc'outbsidff Virginia, going direct to Keterabnr from Harper's Frry, thence through ihe Fourth Dhtrict, now known as the 'Ji ack Bel;' in consequence of the ne crocs beiDg larpily in the majority in that Cor grcssional District. At that time he was passing under the assurxed name cf Dr. Mo Lace, acd no one bad the slightest suspicion that he was John O-tawattoaiie ) Brown. He jtsjed Ivo dajs and two nights with nn In the earlv part of May, 1SÜJ. I was then living in Nottoway, sixty miles ea3t of Richmond. "lie talked about everything m the world except Kansas, and yet be came dinctly from theie; and what was remarkable hbjut the man, he had the mildness and ayFaranceot a clergyman and possessed a very lare fnnd of inttllliience He ap-X-eared to be tixty years of His beard und hair were just tlightly titled with gray. 11 e Eaid he wss traveling through the country, and the fanny part of the thing was we talked together until a late hour at night, I supposing all the time that he was a traveling minister, for he spoke a great deal of tbe dlüerent churches, and gave m; an intermins history of his visit to Naavco, 111. Jce Smith, the leader of the Mormons, was living there then. It was not until next lnorDicg that he told me his ba3ines3 was selling patent tru.$es. I remarked, 'I an very much mistaken in your calling, for I took you for a minister of tbe gospel.' He smilingly replied, 'I do preach sometimes.' "When my mind goe back to that period," said Colonel Knipht, 'I am astonished that a man of bis mildness of manners could be the eame man who was euch a murderer in Kant as. There was an incident, let me tell you right here, in connection with thi3 visit. John Urown and his party were perfect outlaws in Kansas and refused to let any persons from the South bring their slaves to Kansas and eettle there. He was committing so many outrages that his name became famous and he was known as 'Oisawattomie Brown.' Hi3 lawlessness In Kansas had permeated the whole country, especially the Southern States, and Colonel Ilosser, of Petersburg, determined to gat up a company of picked men and go to Kansas and drive Brown out ofthe State. Colonel Uo3sercame to my county, got 100 young men from that acd neighboring counties, thoroughly armed and equipped them, and went to Kansas in March of that year. He had not been there a week before he wa3 ambushed by Brown's ratyr and the result was the company from Virginia became scattered. "Brcwn seeing that he would not again be troubled in Kansas looked forward to a grander scheme, the bringing about of an in Runecticn among the neproes of the South, making tbe grave mistake that they would tlock to his standard when he appeared among them. His visit to Virginia wai to familiarize himself with the country roads and the relative strength of the people of both races. He did not uss any language to Incite the negroes during bis whole trip. He was too smart for that. Soon after he dispersed the men under command of Rosser, he left his party in charge of his son John acd came to Virginia to mature his plans for capturing the arsenal at Harper's Ferry, and make his inroad upon the Southern btatea. John Biown reacted Nottoway beforo the men who went with Colonel Ilo:ser were able to return home After completing his journeyings through south side Virginia, Brown went north to secara forces for his attack on Harper's Ferry, which was made in October. lSO'J." "When did ycu find out that it was John Brown who stopped at your house?" ' I did not suspect it to be him when he was at my house, but after his arrest aid execution there appeared either in Harpei's or Frank Leslie's Magazine, which I was subscribing! to fat the time, the pictures of Brown and his party. My little boy called my attention to the fact that one of those pictures resembled Mr. McLane. I scanned the picture and saw many points of reje nibJance, but whan the trial came on and the evidence began to develop it became known that Brown had traveled through Virginia under the name of Dr. McLane. Governor Wise, who bad interviews with the prisoner, afterwatd told me that John Brown gave him a history of his trip through Virginia, mentioning places where be bad stopped and said he had spent two days and nights at mv house," Colonel Knight, editor of the Southern Planter, of this city, to day gave your correspondent the above chapter of unwritten history which would have doubtless slumbered with his dust but for the illustration mentioned. Dow to Kill Artichokes. T Kansas Farmer. How to destroy the artichoke: Plow under hen they have attained the height of one foot. They only grow from the tubers. At this time the old tubers are decayed and the new ones hare not formed. This has been practiced here to my positive amowledga with perfect success. The great terror of many good people that they vi ia take the farm is a slander on this

innocent plant, and is a great hindrance to its general culture. .Iios also vcill destroy hem if tastured in tbe growing m3oqi. They will produce from 400 to l.OGJ b asils per acre, fhey produce more hog to)A par cre than any other crop I am acquainted with, and the hogs will hardest tha crop themselves. Dairying ti. Wheat Orot let?. Boston Berald.1 The fsrmers of Iowa were among the first to break away from the one cro esteai and to diwfcify their grain griming wiu diiry ing. There are now 400 creameries or cheese factories in that State, and the:r patrons find the industry much more profitable than raising w! at at sixty to seventv can jl bushel on land that ia worth from ? 13 to 100 per acre. The St. Louis Republican remm that the farmers in Northern Missouri hve begun to turn their attsntion in th8 ea ue dinction, and Fays that if one half tha r.i jney and labor expended last rear in raising Missouri's crop of 35 000,000 bnsheis of whe: had been given to dairyinz, tha net result would have been double. It argues that "the markets of the world are glutted with wheat, but the more butter and cheese produced the more there is consumed the demand keeping pa:e with and even outstripping the supply." There is commonly a market for good dairy products at remunerative prices, but It is doubtful if the average profits have been greater than those gained from wheat, taking a period of ten years together. The production of good butter la not altogether a matter of disposition. Much depends upon the pasturage, the water and climatic conditions. Toe dairying belt is as restricted astaewhait blt, taking tue wbole country together. Tbe sections adapted to It can make tne industry profitable. It Is doubtful if tbe oiher eections can do so. The elder settled pr' tions cf the West are experiencing iron the cheap and virgin fields of tho Northwest tha stress of tbe competition b whJon thy forced tbe farmers of the Eastern and Midd:e States to abard'jn grain-cro jvin as a ral'anc diversify their ptr.ducii'rs. History is raPfating itself in compelling them to a lopt a similar policy A sheep shearing machine in Australia is worked by steam. It is made cf brau somewhat in the shane of a trowel, moved by a turbine wheel three inches in diani3ter, geared on another wheel, on which is a cutter. In front is a comb, seVing as agcard etainst cnttiii,; th9 sheep. The steam is conveyed through a tube ot Ind a rubber, i aseited in a second tube the inner tuoe being the channel for injection, the outer for jection. Tha machine works a do shears, tut cuts quicker and cleaner, and inj ares bcither animal nor fleece.

Dr. Wood, of Albemnrle County. Virginia, favj in the Siulhsm Planter: "No one can have a No. 1 ham or bacon without having the right sort of a hcg. perfectly fattened. I give ruy hogs, when fattening specially, an aburdacce of charcoal, burning coil kilus for tbe purpose; also give them .altand cahps rcired, cccasicnally a littlo sulphur tdded. This treatment makrs all of the organs of th9 frierior sound and healthy; benca toe il;h t ill be greatly superior to that of hogi fattened in the usual careless mode." A IJd Omen. WetbouM b" heedful of warnings. Nature cires ns such. Inaciirity of tha kidneys and bladder Is an oncn cf dauccr. The diseases which attack tbose organs are among tbe most fatal and obstiut ie, an arc usually preceded by the above symptom of growirg vreaknes. Tho best invijorant under such circumstances Is Hostet ter's Stomach Bitter?, a safe as well as active remedy. Ihe proper degree of encrsy Is Imparted to tbe operations of theso Important fecretlng and discharging glands, without oversilnulatiou, by tha Eltters. In that respect, s in others, It surpasses and Is preferable to diuretics which orcract. Tho article is aUo a remedy for and prc7i'utlv3 of chills aid fever and bilious remittent, and cures rheumatic ailments lyspetsia, debility an! nervo'iane?9. Don't deisy il vou experieace täo wellknown symptoms of any of these ailments, but uso the Litters at once. Mutten sheen require much more care and attention than the MerinOs, but especially the mutton breeds cn not be herded in great flocks as can the Merinos. Yet, where excellent attention can be paid, as nn well-cultivated farms, the profits are large. Long Words. There is no call to use long words in speaking of Parker's Tonic. It cells on its merits and cores by its virtues. No family can make a mistake by kepiug a bottle in the bouse. For coughs, colds and all troubles cf the bowel?, stomach, liver and kiuney?, it is exactly what you want. For yourself, jour wife and children. One of the best places in ths world if cue can not have a ereen-house in which to keep roses in the kitchen. There is always more or less moisture in the air from the cooking, and as long as the air is moist the batter the growth of your roses. The reputation which a medicine obtains and maintains at home is a pretty sure index to its real worth. The Mayor of the city of Lancaster, Fa., Hon. George Sanderson; the Judge of the Courts, Hon. A. L. Hayes; the President of the Select Council, George leisley; and the Sheriff of the county of Lancaster. Jacob L. Frey, ell unite in attesting the virtues of Mishler'a Herb Bitters. It is the greatest known remedy for diseases if the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys. One egg in win'er is often worth three or four in summer, and th? poulterer who keeps his hens in condition for winter laying will not be disappoioted in the proüts.
