THIE JUDICIARY SYSTEM.

To the Editor of the Democrat:In the interest of general discussion, I sub-

TIHE WHITE LADY.Reappearance of the Famous Ghost of

the House of Hohenzollern.IN. Y. Herald.]

A strange story is making the rounds of theGerman press, being an account of the ap-pearance of the white lady, who is supposedto make her appearance as a ghost at certaintimes to announce the death of some memberof the Hohenzollern family. Very recentlythe cable brought us the announcement of thedeath of the young Prince Waldemar, ofPrussia, the third ron of the Crown Prince ofGermany, and now we learn from an accounttelegraphed by an English correspondentfrom Berlin that the mysterious lady in whitemade her appearance on the eve of the youngprince's death. "It may interest those whohappen to be learntd in Berlin legends toknow," says the correspondent, "that accord-ing to report the white lady, whose visits al-ways precede the death of some member of theroyal family of Prussia, was seen on theeve of Prince Waildeima's death. A soldier onguard at the Old Palace was the witness ofthe apparition, andthe in his fright fled to theguard-house, when he was at once arrestedfor deserting his post." No further particu-lars are yet to hand, and it will probably befound that the senutinel had been listening tostories of the occasional appearance of themysterious lady just before he mountedia, and that the "apparition" was some-gvry human after all. Legendary his-tory does however, tell us of many visits ofthe white lady to the Hohenzollern castles atBayreuth, Ausbach and Berlin. She made agreat stir about the commencement ot thePresent century on the occasion of the Frenchoccupation of nayreuth, when she took great

'delight in annoying the foes of the Hohen-ovisiets t e healso reputed to have paid

visits to Napoleon I while he re--thed and athe old castle at Bay-Se uth; an a Bayreuth Margrave was

th• nallan ... to Dltchawhite ladyL CbOL that he had Maimed olae ine lext

domestics for life. The legend of the appear-ance of the woman in white as a premonitreesof death has long been connected with theHohenzollern family history. Old Meriandeclares that she was frequently seen in theOld Palace at Berlin in the years 1652 and165•3, and Stilling, the mystic, and friend ofGmthe, was a firm believer in the phantom.The last appearance of a white lady in Europewas in 1873, in the Imperial castle in Vienna.But the white lady, being a Hohenzollernspectre, the Hapeburg visitor was in all prob-abllity an impostor. -We are inclined all themore to this belief from the fact that the sen-tinel to whom she appeared tried the effect ofhis bayonet upon the phenomenon, and therewas a gentle rumor whispered about Viennathat somebody had been wounded-some love-ly lady whose white dress shone in the moon-lit corridors.

AN AFFEC lINI SCtENE.

Tilden at the Bedside of a Gatlant Dyingboldler.

[Speelal to Washington Post.]Nxw YORK April 13.--S. L. M. Barlow, in

speaking of the death of Gen. Richard laylorlast evening, said that Gen. Taylor realizedthe fact that his death was inevitable, and,with his -usual catmness, expressed a desirethat his funeral ceremonies should be of themost simple character. "If I die," he said,"bury me, like a soldier, on a tented field;I desire no pomp, no floral offerings; lay meto rest quietly, and I shall sleep all thequieter." During the day the residence ofMr. Barlow was besieged by visitors, amongwhom were many military men and a numberof Southerners who fought inder him. Abouta week ago Mr. Samuel J. Tilden called atMr. Barlow's residence to inquire after thehealth of the General, whom he had knownintimately for the past ten or twelve years.On hearing that the ex-Governor was belowGen. Taylor asked to have him shown up atonce. His attendants tried to dissuade him,on the ground that in his critical conditionthe excitement of the interview would provedangerous. The General insisted on seeingand conversing with the visitor, however,and Mr. Tilden was summoned to his bed-side. The interview which followed was anaffecting one. Mr. Tilden took the hand ofthe (lying man, and expressed his deep regretat seeing him in such a condition. Gen. Tay-lor pressed the Governor's hand in return andthanked him for his sympalhy. Mr. Tildengazed for a moment at the dying face and then,bending over, kissed him upon the forehead.".No man," he said to Gen. Taylor, "has everhad a wiser, truer or more unselfish friendthan you have been to me." Mr. Tilden firstmuet Gen. Taylor at the Philadelphia conven-tiFn in 1866. He was struck with his wit,candor and other engaging qualities, and thetwo speedily became warmu friends. Duringhis subsequent visits to the North the Generalcalled frequently upon Mr. Tilden, and thefriendship, begun in 1866, ripened into a closeintimacy. In the campaign of 1876 the Gen-eral took a very active interest in Mr. Til-den's canvass, and was one of the most effi-cient workers in the contest that ended In hisfriend's election. Mr. Tilden entertained thehighest opinion df Gen. Taylor's sagacity,and particularly esteemed him for his moder-ate and statesmanlike views upon questionsgrowing out of the late war.

Riss Wharlon's Pie.(From an English Paper.]

Miss Margaret Wharton was a lady of goodfamily and large fortune. She was one ofthe Whartons of Skelton Castle, Cleveland,and possessed 200,000, half of which sheI gave to her nephew. She was well known in

Scarborough, where she used to send for "apennyworth of cream" and "a pennyworth ofstrawberries," always paying her pennydown. From this little peculiarity she soonbecame known as Peg Pennyworth. On oneoccasion, while in Scarborough, she had ameat-pie made; it was very large, being forherself, some visitors and the servants. She

I ordered her footman to take it to the bake-r house. He refused, saying it was not con-3 sistent with his dignity to be dressed in hisB plush and tags carrying a meat-pie. Mrs.s Peg then desired the coachman to take it,r but he also declined. "Bring out the car-

riage," was the command. The carriage washarnessed, the coachman donned his pow-1 dered wig and mounted the box, the footman-ascended behind, and Mrs. Margaret Whar-1 ton, sitting in state in the carriage, bore the1 meat-pie in her lap. "Drive to the bake-

hoase," was her command. In an hour ortwo, the same state being observed, the pieI was brought back. "Now," she said to theH coachman, "you have kept your place, whichr is to drive, and you," turning to the footman,t "have kept yours, which is to wait; and now3 we will all have some of the pie."

i l. IPreisidential 'andlldates In New England.

BosToN, April 13.-The Herald to-day printsan article on the political prospects for 1880,which concludes as follows: "The New Eng-land Republicans, as a whole, have no cho,ice.As their second choice they prefer Grant, buteven to this there are great objections, and ifhe is nominated bolts can be depended upon.The Democrats at present go for Mr. Tilden,because they believe, at least in this state,that he was once elected to the Presidencyand defrauded thereof. Ils friends growmore numerous day by day, and if the resultdepended upon the party in New England itwould not be doubtful. So much we gatherfrom our correspondents; so much we inferfrom the press. We are all liable to be mis-taken, but it seems to us hardly possible,whatever the Democrats may do, that Grant-ism will ever again receive the indorsementof New England."

Pocahontas' Birch-Bark Canoe.[Raleigh (N. C ) Observer.

In the Museum of the Department of Agri-culture can be seen a genuine birch-barkcanoe. It is said to have some historical In-terest attached to it. The Indian Princess,Pocahontas, is said to have once owned it,and once upon a time desported herself in iton the noble James, along with Capt. JohnSmith (before she met Rolf). But one nightit broke from its moorings and was blown outto sea and was afterwards picked up by somesailors and carried to Erie, Pa., from whenceit comes as a present to the department.

The Banner Bale Rolls On.[Augusta (Ga.) News.]

The "Benner bale" has now reached Mont-gomery, Ala. This is the bale of cottondonated by Misst Clara Conway, of Memphis,to the Benner fund. The Memphis CottonExchange sold it for $520. It was then sentto New Orleans, where it brought $1310; inGalveston, $1109, and in other places corres-ponding amounts. After it is sold in Mont-gomery it will be shipped direct to Augusta.when the liberal-hearted people of that citywill have an opportunity of doing somethingtowards the Benner fund.

LOUISIANA CRIMINAL NOTES.

A SERIOUS DIFFICULTY IN EAST CARROLL.

About 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning last,down on the Morganza plantation, ArchieHaney, colored, created a fuss with James W.Dunn by daring him to come out of his house.Haney had a double-barrel shotgun, which heleft on his gallery, and went to ds Dunn'shouse with a heavy stick in hisS nd; whenhe got to Dunn he struck him a •olent blowon the left arm, and followed it up with a blowon the head, cutting an ugly gash, bringingDunn to his knees: he then started for his gunto finish the work, when Dunn drew a pistol,fired one shot, the ball striking Haney aboutthe centre of the back, below the waist.Haney fell forwards on his face almost with-in reach of his gun, and lay there insensible.About 11 a. m. a messenger came to Provi-dence in hot haste, asking for help, sayingthe colored people were surrounding thehouse where Dunn was and threatening totake him out. In a very short time the sheriffhad a posse of some twenty-five well armedmen, and in company with his deputy, MajorS. D. Oliver, and the posse, went down toTransylvania, where they found Mr. Dunn,but no assemblage of negroes.-[Carroll Con-servative.

ARREST OF A MURDERER.

Sheriff Tannerhil, of Winn parish, passedthrough our city last week en route for theparish seat of Winn with Henry Odum, whois charged with committing murder in thatparish twelve years ago. In 1866, WilliamOdum and Henry Odum, brothers, butcheredwith knives Mr. William Furlong. Aftercommitting this heinous crime they jumpedthe State for Texas, to evade arrest. In themonth of December the district attorney ofWinn learned the whereabouts of the twocriminais-'that they were living in Nacog-doches county. He at once acquainted thesheriff of Nacogdoches county with the factsand armed him with a requisition. On thethirteenth of March the sheriff of that coun-ty, with a posse of deputies, proceeded to thehouse of the Odums. Wm. Odum was ar-rested without any trouble, and Henry Odum,who was considered a dangerous character,was completely taken off of his guard bystrategy; one of the deputies bantering himfor a wrestigng match, which he accepted,and as soon as the shaeriff knew that his

deputy had a firm hold, gave the signal, andHenry Odum was overpowered thrown t, theground and pinioned before Le was awarethat he was a prisoner. On the way to thejail Win. Odum made his escape, and is up-posed to be In the State.-[Natchitoches Vin-dicator.

GEN. TAYLOR ABROAD.

The Impression He treated on All Classesof Eminent People--His social

Triumphs.IN. Y. Herald.]

The crowning triumphs of Gen. Taylor'ssocial career were won in England and on theContinent of Europe some years ago. He firstgained notoriety at the London clubs by hisadmirable skill as a whist player. He was adisciple of Hoyle and the older school of play-ers, and cared little for the modern niceties ofthe game. His memory" was wonderful, anhe never forgot a card. The English club men,who had learned their science from JamesClay, Cavendish and Pole, were astonished atthis old-fashioned player, who beat them inspite of their rules and formulas. So Gen.Taylor's fame came to the ears of the Prince 1of Wales, who loves a rubber next to a tigerhunt, and they met at the MarlboroughClub one night and played together.thus began an intimacy which enduredto the last. Wherever the Princewent, whether to Sandringham for a whiffof rustic air, or to Scotland to stalk thedeer, or to the races at Ascot, or to the univer-sity boat race on the Thames, thither he wascertain to Invite Gen. Taylor. He intro-duced him at Windsor to the Queen, and theQueen was so charmed with his company thatstle prayed him to stay for a week at theCastle. When the prince went to India he ninvited Gen. Taylor to be one of the party. hBut the General preferred to stay in London,and many a quiet rubber was played at the rMarlborough House by the Princess, the iiDuke of Camblidge and the American while Bthe Prince was riding in an elephant howdas rthrough the jungles of Nepaul. In the royal abox at Ascot his figure was familiar to everyjockey on the course, though his means neverallowed him to own race horses and rarely tobet. One wager lie took, however, the lessue ofwhich troubled him to the last. He was on thePrince's boat following the university crews when the Earl of Dudley, spying some tokenof French imperialism on the I wn at Chis- •wick, suddenly cried that he would bet 5000 rto 10, twice over, that the Napoleonicdynasty was never restored in France. The ePrince of Wales took one of these bets, Gen.Taylor took the other, and he has ever since bregarded the metamorphoses of French poll- dtics with an uncommonly wistful eye. But cdespite this new-born ardor for Imperialism rhe was received with much distinction in cParis by Marshall MacMahon, and even the drugged Bismarck greeted him with a warmththat savored of personal friendship. Indeed,his passsge across the Continent was one ofunalloyed triumph, and the first gentlemenin Europe were proud to call him theirfriend.

At the root of this prodigious success layhis wonderful faculty for being all things toall men. Whatever the topic of conversationmight be to that he would adapt himself.To men of a younger generation he was par-ticularly charming. When the faster mem-bers of the Prince of Wales' set would meetat the Marlbor.ough he would discuss coacheswith Lord Carington. cock pheasants withLord A} lesford and the latest horse race withLord Charles Beresford. In the park withthe Princess and children, his manner wasredolent of antique chivalry, At the TurfClub he would arrange handicaps withAdmiral Rous and help Lord Roseberymake his bok for the Newmarket meeting.At the Athenmeum he would cross literaryswords with Sir Charles Dilke, and at theUnited Services would discuss military tac-tics with Sir Garnet Wolsey and LordNapier of Magdala. Nothing came amiss tohim. George Otto Trevelyan, nephew ofLord Macaulay, read his articles in the NorthAmerican Review, and said there was in himthe stuff of a great military writer. States-men listened with delight to his disserta-tions on tihe American constitution. VonMoltke himself gave in his honor the dinnerat which he met Prince Bismarck. Every-where he spread about him the charm of hispersonality, and nothing distinguished himfrom the crowd of raconteurs more than this,that his conversation was never forced or outof place, never labored or prepared before-hand, welling up naturally from the stores ofa naturally rich mind.

DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS.

Two Hotbloods, a woman, a Feud, aChtllenge and Duel in Montana.

[Helena (Montana) H,,rald. March 28.]

From parties arriving from Beverhead welearn that a duel, fatal to both participants,was fought at Glendale on Sunday morninglast. A fued, some time existing between J.Littlefield and A. II. Foster, was the causeof an angry quarrel, which on several recentoccasions came very near precipitating anarmed encounter. Both were rivals for theaffections of one and the same woman. Foe-ter was successful in his suit for the hand of3 the lady, married her and settled down to

the enjoyments of domestice life. For a spellthe differences of the two men were bridged3 over or held in check awaiting a suitable op-3 portunity for their settlement. The ardor of

Littlefleld's love was not assuaged by ther lapse of time nor his ugly jealousy relievedby the vows which sepatated the womanfrom his possession. Revenge rankled in hisbosom, which opposition in business servedperhaps to aggravate. The trouble finallyculminated in a challenge to fight, and ameeting was arranged as above stated.Neither shrunk from the encounter, andeach used his revolver to kill. Both firedsimultaneously and both fell in their tracks.Littletleidd was shot through the heart andSdied almost instantly, while Foster, who was

Shit in a vital part, expired four hours after.F Both parties were sporting characters.

One Who las Been There.[Atlanta Constitution.]

A prominent citizen of our city sends us aletter received by his colored nurse from hersister, who was induced to leave her home Iand go to Zanesville, Ohio. She says: "Ifyou can make a living in the South, you hadbetter remain where you are. This has al-ways been a free State. but colored people

can get along with Southern folks a greatdeal bettes than with the Yankees." Whenwe hear the report from the colored peoplewho have recently gone to Kansas it will beon the same line, but more to the point. Onlya f w years ago colored people were gulled

by designing men who came here and gothundreds to go to Mississippi. They wererobbed of everthing they had, and manydied. Now they are taking them off in drovesfrom Mississippi to Kansas; in a few yearsthe remnant who have survived the coldwinds of the prairies will be hustled off tosome other country to put a few dollars inthe pocket of some ingenious speculator.
