WHERE A TRAGEDY TOO1 PLACE. l "I wouldn't tear that front wal down for $20,000 cash," sai( Thomas H. Green, of Philadelphis S"Hundreds of people have aske, me why I didn't erect a nicer fron when I was overhauling the build ing," continued Mr. Green, "but much prefer allowing the old brici front to remain, because of th histori.c associations of the build ing. Here it is that Benedict Ai nold once made his home. In th early part of the present centur; the building came into the posses sion of the ancestors of the wel known Burd and Shippen families whose histories are prominentl: interwoven with that of the cit; itself. One of the female numberf of the Burd family on dying be queathed the property to a relative with the injunction that the hom< should never be converted intc stores. To disobey this command would necessitate demolishing- the front, and so you see why it is I wish to allow the wall to remain because by so doing I consider ] am complying with the dying in junction of its former owner. "Do you know there is a roman tic story connected with the house?' said Mir. Green. "About flft years ago one of the daughters o: the Burd family was engaged to be married to a prominent Southern gentleman. On the night before the day fixed for the wedding a large company was gathered in the parlor of the mansion, and the con versation turned upon ghosts When the hour for retiring hai arrived, the ladies were pretty well worked up with the stories they had heard. The betrothed couple lingered a few moments in the par lor, and when the lady expressed a fear of meeting with a ghost hei brother spoke up and said : 'Look out for the ghost of Benedict Ar nold to-night,' The Southerner handing the lady a pistol, said Place this under your pillow, and if any, ghost appears don't be afraid to shoot.' "The brother, who was a sort of reckless fellow, resolved to have some fun. He contrived to steal away from his sister, and wher everybody was asleep he dressed himself in the uniform of an office of the continental army. Entering the chamber of his sister he made s noise which awoke her, and wher the terrified girl saw what she be. lieved to be the ghost- of Arnold she set up such a screaming thai she awakened the household. In m few minutes the room was filled with the other members of the tam ily. "When the matter was explained by the e'rring brother, the future husband of the sister became sc angry that he then and there chal lenged the brother to fight a duel In a few hours the preliminaries were all arranged. A little piece of woods'in the southwestern parl of the city was selected, whici they reached about daylight. Pis tols were produced, and the tw< plucky men faced .each other a1 twenty yards' distance. At thi first fire both fell, and when thi seconds and physicians drove up t< the~ mansion in the early hours oj the morning they tenderly conveyec -tro corpses to a resting-place with in its portals, and the heartbrokei sister was compelled to mourn thd untimely death of a brother and lover."

HlOW AN BV&Y TUBER DEAD. ex ing It a is general habit among many the species of ants to bury the dead b4l very carefully. The following in ion terestmg account is given by an v." Australian observer: "saw a large ed number of ants surrounding the dead ones, and determined to watch their proceedings closely. Four or five started off from the rest - toward a hillock a short distance away, in which was an ant's nest. ,ith This they entered, and in about five minutes they reappeared, fol on- lowed by the others. All fell into In't rank, walking regularly and slowly ap- two by two, until they arrived at _n the spot where lay the soldier ants. may In a few minutes two of the ants iils advanced and took up the dead body :es of one of their comrades, then two a others, and so on until all were ;d ready to march. First walked two at- ants bearing a body, then two others ity with another dead ant, and so on, until the line was extended to ith about forty pairs. and the procession i now moved slowlyonward, followed rld by an irregular body of about 200 By ants. Occasionally the two lden. ur- ants stopped, and laying down-the ife dead ant, it was taken up by the in- two walking unburdened behind ble them, and thus, by occasionally e." relieving each* other, they arrived .gy at a sandy spot near the sea. The an body of ants now commenced dig ging with their jaws a number of er- holes in the ground, into each of ou which a dead ant was laid, when i they were carefully covered over. 1 This did not quite finish the remark. ith able circnistances attending the funeral of the ants.~ Some six or g seven of the ants had attempted to les run off without perforing .their to share of the task of digging; these me were caught and brought back I when they were at once attacke ,oa by the body of ants and killed. mot A single grave was quickly dug ou and they were all dropped into it. ac- WE w l E GO'WLES. in- - if Everybody had been abusing the poor conductor because his train me was four hours behind tie: and the man was nearly 'worn out ex. plaining that it was not hia fault.
