ONE OF UAIR0,s RAIlRNAns

Since the city OF Cairo must, to some
extent, share in the prosperity Of
the several railroads that find
termini hcre-since the interests Of
the roads and OF the city are, or ought to
be, identical. we note with especial pleas.
urc the growing business importance. and
improved condition of the Cairo and
Nincennes railroad. This road has had
much to contend against. Its manage
ment, at times. was short-sighted and
unfortunate but it seems to have crossed
the Rubicon of its besetments, and
entered upon new and better era.
The present superintendent, Major
Morrill,, is q gentleman who seems well
adapted for the position he occupies. lie
appreciates the value of the road as n
connecting link in the northeast and
southwest system OF roads, and has per-
fectcd connections. and arrangements That
| will eventually render the road an i'm
poriant part OF the great through route
between Texas and the Atlantic sea.
board.
Under the majors superintendent the
road has been placed in very good condi-
ton. The rolling stock is OF the very
| best-thc passenger coaches being of ele-
giant finish, and supplied with the West
inghouse air-break, patent platform and
couplcrs. passengers are not only insur-
good speed and increased safety; but all
the comforts that are enjoyed OH the best
| supplied and the most popular railways
of the country. Right here we may say
to Centennial visitors that no better route
out of Cairo is open to them.
The country along 1.-The route of the
road, hence to Nincenncs has just entered
upon course OF rapid development,
Notwithstanding the general depression.
At every station there are indications of
thrift and prosperity. The vast forests
OF timber arc being converted into lum-
Der, slaves and timber for agricultural
implements. New coal mines are being
opened; and every year adds thousands
OF acres 10 the area of corn. wheat and
tobacco. This being true, there Is of
course, corresponding increase of local
patronage; and to such an extent has
this patronage increased that in an
other year it Is believed it
will furnish an income equal TO the run.
ming expenses of the road, leaving the
through business, which is increasing
very rapidly, to provide for the interest
and principal of the outstanding debts.
IL this be correct showing, land we
have no reason to doubt its correctness)
the road is already on safe footing, and is
certain to become, not only highway of
commercial consequence, but one OF the
best paying roads in the State OF Illinois.
Such an end may not be realized next
year nor within the next tive years but
of its ultimate achievement we entertain
no doubt whatever.

lie village of East Falmouth, four or
miles rom Falmouth, reycls in ghostly
sensation. Ii is no ordinary ghost that
walks IN the twilight, or appears at mid.
night to the terrified beholdcr. Broad
daylight and clear sunshine are the con-
ditiohs OF Its appearance. Several weeks
ago, the wife OF Eleazer Fish, while
calling on neighbor. looked toward her
house and saw woman sitting at the
window. Knowing that she had left the
mouse empty, she Immediately re-
turned home, but to lind it
still empty. In few days the same
thing happened again. A witness was
called, and plainly saw the woman. On
approaching the house. the shape van
ished and did not again appear Shortly
after, the aspiration was again seen at
the window. this time with a baby in her
arms. And since there have been many
| appearances of the ghostly lady. some
times with and sometimes without the
infant. She generally appears on pleas
| ant day, and usually when the spectator
stands ut q certain distance from the
house. Within this distance no shape is
visible. The spiritual visitor IL supposed
to be the first wife of Mr.. Fish, who died
some years since, and the infant Is set
down as the present Mrs. flsh's child.
who died last winter. Mr.. Fisli's family
| are not In the least disturbed by the
apparition, but rather cljoy the
novelty of the situation. In fact
some of the members of the family take
pride in saying that. in addition to the
spectacle at the window, ghostly noises
are frequently heard within the house.
But there are scoiers at all this, aud al
though every one admits that at times
the window in question shows a singular
appearance. the sccplics say il is merely
reflection from some object near by,
and that is sudden appearance is due 10
its never having been noticed before. One
lady remarks that nobody but weak
minded persons can see ghosts. and that
the village clergyman, on being invited
to inspect the spectacle, said after a min
utcs's observation that some folks could
see great deal more than lac could.
whcrcat the believers are greatly in
