of James Madison, Felix Grumpy, John
Holmes, and the devil?" "Mr. Speaker"
said he az will tell the gentleman. The first

the nullifiers, and is at work among the

the first train arriving amid booming OF
cannon, rineing of bells and screeching of
cam whistles. Deputations of citizens,
n saded by the Mayors of the several cities,
met the train at various points en- route,
and the day was made holiday by general
proclamation. Public buildings and resi-
dences were decorated and refreshments
provided for the visiting officials. This
opens up new era for this section Of the
Ohio Valley, which has heretofore had no
railroad connection with the outside

they believe that their hopes for future
prosperity are better than ever before.
Their railroad was promised them as q New

GIenwood Postomco Trouble.

GLESwooD, December 30-[Special. j.
Murphy, recently under arrest, and his
clique have knowingly misrepresented af-
fairs concerning the Glenwood postof1ice
from beginning to end. The Indianapolis
Journal stated that Murphy voluntarily
went before Judge Woods, and was fined
$40 for interfering with the United States
mails.
Anyone who is acquainted with the fact
knows that Murphy did not voluntarily go
before Judge Woods but he was arrested
by United States mail detective, and
placed under bond.
Murphy states that he told Cook, after he
got the Office. that ii had to be removed
from his house, and he refused to do il.
This is wilful Misrepresentation and not
q word of truth in Ii, for it was the inten-
ton of the people to have the Office moved

RAINBOW sUPERSTITTONS.

Curious Beliefs Entertained by Various
People Conserving tho Beauteous Arch.
Chicago Herald.
The rainbow Is frequently credited
with great power for good or evil. 1t is
a widespread belief that it hides great
riches, or brings fortunes or good luck
with it. In swabia it is said to rest in
bowls OF gold; in Hungary that cups Of
silver will be found where it touches
the earth or water, and tho finder will
divine the future. 1t is quite likely
that shoe cast over it will fall on the
other side filed with gold, as it is be-
lieyed in Bernie and among Swabian
peasants. The difficulty Is to get it
over. In Carinthia it is hat. Czech
tradition says that il iron or other base
metal be cast into the rainbow 1t will
turn to gold, and similar things are re-
corded OF it in the Tyrol. In many
parts OF Germany a golden key, or q
treasure, is said 10 be found where the
bow touches the earth; in Portugal a
silver men, anu IN modern IreeCe u
curious Byzantine coin, called Con-
stantine coin. Any one finding this
will be endowed with marvellous power.
In Norway it is said that n cup and
spoon, with a kind Of cruel, will be
found where the bow rests. II is also
believed to bestow health,
Among the Let's il you can reach the
bow and touch ityou will have the heal
ing power. The water found beneath
the arch will, it Is believed, cure those
afflicted with demoniacy. Old women
keep this water in trenches dug in the
ground or in o hollow tree, but not in
the house, whereit will lose its force OF
bring some disaster TO the household.
1t is also said that focks should not be
pastured where the bow rests, or they
will fall sick. German peasants say the
touch OF bow will render plants odorant,
On the other hand, In como parts oil
