From the Atlanta Constitution.
Among the first railroads built in the United
States was a little line about twenty miles in

many years Il was run IN a cheap way, with one
locomotive. one engineer and two or three
freight cars.

spect and esteem of both the political
and social public Of the capital SO completely
as Judge Taft, who, with his courteous and
atfable manners, as well rs his courteous meth
DDS OF business in the Department of Justice,
has won all hearts. 1t seems to be
matter of fate that the Office of
solicitor general shall be flied with
popular men, as the records bear the names of
many who have left excellent impressions be-
hind them, and Judge Tafts case is culmina-
ton Of them all.
His association with the men of national
reputation whom tho President has selected 80
FAR to compose the new court is high compli-
ment. especially to one of such comparative
youth as Judge Taft, who is still in the thrties.
MR.. GoFF's NOMINATION..
The nomination Of Nathan Golf to be one Of

a great deal of expressed satisfaction at the
Capitol A few were found who regretted the
Presidents choice for they seemed to regard as

SUCH SIGHTS AND souNps
blood-CurdlinE Stories Related by French
Canadian Farmers,

Canadian Farmers.
BosToS, Dec. ia special from Quebec
says: The superstitious French Canadian
farmers of the Isle Of Orleans in the st. Law
renee are terror stricken. The most startling
biood-curdiing stories are told with every indi-
cation of sincerity of recent supernatural appa-
ritlons upon the island, especially in the parish
OF ST. Johns. Able-bodied men say they have
seen such sights and heard such sounds at night
that they no longer dare to leave their homes
after sunset. Much material damage has been
wrought TO dwellings furniture, &c, in such
manner as would indicate carnival
OF mischief to which no human
agency contributed and Of which there is
declared to be most positive proofs. The ter
rified islanders also report appearances of will
-the-wisp, which the country people regard as
evil spirits who en6eavor to lure wandering
people to their destruction. Some of the mys-
FERROUS manifestations ere supposed to be
caused by the spirit of a murderess named
Corriveau, executed in 1853, for having dis
posed OF her husband by pouring molten lead
in his ear while he slept. Her body was for a
long time exposed in an iron cage, affixed to a
pole at the cross roads. Though the cage,
with its CHASTITY contents long since disap-
peared, the people Of the neighborhood still
believe in her supernatural Temperatures
among them.

How to Show . Guest Out

way the American servant knoweth not She
goes to the door with an indecent hsste that
smacks Of glee. She doesn't even open il. she
only sets it ajar with nice calculation OF space
that gives just the crack you can slip out
through, no more. And she even grudges you
that. You have q shamed sense Of being thrust
out into the world, and before you have gath
cred mp your seif-respect and your skirts, while
your heel is still upon the door sill, the snap
OF the knob IN heard behind you. Lucky You
