Mary Stuart's Appnrition,

The frequent mention Of the recent
restorations in Hollywood does not seem to
have reminded anybody of the last ap-
partition OF Mary Stuart within the pre-
cincts she is said to haunt Some twenty
years ago the late Countess of Caithness,
who managed TO combine spiritualism
with Catholicism, induced the Marquis of
Hamilton to allow her to pass the hight
in the apartments once occupied by Mary
stuart. in which the murder of Rizzio
took place. 1t was a lovely moonlight
night, and the countess, who was very ro-
mantle, determined to visit the chapel,
which she did by descending the staircase
up which the conspirators assembled when
they assassinated Queen Mary's Italian
secretary. She proceeded to the ruined
altar before which Mary was married TO
Darnley. ''a t. .Ilt iu .b33 Ij
Suddenly the apparition Of the unfor-
tunate queen appeared before her, holding
her severed head in her hands, and not
withstanding the inconvenience she must
have experienced from the singular posi-
ton of her head, gave Lady Caithness a
lengthy answer to the charges brought
against her. The countess shortly after
ward wrote a small book containing the
information she received. a copy Of which
she presented to Queen Victoria, who re-
marked to the late Lady Ely that sit was
very Interesting and so amusing" When
the spirit of the queen had disappeared,
Lady Caithness wished to re-enter the
palace, but found the door closed. The
sentinels, seeing some one wandering
about in an unaccustomed place at so late
an hour, reused the porter, who, doubling
her ladyship's account of herself. locked
her up for the rest of the night in his
lodge.-London Chronicle.

1t takes woman to see great posi-
bilities in little things. For instance. n
man never thinks of toothbrush as any
thing but toothbrush, while woman
sees in it endless capabilities. If a win
dow pane rattles at night, she wedges it
tight with a toothbrush. If she is sud

the toothbrush handle. She has even
been known to use it to loosen the mold

the heel of her boot, and transform n

HIGHLAND AND The RAILROAD.

The Highland Recorder denies with
emphasis that the people of Highland
are hostile to railroad. There has
been, however, belief existing among
the persons connected with the pro-
prosed railroad that there did exist
urfriendliness toward the scheme.
This we hoped was not true. We
would like to see Highland crossed by
a through line, and trust that if her
people have the opportunity to get
such line they will not let 1t slip out
of their clutches. 1t Is not expected
that they would do anything beyond
giving the right of way, or very low
damages in the event the right coul(
not be given. The opportunity to tes
the beliefs of the Editor of the Recor
der as to friendliness may soon pre-
sent themselves, and we trust tina
when face to face with the proposition
there may be no deviation. The roat
in our opinion, should pass right b.

An apology is due the readers of the
SPECTATOR for certain language that
appeared in our columns last week in
a card signed by Mr.. W. A. Crawford.
The use of az epithet in that card cal
culated to offend would never have
been permitted had the proper
authority of the Office seen the
article before it was printed.
In the first place epithets have
no place in the SPECTATOR. In the
second they tend toward breaches of
the peace. In the third they neither
answer a charge, nor afford an argu-
ment. They are generally the result
OF passion instead Of good sense. and
often the person using them regrets
their use far more than the person at
whom they are aimed We therefore
regret that our absence permitted the
insertion of that portion of Mr.. Craw-
ford's card. In such a case money cuts
no figure. Expressions of that char
acter cannot appear in the SPECTATOR
| to offend the taste of the refined and
intelligent people who read it. II
printed they must appear elsewhere.
