An open door,wher God's great angel stand; Without, the star-sown midnight and the cold, A shroud of darkness round the dead world rolled : Within, a many-chambered palace fair: Along the walls, like painted tapestry, Waver tbe snaaowy aaapes ui iuiugi to be Love self-surrendered, crowned with golden hair, The sacriice of married lips and hands; There, foe with foeman meets In ghostly tight. On strange dim fields in lands un known, afar There Victory's lifted helm shines like a star; Or over some dead passion falls the night Of silence and defeat and vanquished Right, And every chamber is a fair new day, Full of all power and possibility.

In a picturesque corner among the Carolina hills there is an old mill,' concerning which strange tra ditions are told. The lower story is built of unhewn rock, while tbe upper story consists of two sub stantial room 8. One of the rooms is larger than the other, the email- . . , m. ! : er one oeing a mere cioeei in com parison with the front apartment. rhe mill looks as though it had . .11. been built to resist a siege, anu it surely has witnessed many strange and horrible scenes, even if but the half that is told is true. The mill , was built just before the war of the Revolution. It is appropriately situated at the foot of a red hill. The trees that stand around are massive, but few. A gray and solitary sycamore grows near the little oriclge and stands ike a bhrouded form; tbe rest of the trees are oak. Tbe trumpet vine is now rank near the entrance to the building, and its blooms are tothe fanciful mind the gory fin gers of a murderer, reeking with the fresh blood of his victim. The pork weed is there, too, with its red stalk, red hemes ana r-UJien leaves. The little stream almost encircles the mill in a sinuous line. About the beginning of the Rev olution several Tory families in habited the country. A young man of one of these families loved the daughter of a zealous Whig, and tbe day had been appointed for the marriage. When it was first whispered among tbe neigh bors that the youth had aided with the Tories, the girl was almost bro ken hearted, but declared that she would not believe the fact till she bad heard it from bis own lips. ! Sooner i than she expected she had the chance. One evening as she was milking the cows her lover lumped over the fence and stood before ber. She told him instant ly what she had heard, expecting a vehement denial. 'Yes," he said ; "it is all true, and before another year your fath er will wish he was as I am." "He would see his grave first, tbe girl indignantly replied. "lie may not have far to go to find it," tbe young man vowed, with a peculiar intonation in his a voice." He persisted in following the girl, against her will, to the house The girl's, father was there and he forbade his neighbor entrance, say ing an enemy to his country was not welcomed in his house. She ardently sanctioned, by word and manner, the action of her father. Tradition does not tell all that fol lowed. However, tbe young man whose name was Jack Colton, left in a towerinsr race, swearing that when next he returned he would enter if he pleased; went away and was seen no more until a year af terward. Pretty Nancy Langon continued to milk her cows. There was so much tumult and confusion in the country that peo ple became inured to danger and were not afraid. And iNancy, large buxom maiden of 18, was proud of her own courage. Her mother was an invalid and timid, and she closed the shutters if tbe wind was heard among the pines. "It all sounded like tbe groans of dying men," she would sav Her husband and four sons were with General Greene, and even the slightest suggestion of their death was terrible to her. Her younger daughter va was of ber, tempera ment. She shivered, too, wnea toe wind blew too hard or when neighboring woman brought in the', nn tidings 0f the disastrous result of some far-off battle.- Little; Eva would crouch closer to her mother and they two, with hands clasped, would pray for their far-off i loved ones, and that the merciful Father would not forget them in ther help less condition. 1 Bat on such occasions Nancy would throw open the windows and wish that tbe were a man that she might be with her father and broth err, to, j fight for the eountfj she Joyed so well. j j Onejday their father returned quite unexpectedly. The pews bad iust preceded bis arrival that Jack Colton land a dozen other Tories were fn tbe neighborhood! The women were torn by conflicting emotiona: iov UDon the return of the father and husband, mingled with fear for his safety. There was a neighbor's daughter spending the night with Nancy and Eva, and early the next morning the two girls started to accompany their friend a part of the way home, which! was not far distant. The direction lay toward the old mill. Under the shadow of tbe .building lar the bridge, and as the two girls stood (bidding their friends good bye Jack Colton, with a half dozen comrades, ran down the stone steps and eeiied them. Thq three girls were borne scream ing to the rooms above. Their little brother, a lad o 9 or 10swho had trailed after his sisters, jbut had lingered behind throwing stones and I eating the wavside berries, saw the terrible scene.! I i i He was t the top of the hill and was not seen or could not be caught, or DerhaDs Jack and his followers did not care. The child ran back and told the terrible tale. The old father start- ed after! his daughters. From the window of the mill be was seen, but rWr until he had taken his atand'under a straight tree, whose branches were all far above his head. (II Herwas now plainly visible and was a clear target. He appeared unarmed. But he might have stood there k he was safe, jit was not bis blood tbe neighbor ( wanted, knowing as "he did that life and consciousness was sucn agony to tbe stricken father as a thousand bullefs could never produce. j He heard hia daughter's screams. One was allowed to appear j for a momentj at tbe window that he might See her, and still , be" stood, appearing not to have the power to move.j j '! ' I Jeering faces appeared at the window! and taunts. were hurledat him. i Then suddenly Jack Colton flung wide open the door and ap peared standing on the threshold. With a laugh and a curse he cried out to I the old man to come ana join them. i I I Quick as a flash the old Qmt and steel was caught up from against tbe dark trunk of tbe tree,! where it bad I unperceived been placed. In an instant there was a flaBb, fol lowed by a report, and Jack Col ton's brains and blood stained the door against which he was leaning. The stain is pointed out to this day. Piancy ana ner irienu iiveu sou married. Eva died soon after tbe terrible! catastrophe that unhinged her mind. It is said that the devil was se-n soon afterward . walking through that room, which bad been and remained as long as they were in polrtr,a rendezvous forfairies. It is said that Satan wits seen, heard and tbe sulphur smelt, and his tracks burned in the solid floor that are pointed out as evidences of the truth of this assertion. Tbe natives point, out the track of his club foot, then of his other foot, and so ion. There, too, lire the prints where the red hot chain touched the floor as he dragged it behind him. Some believe.! "Else," they isayi "how werej those tracks made? ' Ana loosing upon tnem burned into tbe floor, as they are, thev do send a strange thrill of be lief through tbe one beholding them and knowing the story of the un fortunate girls to be a true one. Philadelphia Times, j j I i I ! I ! Anthracite Coal in Madison, i i Col. James M. Ray. tells the Asheville Citizen of a find: recently made inj Madison county that will, if it develops as fully as it now gives indication of doing, prove of vast importance to Western North Carolina at least. While some la borers were at work editing out a new road on the property iof Thos Garrett indications ; of coal were found. ! Mr. Garret! began an in vestigation, Invoking the aid of an i a..a$.a' expert, with tbe result that the de posit was pronounced, anthracite coat of good quality and apparently in practically inexhaustible quan tity. Workmen have been tunnel ing into the mountain in exposing the'deposit and have gone in some forty feet. Mr. Garret isjthe own er of a considerable tract in j tbe vicinity of Hot Springs. The land on which the coal ! was found lies three or four miles below j the Spring?, and about half a mile from the Western North railroad. Carolina Old People.

THE EXPOSITION CLOSED. Atlanta's Great Fair a Financial and Artistic Success. Atlahta, Ga., Dec. 31. The In ternational and Cotton States Ex position, , which was opened Sep tember 18, was closed to-night after a most successful career of 100 days. f . - - The final day opened clear and bright. During the early morning the temperature was very low, but after the sun rose the weather mod erated rapidly and tbe grounds were thronged. Many of the exhibitors had a laree harvest in tbe sale oi souvenirs, while the Chinese village auctioned off the bric-a-brac. The exhibits were all in good shape and were not disturbed until after dark. This evening tbe beautiful ilium ination was given and tbe electric fountain displayed its charms for the multitude. To-night a force of experts began packing up the pie tures in the art gallary and a simi lar work was begun on. tbe govern ment exhibit and the Mines and Forestry Building. Mr. Inman, chairman of the fin ance committee, said the exposi tion, when all the debts are paid, will have cost tbe city of Atlanta about 200,000, or less than 10 per cent, of the money expended on the enterprise. This includes the orig inal subscription and the appro priation made by the city. The re suit is regarded as very satisfac tory. It is estimated that the im mediate benefit to Atlanta in money expended here by exposition visi tors amounts to $5,000,000 and that the ultimate benefits to the city and the cotton States are immeasurably beyond this or any other conserva tive figure that could be approxi mately stated. The last day of tbe exposition was devoted to the women. It is a day held in honor of the work done bv the committees ox ladies in tne different departments and the mem bers of the .women! board. The tickets weref of .attractive form, bearing the likeness of Mrs. Joseph Thompson stamped thereon. The women nave acnieveu an im . - . I , 1 X portant part in the Atlanta Expo sition. By their aid many pleasant features have been added to tbe programme each day. All of tbe directors oi the expo sition and all members of tbe wo men's board held a final reunion in the assembly room of the woman's building., j Mr. Potte Palmer, of Chicago, has sent hii check for 91,000 to Mrs. Joseph Thompson to be used in tbe maintenance of the woman's building fori! some permanent en temrise lor; the advancement of women, or for any otber object of charity to which Mrs. Thompson may elect to apply it. It has not been determined wnat will be theffate of the woman's building. The original intention of the board was that it should . be a permanent building and should be utilized in some appropriate way. It has been impossible to consider this question, however, during the busy exposition days, and it is therefore a matter for after consid eration. ; ' ' f ' . ."' i The old Liberty Bell, which has been an object of veneration at tbe exposition, will be returned to Philadelphia in state. A commit. tee will leave Philadelphia January 16 and arrive here on the following day. The1 return trip will be begun on tbe 18th. The South Ignored. A careful examination of the composition of tbe committees of tbe House by Speaker Heed shows that not a eiogle first or second or third classl chairmanship is given to the South, and that in all the states that seceded in 1861 only one Utile tenth-rate chairmanship is bestowed. New England got eleven, including such important committees as the Ways and Means, Naval Affairs, Banking and Cur rency. Patents. The South gets one little insig nificant committee, that of Ex penditures on Public Buildings, it going: to Mr. Settle, of North Caro lina. This is not tbe committee on Public Buildinies. as has been supposed. That important com mittee goes, of course, to a New Englander Mr. Milliken, of Maine. The committee, of which a North Carolinian is chairman, merely ex amines and looks after the expendi tures on public buildings, and is abont the most insignificant com mittee in Congress. Mr. Settle de serves better than this. Tbe 18,- 000,000 people of the South de served better representation, if tbey were to be given anything at all. If Speaker Reed had studied to ignore and insult the South, he could not have succeeded better. And yet the Southern men are advised that if they want the rec ognition tbey merit, they ought to go into tbe Republican party That advice was taken in some of tbe Southern States lat year, with the recognition above stated. Mr. Settle's pride and his public exhibition of toadvism to Reed will shut his moutb, but the peo pie of all parties in the South will be indignant at tbe Speakers stud ied policy to ignore Southern men, and to make it impossible for Southern! Republicans to exercise tbe least influence in shaping leg islation. News and Observer. ; . For Orer Fifty Years. lira.

The Lease Suit May Be Dropped, i In the Superior Court clerks office here the case involving the North Carolina Railroad lease lis docketed as follows: "State of North Carolina on relation of John Graham, against tbe North Card Una Railroad Company. Bond inr' 200 to indemnify State against costs, filed December 24th, 1895, with W. B. Fleming, W. L Baxter and M. F. Batton as sureties.

Railroad will be stopped. This news came from three persons, each presumably well informed Ex Judge Spier Whitaker returned from Washington, D.
