nor denied the rumor.
There is a gentleman living near Atlanta
who has the • most intelligent gander on
record. Some time since he heard a ham
mering noise related at intervals in the
neighborhood of Ins corn crib, and uj>on in
vestigation saw nothing thereabout but an
old white garni*#, eagerly devouring a num
ber of grains of corn scattered about on the
ground As soon as he had finished eating
these the gentleman was surprised to see
him catch hold of a portion of the bottom
piank, which was split, and putting forth
all his strength he pulled it back as far as
he could and then let it go. It flew back
with a slam and jarred out a few grains of
corn, which he devoured with a satisfied
cackle and a knowing wink of his small
blue eyes. After this the gentleman watch
ed the old fellow and he repeated this novel
mode of feeding himself every day.
Atlanta Capital-. I was standing on the
corner of Marietta and Broad streets when
my attention was attracted to an unusually
bright little girl, about 3 years old, who
was waiting with her mother for the arrival
of a stree: car. An old gentleman passed
by, and the mother said: “May, there goes
Santa Claus.” The little one gave one long
look at the old fellow, and then springing
forward she caught him by the hand, and
as her sweet little face lit tip witli genuine
pleasure, she exclaimed: “Santa Claus, me
wants a big doll Trismus.” Taking in the
situation, the old man stooped down as he
said: “All right, baby. I'm a coming Christ
mas morning.” “Me" wants a big wax doilv
■wif blue eyes and turly huir.” “You shall
have it, darling. I’m a coming down the
chimney early Christmas morning before
you get np,” and, stooping down, the old
man imprint’d a kiss upon the sweet little
rosebud mouth upraised to receive it, and
then he moved along with the crowd and
thought of his home wherein was no bright
little cherub to await for the coming of
Santa Claus, for alas he was a confirmed
old bachelor.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: On the night
of Dec. 15 a most amusing sight was wit
nessed. A large crowd, as usual, attended
Yellowstone Kit's entertainment, and a
large per cent, of the colored people who
were present were gratified by Dr. Kit. re
ufkrking that be would close early in order
to give those who wished it a chance to at
tend the “Chinese Students,” who were giv
ing a novel entertainment at Webster kali
under the management eg the Ladles’ Aid
Society; that he was going, and ail had the
same privileges. If tne e was any poor
person who did not have the money
to buy themselves a supper he would
give them tho money. Upon this a rush
was made for the hall by the negroes
"en masse.” They were stopped at the en
trance and asked what they wanted. One
big-voiced fellow yelled out, “Yallerstone
Kit told us to come uu here anil he would
give us some supper." It required a con
siderable amount of explanation before the
crowd would disperse, but they finally left,
minus their supper and very much vexed bv
their disappointment. During the “melee”
an old sorrel dame reared ud in front and
pawed the air with her fist for a moment,
and split the air with a keen voice. “I
-ay, you nigger, don't you git my dander
up, I'se a lady, an' won’t stan’ no foolin’.
Dat Yellowstone Kit will jes’ by dem Chi
nees, sup|>er an' all, an' I gue.is we’ll get
some supper.”
James McCoy, charged with murdering
William I), Kellett, United Htates Deputy
Marshal,on l/xikimi, Mountain, Dec. 6, 1885,
was acquitted at Lafayette Saturday.
At the time Kellett was killed be had under
arrest Calvin Young. At the Coroner s in
quest Calvin Young swore that tie did not
know who fired the shot. He wa. sul.se
. tmeulJv arrested by the United Stales Mur
< apt. flolms. charged with being uu
arrest stated that James McCoy had made
him promise on the night of thekilli.g,
which occurred at the creek, some distance
front any habitation, that he would not tell
who killed Kellett, and threatened to kill
j him in twenty-four hours if he did. Mo
i Coy was subsequently arrested on the charge
| of murdering Kellett, and in his trial at La-
I fay otto, in April, 1886, was convicted and
sentenced to be hung. The Supreme Court
grauted anew trial on the grouad
that Judge Branham erred in his
charge concerning the duress and upon
other grounds. The second trial commenced
at La Fayette last Monday morning, and
Saturday the jury' rendered a verdict of not
giiiltv. On the trial Calvin Young, the
principal witness for the State, swore that
he was under duress by reason of the threats
of McCoy. Tlie defense put up an alibi.
The witnesses testified that atthe exact time
the said murder occurred, McCoy was at his
home four and a half miles distant. These
two witnesses wore sustained by tho testi
mony of three others. The defendant's
counsel argued that it was more probable
that Calvin Young, his father and young
brothers committed the murder, and en
deavored to shield themselves by charging
the crime upon McCoy. Calvin Young tes
tified that the killing was done by a single
rifle shot, and oihere said that, Kellet’s hat,
was found riddled with buckshot.
In pol ce court at Atlanta Saturday the
case of Hattie Washington was taken up.
She is a very black and ordinary looking
woman about thirty years of age, but is
possessed of a depraved character and has
been doing a very flourishing blackmailing
business for the last two or three years.
Siie has played her game in a very shrewd
manner and always selected as her victim
young business men who were known for
their liberality and high character, but
who at tiroes indulged in little extrava
gancies. She would meet them on the
streets and attempt her blackmailing
schemes and follow them about until she
received hush money At other times she
would enter their stores while there were a
nuniher of customers present, would cal!
them off to one side and prefer some
charge against them and then, if they
denied it, she would threaten to ex
pose them unless she received her
price, which was generally a very
guild one. She has been altera well known
and prominent young business man on Ma
rietta street for about a year,and has several
times subjected him to the indignity of be
ing dragged before a justice court, as lie
positively refused to accede to her demands
for money. In every case he came out
clear, and for several weeks she has not mo
lasted him. Thursday night she met him
with several companions nud renewed her
blackmailing charges and her demands for
money, which he Ignored. She then fol
lowed after him, abusing him. and finally
commenced throwing rocks a him, several
of which struck him. Meeting a policeman
ho requested her arrest, ana she was con
ducted to police headquarters and locked
up, the chargo of disorderly conduct pre
ferred against her. After hearing the evi
dence, Mr. Collier fined her $25 and costs,
and sentenced her to thirty days in the
stockade, and required her to give a bond
of S3OO at the expiration of her time to an
swer before the City Court to the charge of
assault and battery.

At Trenton, a week ago, at an inquest
held over the body of Jacob Burt, a colored
man who was found dead, the evidence
pointed very strongly to four parties—
Louisa, his second wife, Clminoy, his only
daughter, and two negro men* Ephraim
May and Ed Dean. All the parties fled the
county, the men taking the wife and
daughter with them. The evidence clearly
shows the murder to have been a most
brutal one. Burt’s skull was smashed to
pieces by the back of an ax, and the body
was dragged from tho house and taken
ahout fifteen .yards from his own door and a
little dirt thrown over him. His feet, were
left uncovered and his face turned down.
He was evidently buried liefore life was ex
tinct, The deceased was a quiet, peaceful
mute, and a trusted laborer on Fierce Day’s
plantation. The! jury rendered a verdict
according to t he above facts.

HOMES OF THE SUCH
i Some New York Houses and Their Gor
geous Halls.
[Coftyrifjhted IftSl. ]
New York, Dec. IT.—The entrance Dali
is the biggest, the most imposing, the cost
liest and by long odds the handsomest apart
ment in a modern New York house of the
first rank.
New Yorkers of wealth and taste have
entirely abandoned the straight hall of the
narrow block house, w here the stairs go
straight up and the narrow passage to back
parlor anu basement stairs goes straight
back. Instead they have marie the hull the
central feature of the establishment to
which, if necessary, everything else is
subordinated. The new type of hail is
elaborate in its architectural features,
richly antique in its furnishings, and, if the
mistress of the establishment has any taste
whatever for large decorative effects, it is
upon the hall that she lavishes tli m. the
hall, indeed, is so much of a hobby that
people build new houses in order to have
halls. „ ,
There is no woman in New York who has
had a better chance to demonstrate what
she can do with a hall than Mrs. TV hitelaw
Reid. The house that Henry Villard built
before his failure and over which she now
presides lias a hall big enough almost to
build again inside of. It runs north and
south through the establishment, is not less
than twenty feet high and is entirely of
marble—marble walls, marble mosaic
ceilings, marble tesselatod floor, baronial in
its size and its cold magnificence.
Mrs. Reid, who is I). O. Mills’ daughter,
and who has her own ideas of houses and
house furniture, has shown admirable judg
ment in her hall plenishing. She lias pre
served the large spirit of the archil, cture,
and yet has made the big place as warm
looking and as homelike as is possible in
dealing with a palace-home on such a scale.
The immense open fireplace, almost as big
as the side of un 01 dinary room, is of
wrought iron, with wrought iron
grate, fireback and openwork from
t robbing behind and above, going
back in style to the days before there were
mantels. There is always a big tiro glowing
red against the blackness, and a heavy
carved oaken settle drawn up over against
it and carrying out the same idea of the
rallying point of tbe family retainers.
Mrs. Reid takes to fur where other women
run to Turkish rugs, and there are bears’
pelts, black and brown and white, long
haired and rough, lying about on the floor
and giving the appropriate suggestion of
comfort and covering. Big high doorways
open into big high drawing rooms; and
these are guarded by tapestried hangings,
but the general effect is not frittered away
by any mere prettiness or pettiness of deco
ration.
I suppose that Mrs. William C. Whitney s
beautiful home, on the corner of Fifty
seventh street, has as pretty a hall as any in
New’ York, though the house was built
several years ago when departures from the
older conventionalities in building were far
less common than now, and though its cost
was much less than that of the V illard man
sion.
The hall which Mrs. TV hitney has furnished
and into which was put a good share of tbe
£300,000 expended on the general renovation
of the house last year, is rather broad than
deep. It has an irregular outline and at the
back rises by easy gra :ations a broad stair
case with several landings, of beautiful
carved wood finish, the finest thing of its
sort in the city, I believe. Mrs. Whitney’s
hobby is tapestry and next it the subdued
blendings of Oriental carpets. She has
tapestry hangings on the wall below the
staircase, behind it, beside it and in the
doorways leading to the drawing room.
There are stame.l glass effects in the ball, a
costly clock,Jmany pictures, and it is a cozy,
homelike place, in spite of its size and rich
ness of furnishings.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, on the opposite
corner, has treated her hall in somewhat
more conventional manner. It is bigger than
the Whitney hall, but not so sumptuously
furnished as that of the W. K. Vanderbilt
house further dowm tbe avenue, which has
been described in an English art journal as
the finest in America. There is a vase of
Russian malachite set in gold in the Vander
bilt hall which is worth two or three good
sized fortunes. In size, however, any
thing in the Vanderbilt houses is dwarfed
by the hall of the big new Tiffany house,
whose entrance is an enormous arch of huge
stones guarded by a heavy iron gate. It looks
as if it ought to have a moat and an iron
drawbridge to make the thing complete,
and perhaps it would if the building laws
permitted. Into that yawning archway
your carriage disappears. The front steps
are inside, so to speak, and the hall, when
you have mounted them, is a vast and
cavernous place with heavy carvings and
elaborate metal work. It dwarfs all
attempts to make it look livable, and is ex
tremely magnificent but not in the least
like a home.
Mrs. J. Coleman Drayton has tbe reputa
tion of wearing the best gowns in the city.
She has devoted herself to her hall with
equal zeal. It is one of the most successful
halls in New York. The Drayton house is a
modernized block house, one of the most
noticeable of the newer block houses on the
avenue. It is not above thirty or thirty-five
feet wide, but the hall, without robbing the
drawing rooms of their just proportions, is
a pretty apartment, prettily furnished, with
the same regard to a harmony of materials
and colors which has established Mrs. Dray
ton’s reputation for good taste.
So much attention is being paid to hall
architecture, and New York women have
come to lay so much stress on hall decora
tion that the mistresses of mansions with
the old fashioned straight halls are trying
to give them more of a roomy appearance,
or, at least, to diguise the narrow passage
and the nou-sesthetiq front staircase by rich
valances hung across the foot of the stair
way or by portieres. This is a simple device
and a pretty one. Mrs. Cyrus VV. Field has
used it to advantage in the big Field house,
in Gramerey park. Another easily made
reformation”is to throw a broad landing into
the stair near the bottom and approach it
by one or two steps from the side.
The house of Mrs. Marshall O. Roberts,
the fascinating fS,OOU,OOO widow, and the
Belmont house, which stand on adjacent
corners of Fifth avenue, disdain such devices.
Those, with tbe city house which Mrs.
George Gould enjoys more than Mrs. Jay
Gould ever did, are relics of the days before
land was divided into such narrow lots.
Their halls are wide, spacious, with broad,
straight stairways and with modem oak
furnishing, but strictly of the old fashioned
order, without “features,” and not intended
tor family gathering places.
Some of the newer halls are chimney
corners in the most homelike sense of the
word. If the house is narrow there is a small
reception room in front, with a narrow
entrance hall running bock to the staircase
hall, which occupies the full width of the
house. This hull, in one pretty example of
which lam thinking, is furnished as the
family sitting-room. It has an open tire,
with carved over mantel on one side facing
the stairway, which runs up on the other.
It lias an upright clock. Turkish carpeting,
lounging chairs and book-strewn centre
table, etagere of bric-a-brac, paintings and
etchings, every evidence of constant daily
o vupation. The more formal parlor suite is
behind it, but tho hall is the most attractive
spot in the house.
It is not an unknown thing to give up
the whole first floor, as in the Kneoland
house near the avenue, to the hall, putting
the parlor on the second floor. Whether tho
hall be big or little, its furnishing is a thing
to which its mistress is giving much atten
tion nowadays. To be quite perfect it should
be done up in old oak and I ave "settles’'
standing about in room of chairs. ltsh<>u!d
haye a big oak table, a sinuller one to hold
t ie silver salver on which a guest’s card is
taken to the lady of the house and its floor
should tie oak polished till It shines. The
hall is of quite ns much consequence as the
drawing-rooms.
