L we'll informed correspondent w1itlng frem
St. Joseph, Missouri, says: Meeting, lille
while ago with IN account Of several fires in
Northern Texas, was reminded Of fact which
it may be well fer the public to know. Some
tauoe ago, certain leading men in this State,
known to be connected with the Blue Lodges,
Of kAasas invasion antorie.J, were heard to
ssy, th1t in order defest the Republican party
* would be necessary to get up another John
Brown raid upon the South, and that this wou:d
be cone at the proper time. When it wss sug-
gested that g step Of that character would re-.
suit in the loss Of life to many innocent per-
sopf, answer Was made thas few lives were
nothing in the sca1e, compared with keeping
the federal government in The hands Of the
Democracy and Of tha South" Our inform
ant writes that It is his belitf, that the numer-
GUS 6res which hare recently occurred in Texas
have been mainly the result Of The unparalleled
drouth which has prevailed there. By which the
who1e country has been rendered as indamma-
bic as the contents Of tinder-bo1. He further
believes that the Blue Lodges OF Western Mis-
souri, have a scheme On foot for shan raid
upon some portion Of the South and that the
denouement may be expected inst in time to
have its influence upon the Prudential election.

Extraordinary Psychological Phenomenon

Two Friends Have the Same Dream.
Robert Dale Owen relates in his FooyGHs
this strange story; ,.-
ago was in delicate state Of health, believed
TO be consumptiVe.7 He lived several hum
dred miles from us, and although our family
were intimately acquainted with himself we
knew neither his home nor any Of his family;
our intercourse being chiefly by letters, re-
ceived at uncertain intervals.
One night, when there was no special cause
for my mind reverting to our friend or to his
state of health, i dreamed that had to 90 to

which | entered, and went straight up stairs

l saw s. lying as if about to die.
walked up to him and, not mournfully, but
as if filed with hopeful assurance, took his
hand and said 'tNo, you are not going to
die. Be comforted, you will live Even as
| spoke l seemed to hear an exquisite strain
| of music sounding through the room.
On waking, so vivid were theimpressions
remaining that, unable to shake them off
even the next dsy, l communicated them TO
my mother, and then wrote to s., en-
quiring after his health, but giving him no
clue to the cause Of my anxiety.
His reply informed us that he had been
very ill-indeed, supposed to be at the point
of death,-and that my letter, which for
several days he had been too i'll to read, had
been great happiness 10 him.
1t was three years after this that my
mother and / met s. In London: and
the conversation turning to dreams, I said
"By the way, had singular dream about
you three years ago when you were so i'll :
