GHosTIY.-The Oxford (Miss.) Intelli-
gencer states on "reliable authority" that
on the 30th day of October last j. W. Pas
chal, of PontOtoc county, dreamed that he
beheld his dead sister enter the room as she
frequently did in her lifetime. The appar-
ition approached and shook hands with him
Mr.. Paschal remarking that her hands we're
very cold. ayes, they are cold," was the
reply, "and yours will be soon brother, in a
month will return and take you with me. !"
Mr.. Pascal related his dream, without SEEM
ing to be apprehending anything further.
But, strange to say, he sickened, and on
Friday. November 30th, he died. The neigh
bors who were present at the time Of the
dissolution, affirm that there was, at the
moment, whirlwind upon the top Of the
house, which threatened to tear the roof off
but was visible at no other place.

VERY SENSIBLE TALK.-Students, profess
sional men, literaturers, and all who work
with their brains, should read the following
practical observations by Henry Ward
Beecher:
have been asked, sometimes, how
could perform so large an amount OF work
with apparently so little diminutOn OF
strength. | attribute my power OF endur-
ance to long formed habit Of observing,
every day of my life the simple laws OF
health-and none more than the laws OF
eating. 1t ceases any longer to be mat
ter of sell-denial. II is almost an Instinct.
IF have a severe tax on my brain in the
morning, cannot eat heartily at breakfast.
If the whole day is to be one of exertion, 1
eat very little till the exertion is over. l
know that two forces cannot be cOncentrat-
ed in activity at the same time in the body.
know that when the stomach works the
brain must rest, and that when the brain
works the stomach must rest. If am go
ing to be moved about out OF doors good
deal, can give fuller swing TO my appe-
tite, which is never exceedingly bad But
if | am engaged actively and necessarily
in mental labor. cannot eat much And
have made eating with regularity, and
with q reference to what have to do, q
habit so long that it ceases any longer to
be subject of thought. 1t almost takes
care Of itself. attribute much Of my abil-
lty to endcre work to good habits of eating
constant attention to the laws Of sleep,
physical exercise and general checrfulness
There is one thing more to be said in this
connection. 1t is not matter Of Epicu'
reanism that a man should be dainty con-
cerning bis food. On the contrary, hold
that a civilized man ought to be civilized
in bis cookery. l suppose ono of the infal-
lible signs of the millennium will be a better
regulated kitchen-a kitchen that sends out
food that will not make Christian men sick.

Without any desire to find fault or
crv over "spiIled milk" We cannot
help but think that the immense quaint
~ Of arms which were destroyed at
Harper's Ferry might'as well have been
secured by::Goverument and been IN the
hands OF the proper authorities to-day,
A not. When we consider the short
distance from Washington to the Arse
nal and the facilities which were At the
control of Government for removing
them. we cannot but feel vexed tn at
those arms for which the Federal au
thorities stand 50 much in need, were
not looked after. Such an apparent
want Of vigilance on the part OF our
own people is astonishing. The Gov
eminent needs all the arms it can mus
ter. and there were enough at that ar :
senal to equip large army. They arc
not in the hands Of our enemies. That
is one consolation but the thought that
We have been obliged to lose them
through procrastination don't afford US
any pleasure, t. say the least. We
trust it will prove warning to Govern
ment to look out for other points.

C,vil war in u. l.outs.

j. Before Me issuing Of our next, il
swould betsurpsiss Is in the least to hear
Of abloody coslRct in the city Of s..
Louis. Boernstein, the manager Of the
German Theatre, has declared his inten-
tons to run his theatre on Sunday even
ings, against the desire of the law-abid-
ing portion OF that community. The
Theatre wasprevented from being opened
on Sunday last, and Boernstein made a
speech, from which the following Is AL
extract:
Gentlemen, have deemed it my duty,
10 consideration OF the confidence which
my fellow citizens have, for number Of
years reposed in me, to take bold stand
against this iDroad on our rights, and In
.ist that our rights shall remain unvio-
lated. have resolved to exercise the
RIGHTS which the Constitution has grant
ed to me until brute force shall compel
me to desst. / shall, therefore, IN spite
of any losses which may incur, keep
the Theatre open until at least the end
Of this month. 1t Is my mination
to prove whether these people who are
intent on the work Of suppression, will
once more dare to interfere with the
legitimate business of Tree citizens. II
they do, warrant that they will come
off next best. Great applause.
Mr. Boernsteln was frequently ap-
plauded by his German friends, and the
spirit manifested by them was that Of a
determination to assist him in opposing
the laws.
The Republican comments as follows
on the managers speech:
To the German element, as the phrase
is, we have one word to say. At this
time, when all classes are somewhat ex-
cited, it is best--it is very desirable
that no new elements of strife should be
introduced into the city. Certain laws
exist in regard to the observance OF the
Sabbath, and it is proposed to enforce
them. These laws are not very palat
able to a part Of the community, and
they are asked to volunteer to prevent
the enforcement OF them, by force, if
necessary. Mr.. Boernstein expects the
German element TO take part in this riot,
and some may be induced to 60 into it ;
but We hope the number will be very
few. They have as much at stake as any
one else in preserving the quiet Of the
city. They haze property and their
families here, and they expect to live
here, and it will be a grave mistake in
them, merely to accommodate an adven-
turer like manager Eoernstein, to put
themselves in opposition to the laws.
If there is really anything wrong in
these police regulations-anything ille-
gal-there are many ways of bringing
the questions before the Courts but
every prudent, orderloving citizen will
set aside the appeals OF mere delna-
gogues and obey the laws until they are
appealed or annulled.

The next startling news from the
South will be the intelligence Of an at
tack upon Fort Pckens The Admin
istratlon is satisfied that the works have
been reinforced. Lieutenant Slemmer
has been superseded. There is lack
.. con6len in his loyalty Wdshlny-
ton Dispatch.
The above extract from the w ashng-
ton dispatches is rather important. The
fears that Plckens viii soon be the scene
Of blood, we believe to be we'll founded.
The cheaply won victory at sumter gave
the Southern war feeling such an i'm
mense influence that it is folly to sup
pose that Pickens will remain unscathed
Tie news from that quarter i most pro-
vok,ngly meagre, the lines Of telegraph
being under the control Of the Seces
.ionists, bnt We predict here that when
Plckens is attacked in earnest, it will
not be ten DAYS before it is in the hands
OF the besieging party. Ii will be 10
such boys play as al oumter-the YES
SOS of war will not remain idle, but the
result seems almost certain.
The same dispatch declares that Lieut..
Semmcr, in command of the tort, has
been superseded His loyalty is held
in question. This is the first intimation
of the KIND we have ever seen, but the
dis atch is directly from the seat of gov
erament. And what will come next |!
These are strange tilLes, surely. A few
DAYS will furnish us something about
