Discoveries i'm Dreams.

In an article on accidental invention
in Macmillan's Magazine, we find the
following:
A British plumber, named Watts, re-
tired to bed one night as usual, and had
a most extraordinary dream. He is, so
his fancy paints to himself, crawling up
on church roof, about to solder up
defect in it, when, by one of those unac.
countable incidents which we take very
quietly when they come to us in dreams,
down goes the ladle of boiling metal into
= pool in the street below. "Try again,
says old honesty; and he descends to get
his ladle and his lead. The former is
there, sure enough, but the latter is rep
resented by a myriad of tiny perfect
spheres. With real lead material, and
his eyes wide open, he goes through,
next morning, the exact process he has
noticed in his dream, and inaugurates
the manufacture Of shot. The story
goes on to tell that the patent he had for
bis invention he sold for SIC, 200, and
with that sum he built, for the embel.
ishment of his native city, a crescent of
houses, which the citizens were impolite
enough to christen "Watt's Folly"

orable, what "high-toned," what an
amiable gentleman Mr.. Landry was, and
how highly he was respected by all who
knew him. They said that he had had
his losses; the war had half ruined him;
his friends had observed that he had
been irritable of late, poor man; and, nc
doubt, he had struck his daughter hard
er than he intended. His wife and his
other children came to plead for him. A
legal gentleman appeared also, to do wha,
was possible in the way of argument.
Gen Butler decided the case thus:
Landry should give his daughter her

A writer 10 the Home Journal relates
the following remarkable case taken from
the French Encyclopedia:
"Perhaps the most interesting case on
record, is that Of young clergyman, the
narrative Of which, is from the immediate
communication of the Archbishop of Bor.
deaux. The young eccIcsiastic, when
the prelate was at the same college, used
to rise every night and write out either
sermons or pieces Of music. To study
his condition, the bishop betook himself
several nights, consecutiyely, to the
chamber Of the young man, where he
made the following observations, This
young clergyman used to rise, take pa
per, and begin to write. Before writing
music, he would take stick and rule
the lines. He wrote the notes with the
corresponding words, both with the ut
most accuracy; or when, by chance, he
had written the words too wide, he alter
ed hem. After completing sermon,
he would read it aloud from beginning
to end. If any passage displeased him,
he erased it, and wrote the amended pas.
sage correctly over the other. On one
occasion, in order to ascertain whether
he used his eyes, the bishop iuterposed
a sheet Of patsebosrd between his face
and the writing The sleeper took not
the least notice but went on writing as
before. The limitations of his percep.
tions to what he was thinking about was
very curious. A piece Of ainseed cake,
that he had sought for, he ate approx
ingly; but when on another occasion e
piece Of the same cake was put into his
mouth, he spat it out. 1t is to be OBJ
served, that he always knew when his
pen had ink in it; and if they adroitly
changed his paper when he was writing,
he knew it; if the sheet substituted was
of different size from the former, and
in that case he appeared embarrassed
But if the fresh sheet Of paper which
was substituted for that written on was
exactly Of the same size with it, he ap-
peared not to be aware of the change
and he would continue to read off his
composition from the blank sheet Of pa
per as fuently as when the manuscript
lay before him; nay more, he would con.
tinuc his corrections, and introduce an
amended passage, writing it upon the
precise place in the blank sheet cores
ponding with that which it would have
occupied on the already written page
Such are the feats Of Som1ambulsm
The ecclesiastic, indeed, seems at FIRST to
have seen through a sheet of pasteboard;
but the concluding fact in his case shows
that he really used his perception only
to identify the size and place of the sheet
Of paper. His writing upon it was the
mechanical transcript of an act of mental
penmanship. Th corrections fell into
the right places upon the paper, owing
to the fidelity with which he retained
the mental picture, his attention being
exclusively concentrated on that one
operation.

Captain Poulsin, of the French El

Captain Poulsin, of the French En-
gineers, in recent treatise on the colony
of Senegal, proposes, as its soil and cli-
mate are favorable for the cultivation of
cotton, that "the fugitives and exiles
from the Southern States, being born in
q warm climate and best able to bear that
of Africa" shall be invited to settle
there, and receive allotments of land to
induce their emigration. This looks
very much as if some Frenchmen, if not
the Emperor, believe the rebellion is
nearly ended, and that good many reb-
els will have to seek some country where
they can again employ Africans in rails
ing cotton.

A BRAVE DEED. Among the heroic
deeds of the war may be recorded that
of Captain Jesse Code, of the 18th In
diana at the fight at Pennington. A
rebel battery of six pieces was placed at
point in the road which was protected by
precipitous hills and thick growth Of
underwood Captain Code, with pick.
ed band of thirty sharpshooters, started
to pick off the gunners. Entering the
bushes, and crawling silently over hills
and through gorges, the party arrived

the astonished rebels, who broke and fed,
leaving four Of their guns behind them,
and the other two would also have been
captured had not orders been given not
to pursue.

marriage. They were on "bridle tour"
to his cousins, down on the shore of
Connecticut, and spent the night, which
was one of the coolest of the season, and
being put in cold spare room, they suf-
fered severely. After while his wife
asked him to get up and see if he could
not find something more to put upon the

find nothing but his and his wife's cloth

to their studies at this school. Their
heroism on that occasion is still the theme
of admiration in our Union social circles.
These young girls went out of the house
while the battles were raging, ,and brought
the wounded in, dressed the wounded
and nursed the sufferers. When the
rebels had possession of the house they
denounced them as traitors to their coun.

as to ours. For wonder they won the
respect of the outlaws. When rendered
rebel protection they refused it. "We

one Of these brave girls, "but We despise

BATON ROUGE, La, Nov II.
We are now close upon the season for
President making. We have not, as a
general thing, much politics in the army,
but it is natural that so important mat.
ter should attract some attention, even
among men Of sword and knapsack, who
have SO long and so pcrsistently held
themselves aloof from the petty political
squabbles which serve to amuse and ex-
cite the home folks. 1t matters little to

Gently took place in your State, between
ponderous John Brough and certain de-

the expression of some anxiety in regard

next. There will be no lack of aspirants.

cumbent, Abraham Lincoln. A variety
of reasons are urged why he should be
retained. First, it is alleged, and with
some show Of reason, that it would be
unjust to him, and injurious to the intc-
rests o: the nation, to retire him with SO
large an unfinished contract on his hands
He has paid dear enough, heaven knows,
for his tuition, and new man would
have the same road to travel. Uncle
Abraham has the machine well in hand
now, and knows the weak points as we'll
as the strong ones.
Secondly, he has done his work faith
fully and we'll. Where one would have
done it better, a hundred would have done
it worse.
Then, again, it would be an excellent
joke on the Presidential gamblers.
This sentiment in favor of the rail
splitter in the army is far removed from
party feeling. There is no party in the
army. Men who were Republicans a:
home, or Democrats, or Know Nothings,
alike participate in it.
