Samuel Colt, the founder of the magnificent
arms factory of Hartford, Connecticut London,
ETC., and known all over the world, happened to
be visiting the somewhat famous museum at
Salem, Mass, vast omnium gdtherum of all
the relics of Puritansm Including an old English
coin found in Plymouth Rock, the Blarneystone
of New England where among other curios-
ties he was shown large lot of crooked pins,
dingy and green with age and verdigris which
had been vonited up by the poor victims of per.
secution, when the devil had been cast out of
them by the good andholy exorcists of that period
Col. Colt examined the pins with great interest
and close scruteny. At length he said to the at
tendant:
as it certain that these pins were really
thrown up by those poor women devils in that
remote time!'
You'll find the date in the catalogue you have
in your hand" was the only reply.
"Yes see" responded the Colonel, "but I've
been looking into these pins little, and find
that the long part and the head of the pin are all
in one piece. That makes it bad, you see, be.
cause that kind OF pin was invented about o
century and half after the witches of New Eng
land were executed for being possessed with the
devil! Take the idea sir? These pins ought to
have been old English pins the heads and bod
les separate; and l don't know how you are go.
ing TO get them now, our pins have run that kind
out of market years and years ago"
The exhibitor wilted, and those ''crooked pins
have vanished from the museum.

Medical Signs Of Dreams.

"Lively dreams are, III general, a sign Of the
excitement of nervous action. Soft dreams are
sign of slight Invitation of tho BRAIN often in
nervous fevers, announcing the approach of ia.
vorable crisis. Frightful dreams are sign of
determination of blood to the head, Dreams
about fire are, in women, signs of an impending
hemorrhage Dreams about blood and red Oh.
lects are signs of infammatory conditions
Dreams about rain and water are often signs of
diseased mucus membranes and dopsy. Dreams
uf distorted forms are frequently sign of alb
dominal Instructions and disorders of the liver
Dreams in which the patient sees any part of
the body especially suffering indicate disease in
that part. Dreams about death often precede
apopleNy, which Is connected with determination
of blood to the head. The nightmare incubus
ephilatcs,) with great senstiyencss, is u sign OF
determination of blood 80 the chest" ITO those. -
say, Baron Won feuchterslcben, ''we may add
that dreams Of dogs, after the bite of Il mad dor,
often prccedc the appearance of hydrophobia.
but may be only the consequences of excited i'm
aginaton." DIR. Forbes Winslow quotes several
cases i'll which dreams are said to have been prog
nostics: armand de Villeneuve dreamed one
night that a black cat bit him on the side. The
next day an anthrax appeared on the part Bit
ten a patient of Galen's dreamed that one of
his limbs was changed to stone. Some days af.
ter his leg was paralyzed. Roger d'OXteyn,
knight of the Company of Douglas, went to sleep
in good health; toward the middle of the night
he saw in his dream man infected with the
plague, quite naked, who attacked him with fury,
threw him on the ground after desperate strug-
gle, and, holding him between his open thighs,
vomited the plague into his mouth Three DAYS
after he was seized with the plague and died.
Hippocrates remarks that dreams in which one
sees black spectres are bad omens"

The following story is told by "Mark Twain

The following story is told by "Mark Twain"
of a gallant naval officer:
Twenty or thirty years ago when missionary
enterprise was in its infancy among the islands
of the South Seas. Captain Summers anchored
his sloop-of-war off one of the Marquesas, think
it was. The next morning he saw an American
flag floating from the beach, Union down. This
excited him fearfully, of course, and he sent off
boat at once to inquire into the matter. Pres.
emily the boat returned, and brought grave
locking missionary. The captains anxiety ran
high. He said:
"What's the trouble out there ?" quick"
"Well, am grieved to say sir" said the mis-
sionarya "that the natives have been interrupting
our sacerdotal exercise"
"No blast their ycller hides, I'll-what--
what was it you said they'd been doings"
at pains mo, sir to say that they have been
interruptng our sacerdotal exercises"
"lnterrupting your--your-h-l! Man them
starboard guns! Stand by, now, to give EN- tho
whole battery"
The astounded clergyman FASTENED to protest
against such rigorous measures, and finally he
| succeeded in making the old tar understand that
the natives had only been breaking up prayer
meeting
ooh, devil take it, man is that all ? thought
you meant that they had stopped your grog"

A Sensible Negro.

The Macon GA Telegraph publishes an inte-
resting letter from negro named Wesley RIB,
who was recently nominated for Congress in the
Macon district, and now respectfully declines
the honor on the ground that
"whcn vice prevails and mpious men bear sway,
The part of horor is private station"
The letter is well written and discloses the Pc
cular oversight of Congress in framing the Re-
construction act, so as to allow negroes to VOTE
or accept Office, whatever their antecedents or
conduct during the war. Wesley, it seems, was
an incorrigible "rebel so-called," and fought
side by side with his master in the Confederate
cause, until the latter fell at Chicamauga: and,
after that, he followed the fortunes of the Soon
quered Banner" until he witnessed its spotless
folds trailed in defeat" He denounces the white
Radicals ut the South as set Of "nest-defling
hisdSG as full! OF blatant hypocrisy as they are of
all manner OF concealed iniquity and calls on
the intelligent and sensible portion Of his own
race to stand aloof from the "Loyal Leagues"

The fact is every day disclosing ITSELF that
the more intelligent and sensible portion Of the
negroes at the South, are taking sides with their
late masters, and are deeply in sympathy with
them, in the outrages perpetrated by Congress
and the degrading and Constitution-defying
body. Radicalism, an epidemic, has had its
run at the North, and it will eventually diffuse
itself into very harmless disease" even among
