Thomas D'Arey Niece.

The telegraph two or three days ago
brought us the news of the assassination
of Thomas Darcy Niece, a prominent
Canadian politician, and a member Of
the present Canadian Cabinet, as Minis
ter of Agriculture, we believe. In the
days Of lS4S, we remember him as q

fall of the above year, and settled, for q
time, in Boston, where be was engaged as

A PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY
photograph of a martyr Of the sixteenth century
has be en- lately exhibited in London and Paris.
of course that photograph. was not taken from
The living person, but came about in this wise: 1t
seems that, in the year 1912, the Spanish Bsne-
dictine Monk Hadeo published an account of the
maTtyrdom of Moorish Christian, named Geroni-
mo. be was taken prisoner by the Algerines ia
1869, and refusing to embrace Mahomedanism at
the command of his captors, was buried alive 10
the mud wall of fort then being erected in
Algiers. This fort was demolished not long ago
by the French and guided by the description of
Geronimo's inhumation given by Father Hadeo
more than two hundred and fifty years ago, an
antiquarian managed TO pick out of the ruins the
very block of clay in which the body was i'm
bedded. On opening the block, the shriveled re-
mains of the victim were disclosed, together with
a perfect representation of his figure and features
as they were impressed upon the yielding clay in
his dying moments, three centuries before. Even
the folds of the btTnous and turban had been du-
plicated to the mnutest wrinkle. From this mould
hardened by the suns of nearly three hundred
years, a cast of the head and bust was executed,
and from the cast a number of photographs were
taken.

SAD horses and men will "as silently steal away

the Truckee widens out little by little as wa de-
scend the timber grows less abundant, the sa e
brush begins 10 make its appearance, and occa-
sioDally we see small patches Of cultivated lani.
The grain on the western slope of Sierra is already
ripe and mostly harvested; here it's but a few
inches above the ground.
On one side, we faw summer; ripe and warm,
and the harvest in all its rich abundance on the
summit, winters SHOWS and ice; and on this side
the first faint dawn of early spring. Passing
through two more tunnels, and crossing aud re-
crossing the " exnltDg and Astounding river, " as
il leaps full of fierce, fresh mountain life and en-
eTgy down toward the desert plains, we emerge at
last into the open, treeless country OF Nevada,

Medical sIgas of Dreams.

DR.. Hammond's Quarterly Journal OF Psychic
logical Medicine and Medical Jurisprudence con-
tsins a long communication on Dreaming" from
which we extract the following:
Lively dreams in general a sign OF the eX-
citement Of nervous action. Soft dreams sign
of slight irritation of the BRAIN often in nervous
feveTs, announcing the approach Of favorable
crisis. Frightful dreams are a sign of determ
nation of blood to the head. Dreams about fire
are, in woman, signs Of impending hemOrrhage
Dreams about blood and red objects are signs Of
infammatory conditions. Dreams about rain and
water are often signs Of diseased mucous men,
bIane and drOpsy. Dreams of distorted forms are
frequently sign of abdominal distinctions and
disorders of the liver. Dreams in which the pa
tent sees any part of the body especially suffer
ing indicate diseases in that part
dreams about death often precede apoplexy,
which ia connected with determination Of blood to
the head.
1.-THE nightmare incubus epithsltes) with great
sensitiveness, is sign of determination of blood
to the chest. TO these says Baron Won Fsech-
tersleben, we NAV add that dreams Of dogs, after
the bite of mad dog, often precede the appear
ance Of bydrophobis, but may be only the c0nse-
quences of excited Imagination"
Or. Forbes Winslow quotes several cases in
which dreams said TO have been prognostics
Armand de Villeneuve dreamed one night that
black cat bit him on the arm. The next day an
anthrax appeared on the pert bitten. A patient
of Galen's dreamed that one of his limbs was
changed to stone. Some days after, his leg was
paralyzed. Roger d'Oxteyn, knight of the com
psny of Douglas, went to sleep IN good health |;
toward the middle of the night he saw 10 his
cream man infected with the plague, quite naked
who attacked him with fury, threw him on the
ground after a desperate struggle, and, holding
him between his open thighs, vomited the plague
into bis mouth. Three days after, he was seized
that dreams in which one sees black spectres are
a bad omen.D

PHILANTHROPY AND THE FOURrH.-A dinner got
ten up in fine style was provided by George w.
Chllds, Esq, proprietor of the Philadelphia
ledger, on thu Fourth of July, in the press room,
for the neWsbOys. of whom there we're l5O pre-
sent, who seemed greatly 10 enjoy the good things
that had been so generously provided by the above
named gentleman.
The following sentiments for the boys to remem-
Der were printed upon cards, copy OF which
was placed upon each plate;
Liberty is the right TO do whatever you wish
Without interfering with the rights of others.
Save your money, and you will find II one OF
the most useful friends.
Never give trouble 10 your mother or father.
Take care of your pennies, and they will grow
to be dollars.
incompetence is the cause Of n'arly all the
trouble in this world; beware Of strong drink.
The poorest boy, if he be industrious, honest
and saving. may reach the highest honor in the
land.
Never be cruel to a dumb animal; remember
that il has no power TO tell how it suffers.
Honesty is always the best policy.
At the conclusion Of the dinner each boy was
presented with a box of confectionery TO take
b. me, and each one was provided with palm
leaf hat.
sigDor Biiz was present, and entertained the
youthful company with q number of amusing
tricks. after which the boys separated, feeling
much grstifed with all that had been done fol-
them.

The emperor and empress are very early risers.
The latter is out in the grounds soon after sunrise
she meets the emperor under particular arOor
by their son. who has by that time got through
his morning lessons. Then they proceed for break
FAST not to the dining room, but to the empress's
favorite room, called I" Chinese bOudOir."
This is a perfect museum of Chinese importa-
tons from tie Celestial empire, principally from
the famed Summer Palace" which your readers
may remember was pilaged by the French. The
only three things that are European IN this eX
quiste room are TIE empress's portrait, her son 3
organ with q handle Ia palatal hurdy -gurdy), aud
a very plain piano. All the rest is Asiatlc, eX'
otto, fantastcal, absurd, iganiic. There are man
deTns ripping up or down their stOmachs, Ian
terms, nsgots, canoes, hardware, china, pagodas,
big stone dogs grinning at each other. There are
hats, mats, massive gold tnrrets, and polished
shining copper in every shape. A remarkable
statue there 100 is Cardiers negress, of bronze,
gold, MAJ bic and onyx.
After breakfast eLsues little animated CONVEX
sstion and social pleasantness, when the family
disperse. The emperor reads the papers and
gives audiences, the empress generally drives and
reads, while the prince returns to his play and
studies.
Al hall. past seven the dinner bell calls every
one to the gallery Of Diana, opening on the
OreDgeTy.

which was occupied by Napoleon |. His bed is

Louis XVIII and Napoleon |.
The empress's bedroom was Marie Antoinette's ),
and is hung with the same curtains which were
torn down during the revolution by the pOpulace
because they were valuable present from the
town Of Lyons TO the unfortunate queen of France
A revolutionary sans clilOte pegged them ny

room of the six sovereigns, thus named Marie de
Medicis, Therese Marie Autoinette, Marie Louise

The emperor's study is furnished with things
| which belonged to Napoleon |. The small table
| on which he writes is the same on which the
great man signed his abdication. II is much worn

The empress's bathroom is coated with long
sheets of painted pier glass in the style Of LOui;

SUMNER MODES.
IRON The New York commsreIsl Ad,ertl.,

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
Pale gray cheviot suits Of thinnest fabric, for
gentlemen, are the usual choice for costumes for
the month. The cheviOts for mourning suits are
pIeferred to linen on one account, because the
narrow fashion Of trousers is not adapted to the
latter material. The dress entirely OF this pale,
thin gray, with rough straw sailor hat, or drab
high crowned beaver, the whole set OF with a
bright plain crimson necktie, and small red
flower on the lapel, has an air Of style more i'm
pressive than any amount of gorgeous dressing
In the way Of mauve shaded cassimsres, or dahia-
hued meltons. For cooler suits, the loose linen
trousers and vest, with fr0ck coat OF light blue
English cloth, striped dotted necktie Of gren-
adine or gngham, and a white felt SLOUGH hat, or
sailor straw, are an advantageous selection. For
full dress, pearl gray vest and trousers. with rock
coat of blue cloth. is a costume which supplants
the solemn elegance Of black coat and white vest,
except with gentlemen of the old school and west
erp senators. Modern taste shirks a dress coat
and full dress manners as often as possible.
Gentlemen have adopted the practice OF carry
ing sun.umbrellss, q sensible idea for those who
