a REMARKABLE DREAM.

Last winter, in one of the London pa
pers, an article appeared suggesting the
hypothesis which might account for some
Of the unexplained phenomena of dreams.
The writer recognised as an undoubted
fact the frequent communication between
the minds Of persons far separated from
each other so that Simultaneous impress
sions were made on those minds, not only
during in sleep but also waking hours.
He supposed, then, that there might be a
power in nature whereby brain, intensely
excited, might send forth impulses-tcaUes,
PerIaps-such as should, in an instant,
reach another brain, and convey thoughts
and images from the first to the second.
He suggested that, by process 10 which
the movements of electricity and magnet
ism would afford at least distant analogies,
minds in sympathy with each other might
thus share a common experience. He
would in this way explain the many well
attested instances in which relatives have
been impressed with the fact of the death
of some object of love, dying, it may be,
thousands of miles away SO at the very
moment of disease, they have felt and
said that death had taken place
Reading this article, was reminded of
a narrative that | had heard from an init
mate friend of dream which he had had
three years previously, and which two of
his friends had also dreamed at the same
hour. l therefore asked him to give me,
in writing, the substance Of what he had
told me, and l am sure that none can read
1t without feeling that it was, indeed, re-
markable dream.
need only add that my friend is a gen~
tleman and scholar, of high culture and
of most excellent reputation, and in whose
veracity / place the most implicit conf
dcnce and that his two friends, spoken
Of in the following narrative, are persons
OF unquestioned character and integrity.

To THE PoINT.-A Methodist preacher
who was on his way to a camp meeting,
happened to think that he had left his
horn at home, and. as that is certainly
very useful in calling together the lambs
of the flock, he stopped at a tin shop on
his way for the purpose of purchasing
one.
"WilI this make a loud noise p he
asked, selecting one that appeared TO suit
him.
ooh, yes, heH of a noise !" said the
tinker producing piece of paper to roll
it up IN.
"Well, as want it to blow at a camp
meeting, / guess it is not the kind l am
looking for" and the parson walked dig
nifiedly away.

the Holy Family, at Auburn, over the order
Of Bishop McQuaid supplanting Rev. Mr..
O'Flaberty and supplying his place with
Rev. Mr.. Kavanaugh, has not yet con-

terday morning, and at the 5 o'clock meet
ing Rev. Mr.. O'Flaherty commenced the
service. The Bishop and Rev. Mr.. Kava"
naugh went to the church, and finding him
there, ordered him outside the altar rail
ings. He refused to obey the order, in
sisting that he was still pastor Of the
church. The Bishop then said he " would
not have service to-day" yesterday, and
retired to another church, delivering on ad-
dress in which Rev. Mr.. O'Flaherty was
censured for his rebellious conduct. The
same parties were in attendance that were
present the previous Sunday, and some
of the Auburn police were on hand to pre-
vent an utbreak.-Rochester Chronicle,

RAILROAD AcC1DENr.-Montreal, March
1.-The Montreal train which left New
York on Friday was thrown from the track,
owing to defective rail, near Pittsford,
VT, on the Rutland and Burlington rail-
road. The sleeping car was hurled down a
steep slope some thirty feet, near the banks
Of the Cotter river. The car was wrecked,
but no lives were lost, although several
passengers were injured. General Averill,
United States Consul General to Canada,
received some severe cuts and bruises on
his head. Lieutenant Fitzgerald, Of the
Rifles, son of the Duke of Cambridge, was
also bruised, though not dangerously, and
several other passengers were hurt. The
passengers on the other cars, under the di-
rection Of General Averill, who got out
through window, extinguished the FIRE,
which had communicated to some Of the
cars, with snow, and e1tricated the passen-
gers within.

MATCHMAKING BIT WHoLEsALE.-A short
time since, at wedding in South Carolina,
young lawyer moved that one man in the
company should be selected as president /;
that this president should be duly sworn to
keep entirely secret all the communications
that should be forwarded to him in his Off
cial department that night; that each I'M
married gentleman and lady should write
his or her name on a piece of paper, and
under it place the name of the person they
wished to marry, then hand it to the presi-
dent for inspection, and if any lady and
gentleman had reciprocally chosen each
other, the president was to inform each Of
the result, and those who had not been re-
ciprocal in their choice were to be kept en-
tirely secret. After the appointment of
the president, communications were accord
ingly handed up to the chair, and it was
found that twelve young ladies and gentle
men had reciprocal choices, and eleven Of
the twelve matches were solemnized.

THE ALABAMA TREATY.-The language
that has been used in this country against
the Alabama treaty with England points
not to a different form Of treaty, but directly
to war; and on this question the Saturday
Rsyie,o (London) says:
"Yet il is Incredible that any serious
politician in the United States should contem-
plate, after years Of negotiation ending in
the concession Of almost every American de-
maud, an utterly unprovoked resort to arms.
1t is, indeed, by latent menaces that Anne
rican diplomacy has succeeded IN alarming
the timid portion Of the English community
including, perhaps, more than one states
man high in Office; but there is limit to
the concessions which might be preferable
10 rupture. If the treaty Is not ratl-
fed, there ought to be no hurry IN
recommending negotiations. After aap-
preaching to the verge Of humiliation
in it's anxiety for justice and conciila-
ton, the English Government has thrown
upon the United States the responsibility
Of deliberately keeping the quarrel open.
No great importance should be attached to
the willful retention Of pretext for war.
Grave as the evils of war would be, 1t
would be better for England TO face 1t at
once than to submit to intolerable degra-
dation. A war gratuitously commenced for
the purpose Of ayenging on England the
recognition Of belligerenoy which was 81

The CHINESE HABEAs CORPUS CASES IN
SAN FRANCIsCo.-The courts have much
trouble at the present time in adjusting the
relations between some of the two hundred
and fifty China women who arrived on the
last steamer from Hong Kong and their
countrymen in this city. The Chinese have
an exalted idea Of the efficacy Of the writ
of habeaS corpus and attachment on civil
process. Just now they employ tho former.
On Saturday at o'clock P. M. two women
appeared before the fourth district court,
who were claimed by four husbands. Two
of the latter were recent arrivals from
China, and the other two live here. 1t ap-
peared in evidence that the women had
been abducted and sold to purchasers, who
went Immediately before Judge Pennie, and
were married according to the "Melican ="
style. The women were sworn, and when
one Of them was asked which husband she
would 60 with, she answered both. The
interpreter explained to her that that would
be bigamy-a thing which the court would
notsanction. She must choose only one. Her
first love seemed must enduring, and she
tried to fall into the arms of her "prece-
dent lore" %; at all events, she chose him.
The next woman abducted manifested q
desire to 60 with both husbands, but finding
that impossible, she preferred the old one.
The parties were then dismissed. Similar
writs have been sued out by husbands and
other relatives of more women from the
same recent invoice, and they will probably
be permitted to designate the persons with
whom they prefer to live, or who have the
best prior right to their custody.-San
Francisco Bulletin, Fsbruary1.
