DREAMS VERIFIED.-Last Wednesday
night. a lady in lower Gold Hill had a
singular dream. which she mentioned
TO her family. On Thursday herdream
was exactly verified. On Thursday

| strangely apparent on the following
DAYS. On Saturday night she dreamed
about a most terrible earthquake. and
at the dinner. table yesterday after
noon. where q number of guests were
assembled. sh9 related her strange
dreams. causing some considerable
speculation regarding them. Last
night. sure enough, her dream was
very plainly demonstrated-which
would indicate that there is some
thing in dreams not altogether super

last night was not on the subject OF

SILvER-BEARISa lead ores of unusual
value are now being worked in Arkan-
sas, about ten miles north Of Little
Rock. The mines were discovered in
1913, and an analysis made in that year,
Orleans, showed that the samples Of
ore, out Of one thousand parts, yielded
three parts of fine silver. This proper
ton gives a value OF Sll3 for every
1000 pounds. The nssayer stated that
lead yielding $50 to the ton would pay
the expenses Of parting, and that the
specimens, therefore, should be consid-
cred as Indicating q very rich argentif-
erous lead ore. The discovery Of gold
in California, however, prevented a de-
velopment Of these Arkansas silver
mines, and further attention was not
directed towards them till within the
last two years. A more extended exam
ination recently made by tho State
Geologist of Indiana disclosed speci-
mems Of brittle sulphuret Of lead, yield
ing FIVE per cent. Of silver, or 50, 1873 in
coin to the ton of 1000 pounds. A
specimen analysed in the Philadelphia
Mint, gave a coin value Of 81, 232 TO the
ton of 1000 pounds. These samples,
however, may be extraordinarily rich in
silver, and several tons Of ore should
be smelted in order 20 ascertain the fair
average value. A shaft IS feet deep ha,
recently been sunk, and further opera
tious will show whether the precious
metals may DO added to the productions
Of Arkansas.

Tals is a good story of a citizen who
used to go home slightly inebriated,
and take q lunch usually set out for
him by his considerate wife:
One night, beside the usual dish of

filled with caps in starch. The lamp had
long been extinguished when the stag.
gering sot returned home, and, by mis-
take, when proceeding TO satisfy his
hunger, he stuck his fork iuto the
wrong dish. He worked away ut his
mou,hful of caps very patiently for
some time, but finally being unable to
masticato them, he said to bis wife /:
" Old woman, where did you get your

TAXATION.

We notice the receipt of q letter,
tome days ago, by the Secretary of the
Treasury, inclosing $40 with the fol-
explanation: The writer is
afraid that If his whole income were
published it would injure his business
BY creating competition. He therefore
pays part Of his income tax to the Col
and RENTS the rest to Washing
ton. Some rather loose swearing, and
not a little ingenuity in bookkeeping
must have been required to accomplish
this business transaction" OF the
strict honesty of the proceeding there
are more than doubts. But the desire
OF the operator to keep his own counsel
in his business is natural. Nor is he
by many thousands the only person who
would be glad to shield his accounts
from awkward publicity. We can
readily believe that there are many
business pursuits which are injured, If
not ruined, by the public exhibit Of re.
ceip,s, expenses and net profits. And
herein is found one Of the strongest OBJ
jections to the income tax. If the wis
dom of u legislators could devise
some mode by which the manner of
| collection would require less minute and
inquisitorial examination into the affairs
of citizens aud their sources Of income,
the Treasury and the taxpayers would
both be benefited. Tho revenue would
be increased, IL the machinery were
made less complicated. At the first
look the income tax appears more equit'
able than any other and yet its opera
ton has been very obnoxious to sensi'
tive persons, and very i~neonrenient to
others. No form Of taxation, we are
aware, is perfectly satisfactory to those
who pay. Aud as the spur Of patriot
ism and of urgent necessity Is now re-
moved by our condition of peace, the
process of collecting becomes continu'
ally more irksome.
The radical and only effective cure
will be found in the reduction OF the
public deb. and interest, and in the
dimiuutiou of the expenses Of the Gov
eminent. We quite agree with those
journalists who think that u diPlo'
macy is an annual drain which might
DO sensibly reduced. There are many
merely ornamental functionaries, re-
siding abroad at the national expense,
whose actual services are really not ap'
probable. In former times, when com
m~unication with the Old World was If
regular and slow, resident agents were
required. But now, that we can know
by telegraph yesterdays news FROM
almos. all really important points, th'
old and cumbersome machinery Of ofi
clal communication might DO saved
and If this process lessened EXECUTIVE
patronage, and thereby party bicker
ings, there would be another great ad
vantage gained.
Poor men and poor nations are com
~pellsd-or, it is thought they are com
pelled-to keep up appearances. Blu.
we have reached a point where We cor
afford to be economical in u shoU dis
bursemeuts. Prudence and economy
are really the most important ends t'
be striven for in our public administra
ton. The less taxation We are callet
on to endure, the greater will DO GU
prosperity, and the nearer shall VI
come to honesty in our dealings, publi'
and private.

A LOCOMOTIVES BOILER, it is calculated,
will last until the engine has travelled
over $4,000 miles. On some lines,
however, the boiler, under favorable
circumstances, particularly when pure
water is used, may travel 100, 900 or
500, 900 miles before becoming unser-
viceable. Assuming that the life of the
engine is determined by the endurance
Of the boiler, and that if under favor.
able circumstances, it will last the 500,-
900 miles, then during that time it is
estimated that the fire-box will probably
require to be renewed at least three
times, the tires Of the wheels FIVE or
perhaps six times, the crauk-axles three
or four times, and the tubes from seven
to ten times.
