Notable Dream.

A writer in the ArgOSy, says: CDR. Nc
Nish happening TO sleep in damp sheets;
dreamed he was dragged through the stream.
Dr. Symonds witnessed in his sleep what he
thought was prolonged storm OF thunder,
which he was afterwards able to trace to the
light of candle brought suddenly into the
dark room where he had fallen asleep. He
relates that person having blister applied
to his head fancied he was scalpcd by party
of Indians. l remember, when boy, sleep
ing in a strange house, in an old fashioned
room, with an oakeH store cupboard over the
bed. | dreamed that | was being murdered,
the assassin struck me on the head, and awoke
with sense of pain in that region. Putting
my hand to my forehead, l found it sticky
with blood. felt almost too i'll to cry for
help, but at length alarmed the household,
and on procuring light it was discovered
that some fermented jam had leaked through
the bottom OF the cupboard, and had fallen
upon my head in small, sluggish stream.
"a few months ago, shortly before going to
bed, friend had been discussing with me the
peculiar instincts of animals, and particularly
their sense OF the coming on of storm. After
this he dreamed that he was Worcester short
horn, grazing on pleasant meadow on the
Hereiordshire side of the Malvern Hills. he
had number of companions-signs of a storm
appeared in the sky-a misty vapOr hung on
the weIl-doRn beacon. He remembered dis
tinctIy, although he was cow watching with
a sense of great delight, the beauty OF the
preliminary tokens of the storm. With the 9TH
er cows quietly he stroled towards the shelter
of an adjacent tree, and waited until the storm
should break. He was chewing the cud and
relishcd its herbaceous favor. He distinctly
remembered waggiDg his tail. Yet all tho
time he had fall reasoning faculties, and
lively sense of the beauties of the scenery.

[From the Memphis Avalanche, Jan. 10.
Fruits of Radical Reconstruction.

Last Thursday night, our readers will re-
member, negro named Wash Henry left the
heichborhood of Bartlett Station, on the
Memphis and Louisville Railroad, eleven
miles from Memphis, and carried with him
white girl named Ellen Jones, daughter OF
a blacksmith, for whom he had been working.
The father came to Memphis; the guilty
pair went to Germantown. on the Memphis
and Charlestown Railroad, by travelling across
the country in the night. The girl stopped
or was detained at Germantown; her colorcd
escort fled on to Collieryille, eight or nine
miles further, and about twenty-five miles
from Memphis. At Colliervile lie was over
taken by party of Mr. Jones neighbors, six
Young men, who got on the right track and
followed the fugitive from Bartlett. MIR.
Jones hastcned to Germantown and returned
sadly with his daughter to his home, six miles
southeast of BARTLETT The persons who cap
tured the negro found 500 on his person.
The girl, by the way. Is seventeen years DID,
saws she gave him that out of the S4OO or
$500 she Stole from her father, to take her
away from home. She was determined to go,
she said, as far as the money would convey her.
Her leading idea seems to have been to get
awav from the restraints of the parental root.
The negro was conveyed across the country
towards Bartlett, to be examined on whatever
charge might be preferred against him Six
men had him in charge. When within about
two miles of Bartlett, just after dark, party
Of twenty-five men, all masked, rode up and '
demanded the prisoner, who was riding be,
hind one of the young men. They refused
to give him up, but were so entirely surround
ed that they saw resistance woul be useless
One of the maskers rode up and was about to
shoot the negro on the horse. The young
man in front of him demonstrated and was
struck over the head with the butt OF pls-
tol. The end of the matter was that the ne.
gro was surrendered, and very soon afterward
several shots were heard by the six young
men, who had been permitted to 20 on uu-
molcsted. On Saturday the body of the ne
gro was found riddled with bullets. A cor
oner's inquest was held, and the jury render,
ed verdict that the deceased was shot and
killed by unknown persons,

Wellington and General Lee.

Tu the last number of the Southern ReUict0
there is paper instituting remarkable COM
parison between achievements of the Duke
of Wellington and General Lee, which has
an interest peculiarly attractive at this time.
The RcvieW, speaking of the achievements
Of Wellington, says:
AS compared with those of General Lee,
they seem. including even Waterloo, absolute
" insignificant. General Lee, with force
not so large as the Anglo Portuguese regular
army Which Wellington had under him when
he encountered Massena in 1S09-not half
SO large as his whole force, if the Portuguese
militia be taken into account-in the space
of twenty eight days, in three battles killed
and wounded more than Wellington ever kill
ed and wounded during his whole career,
from Assaye to Waterloo, both inclusive.
In one of these battles Lee killed and
wounded more men by 5000 than the French
army lost, including prisoners, in the whole
campaign Of Waterloo and the pursuit in the
gates of Paris. In the same battle he Killed
and wounded more men than Wellington,
Blucher and Napoleon, all three together lost
in killed and wounded i'll the battle of Wa
terloo, by 5000 men. In the second of these
battles he killed and wounded the same num-
Der that both the opposing armies lost In the
battle of Waterloo; and in the third he killed
and wounded more by 1000 men than the
French alone lost in the battle of Waterloo.
In the three battles together, Lee killed and
wounded more tlcn by at least 80, 600 than
the allies and French lost in the whole cam>
paign, including prisoners.
amounted, at one time, to $4,000 men the
force with which Wellington and Bluchcr
acted was, according to English estimates,
100000 strong. The force to which Lee
was opposed was, from first to last, 240, 900
strong; the force to which Wellington
and BIucher were opposed was but 122 600
strong When Massena invaded Portugal in
1910, Wellington had $4,000 Portuguese reg
ulars, who, at the battle Of BusacO, according
to Wellington's own account, proved them
selves worthy to fight side by side with the
British veterans" besides 49, ,0G0 admirable
Portuguese militia. He had Lisbon for his
base, with British fleet riding at anchor,
and innumerable vessels Of other descriptions );
plying between the ports OF England, and
bringing the most abundant supply Of arms,
provisions and munitions of war. He ha d
surrounded the port with the most tremen-
dous system of fOrtifcatons known in modern
times, and his task was to defend the strong
est country in Europe. In Lees case, his
enemy had possession Of the sea, aud could
and did land n powerful army to attack the
very base Of his operations, while he was
fighting another still! greater strength in front.
1t is probably not altogether just 20 Yelling
ton to institute this comparison. If his
deeds look but commonplace beside the
achievements of his campaign, so oall others
The history Of the world can not exhibit such
a campaign os. that Of Lee in 1864.

The Confederate Constitution.

1t is no little tribute to the prominent wis
dom of those distinguished men who framed
the Confederate Constitution. that in that in
strument alone are to be found stern and eff
fectual remedies for the enormous vilanies
that at present crust the best government the
world ever saw from its head to its heels.-
Starting with the principles that the ultimate
power of government should be in the hands
Of virtue and intelligence, aud that the ad-
ministration of government should be at once
efficient, permanent, and honest, the trainers
of the Confederate Constitution, while taking
the old Federal Constitution as the basis of
their handiwork, inserted into that instrument
such wise and salutary provisions as offer the
only hope, in their adoption, of good govern
ment to the North. Yes ! we do not hesitate
to say that only by conforming to the main
provisions of this "rcbel" Constitution as they
call it, the Constitution of the Confederate
States, can the people of the North assure
themselves against bankruptcy, and not only
bankruptcy, but even a worse measure of dcs-
potism than they have metcd out to us. At
this day one of their greatest curses is the
unrestrainc6 exercise of that hoggish rapacty
in their public men which for so many years
was held in check by the stern front presented
in Congress by the Southern delegations
Now it runs riot theft is the order of the
day, and if anything were needed to show
what nests of pilfcrcrs their halls OF council
are, it would appear in the fact that the fac
sinriie of any loil members frank may be OBJ
tanned for three dollars. With personal honesty
at this despcablc cbb, it is not surprising that
the public men of the North are but so many
prairie wolves tugging at the carcass Of the
State, and that if in some way they arc not
flogged off Of their prey there will soon be
nothing left o. "the best Government the
world ever saw" but its whitening bones.
Some of them sec this and are casting about
for remedy, and, so far as there is remedy
for such state of things, they must find it in
the Confederate Constitution, distasteful as
that may be- That instrument was made for
an honest people and to be administered by
honest men and fthis trooly loil North wishes
to save itself from being robbed by its own
chosen representatives, it must bring them up
to the honorable mark of the fundamental law
of the Southern Coufederacy. by that law
no money could be checked out of the Treasury
save on a two thirds vote Of each house Of Con
grcss, so that when the peoples property was
taken it was taken by two-thrds of the people
themselves as represented in their legislative
halls By the Constitution Of the United
Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1869-02-09

Hew the Richest Man in the World
Lived,

As every one is interested to know how so
rich man as Baron Rothschild lived, cores
pondents are particular as to every movement
of his daily life. 1t is stated that he rose
every morning at six O'clock His body setS
want shaved and dressed him. Meantime, NJ:
Bohdeville (teacher of eloeution, who fits peo-
pie for the stage) read the newspapers to him
and told him the gossip of the greenrooms of
Paris theatres. He was dressed for the day
at this hour, putting on even white cravat.
He next received PruSSian named Bernafd,
with whom he examined the quotations from
the great exchanges of Europe, and decided
upon and gave orders for the transactions of
the day. lie next received the correspon-
dence clerks, took from them the more inn
portant letters which required n reply from
the baron, and approved or modified the pro-
posed replies to other letters. Then the al
moner came in and reported on the poor
relieved, and received new instructions. He
then went to N me. de Rothschild for her iu-
structions After the almoner retired the
baron received his experts, men who kept him
informed of all art and book sales they made
reports or received instructions. He then
went to breakfast All the family met at
breakfast. and usually one or two of his married
children were present. After breakfast the
baron went to his office (Which was immcdi-
ately on the street and separated from his
house by the courtyard; a covered way reach
ed from one to the other) to receive people.
At two o'clock he would sometimes 90 to the
Bourse, or oftener to the auction mart, for he
was fond of buying objects of curiosity and
pictures lie would return to his othce at
four o clock drive down TO Chateau de Surensc
or Bois de BOulogue, returning at o'clock
to his club, where he would play whist at ten
sous point until dinner time During the
last part of his life he became eccentric in
good many small matters. He carried porte
mornaie which was closed by lock, although
he never carried more than fifty francs about
him (''if man carries more he is sometimes
led to cxtravagant expense" he used to say),
and often nothing at all. lie carried the key
of this lock on his watch chain. The mems
bers of the club in the Rue Royale used to
laugh to see the baron fumblug for his key
and even his lock CHS sight was lntterly im-
paircd). aud when, at last, he managed to open
the porte-monnae, to find it empty. After
dinner he received company at home, or wen.
to some theatre.
