A STRANGE COINCIDENCE.-A clrcun-
stance rather startling in its nature re-
garding the Harper murder, was made
known to us yesterday. We were inform :
ed by Mr.. Frank Harper that the wife OF
Wallace Harper dreamed, the Saturday,
night before the murder, that Jake and
Miss Betsy were both killed by a a negro 1aao2
whiskers. The description given of the
man answers exactly to that OF ION, ION d Ba-
melon of completely in the murder. This
IS iI very strange but what seems the strang-
est is that the horrid picture should have
haunted the dreams of lady. relative OF
the deceased only day before the murder
We are not given to superstition or inclln-
ed to attach importance to dreams, DuC II
der, we think it one of the most remarka-
bic occurrences in modern times.-LeF'ng-
tom Press.

STORING TURNIPs. OF bush
els of turnips are destroyed every winter
from careless storing. They are often
placed in a warm cellar and hundreds OF
bushels in one heap, where they become AZ!
heated and rotten. They may be stored IN
cool cellars, particularly in the more nor
thern States; but not more than hal1
dozen bushels should be put in one bin or
box. Barrels are far more convenient
than boxes, and hold enough for safety, TO
the turnips. When the crop is large, they
should be stored in heaps in the field, GOV,
ering with straw or hay until the grountd
begins to freeze, then throw on some soil,
leaving an air-hole at the top. Make the
heaps in dry place, and gather only IN
dry weather, cutting off leaves and long
tap-rOots. .,,u
nips injured in winter by heat than frost,
in consequence of being placed in large
heaps. twenty-five or thirty bushels are
as many as it is safe to place together, and
then very little protection is required. Ii
every ever farmer would only take due notice
of how his turnips keep through winter he
would soon learn just how to manage them
and prevent loss.-RuraL NeaO Yorker.

The Oxford Ku.Klux Trial.

MEMPHIS, July 1.-The Aralanche OK
ford) special saws in the Ku-klux trial to-
day that Joe G.. Davis, colored, testified
that on the night in question three Of the
defendants came to his house and told him
that be was one of those radical fellows,
and. ordered him to follow them. In fear
of his life he did so. After proceeding a
short distance they donned DISCUSSES, and
furnished him also with one of red and
black, and a mule to ride. The party then
went TO Pages house, which was entered,
and Joe was ordered to tie Pages hands
with rope A bed cord was, cut to furnish a
suspender, and the marauders rode off to
the woods, four miles distant, when Joe
and another negro named Henry Hatch
were left in charge of the horses, while the
party entered the woods. - The prisoner in
a few minutes heard sound of stripes, and
the wretched man beseeching his murderers
TO allow him time 10 pray or see his wife,
both of which entreaties were denied. After
a short time Joe was called into the woods
where he found Page lying on the ground
beside rude, shallow made grave, with
the rope around his neck, showing that
death had resulted from hanging. The
body was tumbled into the grave by Joe
and other negroes present by order OF the
leaders and hastily covered with earth
and leaves, when the entire party rode of,
stripped themselves of their disguise, sepa-
rated and went TO their several homes
shortly before daylight. Witness under
went a scorching cross-examination, but
the defense failed to shake his testimony.
He identified three of the white and two of
the colored defendants as having been ac-
tive in the tragedy.

Thomas and sheridan.

A statement having appeared in the Iri-
buae, coming from Cath" its Washington
correspondent, to the effect that General
George H. Thomas was passed over by
General Sheridan, when the latter was
made Lieutenant General, Major Hartsuff,
Adiutant General of the military division
of the Missouri, makes the following state
ment of the facts in regard TO the Tribune:
When General Grant vacated the office of
General of the army and General Sherman
succeeded him, the list of Major Generals in
order of rank was as follows: Halleck, Mead.
Sheridan, Thomas. and Hancock. General
Thomas was made Brigadier General in
the regular army before General Sheridan,
but when General Sheridan was promoted
to Major General for his distinguished ser
vices in the Shenandoah Valley, ending
with the battle of. Cedar Creek, not voice
was raised against the justice and propriety
of his promotion, which was accompanied
BY an autograph letter from President Lin
coin, thanking him for his great services to
the country. Subsequently, General Thomas
for his distinguished services at the battle
of Nashville, was made Major General, TAX
ing his place on the list next below Gen
eral Sherman. If, therefore, General Thomas
had been made Lieutenant General, it
would have been General Sheridan in addi-
ton 10 Generals Meade and Halleck, who
would have been passed over.

The CHICAGO Eteni,sd Post saws: e

The strength of the administration is
shown by the kind of attacks made on it.
If there was anything worth saying, the
opposition press would not waste all their
energies on such mOmentous affairs as the
President and Cabinet escaping for few
days from the excessive worry and torrld
climate of Washington for little rest, At,
tacks of that class show that they are hard
pushed for subject matter. The purchase
OF new horse by the executive throws the
whole organization into spasln. 1t diiates
and enlarges on the enOrpity involved.
But on such trifiing affairs as raising the
currency from a depreciation of $50 per
cent to about par; the reduction of taxa
ton; the payment of over two hundred and
twenty-five millions of public debt; the
honest collection of revenue; the reform
and economy everywhere inaugurated in
the public service, and every measure gen
orally esteemed important. they have not
a word to say. Vague charges and glitter
ing generalities make up the sum of active
opposition. Indeed, the President is nearly
as fortunate in his enemies as his friends.
The smallness of their inventions serve TO
set off the greatness of his achievements.
They, furnish a rush ight to bring into
strong relief a mountain Of honorable
deeds and upright purposes.

That the thirst for litigation should be
somewhat slaked by, the. intense weather is
not only very natural, but extremely fortu-
nate, for we can fancy nothing more trying
than to be compelled to visit the dingy pre-
cincts of the law when the mercury is ii
cochetting about in the nineties.
The stone pavements in the vicinity OF
the queer old Frenchy temple of justice are
blistering hot, the brick walls in the narrow
streets adjacent throw out furnace-like

Eighth District Court.-Senator p. b. s..
Pinchback Sues the jackson Railroad
and III. :. McComb for S2j ,OO0 DAM
ages. -...... ..... ....
Pc. S. Pinchback has filed a suit in this
court against the New Orleans, jackson
and Great Northern railroad, in which he
represents that on the nineteenth OF June.
1871, he went to the Office of said company
in this city, and purchased tickets for him
self and family, consisting of his wife and
three children, for ] urney to the State OF
New York. He AYERS that he also purchased
sleeping car tickets, and apartments were
assigned for himself and family in sleep
ing car of the company, to be used on the
twenty-second of June, 1871. He represents
that between the nineteenth and twenty
second of June the officers of the company
repudiated their contract with him for
sleeping car as aforesaid, and refused the
same to petitioner and his family, for the
sole reason that the petitioner is a man of
color. That the company, through its Off
GERS, expressed itself willing that his wife
and children should be allowed to travel in
the sleeping car, provided the petitioner did
not accompany them. He claims that
through having been thus denied he has
suffered damages in the sum of $4,000, as
his standing as man in the community has
been attacked, tor he occupies q position as
a representative citizen, both in public
and private capacity.

Trumpet Up Charges.
From the Missouri Democrat. !

NNASSN~AN HNA~NN~NN'i
WASHINGTON, July 3.-The Republican
this morning prints the story of Clifford
Thomson, concerning the offers he alleges
were made by parties in the treasury to sell
United States bonds from those deposited
in the department. Thomson brought the
matter TO the attention of the secretary,
and the latter declined to look into the mat
ter on the ground that he was perfectly
confident no such transaction could have
taken place. Much comment however, has
been caused by the prominence given to
the matter by the administration, and the
apparent attempt to use it against Governor
Boutwell, by such head lines as Strange
Stores Serious Charges Against the
Treasury Department" and ''Endeavor to
Implicate the Secretary of the Treasury in
Stupendous Fraud on the Government
The article has revived the old stories OF
the desire to induce Secretary Boutwell, to
leave the Cabinet through continued and
vexatious trouble with the Bureau OF In
ternal Revenue. The injustice OF the insinu-
ations against the secretary is admitted by
all without distinction of party.

The Cincinnati Gazette saws:

However much glory Admiral Rodgers
feet of five vessels and nearly seventeen
hundred men may gain in their operations
against Corea; and however much the
American sailors of the wrecked General
Sherman need to have their cruel treatment
bv the Coreans avenged, the pecuniary re-
suits of compelling the Coreans to open
their ports TO our trade will not be very
great at present. Corea, which nominally
belongs TO China, is peninsula, bounded
ON one side bv the Yellow sea and on the
other bv the sea of Japan. 1t is from two
to three hundred miles wide and nearly six
hundred and fifty long, with population of
over 100000. Snakes are abundant, and
the people are about as cruel and ttreach-
erous as the reptiles among which they
dwell
