Dreams s

There seemed to be tall of new paper, to be 1" filled with libellou tattacks upon every prominent Democrat fl the District" That he, should dream ol just such paper, that. alse,l if such 3 project was on foot, his services should be in request, seemed all very natural to the editor of the Sentinel and plausible tc us; but on one point the tale is incom plete. How was he received by some ot those gentlemen, those for instance, who sent him to the legislature from Cornwall who procured him an Assistant Collector ship, an Assistant Assessorship, an Assis
 tant Editorship of the Bridgeport Gandard' We are inclined to believe that there was an unpleasant portion of this dream not related in the Sentinel There is a precise. ly similar case on record in the remarkable dream of George, Duke of Clarence, short. ly before his final souse in butt of malna sey wine. This Clarence, it will be re- membered, Johnsonized under Edward the Fourth of England, whose brother he was. After helping Warwick dethrone Edward, and marrying daughter of the old king. maker, he "went back on" the new con. nection, betrayed Warwick to his brother, and assisted at the stabbing of young prince Edward of Lancaster. In his dream he fell in with Warwick and the Prince, the latter of whom "goes for'' him in the following rough style: ton a.t ,.s
 Clarence is come false heeting periared Clarence That stabbed me in the field by Tewskbury;
 Seize on him, furies, take him to your torments ' Which the furies proceeded to do. sJ EFy
 Another reason for supposing that this dream is not all told is to be found in the remarkable evidences of shattered nerves that appear all over the last Sentinel. Among the marriages we find the name of little girl of -four (dead, poor thing ?. Then among the names of the gentlemen at the imaginary Republican meeting ap- pears that of Anson s. Knox, staunch old democrat, now within the jail limits, whose chief concern is, that, like Sterne's stariing, Che can't get out" Another indication of disordered brain is to be found in an upprovoked attack upon the near relative of the proprietor of the Sentinel who edits the Winsted Herald but the funniest dis pensation of all is that which located the following tender love note in an advertis- ing column, when it plainly belongs among the editorials ... ..f.....s.rl -f., ,s..f..

Will the young lady who wore bracelets, carried blue fan, sat two seats back of the one that broke down. and noticed young naon ecih naoustache, send her address, if agreeable, to Box 124, Ltchfeld, Conn. 1'l @a]
 Gan it be possible that among the other high Republican dignitaries, the editor of the Sentinel dreamed he saw the highest of all-the man for whom he voted in Novem- Der 1868 and whom, under the Sentinel con
 tract, he is now stabbing so constantly |?

 EVERY SATURDAY for March II begins Mr. Charles Reade's new novel, "A Terri ble Temptation. with Q. number spicy enough to attract readers who demand sen- sational work, and yet true enough to na- ture to interest those of very different class. There is, this week, most startling contrast between the yielding young thing who says to her lover, 70, please let me obey you, mag IT," and that same lover's kept mistress who remarkr, "He shall n ct marry her. I'll kiU him first" and really means it. "In A Terrible Temptation J say the publishers of Every Saturday, 'Mr. .Reade boldly grapples with one of the most delicate and perplexing questions at present agitating society. The fallen wo- man is unhappily not new to literature but she is new in the unalluring, realistic shape in which Charles Reade presents her in the preliminary chapters of his novel. The Saturday Reviews 'Woman of the Pc. riod' is brilliant abstraction, and Margue- rite Gautier, ;n La Dame Aux Can,elias, is the dream of French sentimentalist but Rhoda Somerset is human being taken from the London Streets, sinful, ignorant
 and terribly real.'' .r.. ,. 4at ,5 e- l An excellent portrait of MT. Motley, 6 double page sketch of Vessel among Ice
 burgs, and numerous other illustrations, keep up the reputation of Every Saturday as the best of our illustrated papers. , 5t f'--t t----- -->----
