4 STRANGE CoINcIDENoE.-A cir

A STRANGE COINCIDENCE-A cir
cumstance, rather startling in its nature.
regarding the Harper murder, was made
known to- US yesterday We were in
formed byMr. Frank Harper that the
wife of Wallace Harper dreamed, the
Saturday night before the murder, that
Jake and Miss Betsy were both killed
by negro man and a boy, and that the
man had long whiskers. The descrip-
ton given of the man answers exactly to
that of Tom Baker, one of the negroes
arrested upon suspicion of completely in
the murder This is very strange, but
what seems the strangest is that the hor-
rid picture should have haunted the
dreams of lady relative of the deceased
only day before his murder. We are
not given to superstition or inclined to
attach Importance to dreams, but if this
one was made known before the murder,
we think it one of the most remarkable
occurrences in modern times eriHg-

STRENGTH OF INSECTS. strength
Of an insect can be finely illustrated by
feat that was once performed by a
bee-le-a Vriety that is quite common
in the United States. The beetle. for
want of any box at hand. was put be-
meath quar- bottle full of milk upon a
table, the hollow at the bottom allowing
him room to stand upright. Presently,
to the surprise of all in the room, the
bottle began slowly to move and glide
alorg the smooth table, propelled by the
muscular power of the imprisoned insect,
and continued for some time to peram-
bulate the surface. The weight of the
bottle and its contents could not have
been less than three pounds and half,
while that of the beetle was about hale
an ounce, so that it readily moved a
weight of one hundred aud twelve times
exceeding its own. A better notion than
figures can convey will be obtained by
supposing lad of fifteen to be impris-
oned under the great bell of st. Paul's,
which weighs $4,000 pounds, and to
move it to and fro upon smooth pave
ment by pushing within against the side.

The Hon. james Brooks, writing from
Japan, gives a most glowing description
of the country. After referring to the
great abundance of fish and the fondness
of the natives for them, he alludes to the
farms, and says:
thought once, when on the Nile,
that the Egyptians, who could turn sands
into gardens were the great farmers of
the world but the Egyptians could
make no such farming gardens as these
Proud as I'm of the arts, sciences, and
marvellous doings of my own country,
blush when l compare American farm
ing with this. Here are the rice fields
artifeially created, luxuriant in beauty
now, terfaced from hin side, up and
down, and watered by the hiIl-streams,
or not watered, as the husbandman wills.
There are barley fields and bean fields
and fields of all sorts of Japan agricul-
tural productions Forests cap ell the
hilitops. Two crops are raised in Japan
in one year, even on the rice fields, where
the first crop is grain. The grain har-
vest is over in April or May The rains
come on in june and July, and now the
new crops are up, and the whole country
is one bseutiful landscape of green"

What il Will DO.

The Democratic Legislature of lndi-
ana has declared the Fifteenth Amend
rent null aud void That is just the
plank that was inserted in the platform
that Seymore ran on during the late Pres-
dental campaign, and was suggested by
The great South Carolina rebel. Wade
Hampton" The reader remembers, too,
that Frank Blair was on the ticket with
Mr. Srymore for Vice President. and that
he advocated the overthrow Of the recon-
struction measures. Mr. Blair is now a
Senator in the United States Senate, and
last week, when the action Of the Legis
lature of Indiana was uuder considera-
tion, he took occasion to re declare him
self against the reconstruction measures.
The Democratic party has never recog-
nized the eonstitutionality of those meas
ures, and if it gets into power it will ig
more them IA TOO. That is what it will
do. ..

puts in a word for General Allen:
