A Dream .

Mr.. Editor Il once Tad dream which
from its singularity may prove intcres-
ting. thought ! saw standing by me
wonderfully beautiful being whose counte-
nance glowed with rosy light. She re-
sembled in form and face lovely woman
Instead, however. of having two eyes she had
only one, round large eye four or five
times as big as the human eye, which was
placed in the centre of her forehead. This
eye was Of exceeding beauty, far more beau
tiful than anything have ever seen while
awake AS I gazed upon her, it seemed to
me that could read her thoughts. In this
silent manner she let me know that she was
an inhabitant of the planet Venus, that all
the people Of that planet were like herself.
that their eyes were SO large and SO init
mately connected with their brains that by
merely looking into each others eyes they
could read each others thoughts. The yis-
sion here gradually faded away and | stop
ped dreaming and slept soundly.
I hope Mr.. Editor you will not regard
the above as an attempt at fancy sketch
have merely expressed in words real,
bona tde dream. B.

A Good Joke.

Mr.. Price, the President Of the West Vir-
ginia Convention, is an old Virginian, as
our readers know He was with us during
the war-was our Lieutenant-Governor, in
fact In speech the other day in favor Of
restoring the viva uoce mode Of voting, he
was caught tripping-as follows:
The gentleman from Marion {Mr Hay
mond) says if we adopt the vipa poee We
shall have two systems ut the same election,
as Congress has said that all elections for
copgressmer shall be by ballot. Would
there be any trouble or confusion in this
He thought not. Do We not now haYe two
systems ? Do we not vote an open ballot for
election for President and write our names
upon the back of the ticket? [''No no ! not
now, Mr.. President from different parts
of the house, Well, We certainly did the
last time I voted for President A voice
"All changed now" Mr.. Price, continuing
very good humoredly: | guess it has been
so long since | voted that I don't know
much about it. Roars of laug in
which Mr.. Price very heartily joined and
took his seat.
The Convention decided to stick to the
ballot.

Never was the lie more completely and
clFectually given to foul SANDER, than in
the action of the Southern delegates at the
National Democratic Convention. The
gentlemen there assembled from the South
we're not of the class OF Southern men who
attended the Philadelphia gathering, but
were representative men md fully author
lied to speak and answer for their people
in every particular. Many Of them had
taken part in the struggle which ended in
1865, and had fought well aud CALAMITY
throughout the war, yet not one of all the
number ever shared in greater victory
than in the part they took to aid in per-
fecting the re.cstablishmcut fraternal rch-
tons between the sections in the nomln-
alton of Greeley and Brown at Baltimore,
They then and there showed that they
were willing to meet the North halfway,
shake hands with all honorable enemies,
and join with them in common effort for
the future welfare of the entire country;
and gave practical evidence to the ialsity
of the charges of disloyalty and bad faith
so pcrsistcntly set up against them by I'M
sorupulous partisans of the present corrupt
Administration. Day by day the people
Of the North are opening their eyes to the
fact that no real prosperity can exist
throughout the country, without the ac.
compartment Of good feeling between the
sections, and we feel that we are not con.
occurring in vain, in expressing the hope
that this opinion will be given practical
expression, by the election Of Greeley and
Brown in November.
