LfncOln's Dream.

The President remarked that the Rows
would come soon and come fayorably he
had no doubt, for he had last night his
usual dream which had preceded nearly
every important event of the war | in
quired the particulars OF this remarkabIe
dream. He said it was in my department.
it related to the water; that he seemed to
be in singular and indescribable vessel,
but always the same, and that he was max.
ing with great rapidity toward a dark and
indefinite shore that he had had this sin
gular dream proceeding the firing on Sump-
ter, the battles of Bull Run, Antietam,
Gettysburg, Stone River, Vicksburg, Will
mington, etc. General Grant remarked,
with some emphasis and asperity, that
Stone River was no victOry-that many
such victories would have ruined the coun-
try, and he knew of no important results
from it, The President said that perhaps
he should not altogether agree with him,
but whatever might be the facts, his singu-
lar dream preceded that fight Victory did
not always follow his dream, but the events
and results were important. He had no
doubt that battle had taken place or was
about being fought, land Johnston will be
beaten, for l had this strange dream again
last night. 1t must relate to Sherman nv
thoughts are in that direction, and know
of no other very important event which is
likely just now to occur"
Great events did indeed follow. Within
a few hours the good and gentle as well as
truly great man who narrated his dream
was assassinated, and the murder which
closed forever his earthly career affected
for years, and perhaps forever, the welfare
Of his country. GALAXY.

Steamship Building ON the CLYDE,

The contracts for iron steamers on the
Clyde are said to have been materially re-
stricted of late by the increased rates which
the builders have been compelled to make
on all specifications submitted, consequent
upon the rise in labor and materials. The
work on hand, however, is reported to be-
heavy. Among the steamers launched the
past month are the California, 3400 tons,
500 horse power, for the Anchor line, be-
tween Glasgow and New York; the Frisia,
2774 tons and 600 horse power, for the Ham
burg American Steam Packet Company,
between Hamburg and New Orleans; and
the Vicksburg, $500 tons and 800 horse
power, tor the Liverpool and Mississippi
Steam Company, between the Mersey and
New Orleans. Among the launches we OBJ
serve quite a number for various CONT
mental companies.

Served Him Righf.

A genuine bully called upon a Friend,
avOwedly to thrash him.
Friend" demonstrated the Quaker,
knocking aside his visitors fists, .before
thou proceedest to chastise me, wilt thou
take some dinner! p
The bully was glutton and at once con-
sented, washing down the solids with liba-
tons of strong ale. He rose up again to
fulfill his original errand.
Friend, said the Quaker, "Wilt thou not
take some punch :" And he supplied album
dance Of punch.
The bully, now staggering, attempted to
thrash his entertainer; but quoth the
Quaker:
Friend, wilt thou take pipe!'
This hospitality was now accepted, and
the bully, utterly weak, staggered across
the room to chastise the Quaker. The lat
ter, opening the door, and pulling him to-
ward it, exclaimed:
Friend, thou earnest here not to be paci-
tied. gave thee q meat Offering, but that
did not assuage thy rage. gave thee a
drink offering; still thou vert beside thy
self. l gave thee burnt Offering; neither
did that suffice. Now will try thee with
a heave Offering" And with that he tossed
him out of doors. That suficed him.

Berwick's Bay Railroad Bridge.
We copy this from the New Iberia Sugar

We copy this from the New Iberia Sugar.
Bopl:
Since our last issue we have obtained
from the road official some additional par
ticulars about the construction of the rail
road bridge over Rerwick's Bay, at Bra
shear City.
The bridge will certainly be built, not
withstanding rumors to the contrary.
The water, instead of being eighty feet
deep, as commonly believed, is only about
fifty feet deep at one point, and less at all
other points.
There are no water worms in Berwick
Bay, as has been fully tested by the timbers
in the wharf at Brashear. The fresh water
prevents their yisitations.
1t is probable that the upper portion of
the bridge wiz be all iron, while the por-
ton under will be all wood. TIE opening
for steamers will be left at the deepest
point in the bay.
1t is feared that there will be consider
able delay in the commencement of the
work, on account of the difficulty in OBJ
tanning suitable timber until after high
water.
When finished this will be thesgneatest
railroad bridge in the South.

A Matter of Interest to sculptors.

A correspondent of the AheuGum writes:
"In view of the Royal Academy and Inter
national Exhibitions, it may be worth while
to draw the attention of sculptOrs to the
use of paratfin for saturating the surface of
plaster-Ofparis casts, instead Of employing
stearine. or clogging them with coats Of
paint. Paraffin, from it's comparatively I'M
changeable nature, its few chemical attini-
ties Lparam aftnisJ. the varieties obtained
from peat or mineral tar, indeed, having
been tried for ages by exposure to all sorts
of cosmical vicissitudes, seems, n.iori,
more likely to be durable in color and other
qualities than stearine. 1t softens at HOO,
melts at 1899, and is then easily applied, in
one or more dressings, to casts made pre-
viOusly warm in an oven or on a covered
stove. 1t imparts to the plaster an agree
able appearance of subdued transparency,
combined with solidity, far preferable to
to the effects produced by stearine. The
casts soon acquire an ivory-like tone, and
their surface is destitute of any greasy feel
or any unpleasant glare, unlike those
dipped in stearine, they do not appear, after
a trial of many month, to turn yellow
moreover, parafin is very cheap. OF course
the casts to be treated with it must be clear
to begin with, and any seams should be
neatly finished off.
When properly saturated for half an inch
or less in depth from the surface, the par
AHMED casts are smooth and dry to the
touch, so that dust, if it gathers upon them,
does not adhere to them, but may be re-
moved by fine brush, or may be washed
off with a soft sponge and cold water,
either with, or better, without soap, Warm
or hot water makes them adhesive, melts
the parafin, exposes the pores Of the plas-
ter, and causes dirt to sink into the surface
in patches or streaks. Any exposure to
undue fire heat or solar heat also affects
them injuriously, and, of necessity, oily
busters or greasy fingers will soil them.
With care, however, they may be kept,
even in London houses, without the hideous
covering of glass shade. This process of
parattining castssappears to be admirably
suited for works intended for public exhibi-
ton, which are necessarily subjected to the
influence of many atmospheric impurities
1t not only enables them to be preserved in
a comparatively clean state, but it substi-
tutes for the dull, cold and CHASTITY white
ness OF the raw plaster an agreeable hue,
substance and surface. The suggestion of
this use OF parafin was made by Professor
Marshall. and it has been practically tested
by Mr. Thornycroft and his son.
