A MUSICAL STUDENT.-A gentleman

The days went by, and Christmas came
bright and cold. BY special permission
of the matron, Johnny was carried into
the small rcccption-loom, and lay there
stretched out ON soft, low cot by tho
side of the table.
A tall evergreen tree stood in the mid
die of the room, with plenty of candles
on the boughs and while the rest of tho
little patients were Keeping Christmas
together, in the hospital wards, and find
ing that their tree was very full of pres
ents, Johnny was down below.
Mary and little Kate, clean and neatly
dressed, were at the table with them.
And there were the matron and resident
doctor, Ns well ms the two dodgers.
Some one else will have TO tell you, for
| cannot, how happily that day went by.
How Johnny and his sisters ate turkey
with cranberry sauce for the first time in
their lives. How the mince pic was par-
ticulnrly good, as even the matron and
doctor declared. How they spent tho
whole day telling stories and singing
songs for these three happy, cheerful
faces, whose only memories had been Of
| blows and Of love for each other. How
the doctor clappod our young medical
student on the back, and told him hc was
"a good fellow, sir - How Johnny and
Mary md Katie laughed until they cried;
and how, in the evening, the big tree was
all lighted up.
SO the two dodgers adopted these chill
drcn into their care that day, and called
! the doctor and matron to witness that
they intended TO help them on in tho
world as much rs possible. And when
they went home that night, their hearts
were full Of charity to all mankind, even to
tho lady who played upon the piano
and sang scales. And they unanimously
agreed that Christmas Day spent in
doing good was the happiest kind OF
celebration for when you make others
happy, you arc happy also yourself.
1t has been several years since that
time. Johnny's leg became perfectly
well, and he was SO patient during his
sickness rs to win the love Of all around
him.
Mary and Katie grew up to be pretty.
bright-eyed children, and were taken
from the Home into a pleasant family.
And / have never heard that either OF
the two dodgers grudgcd any of the time
or money spent in getting Johnny his
situation, where he could learn to read
and write, and could go on orronds, or
that they were Of the opinion that the lit
tie girls were trouble. And it mado
them faster friends as we'll as better men.

SO the handcart, followed by the ave.
struck crowd, went off To the station
house; and the two dodgers, leaving
Johnny helpless and sobbug in the car
riagc, went upstairs together, moved by
ono purpose took each of them child,
and brought it down.
That hacll-drivcr-a decent, respecta-

finally to one of those places of mercy, n
Children's Hospital. At last, carrying
Johnny carefully together, they reached
their final destination about ten o'clock.
They had had no supper, and had boen
SO absorbed in their occupation, that thoy
were very forgctiul of the fact. But now
they dismissed their driver, and walking
into the nearest restaurant, sat down III

GENERAL PRESS DIsPATcH.l

WASHINGTON, Monday, MAY To- io'-.
The President to-day transmitted TO the senate 'ne
correspondepce between the United states anu
Great Britain relative to the Treaty OF Wasmngton
accompaniea with q brief message. The envelope
bore the word confidential" short time al1er
the recepton of the documents the Senate went h'o
Executive session, when they were read IL appears
the design of the President was to ascer-
tam the views Of the Senate as to new
article to the Treaty withdrawing the
claims for consequential damages from the
American statement of the case with the provision
which is in substance that whenever England or tho
United States shall be at war and the other heu-
trail the beigerent will make no complaints Tor any
indirect remote or consequential injuries or losses
resulting from a failure to observe neutral du'es
AS it is known that Great Britain will agree 10 the
proposed new article and that both Governmentsare
anxious to save the Treaty by this means 1t was
thought proper to place the Senate In posses
sion of all the facts in order that the
Executive acting upon their advice, might
pursue the negotiation so to secure the consum-
nation of the Treaty in manner satisfactory 10 tne
two Governments There was brief debate after
the reading Of the documents, involving the merits
of tbe question motion was made to remove the
Injunction of secrecy but this failed. and the mes
sage and documents were then ordered to be printed
in confidence and referred to the Committee on
Foreign Relations There is scarcely question that
the Senate will advise the acceptance OF the addl-
tional article to the Treaty.

President LincOIn,s Dream.

An incident of the cabinet meeting
held the day before LincOln's assassin.
alton is thus related by eX-Secretary
Welles, in the April GALAXY:
''The President remarked that the
news would come soon and come fav.
oFably, he had no doubt, for he had
ldst night his usual dream which had
preceded nearly every important event
Of the war. Inquired the particulars
of this remarkable dream. He said
it was in my department lit related
TO the water; that he seemed to be in a
singular and indeseribable vessel, but
always the same, and that he was
moving with great rapidity toward q
dark and indefinite shore; and that he
had this singular dream preceding the
firing on Sumter, the battles of Bull
Run, Antieam, Gettysburg, Stone
River, Vieksburg, Wilmington" etc.
"Gen. Grant remarked with some
emphasis and asperity, that Stone
River was no victory; that a few more
such victories would have ruined the
country, and he knew ofno important
results froW Il.
'Hrhe President said that perhaps he
should not altogether agree with him,
but whatevery might be the facts, his
singular dream preceded that fight
Victory did not always follow his
dream, but the events and results were
important. He had no doubt that a
battle had taken place or was about
being fought, ana Johnston will be
beaten for 1 had this strange dream
again last night. 1t must relate to
Sherman; my thoughts are in that
direction, and I know Of no other
very important event which is likely
just now to occur
"Great events did indeed fellow.
"Within a few hours the good and
gentle, as well as truly great man
who narrsted bis dream was assassina-
ted, and the murder which closed for
ever hls earthly career affected for
years, and perhaps forever, the well
fare Of his country"
