J A Fatal Dream.

A young man named John O'Neil, an
employee OF the Joliet Iron and Steel
Company, had a serious nightmare. He
went home from work at 1 O'Clock in
the morning and retired to rest. Soon
after he got up aud jumped out Of the
window, ana Afell 10 feet on pile of
stones, bruising himself externally and
Internally. The cause OF the dream,
as heasserts, was as follows: He and
several others had 'beentliscussing what
they would do in case Of railway col
lision such as the one on the Alton road.
His idea was to jump out of the car
window. When he went to sleep he
commenced dreaming, and imagined he
was OH train about to collide, and, to
save himself, he jumped out of the win
dow. His recovefyls considered doubt

PLANT A HOME.
MRS. NJ. A. KIDDER.

Young beginners in life S morning
Don't forget the rainy day;
Sunshine cannot last forever,
Or the heart be always gay.
Save the dime, and then the dollar,
Lay up something as you roam
Choose some blooming spot of beauty,
Some fair lot, and plant u home"
You, too, who have babes around you,
Coming up to take your place,
Give them something to remember
Homestead memories let them trace
Would you feel the pride OF manhood,
Let the sun yonr dwelling greet
Breathe the blessed air OF freedom,
own the soil beneath your feet.
You, too, who perhaps have squaHdered
Lifc's fair morn--'tis not too late!
Start at once to WOO bright Fortune,
Rail no more at so-called .'Fate."
Sow the golden seeds of saving
In the rich and quickening loan;
Spend your last days not with strangers,
Enter Hea7en's gate from -home"

Maxims for Anglers.

-
One of the wittiest, merriest and most
entertaining of flwriters on the subject
of angling was a "brotlrer called Penn
not much known to fame, but undis-
puted authority among the glens where
he ruled skiing o'fishers and wales o. guild
men," He says:
LFirst-Finds out il there are any fish
in, the river to which you are going; If
so, get some one who knows the water
to show You where the fish lie; and
when he shows them toyou, don't you
show yourself to them. Gonna
Second--Don't imagine, if -the-fish
does not dart away, that he has not seen
You; orlthe. contrary, he is very likely
deveting his whole attention to you,
and preparing to start the moment dan
geri is imminent. =
cThird--H you are fishing with a fly,
and you pass it neatly three times over
him, and he refuses it, you need net
wait any longer; he has seen your line
ofinvitation, and does not intend to
come.
Fourth-If you are above fish when
you-hook him, get below him as soon as
you can; for ii you pull him one in
slant against the stream and he is a
heavy fish, be will break his hold
Fifth-Neyer throw along line when
short one win answer.
Sixth Never mind what's said about
"playiug your fish till he is tired !" put
him in your basket as soon as you can.
Seventh-ncmembe that everything
depends upon the way you begin your
acquaintance. 1t you can prevail a
fish to go down the stream a little way
with you, you u5will afterwards have no
difficulty in. persuading him to let you
have the pleasure Of seeing him to din
ner. -
To these excellent maxims beg leave
to add one of Mr.. Stoddart's, especially
intended for bachelors, young and old
Never fall in love with woman by
the water side; there are situations in
which every woman looks like an an
GEL"
In conclusion, hope all true broth
ers of the angle may never lack, in its
season. that dish of trout which good

There is no accounting for a woman's
wrath. A man in Albany recently
plunged into the river to save lady
who was drowning, and she got as mad
as an old hen because lie pulled her
chignon off in getting her out. The
probability is that man won't make u
"human society" of himself again right
away.

Eli Perkins Becomes a Bal
1oonatic.

To the Managers of the Daily Graphic.
GENTLEMEN: 1 received your note
this morning, inviting me to go up in
the balloon. You say that you desire
me to go as the representative of the
Duly Graphic-to be the official historian
of the first great aereal voyage across
the Atlantic.
l thank you gentlemen, for your fiat
tering invitation, which herein accept.
don't know what have done, or why
you single ME out and invite me to go
up and improve my condition. How
ever, 1 will make positive arrangements
to go up in your balloon after the 10th
of September. have consulted with
many of my friends here, and they all
advise me to go. OF course it makes
them feel sad, butehey are glad to make
the sacrifice-glad to contribute the life
of one they love so well to the cause of
science. My uncle, Consider, says the
sadness of my fixed departure would be
somewhat alleviated if he could only be
assured that would never return.
You ask me what desire to take as
luggage, offering me any space which
may desire. First of all, should like
to take several Saratoga young ladies.
They like to take great deal of room,
but 1 assure you they are very light.
They are anything but solid young Ia
dies. In case the balloon is too heavy,
the young ladies are willing to be
as ballast. is thought that they
would float away very gracefully.
Twelve young ladies here to-day, with
Worth dresses and hair put up i" "hard-
soap scollops," only weighed ninety
eight pounds.
I should like also to take my horse
and dOg-cart- We may land miles from
any street cars and out of the sight of
any omnibus, besides, it will be nicer to
drive into town IN style anyway.
+ should also like to take up a watch
dog, and a double-barreled SHOTGUN, to
be used in case Mr.. Wise and 1 don't
agree about meals served at the table or
to prevent my being called too early in
the morning. My theory-is to ascend
about two miles, and then go straight
across to Buckingham Palace, and put
mp with Mr.. Buckingham one night, and
then go to Canton. In case consider
ed it dangerous or disagreeable 10 ride
in the air, should instruct Mr. Wise and
the boys to strap the balloon to the deck
of a steamer or lace it tight, if the ladies
did not object, to train of ears. Borne
along at the rate Of twenty miles an
hour on a freight car, Mr.. Wise could
have ample opportunity to make his ex-
periments with air currents and-toll-
gates and things. really believe that
the safest way to do is to all get in the
balloon, put it on a clipper ship, and
let the wind blow us any where except
over the large islands or continents.
IF everything is satisfactory, and you
will send me few thousand dollars to
buy champagne and cigars, and breast
pins, and a loaf or two of bread-an ab-
solute necessity, you know, when you
are going to travel-if you will do all
this, I'll take your money now, and say
ing, "May Heaven bless your great en-
terprise," put it in my pocket, where
you will always know where it is.
Yours sure,
ELI PERKINS.

The state Levy and Assess

We stated some days since that the
STATE Board of Equalization had do.
frcased the State levy for taxation
I am two and 0ne-half mills To two
.nills, and In consequences the taxes
rir State purposes would he reduced.
SOME Of the Democratic papers are
Tying to create the impression that
ne reduction uf the levy will not re-.
d'ne the taxes but increase them on
account Of an increase In the assessed
saluai'on Of property IN the State.
.nis Is wholly untrue, rs the follow
i''g figures will show: In 1879 the
l'vy WAS "a mills and the equalized
,ni'iation for 1871, S3is, 6l2, 129. On
sAis tie State tax for 1872 amounted
- ~ i,59lts. The equaiized valua-
ION for 1873, az returned by the
Hnarh exclusive Of railroad property
which was otherwise returned in
Z 3Ii~2i IL S3io, 493, 9SS. The levy on
~ beng z mills, the tex for State
.,arposes will amount to $500, 9SG o..
,Inas il will he seen from the above
ig..t the assessment for 1871 is 50, 49,

The Democratic party Is founder
ing around, az usual, for some policy
thit will command the confidence Of
the people For the past fifteen
wears ii has been engaged In the
same business, but every policy 1t
SEXES upon carries it lower and low
or in public estimation. The nearer
il approaches Republican principles
the nearer it comes 10 total extilic-
ton II lis policy is To be the policy
SO long adhered To by its opponents,
how can it justify It's former oppo.i-
ton or make the dear people believe
that It's present professions are hon
est? If the principles Of the Repnb-
licap party are right, and deemed Of
sufficient Importance to incorporate
into the Democratic platform, why
should the old party that has been
loyal TO these principles give way to
party that has been hostile TO them
for years past? The nearer the
Democratic party comes to the poll
cy of the Republican party, the less
reason can il show for seeking the
defeat Of the grand old party Of hui
man rights. The sooner the empty
shell of Democracy Is buried from
sight, and the loyal material which
still clings to the name becomes in
corporated in the Republican party,
the better it will be for the interest
Of the natio,. We respect the spirit
which prompts a man TO stick to "A
sinking ship AS long rs there Is rea-
sonable hope Of saving the vessel or
cargo. But when the old hulk be-
comes water-logged, and n friendly
ship bears down To upon IL to rescue
| it's helpeless passengers and crew, II
is sheer folly to insist on being strap
ped to the pumps and going down
with the old wreck. Come gentle
men cease this foolish effort to gall
vaniZe the Democracy into new life.
| A new name cannot restore it any
more than a coat OF paint can make a
rotten plank sound. The people have
no objection to The name, but they
have healthy aversion to the mate
rial which it represents. Changing
the name canDOt deceive the people.
| They know all about democracy; all
about its past glory and It's present
shame. They have had enough OF il
and don't want any more for the
next century at least. The time may
come when the Republican party
will take II back seat in the Govern
ment Of the nation, but not until
some nobler party comes forward to
relieve il. The elements Of reform,
progress, morality and patriotism
are with the party to-day. The peo-
pie know this, and for this reason
they endorse tie party rs the very
best that offers peace and security to
the nation. - The Repubiic.

Poverty puts a fearful strain on q
mans honesty. The poor man who
lives an honest life identified TO more
credit than man OF wealth. The
one is forced TO fight against tempta-
zion, which comes to him under the
gui3e Of want or necessity; the other
has no motive except greed or ainbi-
ton 10 tempt him from the path Of
rcctjtule. Yet when the poor man
sin, against the laws Of the land no"
few sympat,ize with him, or seek to
shield him from the penalty incur
red. He has no friends, and the
heaviest punishments that can be in
f,icted il considered light enough for
him. When the prison doors close
behind him, hope is shut out forever,
for he knows that the pardoDlng
power will never be asked to inter
fere in his behalf. But the rich Grim
iual is looked upon as simply unlor-
tunate; he is liunized. Justice bows
in his presence and seems 10 ak his
pardon for the unpleasant relation
which it bears towards him. II he

assurances that his confinement will
be short; and soon he walks forth,

This is wrong. If any distinction Is
made in the treatment OF criminals,
we would favor leniency to the poor
and severity to the rich. The one
may have been driven to the COM
missions Of crime by cruel want; the
other has 40 reasonable excuse. As
"poor Richard" says, us hard to
make an empty sack stand upright"
This describes the condition Of Il poor
man perfectly. An empty stomach,
n starving family, q forlorn garrett or
cellar, are serious obstacles to perfect
integrity. If we would repress crime
among the poor, we must first seek
10 better their condition; afford
thcm'means of obtaining au honest
living, and few will prefer from
choice to seek dishonest one. The
poor man should receive good wages
for his labor, aud should not be
robbed, as too many now are, by the
wealthy and avaricious. We believe

found among the poor of the land

Chairman Of the Democratic Central
Committee, who announced that he

that the Democratic party was dead.
