IIoM Il Arose.

The disturbances between the whites
and negroes in Colorado county, Texas,
arose from o very trifing cause. A
deputy constable named j. r. Hone ar.
rested o freedman who was charged
with stealing n beef, and the prisoner
was rescued by another Of bis race.
The officer then got his revolver and
arrested the negro again, and in taking
him into custody he struck the freed
man who had interfered with tho pris-
oner on the head with his pistol, which
at the same time went OF. Tint night
q party Of unknown freedmen fred fif-
teen shots into The house Of tho officer,
but fortunately his family, apprehend.
ing danger, had left. The next night
two freedmen, who lived near the scene
Of the disturbance, were murdered by
some unknown persons while on their
way to Eagle Lake. This aroused the
whole colored population in that re.
gion, and some four hundred Of them
armed and marched on Eagle Lake with
the ayowed intention OF taking the
place! The persuasions Of the Sheriff
of colordo county, however, and The
knowledge that ono hundred armed
white men had come to tho assistance
Of the threateaed villagers, led them Ia
renounce thisintention but at the last
accounts there was IN extremely bittel
feeling existing between the two races
and fears were entertained Of serioui
trouble.

A Young Girl Dreams the Day and
Hour OF her Death.

The following remarkable story is
vouched for by no less q person than the
venerable Bishop OF Gloucester
Sir Charles Lee, by his first wife, had
only one daughter, Of which she died
in childbirth; and, when she was dead,
her sister, the Lady Eyerard, desired
to have the education Of the child, and
she was very well educated till she was
marriageable, and match was con-
cluded for her with Sir William Perkins,
but was prevented in a most extraord-
mary manner. Upon Thursday night,
she, thinking she saw light in her
chamber after she was in bed, knocked
for her maid, who presently came to
her, and she asked why candle was
left burning in her chamber. The
maid said she left none, and there was
none but what she brought with her ut
that time. Then she said it was the
fire but that, her maid told her, was
quite out, and she said she believed II
was only dream, whereupon she said
it might be SO, and composed herself
again 10 sleep. About two o'clock that
night she dreamed that little old
woman appeared before her and said
that she was her mother, that sho was
happy, and that by twelve o'clock that
day she should be with her, and then
tho old woman vanished.
The young lady Immediately awaken.
ing, looked at her watch and noted the
time, and then knocked again for her
maid, called for her clothes, and when
she was dressed, went into her closet,
and did not come out again till 0 o'clock.
Then she brought out letter which she
had written TO her father, handed it to
her aunt, the Lady Everard, told her
what had happened, and desired that as
soon as she was dead, it might be sent
to him. But her aunt thought TINT she
had suddenly lost her reason, and
theroupon Immediately sent to Chelms.
ford for physician and surgeon, who
soon after arrived but she could not
discern even the indication OF loss
OF reason, or Of any indisposition OF her
body. Tho young lady then desired
that the chaplain might be called to
read prayers, and when they wero over,
she took her guitar and sat down and
played, and sung 50 melodiously and
exquisitely, that her music master, who
was then there, marvelled greatly. AT
about the stroke OF twelve, she arose,
and, seating herself in the great arm
chair, gave q great gasp or two, and
Immediately expired, while the bell was
yet striking twelve. She grew SO sud-
denly cold, that the physician was ut
loss to account for IL. She died ut
Waltham, in Essex, three miles from
Chelmsford, and the letter sent to Sir
Charles at his house in Warkwichshire,
contained the full particulars Of his
daughters dream, which WAS so pain.

own request by the side Of her mother
at Edminton in the year Of 1862.

Inconrenlent Loyalty.

The Lovant Times narrates an extra
ordinary adventure Of Queen Olga OF
Greece, sister.in-law OF the Princess OF
Wales, resulting from the exuberant
loyalty OF the Hellenic colony at Galatz.
On passing that town on her way down
the Danube, deputation OF Hellenic
residents came on board the royal yacht
and begged her Majesty to land and
show herself to her loving subjects.
Giving her arm to the Grand Duke
Nicholas, the queen landed at the court
yard OF the Danube Steamship Compa.

ashore when sudden rush was made,
and she was separated from the Grand
Duke and forcibly carried by the surg
ing crowd out OF the yard into tho
street. Here their loyalty broke all
bounds, and laying hands on their SOY.
ereign's dress, they began to divide it
amongst them as relics. The queen,
however, did not lose her presence OF
mind, bnt forced her way into bakars
shop. As 1t was, her Majesty escaped
with her clothing in the same condition
rs that OF France at this moment, whose
mantle, according to NJ. Hugo's latest
rhapsody, has It's skirts torn OF. Her
Majesty was then escorted on board by
the gendarm0s, and had hardly placed
herself in the hands Of her Mistress oi
the Robes, when the cry was raised that
the hope Of tho Hellenes, Prince Con.
statine was missing. A seach was made,
and his Royal Highness was soon found
hoisted on the shoulders OF q stalwart
son Of Hellas, who had managed to slir
on board, and who was exhibiting the
little Prince to IN admiring crowd ol
his countrymen on shore.

Is not fashionable. Generally she Is
not rich. II you gain her love, your

when You come home that yosll think

Old Squire Gerrish, OF Newburyport,
is q genial soul who has q host OF legal
"reminiscences. An intimate friend OF
Webster, Edward Everett and Rufus
Choate, and law partner OF Caleb
Gushing, he had rare opportunity OF
collecting anecdotes and details that are
interestingnow. While connected with
Cushing, q time came when those two
Titans, Gushing and Choate, were on
opposite sides in an important suit. On
the day when the case was called the
courtroom was crowded. A battle be-
tween such men was novelty, even in
that epoch OF brains. To the amaze
ment Of judge, Jury audspectators, both
Gushing and Choate were somewhat
anxious for ''Continuance"-in other
words, for o postponement OF trial. As
q usual thing, beth gentlemen were al.
ways anxious to force case to trial, be.
ing in q state OF ''chronic preparation, !"
as Webster once said, in speaking Of
Choate. In going ont OF court, says
Mr.. Gerrish, I mots Choate, md said:
How is IL that you were ready for a
continuance to-day? 1t is little odd
Of you"
pressed with business and can afford to
let this case stand over"
Said I, "Choate, that is sheer mon.
sense. I'll tell you what the matter Is,
You are afraid Of Gushing.
$50 I am.n VIVA tho reply. ulnd I'm
not ashamed TO own it, either"
"Well, we'll, said ], "this is pretty
good. Tho ideaoi Rufus Choate fright
ened. What on Garth do you fear in
Cushing2"
"AIr. Gerrish, will tell you. 1 am
afraid Of his overwhelming knowledge
Of the law
In the afternoon Cushing came to the
Office. l went for him nj once. "Caleb,
what wasthe matter to-day why didn't
you insist on trying that case?"
"ohp he replied, "the weather il
warm, and we have much TO attend TO,
and I didn't care tohurry matters"
"Now, Gushing, be honest, were you
not little afraid Of Choate ?"
"Well, Gerrisll, to be candid about
II, I was. Are you satisfied nowp"
1 then inquired what he feared
Choate for. "Do you think" said I,
THAT lie knows any more law than you
dol"
{" No, sir, 1 don't" /" was the answer
''bnt I'm afraid o. the rascal's inierna1
influence with o Jury, right or wrong.
And there II was. The two men had
been so often associated that cncl
knew the others strong points and fell
timid.
