An UnIucky Dream.

An Iowa raftsman had bad fall from
hotel window in Davenport the other
night, and afterward explained the ac,
cident to his physician. He said that
his name was John Fett, his residence
being Franklin, Lee county, where his
hroteer and mother reside. For fifteen
years he has been a raft pilot on the
Mississippi. Tuesday evening he ar
rived with raft, and took rooms in
the Mississippi House, where he had
frequently stopped before. He took q
drink or two before going to bed, and
lay upon the couch with his clothes on.
After midnight he had terrible dream.
He said he thought he was guiding a
raft on the rapids in the midst of an
awful storm, and at last the strings
were caught by whirlwind and scat:

He himself was hanging to single log
which was rolling and pitching on the
waves so that he could hardly maintain
his grasp. At last his hands and arms
became too tired to hold on longer, and
he let go. Down he sank, in water one
hundred feet deep, but offering nc
more resistance to his descent than all
would, and he struck the bottom with
force which Jared him almost tc
pieces. Then he aweke He could not
at first tell where he was, but his whole
frame seemed to be twisted and broker,
and he was in tortvre. He soon realized
his situation, and he knew that he had
fallen from the window. He cried foI
help, but no one came to his relief, and
there he law until after daylight, when
a policeman arrived. Examination al
the hospital proved that the poor maj
was fatally injured. -Four of his ribs
were broken, and his spine was frac

A Profitable Exchange,

The following interesting adventure
in the life of hero of novel will be
found interesting: Going down st.
James street in London one evening
with person who had treated him with
much civility, he is run violently against
by an accompllce of his companion,
knocked down and robbed of his money.
His "civil" friend leaves him in the
lurch, and seeks his lodgings, there be-
ing no remedy for his loss.
To divert his mind. he repairs to the
theatre, and takes his stand among the
crowd which surrounds the entrance.
He observes that the people about him
seem watchful of each other; and
presently the cry Of "Take care of your
pockets /" renews his fears, and putting
his hand to his fob he misses his watch!
Looking eagerly around he fixed his
eve upon his quondam friend, who has
aided in robbing him. He goes on to
say; v,u
have stolen my watch, said I. He
could not Immediately escape, and
made no reply, but turned pale, looked
at me as if entreating silence and COM
miseration, and put watch into my
hand. I felt a momentary compassion,
and he presently made his retreat.
His retiring did but increase the press
of the crowd, so that it was impossible
for me so much as to lift up my arm. I
therefore continued, as the safest way,
to hold the watch in my hand. Soon
afterward the door opened, and L hur-
ried it into my waistcoat pocket /; for |
was obliged to make the best use OF all
nv limbs, that 1 might not be thrown
down and trodden under foot. At
length, after very uncommon struggles,
made my way to the money door,
paid aud entered the pit. After taking
breath and gazing around me. I sat
down and inquired of my neighbors
how soon the play would begin! 1
was told in an hour. This new delay
occasioned me to put my hand in my
pocket and take ont my watch, which,
as I supposed, had been returned by
the thief. But, good Heavens what
was my surprise, when, in lieu of my
own plain watch, in green shagreen
case, the one I was now possessed of
was set round with diamonds And, in
stead of ordinary steel and brass, its
appendages were weighty gold chain
and seals My astonishment was great
beyond expression! I opened it to
examine the works, and found it was
capped. pressed upon the nut and it
Immediately struck the hour. 1t was a
repeater I"
Think of that position, for an honest
man, with the detecting proof of his
evident guilt ringing in his pocket.

WOrking.Women In Vienna.

A correspondent writes from Vienna
that nearly every women and girl, both
of the wages and middle classes, work
and earn their own living. Passing
along the street." he observes, " it has
not been my lot yet to sec lady or
gill leaning idly from the windows, or
sitting within istlessly perusing some
novel or other, as we so often see in the
cities at home. On the contrary, they
are all busy at something from morning
until night. At every turn 1 find lady
clerks, store-women, cashiers, women
IN restaurants, women everywhere, right
down to cleaning boots on the public
streets and they all work for very
little, yet seem blithe and cherry, come
ly and content. Women who labor on
the buildings are generally of the
peasantry class.
They are dressed in costumes half
manly, half womanly, with colored
handkerchiefs tied over their heads as
covering; they get paid the same as
the Slomacks-the men laborers-from
ninety kreutzers as cents) up to one
forin and ten kreutzers (55 cents) for a
day of eleven hours, commencing work
at A. NJ, taking one hour at noon for
dinner, then working on and quitting
at 6 P. NJ. They are allowed to stand
up during the working hours and take
lunch and a drink, which they do,
taking the latter with as much gusto as
the fondest lover of lager beer. On
Sunday you should see them dressed.
Bright red handkerchiefs on their heads,
tied under their chins, one end hanging
away down their backs faces as clean
as soapand water will make them clean,
stiff starchcd, but short cotton dresses,
worsted stockings, and strong brogans,
leaning upon the arm of some private
of the Austro- Hungarian army, or sit
ting with their male comrades in some
one of the many beer gardens where
the people mostly congregate on Sun
days and holidays"

A Hard Case.

A lawyer was recently arraigned be.
fore the Court of Queens Bench,
charged with malpractice.
1t was a very painful case. The at:
torney was in partnership with his
brother, who, he found, had misappro.
priated two sums of money-one of f50C
and another of 91,0O0, belonging to O
client. The choice, when he ascertained
this unwelcome fact, lay between de.
nouncing his brother as thief and
running the firm, on the one hand, and
incurring the responsibility of conceal
ing the truth from the client concerned,
on the other.
He concluded to conceal it, and paid
the client the interest on the amount,
hoping one day to make the principal
good.
But the brother absconded; the de.
falcation became known, and the unfor'
tunate and unhappy attorney was sum
moned to answer before the court.
The court, in giving judgment, spoke
feelingly of the terrible nature of the
temptation to shield brother under
which the fault had been committed, OF
the suffering which the attorney had un'
dergone, and of the utter ruin which
had been brought upon him by his
brothers delinquencies. Still, for the
protection of suitors, q punishment
must be inflicted; and the sentence was
that the attorney be suspended from
practice for nine months.

Another Step.

The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany has with characteristic energy
taken another important step in the
prosecution of its great undertaking.
The camp-fres of the Stanley Expedi-
tion will hardly die out in Dakota, be-
fore those of the construction corps will
be burning. The Company on the 18th
inst, advertises for contracts to grade
and bridge the line between the Mis-
souri, River and the Yellowstone, dis
tapce of 205 miles, through the coun-
try which the expedition has just now
passed; or rather the located line is
some 80 miles north of the route pur-
sued by Stanley, avoiding the bad lands
through which he passed, and travers-
ing rolling prairie region, we'll water
ed and covered with the rich buffalo
grass, which affords the finest pastur-
age. The success attained by the En-
gineers of the Company in finding SO
good line through what has been re-
garded as one of the most difficult sec
tions of the whole route, must afford
satisfaction to all interested in this
great National thoroughfare.

DESTRUCTION IN DIsGU1sE.-It is a

More drunkards have been made by
these villainous concoctions, labelled

Took Refuge In a Log,

The romancer of the Detroit Press
talks as follows: GA Detroiter named
Andrew Steadman who buys cattle, deals
in hides, and occasionally makes dol
lar by buying and selling produce, went
on to Nankin Township few days ago
to buy a span Of heavy horses which
were wanted by firm in the city. Upon
reaching the farmers house he found
that the man was working with neigh
Dor mile away. To save the distance
he cut across lots, but was warned be-
fore he started to look out for a savage
bovine which had the run of ten-acre
field. Thinking how he was going to
get that span of horses for $50 less than
their value, Steadman kept plodding
through the field, which had a strip of
bushes two or three rods wide running
half way across it. There were a few
stumps and logs, one small tree, but
nothing which prevented any one from
crossing the strip. The Detroiter was
about ten rods from the bushes when he
heard q distant thunder sound and
looked around to see from which way
the shower was coming. About thirty
rods away he beheld the old bovine com
ing for him, head down, back up, and
eyes blazing. Steadman was satisfied
he was the man who was wanted, and he
went for the bushes. He thought the
bull would stop and run around the
strip, and was startled when the old fell
low dashed through them on his trail,
uttering deep 'buom 7 every instant.
Steadman lodges this way and that, but
the bovine tore along after him, smash
ing bushes aud leaping logs, and it was
getting &c be a red-hot affair when the
m1n spied the open end of a large hol-
low log. The bull was not over forty
feet behind, and into the log went
Steadman, finding an orifice about
twelve feet long, and large enough to be
roomy. THE bovine had seen the move
ment, and stopped at the log and ripped
off bushel of bark at the first dash.
Then putting his horns under it he gave
it roll, and Steadman spun around
like dried pea in a policeman's whis-
tie. The log was large, but old and
tender, and every time the bull hauled
back and jumped for it he covered him
self with glory and clouds of bark and
wood. Sometimes he whirled one end,
add then he gave the centre a heave,
and then he knocked foot off the other
end. Steadman swore, shrieked and
pleaded, his eyes full OF bark and his
mouth stopped up, and every act of his
life passed before him like a vision.
'W-o-o-h!w-h-o- o-hIbellowed the bovine
as he slammed away at the log, ard
every moment Steadman expected to
see the roof cave in on him. He was in
despair, when he heard the barking of
dogs and the shouts of men, and after
few minutes the farmers succeeded in
releasing him, but it took a good hour
to get the kinks out OF his back and the
rotten wood from his ears and eyes.
