The summary of results Of the ward elections for
deegates to the State Convention thus far, includ

Washburn delegates.
The Dniv Advertiser says:-s'Repubncan caucuses

organizations and where there was a reasonable

be, by the absence oil large number from town,

able to elect delegates in four Of the fifteen wards
Is under the circumstances, the best that could be
expected"
The Journal remarks:-''So far as this city Is
concerned the result does not come up to the
Butler anticipatlons. The authorities that side
had given out that they were perfectly sure of car
rying all but three wards, while they hoped to
make clean sweep OF the city delegation. To this
end they laid out their plans some time ago; laid
them skilfully and prosecuted them without the
least regard to expense or fairness"

PROFOUND SENSATION

Saturday, week ago. gentleman named Brown,
through Wooster Sherman, broker OF Nassau
street. endeavored to negotiate loan ON $4,000
OF New York Central bonds with Messrs Thomas
Denny Co., OF Jauncey court, Wall street. Upon
an examination OF one OF the bonds Mr. Denny at
once pronounced 1t a counterfeit, and notified De-
tective Sampson OF the circumstance and gave in
formation as to where the parties were probably
trying to sell the bonds at the time. In accordance
with this information Mr.. Sampson proceeded to the
ONCE OF Wooster Sherman, and there found q man
walking up and down in the hallway, evidently
very nervous and excited. Soon after Mr.. Sher-
man came In and handed this person q bond and
he the strangerl Immediately left The detective
followed and arrested him as he was going down
the stairs Upon being searched there was

tectives had meanwhile learned that the prisoner,
whose name Is Leonard Brown, had left two bonds
with Eddy b Co., for negotiation, and on proceed
ing there obtained them. The prisoner was then
taken to headquarters whore he stated that he was
broker, with his oiflce at No. ll3 broadway. He
claims that Charles ]. Williamson IL his principal,
and that he has had business with him for six
MONTHS and was merely

Since the arrest OF Brown large quantity of the
bogus bonds have been discovered and the num-

OF the prisoner, $40, 600; with one firm on Broad

$S2 600; making In all $4,000. The bonds forged
are OF such high character that there is nke-
hood OF larger amount than at present discovered
having been issued.

For the American
Dreams.

How many the disappointments ex-
perienccd from night of dreams.
Every one can testify that horrible
dream has often cast Il cloud OF gloom
over the ensuing twelve hours Of his
existence. and that a pleasant dream
has left AN impression on his mind that
has given him Il day Of real pleasure.
Yet who can satisfactorily account
for these nightly visitors. 1t /, quite
certain that they are intruders. for the
more active the dreams, the less re-
freshlng the sleep
The brain is so constituted that what
has once been seen or heard or other
wise perceived, makes an impression,
vivid at first, declining with time, but
probably necer completely dying out.
These impressions seem TO be stored
up in the brain, as truly as the heat
from the sun is stored up and packed
during our waking hours. while the
mind is constantly receiving new i'm
pressions from external sources, these
vestiges are overpowercd and cannot
attract the attention; but in sleep,
when outward impressions cease, they
emerge from oblivion, and the mint
submitting to the delusion, groups them
into the fantastic forms of dreams
The same thing also happens when the
brain is rendered insensiblc to outwar.i
impressions by disease or certain drugs,
such as opium.
But some dreams are real pictures
Of events and acts their arrangement
being as orderl y as q reality, but 9TH
ers are a mass Of confusion, involving
all kinds Of absurdities and incongru
tiles The anatomy of the brain read
lily explains this. Its two sides are so
distinct and Independent of each 9TH
er that they might be called two brains.
Each side is capable of independent
action, so that while one side is pursu-
ing one train Of thought the other side
may be pursuing another. So one may
think of two things at time but can
not think Of three because there are
not three hemispheres to the brain.
The eye may trace the printing on a
page and one side of the brain re-
ceive its contents, while the other is
thinking Of something entirely differ
ent. But for any powerful mental ef-
fort there must be . concerted action
Of the two sides. This concerted ac-
tion may be illustrated by the stere-
oscope. By looking through this ins:ru-
ment two fat pictures are merged in
one having the torn of solid so also
the Impressions or actions Of one side
Of the brain are quite as imperfect and
incomplete as the dat picture of q solid.
And probably our clear and orderly
dreams are the result of a concerted
action but the disorderly and discon-
nected dreams are owing to the alter
nate or antagonistic action of the
brains two hemispheres.
