A Strange Case.

Some time ago minister in Philadelphia
told us of most remarkable dream, that
had its verification in few hours. He
was preaching by special invitation to a
rural congregation in Maryland, and after
dinner retired to rest, but soon Joined his
friends in the parlor, looking sad and care
worn, and in answer to their inquiries, told
them he had just dreamed that a ministe-
rial brother who was that morning holding
services some six miles distant, appeared
to him remarking, 8" I am just two hours
dead" Scarcely had he finished the mar
ration of his dream, and while those pres
ent were discussing it's probable import, a
horseman stopped at the gate inquiring for
the minister, and on his appearing inform
ed him that the brother of whom he had
just dreamed had died about noon, and his
dying request was that his ministerial friend
should conduct his funeral obsequies.
We offer no comments on these strange
occurrences, and attempt no explanation.
We leave the psychologist to do that. Facts
like these are stubborn things, and fire.
quently upset our philosophy and put our
reason to shame. 1t will not do for us to
say we don't believe these things ever trans
pired, for we might multiply instances by
thousands Of similar character, that are
as well attested as any historical fact. We
must seek some other solution of the prob
lem.

Gbe Ginles, Mem Bloontfelo, 1)a,
Travelling In Japan.

OF all the modes of travelling in Japan,
the jin-riki-sha is the most pleasant. The
kago is excruciating. 1t is fiat basket,
swung on pole and carried OH the shoul-
ders of two men. If your neck does not
break, your feet go hopelessly to sleep.
Headaches seem to lodge somewhere in the
bamboos, to affiict every victim entrapped
in it. To ride in kago is as pleasant as
riding in a wash-tub or a coffin slung on
pole. In some mountain-passes, stout ma
tive porters carry you pickapack. Cross
ing the shallow rivers, you may sit upon
platform borne on mems shoulders as they
wade. Saddle-horses are not to be pub
licly hired, but pack-horses are pleasant
means of locomotion. These animals and
their leaders deserve whole chapter of
description for themselves. Fancy brass
bound peaked pack-saddle rising a foot
above the animals back, with the crupper-
strap slanting down to clasp the tail. The
oft-bandied slur, that in Japan everything
goes by contraries, has varnish of truth
on it when we notice that the most gor-
geous piece of Japanese saddlery is the crup-
per, which, even on a pack-horse, is paint
ed crimson and gilded gloriously. The
man who leads the horse is an animal that,
by long contact and companionship with
the quadruped, has grown to resemble him
in disposition and ejaculation-at least, the
equine and the human seems to harmonic

panese, ''horse-side.' He is dressed in straw
sandals and the universally worn kimono,
or blue cotton wrapper-like dress, which is
totally untitled for work of any kind, and
which makes the slovens of Japan-a rath-
er numerous class-always look as if they
had just got out of bed At his waist is
the usual girdle, from which hangs the in
evitable bamboo -and-brass pipe, the bowl
of which holds but pellet of the mild fine
cut tobacco Of the country. The pipe-case
is connected with tobacco-pouch, in which
are also flint, steel, and tinder. All these
are suspended by a cord, fastened to a
wooden or ivory button, which is tucked
up through the belt. On his head, cover
ing his shaven mid-scalp and right-angled
top-knot, is blue cotton rag-not hand
kerchief, since such an article in Japan is
always made of paper. The head-gear is
usually fastened over the head by twisting
the ends under the nose. With rope six
feet long he leads his horse, which trusts SO
implicitly to its masters guidance that we
suspect the prevalence of blindness among
japanese pack-horses arises from sheer
lack Of the exercise of their eyesight. These
unkempt brutes are strangers to currycombs
and brushes, though semi-monthly scrub.
bing in hot water keeps them tolerably
clean. Their shoes are curiosity the
hoofs are not shod with iron, but with straw
sandals, tied on thrice or oftener, daily.
Grass is scarce in Japan, and oats are un.
known. The nags live on beans, barley,
and the stalks, leaves, and tops of succulent
plants, with only an occasional wisp of hay
or grass.

Dancing.

A man took his minister to task because
he had understood he was opposed to dane
ing. But his minister replied "I am
not 50 much opposed to people dancing as
am in favor of people attending to the
most important matters first. Secure the
salvation of your soul; become an earnest
devoted christian, and then dance as much
as you like"
This reminds us of the answer of pious
Calvinist to an Arminian who objected to
the perseverance of the saints. "IfI be-
lieved that doctrine" said he, "and were
sure were converted man, would take
my fill of sim" How much sin, replied
the other, "do you think 1t would take TO
fill a true christian to his own satisfac-
tion?"

GB- Minnesota is an awful cold place.
There was friend of mine out there last
winter; he went out to chase bear, but
the bear chased him. He wasn't afraid,
only he climbed a tree to get out of the way,
leaving his gun on the ground; the bear
longed for savory mess, and not knowing
that he chewed tobacco and drank rum he
did picket duty around that tree until my
friend drew forth his whiskey flask from
his breast, and poured it down on the gun.
The whiskey froze in one solid streak from
the flask to the gun, and my friend took
hold of the frozen streak of whiskey, and
drew his gun up hand over hand, and shot
the bear. For the truth of this refer you
to st. Paul-St. Paul, Minnesota.

A Medical Congress.

Bayard Tayloy, writing from vienna
under date Of May II, says: THE
third International Medical Congress
will be held in Vienna, beginning on
the S.h of September. The programme
has just appeared. The members OF
the Congress will be: First, the mem
bers OF the Executive Committee APP
pointed at the last Congress; second,
delegates from governments and from
universities, academies, unions and
hospitals; third, all physicians and
usturalists who notify to the President
on or before the opening day that they
desire to take partin the proceedings.
The Congress will be under the pro-
lection OF His ITighness, the Archduke
Reiner. ard the meetings will be held
in public. The Executive Committee
have agreed upon the following pro-
gramme Of subjects for discussion: The
vaccination question, the prostitution
question, the question of guarantees in
relation to cholera, the health OF cities,
suggestions concerning the preparation
OF au international pHarmacorGia, sug-
ces,iona in relation 70 the means oil
bringing about the greatest possible
uniformity in the granting OF diplomas
to PHYSICIANS. This programme is an
nounced thus in advance, in order that
reports upon the subjects named may
be prepared, to furnish a basis for the
discussions during the sittings OF the
Congress. These reports will be printed
and distributed among the members.
In addition TO the questions named IN
the programme, such others as are for
warded to the President before the,l5th

A large attendance OF the most eminent

informally by many physicians who
will take summer holiday this yeal
to visit Vienna, not by formally &C
credited delegations from our colleges
ard hospitals.

he was conversing with a few friends
touching his military experiences and
campaigns, when he said: "There is

many interesting episodes connected
with the war that the historians never
got hold OF. For instance there has
been a great deal said about the battle
of Winchester, q little affair in which

square fight, but do you know that bat
tie was fought on the strength of infor-

lady in the town of Winchester, and il

of Union young lsdy in Winchester

word to her. Her name was Miss
