About Dreams.

If you dream that black cat with white
feet and seven yellow rings around his
tail, is sitting on the meeting house
steeple, it is sign that you will marry
within year, if single, and that your
wife, if you are married, contemplates
clipping with the hired man.
If you dream that you see white
cat sitting on a coffin, and a white horse
is galloping around in circle, and a
white flag is waving in the air, there
will be sickness in the family probably
your wife and you will do more gallop-
ing around and waving before she is
well than you ever thought of.
If a married woman dreams of follow
ing a blue horse down hill, and she
comes to spring of muddy water, and
sees a snake in it, some one is going to
make her feel bad. The widow Skin
ner will probably start q story that the
dreamer needn't stick her nose up over
other folks, as her father was once con-
victed of stealing saw-logs.
To dream of seeing a crowd of angels,
and hearing blissful music, and of pluck
ing golden apples from silver trees, is a
sign that your mother-in-law is coming
to visit you, and all the angels and
golden apples you see after she gets there,
can be put in you left eye.-M. quad.

Propagation Of Cholera.

M. Teller, one of the most acute OF
French observers, adopts the theory OF
the propagation of cholera by invisible
germs conveyed in the air or in water.
He places no great reliance upon the
effect of antiseptics upon the air itself,
their action being, to say the least,
doubtful and, moreover, he considers
the action of the germs unavoidably
taken in respiration as comparatively
innocuous, because those taken into the
lungs do not reach the intestines, and
because such as are thus swallowed, be-
ing taken as 1t were in small quantity
at a time, the vitality of the system is
able to resist their action, in like man.
ner as it overcomes the action of poison
taken in insignificant doses. M. Teller
thinks that it is by introduction of the
germs into the alimentary canal, where
they find conditions altogether favor
able for their rapid multiplication and
development, that the disease is most
frequently and most fatally communi-
Gated. He cites fruits as being especial
ly calculated, some by their downy COW
ering, as the apricot or the peach, 9TH
ers by the gummy or glutinous coating
which most of them possess, to arrest
and retain the germs carried by the air.
Fruit should, therefore, be carefully
washed, or the skins removed, In times
of epidemic cholera.

"The First Lady OF the Land.v

In Cincinnati they tell little story
about Mrs. Chief-J Justice Waite. About
a month ago, before Gen. Grant had
preached Mr.. Waite's name to the Sem
ate-though Gen. Hillyer says Mr..
Waite was always Gen. Grants first
choice-bnt before anything was thought
of the matter by the Waites, Mrs.
Waite wrote an article on cookery for
the Cincinnati Gazette. The article
was signed Yankee Cook Girl" 1t
was full of sound suggestions on the
cookery question, and replete with
good advice to housekeepers. The ar
ticle from the Yankee Cook Girl" ar
rested SO much attention that finally a
rich old widower in Cincinnati wrote TO
Sam. Reed, the editor, that he would
be glad to give the yankee Cook
Girl q situation-not as servant,
but she might preside over his house
hold. In fact he offered marriage.
Mr.. Reed had to answer in paragraph
that the Yankee Cook Girl" was not
in the market, she having got situa-
ton in neighboring city. The people
of Cincinnati don't know even now that
the Yankee Cook Girl' was Mrs. Waite,
the sensible and practical wife of the
new Chief-J Justice, and that her new
situation is to be the highest in the
land-chief mistress in Uncle Sam S
household and law justice.

Legacy.

Several years ago widow lady, adj
vanced in years, and residing in Des
Moines, wrote to two of her nieces
residing in the East, asking them TO
come to Des Moines and live with her,
the consideration being that when the
old lady died she would will her proper
ty to her nieces. AS she was wealthy
the consideration was ample, but the
young ladies didn't like to leave their
own home and declined accepting the
offer. They requested her to remove
from Des Moines to their house. She
refused to do so and evidently was not
well pleased at their declination. Ac-
cordingly she went to live with a poor,
Woodworking, honest mechanic in this
city who occupied one of her houses.
With his family she found pleasant
home for several years.
A few days since the lady died, and
just before her decease an attorney was
summoned, who drafted will by which
her kind hearted host acquires ten
thousand dollars in money, notes and
mortgages, and his wife is made heir to
the home they had all occupied. Billy
Riddle has found out that it pays to be
generous and hospitable. MoineS

President Grants Real Estate.

Washington Cor. Troy Times.l
The President has just bought large
lot in the northwestern part of the city
for his future town residence. He pays
500, 900 for 10, 600 feet, and the house is
to cost with the lot near 100000. 1t
is understood that the President, when
he is released from official duties, will
divide his time between his three resi-
dences-on the st. Louis farm, at the
sea-shore at Long Branch, and in
Washington. He will retire from pub
lie life in very comfortable circum-
stances. He has been, since he entered
the army, in 1861, one of the luckiest of
men. am told by those who know the
facts and are competent to Judge in
such matters, that Gen. Grants invest
ments have all been made with great
wisdom, with the sole exception of the
small venture in the "Seneca Stone
Company, and even that concern is
looking up of late. His investments
here, at Long Branch, and especially
near st. Louis, have turned out we'll.
st. Louis people say that his farm in
that vicinity will alone make him a
large fortune, so rapid is the increase
in its value.

killing OF Steve Lowery.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from Moss Neck Depot,
Robson county, n. c., gives the fol-
lowing account of the shooting of the
last of the notorious band of Scuffletown
outlaws. Thomas Dutton, David Hol-
combe and Mcneil Patterson, three
young farmers, fired the shots that rid
the community of this terrible bandit,
for which they receive reward of
$4,000
The three young men above men,
toned had been out searching for the
outlaw for several weeks past. They
were on this mission together on Sun
day, and about midnight approached a
whisky camp on McNair's place, where
there were two wagons containing
whisky and tobacco, belonging to a man
named Burns, of Randolph county.
Here there was quite crowd of negroes
and few white men drinking AMI ca
rousing together. Among the number
was Steve Lowery, who seemed to have
been imbibing pretty freely. The young
men approached the outlaw and began
to converse with him. He made many
boasts of what he had done and what
he could do, and said that he could show
more gold than any other man In Robe
son county.
After while the young men arose
and bade Steve good night, saying that
they were going home. After getting
well out of the range of the camp, how
ever, they made detour and crept up
to within twenty yards of where the
outlaw laid. Here they remained quiet
for long time, waiting for shot, but
were deferred for more than an hour by
the fact that there were others near him.
Finally they all separated, and Steve
picked up a banjo and began trhum-
ming on it for the amusement of his
friends. One colored individual kept
naer to him, but the young men were
determined not to lose this opportunity,
and so at given signal they all three
fired.
There was but one report from the
three guns. The outlaw jumped from
his seat and Immediately fell to the
ground dead. The negro who was near
him had his ears slightly scratched by
the shot, but was reJoiced to find that
he was not killed. The young men then
reloaded their guns and advanced to the
dead body, which they secured and
bore away. A cart was hired and the
body placed on it and taken to Lumber
ton. 1t was then taken to the Court
House and placed on table in the Sher-
ifs Office
Immediately there was a wild COM
motion in the town, and the streets
were soon filed with an excited crowd
discussing the tragedy, and all rejoicing
that the last of the outlaws had been
killed. The body was perfectly riddled
with balls and buckshot. The head was
perforated in several places, and there
were three large wounds in the heart,
any one of which would have proved
fatal.
The outlaw was armed to the teeth,
there being found on his person when he
was killed, Henry rifle, three pistols
and knife with blade about twelve
inches in length. He was about % or 20
years of age. Like all the rest of the
outlaws, his earthly career has been cut
short before he had reached the prime
of life. He is said to have been the
most eowardly, and at the same time
the most treacherous and vindictive, of
them all

Beauty Of Old PeOple.

Men and women make their own
beauty or their own ugliness. Lord
Lytton speaks of a man "who was
uglier than he had any business to be y
and, if he could but read it, every
human being carries his life in his face,
and is good looking or the reverse, as
that life has been good or evil. On our
own features the fine chisel work of
thought and emotion are eternally at
work. Beauty is not the monopoly of
blooming young men and white and
pink maids. There is a slow-growing
beauty which only comes to perfection
IN old age. Grace belongs to no period
OF life, and goodness improves the longer
it exists.

To Whom America Is Indebted for the
Tomato.

Joseph Harrod, formerly of Portland,
Me-, now of New York State, claims to
have introduced the tomato into Amer
lea. The spot where he made his first
tomato hills is now covered by spacious
stores, and is opposite the new marble
postoffice in Portland The story runs
thus In 1916 Mr. Harrod had store
in Portland, with house and garden at
tached. In June, friend, who was a
ship-owner, gave him some tomato
("golden" or Glove" APPLE seeds,
which were brought in a vessel from
Cuba. They were planted in the ex-
pectation of seeing nice Towering
plant. Three years afterward he sent
some seeds to his father and others in
Haverhill, Mass. Two years later still,
one of these friends, Sheriff Bartlett,
wrote him, saying that the tomato was
good for salad, if cut up and dressed
like a cucumber.

follows of Leslie Coombs "Though
