i LORD v1VIAN's DREAM.
4 DFeam that Brought Good Luck
g to the Dre mef.

Inc most predominant and apparently
incongruous characteristics Of the gambler
are shrewdness and superstition, and the
aristocrat who ventures his money on the
speed Of one out Of score of horses Tor
more frequently upon the honesty or dis
honesty Of the trainers and riders of the
same), it will be seen by the story Of Lord
Vivan's dream, often is swayed by such
impulses as he afEecte to ridicule in his
humber brother gambler who buys lottery
tickets upon the inspiration derived from
hackney coach numbers or backs his fan
cy whose colors on the ''c'rect card' coin
eide with tho e Of the first bonnet he OBJ
served on his left turning down three cor
ners on the day Of the race. i
On the morning Of the city and subur-
dan day Of the recent EPSON spring meet
ing, Lord Vivian, a well known English turf
man, dreamed that he was accosted in the
weighing room on the course by friend,
Mr.. C. Samuda, who informed him that
the race had been fine one, the Teacher
having only won by neck. Lord Vivian
at breakfast looked through the betting
list, but saw no such name as Teacher in
the quotations, but on proceeding to the
Waterloo station the first person he met
was Mr.. .Lamuda-coincidence number one
who on being told Of the dream, said
that there was such horse among the
starters, Aldrich having originally been
named The Teacher "a neat piece Of no.
menclature, his sire being Lecturer), the
name being changed because it was already
borne by filly Of thesame age. Coinci-
dence number two still further impressed
Lord Vivian, who determined to put a
couple Of ponies-otherwise a century
upon the horse. The owner, Lord Rose
berry, nobleman very we'll and favorably
known in this country, endeavored to dis
suade him, telling him that Aldrich had
been badly beaten in his trials; SO Lord
Vivian only pached the horse for ESQ, the
market price being 1000 to ESQ. Sever
al other gentlemen backed the dream, no
tably Mr.. Somarville, the owner of one of
the favorites. The race was run. There
was nasty accident, the favorite (who
looked all over winner, fell and broke
his back, and several others, including
Mr.. Somarville's FLY, were ''disappoint-
ed" Aldrich won coincias2se se~.number

VALUABLE BooKs.-Mr. Wilson Guess
is canvassing this city for subscribers to
the following books:
"Manual of American Ideas" by
Caspar T. Hopkins, M. A. This book
is designed for the use of Schools, for
the instruction of Foreigners seeking
naturalization, and for the use of citi-
zens; and, in our opinion, is admirably
adapted to the purposes for which it
was designed. No school or family of
growing sons should be without it.

E. B. Duffey. This book treats of both
the moral and physical conditions of
women, and is replete with valuable in
