Across The ATLANTIC

DREAMING Across The ArLANrIc-A
TEr Casa young woman in this
city, Mrs. u. 81. R, dreamed, about
two months ago, that q little brother OF
hers, living in Clonfanlough, Kings
county, Ireland; had just been run
away with by horse whice he was
riding, and that his leg had been badly
crushed. A letter was subsequently,
received from Clonfanlongh which con-
frmed the young woman's dream in ev.
cry particular time included. the scene
being precisely as she had described it,
as shown in her dream. The question
Is, what power of the mind is it. OF
what power not of the mind, that can
thus fash across the Atlantic Ocean,
see what is actually happening to near
and dear ones in Europe, and leave the
impress Of the scene so clearly stamped
in the memory that the whole could be
told the next day. Is there anything
in spirituallsm more wonderful than
this,
On Sunday night last, October 25th,
Mrs. Il had another, and very viv-
ID dream, in which she seemed to sit by
fhe.. bedside of her little brother above
mentioned, who was dying; taking by
the hand those present in the room, and
bidding them farewell, he seemed to
pass away. The sleeper distinctly saw
the boys aunt enter the room, and
heard her ask anxiously of those about
the bed, "And is he dead!--and heard
her then utter piercing shrek and
saw her fall, on being told that all was
over. With that the sleeper herself ut
tered loud shrek, which awakened
her. She found herself out of bed, and
standing on the floor in the middle of
the room holding on to chair.
The truth or error of this dream re-
mains yet to be ascertained. We shall
report the result, whatever it proves to
be. Mrs. R is firmly convinced
that it is true, Meantime, it remains
an interesting question, what was the
mtelligence-what the power-which
enabled her to see the reality in dream

it loves you-unti1, when you go there,
the trees lay bare their shrines, and
bend and welcome you, until nature
herself perceives you and wants to be
the almoner of Gods bounty-that is
a pleasure which we cannot expect ey-
erybody to have.
The New York merchant has got to be
worth several hundred thousand dol
lars if he is going into the country to
live and be farmer. He buys a place,
anu look over to see what he does
with it. He has been reading books
and taking advice from men, and he
begins on to lay off his ground and
build fences, stone-walls, or hedges,
and he goes on to drain it and square, it
up and deepen it, and to buy manure
infinite and transport it without regard
to cost to enrich the whole soil, and he
builds fine barn, and then fine
house, and at last to slick up every
thing around him; and when he has
got to that point nature lets go of him,
and he yawns and begins to be restless,
for he has nothing more to do. The
fact is, he has been mechanical, and
the only thing in nature is that it gives
him something to do, and SO at last he
sells the place for about one-half what
he gave for it, and he goes back to the
city and says: "You tell me about
farming. I have tried that; 1 know
what that is" Laughter.1 In con-
clusion Mr.. Beecher spoke of the great
necessity that existed for a.. wider cul-
tivation of the various American trees,
and said that he thought that in this
direction this club might profitably
work.

What the Ohio Consfitutfonaf Con
vention Is Doing.

The changes from the present Consti
tuition are substantially as follows.
Eligibility to seat in the General As.
sembly is restricted, so that no person
interested in any contract with, or uu-
adjusted claim against the State can
hold seat in either House.
The veto power is given TO the Gov.
ernor, but three-fifths of all the mem
bers elected TO each House may over
come his veto. He may veto an item OF
items of appropriation bills, approving
the other part of the bill. effi
Any-membcr may demand that any ol
the items of an appropriation bill shall
be voted on by ayes and nays separately,
which ayes and nays shall be entered on
the journal, and every such item falling
to receive the vote of a majority of the
members elected to the House in which
the bill is pending, shall be stricken
therefrom.
No extra compensation shall be made
to any officer, public agent, employe or
contractor after the service shall have
been rendered, or the contract entered
into, nor shallany money be appropria-
ted or paid on any claim the subject
matter of which shall not have been
provided foI by pre-existing law, un-
less such compensation or claim be al
lowed by two-thirds of the members
elected to each branch of the General
Assembly All such allowances to be
made by bill, and no bill to contain
more than one class of compensation or
claims. i.I f-''
This is general prohibition against
conferring special powers or privileges
on any county, city, village, township
or other municipality that shall not
be conferred on others of the same
class.
Counties containing over one hundred
thousand inhabitants may be divided
under certain restrictions. E-
Members of the General Assembly
shall receive fixed salary, to be pre-
scribed by law and TO be ratably re-
duced for unnecessary absence during
the session.
The articles on county and township
organizations, and municipal corpora
tions are well under way and tend
strongly to protect the people against
the jobbery that too frequently has con-
trolled the public agents, managing the
affairs of our counties, townships, cities
and villages.
The changes made in these three arti-
cles are decidedly in conservative di-
rection and go long way toward weak
ening the influence of the lobby at the
capital of Ohio.

The Morton Platform.

The following are the essential points
of the new platform as enunciated in
the recent speech of Senator Morton,
advocating the regulation of railroads
by Congress-:
The power to regulate commerce in
wolves power to regulate means and
instrumentalities with which 1t is car
ried on.
The power to regulate commerce in
cludes the power to regulate the in
Istruments of commerce.
Railroad cOmpaniesInust accept their
franchises upon condition that If the
engage in their State commerce the,
will be subjected to the power vested
in Congress before any railroad was
granted. ioz. f7a
The extent and character of the DOW.
Ter Is left to the discretion of Congress,
Subject to the restrictions of the Con-
lstitutions, that they shall be of uniform
character, and no advantage shall be
shown to one State over another.
Though the Constitution says no
State shall pass a law impairing the
obligations of contracts, yet the con-
tracts involved in characters conferred
| by States are binding only as between
the States and the corporations, and
cannot limit the power of Congress.
A State can make no contract with
corporations which would restrain Con-
gress. however binding it might be on
the State.
A State cannot obstruct interstate
commeree by direct legislation or ex-
orbitant taxes on freight or passengers.
What the State may not do by direct
legislation it cannot by charter or con-
tract empower a corporation to do.
There is as much reason and necessity
for regulating commerce upon inter-
State railroads as upon navigable
waters.

Another Democratic Demiged
DethrOned.

IF there was any man in the Demo
cratic party who was regarded as above
suspicion, it was William s. Groesbeck
of Ohio. He aimed at the Presidency
and was not averse from taking the
GovernOrship of Ohio, last year, as g
first step toward the White House. He
was a Democratic pet, an itellectua
giant in Democratic estimation, and
the embodiment of all that your aver
age Democrat considers great and good
He was, besides, high-tOner-One o.
those intensely respectable gentlemen
to whom the people who are disgusted
with politics, generally, turn as theil
| ideal of what a man in public life
shoIld be.
Yet this intensely high-toned Demo.
cratic leader has just been detected in
an atteu ut to bribe the Councils of the
city in which he lives, and which once
honored him by sending him to Con-
gress; and he frankly acknowledges
that he plcced the sum of S25, 600 In the
hand Of an individual who was kind
enough to take off his hands the task
of corrupting the City Councils into the
purchase, for a park, of some property
in which Mr.. Groesbeck is interested.
OF Course, Mr.. Groesbeck says that he
did not give this large sum to be doled
out of COuncilmen at so much head,
and of course the recipient of the $25,
600 AYERS that he took it solely as the
price of his enormous influence with the
Councils; but if this individual had
their enormous influence with Councils,
which may well be doubted, what is
the moral difference between buying
him and his influence for $25, 200, and
expending the same sum in direct
bribes? We can see none. 1t was the
corrupt use of money, in either case,
for a corrupt purpose; and MIR. Groes-
beck stands revealed to-day, confessed
dealer in political debauchery.
The disgrace of this transaction is all
the greater from the character of the
men engaged in it. When men like
Mr.. Groesbeck descend openly to bri-
berity, and lend themselves vOluntari-
ly to the work of debauching the repre-
sentatives of the people, to promote
their own selfish ends, we may well
despair of the public virtue. The
moral tone of the community in which
he lives must have been vastly lower
ed, to render such thing possible, or
gTS6u lftS upIOOtOa OfOiy hiOio4 oOhst~
ment within him. 1t is to men with
his high reputation for talent, integrity
and uprightness, that the people look
for models of what public men should
be-. and when such men as he fall, his
fall destroys the very basis of public
confidence.
The receiver is as bad as the theft;
and the briber is as bad as the bribed.
In this case, worse. There is no evil
dence that anybody was bribed, detec-
ton having promptly followed the at
tempt; but the will to bribe, the pur-
pose to secure personal profit by the use
of money, was there in all its force
The end, with Mr.. Groesbeck, justified
the means and the greed of gain rem
dered him blind to the moral aspect of
the case. If Mr.. G. could be enriched,
at the expense of the taxpayers; by the
lavish expenditure of money, what
mattered it to him, that the very foun-
dations of society were sapped by the
act ?-Pitts6,gyh Commercial.
