A QUEER CONTRACT.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat has the
following account of queer suit: can
Iowa laborer has sued an old farmer on
q rather queer contract The man hired
10 the farmer on the condition that part Of his
wages would be paid i'll money, and that
for the balance he should receive one of
the old mans daughters in marriage. The
labor was performed and the money was
paid,-.but the girl was not Forthcoming.
This va not the fault of the old man, but
of the daughter, who refused to be made
the subject of bargain and sale. Whereupon
the laborer sued the father upon the con-
tract, but we are not informed whether the
suit is for specific performance or for
damages. If for damages we apprehend
that the laborer has good cause for action,
though his damages must be small If pro.
nortioned to the value of an unwilling wife.
The great suit of Jacob vs. Laban list
Moses, 39), does not afford precedent, as
it was compromised by the parties, and it
seems that the legal talent of Iowa will be
forced to wrestle with new principle IN
jurisprudence. The case will probably be
left to a jury whose verdict will largely
depend upon the matrimonial experience Of
it's component parts"

FEROCITY OF WHITE MICE.

There is a cage containing four white
mice at the Delta saloon, Virginia, which
are quite study. After seeing their
maneuvers for an hour or two, one is not,
at all surprised at the racket made by mice
generally, for during the early part of the
evening they take constant and violent ex-
else. They consume great deal OF water,
taking drink every ten minutes or oftener.
1t would be supposed that such small
animal as a mouse would not be at all
ferocious and aggress:"e; lbut such appears
to be the case with the white species at
least. A chipmunk that was put into the
cage with those at tie Delta was attacked
by them all and ve:y quickly dispatched,
without one of the ice being injured in
the least by tho fortunate victim. A
gray mouse, which vas subsequently put
into the came Gag, was very roughly
handled, being attacked by two of the
white mice, who took hold of him like a
couple of bulldogs and repeated the at.
tack again and again, shaking him by the
throat and biting his legs and tail, the lat
ter being nearly se"ered from his body
Perhaps white mice |; e red ants are q par.
ticularly ferocious species of the genus tt
which they belong.

THE TELEGRAPH IN THE AFRICAN
DESERTS.

A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Berba, in tropical Africa
says: at was singular to meet with the
telegraph in the heart of the desert between
Aryab and Berba; not the telegraph put
up in working order, as we see it in Europe
but all the appurtenances Of that instrument,
of civilization carried on the backs of
hundreds Of camels, which, laden with coils
of wire and hollow iron posts, trod their
tosome path through the burning sand.
Every now and then we met one of these
DOOR beasts, which, overweighed and broken
down by the weight Of his load, had fallen
on the ground and been abandoned
victim to the vultures. All this tele-
graphic gear was marked 'Sicmcns Brothers,
London and was en- route to khhrtcum'
from which town it will be forwarded on
to span the desert between Kordofan and
Darfour. A good many lives will probably
be sacrificed before the line can be con-
sidered open, as the Arabs who eagerly
steal every piece Of iron they can meet
with for their spear points, have TO be very
severly punished before they leave off
cutting down the poles. However, this
difficulty once got over, the telegraph will
be as easily worked as one between Khar-
toum and Cairo, which when it was first
laid down was continually being in.

The Ship of Solomon.

By Arizona's sea OF sand
Some bearded miners gray and old,
And resolutc In search OF gold,
Sat down to tap the savage land.
They tented in a canon's mouth
That gaped against the warm wide south,
And underneath wave. washed wall,
Where snow nor rains nor winds may
fall,
They delved the level salt.white sands
For gold, with bold and horny hands.
A miner stood beside his mine,
lie pulled his beard. then looked away
Across the lovel sea OF sand,
Beneath his broad and hairy hand,
A hand as hard as knots OF pine.
ut looks 30 like sea-" said he.
He pulled his beard and he did say.
"It looks Just like dried up sea-"
Again he pulled that beard Of his,
But said no other thing than this.
A stalwart miner dealt stroke,
And struck buried beam OF oak;
An old ships beam the shaft appeared,
With storm worn faded fgurehead.
The miner twisted his long beard,
Leaned on his pick-axe as he spoke:
"Tis from some long-lost ship" he said,
"some laden ship of Solomon
That sailed these lonesome seas upon
In search OF Ophir's mine; ah! me,
That sailed tlis dricd.up desert sea-"

If I had thought thou could'st have died

But I forgot when by thy side
That thou could'st mortal be.
If never through my mind had passed
The time would e'cr be DER;
And on thee should look my last,
And thou should st smile no more!
And still upon that face I look
And think twill smile again;
And still the thought will not brook
That must look in vain.
But when 1 speak thou dost not say
Whatne'er thou left'st unsaid;
And now feel, as well l may,
Sweet Mary, thou art dead!
If thou would'st stay, cen as thou art,
All cold and all serene,
I still might press thy silent heart
And where thy smiles have been,
While cen thy chill, bleak corse l have,
Thou seemest still my own;
But, thore, lay thee in the grave,
And I am now alone.
I do not think, where'er thou art,
Thou hast forgotten me;
and perhaps may soothe this heart
In thinking, too, of thee.
Yet there was round thee such adawn

TOP Dressing FOR CoRy.--Guano, hen ma
nurc, plaster OF almost any of the CONNER
cial manures will answer as top dressing
for corn. Wood ashes are also extensively
used for this purpose, and with good re-
suits. A good handful to each hill is sutti-
cient for one application. A compost OF
hen :manure and good friable muck would
probably be better than plaster or super
phosphate, but man may not be able to
get either; hence he should use some
thinr else, or what ever is at hand.

as those which the naturalist sees in the
inner structure of tree; and these evil
dences are so strong that Bunsen argues
that the Chinese language must have
been developed 10000 B. c.; and he
fixes the period from 1880 to 1000 years
B. c. for the gradual formation of our
own family of languages, the Indo-Eu-
ropean.
In a more marked degree than the
difference between the Teuton and Celt,
two branches of the Aryan family, is
the difference in the characteristic traits
of the greater divisions, as the Aryan
and Semitic races. The principal na-
tions of Christendom have their intel
lectual and moral traits by descent from
the Aryan race; their religion from the
Semitic. Since the Aryan races came
forward upon>the field of history, they
have been foremost in obtaining and
holding dominion of the world; they
have everywhere and at all times lex
cept during the ascendency of the Sara
Gems in the Middle Ages held the lead
ership in art and law and science and
civilization. They have borne with
them through all their history passion
for philosophical speculation, deriving
this from the same source from which
the voluminous meditative philosophy
of ancient India came. By reason of
their migrations, and through continual
contact with new forms of nature, as
well as by the steady influence of race
on race, the speculative tendencies of
the Aryan mind have taken practical
turn and development, and during some
centuries past the European Aryan has
exhibited an intellectual and physical
activity never witnessed in any other
race. Through this race the Semitic
conceptions of Deity and Semitic tradi-
tions of religion have been spread to all
parts of the world.
All this knowledge comes in to restore
connecting links, long lost, in the his
tory of the intellectual development of
the race. 1t has developed a new science,
which may be called the science of COM
parative or universal religion. Some
remarks on this branch of the subject
will be presented at another time.

MOUNT HOOD.


Like monarch of ages thou standest,
Ghostly-white in thy mantle of snow;
OF the mountain-spires thou art the grandest
That fall on our vision below; r.
And thy presence is awful.
Grim sentinel mountain, thy coldness
Strikes a fear to the heart and chill;
Thy majesty frightens our boldness,
Thy avalanche weakens our will;
And we listen and tremble.
From the valley surrounded with mountains,
From the top OF the cedar-girt hill,
From the rivers, the lakes and the fountains
Men murmur their fear of thy will,
And thy threatening crater.
Thou stand'st through the flight OF the ages,
Unscathed by the narrowing blast;
In the roar of the thunder which RACES,
Untrenched standest thou till the last,
And thy SHOWS are untarnished.

DREAMS.
BY o. P. MASON.

1t is a very common notion with peo-
pie who claim to be intelligent, to say
of the ignorant and supersti-
tious, that dreams are warnings, or
foreshadowings of coming events; and
there are even at the present day so
many people, not only "old women"
but men, both old and young, claiming
a considerable degree of intelligence,
who "believe in dreams," or claim that
to dream of. certain things gives US
warning of some coming event, that the
subject is worthy of notice and investi-
cation. If anything is indicated by
dreams, it is high time, in this age of
intelligence, science, and learning, that
mankind should be fully informed
thereof; if there is nothing in them, if
it is superstition and humbug, then the
intelligent reader should investigate the
subject, and at once, for his own good
and the good Of mankind, discard it.
Now, let US see what science teaches
US in regard to dreams, their interpreta-
tions and warnings. Phrenology Gf
there is any truth in the science),
teaches us that the brain is the organ of
the mind, and that each faculty of the
mind has its separate organ in the
brain, and also that the physiological
conditions of the body affect mental
manifestations. Then the brain, as a
whole, is the organ of the mind, as a
whole; but the mind being made up of
many separate faculties, the brain must
therefore have corresponding separate
organ for each faculty. That these
propositions are true there is abundant
evidence, which the limited space OF
this article will not allow US to produce.
These faculties have been observed and
appropriately named by phrenologists.
Now, these organs which relate to each
other in functions are grouped together
in the brain; hence we find the intel
lectual group on the front, the moral on
the top, and the animal on the back
part of the head. 1t is evident thai
rality of organs at the same time, fol
we find ourselves feeling and manifest
ing not only different but opposite emo
tions at the same time. This would bt
impossible if the mind acted through
but a single organ. We must also re
member that the medium through
which all intelligence is conveyed to The
mind is one of the five senses-sight
hearing, smell, touch, and taste, and W,
must also remember that two organs o
the same group seldom if ever act to
gether, and that when one organ of I
group is in action, the remainder of tn
organs of that group are at rest, o
asleep. These groups of organs are sub
divided by .phrenologists into other o
semi-classes, but for our present purpos
the principal groups already named will
suffice.
Now, one more proposition that W
state as a self-evident fact. The brai
is constantly acting, as long as it is an
imated by the blood; and whether W
retain or remember what thought
have passed through it depends upo
whether or not the organ of memor
(Eventuality) was awake or asleeI
When memory is awake we retail
everything that passes through th
brain; when memory sleepeth we retail
nothing. This can be proved by an
