Interpretation Of Dreams.

TO dream of small stone around your
neck is sign of what you may expect if you
get an extravagant wife.
To see apples in a dream betokens we'd
ding, because where you find apples you may
expect to find pears
To dream that you are lame is a token that
you will get into hobble.
When young lady dreams of a coffin it
betokens that she should instantly discontinue
the use of tight stays, and always 60 warmly
and thiclly shod in wet weather.
To dream of fire is a sign that, if you are
wise, you will see that the lights in your
houses are out before you go to bed.
To dream that your nose is red at the tip is
an intimati0n that you had better leave off
brandy and water.
To dream of eggs is sign that you will
discover o mares nest.
When fashionable lady dreams of fill
bert, it is sign that her thoughts are running
upon the Colonel.
If you dream of clothes, it is warning not
to 20 to law, for by the rule of contraries you
will be sure of nOn-suit
To dream that you are eating, it is sure to
come true at breakfast
To dream of barber, denotes loss-hairs
may be expected to be cut of.
To dream of having great number OF SER
vsnts is madness.
1t is very lucky to dream you pay for 2
thing twice over, since afterw*rd you will
probably take care to have all your bills re-
ceipted.
If you dream of beer, it is . sign that you
may have pot luck.
TO dream of ice is favorable omen for .
lady that she related her dreams to an elegant
young man passing pastry cooks shop on
hot day.

signed by flfty-tw legally returned members
of the House, is in my possession.
Immediately subsequent to the action OF
eiecting the Clerk of the old House, Mr.. Billen
moved that two gentlemen from the Parish of
DeSoto, one from Winn, one from Bienville
and one from iberia, who had not been re-
turned by the Returning Board, be sworn i'll
as members, and they were accordingly sworn
in by Wiltz, and took their seats on the floor
as members of the House. A motion was
made that the House proceed with the per-
manent organization, and accordingly the roll
was called by Trezeyant acting Clerk, and
Wiltz was declared Speaker, and Trezeyant,
Clerk of the House.
ACTING ON THE PROTEST
made by majority of the House, the Cover
nor now requested the commanding General
of the department to aid him in restoring
order to enable legally returned members of
the House to proceed with its organization
according to law. This request was reason
able aud in accordance with law. Remem-
bering wildly the terrible massacres that took
place in this city on the assembling of the
Constitutional Convention in 1866, at Nechan-
ics' Institute, and believing that the lives OF
members of the Legislature were, or would
be, endangered in case an organization under
the law was attempted, the posse was furn-
ished, with the request that care should be
taken that no member of the Legislature re-
turned by the Returning Board should be
elected from the floor. This military posse
performed its duty under directions from the
Governor of the State and removed from the
floor of the House those persons who had
been illegally seated, and who had no legal
right to be there, whereupon the Democrats
rose and left the House, and the remaining
members proceeded to effect an organization
under the State laws. In all this turmoil in
which bloodshed was imminent, the military
posse behaved with great discretion. When
Wilt, the usurping Speaker of the House,
called for troops to prevent bloodshed, they
were given him. When the Governor of the
State called for posse for the same purpose,
and to enforce the law, it was furnished also.
Had this not been done, it is my firm belief
that scenes of bloodshed would have ensued.

THE TRAMP.

RY FRANK r. ARMSTRONG.
Yes, he sc0r a "tramp"-
But he wasn't no scamp,
Wor Jim.
Nor he wasn't no shirk.
Cause he was out o. work
'Twasn't no fault Of him!
Jim wor a brick
And couldn't he ''stick ?"
Wal, now you jist bet!
But, I'm telling you, Bub-
Jist 'cause he was a :'sub"
He couldn't get much to "set."
Yes, he saw hard times
And the little dimes
Didn't come very fast. ...
He couldn't git ''sit,"
So he had to git
And 90 ION the road" at last.
He got clean busted,
So we got up and busted
Me and Jim.
Ye zee, / was his pard
And we did see times hard,
So kno,o him.
But what'd he care?
Bout the loss of fare,
He'd never complain.
And many night
With nary bite
He's slept out in the rain!
And when was sick with the chills-
Didn't he pay all the bills?
Wal, you bet he did!
And he carried my bag.
Every darned rag
When we ''slid!"
That's cause l was weak
God! could hardly speak. .s
But he had the grit, .,
And when we struck this place
And Jim got "case,"
He left, and give me the ''sit!"
And, now, when he's off on a tramp
And me-the burned scamp
Can't even get letter to him,
It gives me the cramps
To hear you talking of ''tramps"-
Cause one Of 'em is-Jim!

THE POET.
Soul of passion, tinged with madness.
Meanings like the restless sea,
Widest mirth and keenest sadness,
Such are Natures gifts to thee;
Sympathy art craving ever,
Wealth of love thy mansal sign;
Faith renewed, once broken, never,
Pity Heaven soul like thine!
Beauty's bright celestial visions,
Whispers of the air and sky,
Tempt thy soul with vague derisions,
Chill the echoes vainest sigh.
Prophet on lfe's fated ocean,
Ashes garnered mid thy tears,
Worse than death, than Lethes portion,
Who can break the spell of years?
Doomed through life, whilst tempests mutter,
Loves sweet chalice to forego,
Suffer all you vainly utter,
Hopeless griet is reckless woe
Blessed, it cold inanity
Pail the heart. the weary brain;
All of life is vanity,
Death, forgetfulness of pain.
