Happy Effects Of a Dream,

The Luzerne (Penn.) Leader
relates this incident: The ter
rible accident at the railroad
bridge at Pittston, by which
Robert Helme was almost in
stantly killed, is Of too recent a
date to have been forgotten by
our readers. The sorroWful
disaster brought to the home of
the deceased q terrible desola-
ton, and the wife who was left
to mourn his sudden loss was
nearly distracted. For many
days after her husband was
buried she continued to deplore
his death, and went nearly wild
whenever she thought Of it.
Her nights were passed in rest
less rawlings, and her days were
gloomy and cheerless. 1t was
feared by her friends that her
mind would become diseased if
her grief was not some way as
suaged. At last she dropped to
sleep one sunny afternoon, and
while thus at rest she dreamed
that her husband was coming
back to her, and, bending over
her, implanted a kiss upon her
brow. She askedhim to remain
with her, but he told her he
could not, thai he was too hap
py where he was, but that they
would meet again hereafter in
the better world. The vision
passed and she awoke. Since
then her thoughts have been at
rest, and she is thoroughly i'm
pressed with the belief that her
husband is happy and that she
will go to him when she comes
to lie down in the grave beside
him." -..-

A gentleman was yesterday
telling US Of Il speech he heard in
California by a Mr.. or Gov. Wood;
anyhow he was a man OF some DO.
litical influence and had drawn a
large audience. Among other
things he drew from his pocket a
paper, fourlshed it before the as
semblage and stated the document
was il dispatch from the chairman
of the democratic executive com.
mittee Of Alabama The dispatch
stated the democrats had carried
Alabama by 10000 majority; that
they had done so by providing
themselves with shot guns and
shooting down the negroes as
they approached the polls, and
the minority would have Leen iE-
creased to $4,000 had not the
guns and ammunition given out.
Wonderful as it nay seem, The en-
tire audience believed the iafa-
nous f,bricalion, and each hearer
spread the false statement far and
wide. Can any one wonder
where such libels are issued
gainst her the south should be SOL
id against the scoundrels who re
port these accusations, mid The
men who knowing better, repeat
them for personal or party gains

\ romance Of Leavenworth,
Kansas, has come to an untime-
ly end. y veteran of 75 con-
triyed in some manner to open
a correspondence with lady in
another State aged 54. Each
concealed their true age from
the other, and ere many letters
had passed between them they
became engaged to be married,
and the lady, having settled her
affairs at home and had the usu-
81 amount Of sewing done, went
to Leavenwcrth to meet her af-
flanced, who had in the mean
time taken Outamarriage license.
When they met there was mu-
tuul disappointment, bnt the
beau proposed as matters had
gone so far, to have the ceremo-
ny proceeded with. The lady,
however, was in a huff, and re-
packing her reticule, she set
out for her distant home.

The Dog Law.
Judge Bateman Declares It to be
unconstitutional.

A man by the name Of Ford,
living in Lewis county, was III
dicted for keeping a dog and
failing TO pay the tax on him.
There was a motion to quash
the indictment upon the ground
that the act of the Legislature
taxing the owning, keeping or
harboring dog as a privilege
was unconstitutional. The fol-
lowing is the decision:
In the Circuit Court of Lew
is county. State of Tennessee
VS.. Ford.
It is insisted that the Act of
the Legislature Of this State,
known as the Dog Law, is un-
constitutional, so far as the own
ing Of a dog is declared priv
ilege and taxed as such. The
Constitution of this State, Arti-
Gle 2, Section 80, says;
"NO one species of property
from which a tax may be collec-
ted, shall be taxed higher than
any other species of property
of the same value. But the
Legislature shall have power to
tax merchants, peddlers, and
privileges in such manner as
they may from time to time di-
rect "
The Supreme Court have
from time to time, declared that
dogs were property, and that
for injuries to them the owner
had a remedy by action at law.
Then they are property accord
ing to our Supreme Court, and
it follows under our Constitu-
ton that they cannot be taxed
higher than any other species
Of property of the same value.
The Legislature shall have
power to tax privileges, but the
right to acquire and hold prop
erty cannot be taxed as a priv
ilege. 1t is an inalienable right.
But particular use Of any
kindOf property may be declared
a privilege-as the standing Of
a Jack for compensation, or
charging fees upon a billiard Ia
bic for the privilege of playing
thereon. But under the Act
known as the Dog Law, it is the
owning of the dog and not the
particular use of him that is
taxed. The keeping of dogs
is declared a privilege, Act 1875,
chapter 81, Section l, and eve
ry owner or harboyer of a dog
or dogs shall pay, &c. In my
opinion this act is unconstitu-
tional so far as it attempts to
tax the keeping, owning or har-
boring dogs as a privilege, and
L SO hold, and the indictment
will be quashed.
The Attorney General APP
pealed to the Supreme Court.

A dispatch from Cincinnati
to the Baltimore Gazette, says:
Hon. Milton Sayler has a tele-
gram from Hon. John Ellis, of

Of a couple of negroes, who are

Engineers Strike.

Two months ego the wages Of

Yesterday was a busy time

The correspondence with the Pres
ident and Superintendent, as it is
said. He has submitted a con-
tract which the engineers are vii.
ling to make, but the officers Of
the road rejected it because It's
terms were entirely too stringent
upon them. 1t is said that this
contract otligates the road to em.
ploy all the engineers who have
struck, ior the term of two
years, at $3.50 q day, and it is
that no engineer shall
be compelled to run any two suc-
cessive nights, and only 0 stated
number Of miles Per month.
There are several other stipula-
tons in the contract which make
i bind the free action Of the road
very closely, The offices gave
an absolute refusal to such an

The road is certainly losing heav-

"Fetch Her Out. :"

In California, twenty years
ago men would flock in crowds
to catch a glimpse Of that rare
and blessed spectacle, a woman.
Old inhabitants tell how in a
certain camp, the news went a.
bout early in the morning that
a woman was come! They had
seen a calico dress hanging out
of the wagon down at the camp
ing ground-sign of em;grants
from over the great plains. -
Everybody went down there,
and a shout went up when an
actual iona tide dress was dis
covered fluttering in the wind.
The male emigrant was visible.
The miners said: ''Fetch her
QUIT" He said ''it IS my wife,
gentlemen, she is sick and we
have b0en robbed Of money,pro-
VISIONS ana everything ny lHe
Indians - we want to rest" -
"Fetch her outlp That was the
only reply. lie "fetched her
out" and they set mp three rous-
ing cheers and a "tiger;" and
they crowded around and gazed
at her, and touched her dress
and listened to her voice, with
the look Of men who listened to
a memory rather than present
reality; and then they collected
two thousand five hundred dol
lars in gold and gave it to the
man, and swung their hats and
gave three more cheers, and
went home satisfied.

But to-day there's tiny pink rosebud,
Wrapped up in blanket of green;
Does the rose want to kiss baby rosebud,
When she tries so far over TO lean?'
yes, babie, yes,
