A SINGULAR story comes from wi

A SINGULAR story comes from Wise
county, Texas. One forenoon the wife
OF a farmer lay down on the back
porch, went to sleep. and dreamed.
In her dream she saw a newly-dug
grave in the yard near the grave was
woman laid out in burial apparel (;
the woman she recognized as herself.
When her husband came to dinner she
related her singular dream, and gave
a minute description of everything she
had seen, locating her grave in the
back yard, and the manner in which
she was dressed. Her husband thought
it was singular, but paid no further
attention to it. During the afternoon
wood-rat ran into the house. The
farmer snatched up an old pistol, and
snapped it at the escaping rat. While
examining the treacherous fire arm, il
was accidentally discharged. The ball
lodged in the wife's brain. She fell
and expired in few minutes.

A LITTER to the St. Louis Repulii-
can gives interesting facts touching
Bret Harle and his works. The au.
thor of the Heather Chinee" is very
much annoyed that that ordinary but
popular poem has made him much
better known 10 the general public
than all his other works combined;
particularly does he exhibit much
vexaIion when person just introdue-
ed to him remarks that he is happy
10 meet the author Of the "lleathen
Chinee" These verses, according TO
the correspondent, were thrown of
one day in the Overland editorial
room without any idea Of publication.
The author attacked no importance TO
them, and they remained for several
months in his drawer, when, in ma
King up the Monthly one day, a poem
If about that length was needed, and .
Iiar;e, having nothing else on hand, .
lecided, though not without serious
TO put il in.

Room FOR MORE SHEEP. Last year
we paid foreign countries fifty millions
of dollars for wooden goods and eleven
millions of dollars for manufactured
goods. When we have in the country
twenty millions more sheep than we
now have, we shall only produce what
wool We Use aud yet there is no coun-
try ON earth where it would seem sheep
could be raised so proftably as in the
United States. But We are coming
every year nearer to supplying our own
markets with the wool they demand.
In 1875 the wool clip of the country
was nearly 200. 900, 900 pounds, while
in 1860 it was only 70, 900, 900 pounds.

A Long Brunch correspondent Of
the 81. Louis Globe Democrat writes
Two Of the most notable men here
this season have been Col. Tn mas A.
Scott, Of the Pennsylvania Railway,
and Jay Gould. the little magician Of
Wall Street. who carried oil the Erie
road in his pocket, and left il there
ontil he made hine or ten millions by
IL, Both OF them are very quiet, tact
turn, selfpossessed; both ofthem have
mastery commercial ability; both Of
them have unbounded ambition and
an inappeasable passion for huge ope'
ratious. They have been rivals for
some time, and it is not quite certain
yet which Of the two Is the stronger,
though the probabilities seem to be on
the side Of Gould.
They look very unlike.
Scott is blonde; has an open, pleas
ant, very intelligent face, a clear, blue
gray eye, side whi,kers, and abundant
hair, tinged with silver. lie might
pass for an orthodox clergyman. He
moves abou. softly, and apparently
with unconcern yet you can sec he is
thinking hard, and arranging for the
future.
Gould is a little fellow, a decided
brunette, his mouth, chin and cheeks
covered with black hair, and his black
eyes bright, reflective, inscrutable.
There is something cat.like in his gait;
his expression is calm, and so cold
that il your breath were to TALL on his
visage il might turn to vapor. Put a
red suit on him, aud place him on the
stage, and you would swear he was
chosen by nature for the part of Luci-
fer. He must have immense self
control, gigantic power denomination,
a wonderful brain; for no one ever
knows what he is doing, or intends to
do, though he has the capacity to de-
range the finances of the country-as
he has done ere now-and would not
hesitate to render the country bank
rupt, L its bankruptcy would inure to
his advantage.
He and Scott have been graphing
for mastery in the South and West,
and there are reasons for believing that
Gould has designs on the Pennsylvania
Railway, which a little time will de
velop. / have seen them pass one
They bow politely and speak
softly, but neither stops. Each seems
to fear that the other might read his
mind, pluck out the heart Of his finan-
cial mystery. Plainly there is no love
between them; plainly each is gather
ing strength for the newt tussle, and
taking long breath before they crap
pie again.
Gould looks as il he thought, "Scott
is mighty snooth and smart, but you
never can trust him." Scott looks as
if he were saying inwardly, "Gould is
quiet as the grave, as sharp as light
ming, but he's an Internal scoundrel.'

SETTLED at Last.

Some Democrats have vcntured IL
bet few dollars on Tilden carrying
Ohio. They base these bets on the
fact that the great body Of Germans in
Ohio-and there are many thousand
German voters in 0hio-are enthusi-
astic for Tilden aud Hendricks. But
the St. Joseph Gazette settles it thusly:
1T is thought now that Hayes will
carry Ohio by 10000 majority. Zach
Chandler told Grant that Schenck had
informed Halstead that Babcock had
been told by Belknap that he had
heard brother Orvil say that Uncle
Billy Mckee had got a letter from
Rhem and Hessing who are at Chica-
go, saying that it would be n big thing
to carry it by 200 majority"

Could many a parent forsee what
God in mercy hides-the unhappy
fate and fortunes of his child-vhen
its life is trembling in the balance and
his heart, as he hangs over The cradle,
trenlbles for the issue-he would hest
tate to pray to God to spare, to turn
aside the impending stroke. Though
the parting is bitter and it wrirgs hi,
heart to watch the ebbing, the dying
agonies of the infants life, he might
be dumb, opening not the mouth; ac-
counting it better, much better, his
child should die and 60 to heaven than
live for the fate before it. = Org nth

parting Il 10 others lie should seek to
awaken the interest Of the pupil in the
subject, and 10 encourage his inqui.
ries or, in other words, he should
teach rather than h,dr lessons. Parents
take TOO little interest in the course Of
training in schools, because, in many
instances, they received a similar train
ing. How frequently do we hear a
parent exclaim: "Well, know she
has not much education but she will
do to teach my little children, and !
can send them to a good teacher when
they are older Alas, what mis-
takel Such a parent, il erecting u
fine building, would never think Of
employing an inferior mason to lay the
foundaticn.stone, and a finished one to
put on the cap-stone. No, mol He
knows that the foundation must be
firm, if the building is to be secure,
and that the outer ornaments are of
minor significance while, at the same
time, the immortal mind Of his child is
left to an ignorant, Indifferent person,
who bears the dignified name of
TEACHER, but who feels no special in
terest in his calling beyond the remu-
neration he receives, and who rears a
bascless fabric that falls with the first
breeze.
Ifteachers, instead Of overwhelming
the memory, would seek to strengthen
the intellectual faculties by slow but
sure instruction in subjects calculated
to awaken thought and inquiry, how
much less sham education would We
see Who has not observed the pre-
ponderance of sinew and muscle the
arm Of blacksmith has over that of
other menY And why is this d? When
he first began to learn the trade, his
arm was no stronger than any others, |
but by slow and steady blows upon his
anvil he has acquired strength to do
what at first seemed impossible. Thus
a child, by a gradual and persistent use
of his intellectual faculties, strengthens |
bis mind year by year, until his giant
intellect may be able to grapple with
he most abstruss subjects. Until
teachers are awakened to sense of the
fearful responsibility tina; rests upon
them, and seek to reform the systems
pursued in schools, we can hope for no
greater results than we have already |
seen. Let us, then, teachers here as
.embled, set ourselves to this work in
earnest, seeking, by every means in our
power, 10 repair what may be wrong
N our metho1 OF teaching, and, by
hearty endeavor, strive to awaken an
interest in the young minds committed

lime, we shall harvest rich reward IN

will teach their children to rise up and
