AN HISTORICAL PHENoMENcE-A PROPHET

AN HISTORICAL PHENOMENCN-A PROPHETIC
DREAM.
Hezekiah Butterworth contributes to the
February Galaxy an article upon Anna
Seward and Major Andre, from which the
following incident is taken: Just before
Maior Andres e's-embarkation for America, be
made ajourney into Derby shire, to pay Miss
Seward visit, and IL was arranged that
they should take pleasure ride totbe park.
Miss Seward told ANDRE ths beside.
enjoying the beauties of ths. natural
scenery, he would there meet sorae
OF her most valuable friends, among
them Mr.. Newton, whom she playfully
the curste, whom she regarded as very
elegant poet. 81 had q very strange dream
last night,a said Mr.. Cunningham to Mr..
Newton, while they were awaiting together
] the arrival of the party, sane IL has haunted
me all day., seeming, unlike ordinary
| dreams, to be impressed very vividly upon
my mind. / fancisd myself to be in great
forest. The place was strange to me, and
| while hooking abouE with some surprise /
saw horseman approaching at great speed.
three men rushed out OF q thicket and, seiz!ng
his bride, hurDfed MIN away, after closely
searching his peTson. The countenance oi
the stranger vas. very interesting aud i'm
pressjve one / seem to see it now. My
sympathy for him was so great that
awoke. But L presently fell asleep sgain
and dreamed that l was standing near q
strange city, among thousands of people
and that / saw the same person l had seen
in the wood brought out and suspended tC
the gallows. the victim was young, and
had a coursly bearing. The influence and
the effects of this dream are somewhat diff
2 ferent from any that i ever had" Presently
Miss Seward arrived with the handsom,
stranger. Mr.. Cunningham turned pal

BY her fault, or bv i'll fate
Left in great ondon desolate
OF helpers and of comforters;
Without one heart TO beat with hersi
without one hand in tenderness
And sympathy her ha TO press;
A lone soul left, disT assionate,
Without one link Of love or hate.
From her Lodging, poor and bare,
And high Up in the smOke-dim air,
With cherries heart, with aimless feet,
She descended to the street,
Where the people, coming, goingi
Ceaseless as a rivers Rowing,
Seemed as imperturoable,-
a ; though no heart ws rim tear could well
Fnto tho e dr. eyes; no sob
Ever could those Sc lips rob
OF their steTnne- S. With blind stare,
They pass a woman IN despair.
With homeless heart, with weary feet,
She wandert tn ON from street TO street,
Restless as withered leaf
Fallen from its p rent tree.
CfOaded by a sleeoless grief,
Dogged by dull perplexity;
Passing along in dumb despair,
Deserted street and silent square.
Into the shadowy black and deep
Ola doorway she doth shrink,
CIouching there she can not weep
Waiting there she can not thlnK.
AS tide by Tiver-wall
lappetE ever WearlIys
Round her soul despair doth call
Constantly and drearily.
AS round ancient gable-peaks
The ghOstly nignt-wind walls and shrieks,
so again and yet again
Rise the bitter gusts pain
Steps are heard upon the stone;
One cometh down he street alone,
And upon the footsteps follow.
Mid the DARK roofs ech eS hollow.
On he comes, al unaware
OF the deep misery lurking there.
He pauses not, but passes on;
she speaketh not, and ne Is gone
She thinks, HE would but reckon me
The vile thing that would not be.
Silence again. A wild intent
That pang woke in her as it went.
She gOes-nOught with her down the street
But hauntr eeho-s OF her feet
She stands where far below is heard
The rivers one unchau gins " ord.
She stands and listens, anc doth know
Beneath the waters seawaId go.
Like an Incarnation drear
She hears them wash by wharf and pier,
viii mono come to save her yet?
Her foot is on the parapet;
Upward 10 a starle S heaven
One last, hopeless look Is given.
On each side stretches dark and far
The line OF roofs irregular,
And beneath vast Dight-wan
Based in gloom funereal.
The blackness foweth up to meet
The wanderers world-weary feet,
And afar below 1t all
Sill the river seems to call,
"MOrtal, since thou canst not live,
Come, for ! nave rest to give;
Over thee and thy sad woes
Secretly my wave shall close,
Spreading changeless over all,
Like mighty funeral pail"
a moment, agoniz d and mute,
Rigid, yet irIesoiute,
She stands. Then. with bitter cry,
But from her souls last agony,
Sheer down the blaek aby IS she falls.
The river washes by its walls.

The next Senate of the United States will
consist OF 80 members, having gained an ac
G. ssion of two from the new state of Colorado.
The New York Ford figures up a republican
majority. after March ith next. of bu; four.
and divides the parties as follows: Repub
leans 40 democrats Sc The following repub-
lican Senators who retire on the eth OF March,
according to the WOTId. will be succeeded by
democrats: Messrs. Clayton, West, Alcorn,
Frelirghuysen, Robertson, and Hamilton.
The SUCCESSORS of Alcorn and Hamilton have
already been chosen. The WoSld also claims
that the Pinehback vacancy from Louisiana
will be filled by n democrat. The small repub
liean majority in the Senate will &c value
less TO TIE republicans on certain occasions,
since there are four or five Senators on their
side who cannot always be depended upon
when a strict party vote is 10 De taken. An
instance of this was furnished in the Pinch
back case last session when enough republic
cans voted with the democrats to give the
latter an actual majority.

The statistics OF the Centennial Exposition
show that eighty-five season press tickets
were issued to the journalists OF the District
OF Columbia AS this number is considera-
bly, in excess of the whole number of persons
legitimaiely connected with the editorial and
publishing departments of all the papers I'm
the District, we are afraid the noble army of
dead-beats had n good many Representatives
at the Centennial under the convenient guise
OF being connected with the press" A list
Of the names OF these persons and of the pa
pers they professed to represent would be a
curious and interesting souvenir of the exhi-
bition.

The fact that President MacMahon, of
France, has removed NJ. Du Sommerard
from all connection with the great French
exhibition of 1873, gives color to the belief
that, Notwithstanding Sommerard's feeble
denial Of having written abusively in refer
ence to the Centennial Exhibition, he did
write the letter in question Colonel FOrney,
in the Philadelphia Press, says that Som
merard is an intense imperialist, bitter
enemy of Laboulaye and Lafayette. and from
the first opposed any French representation
at Philadelphia. He adds that but for the
peevishness Of Du Sommerard the French
department would have been larger, and i'm
consequence the French complaints fewer.

After tho Battle, Peace:

Amid the flash of lightning and the down
pour of torrents, young Lucien Adams was
last evening laid in that marble city of the
dead. the st. Louis Cemetery.
All day long, despite the foed, never
ending currents of saddened humanity
flowed to aud from the family residence.
and vast throng, ON foot and in carriages,
at tho given hour followed tho remains of
the lamented young gentleman to St.
Joseph's Church, Common street, where
the last sad Offices of the Catholic Church
were solemnized over the corpse.
Never were these sacred rites more i'm
pressively administered, nor listened to by
more sympathe mourners. In q city
where young men are exec ptionally sur
rounded by temptation, the deceased kept
free from vices and had no mean fault.
Handsome, generous and brave - ever
ready to respond to the call of friendship
it was impossible to know him we'll and not
love him we'll.
From the church to the grave, as the pro-
cession we1ded its "slow length along"
the flooded avenues, sympathetic specta-
tors crowded the windows and sheltered
galleries Of the private residences, giving
evidence Of coincidence that could not fail
to prove soothing to the near friends and
relatives of the departed.
May his happiness in that bourne to
which he has been so untimely sped be as
certain aa fhat his mnmorv will ha hare
cherished is our most earnest wish.

The following is from New York letter
in the Philadelphia Ledger:
There has been some talk at the clubs,
within the last wo or three days past, OF
secret organization in this city, designed to
afford aid and comfort to the Mexican revo-
lntionists on the Rio Grande. The feeling
is said to be that the Mexican States along
that river will soon declare their indepen-
dence Of the central government, in which
case there will be q splendid opportunity
for enterprising and ambitious Americans
who are looking to political as we'll a. mill
tary preferment in the future. The organl-
zAtion in question has this contingency IN
view. though it's plan of operations oontem-
mates no active violation of the neutrality
laws. There is no reason to suppose. as .
mart of the scheme, that an active corre-
epondence has been going on between the
parties in question and General tofnrlo
6iaz. and the intelligence of his capture OF
Matamoras will be likely to bring the mat
ter to head.
Should declaration of independence be
issued by the rebels, the calculation 10 tnas
the history of Texas would be repeateo
over again, with this difference, that mex
leo is so far gone now that it would DO out
of her power to carry on war 20 PIesTrsns nv
annexation to the United States. Inc
~nrk of dismemberment would be easy.
Then. among the prizes would be Gov-
arnorsaip, members of Congress. Senators:
etc. The venture may have rather wiio
Ink to people at . distance, but II the
"Echoes of the clubs" do not mlslead. tie
rsraona Who are engineering it are BY no
Icons wild men, neither are they without
a vainable political and military expert
ence They may be q sort of madnen, but
there is method in their madness.

A Parental Veto.

Yesterday noon q bold, bad boy who
lives on Columbia street went home from
school and said: "Dear mother, mayn't I
90 in nv bare feet this afternOOne None
of the boys wear shoes in the spring." But
his neither said, "No, my darling boy, can
not lot you 60 bare footed, and if you tease
me about it will waffle your tender Gu
ticle with the unklnd end Of cheerful
skate-strap." So the bold, bad boy closed
the debate with sigh, and when the yeas
and nays were called his motion did not
prevail, and the house soon after adjourned.
But the boy went out of the yard by the
alleyway, and took of his shoes
and stockings, and hid them behind
the wood-pile, and scudded merrily
off to school, and everybo admired
his fat, muddy, bare feet. But when he
got out of school the ground was covered
with snow, and he had very solemn time
hippity hopping back home, and when he
got there he couldn't tell the wOodpile from
q haystack, and his shoes and stockings
might as we'll have been in the middle of
the ocean for all the good they did him.
So he went into the house, and, after a
great deal Of flibustering, he made his re-
port, which was tabled, and the house went
into committee Of the whole on the state Of
the boy. His mother took the floor, and
after an exciting and highly interesting
session, the committee rose and the house
adjourned, while the boy rubbed such por..
tiOns of his anatomy as he could reach, and
framed bill for the more perfect preven-
ton of Burlington (l0,ra) Hack
Eye.

A Legendary Landmark Gone-A Strange
Clrcumstance.


For many years grave in the Minden
gravey ard, with q small, peculiarly CON-
structed frame house covering it, and COM
pletely hiding it from view, has been the
subject of much interest to the curious, in
asmuch as strange stories have been told
concerning tho burial of the bodies which it
was supposed to contain, and the secret
and silent manner in which they were con-
signed to their last resting place, which
added to the fact that no one knew of any
recent death having occurred in the family
from which the burial took place at the
silent hour of midnight, it is not surprising
that strange stories are told of the queer
looking edltice. It has been pointed out to
Us fire q uently a. the grave with history,
the sequel OF which remains mystery to
this day, and will probably remain such un-
til the last trump nnbow owels the earth and
reveals the secrets hidden beneath her SUI
face.
The old stories will now be revived, the
curious will still be more curious than ever
therefore,. and the stranger who hereafter
visits Minden graveyard, having heard OF
the strange grave and its legend, and
wishes to gee it, will be pointed to the
barren spot where once stood the strange
little house, for like the burial, secretly
of it disappeared: by whose hand or agency
none know, but it is nevertheless true that
not q plank or shingle is left to show where
once stood this mysterious edifice which.
for 80 many years, has been the object Of
prying eyes and the subject of innumerable
COME ctures. Every means seems to have
been used to effectually Grace all signs that
q grave was once upon the spot. The
ground has been ieveled and green turf
laid where 1t stood. as if a desire existed to
blot out forever any evidence that grave
onca existed there, 1t was possibly a
monument to "deed of darkness" which
has haunted the criminal and he returns
and RACES it to the ground.-Aindcn Dem
