Is THERE ANYTHING IN DREAMS "A
Holiday Shurg correspondent of the Altoona
Mirror, writing under date of April 18TH
answers the above question in the affirma-
tive as follows
Reading n story in yesterdays Mirror from
Harper. "A Strange Dream. brings to mind a
similar one related to me some time ago ny a
former resident of this town. now deceased. 1
met him ON the hriGyc, when he asked me if
thought there was any hing in creams. Then
he related the following: He dreamed he was
walking on the bank of very wide river !:
when he came To old house he turned on
aud went up high mountain. aud when about
half way up he came to a fiat spot, W ere there
large rock, and beyond the rock were
eleven Wild turkeys. He then woke up and
found hat il was a dream. Some five years
after he had has ness in rhe Cove. and, as he
had to travel on foot he took the near cut by
way of he reservoir. past kephart's old pot
terry and then over Cove mountain, a route he
had travelled before. When passing
along the tank at the reservoir. toy the old pot
terry works, and up the mountain, every thing
seemed familiar and he began to realize il was
the same ground he had passed over FIVE years
before in a. dream. but what puzzled him the
m o-t was. when he reached the fiat and the big
rock. to sce the eleven wild turkeys scrat ching

In the absence of his counsel F. p
iiefNey, Esq, man naned John McCune
was raiied on several times in succession in

answer the charge of bigarny, aud finally
arose 10 MS feet and said that there was no
use In wasting time, as he would plead gull
". On being asked if he had anything to
say In mitigation of his sentence he rerijed
as follows: "I have nothing TO saw / die
wrong and am sorry for il, and ] hope I'll
never be taken intthe same way again. and
don think 1 shall. That is all / have to
say: Court sentenced him to pay a fine Of
Sloo ana costs of prosecution, and to under
go separate and solitary conf nement for one
year in the Western Penitentiary. In the
same Conrt, on the sans day, Basil Moore

sentence, less 500 az to the fine.
On Monday afternoon last about half
past o. clock n three-year old son of Mr.
James Kelly, of Cambria borough while
playing on the track in front of his fathers
residence was knocked down, run over and
had both of his legs taken eff by a dummy
engine on the narrow guage road leading
from the mill coal mines TO the Cambria
Steel anu. Iron Works. His left leg was
subsequently ainpntated by DR.. w. r. Low

non on the other leg as soon as the child,
rallied, IT rally he could but that time ne YER
came, the little unfortunate gradually sink
ing until about o'clock Wednesday after
noon, when he was called to a better and
brighter world. The innocent victim of this
shocking accident, for which the boy In
charge of the engine is thought 5y .uine to
be careessly if not culpably responsible, was
said To have been very bright and inteli-
gent child for his age, bu: not for that reason
alone can the great grief of the sadly I've.

An italian miner from Millwood W0st-

mugs of beer, retired to rest some wIiere to-

he subsequently piled his wearing apparel
So far so good, hut the I. NJ. aforesaid had
not been long eusconrcd under the "kivers''
when, awakening from his slumbers, he be-
gan to smell a SMELL aud realized the fact
that his habiinents were on fife. He gave
the alarm forthwith and the other inmates
of the house rushed promptly to the scene,
where the startling discovery was soon IN AL Z
that not only his pants and vest had been
rnined 10y the FIRE, but that S246 in green
backs had been, as the Tribune remarks,
literally reduced to white ashes. AS the
disnayed owner of the property which had
been but was not had ouly forty-seven cents
in coin left, the bOarders in the house raised
a collection to buy him a new outfit and pay
his fare home, aud on Monday he departed

A Prieeless Freaaure.
London Athsneum.]

London Atheneum.
In the second week of May, 1877,
there was found in the Olympia
temple of Zeus, not far from the
portrait statue of a Roman lady, a
colossal marble statue of a nude
youth. The lower portion of the
legs and the right forearm are
wanting. With the left elbow he
leaned upon the stem of a tree,
supporting on his arm a little boy.
Of the latter figure, unfortunately,
only the lower part remains, and
the tiny hand that he had laid con-
fidingly on the shoulder of his
bearer. Over the tree-stem on
which the arm that supports the
boy is rested falls the drapery on
rich, deeply-cut and wonderfully
worked folds, affording to the arm
a soft resting place, and gracefully
hiding the support of the tree-stem,
which in this position was techni-
cally necessary. The body of the
youth rests with an easy negligence
on the left leg, so that the soft flesh
of the right hip shows, in manifold
displacements, the play Of the mus
Giles Of the blooming, youthful
form. The head is marked by the
finest, most spiritualized youthful
beauty, and somewhat resembles the
heads we see on the Vatican Melea-
ger or the Hermes of the Belvidere.
The body, too, resembles those fig
ures, only it is slenderer, softer,
more yivacious. At.the first glance
we are struck by the careless execu-
ton Of the hair, which, in the parts
that were usually unseen by the
spectators, is only slightly indicated.
The back Of the statue is also less
thoroughly wrought. Now Pausa-
Mas reports that among the gifts of
recent date was a marble Hermes
carrying the Dionysus, and that it
was a work of Praxiteles. The
savants who have charge of the ex-
cayations have, therefore, and there
is no doubt correctly, inferred that
our statue is really the Hermes of
Praxiteles, and that We now, for the
first time, behold an original work
of that great artist-a work that is
equal to the greatest treasures we
possess of ancient art, and which
must ever remain u cornerstone of
the history Of Greek sculpture.

The BaromstrIeal RloWer.

Purchasers of new and curious
trifles have already supplied them
selves with the "barometrical
flower" 1t is an artificial flower,
Of course, and its deep blue tint is
caused by chloride of cobalt. When
the atmosphere changes, at the ap-
proach of rain, the blue turns TO
pink. This is the simple explana-
ton of a pretty toy. But the
Partisan ladies are utilizing the in
yention by wearing the blue flowers
in their hats. Thus, on the prom
enade they furnish to each other
mutual "cautionary signals" When
a lady discovers, by her neighbours
bonnet, that rain is coming she is
put on her guard while she her,
self is warning others, This is the
latest mutual protection" device,
and its adoption among the votarios
of fashion shows that scientific
ladies may be more easily known
by the tints of the ornaments in
their hats than by the cerulean hue
of their stockings.

occasion to consult him. Then,
till noon, comes a long line of con-
suls general and such foreigners as
feel a desire to converse with royalty.
One of the most remarkable traits
OF the khediye is his accessibility
to strangers. His greeting is
always courteous and cordial; his
French the most faultless Partisan,
and his conversational powers are
brilliant. His knowledge, too, is
encyclopedia; he talks on every
subject as if he were a specialist in
each. This audience is closed when
the gun from the citadel announces
the hour Of noon, and his highness
withdraws an hour for breakfast;
but the end of this brief space finds
him again at his post, where he sits
transacting every kind Of business
until seven in the evening, when
another hour is given to dinner.
After this-except on the not too
frequent occasions when he passes
the evening on the balcony smoking
and chatting with personal friends
the khediye returns yet again to
the chamber, and until past mid
night he keeps at work, surrounded
by his whole staff of secretaries,
chamberlains and other officials.
Thus fourteen hours Of hard toll on
nearly every day in the year attest
the intense vitality and administra-
tive vigor of the man whom some
look upon as a modern Sardanap.

Remedy for whoOplug Cough.

Make a syrup Of prickly pear
(0puntia vulgaris), and drink free
ly. Take about three moderate
sized leaves of the prickly pear to a
quart of cold water cut up in
pieces and boil slowly about half
an hour, strain out all the prickles
through close muslin or linen,
sweeten with white sugar, and boil
a little longer. A safe and sure
cure, and so pleasant to the taste
that infants will take it with a rel
ish. 1t is also good for a cold that
settles in the throat or lungs. This

and sandy places, or is grown in

The KhedIve-A Peep at the Au-
dtence Chamber-Eeypt's Ruler.
A writer in Appleton's Journal
says:
In the Abdeen Palace there is a
modest chamber, simply furnished
with Persian carpet, a damask-
covered diyan, a few chairs to
match, and a small gilt table.
Hither every morning at eight
comes the prince. His imposing
form, clear bright eye and firm
mouth, show man of great power ;
and as he steps briskly into the
room the whole apartment takes on
an air of business. From behind
the small table, where he seats HIM
self, he rules his country absolutely
for the Khedive, like Louis XIV,
is the State. Although the formal
work Of administration is carried on
through a privy council and eight
ministers, these are but mere agents
of his personal will, and he him
self conducts every measure, from
the approval of a contract for
Goals to the negotiation of a treaty.
The smallest details of routine pass
under his eye, and the meanest
officer of the kingdom is directly
responsible to him. As he sits at
the table for his daily receptions,
his brain is teeming with future
plans for his people, and with the
details of those vast schemes, pub
lie and private, already in progress.
He came to the throne with def
mite, broad, and enlightened policy
Of government formed in his mind; |;
and his first act was one of far
reaching mercy to his poorest sub
jects. His private business, too, is
of great magnitude, and already
his indefatigable energy and sound
Judgment have made him the
wealthiest landowner in Egypt.
But now the two Arab chasseurs
on the stair-landing throw open the
door, and the first party enters, the
khedive's sons, who are the chiefs
of the priyy council and the minis
terS of war, finance and public
works. After this follows the re-
ception of the other ministers and
Of such functionaries as may have
