Nightmare.

There are persons who canno eat very
rich food. or too hearty an evening meal. o.
lato suppers. without being visited the FOL-
lowing night by some terrible dream. II
may be that they are falling from . prse-
pice; ieaping from n high window in bat

less victim OF ~unrequited love. or tormented
by a sour-tempered mot~her-in-law. Such
dreams take innumerable fantastic and
hidoous uhapes. In whatever form they
come, they are designated by the compre-
hensive name Of Nightmare.
Sometimes there is but an indistinct i'm
preston of such dreams remaining after
waking at others. the recollection for
days. They are always most unwslcome
visitors. leaving behind them painful asso.

Beautiful Hair.

suffered for ten or twelve years with q

Master and Man in Japan.

No feature Of japanese society is more
curious than the relations between master
and man. The master admits his servant to
bis intimate society. but the servant never
assumes . liberty. He takes his place at
dinner with the utmost humility, andhavine
done 20. bears his share Of the conversation,
addressing freely. not only his master. but
sven guests Of the highest rank. The
master viii pass his W wine-cup to his
man a. II he were an honored guest. and
for awhile they would appear. to anyone not
acquainted with o language most fertile in
subtitle distinctions. to be upon perfectly
equal terms. Yet the moment h feast il
over the man ~retires with the same profound
obeisance and marks Of difference with
which he entered, Immediately relapses into
the servitor; nor will he in any way pre-
sumo upon the familiarity which. having
lasted It's hour. disappears until occasion
calls 1t forth again. Freedom Of inter-
course like this between employer and
employed 10 creditable to both"

rormality Complied with.

In Augusta, no provision has been madc
this winter for feeding and lodging tramps-
A yagabond won't into a police-station and
wanted to sleep there.
We only lodge prisoners" said the ser
geant behind the desk.
"You only lodge prisoners" repeated the
vagabond meditatively.
That's all" was the reply ; " you've got
to steal something. or assault somebody. or
something Of that kind"
Tive got TO assault somebody. or some
thing Of that kind again repeated the vaga-
bond. thoughtfully. Then he reached across
the desk with his long arm. and knocked
the sergeant oil his stool. saying. as the ofl-
Ger got up with his hand to his eye. "Give me

Ethics Of Dirt

A lady Of some reputation assures us that
when she was a child Of ten she hated
cleanliness. and loved nothing so we'll in
he world as rolling down the green slope
at tho back Of the house, but that at
fifteen. her love of dirt gave way to an in
clination for fnery. and she grew clean as
she grew smart" That. We take II, hao
been equally true OF large classes Of society.
Their love OF dirt has given way to an In
c!inn'ian for hnery. and sometime. though
W no means always. they have grown clean
AZ they have grown smart. Blu is this
change de,esving of very high praisel Tho
pleasure in good looks is no nobler in itself
than the pleasure IN noise and scrnpes and
~ild indifference to outward appearance.
The one state OF mind belongs to one stage
in the Individual and in the social life, and
the other 10 another; but there is no par
tieplnr moral reason for praising the love
OF comelincss any more than the love Of
unconventional, haruin-scarum enjoyment.
The fcp who will not walk or ride lest he
should dirty his boots is, on the whole, a
more contemplate creature than the bear
who comes into dinner en- dishabilIe. and
never brushes his coat from weeks end to
weeks end. 1t is quite true. as one class
OF mosslists tell us. that the dislike for dirt
whea it reaches a certain point is q contemp-
hele self Indulgence. indeed, q thoroughly
unchrisr;an fort Of luxuriousness and effem.
macy nor do we SEQ that, short Of this

sonal fas~;idiousness can often be consistent

seIkKiIIing for Trivial Causes.

Ambition is q notable cause of suicide.
Some one has said in the case Of Hayden, if
he had only spent the time in painting
which he did in trying to persuade his
eountrymen that he could paint, he would
have become the painter he whished to be.
Not being a great painter, he shot himself.
Trivial causes sometimes lead to it. A
frenchInan killedhimself from the ennui OF
pulling on his trowsers every day /: another
from the m~onotory Of natures color, saying
that the eternal green annoyed him to dis
traction, and that he desired to see every.
thing in red fora change. A man Of
seventy-fve years hung himself. leaving
this apology: " Jesus Christ ms said that

II Is difficult to characterize the transactions IN
stocks to-day because after seemingly large buy
ing and no little excitement, the majority Of the
prices were a shade lower at the close than
at the opening of the market Western Cnlon
however, shows a final gam Of liz per cent
after some very erratic movements. The opening
was at 81, from which there was quick advance
10 % and as IA pid decline again to 81 with later
sales at 96ai. Then. after huctuating frequently
within range of y per cent. after o'clock 1t rap
idly advanced to 9912, and them on sales OF 2'3Oo
aresfel to 9S and finally ended at SSl2 Ol course
the advances gave rise to renewal OF rumorS relat-
ing to the cutting of that famous " melon" which
the declines as quickly dispelled but the final rally
TO 9sl left the street entirely befogged In regard to
what IL all meant.
To-day several classes of st. Louis and
San Francisco stocks-cOmmon. preferred and
first preferred - were unusually active, al
though not recording much if any advance.
ST. LOUIS and Iron Mountain, however, made
a smart advance TO Isle and closed at l5is
Missouri, Kansas and Texas advanced to 5h, and
Jersey Southern sold to the extent OF 400 shares
at I3sQ11s Wabash declined from 23os TO 227s@

the preferred stock being offered down To
321o without sales. Tho stock of Canada
Southern to-day was called at the Board
for the first time, and opened at Ala,
afterward selling at 422i842l2. Considering
that this stock never represented single dollar Of
invested capital, and that the property has just
been recognized because of default on its bonds,
the price at which it has been opened would
seem TO fully represent all il is worth. But when
stocks cen be "bulled" as at present. with
passenger fares so disOrganized that passengers
from Cincinnati to New-York have the choice
of coming by the Pennsylvania Line at 81. or by

mouths when rates for freight almost equally

to do with its future price at the Stock Exchange
The usually active stocks, like Lake Shore. tho
Northwesterns and the st. Pauls, to-day were
alternately weak and strong, but generally
closed shade below opening figures. In the
coal stocks there were some queer movements.
Central of New-Jersey again became active and
