after, another Irishman came to the

were, went across the levee and
reused one of them up. Upon at

A DIME NOVEL IN A DREAM.

In q dream last week at Middleton,
Conn.,, man passed through trial
for murder which seemingly lasted
three weeks, in which great many
witnesses were examined and elo-
quent pleas hours long delivered. AT
last he was convicted and sentenced.
While on the scatlold protesting his
innocence to the last, the trap was
sprung; but the rope broke and he
ran away. He was pursued by the
people and the police, but he eluded
them until niyhttall, when he ven
tured to visit his home. There III
found his wife attacked by q gang Of
rut1ians. He killed one Of them and
drove the rest away. Then he awoke
and discovered he had been through
these terrible ordeals, all this suffer.
ing and anguish, and the three weeks
trial, while sleeping three minutes.

Kate Page, a beautiful young girl,
had hearing at Richmond recently,
on a charge of HOUSEKEEPING and lar
ceny. She appeared fashionably and
tastefully dressed. Mrs. Emily Wright
testified that the prisoner was seen
to enter the house of the witness,
and after her departure, $40 SO was
missing from a trunk in her room.
Two days after the house was again
entered and 500 50 was stolen. The
evidence of her entering the house
was not satisfactory, and he was dis
charged. But for the slight doubt in
her favor, Kate Page would have
been punished with stripes, as the
law makes it imperative on the police
justice to administer the lash on all
parties convicted in his court Of petit
larceny.

HOLD On We notice some of our
country exchanges are beginning to
display q disposition to censure the
Convention for what they term M
unnecessarily prolonged session. Be-
fore our friends 60 too far, lot them
consider the manifold duties Of the
Convention, the vital Importance Of
some Of the questions, and the length
of time constitutional conventions
usually hold. Then again the mate
terial composing this body is Of the
best in the State, and cannot be
swerved from what 1t concludes to be
right, just and honorable. They are
there TO represent the people, and We
believe they will overcome every ob.
stacle to do SO. No more time will
be employed than they find absolutely
essential in framing TN organic law
to meet the requirements of the pres.
ent day. Give the Convention time
