Yesterday morning, very early, they
again entered the residence, determined
to give it thorough search. They again
went through the lower story, and,
mounting the stairs, ran afoul of that
locked room This time they asked for
no key, but discovered, by climbing out
upon 4 gallery roof, they could
reach the room through window.
One of them did so, but alas the sick man
had fed and the officers were disgusted
From all the reporter could learn, Bland
ford left hisresidence early Monday even
ing, and ii is said drove of in a buggy ac-
companied by some other person. The
general opinion prevails he is still in the
city, and officers were on the lookout for
him last night. His fleeing from justice
has been telegraped 10 st. Louis, New
Orleans, Houston, Galveston, San AntO-
Mo and other points, and il he has really
left town it is more than likely he will he
arrested before many days.

Van Veltman's Dream.
From the Varginia City Enterprise

1T am worried about a dream I had last night" said Van Welt man yesterday morning, us he seated himself in a broad bar room chair after swallowing his matutinal cocktail. "I never had any such dream before. Every. thing seemed plain and reasona. ble enough in the dream, but now I cannot separate the sense from the nonsense"
 Receiving some encouragement Mir. Veltman proceeded to relate his vision as follows:

the Oriental belief iu her inyiuci- bility, and she may discover that it will be more 10 her profit 10 es- tabsish faith in her integrity. This mental awakening will ben- eft the United States by opening up grand possibilities to our com merce. Colonization on a large scale will also follow as a matter of course, and the unpeopied ter ritories of South America may yet come under the dominion Of the Oriental mind. Of one thing we may feel certain-nameiy, that the mental awakening of the Orient, which contains one-half of the population of the globe, will produce results that will as- tonish the profoundest thinkers of our civilization. The entire human race is fast falling into line for grtnd advance that will pat all former achievements to the blush. Mental fermentation is now well nigh universal in Russia, Germany, France, Ireland in fact, throughout the world. For the first time in the history of the human race, its brain pow CT is being universally awakened. A similar awakening started our own race upon line of develop ment that has given us our mod. ern civilization, and we have right to expect the same or simi- lar results in all parts of the world. The pessimist will croak, and discover only signs of ruin; but the optimist, who believes in law, in man and God, will hail this dawnjng of new age with joy.

The Irish Situation.

At the outset of ParnellS car reer as an agitator he inspired among the conservative classes of Great Britain that species of aver sion that are felt toward vermin that are loathsome rather than dangerous. No one regarded the agitation as formidable, or him. self as a leader to be dreaded. Even down to the date of Bea consfeld's withdrawal from pow, CT he seemed, in Tory eyes. no more than the leader of a hand full of brawling, obstreperous Irishmen, numbering, all told, but nineteen representatives in Parliament. Now, however, it is not possible to look at the situa- tion in Ireland, as it has been de- veloped in part by the agitation, but mainly through the effect of the famine, in any but serious light. Thoughtful English states men are beginning to realize that sending troops through the dis affected districts and other re. pressive measures will furnish no perm anent cure for the difficulty. A considerable portion of the English press, including some in- fuential journals of Conservative leaning, depIore the defeat of the Compensation bill in the House of Lords as an event calculated to involve serious consequences. The "Pall Mall Gazette" advo- cates conciliatory policy, and declares that instead of persecut- ing Parnell an attempt must be made to disarm the hostility of the constituency he represents. Meantime the Fenians seem to imagine that they are offered a fresh opportunity for an appeal to force by the present disturbed condition of things, but we trust there are few leaders possessing any influence with the people
 who are not cool and sensible enough to understand the folly of any attempt to accomplish their object by armed insurrectiou.s The thing that now begins to look feasible and capable of being att tained by peaceful agitation is . thorough revolution in the lanS
 laws, not only in Ireland, but

The Beautiful Dust.

Oh, the dust, the beautiful dust, Borne on the wings of each passing gust, Dashed in the face like the pltlless hand Of scorn and contumely, the drifting sand, Lifting,
 Grinding along Beautiful dust, you are going it strong. Dust in the houses and dust in the street; Dust in the eyes of the people you meet; Dust in your mouth, in your ears, in your nose, Dust through your hair, down your back, through your clothes, The dirtiest,
 Dingiest,
 Dustiest day Since Nebuckadnezzar went ont to eat hay Once l was good, but the terrible dust Plastered my eyes, and with other I cussed; :; Once l was meek, but the heathenish dirt Filled all the vacancy under my shirt. Hang itl
 Smother the breeZei Raising sand bank whenever you sneeZe! Hew strange it would be, when the night comes down, And spreads it dark mantle all over the town How strange it would be if they'd find me here With nothing exposed but foot and an ear, Painting,
 Choking,
 Dying alone! Too dirty for prayer and too lazy to groan- Prone in the street so often have cussed, With bed and shroud of the beautiful dust

Chilean Barbarities.

It is true that Peru provoked the war in which she is now en- gagged by an act of peridy, in offering her services as an arbi- trator between Chile and Bolivia when she had made a secret treaty with Bolivia offensive and defensive against Chile. It can not be denied that the Peruvians have on their part conducted the war like savages, nor that they are now maintaining it like fools in the face of inevitable and over- whelming defeat. It is true that the Government and ruling class of Chile have reached a higher point in civilization than any other Spanish-American State, and that she has had in this war more of the sympathy of neutral nations than her antagonists. But all this is no excuse for the atro. cious conduct of her armies at Tacna and Africa, where, after defeating the PeruvIans, the sol diers of Chile perpetrated brutal ities in the indiscriminate mur. der of unarmed men, and of wo. men and children, which should bring the blush of shame to the cheek of Sioux or Comanche h. dians. It is fair in civilized war to destroy the towns. farms and habitations of an enemy. But even the modern Turks recognise the right of prisoners to protec- tiop, and do not by wholesale and in cold blood massacre the unarm- ed men and violate the defense less women who fall into their hands by the fortune of battle. This is what the ChiIeans have done and repeated. At Tacna not a wounded Peruvian or Bolivian was found on the field the day after the battle. All were slain. Women and children were mur- dered or outraged. At Africa it was worse. All the prisoners were murdered, and fifty who took refuge in the United States Consulate were dragged out and killed.
 The officers say they could not restrain their troops. They are, nevertheless, with their Govern ment, responsible for these crimes against civilized warfare. And, whilst admitting their inability to control their soldiers, they are now preparing, on grand scale, to repeat the brutalities of Tacna and Africa upon the city of Lima. It contains about 15O,000 inhabi- tants, including 10000 foreigners. More than half are women. Three-fourths must be women and children under the fighting age. The great bulk of the property belongs to the foreign CTS. The army of the Chileans intended for the sack of this city is from 3O,OOO to 45,000 strong. The Peruvians have no power for successful resistance. There is no doubt of the ability of the Chileans to take Lima. There ought to be a concert of action among the civilized powers of the world who have subjects and cit1- zens, with their families and property, in the city exposed to the vengeance and rapacity of such an army.

 All was cold and strange ana un- comfortable. Presently l saw the new moon, which looked some- ! what homelike and familiar, so I went over to it and seated my self on the curve of it, where there was a comfortable resting place for my back, thinking I'd take things easy and look about for time.
 "I had hardly got comfortably fixed before a rather brisk-Iooking parsonage, with paper cap on his head, wearing a leather apron and carrying a monkey wrench in his hand, appeared before me
 "Just arrived?' he said quite briskly.
 "'Just this minute landed,' I said.
 "Well,' said the man, who looked like an engineer, or some kind of naachinist, 'this is no place for idlers; you must get to york;
 "'To york; said [ feebly. Am I not in heaven?'
 "'Heaven! I don't know what your ideas of heaven may be, but can tell you that you are in the great Workshop of the Universe. No idlers here I can assure you.'
 "'I-I thought I had come here to rest,' stammered l.
 "'You have come to the wrong place if you are looking for rest. You see here are the axles of all the worlds to grease, fires to be kept up in the suns, and oceans of nebulous matter to be looked after and worked into asteroids and things. Lots of work to do, and just now we are very short. handed-been extending our regular work out into space.' "'Just then I was startled at the sight of an immense fiery ball, that came rushing along with terrible roaring sound, and which left behind a tremendous trail of sparks. Heavens ? cried IT. "What is that-a comet? "A comet,' said the parsonage before me, T believe IS what you have been taught to call it a comet, but you'll find out exactly what it is before you have been here long. However, I may as well tell you that what you see is a special car of one of the bosses. There are millions of them in all who go about through inter-stellar space inspecting things-millions of them-and to me they seem to be passing every five minutes. but where you came from they only seem to be visible only at long intervals
 "'Where is the big boss of all? Does he, too, have his carp said IT.
 "'No you fool! Do you want me to knock you off the horn of that moon? No one here has ever seen that Great Head Centre.' "'But isn't this heaven:
 "'Why do you keep asking that question? Havn't I told you that you are now in the big Workshop of the Universe? It was heaven where you came from but you did not know it. You'll have no such good times here, I can tell you. You'll not be al lowed to loaf up here and do as you please. There you had a body and feeling to tell you when anything hurt you-to tell you l when v0I1 WAS tired and so On Down there you have nothing to do but to make yourself happy to enjoy yourselves-but like z
