no telegraphs, we must remember, and
no railways in those days-not even
mail-carriers in those secluded districts.

pearance was told over the country at

whom the dream had been repeated re-
called it. Nowadays the matter would
only serve as good material for the re-
pOrters, but the men of those days still
believed that God took an oversight
even of their dreams. Might not this
be hint from himP The Rev. Charles
Wheeler, a Baptist clergyman of Wash

Pennsylvania and Virginia a genera

magistrate, father of the present Sem

in his narrower circle, drove over to
see the woman who had told the dream.
Without stating their purpose, they
took her and her husband, on pretense
of business, to the Piymire farm. 1t
was the first time in her life that she
had left her own county, and she was
greatly amused and interested. They
drove over the whole of the road down
which Rachel Plymire had gone.
"HaVe you ever seen this neighbor-
hoodP" one of them asked.
Never" she replied.
That ended the matter, and they
turned back, taking a little-used cross
road to save time. Presently the
woman started up in great agitation,
crying, "This is the place l dreamed
ofP' They assured her that Rachel
Plymire had not been upon that road at
all. 81 know nothing about her,"
she said, "but that girl l saw
in my dream came along here;
there is the path through which
the man came, and beyond that
turning you will find the log on which
he killed her." They did find the log,
and on the ground the stains of blood.
The woman, walking swiftly, led them
to the old mill and to the board under
which lay the stained clothes and the
hatchet. The girls body was found

for many reasons found her hard to

in q crowd of other men, and startled
her companions still more by pointing
out another young fellow from the West

Death Of the One Man Who Could Readi-
ly Declpher Horace Greeley's
ChirOgraphYs

Mr.. John G. Robinson, known as the
Lightning Proof-Reader, was found
dead in bed at his residencein in Williams
burg yesterday morning. Mr.. Robin.
son was born in this city forty years
ago. He attended school in the Seventh
Ward, and entered John A.. GraY's
printing establishment in Cliff street as
a " copy boy' when thirteen years old.
In 1854 he entered the Tribune proof.
room. In deciphering manuscrip pts he
was marvel. He read Richard Hill
dreth's, Horace Greeley's, Count Pu-
laski's, Gerrit Smiths, and other
Grabbed manuscripts almost at a glance.
When Mr.. Greeley himself was unable
to decipher one of his own written SEN
tences, he referred it to Mr.. Robinson,
who looked at it steadily for minute
or more, and made out its meaning. In
the municipal canvass of 1866 a letter
from Mr.. Greeley, written under the
Spingler House heading, was sent to the
night editor of the Tribune. 1t in
closed an editorial article in the same
handwriting, faVoring the election of a
well-known Republican politician, who
was running on an independent ticket.
It was the night before election. The
article was put in type. In asserting
the copy before reading the proof the
manuscript fell under the eyes of Mr..
Robinson. Something about it at
tracted his attention. He examined it
as paying teller would examine a
doubtful bill. "That's not the old
mans handwriting" he said. He was
so confident that it was forgery that
he called the editor's attention to it,
and the article was suppressed. So
skillful was the forgery that on the
following day Mr.. Greeley said that
had he not known different, he would
have taken it to be his own handwrit-
ing.
Mr.. Robinson's rapidity in reading
proof-sheet aloud was unparalleled,
and his enunciation was perfect.
Timed by the writer, he has pronounced
696 words in a minute. This is al the
rate of 1,760 per hour. The words
were pronounced in a monotonous tone
of voice without accent, and came
from his lips as though sent from the
wheels of a machine. Long before the
death of Mr.. Greeley, Mr.. Robinson
was given charge of the Tribune proof
room. He left that journal in 1875,
and accepted similar position on the

DISAPPOINTED HOPE.

She was waiting at the lattice,
Where the snOwy-plumed clematis
Translated fOr, her gratis
What the breezes sung and sighed:
And the dainty tendernesses
OF the sunbeams on her tresses
Left her traced in the Caresses
OF the golden morning tide.
The linnets were a cooling,
And the dapper bees a-wooing,
And the dews were interviewing
All the flower fays;
While lightly from the dingle,
The zephyr, lone and single,
Came up to intermingle
In the leaf-entangled maze.
She waits another coming,
Her heart its riches summing,
Till suddenly a drumming
From the gravel walk arose,
A hope triumphant filled her,
And clear the words that thrilled her:
