The Mute Appeal.

This subject represents a beautiful Italian girl, dressed in
her native costume. She is what is known as a Street Music
ian, and earns her livelihood by her violin and voice. She
has played and sang 10 the crowd, and has quietly folded her
right arm over and around her violin, while her left arm is
Outstreched, thus mutely appealing to the public to give her
what they may. 1t is a lovely picture. The girl, though only
a stroliing player, is rarely beautiful-the sweet, beseeching
expression of The face could but make the most soTdid find the

A Sad Case.

Miss Grace Miller is we'll known AZ .
young lady Of culture and refinement,
and as a member Of one Of Cincinnati's
oldest and wealthiest families. Her ac-
complishments and charms have made
her a fayoritc wherever she is known.
For some time past she hns been afflicted
with q soreness Of the eyes that threat
ened serious trouble, if not permanent
blindness, and has been treated by
skillful optician Of this city. On recent

she did not make her appearance. and
her maid was sent to call her. When

Remarkable Dream.

for authenticity of the following:
Between six and seven o'clock on

dent was shot, a colsred man living
here, meeting QUE Of our citizens, "a
very reliable man, said: l had dream
last night which / can't get of my mind.

shot twice ; l SAW him fall and the
blood Aow from bis wound. The man
that shot him was dressed 10 blue, and
behind him was a man IN gray You
will observe this dream Was told two
hours or more before the shooting"
The yeri6cation of this dream makes
it really a matter for wonder and
speculation. OF the truth Of what is
related, there can be no doubt. The
dream was told more that two hours
before the shooting occurred, aud was
heard by several persons of undoubtsd
yeracity. 1t is net the first time, how
ever, that remarkable occurrences have
been foreshadowed in dreams. The
