A Wonderful Dream.


Interview with Maggie M1tchell.l
81 dreamed on that memorable
night that I saw John Wilkes
Booth leap from the box of the
President at Ford's theatre to the
stage. He was dressed, as usual
with inimitable taste and neat
ness. He wore a short Spanish
cloak, lined with crimson satin.
As he leaped on the stage from the
box, hurriedly and excitedly, his
cloak flew open and disclosed q
little white poodle dog under his
arm. He ran past me and made
his exit by the identical door
through which he did actually
escape after committing the borrid
deed.
II was telling this dream next
morning to my sister Mary and a
party of select friends while eating
our breakfast. I was engaged In
telling my dream, and before get.
ting through with the remarkable
details the head waiter came up to
US with a scared look on his face.
1--WE were interrupted by his
asking us if we had heard the news.
He then said that President Lin
coin had been shot the night be.

we were all electrified with the as

was John Wilkes Booth, about
whom we were talking when the
head waiter first interrupted our
chat at the table. 1t made a last.

THE late Mark Hopkins, one OF
the leading spirits of the Central
Pacific Railway Company, paid
Los Angeles county a visit some
five or six years ago. The South
ern Pacific at that time was only
completed as far as Indlo. After
riding and being driven over Los
Angeles and San Bernardino coun.
ties, and taking in the railway to
its then Eastern terminus, Mr..
Hopkins turned to gentleman
who had been largely instrumental
in taking him over this section,
and said: ~ had no idea of the ex.
"tent or capabilities of Los Ange-
"les county until this visit. While
ri shall soon pass away, it is quite
"likely that you may live to see
"Los Angeles county contain a

gentleman addressed acknowledges
to having passed fifty, Mr.. Hop
kins's idea of the future of this
county was evidently far more
roseate than the imagination OF

ever occupied the tripod hereabouts

the last census gave us a fraction
short of SO, 900 souls, Mr.. Hopkins's
estimate would give US very sat

The reputation of BlocksOood for
originality is maintained III the
latest number by an amusing
sketch entitled IA Fixed Period"
1t is the story of an attempt to Sc
cure the adoption In "Britannula,"
an island in the South Pacific, of
law, "The Fixed PERIOD" by
which, after slxty-seven and a half
years OF life, every person should
DO gently put out of the world.
Certain veins are to be opened,
"while the departing ones should,
under the Influence of morphine,
be gently entranced within u warm
BATH" The theory is that, by the
abolition of the miseries, weakness
and imbeeility of old age, by the
prearranged ceasing to live OF those
who would otherwise become old,
much suffering would be avoided.

BaIky Horses.

A correspondent of the Rtralist
writes: Many and varied have
been the plans, both kind and
hard, tried for the cure of badness
in horses, by parties troubled, de-
layed and provoked in this way.
Having had considerable expert
ence In the handling of such
horses. 1 have found the following
good remedy. 1t is easily and
quickly performed and has never,
so far as l am aware. failed to
cure:
Two persons are required for the
trial. One should hold the reins
while the other fastens q short
strap or rOpe-a halter strap, al
ways at hand, answers the purpose
well-just below the fetlock of
fore leg, then, going forward, he
should pull on the strap until the
horse lifts his foot; continuing to
pull, the foot will be brought for
ward and set down little in adj
vance of the other. The horse,
thus thrown out of natural posi-
ton, will move forward to gain his
equilibrium. Another pull will
cause another move forward. This
may be repeated several times, or
until the horse moves without
having the foot pulled. Usually,
the first or second pull will start
him. Three or four such remind
ers at most will do the work.
When the start is made it is gen.
orally an easy one. Sometimes,
however, it has the appearance Of
the horse being ia hurry to get
away from the provoking man
with the strap; therefore steady
hand should manage the reins. I
have never known a horse under
this treatment to kick or to act
mean in any other way than to
try to run. When he does start off
the hold on the strap should be
given up. After having gone
twenty-five or more yards the
horse should gently be brought TO
stand and the strap removed.
Then try to start him without the
strap. If he does not move off at
once apply it again. He will soon
tire OF being thus annoyed, and
will give you no further trouble in
this way.
