A STARTLING VISION.

John w. Benson, a colored doctor,
residing on North Eighth street,
Philadelphia. and well known in New
York. has had a vision which he in
sists portends bloody times for 1884
Recently a reporter was met on
Eighth street by the doctor. who said
that. while not a visionist or dream
cr, he had nevertheless had some re-
markable experience in the vision
business. He had a vision last sum
mer in which Republican defeat in
Ohio was portrayed in an unmistak
able manner, and in other matters
his visions had been equally sue
cessful.
1T was o'clock last Monday
morning" said the doctor, proceeding
with his vision story, that the Wis.
ion appeared to me. l was neither
awake nor asleep. SO it was not a
dream. 1t seemed 70 me about 10
o'clock in the morning, and two suns
appeared in the sky. The under sun
was blood red and seemed stationary.
The sky was all in a blaze. and | saw
vast army of white men gathering
in the southwest. A minute later a
colored army appeared and at its
head was General Grant, on whose
saddle cloth were the figures 1881
Firing began and terrible battle en-
sued, at the close of which the white
army stacked their arms Hundreds
Of colored women and children now
appeared. and in their midst rose a
beautiful woman bearing a banner,
on which appeared figure of the
Goddess of liberty Just then ter
rible storm arose and the vision was
swept away"
WAS this all the vision?"
Yes, and it was enough, so far as
am concerned, as was in terrible
state of excitement
What does it portend!'
Just what it indicated-a terrible
war in 1884 have never been mis-
taken yet"
The reporter suggested that prob
ably the vision was produced by too
hearty midnight supper, but the
doctor hooted this down. denying that
he was addicted to midnight repasts.

A WILD MAN IN IDAHO.

Two cowboys. who just came il
from Camas Prairie. relate an exper
fence which will probably go great
way toward re-establishing the pop
ular faith in the wild mems tradi
ton. On the first day of this month
two cowboys, searching for cattle
lost in the storm. passed over some
lava crags and were startled by sud
denly Y seeing before them the form
SO often described to them. They
were so terrified that they sat upon
their horses, looking at it in dread.
Mastering courage and their revolv
ers they dismounted and gave chase,
but the strange being skipped from
crag to crag as nimbly as noun
tain goat. After an hours pursuit
the young men were so completely
worn ont that they both laid down.
seeing which the wild man gradually
approached them and stopped on the
opposite side of the gorge in the lava,
from which point he regarded the
cowboys intently.
The wild man was considerably
over six feet in height. with great
muscular arms which reached to his
knees. The muscles stood out in
great knots and his chest was as
broad as that Of Il bear. Skins were
twisted about his feet and ankles
and wolf skin about his waist All
parts of his body to be seen We're
covered with long black hair. while
from his head the hair flowed over
his shoulders in coarse tangled rolls
and mixed with a heavy beard. His
face was dark and swir hy and his
eyes shone brightly, while two tusks
protruded from his mouth. His
fingers were the shape of claws, and
he acted very much like a wild ami
nal which is unaccustomed to seeing
man. The boys made all kinds of
noises, at the sound of which he
twisted his head from side to side
and moaned apparently he could
not give them any back talk" SO
wearying of eyeing him, the boys
fired their revolvers. whereupon the
wild man turned a double somersault
and jumped fifteen feet to low
bench and disappeared. growing ter
ribly as he went
1t is supposed that this is the
same apparition that has so often
been seen before. The man. no
doubt. does as the Indians did for
subsistence, and lives on camas roots,
which grow wild by acres, and he,
no doubt, kills young stock, as many
yearlings and calves disappear mys
teriously and nothing but skeletons
of them are ever found. HALEY

BIG PROFITS OF STREET BEGGING.

Happening to pass through Four
teenth street yesterday afternoon. l
noticed an intelligent looking man
with an empty sleeve. He was beg
glng-a common enough sight in
New York-but this beggar was an
esthete. He was sitting beside a
huge music box that probably cost
500, and in front of it was a hand
some poodle dog carefully combed
and trimmed, and in its mouth a
small basket. The man had a sol
dier's cap in his hand. and the group
was an effective and artistic one. Gu
rious to see how the dodge succeeded
L stood aside for few minutes, and
saw fully half dollar dropped in
pennies and nickels by the ladies
who We're passing, all evidently at
tracted by the fine face of the beggar,
the cleanlo looking dog and the music
al strains of the tireless box as it
jlngled out an aria from Sonnam-
6utd. No one stopped to consider
that beggars are not supposed to be
able to buy 500 music boxes, but
every tender hearted woman dropped
her mite and passed on, thinking she
had performed charitable action.
Two hours afterwards l passed the
beggar, and found him still scooping
in the nickels at a furious rate. No
doubt he realized eight or ten dollars
before sunset. There is story ex-
tant of a man who tried unsuccess-
fully to get employment, and at
length sat down on the curbstone, ex-
hausted by fatigue and hunger. He
fell asleep and his hat slipped from
his head and lay upturned be-
side him. When he awoke he
found nearly a dollar in small
coin in the hat, and seeing that
begging was profitable, sat on the
same spot day after day with his hat.
So we'll did he succeed that he was able
to go out West and purchase farm.
1t is quite true, and the man is liv-
ing still. In fact, begging is pro-
fession, and men and women stand
in the dust asking for aims who are
really richer than those who bestow
them. The Superintendent of Po-
lice once pointed out an old man
to me who, he said, owned a whole
row of dwellings up town, the rents
of which were over $4,000 per an
mum, and all this valuable property
has been paid for by begging.IN.

est in his invention or discovery, IL
he has not quite concluded to accept
the offer, as he believes there are
millions instead of thousands in it.
The opinion of the few who have
been admitted to part of the secret,
nearly all of whom are practical
liquor men, is that it will supplant all
other processes of whisky making,
being both cheaper and more expedi-
tious. 1t will also, it is feared,
largely increase the army of drinkers
as the product can be carried with
out fear of detection and made i'm
mediately available wherever water
can be obtained.
AS soon as the inventor receives
his patent he will make the entire
process public, and at the same time
make arrangements to go into the
business of manufacturing by the

is assured of all the financial backing
he may require.-I Special dispatch to

RoBEsPIERRE's DEATH.

Was the wound of Robespierre. re-
ceived on the famous Neuf Thermi-
dor, selfinhicted, or was it due to the
gendarme Media? Theirs states dis
tinctly: "Robespierre decided at
length to put an end to his career, and
found in this pass to which he was
given courage to kill himself. He
discharged a pistol at his head, but

So carefully written are the articles

mooted of late in the English as well

CONSUMPTION OF MATCHES.

1t would require. perhaps, the in
tellect of baggage smasher to wres-
tie with the statistics OF matches That
60,000G00 are burned every day in
Europe seems below the mark. Some
firms, such as Messrs. Dixon. at Man
chester. turn out 9,OUO.O0O day. and
many i'll London 2,000,00O to 5000.
600, The consumption of phosphor
ous for the purpose in England and
France shows that about 25O.O00.000
a year are turned ont in these two
countries alone. In America, where,
as in France, there is tax on
matches, by which great grist is thus
brought to the mill, the stamps show
an out turn of about 00,000,0OO,000.
so at present match making is not
the speciality of America, though the
tax yields about 100000 year to
the revenue. There is a great pro
test, however, against this tax in the
United States. which amounts to I'D
per box. though not for the same alb
surdly sentimental reasons that were
here urged in 1880. Its opponents
say that it has become Govern
ment monopoly, and that there is as
much wire pulling'on the subject as
there was in democracy on the
part of Mr.. Radcliffe on the Ocean
Steamship Company. The industry
is open to all, no doubt, but the Gov
ernment, by allowing 10 per cent. re
duction Oh stamps bought in large
quantities and taking bonds for pay
ment and six months credit, enables
the big man to trade on Government
capital; this they allege has driven
all competition out of the field. No
one, they say, can stand against the
Diamond Match Company, which Is
powerful in Congress. In France,
too, the monopoly imposed by the
law of September 4, 1871, is at pres.
ent groaned at. and is the subject OF
half the Jokes in the French comic
papers; but no one doubts its reason
ableness if the matches were good.
Four matches to one cigarette is, as
every one knows, too often neces-
sity in France; but there the manu-
facture is also in the hands OF a prl-
vate company, and the revenue Is
not collected by stamps.

One of the most important trade
changes of recent years results from
the introduction of refrigerating cars
on railroads and from the facility
with which slaughtered animals are
shipped from one side of the CONT
nent to the other. The effect on
Eastern butchers of this new phase
of the beef traffic has been little less
than disastrous. Up to this time the
profitable fruits of the discovery have
Injured to the western markets and
western dealers, that is to say those
of the Mississippi and the lakes.
But now comes one of the great firms
of Chicago and says that further
west the empire of the butchers takes
its way. Strengthening is to be done
where the cattle are fed or pastured.
The plains of Texas and Wyoming
are to be made the slaughtering
ground. Such is the influence OF
discovery and development that no
safe prediction, it.. seems. can be
made as to what form the traffic in
meats will take, even in the future.
A revolution as between the Missis-
sippi valley and the east has oc-

following this achievement comes
the announcement that the revolution
is to roll still further westward and

SIR GARNET DECEIVED BY THE
COMET. One of Sir Garnets anec-
dotes about Tel-el- Kebir is not yet
out of date. He had timed the nj ght
attack to begin at fixed hour, and
reports to be brought him from the
different bodies of troops that they
had actually reached their positions.
Surrounded by his staff he sat wait
ing on horseback, and in his nervous
impatience he was continually pull
ing out repeater he carried, and
ringing the hour. The night was ex-
tremely dark, the repeater very old,
and Sir Garnet frequently grew
anxious lest the moment for attack
should pass before everything was
ready The staff said what they
could to reassure their chief, and
somebody shrewdly suggested that
perhaps the old repeater was too
fast. Just then faint light dawned
in the eastern sky, and grew swiftly
brighter, and before long the horizon
and all that quarter of the heavens
were radiant with the hues of early
morn. Sir Garnet threw down his
watch with an exclamation of despair
and, turning to his staff, said: ''You
see. gentlemen, it is too late; it will
be broad daylight before The troops
can reach the enemy's lines" But,
why?" queried one bold man; 1.-The
hour fixed is not passed" 1T must
be past" retorted Sir Garnet, "look
at the light in the sky" YES" re-
sponded the bold man, Il see the
light; it is the comet" London Corr.
