Maggie Mitchell recently related
the following dream to a newspaper
interviewer:
II dreamed on that memorable night
that l saw John Wilkes Booth lean
from the private box of the President
at Ford's Theater to the stage. He
was dressed as usual, with inimitable
taste and neatness. He wore short
Spanish cloak, lined with crimson
satin. AS he leaped on to the stage
from the box, hurriedly and excitedly,
bis cloak few open and disclosed a
little white poodle dog under hisarm.
He ran past me and made his exit by
the identical door through which he
did actually escape after committing
the horrible deed.
II was telling this dream next
morning to my sister Mary and party
of select friends while eating our
breakfast. | was engaged in telling
my dream, and before getting through
with the remarkable details the head
waiter came up to us with scared
look on his face.
I'VE were interrupted by his asking
US if we had heard the news. He then
said that President Lincoln had been
shot the night before; and in less
than ten minutes we we're
all electrified with the astounding
news that the assassin was John
Wilkes Booth, about whom we we're
talking when the head waiter first
interrupted our chat at the table.
1t made lasting impression on me.
| have often told it to my friends,
and it is strange that it has never
got into the papers, because every
one who heard me telling my dream
before we hoard the news from
Washington, considered it remarka-
bic and wondrous from its astound-
ing condolences"

Hollingshead, probably to ask what he
thought of the dodge. 1t is quite pos
sible that, instead Of helping her it
may do her harm, for English people
are rather touchy on the marriage
question, and if | may Judge
by what l see and hear,
they apparently feel that Mile. Sarah
has carried joke a little too far. Her
coffin still goes round with her every
where, and henceforth will be placed
under the charge of the happy hus-
band.

A Mixea Business.

he:.wording Of the ordinance max
ing it necessary in all cases Of viola
tons Of the sanitary laws OF the city,
to hold the occupant FIRST, then the
agent and lastly the owner, is causing
a number Of complaints. During the
past few weeks the tenants Of one or
two poulous buildings have been ar
rested for having sewers obstructed,
and in the case of one building, the
occupants have been arrested three
times in the last ten days for the same
offehse. 1t is a fact that the
sewers Of the building have been
obstructed by some one, but who it is
hard to determine. Fines Of three
dollars each were imposed on them
to day, to be RENTED if they moved
out by Saturday. One Of the tenants
will make test case by taking an
appeal to a higher court.
In this case the rather curious
spectacleis presented Of the landlord
coming into court and asking that his
tenants be forced to clean up or move
out. When they do move the land
lord will be arrested, and on failure to
comply with the regulations, will in
his case be fined.

A Dead Dogs Venom.

ADOS NOhAVAAe
A fine Newfoundland dog was exc.
cuted in the courtyard of the station
house this forenoon to appease the
vengeance of a lady whose little child
had been bitten by it. The lady, like
many other worthy people, entertained
the idea that unless the dog was
killed at once her child would be as
subject to hydrophobia as the dog
The owner had his choice of paying a
fine every day or having the dog
killed, and chose the latter course. He
was much attached to the poor brute,
and refused to look at it as it lay dead
in the yard. When the case was
called this morning, and the charge Of
keeping vicious dog read out, Presi-
dent Hadden asked the defendant
what be had to say: The dog is
dead" he replied. Then if he is
dead let him Co. he said, and thus
ended it.

last night, when in dram attic thunders
of sloQuenee he rep udiated the preva.
aens idea that she Democracy would fol-
u rnousns tolerate illegal voting, either
At siae primary or any other electian.
This sentiment was heartily seconded
by Sergeant Dolan who Was sure that
NO Democrat vSsed who had no right to
vote. Chief Engineer OF the Water
works Mstntirs Was also quite sure
tha tthe Democrats were a. white as
the driven snow and would scorn to
cast an illegal vote. The discussion
was brought in by the proposal of a
rule to prevent repeating ut primary
elections, which these distinguished
leaders of Democracy construed into .
reflection on the honesty Of their party.
There being no motion before the meet
ing,th eulogizing of the honesty of the
Democratic party was brought to close
bofore such other eminent Democrats
as, Mr. Patrick Gardiner, Mr.. Angus.

nounce in scathing terms the insinua-
lion that Democrats would connive at

Thinking that many of your fair

enjoyable affair that occurred in this

Mr.. Alexander Dill, Esq, 610 Tatnall

Thursday evening, April ~, at the
BRIDES parents near New Castle. The
marriage ceremonies were performed by
the Rev. M. A. Richards of St. Paul
M. E. church, Wilmington, AFTER
which the company including such
well known p 'ople as, W. B.McCoy and
wife, James Gross and wife, John Nc.
Nee and wife, William Newkirk and
wife, William. 81. Cam, Mrs. RICHTER
aud Messrs. Stafford and Gross. At 8
p. m. the company sat down to table
grooming with the substantials and del
icacies Of the season and must say
that they did full justice to this part
of the performance, which was more
enjoyed by the knowledge that every
course and dish we're cooked and baked
by the fair BRIDES mother which
looked as if the bride could supply her
husband with all kinds of home com
forts tor the table.
After the company had paid full
tribute to the contents of the table they
we're almost frightened out of their wits
