A Clergyman on the Bicycle.


The bicycle is not a toy or boys
plaaything. A large proportion of its
riders are grown men, and many of them
heads of families engaged in business
and professional life. There is nothing
common or unclean" about it. Its
cost, delicacy, grace and beauty must
prevent it ever becoming vulgar. 1t is q
genteman's fancy, and when once mas
tered can be used with as much grace
and ease as the ordinary saddle horse.
And ministerial dignity stands in no
greater peril of compromise than it does
by horseback riding. 1t has become
such common vehicle on the roads
about Boston as to no longer excite any
more remark than would greet
the appearance of any other hand
some turnout. Beside affording the
most exciting and pleasurabIe ex-
ercise, it is being used by many
of my ministerial friends in this locality
in much of their pastoral work. From
its back the pastor can enter the sick
room of the most sensitive patient, with
out the smell of the stable upon his gar
ments; and free from any of the ankle
ties which are apt to distract the mind
when FESTIVE horse stands for an hour
in ily-time jerking at his reins and i'm
patient at the delay of his lingering
master. If an exchange is to be made
with brother at a distance, and a Sun
day ride becomes NECESSITY, there is no
violence to be done the conscience by
taking public conveyance. but quietly
| gliding into the saddle of a noiseless
steed, you 60 spinning away in graceful
style to the distant church, and when
there no heated horse is to be groomed
or blanketed, but pushing your slim
steed into wood-shed or unused room,
all care is dismissed from the mind, for
he needs neither grain nor water, and
will await silently the movements and
pleasure of his owner.
know a gentleman who, as professor
in one of our best universities, was
rapidly breaking down through over
work and nervous prostration; he has
not been able to sleep more than two
hours consecutlvely in the twenty-four
for the last three years. He has been
using the bicycle about four months and
is now able tosleep soundly all the night
through, and eat as heartily as at any
time in his life.
Ihave another friend who is the work
ing editor of one of our largest church
papers, who was almost broken down
when he took to the bicycle few years
ago, who now does most heroic work all
the year round, sleeps sound, eats hearth
ly and has renewed his youth, as his
active, 1.-the step and vigorous articles
testify. He wheeled himself up the hill
again to perfect health. We have a
large number of clergymenin this vicini-
ty who are realizing the great benefit of
this modern centaur invigorator, and the
number is rapidly increasing. Req. S. l..

A Bear Panic in Vermont.

The village of Pownal was thrown in
to state of excitement on Wednesday
by the appearance of a hugh black bear
on the street At first it was sought to
drive the animal away with dogs, but
for considerable time the bear was
monarch of all he surveyed. Finally,
after smelling about the village to his
hearts content, he moved on up the rail
road track in the direction of North
Pownal. AT this juncture one Brown
appeared upon the scene, armed and
equipped to do battle. The first intima-
ton that the bear had of the appearance
of this new enemy was a bullet whist
ling about his ears. The bear turned
upon Brown but the latter sought cover
When the bear reached the railroad
bridge halfway between Pownal and
North Pownal he faced about and stood
upon his launches. But Brown had no
inclination to tackle the bear at close
quarters. Bracing himself alongside a
telegraph pole he took aim and pulled
the trigger. The ball took effect in a
vital portion of the bears anatomy
Brown had killed the bear, and the news
of his victory soon spread to both villa
ges. The body of the dead bear was
carried in triumph through the streets
of the village, but in the midst of the
general rejoicing two Italians arrived
upon the scene and, after discov-
ering the cause of the commotion broke
out in the most terrible TRADE of
blasphemy ever heard in the valley of
the Hoosac. Explanations followed,
when it was learned that the bear was
their property, and that they were travel
ing about the country exhibiting him.

Hydraulic Mining.

While dinner is preparing we go down
to see the process. The creek is drawn
down from its higher benches through
fumes into long iron pipes, which extend
to the base of the gold-bearing cliff. At
the ends of these pipes are " little
giants" through which the water is
projected with great force against the
cliff. These "little giants are some
what like fireman's nozzle, only very
much larger, They are swung on a
universal joint, which enables the di-
rection of the discharge to be easily de-
termined by slight movement of the
hand The force of the water is tre-
mendous. | struck one with piece of
iron and the blow rebounded as though
struck on rock. The force is like that of
cannon-shot. Before half dozen such
battering rams the rocky rampant falls in
scattering earth and stone. Busy men,
clad in rubber, rake away with their pc
culiar, strong sluice-forks the larger
fragment of rock; and the current of
reflowing water, bearing with it the rich
wet strata, is all caught in sluice-boXes.
In the rifles on the bottom of these
mercury is deposited, which seizes and
holds the particles of gold which are
carried down the current. Once each
week the mercury is carefully removed
from these rifles, and the precious metal
extracted by the buckskin bag and tho
rctort. Mining by this system, as dis
tinguished from placer mining, is gen
orally conducted by companies which are
cooperative, or by laborers employed by
some capitalist, or often by syndicate.

THE SYMPTOMS.
WITH HINTS on TREATMENT.

WITH HINTS ON TREATMENT.
First notice if he sits alone,
Ana mcdtates or writes a lot
Or talks in an distracted tone,
Or walks about at night lot.
Observe if he delights to wade
Through multitudes of "spoOney" verse;
And if he hints Il certain maid
Is peerless in the universe.
And also note if he awaits
The postman's coming eagerly,
And if he often VOWS the fates
Are smiling on him meagerly.
Observe if he appears to pine,
As though affairs We're grieving him,
And if he's disinclined to dine,
And appetite seems leaving him.
If ever and anon he groans
With sobs and signs mysterious,
And mutters in distracted tones,
Be sure his state is serious.
And II he raves of some sweet dove"
And gazes on a carte at times,
You'll know he's suffering from love,
Which much affects the heart at'nmes.
Your treatment must at first be mild
Don't rashly mar his "mOOnness,"
A mans as helpless rs child
When suffering from "spOOnness."
Loves patients ne'er like being chatfed,
Although they show inanity;
Just give him wcdlOck that's the draught
To bring him back TO sanity.

"A photograph of a unique character
was taken recently, at the Marble Palace
at Potsdam, near Berlin, The principal
figures in it are the Emperor William,
the Crown Prince, Prince William and
the infant Prince unchristened, whom the
imperial great-grandfather proudly bore
in his arms. The photograph thus pre-
sents the first four generations of the new
imperial house of Germany in a single
living group.

DRgAms AND TEErE CONDITIONS. 9,

Dreams are night thoughts, unchecked
by the Judgment and uncontrolled by the
will. 1t is not true that we do not reason
in dreams that the exercise of the judg.
ment is wholly suspended, and that the
will is entirely powerless and ceases to act.
These faculties are not altogether in abey-
anoe, but they doze while the subordinate
powers of the mind-those which play the
parts of picture carriers and record finders
-ransack the treasures of memory and
mingle together, ia the direct con.
fusio.,, old things and new. Ina
gination is not alive, but it re-
mains just enough awake to supply the
connecting links which give seeming con-
tinuity to those parts of the phantasma-
goria which we chance to remember on
recovering perfect self-consciousness, and
which, being remembered, we call
dreams" No one remembers more than
one dream, unless he has reused from sleep
more than once. This experience has led to
the inference that dreams only occur at the
moment or in the act of waking. There are
dreams which take place in the process
OF returning to conscleusness-f for
example, those instantaneous scenes
and spectacles which are suggested by
the sound or feeling that rouses the
dreamer but, in result of long and close
study of the subject with view to discover
the nature of dreams and laws of dream
ing, for medical purposes, in connection
with the treatment of sleeplessness, l am
persuaded that dreams occur in the course
of sleep and are wholly forgotten. That they
do not and cannot take place in deep sleep
10 prohabia hecause deem sleeD ia general
sleep, and when this state prevails the
subordinate faculties are sleeping, and the
pictures and records which compose dreams
are not disturbed. To understand dreams
we must understand sleep, and it is be-
cause the two phenomena have not hitherto
been studied together that SO little is gen.
orally known about either.-[P Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

SPECIAL TO THE EooRD-uNIoN
The Effect of The Veto.

SAN Francisco, April 7th.-The effect of
the veto continues the principal topic Of con-
verse tion in political circles. The Democrats
expect to capture many votes among the Re-
publicans of the dissalisf,d cless, but their
leaders propose to take no chances of walk
over on that account, and are making every
effort to effect solid organic ion. The fl st
feeling of dependency among the Republi-
cans is giving place to belief that the dispo-
sition shown by the Democrats in Congress
to obstruct further consideration Of the Chi
nese question will react against them.
It is reported that active steps are being
taken in the city to organize anti.coolie
clabs, having in view local action against the
Chinese, and soma indiscreet persons are re-
viving the talk of violent measures, and hint
ibg at armed organizations. l. is question
able how much backing there may be to
folly
