THE LIME-KILN CLUB.
Brother Gardner Discourses Rt Length on
 Dreams and their Signihcatiou.
R. J. BuRDErTE.

"De odder mornin' ole Uncle Jerry Blossom rushed inter my cabin wid his eyes as big as sassers, said Brother Gardner, as hush came OCT the hall, and Samuel Shin threw his last apple core at the bald head of Elder Toots. "I reckoned dat he had struck $7 in policy, or dat his ole woman was sick, or dat his boy Moses had fallen of de roof, but was mistaken. De ole man had galloped ober to tell me his dream. He had dreamed of seein' dun-cull'd mule chase a cream-cull'd hoss aroun' yaller-cull'd d ban, and he couldn't make out whether he was to come widin one of hittin' $500 in lottery or his ole woman was to break her leg. "Now, gem'len, had few remarks to git off some two vars ago on the sub- tick of dreams, an desiah to express 8 few mo- am giben to understan' dat some of our moas' prominent members believe ill dreams an deir course ac- cordin'. Ize an ole man, an ize had about millyon dreams since began bizness. Oars sunthin in 'em, but not much.
 "To dream dat you am crossin' | muddy stream to steal turnips signifies dat you had better go to work an airn some taters.
 "To dream dat you are trabblin' long a dusty highway an lookin' for lost pocketbook wid $50 i. signifies dat you am much mo sartin to be trowed outer de house fur non-payment of rent dan you am to pick up asingle nickel.
 "To dream dat you am ridin' white hoss past red ban, an dat 8 gray haired man comes out and pints blue umbrella at you signifies dat de flour barl am empty, an dat you had better hunt fur work.
 "To dream dat you sot on de fence an saw a funeral purceshun go past, and dat de man who drive de hearse had Q glass eye, signifies dat you owe de gro- cer $3. 75, an have bin dodgin' him fur de las three months.
 "To dream of seein' woman walkin' ober' creek on suspension Drldge signifies dat your ole woman can't go to church fur de want of shoes. "Dar am lots of udder dreams dat mean lots of odder fings, but desc am far samples of de lot. If dar am any body in dis hall idiot huff to believe dat he kin lay on his back on an ole straw bed an groan an grunt an dream six weeks inter de fucher, now am de time fur him to pick up his hat an bid us good bye
 "An' one fing mo; understan' dat sartin members of dis club am in de habit of seein' ghosts. I doan' specify any names, but I wish to say to tho hull convenshun dat de werry fust one of you who see ghost or cotches sight of . spook will be cantered outer dis club so fast dat de tracks left behind you on de stars will be smokin' hot. We will now pick up de reg'lar progammy of dc , evenin' an rush bizness. "-Detroit FFes Press.

Ar CHATHAM JUNCTION, where the great railroad systems of London connect, the rails lie together like the wires of piano. Sixteen hundred trains 8 day run over them. There is no shrieking of whistles or changing of bells. They keep their signals for their officials, and outsiders must expose themselves at their own risks. A tunnel way for passengers con- nects the whole, so that no one is al- lowed to cross the rails except the em- ployees, who grow foolhardy now and then and come to grief. On the average, one man is killed every six weeks.

WANTED A CANNON.

During the Indian war of 1882 Gen eral Sherman paid visit to Camp Apache, in Arizona. While there huge redskin, who was captain of the scouts, followed the general wherever he went. and repeatedly begged as present one of the small cannons standing on the parade ground. Finally the general inn patiently turned to the Indian. exclaim- ing:
 "What do you want of the cannon, anyway? Do you want to kill my sol diers with it?"
 "No," replied the Indian, in his gut tural voice; "want to kill cowboys with it. Kill soldiers with club" Frontiersmen will be quick to find the moral of this true story.

A LIFELONG DEBAUCH,

"No, I'm obliged to you, I don't drink" replied Judge Gibbons, of Lan- caster, Pa., in the barron of the Girard House. "I am sixty-three years old and have never used tobacco in any form, never have tasted malt or spirituous liquors, never have been at horse race or attended circus or theatre" |"
 "Yours has been an exemplary life, judge"
 'Well, don't know that it has," con- tinued the judge, sadly. 1T am, after all, no better than other men; for the

TOO MUCH WATCHING.

A party of fashionable young ladies' and gentlemen went picnicking. Thoy came across gswky- looking young fel- low tending flock of sheep. A Miss Impertinence, the most forward CO., quette of the party, approached the shepherd and asked him if he had a wife. "No." he replied. "All right, then, I'll marry you. "No," was the rough shepherds answer again. One of the young dudes then addressed the shepherd seriously and told him that if he married the young lady he would re- ceive handsome sum of money, would have everything good to eat and drink every day, and would not need to tend sheep any more. The young shepherd, however, laughed softly and said: "That may all be, but it don't take with me. But tell me why you don't want to marry?" queried the vexed coquette; "there must be reason" "Of course there is Q reason, miss, " was the shep- herd youths reply. "If l were to take you, I'd have more to watch than all those sheep. "-LouisUitLe Journal.
 HE WASN'T RISING MUSICIAN.
 A young man had sat at the piano one evening and bored the majority of the guests for two hours, and one man was bold enough to ask who he was.
 "Why, sir" was the indignant answer, "that's MT. Allegro, rising young mu- sician of our city"
 "Oh, is he?"
 "Yes, sir. he is."
 "Well, don't believe it, for I'll swear I've been waiting here all evening to see him rise, and he has kept right there at that poor, helpless piano as if he was nailed to the stool and clinched.

UNITY OF ACTION.

If the machine politicians are to
be defeated in their plans and the
control of this State is to be wrested
from them, some organization and
unity of action will be required on
the part Of the people. The rings
are thoroughly organized, and will
present a solid front. The people
must be not less united united. Let
no one suppose that the work of de-
featiug the ring machine politicians
is to be child's play. The struggle
will be a fierce one on their part.
We suggest that when the dele
gates are chosen to the next State
Convention that the different Par
ishes see to it that none but men
who are known to be devoted to the
interests of the State are chosen, and
then with the single purpose of secu.
ring the best men for the State Off
ces without regard to locality or
other considerations than their fit
ness for place. Patriotism should be
controlling influence, and men should
not b. permitted to disturb the har.
mony that must prevail amongst the
delegates of the people if they are to
beat the machine politicians.

TIE New Orleans States says:
The political leaders and "bosses" OF
the Democratic party in this city
are in quandary. If those persons
charged with election frauds and
stafting ballot boxes are convicted,
it will relegate their leaders to pri
vate life. If they al not, the peo-
pie conclude that the party as now
organized and conducted can no Ion
ger be trusted, and there will be a
re organization upon plan that will
eliminate the present prominent ele-
ment and the Substitution Of new
and better leaders.

A Perfect Remedy in Twenty Diseases
AsHFIELD, Mass.

AsHF1ELD, Mass.
I am verging on eighty years, and
deem it my duty to suffering humanity
to say that my long life is due to
Brandeth's Pills which have been nv
sole medicine for half century. I
know the last forty three years Of nv
life is owing solely to their use. Your
Pills saved me many times after the
best medical skin in several States had
given me up as hopeless. l have had
many converts to purgation with Bran
dreth's Pills. and have seen them per-
form almost miracles of cure. For
children, few doses have cured mea-
sizes, scarlet fever, and wboopiug cough.
In all female troubles and weakness I
have never known them to fail. In,
adult males l have known them to cure
the worst cases of dyspepsia, rheuma.
tlsm. kidney diseases, dysentery aud
diarrhoea; even dropsy, paralysis, and
apoplexy have yielded to a persistent
course of Brandreth's Pills. In fact I
have found them the true Life Elixir.
They act as continual preventive
againt the effects Of time, disease and
labor.

efforts to save other occupants in the
building, which had taken fire.
When the flames burst forth she
could have easily escaped, as she was
on the ground floor, but instead of
doing this she rushed up stairs and
gave the alarm to the operatives, all
of whom escaped. As the brave and
noble woman started to return she
was suffocated on the stairway, which
had caught fire while she was in the
upper story. The New York Herald
pays glowing tribute to her unset.
