Assisted Emigration.

Our Government has at last taken decided
action to prevent Great Britain from un-
loading her paupers in this country. Having
tried every possible means, except those of
humanity and justice, to restore peace to
Ireland under her tyranny, Great Britain
began some months ago to ship the poor Of
that country - this in the hopc that by re-
ducing the population there would be less
demand for land, fewer paupers to support,
and an element of political disluietudo
banished from tho island In May last sew
eral vessel loads OF paupcr-Irish landed in
Boston. Gov Butler called the attention OF
the Secretary Of State to the matter, and
quietly since then has it been investigated
The result is that enough proof has been
procured to sustain tho charge that

Singular Dreams.

In almost all primitive nations,
dreams were referred directly to God
or to evil spirits. The ancient writer's
Of Greece and Rome give innumerable
instances of warnings sent to man in
this way. Indeed, Interpreter of
Dreams" was regular profession in
Athens and throughout Italy.
The high-priest Of dreams was an
Ephesian named Artemidorus, who
lived in the second century. His
"Oncirocritica is the basis for all books
on dreams in every language. The
ordinary reader would be surprised to
find how many Of these books there are,
and how important science the inter-
probation of our sleeping fancies was
considered for many ages.
Most Of the leading divines in the
Christian church down to the present
century believed that God still occa-
sionally used dreams as . medium Of
many examples Of this. Bishop Cowper
declared that dream had brought him
to his work. Bishop Ken held that
there was q special dream angel.
In later days, men have been con-
tent to record remarkable dreams with
ont attempting to explain or construct
science out of them. Many Of these
dreams have been brought to notice in
courts Of Justice. The court of Areo-
pagus put to death thief on the sole
| testimony of dream Of Sophoclcs ;
and modern courts, while professedly
rejecting all such testimony, have some-
&:,,~c., l~0c,, H..
In Burton's Criminal Trials in Scot
laml, there is an official account of the
trial and execution. in 1881, of High
lander in Rosshire for the robbery and
murder of pedler. Fraser, the only
witness against him, swore that he was
shown in q dream the murderer and
the place where the body was hid.
A farmer was murdered near Dublin
in the beginning of this century. An
idiot boy living near started from his
sleep the same night crying, "Uleck is
killed! / saw Shamus dhu More kill
him and bury him in the new ditch!N
When Uleck was missed the ditch
was searched, the body found and
Shamus was hung.
One Of the most curious fulfilments
OF dream is told by Noel Pators, the
English artist. His mother dreamed
that death. in the shape Of hideou.
dwarf with an ax, entered corridor
where she stood with her six children
She struggled to defend them, but h,
struck down two. Three months latel
the children all took scarlet fever ant
these two died.
Many OF these condolences can b
explained; but there are others Whicl
lead us to doubt whether the free,
spirit in sleep does not sometimes pen
trate into that unknown country un
trodden by any waking soul.

The Scott Law In Ohio.
So much has been said about tho Scott
liquor law, and the probable action OF the
Supreme Court upon the question Of its con-
etitutonality, says the Chicago Ne'cs, that II
has become q subject OF interest to the pub
lie. 1t is well known that tho constitution
OF Ohio prohibits tho licensing Of saloons,
and the clause was ratincd by the temper
ancc people in the expectation that It's adcp.
ton would put an end to the liquor traino
In that State. Such was not, however, the
case, a. under the organic law OF the state
there was no power to restrain tho sale Of
liquor, and 1t ran riot In April last
the State passed what was known -
the Scott law, which authorizes an annual
assessment upon the business Of liquor sell
ing case was made up and carried 10 tho
Supreme Court with the view Of testing its
constitutlonality The other day the court
rendered its decision, all Of the Judges ex-
cept one declaring the law TO bo constitu-
tional The opinion seems to be that tho
effect of the decision will be to strengthen
tho Republicans, as that party championed
the law while their opponents opposed IT
As two Of the members Of the supreme
Court are on the Republican State ticket the
Democrats charge that they were guided as
much BY their political prospects as by .
strict construction Of the law In the case.

The Colonel and the Cat.

Col. Tom Clark, of Brooklyn, once
owned cat on which he showered all
the affection of his bachelor heart.
And the shower took the shape of a
pound of mince meat every day. One
morning the Colonel noticed that his
feline namesake had wasted away to
a mere skeleton, and Immediately he
summoned his boy Bill to appear be-
fore the bar.
Didn't I tell you to give that cat
a pound of meat every day." asked
the Colonel.
ayes, sir, and that's what | give
him every morning before you're out
of bed" answered Bill.
81 don't believe a word of it. My
opinion is that you either pocket the
money or cat the meat yourself.
Bring me the scales and the cat"
The scales and cat were brought ;
the latter was placed on the former,
and Tom and the marker stopped at
the one pound mark.
"There," exclaimed the boy in tri-
umph. didn't ] tell you | gave him
pound of meat this morning
There's a pound of meat sure
enough" said the Colonel, stroking
his chin. "But where the devils the
