Wonderful Dreams.

A daughter of the late Harvey
Jewell (who was so we'll and favor
ably known in business and legal cir.
Giles, and was brother of the late
Marshall JewelD had recently a very
queer and unusual experience, and
one calculated to make Il deep i'm
preston upon the strongest mind.
Some time ago she had dream in
which she distinctly saw all underta-
ker drive up in front of her fathers
residence with hearse. He was a
peculiar looking man. His queer
shaped nose, which looked as though
it had been broken and was twisted
to one side, gave to his countenance
an expression which would have
made Identification easy and certain.
He came directly toward her, and as
he said, care you all ready?" she
suddenly awoke.
The dream seemed peculiar one,
but it did not attract much attention
in the household until a week later,
when it was repeated with exactly the
same characteristics, down to the
care you all ready?" and then awak-
ening.
And now comes the strangest part
of the story. Not long after the
young lady was visiting in Cincinnati,
and went to an apartment lo:el to call
upon friend. She stepped into the
elevator with others, and was started
to hear "Are you all ready?" from
the man in charge. She was still
more startled on looking around and
beholding the exact representation Of
the man in her dreams, even to the
misshapen nose. 1t made such an
impression upon her mind that she
requested to be let out at the first
landing. She stepped out and the
other occupants went on to the next
landing, and the man remained. The
elevator machinery gave out; suddenly
the car went up and then down, and
the man was instantly killed.--Boston

popular chord Of public feeling in Kent
and Sussex Counties. After al
the hair-splitting theories OF law are
exhausted by the judiciary upon the
subject, it remains for the press OF the
State to reduce these theories to practice
in order to arrive at satisfactory solu-
ton. The Sussex Journal, in review
ing the question, brings this strong
point to bear For instance, says the
Journal, "suppose it to be more than
probable that the Republicans i'll
eighteen hundred and eighty-tour VIII
carry New Castle and SUSSEX Counties,
and suppose further that the Democrats
are sure of carrying Kent III that year,
what is there under the construction
given to the Constitution by those who
claim that the Legislature has right
to apportion as it deems necessary, that
will prohibit the General Assembly at
its present session from giving 10 Kent
thirty members, and thereby securing
Democratic legislative control oi the
State two years hence
Much rs we would desire to view the
question in another aspect, We cannot
fail to see the point in the illustration
made by the journal. If the LrgiSla
turr has the power and the right to in
crease representation at will, would not
the next have the same power ana
right to reduce it at will !" lfthe decision
of the Judges of the Superior Court is
correct, under il would not the LegiSla-
ture become mere apportionlng booty
to divide, increase and decrease repre-
Sentation at every session of the LegiS-
lature? These are points not touched
upon by either the Chancellor or the
Judges but it will DE seen that they
are salient points nevertheless.
