The Captains acquaintances took charge
of the body, and went ashore. We were

Next day attended church and was at

which some half dozen preachers were
seated. A well-known minister arose
and said that two preachers from New
Orleans had arrived. Brothers Jackson

Mabelson would first address the con-

imagine my surprise when I recognized
in the preacher the quiet young gentle

most forgotten how to buy and sell.
"Well," replied the first speaker, 81

The dream seemed peculiar one,
but did not attract very much attention

The Ridiculously Solemn NIexi

I entered at 10 O'Clock p. m. a hall in a
large old house in town in Mexico and
took seat on one of the many chairs
that were ranged round the room with
their backs to the wall. The hall was
spacious, and few people had yet ar
rived. In one corner of the hall sat a
man before small round table, on
which were placed small plates of al
monds and raisins. Some ladies We're
seated at the other end Of the room,
attentively watching this man and the
entrance door by turns. Their curiosity
was soon relieved, for one by one
the crowd poured in, and each one took
his or her seat on one of the chairs
against the wall. The aspect of the

moved here and there through the room.

ALoNELY sERENADE.

A youth went out to serenade
The lady whom he loved best
And passed beneath the mansions shade
Where erst her chamber used to rest.
He warb'ed till the morning light
Came dancing DER the hilltop's rim,
But no fair maiden blessed his sight,
And all seemed dark and drear to him.
With heart aglow and eyes ablaze
He drew much nearer than before,
When, to his horror and amaze,
He saw "To Let" upon the door

California Wine in French Bot
ties.

The grape and wine industry of Cali
fornia seems to be constantly and rap.
idly extending, and in some of the small
towns the French custom Of giYing.cheap
native wines at tavern dinners without
extra charge has already been eslab-
lished. But have not found it in any
of the larger places. In Los Angeles
restaurant, where We stopped for lunch,
/ called for c!aret. "Willbyou have the
French or the California wine?" I was
asked. 'sIf you have any very good
French claret. bring it; but let me see
the bottle before you draw the cork"
So the waiter brought red wine in a
bottle labeled "Haut Sauterne;" evident
ly the wine has Just been poured in, and
the neck was full of bubbles. The serv-
ing of common California wines in old
French bottles is practiced at inns and
eating houses with q boldness that de-
spises concealment, and disregard OF
the labels which it is impossible to OBJ
serve with straight face. Dining one
day in most unpretending tavern IN a
little town far from any railroad, I asked
the waiter what wine he had. "Oh,
every kind, sir; give you anything you
wish-Chatean Margaux, Chateau Laf-
fite; all the French vines" "Then,n
replied I, laughing, II think you had
better bring me something else." And
ordered California wine which am
bound to say was not good, but then, at
least,.it was sold under its own name for
a reasonable price Correspondence N.

"History repeats ITSELF" murmured
Mr.. Jones, vaguely while Willie looked
at his ma with wonder and admiration

"But what made him famous?" per-

his enemies surrounded him, he shouted:
