District Court Expenses.

''Ehe last term of court at Mineral Park cost Mobaye county nearly S5-, OO0"
 The above is from the last issue of the Prescott Journal. We know not where the Journal got its 1nforms- tion, but we do know that its inform ant either knew nothing about tne facts or else deliberately lied. Of ali the terms of court held in this county the most expensive was that atwhich the Crum outfit wnre con- victed. Their trial necessitated the employment of eminent counsel to assist our District Attorney, snd tbe :. attendance of numerous witnesses from Prescott and vicinity, and yet it only cost this county in the neigh borhood of S4,OO0, including all the other expenses of the term. And Crum and his partners belonged ID Yavapai county, too, Through the courtesy of H. Backsbaum, clerk of the Board of Supervisors, we are en- abIed to give a tabulated statement of the expenses of the April and September terms of the District Court for the present year.

In almost all primitive nations,
dreams were referred directl! 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 al books
on dreams in every language. The
ordinary reader would he surprised to
ind how many of these books there are
and how important o science the iute.-
probation Of our sleeping fancies was
considered for many ages.
Most of the leading livines in the
Christian church down to the present
century believed that God still ocoa-
sionally used dreams as . medium of
communication with men. Calvin gave
many examples of this. Bishop Cowper
declared that dream had brought him
to his work. Bishop Ken held that
there was special dream-angel.
In later days, men have been con-
tent to record remarkable dreams with
out attempting to explain or construct
science out of them. Many of these
dreams have been brought to notice il
courts of Justice. The court of Areo-
pagus put to death thief on tho sole
testimony of . dream of Sophoclcs;
and modern courts, while professedly
rejecting all such testimony, have some
times been influenced by il.
In Burton's Criminal Trials in Scot
land, there is an official account OF the
trial and execntion 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 whore 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!'
When Uleck was missed the ditch
was searched, the body found and
Shamus was hung.
One of the most curious fulflments
of . dream is told by Noel Pators, the
English artist. HI mother dreamed
that death, in the shape of q hideout
dwarf with an AK, entered o ossridos
where she stood with her six children.
She struggled to defend them, hut he
struck down two. Three months later
the children all took scarlet fever and
these two died.
Many of these condolences can be
explained; but there are others which
lead US to doubt whether the freed
spirit in sleep does not sometimes PEN
trate into that unknown country un.
trodden by any waking soul.

Anthony TrollopeS American Charac-
t0lH.

Trollope's attitude toward Americans
is thus touched upon by Henry James:
"His American portraits, by the way
(they are several in number), are al
ways friendly: they hit it off more
happily than the attempt to depict
American character from the European
point of view is accustomed to do:
though, indeed, as we ourselves have
not yet learned to represent our types
very finely-are not apparently even
very sure what our types are-it is per-
haps not to he wondered at that trans
atlantic talent should miss the mark.
The weakness of transatlantic talent,
in this particular, is apt to be want of
knowledge; but Trollope's knowledge
has all the air of being excellent,
though not intimate. Had he indeed
striven to learn the way to the Ameri-
can heart? No less than twice and,
possibly, even oftener has he rewarded
the merit of q scion of the British aristoc-
racy with the hand of an American
girl. The American girl was destined
sooner or later to make her entrance
into British fiction, and Trollopes treat
ment Of this complicated being is full
Of good humor and of that fatherly in
diligence, that almost motherly SYM
pathy, which charxcterizes his attitude
throughout toward the youthful fem
mime. He has not mastered all the
springs of her delicate organism, nor
sounded all the mysteries Of her con-
versation. Indeed, as regards these
latter phelomena, hc has observed
few Of which he has been the sole OBJ
server. I got to be thuc ucking If any
one of them should ask me to marry

Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemon.
On Saturday afternoon Custer lodge,
No. 1871, Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, was organized in Livings-
ton under the instruction of S. NJ. Stevens,
who came here for the purpose. The
officers of the new lodge are w. T. Fields,
Master: Fred Foote, Secretary; Henry
Depew, Treasurer; and Chas. Fitzpatrick,
Magazine Agent. There were eighteen
charter members.
The order of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen was instituted ten years
ago at Port Jervis, New York. Since
then it has progressed rapidly, till now it
has total membership of 5000 men and
publishes at Terre Haute, Ind, a monthly
organ called the Fireman's Magazine,
that has a circulation of $4,000. The
object of the order is mutual aid and pro-
lection. Each member receives in case
of death or disability the sum of 81 900,
paid from the general fund. The moral
improvement Of its members is looked
after by the order, vice in all forms dis
couragcd, especially the use Of intoxi-
cants, which are very properly considered
something that locomotive engineers and
fremen should not tamper with. Any
engineer or fireman who has worked in
railroad employ one year is eligible for
membership. If he be man of temper
ate habits, sound in body and limb. The
order is distinct from the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, though the two
work harmoniously for the common good.
It is looked upon with favor by railroad
officials Throughout. the country and even
encouraged. ;.
Mr.. Stevens says the newly-organized
lodge in Livingston starts with bright
outlook and he prophes;es for it pros
porous career.

THE BAGGAGE FIENp.


Twas ierocious baggage man, with Atlantean
back, ,,-.,.
And biceps upon each arm piled in formidable
stack, ,
That piled his dread vocation beside railroad
track.
Wildly he tossed the baggage round the platform
there, pell-mell -.
And crushed to naught the fraiI ban whefeer
1t shapeless fell,
Or stove the Saratoga like Tn ess-
shell.
On iron clads, especially, he fell full ruthlessly,
And eke the trunk derisisely called Cottage Dy
And pulled and hauled and rammed and iammed
the same, vindictiysly,
Until yawning breach appeared, Or fractures
Or straps were burst, or lids foil off, some ca
Crowned his Satanic zeal, or moved ms diaoohe
glee.
The passengers surveyed the wreck with diverse
discomfort,
And some vtuperated him, and s,me made iouu
But wrath or iamentation on him were vainly
spent.
To him there came shamblng man, sad-eyed
and meek and thin,
Bearing an humble carpet-bag, and scanty stun
And unto that fierce baggage man he spake, with
quivering chin:
ssBshold this scanty carpet-bag started a
month ago un.
with a dozen Saratoga trunks. hat-box, and
portmanteau,
But baggage men along the route have brought
me down so low.
"Be careful with this carpet bag, kind SIR" said
he to him
The baggage man received it with smile ex-
tremely grim,
nd softly whispered, "Mother, may go out to
swimf'
Then iercely jumped upon the bag, in wild, sar-
donic spleen, lo.
And inte countless fragments iew-to his pro-
found chagrin-
For that lank bag contained pint Of nitro glye-
crime.
The stranger heaved gentle sigh, and stroked
his quivering chin,
Aud then he winked with one sad eye and said,
with smile serene:

Mrs. Siddons.
BY L. NJ. THORPE.

The great tragic actress, Mrs.
Siddons, the daughter Of stroll :
ling manager who had originally
been hair-dresser to the company,
made her first appearance on the
stage almost as soon as she could
speak. Lord Ailesbury and Lady
Boyle patronized her at Chelten-
ham soon after her marriage, and
mentioned her to Garrick, who
gave her an engagement at'five
pounds per week. She was
young. fragile, and timid then,
and Garrick never cared' much
about her. He told her her arms
moved awkwardIy, and she de-
clared "that he was afraid she
would overshadowed his nose.
Mrs. Arlington, however, asserted
her genius. and she soon after
ward went to Bath. Henderson
praised her there and her triumph
began. In 1882 she came to
London, and astonished the town
as Isabella in Southern's play.
From that moment her fame be-
gan. When she played Jane
Shore, the ladies sobbed and
shrieked; the men wept, and
fainting fits were of momentary
occurrence in the boxes. Her
Calista and Belvidera touched
every heart. When she played
Mrs. Beverly, in "The Game
ster." the pit used to curse and
threaten and yell at the wicked
Stukely. and people, afraid Of
the excitement, have been known
to stay in the lobby and look in
at the square glasses Of the box
doors, so as net to hear the words,
but only to see the wonderful
face. Once, when she played
Agnes, in Fatal Curiosity Q
gentleman in the pit went into
Mysteries. In the fainting scene
in "Tamerlane" she was once sc
deeply moved that she really
swooned. Whether as Lady
Macbeth. Cordelia, Volumnia Of
