Bishop Cleveland Coke thinks that,
in systems of mental philosophy, q
proper degree of attention has not
been assigned to the phenomena of
dreams. Much less has it been con-
sidered how much dreams affect our
lives and pass into our experiences as
facts and as to this phase Of the
subject, he says that he has had Wis
ions of judgment which haunted him
for weeks, deeply impressing him
with sense of his accountability. He
has known other persons the reverse
of superstitious or philosophical, and
who would have scorned the thought
of attaching importance to them, who,
nevertheless. could not shake Of the
depressing influence of dreams for q
long time. Many of our dreams are
30 real in their impression on the i'm
agination as to leave q permanent

The artesian we'll which was bored
at Akron, COL, 112 miles from Den
yer, has met With an unfortunate
mishap. Work was going on finely
when, at q depth of 1880 feet, the
ponderous drill. with its weight of
2,OOe pounds above it, stuck in the
tube, and could not be forced down
to the bottom. Since then all efforts
to prosecute the work have proved
unavailing. The work was under the
management of Professor Horace
Beach. the United States Artesian
Well commissioner, who believes that
On abundance of excellent water can
be made to spout to the surface IN
Colorado in artesian wells which are
sunk to the depth Of 1900 feet.

It is now believed that the surplus
of the post Office department for the
year ending June 30 will be three
million dollars, or almost double that
of the last fiscal iyear. Should this
prove true, and the steady increase
of mail business 60 on, it is highly
probable that the experiment of two
cent letter postage will vipdicate itself
by a freedom from department de.
felt during the very first year of its
introduction. In that case, it Will be
less f6dicult to persuade congress to
risk one-cent postage than it was to
induce it to reduce the rate from
three cents to two.

A gentleman in Cleveland has con-
ceived the idea of establishing a bank
which will loan small sums of money
at moderate rate of interest, and
thus do away with pawnshops. ''The
idea is" he says, "tO receive pledges,
which the borrower may redeem at
an amount of interest not to exceed
2 per cent per m NTH. In some cases
we would only take l per cent, and
sometimes, if the case should warrant
it, we would make the loan benevc-
lent one and take no interest what
ever. In some instances we would
take the ordinary 6per cent per annum
interest. We would of course, use
our judgment in these matters; but
our iuvariable rule will be never to
charge any more than 2 per cent, per
month. Another great benefit to the
poor is our determination to balance
our books at the close of every wear.
and if we find that our profits exceed
8 per cent per annum, we intend to
invest the excess in coal and distribute
it among the worthy poor Of the city.

Speaking Of ex-senator Conkling's
quickness of nina during debate,
John F. Smyth said recently: "Mr.
Conkling was equally swift of mind
in replying to those who were rash
enough to question him at political
meetings. / remember that when he
was a young man he was once inter-
rupted during a speech at Utica by a
fellow who bawled out: DO you
want me to marry a black wench ?
Conkling pretended not TO hear the
remark distinctly, and said with
great politeness of manner will
the gentleman who asked me a ques-
ton have the kindness TO come for
ward and repeat it ? The republic
cans who were present cried out ::
Turn him out, turn him out oh,
no, don't turn him out: I'm sure
the gentleman asked some question
which deserves a reply /; let him come
forward said Conkling. So they
pushed the fellow forward to the mid
die of the hall, where he pulled out
his chest and said de6antly: Do you
want me TO marry a black woman ?
Conkling looked the man all over
carefully fo- about three minutes. 1t
was so silent that you could have
heard a pin drop. Then he said with
q drawl DO l want you to marry
a black woman? No / can't say that
I dol have too much compassion
for the black woman"

American girls are much more popular
abroad than ours, and for an obvious
reason. They are more continental in
their tastes. They live for society, dress,
Irritation. Our young women. like their
fathers and brothers, are profoundly in
different to continental opinion. When
SWedenbOrg visited heaven he found

to themselves. So do orr couutrymen
abroad. They have plenty OF interest,
apart from society. They botanic. they
walk, they play laWn-tcnnis as il they
meant winning sets, not hearts. They
carry hammers, they explore fossils, they
dig up bits OF primitive man. they collect
sea-bcasts, they even study the peasants
and their patOis. They regard foreign
young men rs beings OF another species, no
more marriageable than monkeys. For all
these reasons they DO not dress 10 please

They wear big-nailed boots. hideous sun
shades, and, when very Alpine and pedcs-
trian, seem chiefly TO robe themselves i'm
seedy old ulster-. Seal-SkinS and water
