Stronger Than Horses.

Auburn Dispatch,
Mervine Thompson, the champion
Canadian wrestler, gave an outdoor
exhibition of his great strength last
evening. He said that he would pull
against any team of horses in the city
or country. and would give one hun.
dred dollars to the owner of the team
if the horses succeeded in pulling him
from ladder. Thomson quickly re-
moved his coat, vest. and hat. A
harness resembling pair of shoulder
braces, only a great deal stronger, was
thrown over his shoulders and around
his waist. With two large straps left
dangling from the small of his back.
Then lying face downward upon the
ladder, fixed in q horizontal position
securely dashed to telegraph pole. he
grasped a round of the ladder with
both hands and placed his feet firmly
against another fat round at the foot
of the ladder. A team was hitched to
these straps; and then commenced the
tug of war. The large pair of horses
strained and tugged. But in
vain. The man could not be pulled
from his position. After making
three or four futile attempts. this
team was removed and q heavy pair
of sorrels attached to the man. They,
like their predecessors, could make
no impression, and the man of muscle
did not exhibit the slightest sign of
weakening. Finally an employee

A Saxon Tomb.

New York Herald.
A tumulus in the old churchyard at
Taplow, near Maidenhead, has just
been opened by members of the Berx-
shire Archa, illogical society, and was
found to contain relics equal in value
and archaeological interest to any of
the Saxon period vet discovered in
England. The digging was carried
to depth of twenty feet, where a
quantity of gold fringe was found. fol-
lowed by traces of a burial of the Sax
on period. Tie body had evidently
been placed on its back, with the head
lying eastward. A circular shiled Of
wood, cased with bronze, Of two feet
in diameter, was found. On the shield
lay two drinking horns, shaped some
what like the early feudal horn, Tipped
with gilt silver, the terminals being of
gilded silver, elegantly mitred and 6g-
ured. Two mirte-shaped armlets OF
ornamental gilt silver were also found
ON the shield. Some glass vessels
were found near, together with cir
cular tub stamped with the horseshoe.
The usual warllke weapons lay along
side the dead. Some shreds of the
gold fibre were ten inches in length.
Other ornaments were found, including
a brooch buckle, weighing four ounces
and four inches in length, made OF
pure gold. chastely wrought and neatl,
jeweled. Two smaller and elegantly
wrought buckles and some other OBJ
;ects in bronze were found.

Lincoln's Prophetic Dream.

AAhSO1A 3AORA0t1C O403".
Nashville Leader.
1t is not generally known that Presi-
dent Lincoln once dreamed that he
would be assassinated. While he was
neither a professor of religion, nor
even fixed in his belief of any particu-
lar creed, still he was fond of reading
and discussing the Bible. On Sunday
evenings he invariably read a chapter
or two of the scriptures, and then
gave his description of it. One even.
ing at the white house he read several
passages. both from the old and new
testaments relating to dreams. to
which Mrs. Lincoln and the children
gave great attention. He began to
chat with them on the subject of
dreams, and said he had been haunted
for some days by a dream he had had.
OF course they all wanted him to tell
it, though Mrs. Lincoln said she did
not believe in dreams in
the least. and was astonished at him.
So he proceeded to tell it. "About
ten days ago l retired one night quite

luding to Chief Justice Drake, who was
present, expressed his indignation at seing
the chief Justice e the court of claims on

had no more right to interfere with the

senators, to see this justice importune

The petitioners say they beg leave to rep
resent that the bill now before the gov

regarded with great apprehension as a
breach of faith on the part of the state,
and an attack upon the rights of property,
and injurious to holders of stock and

state. They therefore earnestly beg the
governor to withhold his signature. Not

EVENING.
SEND A DOCTOR TO MoLoKA1.

In a recent issue we discussed, as
fully as the space then at our dis
posal would allow, the duty of the
Board of Health with reference to
leprosy. Among the reforms we
indicated was the appointment OF a
resident physician for the lcpcr set
tlcmcnt on Molokai. We regard
this as matter of imperative neces-
sity. 1t is duty which cannot be
ignored OF deferred by any admins
tration having any claims to be
regarded rs progressive" No
intelligent person will hold that a
two days visit to the settlement in
each month, from physician re-
siding in Honolulu, can meet the
requirements of the case. The
question of the durability or other
wise Of lcprosy has very little to do
with the matter. There are from
six to eight hundred unfortunates,
in all stages of disease, which even
if incurable, is susceptible of relief
in many of its symptoms, while at
the same time these sufferers are
subject to all the ordinary diseases
which afilict other people. In fact,
the Impairment of health due to
leprosy must render them especially
liable to the attacks of certain other
affections. 10 deny to people thus
situated, the advantages Of
regular and efficient medical service,
such as can only be secured by the
presence of a resident physician, is
a glaring derellction of duty and a
positive inhumanity. The funds
now at the disposal of the Board
being confessedly ample, we are at
a loss to understand what motives
can actuate the members of that
body in this matter. Surely, con-
siderations of personal advantage or
professional jealousy cannot be
allowed to have weight in question
of this kind, where both duty and
policy point so clearly in one direc-
tion. If there is any good reason
for the persistent inaction of the
Board, we trust that some one will
rise and tell lis what that reason is
for such an explanation is very
much needed.
