FAITH IN aULLIBILIrY.

Faith in the inexhaustible credulity of the masses has been the foundation of many q chsrlatan's fortune. At the time of the South Sea Bubble, when new projects of the most wild and pre- posterous character found promoters with ease, an astute and audacious ad- venturer advertised for subscriptions to an enterprise the nature of which was to be concealed for a certain time, and he actually made several thousands of pounds out of it, the people paying for shares with blind eagerness. With this adventurer deserves to be ranked the in genious but unprincipled American citi- zen who has just been arrested for doing an extensive business in advertising all manner of enticing things to be sent on the receipt of postage stamps. Cases of this kind have occurred before, but then the imposters usually send some- thing, however fraudulent, in return for the stamps. This genius, however, had made no provision whatever in that way. He simply appropriated the stamps, and refrained from answering the letters; and though so reckless a swindle would seem certain to come to grief in . short time, he appears to have kept it up and made considerable profits by it, for several months. He also ad- vertised largely through the newspapers never paying them, but giving them re- ferences to aliases of his own, and him self answering all letters inquiring about his character. The defect in his plan was that it was certain sooner or later to become the subject of investigation, and the moment it was inquired into the truth came out.
 The number of swindlers who have waxed fat on similar but more carefully devised schemes is no doubt very con siderable. The rogues who engineer them rely upon the desire of most peo- pie to get much for little. They know that the greed of gain often obscures the judgment, aRd that though all cool headed business men suspect offers of the kind, remembering the Duke of Wellington's maxim that "good interest means bad security" yet there are al- ways plenty ready to spring at any bait, if it is only gaudy and glittering enough. The so-called "sawdust" sharpe's, who pretend to sell counterfeit money, and send the victim a box of sawdust, act upon shrewd knowledge of the baser elements in human nature. They select for their dupes persons who are willing to be knaves themselves, and whose own knavory shuts their mouths when they find out the swindle. Probably no professional sharpers would enter upon so very bold game as the young man of the postage stamps played, for as they mean to make their living by their wits they dare not thus openly advertise their dishonesty. But the fact that such a trick should have been so successful, and that it should have been carried on for so long time without detection, shows that the crop of gulls continues to be as large as ever, and that what ever else fails there is no prospect of "shsrtage" in that line of production.

THE THEORY OF DREAMS.

The New York Anthropologcal So, ciety met Tuesday night and listened tc an address by the Rev. Dr. J. M. Buck. ley, entitled "A Tentative Theory o Dreams"
 In opening his lecture Dr. Buckley said that whatever is found in the Bible is excluded from scientific or philoso. phical consideration, as it deals with the supernatural and can not be req soned upon in the line or realm of cause and effect. The Bible ayers that God spoke to men in dreams, taught them by dreams, etc. If he did, it cannot be proved as scientific propositions are proved. Science and tine Bible run in parallel lines, but never touch the same methods of thought. The primary cause of dreams is the use of certain drugs-opium, alcohol, nitrous oxide gas and the like. lIasheesh is a most extraordinary drug for it's effects in this way. The speaker quoted the experi- ence of an eminent French medical writer on the subject of hasheesh as productive of the most fantastic and dreadful dreams. As an example of its extraordinary excitant qualities he stated that the Saracens employed it to produce the necessary impulse in the minds and nervous systems of persons to be engaged in the perpetration of at roclous acts. Reverie and abstraction is a cause of dreams. Reverie. when It becomes the master of any person, is the twin sister of lunacy. When it is impossible for persons to break from their reveries and mingle with the actu- al affairs of the world they are on the very threshold of lunacy. The number of mental processes that occur in rev. erie and their vividness is as great as in dreams. Persons pass from reverie in- into dreamy sleep. Dreams are modi- fled by the external effects of things. If man fills his stomach with corn beef and cabbage, sauerkraut, limburg- CT cheese and that sort of food it is an unquestionable fact that his dreams will be totally different in character from the dreams of some men witt, an equal amount of distention produced by less avolrdupois weight. Animals dream unquestionably, the speaker said.
 In dreams indentity is lost very fre- quently. Time and space in the most remarkable dreams are apparently an initiated. The greater activity of the mind in dreams is an absolute delusion. It is apparently greater &C., tivity because the faculties by which we estimate the flight of time when we are awake are entirely inactive. Most peo- pie dream, and one may have one hun dred dreams in one night. The speak CT concluded by saying that every d cam can be analysed, and that there never has been dream that contained one image or idea not in existence and known to be in existence before.

TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY.

The good people of former days had a queer idea of what constituted sinful posture. The New Haven colony in 1869 passed statute with the follow ing clause: "Whosoever shall inveigle or draw the affections of any maide or maide servant, either to himself or oth- CTS, without first gaining the consent of her parents, shall pay to the planta- ton for the first offense 40 shillings {; the second offense f4; for the third he shall be imprisoned or corporeously punished. Under this law, lat a court held in May, 1869, Jacobeth Murine and Sarah Futile were prosecuted "for setting down on chestle together, his arms around her waist and her arm upon his shoulder or about his neck and continued in that sinful posture about half an hour, in which time he kyssed her and she kyssed him, or they kyssed one another, as ye Witnesses testified"

GARFIELD.
An Heretofore Untold Story of the Late
 President.

A gentleman who knew Garfield well tells story which has never before been published of that remarkable man
 "We were sitting" said this gentleman, ''in the office of the Secretary of the Navy, Mir. Thompson, of Indianna waiting to be heard on some matter of routine business, when Garfield took his seat at a vacant desk near by and com menced writing with both hands upon the scratch pads on either side of him. He seemed to write with one hand as freely as with the other. Both hands, in fact, appeared to move automatically
 The only difference was that the lines on the tablet written with tfe left hand were reversed from the usual order
 The consequence was that the writing on the left-hand tablet could not be read except by an expert, or by holding il up to @ light or before a mirror. looked at the one written with the left hand on it's upper side, and while the lines seemed remarkably uniform they conveyed no meaning, but holding the thin paper up at the light l saw not only that the words written were the same as those on the tablet written with the right hand, but that every peculiarity in the formation of letter which was found on the right hand tablet was ex- actly reproduced on the Jeff. hand. The achievement was 8 marvel to me, as l had never heard of it before, although l have since heard that many people do it. Garfield said thet he often wrote that way whenever he wished to pre- serve an exact copy of what he was writing without having copy made by letter-press, and that in this manner he saved great deal of time without any more appreciable fatigue. I asked him how he got into that habit. He said that while teaching school once he had occasion to use his right hand to point out something and that unconsciously he kept on writing with his left. Upon turning to the blackboard to look al what he had written he observed that the writing was reversed, but that he had full use of his left hand for writing
 and from that time he made use of both hands. He was, in fact, completely ambidextrous. - Boston Journal.

 "Gib him anudder one !" exclaimed the colored lady. cob course we is gwineter gib him anudder one. We ain't poor folks. You don't 'spect we s gwineter to gib him de same one ober agin, does yer?"

STRAWBERRIES BY THE BARREL.

A correspondent of the Pacific Rur dl Press tells in the following lines how he grows strawberries in a barrel which, for denizens of the city, having but limited space for such purpose might prove useful. It is hardly nee essary to add that "the barrep' would doubtless need close attention.
 Take an empty barrel of any kind except salt barrel, and bore it full o inch holes, commencing six inches from the bottom, and having the holes six inches apart. The barrel should have one sound head in it. From sev- enty-five to one hundred holes can thus be made in an ordinary sized barrel. Next, procure a length of old stovepipe and punch it full of holes. Set this length of pipe in the center of the bar rel, and fill it with sheep manure. Pour in sufficient rich, mellow dirt around the pipe to fill up to the first tier of holes, the plants being prepared by cut ting off all the large leaves, and the decayed and bruised roots, leaving only the green bud or crown. Thrust this bud through the hole in the barrel from the inside, spreading the roots out on the dirt. After the first tier of holes are filled, pour in dirt up to the next tier of holes, then set out another row of plants being put around the top of the barrel, letting the crown of the plants project over the top.
 This completes the strawberry bed. All that is now necessary is to pour & bucketful or two of water every other day into the stovepipe containing the manure. The advantages of raising strawberries on small scale, in this way are manifold. Any one having room enough to set two or three barrels can raise berries enough for quite large family, as vines cultivated in this way will yield much more bountifully than when set on the open ground. Strawberries thus grown require no after culture, as no weeds or runners can grow so as to do any injury. As fast as runners make their appearance they should be cut off with the shears, as they exhaust the vitality of the parent plant. Berries grown in this way are always clean and free from grit. Plants can be set out at any time when they can be obtained from the runners, which are the only proper ones to use. Any family can have a strawberry as the expense is trifing.
 Whenever family wishes to move they can set their berry patch on a dray and take it along with them.

"All this talk about water being poi sonous coming through lead pipe is non sense" exclaimed Bunch. "My family have drawn water through lead pipe for thirty years, and no effects of poison have been perceived" "That may all be-" said Blogg, "but just you wait thirty years longer and see if your folks don't begin to die off one by one. Lead poisoning is sure if it is slow.

GLIMPSE OF THE SHIPS LIFE RAFT.
Before the first boat started for the wreck, saw
a boat OF raft floating down the Sound, about two
miles distant; and for a while we were in doubt
which to go after, the wreck or the raft; but We
concluded the greatest need TO be on the wreck.
After the life boat gone another crew launched
William James's whale boat, intending to go after
the floating boat or raft Before they got away
from the wharf however, they shipped three or four
seas that filled the boat. She was cast oil; and the
men cung TO the gunwales until they got
in tho breakers when they waded ashore
The boat was dashed into kiudling wood
in few minutes. Two of the volunteers
were nearly drowned. Fearing that the life boat
might also be swamped and all her crew lost, we
sent to Squibnocket Humane House for the life boat
there 1t came up on wheels, but not until afterthe
work of rescue was done. Nevertheless, acrew was
made up (all white this time) of Edy Flanders

hour but could do nothing. The bodies which came
ashore here we sent to the Baptist meeting-house
where they now are"
