Meanwhile she found that, leaving

very kindly and amiable. Once COR

early youth and call this lesson in

in pronunciation, but Miss Piper felt
herself to be humbug. What they
really did was to spend the day to-

with educational books, humping the
piano, daubing the bristol board with
impossible flowers, scrambling through
the lessonsin French, Of which she had
had aquarter from Swiss gentleman.
For a long time she was alone on Sum
day and usually went to the Metho-
dist church to which she belonged !;
but Mr.. Sliger soon altered that. He
began by asking her whether they had
these vespers Of theirs at the csthe-
dral on Sunday morning" And when
she instructed him that "vespers" were
in the latter part Of the day, said he
would call for her.
Accordingly she went to vespers at
the cathedral in the afternoon and
after that three times day to differ

PINKERroN's TRAp.-eI was just

PINKERToN's TRAp.-"I was Just
thinking" said Capt. R. ]. Linden,
superintendent of Pinkerton's Detec-
tive agency, on his return from Chi
cago, where he had been attending
the funeral of Allan Pinkinton, "of
the wonderful will power and untir-
ing perseverance, of the man whose
body has been laid to rest. Very
few persons, unless they were init
mately associated with him, would
believe that any person could possess
such patient persistence, which sur
mounted obstacles that to ordinary
men would appear like impossible
mountains.
"Maj. Pinkerton was man with a
big heart. don't think he knew how
TO do mean thing, He was one of
those honorable, fair-minded men,
who, while giving everybody their
due, exaoted the. same for himself.
In matters of business, he insisted on
getting every penny that belonged to
hin4 and once he made promise it
was lived up to if it cost him every
penny he owned in the world. His
likes and dislikes were intense. Ifhe
become your friend no amount of ca
lumny on the part of your enemy
could change his opinion; but if he
disliled you neither arguments nor
entreaties could shake him an iota.
maj. Pinkerton's perseverance and
ingenuity were the secrets of his sue
cess in all his undertakings. If he
could not accomplish his purpose by
one plan he Immediately resorted to
another. His mind was wonderfully
fertile in expedients, and it was a
rare thing for him to fail when he
had once set his mind upon success.
You can form some idea Of his ready
tact and capacity for planning in the
case of the colored murderer john
son, of South Carolina, who killed an
enemy under the most brutal oircum-
stances. Maj. Pinkerton was pretty
positive as to the mans guilt, but it
was impossible to obtain a complete
chain Of evidence. With the natural
secretiveness Of his race johnson re-
fused 10 fall into any of the man traps
laid for him and make confession,
which was Pinkerton's object.
"After weeks of patient but abor-
tive work, novel plan was hit upon.
The murderer was surprised one morn
ing when he went to take q pillow into
field to find it spattered with blood.
In the open feId.I5n,;e he was to
work the murd = : 1nmaa

1t was a dreadful thing to do in
such public place, but Pandora Pr
per felt that she was going to faint
the room grew black.
She held out her hand for the glass
Of water. Most of it was split upon
the front breadth Of her new black
silk, but that which passed her lips
revived her. Then n sweet soft sense
that there was no more trouble for
her in this world crept into her heart
and she smiled up at him.

Mrs. Grimm was sitting up for her,

and said:

utterances from a higher power. Just
before the battle Of Jenkins Ferry the
old man in sermon, said:
my dear boys, have decided to
go in the next fight with You. l
don't think man can properly preach
about the evils and sensations Of war
unless he has experienced the feeling
of going into battle. Now the next
fighting we engage in shall have me
numbered among it's participants"
The old gentleman rode large
gray horse, and when preparations for
Che battle OF Jenkins's Ferry were
being made, he appeared on the snowy
charger. Some Of the officers begged
him to keep out of danger, but with
an expression of heroism he replied
that he would engage in the battle.
The first artillery fire from the enc
my shot the horse from under the old
gentleman, and by the ti:ne he set
tied himself on his feet a bullet came
along and carried off one Of his an
gers. He attempted to be calm, but
Just then bullet carried away the
right thumb, and wheeling around,
the old man struck determined trot
for the rear.
"Hold on, parson" called some
one.
"Hold on hip" he replied. "Ask
man to hold on when the whole

CAUSES OF DREAMS. --Instan
might be multiplied almost without
limit Of persons being warned Of i'm
pending illness by dreams of more or
less significance, says correspondent.
During sleep obscure sensations caused
by the perverted action of some part
of the body, then in the first stages Of
disease, are felt and appreciated to
some extent, while, at the same time,
they are not sufficiently we'll marked
to arrest the attention Of the mind
engrossed with everyday cares and
occupations. They are not truly
prophetic, for they indicate that dis
ease is already present.
All other warnings in dreams Of
what is about to happen somewhere
beyond. the chance of the warned one
receiving any intimation Of them ex-
cspt by dreams, are to be PLACED to
the account Of condolences. Dreams
of absent friends, OF their doings and
of what is happening to them, occur
in countless numbers in our nightly
fancies. So long as they do not coin
eide with what we learn to be actual
events they do not arrest the atten-
ton and are replaced in our memories
by more important things. But let
one of them coincide with something
that actually occurs at the time CIR at
some long future period, and at once
it becomes marvel worthy to be re-
corded in the daily prints and to be
worked up with similar ones into
FOOTBALLS on the Boundaries OF An
other World" and the like. If COIN
cidences should never occur it would
be q far greater marvel than il dog
en- should be recorded daily.
Memory Of dates, of faces, OF events,
of forgotten words, ETC., etc., OCCASION
ally revive in dreams. This is to be
explained in an analogous manner.
The impulses registered in certain Of
the nerve-oells Of the brain may not
be sufficiently energetic to manifest
themselves to our waking conscious
ness when most of the faculties are
dormant in sleep, these, acting by
themselves, may be strong enough to
be realized by the mind, or be revived
to such degree as to be remembered
after awaking. Problems in mathe-
matios have been solved in this man
ner, and the process Of solution re-
membeIed on waking.

FUNERALS IN FRANcE.--There is
one French custom we should like to
see introduced into the United States,
and become universal. In France,
when a funer' rosses, every man
raises his hs/ salute it. The de-
ceased person may have been child,
a panper, Or begger; it is no mat
ter; the cortcge is saluted by every
man, whether he be prince, million
aire, or meudicant. 1t is good and
lovely custom. Few things are more
humiliating than to see funeral trot-
ting down Broadway, in New York,
winding in and out among the yehi-
Giles and other distractions, exciting
no more remark or attention than if
it were procession Of old hacks GO
ing to the repair shops. In New York,
the rapid pace seems unavoidable,
owing to the great distance to the
cemeteries. Elsewhere, funerals at
least move with decent slowness,
and the evident sorrow Of the follow
ers seem to plead to the passer-by for
the sympathetic recognition 1t were
a mark Of civilization in US TO bestow
it upon them.
