SOME CURIOUS STUDIES IN PSYcylOL-
OGY.
During the recent campaign, James
Monroe, editor OF the dream Investi-
gator" published 1T Peoria, ILL.,, asked
for reports of dreams relating to the
Presidential election. a number were
sent in, some Of which are singular
enough.
In the October number the following
appeared:
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECrIoN-CLEvE.
LAND AHEAD.
At this writing (Septelnber coy we
have but small! portion OF what We
expect OF the political dreamers in re-
gard to the present political campaign,
but 80 far as the returns are in Grover
Cleveland is ahead, as appears from
the following dreams:
l. In the month Of September, aud
year 1880, = certain gentleman IA repub.
lican), residing in the state OF Kansas,
while Frustrated with fever upon his
bed, fell into visionary state in WHICH
4'e saw many spirits, AID still retaining
his consciousness, he mentally asked
that he might see the result of the po-
litical campaign which was then agita-
ting the country. And in answer to
his mental request he was shown =
round ring, and man Of good appear
ance advanced to the ring and took 4
seat. Soon after the man moved to the
left and another took his place. Next
after that the ring assumed the form
Of tha letter 3D." Now it appears
that Garfield and Arthur have fulfilled
the first part OF the dream, and the
change Of the ring to the form of the
letter ''D'' is very suggestive Of the
success of the Democratic party.
The foregoing vision was written
and sent to us nearly fonr years ago.
). a certain man also republi
can), residing in the state Of Tennes-
see, recently dreamed that he was at q
political meeting, and those present
were all republicans, and AL appeared
very happy and juhlant. But soon aft
rr they We're less jubilant, and negroes
appeared in their midst and their un-
happiness increased, and so did the
number of negroes, urtil they raised Il
great riot and broke up in confusion.
Negroes, we have defined us repre-
senting scoundrels, error, ignorance,
misfortune and death, and in this case
Judge they represent the misfortunes
about to overtake the republican party
And the change from y jnbilant mood
to one of sadness. riot aud confusion
also points to tho defeat OF that party.
And yet my Judgment, based upon tile
general situation of political affairs,
gathered from the news Of the dly,
has. up to Il late date, been the reverse
Of that deduced from the foregoing
dreams.
;. \ gentleman (rcpublican), resid.
ing in Chicago. dreamed that there
were two piles Of ice. 1t was said that
ono pile Was democratic ice and the
other was republican ice. The demo-
cratic ice WAS in the shade but the re.
publican ice was exposed to the sul
and WAS melting and dripping. The
republican says: I'VE put ny ice for
the Summer heat, they AGAINST it,
M'ny other scenes followed, but none
Indicated decided results.
In the same number appeared the fol.
lowing remarkable prophecy, relating
to the election and the events which
are to follow:
STILL POINTING TOWARD GROVER
CLEVELAND.
From Nm.J. Duv. in the Little Rock Gazette ]
The reading of Jtssup's Dream in
last Sundays Gazette, called to my
mlnu 4 singular prophecy made by an
eccentric old man named Taylor, in
January. 1865. Taylor then lived near
Brownsville. Tenn. and Mr. Joe Riggs,
James Hooker and myself. then in the
confederate army, took refuge in his
house from u sn"wstorm then prevail.
ing. The old gentleman was y pro-
nounced union man, and WAS tolerated
by his neighbors ON account of his &C.
c"ntrcity, and they said, "the old
man is crazy"
lie met us at the door and 1T once
commenced to preach and prophecy
from the bible, and continued to until
we left. which was in about four hours
Among the many things lie propllesieu
he said:
''You are rebel soldiers and want to
break up this union, but you can't do
it. God has decreed that the South
must live under the same governm cut
as the North, and the rebellion cannot
succeed The southern armies will
surrender in May or june, and Lincoln
will cease to be president within 4
short time before March i, 1865, or Il
short time after, I cannot tell which.
\ quasi peace will be established in
May or June, 1865, and the government
will then be administered by the Lin
coin party for about twenty years.
Then new man, almost unknown to
the nation, will be taken up by the op.
position party and elected president.
Then a political war will rage and the
northern states will be the principle
field of battle. When this war is over
the capital will be moved to the Mlssis-
sippi valley, another constitution be
adopted and 4 new government built
upon the ruins of the old one. Then
peace and prosperity will prevail fol
many long, long years.
I refer you to Bggs and Hooker
who live at or near Colliersville, Tenn.
for ths veriication of this. We too
said the old man WAS crazy, but the
death OF President Lincoln, with the
surrender of the southern armies, were
so fully in accordance with the proph-
ecy OF Mr.. Taylor that we We're forced
to believe the old man had method fr
his madness.
In the Novembor number Of the
same magazine the following appeared
