Dreamin. Dreams.
From Inter Ocean.


Men are often transformed to demons
through the medium of their dreams,
and the most peiceablo and inOffeading
men alive oftentimes have frightful
fights and dire Affections in their sleep.
These experiences have been wonder
immemorial, and there is ne distinction
in the dreamer as to race, or color, or
prior condition of seryitude. The slave
in sleep thinks of himself clad in robes
of Royalty, while the Gar Of all Russias
may for the time, be sunk into the per-
sOnsge of the most servile serf.
In biblical days the old men saw Wis
ions and the young mon dreamed dreams
and it is no lost accomplishment In the
busy times of the present. Then they
interpreted the voices of the night and
solved their hidden meaning as prOphs-
sizes of pleasing or of dire import. Now
they are regarded as species of psychic
logical phenomena that have ne basis
save the senseless fabric of a vision. De-
spite the unsatisfactory statement of
meRtal philosophy the dream occasional
ly presents a prem0nition that flashes
again to memory with the coming of the
event it forecasts. Nearly every reader
has had some personal experience that
will probably substantiate this state
ment, and yet to the modern mind the
practical benefits derived from dreams
are quite as fabulous and flimsy as the
material from which they are fashioned.
I IL is sadly suspected that the dreams
of to-day would defy the diyinatiOl Of a
Daniel, Skeptics lay the basis OF dream
action to indigestion, and assert that a
late dose of pie and cheese will cause
the most staid and sedate sleeper to
flame like a furnace, with the sentl-
ments OF a Romeo, to flee from eiviliza-
lion like Timon of Athens, or to single
handed fight the battle of Gettysburg.
The multiplied phenomena Of dreams
seem to have no solution in science. Oft
entimes the most unimagipative are
the greatest dreamers, and the notable
active minds the most sluggish in sleep.
Thousands of the good and great have
! like Luther, thrown inkstaRds at the
devil in their dreams, while an army of
criminals in the county Jail with peace
full rest seem to lie in Lotus Land. AS a
finale comes the dissatisfaction and the
unrest of dream, in that it never ends
climax to be reached, point attained
ia its invarlable defeit. But the fabric
never complete. is never exhausted in
resource, and the succession remains as
nnbrOken as in ages past.
Life treads on life and heart on heart
We press to close in church and mart,
To keen dream or grave apart.

The Agricultural College.

IL is understood that President Willis
accepts the presidency of the college up
on condition that the requirement in
the gressional land grant Of 100000
acres of public lands to each state, or the
establishment Of school of Agriculture
and the mechanic arts shall be fully com
piled with. The legislative act estab-
fishing the college contemplated this,
but succeeding legislatures nave never
been liberal enough to carry out the OBJ
ject. The income from the land grant
warrants the board of agriculture in
making a new departure. On the Access
sion of q new president Is also q good
time to inaugurate improvements which
will put tho college in the line of its
duty to tho agricultural and industrial
interests OF the state.
It ia not proposed to abate in the least
the Importance Of the agricultural de
partment, but to increase its value and
efficiency. We bespeak for the college
under Its, new administration q greater
developsment, greater influence and pop
ularity with the farmers Of the state,
that they may stand by 1t and support
ii with both means and students moro
fully in tina future than they have at all

Deepening the Mississippi.
From Chicago Inter Ocean.

FROM chicago Inter ocean.
Major General Q. A. Gilmore, Of the
United States army accompanied by Cap
tain +, V. Greene, of the army, and Prof.
T.. j. Desmidt, of Washin gtOn, arrived
in the city yesterday to give some expert
testimony to-day in a ease involving the
price for a certain extent of asphaltum
pavement. General Gilmore Is Presi-
dent of the Mississippi River Commits
sion, whose report of the work perform
ed during the year in the improvement
of the navigation of the Mississippi has
Just been made public. General Gill
more, who is stopping at the Grand Pa
ciic says that the work done by the COM
mission to deepen the channel of the
river along the two reaches that have
been worked upon has been successfully
Uniformed. These two reaches ere the
Plum Point reach, about seventy miles
above Memphis, and the Lake Providence
reach about thu. same distance above
lVicksburg. The reaches have length
of about forty miles. The purpose of
the EcOmmissiOR in its work is to deer
en- the channel of the river, which it ac
composites by narrowing the latter's
width and thus increasing the force OF
its current and its power TO remove the
sediment forming the shoals and bars
along its bottom. The system adopted
! is called tho contraction system, in ac-
cOrdance with which spur jstties, COM
posed of upright piles connected with
interviewer bushes, are built at inter-
walls of about one Thousand feet, and eX-
! tend from the shore out into the channel
of the river. By these agencies the riv-
er becomes filed up along its sides, and
| its channel becomes deepened. To fur
ther provide against caving banks. and
to secure greater permanency to these
jetties, mattresses of BRUSH weighted with
stone, are sunk against the hanks OF the
river where the current impinges with
destructive force. The commission is
not permitted to construct leyees when
the same are designed to prevent over
flows nor are they permitted to stop out
lets of water. Next season the commits
sion propose to construct works of the
above character at New Madrid few
miles above Cairo. BY this system the
commission has in many placeSsincreas-
ed the actual depth of six feet to four
teen feet, and can deePea the river up to
Cairo to depth of ten feet. The COM
mission asks an appropriation of $1,000
600 for its work, but, says General Gill
more, 1t does not expect to get more
than $3.000,000. If the bill passes the
commission will meet for new labor
early in March.

MAIL ROUTES.
In the state there are $685. miles Of
mail routes. OF the star service there is
1893 miles, which Is operated at cost
of $106, 1913. The railroad service is 4,977
miles in length. For transportation of
the mails on railroads the department
pays $451 .253 and for railway post0flce
cars $22,977, making total for railroad
transportation of $474,230. The steam
boat mail lines are 1916 miles in length,
for which there is paid $9,35l.
During the year the star service has
been decreased in length 224 miles, and
increased ia cost $25,32S. The railroad
service has increased ia length $50 miles
at cost of $S7,097. In the steamboat
sOrvlce there has been a decrease in
length of 489 miles, and a decrease in
cost of $6,O49. The reason why the star
service was Increased in cost while the
length OF the service had been shortened
is because of the allowance of extra trips
on existing lines to meet the necessities
of the country as developed.
There has been large increase in the
number of ponds of newspaper and pc
ri0dicals mailed at Detroit. and conse-
quent increase in the postal receipts
from this source. The number Of pounds
mailed during the year was l,431.770 and
the postage thereon $2S,635 40. This
represents an increase of 20S,310 pounds
and in postage of $f,166 20.

A Fashionable SMindler.

boston Corr Albany Journal.l
My other illustration of "9oody" Bos-
ton is not wholly in the svor of its
proper behavior, for it relat, to a new
style of swindling. One of the fashion
able caterers here has a restaurant in
Temple Place where women congregate
in the shopping hours, and where ex-
cellent lunches and dinners are served
in a large room upstairs at all times and
seasons. During the crash and craze of
Christmas week a suburban who had
been lunching in much haste walked
out without paying her check at the
desk according to the custom of the
place. She didn't discover her error
until seated in the train to go home,
when it was too late TO return to the
shop. The next day it stormed and she
could not 60 in town, but the following
afternoon she fastened to the restaurant
and with many apologies to the cashier,
paid her bill, saying she was afraid the
girl who had waited at her table might
have been made responsible for her de-
hnquency. "No, that was not the rule"
"Then why didn't some one stop me?"
asked the lady. "Oh that was against
the rule also. Ladies often went away
without paying, but nobody WIS al
lowed to address them. Ladies didn't
ike to be hauled backl" "But, then,
you must lose a great DEAL "Oh,
sometimes they come back, as the lady
had done because she had really
forgotten, oftener they don't re-
turn. But it is the rule never to say
a word. We should lose custom" The
accommodating cashier related what had
happened few days previously IN the
dining room up stairs. A most gor-
geously appareledi woman ahghted from
a carriage at the door, and went up
stairs, where she ordered an elaborate
repast with all the eft ceteras. Having
eaten her fill she suddenly looked at her
watch, sprang to her feet, and handing
a purse to the waiter said, would the
girls pay for everything with its con-
tents, as she hadn't a second to spare to
catch the Worcester train. She would
come again in a few days to get her
change and the portem"naie, and away

GORDON CAPTURED.
The Rebels in Possession of Kbar
0ums

ahS heDetS IN Possession OF Hhar-
0ums
The alarming news that Khartoum
had fallen into the hands of the Arabian
rebels under Ell Mahdi was received in
London on the morning of the 9th, and
as soon as it became known caused
widespread and intense excitement. At
first the report was regarded as a mere
street rumor, though some of the morn
ing papers issued extras affirming that
Gen. Gordon and the city he had so
long successfully defended had been
captured. All doubts were soon dis
PEELED, however, for at noon the war
office issued an official telegram from
Gen. Woiseley, announcing that the fall
OF hhartoum took place January 26.
The dispatch was to the effect that Col
Wilson arrived at Khartoum January 2s.
and was greatly surprised to find that
the enemy were in possession of that
place He Immediately started on his
return down the river and proceeded
under heavy fire from the rebels. When
some miles below the Shublaka cataract,
Col. Wilson's steamers were wrecked but
he and his whole party managed to
reach an island in safety, where they
are secure. A steamer has gone to
bring them back to the British camp,
near Metemneh. Gen. Wolseley saws
he has no information regarding the fate
Of Gen. Gordon, and does not know
whether he Is dead for alive.

A Greeley Reminiscence.


Ben Van Houten, Greeleys old bell
boy, is driving a milk wagon in New
Jersey, says the Journalist. He was sig
feet high when in the Tribune service,
and he had eyes like goggles and hand
like the hand of providence.
"Bub," said Horace to him, as he en-
tered his sanctum one night, Il want to
write for an hour or two, and I don't
want to be bothered. Keep all the
buns out of my ROOM"
"Yes, Mr.. Greeley" Ben replied in a
hoarse voice, for he had voice like a
bull of Bashan.
Within half an hour Ben Bruce, Den
mis- Mclaughlin and several other polit-
ical gadfiies tried to buzz their way to
the old mans room, but was summarily
squelched by Ben. Finally Senator
Henry Wilson of Massachusetts entered.
He had been on campaign tour in In
diana, and he wore the dirtiest duster
and slouch hat that had been seen in
New York since the departure of the
Pendleton escort in 1868. The senator
dropped his carpetbag and advanced to-
wards the open door of Mr.. Greeley's
sanctum, when he was confronted by
Ben.
Where are you going?" blurted
the watchdog.
"Im going to see Mr.. Greeley" the
senator replied.
Not much you hain't," roared Ben,
elevating his voice so as to make him
self solid with Horace. @Git right out
O here, or I'll help you out"
Gen. Wilson was mb-founded
His face, usually red, was made much
redder by Ben's manner.
Won't you be so kind as to take my
name into Mr.. Greelev?" he asked.
Ben looked hard at him and asked
his name.
Wilson," was the reply.
"Well," gaid Ben, "I'll go in and see
if he wants to see you"
He returned In about forty seconds
more agitated than ever.
Its just as / told you," he roared.
He won't see you; now, d-n you, git
out O. here"
Wilson turned to Amos Cummings,
night editor, who lay back in his chair,
bursting with suppressed emotion.
What's the matter, general?" he
asked.
Senator Wilson explained, while Ben
looked on in astonishment.
There must be some mistake" the
night editor remarked, "and I'll take
You in and introduce you to Mr.. Gree
ley"
They entered the great editors sane
tum together. Horace sat at his high
desk, his eyes close to the manuscript,
scratching away like a hen on fresh
sand heap
"Mr. Greeley" said Amos, "here's
Senator Wilson. You refused to see
him just now"
There was a moment of silence. Hor-
ace scratched away without looking up.
well he piped, in a shrill alto,
without removing his pen, 'the boy
said that q id old bum named Will
son wanted to see me, and 1 thought it
was Billy Wilson"
