wuMDr,s PHILOSOPHY OF DREAMS.

They Emanate from Sensorfal Impress
sions-MemOries Reproduced.
Wundt regards most dream representations
as really representations, since they emanate
from sensorfal impressions, which, though
weak, continue during sleep. An incon-
venient position during sleep causes the repre-
sentation OF painful work, perilous ascent of a
mountain, etc. A slight intercostal pain
becomes the point Of an enemy's dagger, or
the bite of an enraged dog. Difficulty in res
piration is fearful agony caused by night
mare, seeming to be q weight rolled upon the
chest, or q horrible monster which threatens
to stifie the sleeper. An involuntary exten-
sion Of the foot is fall from the dizzy height
Of tower. Flying is suggested by the
rhythmic movements of respiration
Further. ~those subjective visual and audi
tory sensations which are represented in q
waking state as a luminous chaos of an OBJ
scure visual field, by humming and roaring
in the ears, and especially subjective retinal
sensations, have an essential role" according
to Wundt. "There are shown to us in
Vulnerable birds, butterflies, fish, multi
colored pears, flowers, etc. But if
there be some cutaneOus irritation

caterpillars or beetles crawling over the skin

in some'of the bedclothes having fallen off.
An inconvenient position of the sleeper, a
slight hindrance TO respiration, or intsrfer-
ence with the action Of the heart, may be the
cause of dreams where one seeks an object
without being able to find it, or has forgot
ten something in starting on journey. The
movements of respiration may suggest to the
sleeper, previously mentioned, flying, but
this flight may be objective, and instead of
himself flying, he sees an angel descending
from the heavens, or a luminous chaos where
birds arc swiftly moving
The representation of dreams having SEN
serial origin may have mingled with them
those which arise solely from the reproduction
OF past memories. Parents or friends cut OIL
In the flower Of life, ordinarily appear in
dreams, because of the profound impression
which their death or burial has made, "hence
the general opinion that the dead continue
during the night their intercourse with the
living. Medical News.

A TRUE STATEMENT.

The Rockdale Messenger hits the nail
on the head in the following article, as
it says if it depends on the people as 1t
ought, there will be no doubt as to who
will succeed Maxey in the United States
senate:
If the election were by the people di-
rect there would be no doubt of the result.
But it is by the Legislature. There has
not been meeting of that body since the
celebrated Twelfth which has not been
surrounded and influenced by the capital
of railroads and other great corporations.
But of all the Hobbies ever assembled and
arrayed in line of battle in the corridors
of the capitol, the strongest, the ablest,
the richest and the most INSCRIPTIONS will
be that marshaled before the Twentieth
legislature to defeat A. W. Terrell for the
United States senate. 1t will not be the

public domain, and the protected manu-
facturers, who have ground the people for
the last twenty years and grown fat in
their ill-gotten gains-the great few who
have concentrated the common wealth OF

turned to the dining he bore little
silver tray, upon which lay white piece
of pastebOard.
The general put on his specs and pick

ed one of the ports, upset plate of soup
and exclaimed:

thunder did you get this card!" or words
to that effect.
THE gentleman is in the drawing loom
SIR" replied the frightened darkey.
The old gentleman had the rheumatism
pretty bad, and usually hobbies along on
cane, but he started for the parlor like
stag hound on the heels of an antelope
with his wife and family pell-mell after
him, in a state of CONSERVATION at his my
sterious behavior. AS the general entered
the parlor he was confronted by young
officer of the army, who arose quietly and
began:
Il am sorry to"
But that was as far as he got. The gen.
erals pallor had turned to crimson, and
interrupting the apology of the caller
roared in voice loud enough to be heard
at Cabin Johns bridge.
"Blankety blank yon, sir, what in the
name of George Washington and Andrew
Jackson do you mean by sending in this
| card to me, sir? How dare you, sir?'
and he continued for some seconds in the
same strain, until the fumes of the brim
stone seemed to be curling around the
chandelier, and there was every indication
that the old warrior would go off in fit OF
apoplexy before he finished.
Meantime the young officer and the mem
bers of the family were protesting remon
strating, and trying in vain to quiet the
old man down so as to get some explaina
ton for his extraordinary conduct.
After great difficulty he was persuaded tC
explain, and held out the card he haG
kept in his hand during the riot. Then
the cause of his excitement was seen
The engraved words npon the card read

A."
And with great modification the young
officer explained that he had been carry
ing one of the late generals cards as g
mememto and handed it to the waiter by
mistake. The object of his visit was moi
explained. The old general, who is un
usually superstitious, was in a condition OF
physical and mental collapse, and wher
the innocent cause of his agitation left

to get him to Washington Capt.

AUSTIN, TEX, May 81, 1886.

my name to be used in the coming demo-

ity to discharge properly the laborious
duties that would be imposed upon me at
the advanced age of seventy-one years. 1
am engaged in pleasant and useful en-
ployment in the Texas university as a
professor of law and government, for
which think am capable, and in that
position l am still serving the public &C
cording to the best of my ability in the
evening of my life.
do earnestly desire that my friends
and fellow citizens will not think of my
name in connection with the Office of gov
ernor either before or at the convention
do highly appreciate the compliment

to be candidate for that Office by nu-
merous persons in different parts of the
state. 1 esteem it as recognition of the
benefit of my services in the past. know
that l am not able to work as l have done
heretofore in the public service. 1 have
given this answer in substance to every
one who has spoken to me or written to
me on the subject, and hope it will be
sufficient to withdraw my name from con-
sideration in the selection of the nominee
of the convention.
Respectfully your obedient servant
O. M. ROBERTS
1t is to be hoped that this letter will put
a quietus forever to the attempted boom
ing of Governor Roberts for office. He
states fully and explicitly that he is not In
the race, and it is useless to send dele
gates to the convention instructed for
him. OF course a complimentary vote
would be fattering to the Old Alcalde, but
he ought not to expect even this if ii
would impair the chances of the candi-
date whom such delegates intended sub
stantially to support.

has had its deeper side. She is old for
her years, and too observing and tactful
to make many mistakes, which should
they occur, would be forgiven in one so
young and inexperienced, obliged sud
denly to regulate her life by the compli-
Gated etiquette of society at the capital.
One of her accomplishments is rare
gift for letter writing. In dress her taste
is very simple. Her common sense is
shown in naming an early date for the
wedding. A postponement would have
brought even more annoyance in the
way of gossip, and from the moment of
landing to the day of the wedding every
movement of the president and the bride
elect would have been subject TO the es-
