A REMARKABLE DREAM.

Strange Story Told by a Respectable and

A most remarkable case Of a dream com

Thomas j. n. Stewart, a colored painter

o. The story, as related by Mr. Stewart, is
confirmed by his friends, who assisted him
in carrying out the hint given in his won
derful dream. He was seen by reporter,
to whom he related the following story:
''Some time ago l was bereaved in the
loss of my wife, and following the sad event

Fungi in an Old Mine.

When the old drifts of the Ophir mine at
Virginia City were opened the other day it
was found that tremendous growth of
fungi had in some cases nearly closed the
passages. 1t grew from the top and bottom,
and the'sides were clotted with it; but the
fungi growing from the bottom was diff
ferent from the other. The foot-waIl fungi
had in several instances raised stones
weighing from fifty to one hundred and
fifty pounds, and some were held in the air
at height of over three feet. Some of the
fungi resembled human hair, they were so

large as broom handle; another kind

Cars Run Mith saiIa

Washington correspondence of the Phila-

curious cars used in the early days of rail-

the curator, pointed out one particular one
that had mast and SAIL Experiments with
such cars were made on the Baltimore &
Ohio road and on the South Carolina road.
1t was then serious question whether the

was still looked upon as an experiment.
Sail cars are used to-day on a guano rail-
road on the island of Maiden, in the south
Pacific. They are, in fact, used nearer
home than that, for railroad men at Bar

has good deal TO do with railroading even
to-day" Mr. Watkins said. If YOU go to the
bureau Of intelligence at the Broad street
station, Philadelphia, and ask whether some
train, say from New York, is likely to be on
time, you may be informed that it is likely
to be four or five minutes late, because
there is strong wind from the west. Winds
