A Remarkable Dream.

Belief in dreams has received new
adherents in Lincoln county, Me-.
owing to some strange circumstances
attending the finding of the body OF
Elbridge Call. The account is given
by The Bath Times as follows: For
three or four days three or four hun.
dred people had been diligently
securing the woods and examining
the ponds in the vicinity, when a
brother-in-law of the missing man in
whose care Calls motherless child
had been left, dreamed that he had
found the body ofCall drowned under
a bridge. After telling his wife and
Others OF his dream he started to fol-
low down q creek not far from his
farm, over which his dream had 10.
Gated bridge. Upon arriving in
Dresden he sought his intimate friend
and brother-in law, MIR. Bowman
Myers, and they both made their way
to the little stream from a directly
contrary direction from Calls home,
and under the old country road stone
bridge, SO old that old people say
that it was built before their time,
they found'the body.

An Ell Verano dude who had fallen
into the creek and was nearly drowned

A PUSHED Colt.

A class in San Francisco art school
was recently startled by the sudden ap-
pearance in its midst of a dilapidated
lrishman, who, with tears in his eyes,
begged for enough money to get him
bite" The first impulse of the pre-
siding genius was to request him to
move on, but his picturesque qualities
suggested that he be given chance to
earn his supper by sitting as a model.
'Sit down." said the instructor,
kindly. "If you will permit these
young ladies to paint you, we will pay
you four bits. What do you say?'
CAV DILL let EN- wha-at?" replied the
beggar, with a puzzled look on his,
face.

Dangers Of Plutocracy.

The danger that arises from this
unequal distribution of wealth and
its accumulation in the hands of the
few is altogether real. 1t increases
the power and influence of a pluto
cratic class, which tends more and
more to direct the forces of society,
to subsidize the press and even the
pulpit, and to confine the manage
ment Of political parties, the result
of elections, the action of legislative
bodies, and the course of public ad-
ministration. The real peril at pres
ent comes from the fact that pub
lie policy has been adopted in the
past and still maintained, which in
wolves the pecuniary interests of cap
italists directly in the course of legis-
lation and the action of the govern
ment. The taxing power of the gov.
ernlent is used for their benefit, and
SO long az it is SO used they will en-
deavor to control it's operation. This
has done more to build up pluto
cracy, and does more to maintain it,
than oil other causes combined, and
the most effective means of averting
the danger of it's absolute and per.
manent control in public affairs is
the adoption ofa system of taxation
that shall give it no advantage

A Duel with Rum.

A novel kind of duel with a tragic
termination has just takenplace out
side Paris between two rivals in the
affections of the buxom barmaid ofa
wine tavern. The rivals were broth
ers, and they resolved to drink CO
pious libations of fiery and undiluted
rum until one. or both should be
overpowered. The alcoholic article
sold as ''pure Jamaica" in Parisian
taverns is bad enough when well
watered, but when taken neat and
in large quantities it is worse than
the poisonous absinthe with which
too many Frenchmen ply themselves:
The brothers began their "rum duel"
before the eyes Of their damsel, who
supplied them with the deleterious
concoction as they called for it. At
last one of them fell down by the side
of the counter and was carried home
carefully and restored. The other
went out into the frosty air full Of
liquor, caught q chill and died, thus
leaving the field free to his rival

She Won the Uub, ella.

W. j. Norris, a prominent mer-
chant of our town, thought to back
down one of our young ladies would
be a nice thing SO made her the fol-
lowing proposition recently: That
ifshe would take q little ten cent par
asol, which is about the size of a pal
metto fan, hoist it and walk up Main
street certain distance and return.
carrying it over her all the way, that
he would reward her with a silk um-
brella. She at first hesitated, but.
after making numerous futile at
tempts, finally made off with the lit
tie mushroom shaped concern held
aloft over her graceful form. She re-
turned in a few minutes bearing a
note with the signatures of number
of the clerks attached stating that
she had passed by or arrived at their
stores with the parasol in position.
Mr.. Norris gracefully turned over the
umbrella to it's rightful owner, and
the young lady departed with two
umbrellas instead of one. Mr.. Norris
will hardly make another such offer
soon.-Warrenton (Ga.) Clipper.

ALLOW for Bo,ton.

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to
the cultured and brotherly-loving peo-
pie of Boston. But little more than
twenty-four hours ago they held their
heads even higher than usual, in graft
fled pride, when they heard the inspir-
ing news that their most distinguished
citizen, John Lawrence Sullivan, had
handsomely ''done up'' the ambitious
Baltimorean, Mr.. Jacob Kilrain, who
had foolishly aspired to "down" their
great professor of slugging. Moreover,
they had the further qualification of
learning that their hero bore his honors
with characteristic Boston modesty.
II amt going to say nothin'," re-
marked Mr.. Sullivan to q newspaper
reporter. ''Let other people talk. If
l open my head it'll be said I'm brag-
gin and blowin'." If there is anything
a Bost0nian admires more than courage
it is 'umbleness.
But alas! in the midst of the glorifi-
cation of Boston over the triumph of
her favorite son comes dash of disap-
pointment On being questioned as to
his future intentions the great slugger
expressed his unwillingness to again
enter the prize-ring, and added that
''he certainly did not intend to fight
the California negro. for the reason
that he considered it entirely too de-
grading for white man to place him
self on an equality with a negro"

Curious Computations.

An electrical writer has calculated
that the firing of a small pistol sets
free about 600 foot-pounds of energy,
while watch consumes about one 54-
millionth of horsepower, the energy
of the bullet being sufficient to keep
the time for two years. An Edison
telephone transmitter requires about
thousandth of the energy in watch;
it would therefore be worked for two
thousand years on the energy exerted
in the pistol. A lightning flash of 8, $780,
900 volts and II, 600. 600 amperes. lasting
one twenty-thousundth of second,
would run a 100 horsepower engine for
ten hours.

Thsy Fiayel Billiards An Night

Agood story Is told of the late 8.
L. NJ Barlow's experience, several
years ago, with some Democratic
friends who had gone to his summer
home at Glen Cove, on Long Island,
to spend q holiday with him. The
party was made up of the late Gov.
Tilden, Charles A. Dana, then as
now editor ofthe Sun; Manton Mar
bile, editor of the World; Smith NJ.
Weed, since become prominent in
politics, and one or two other men of
position. After dinner his guests
made their way to the billiard-room
and began to play. Before long Mr..
Tilden confessed to sleepiness and
proposed to go to bed. Mr.. Barlow
accompanied him, with the purpose
of returning later to his pleasure
seeking friends, but when he got up
stairs hereached the conclusion that,
as his guests knew where to sleep, he
would follow Mr.. Tilden's example.
He did SO and slept soundly after
daylight the following morning. On
awakening he heard the rattle Of the
billiard balls, and concluded that as
his guests were such early risers, it
was quite desirable that their host
should get out as soon as possible.
He did so, and went to the billiard
room, where the game had proceeded
without interruption through the
whole night. He found at the door,
the only exit, his faithful but fierce
bulldog standing guard. The guests
had made, during the night, one at
tempt after another to get away
and go to bed; but the bulldog had
done his duty so successfully as to
prevent their departure, and there
was nothing else to do through all
the long watches of the night but to
return to their cues and billiard ta-

A Hairless Horse.

A very interesting equine curiosity,
in the shape of horse absolutely
without hair, arrived on the Alameda
from Australia on Saturday last, says
the San Francisco Call. It was exbibi-
ted to few connoisseurs in horseaesh
yesterday by the owner, r. A. Cum
ningham. The horse, or rather the
mare, for it belongs to the latter gen.
der, is a pronounced phenomenon.
Her skin is black and as smooth and as
fine as that of human being. She
stands little over Is hands high. and
is about seven years old. 1t would be
difficult to find a handsomer or more
shapely animal. She looks we'll bred
and is strongly developed. In action
the movement of every muscle is plain
ly discernible by reason of the animals
utter nakeiness. Were it not for her
abnormal appearance the mare would
make most excellent carriage horse.
Anything more peculiar than the ap-
pearance of this beast, with her smooth
shiny skin, black as ebony, attempting
to whisk from her back, with a hair
less. stumpy tail the flies clustering
there, it is impossible to conceive.
The softness and smoothness of every
portion of her anatomy, even where
the name ought to be found, precludes
the idea that the hair has been gotten
rid OF artificially. as by shaving, The
black-leading process, which has not
infrequently been used in the prepare
tion of freaks of this character, has not
been resorted to here. Viewed from
behind, something in the make of the
animals back suggests the elephant.
Mr.. Cunningham purchased the mare
in Eshuca, Victoria, from a farmer.
who utilized her as buggy horse.
She was driven every day distance of
ten miles, her tender skin being pro-
tected by rugs and blankets.

The Jester,

There has probably never been any
greater degradation of genius, nor
many sights better able to makegods
and men weep, then the old employ
ment of the court jester. After the
custom of having a court fool had
held sway during many reigns, the
fool gradually ceased to be the dwarf
or imbecile who had an object ofgen-
eral ribaldry in the beginning, and
became some onesuperior in intellect,
it not in person, to most OF those
about him; a man very frequently OF
undoubted genius, not great OF
masterful or we'll born enough pos
sibly to direct the course of empire
or be the crowns minister, in an age,
too, of warriors, but often fully cap
able of understanding and criticising
the details of statecraft, q man of
undaunted courage, and OF the read
lest wit and the sharpest tongue, yet
he was put in motley, a jerk
in buttoned down the back,
his head shorn, and a perti-
colored cap with bells and an ass
ears and a cocks comb on it, a stick
strung with bells and called bau-
ble placed in his hand, and thus
made a mockery of already, he was
further rendered subject to the inso-
lence Of every silly courtier or page
who, as the saying goes, did not
know 80 much in his whole life as
the other forgot in a night.
Gradually, however, from this low
beginning, the court fool became a
parsonage whose powers of entertain
ment made him valued as any great
comedian is now by those that can
command him; his repartee ceased
to be of the ruder and grosser kind,
but was q refined and amusing
pleasantly, caustic and pungent very
likely, whence he became a person to
be feared and appeased, while often
he was q creature of pure wit and in
finite jest. With the advance of civ
ilization, and the opening of the
press to the people, this class of
mind found it's oportnnity in print,
and the court fool ceased to exist
