A Dream of Death Fulfilled.
From the CINCINNATI Inquirer.


A remarkable instance of the hold super
stition has upon the mind of even the edu-
Gated and religions was recently exhibited
in the case of Mrs. Rebecca Byrnes, of
Helena, Ark, a lady noted for her intellectual
attainments and pious life. One morning,
arising in what seemed her usual health and
spirits, she summoned her children to come
to her.
One son was residing in Topeka, Kan, one
in New Orleans, two daughters were married
and living in Sedalia, Mo-, but, obedient to
their mothers call, they came at once, though
ignorant of the reason of their summons.
When all were about her the lady informed
them that she had dream, in which her hus
band, who had been dead for nearly fifteen
years. had warned her that she had only ten
days more of life. She sent for her children
to bid them goodbye, which she proceeded
to do with much calmness, but with the air OF
one who had not the slightest doubt that she
was already dying.
Her friends attempted to reason with her
and to point out the folly of placing such per
feet confidence in dream, but all to no pur-
pose, for the lady persisted in asserting that
she would depart from earth on such day
and exactly at a certain hour.
Her pastor demonstrated with her, and
even brought the seyerest censure to bear on
her superstitious credulity and at last Mrs.
Byrnes ceased to speak of the matter, so that
her family had begun to think that she had
conquered her fancy. She continued in
excellent health and pursued her usual daily
life, but inst before the hour she had predicted
would be that of her death she sought her
children and babe them goodbye, then, seat
ing herself quietly in an arm chair, expired
Just as the hour was struck. The physicians
declare that her death was due solely to, her
IMAGINATION.

A very interesting debate took place on
Wednesday night of this week in the colored
schoolhouse, near here. By o'clock the
house was crowded. The front seats were
reserved for the colored and the rear for the
white people, The assembly was called to
order by Mr. Harp, after which hymn was
sung and prayer offered. Then came decla-
nations by Levi Jones, Ernest Squirrel, Mary
johnson and L. Adams, an essay by Rebecca
Smith, followed by singing, after which came
the debate. The question being (Which Suf-
fered the Most Barbarity at the Hands of the
White Man the African or the Indian
Messrs. J. Butler and w. Squirrel took the
affirmative and Mr.. Harps and |. Adams the
negative The judges were Rev. Brown,
Elmer Cross and A. Smith. The question
was warmly discussed for two hours. Butler
and Harps both produced fine argument and
scored great many good points. Both
sides seemed to be sure they were on top, but
the judges decided in the negative, or the
Indian. Butler then arose and stated that he
would not talk on the colored man again,
amid loud applause.

Educate the Children.

There is nothing better for family of
children than good newspaper. 1t is worth
to them many times its subscription price.
1t is one of the most successful teachers. It
enlarges their stock of ideas and gives them
knowledge of men and things that they can
get from no other source. Compare children
who have the advantages of good newspaper
with those who have not, and they will be
found far more intelligent. Parents wrong
their children who fail to provide them with
this cheapest and best source of information.
it is no less valuable to adults than to child
rem. The man without a newspaper dwells
In zimmerman darkness. He is as much iso-
lated from the world as if he dwelt in a cave,
or in the impenetrable jungles of Africa. In
no other way can a man spend two dollars to
so much profit and satisfaction to himself and
family as by subscribing to good newspaper.

Is not known whether much is missing from
the bookcase or not. Several matches were
lighted and thrown around on the floor. The
thief took no pains to conceal the theft. One
thing, though, he would do well, whoever he
is, to come back and get the balance of the
rollers, as he neglected to take them all.
Also, if he should wish to get the handle
belonging to one of the tin cups, he can find
1t hanging on bush near the schoolhous.

AN OUTRAGE IN FREEDOM.
After Kind Treatment Two Colored Men Rob
and Threaten to Murder Their Benefactor.

Our Stacks Corner correspondent writes:
Mr.. Welton, very well known and highly
respected man living near Morgan's Run, in
this district, was robbed and threatened with
murder by two colored men on the night of
the 18th. Mr. Walton lives entirely alone.
Having retired for the night rap at the door
awoke him. On going to the door he found
the two men asking him to allow them to
come in and get warm. He admitted them,
and eheerfully rekindled the fire for their
comfort. IL being now about u o clock,
presently after pleasant conversation, they
asked for refreshments. He soon had quite
lunch set out. On finishing their hearty
meal the rullians fell upon him and demanded
money. He gave them 81 he had in his
pocket and told them in drawer they would
find $40 more. On failing to do so they
stripped him to his waist, declared they
would cut out his heart if he did not tell them
where he kept his money. As he had but
the Sl2 which he willingly gave up, he could
do no more, but this they did not believe.
They cut open his mattress, threw him upon
the straw which they had emptied on the
floor and lighted the straw. The poor old
man was so thoroughly frightened that he
could scarcely move. However they extin-
guished the flames before it had thoroughly
caught or before it had done any damage.
They abused his furniture, carried off flour
and would have carried the meat but it was
too heavy They overlooked the $40 in the
drawer. 1t was 2 a. m. when they left. a
neghbor happened in the next day, and Mr..
Welton told what had TRANSFERRED the previous
night. They soon got out warrants and had
Timothy Walker and Wyatt Hall arrested,
Mr.. Welton identifying both men. They were,
however, released on 5000 bail each. tmay
be law to bail such Williams, but such law is
only little better than none. 1t would be
wise if our legislature would enact a new and
better one on this subject at least Hall has
always been considered a well behaved young
colored man. Walker is middle aged and his
reputation is not so good. j. Ii. Steele, his
employer, became Walkers bail. and ]. Hall
and George Johnston, colored, for Hail.
