Puck could put a girdle round about the
world in forty minutes, but he was slow
compared with the most ordinary dream.
We survey mankind in China and Peru at
the same instant of time, and in the course
of one revolving moon we may walk with
Plato in the groves of Academic, applaud
Luther at the diet OF Worms, set out for
holy Palestine with C~eur-de-Lion, assist
Noah In building the ark, and call on the
mountains to cover US at the day OF judg-
ment.
Many stories are told showing the differ
emit coun of time. Lord Brougham relates
that he dreamed adream of long continued
action during a short doze while a droning
counsel was pleading before him. Lord
Holland fell asleep while listening to some
one reading, dreamed a long dream, and
awoke in time to hear the conclusion of a
sentence the first words of which were In
his ears when he became unconscious. DR..
Abercromble relates that a gentleman
dreamed that he had enlisted for a soldier,
Joined his regiment, deserted, had been APP
pretended, carried back, tried, condemned
to be shot, and at last led out for execu-
ton. After all the usua preparations he
awoke with the report, and found that a
noise in an adjoining room had both pro-
duced the dream and awakened him.
Another dreamed that he had crossed the
Atlantic and spent n fortnight In America.
In embarking. on his return. he fell into
the sea, and, having woke with the fright,
be found that he had not been asleep ten
minutes.-All the Year Round.

Coming across on the Aurania with me
were a number ofinten5ely conyiviAl spirits,
among whom were several ladies'. Accord.
ing to custom, as the steamer approached
Sandy Hook. the steward made up his bill
for sundries, and presented the several ac-
counts to whom they belonged.
A genial old party from Chicago offered
to match pennies with a man from Pough-
keepsie In order to see who shout pay for
the cigars. The man from Poughkeepsis
won.
Then u New Yorker became Interested
and offered to match the victor for his bill.
The man from Poughkeepsie again won.
Then all of us In turn matched him for
sundries. and the man from P~oughkeepsie
still won. In fact, the man from POUCH
keepsie won everything.
The last to match him was a somewhat
giddy specimen OF young womanhood OF
the blonde persuasion who hailed from
Detroit Sh had a bill to pay. and again
the pennies were Tipped with the usual re-
suit. For the fourteenth time the man
from P~oughkeepsie was proclaimed the
victor.
"Oh, Mr.. So p%etulantly exclaimed
the representative from Detroit, "you
ought to give me another chance. I'm
sure you couldn't beat me again"
The man from up the Hudson smiled
gravely.
Madam" he said. 81 promised a diving
brother Just before l sailed never to beat
anybody at anything from seven up to
matching pennies more than fourteen
times"
He then politely turned on his heel and
went on deck. II didn't travel one season
with Hermann for nothing" he afterward
observed as he made his final adleu.-

now spain SeIA = LttIle Tobacco
On our homeward way we encounter the
nightly exodus of Spaniards, male and fe-
male, young and old. who come into the
town on daily permits for trade or labor,
and have to return before the fortress RAtes
are closed. OF these there are between three
and four thousand, and many of them make
a handsome income by daily smuggling
small quantities Of tobacco, concealed by
many devices in their clothing or their
loads. Their numbers arc so great that,
even II the Spanish frontier guard does not
afford some co~nniyance, which Is not very
improbable, It must be impossible to search
them all effectuAlly. and the women especi-
ally are the greatest and most successful
defrRuders of the Spanish revenue.
Any one who waits at the Landport gate
may see stockings, dress improyers, and
other recesses being stuffed, coram publIco,
with small packets, which, as the average
profit Is 20 pet cent, will well pay the
trouble and risk of carriage. 1 was told of
one very successful method OF smuggling
which Is much practiced. Dogs are brought
to Gibraltar from their Spanish homes
From six to eight pounds weight OF tobacco
is tied u their necks, and with this
they run straight home, carefully avoiding
everybody In the shape OF a custom house
officer. They are trained to crime by the
Agency of men dressed in custom house
uniform, who thrash them numerically,
and thus instill 4 wholesale horror of the
appearance OF a government servant.
Nor are frauds committed upon the Span.

that the food supplies for the Gibraltar
market have been cunningly tempered

John L. Ke.pond. to sInrIn.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE following
letter dated at Hszleton, Pa, and received
at the Illustrated Ne1es office on Saturday
from John l. Sullivan, explains itself:

would be very foolish for me to throw up
a comfortable contract just to
date Slavin OF the Ormoude Club. l am
making good money in a very agreeable
way, and | do not intend to fight until
the best Of these fellows has been picked.
When l DO. battle again il will be here in

The cause OF T~alleyrand's lameness has
long been a matter of dispute. During the
hfty-two years which have elapsed since his
death his deformity has been accounted
for in all manner of ways.
Some stories ave It that the defect was
conRenital; others that it was occasioned
by an accident which befell him in his In
fancy. The most curious explanation of
all is that offered by a writer in The Quar-
terly Review. ITO quote the very words
of our Informant, an eminently distin-
guished diplomat, says the writer, '"Tal-
leyrand's Vienna colleague, Baron Wessen-
berg. told me years ago that his lameness
was owing to carelessness of his nurse, who
laid him down in a field while she hirted
with her sweetheart, and on coming back
to her charge found some pigs dining on
the infants legs. am sure that Wessen-
berg told me this as an established fact,
and / am all but sure hat his authority
was Talleyrand himself"

IT seems a little queer, says the Raw
Inns Journal that those Republicans who
shout the loudest for a protective tariff
high enough to shut out all the world,
claiming that America can exist without
any commercial dealings with the rest of
the world, are the very men who oppose
an American system of finance-the tree
and unlimited coinage of silver-basing
their opposition upon the ground that
America cannot have free coinage with
out the consent Of the great commercial
countries Of Europe. We merely give
this as a specimen Of Republican consist
encs. Our readers can make their own
