Dreams and Position During Sleep.

1t would he very interesting to get exact
observations as to the habits of all the
lower tribes of men with regard to sleep
ing, for it is a point upon which good
deal would seem to depend, if, as Tylor and
most of our anthropologists believe, mans
first ideas of spirit world arose from
dreams. We know that most of our do
nestle animals dream, as is proved by their
movements while asleep. and the same
thing has also been observed in monkeys.
The effect of the position of the body
during sleep upon the character of our
dreams is too well known to require COM
ment, for probably every one has expert
erced the very disagreeable results of sleep
ing on the back.-Nineteenth Century.

irregular in an early convention, They
did not disprove the observation of Mr.:
Dayton, for example, that the con-
venience of the farmer and the rural voter
is best subserved at this season of the
year. and that in no sense can q mid
winter convention initiate against an ex-
preston of the sentiment Of the party
All this talk about Democrats being in
evitably debarred from the voice to which
they are entitled Is simply thrown in for
stage effect and means nothing more.
IF the Cleveland MODES will take the
advice of good friends and well wishers,
they will accept the convention provided
for them by the regular state committee as
being the best for the paity's interest and
do what they can to control it. Mr.. Cleye-
land has controlled other state conventions
and this one should not be a folorn hope.

A week from today the Wyoming State
Democratic committee will meet at Chey-
enne TO select six delegates to the national
Democratic convention, to be held in
Chicago on the 2lst of June. Aud by
something of a coincidence the Democrats
of New York will on the same day elect
their delegates to the same conventIon.-
Laramie Republican.
The purpose of the meeting of the
Wyoming State Democratic committee in
this city next Monday is not to select
delegates to the Chicago convention but
to fix upon a time for holding a state con-
v%ention which will elect the delegates.
There seems to be a misunderstanding Of
the purpose of the meeting in several
quarters, but under the call it is simply to
fix a time and place for holding the state
convention, and nothing more.

An Appeal.

In this great commonwealth the young
women are far in the minority. What
we need is about seven train loads Of the
gentler sex annually shipped here from
the east, and o we would see the I'M
trodden valleys of the west blossom like
the rose. For many years the young
men of u country have come to the
west to seek their fortunes and find a
home in the land of the setting sun, while
the girls have been compelled to remain
with their parents and friends.
1t is true that many girls are holding
down claims, but in these same woods
there are at least a thousand old as we'll
as young bachelors living out their allot-
ted threescore and ten years in utter
loneliness. The young ladies of Wash
ington are intelligent, pretty and viva
cious, but we need a large number of
them. From across the broad fields Of
the great west we seem to hear a mighty
voice saying, Come west, young woman
come west .-Sprague Wash. advertiser.

The crescent has been known since
time out of memory. In ancient mythol-
ogy it decorated the foreheads of Diana
and of Astarte, the Syrian Venice. In
the days of Rome's greatest glory the
ladies wore it as an ornament in their
hair. Since the foundation of Constan-
unople (the ancient Byzantium) it has
been the emblem of the city, and as such
adorns its walls and public buildings,
besides being stamped on its coins and
postage. The legend which accounts
for its universal adoption in Turkey, and
Constantinople in particular, is as fol-
lows:
Philip of Macedon laid siege to the
city in the year $40 B. c. He chose a
night of unusual darkness for the pro.
posed assault, but was foiled by the
suddenly breaking from behind q
cloud. In commemoration of this prov,
idential deliverance the crescent was
adopted as the symbol of the city. The
Mohammedan sultans were slow to as.
sumo this emblem until some one men.
toned that 1t was the symbol of increas.
ing greatness, power changing as rapid.
ly as the phases of the moon.-St. Louis

Tom Corwin was not only n very elo-
quent man, but he was the most re-
nowned wit and humorist of his party,
just as the late Samuel Sullivan Cox was
of his party at a later day. Corwin's
sense of humor sometimes got him into
difficulty, and on at least one occasion
lost him votes. He was on a campaign
tour, and had stopped for the night al
the house of a wealthy farmer, whose
wife wa as eager to display her boob
learning as her hospitality.
These efforts took the form of big, un.
usual words, which sometimes had "a lu.
dicrous M~alapropian flavor. She pre-.
pared q most excellent and elaborate
breakfast for the distinguished orator
and his party, and then seated herself at
the head of the table to do the honors.
She poured out a cup of coffee, and then
with a gracious smile, turned to the
orator and asked:
"Mr. Corwin, do you take concomit-
ants in your Golfer"
Thank you madame, replied Corwin
gravely, 81 will take a little sugar and
cream, but neither salt nor pepper"
He didn't get a vote in that family,
and scarcely N in the precinct, though
both family and precinct were usually
Whig.-Washington Post.

AN UNPREJUDICRD OPINION.

In the midst of the alleged holy horror
eneenderad by the calling OF 1.-THE mid
winter convention" in New York it NAV
be instructive to read the utterances on
this subject of a strictly independent
newspaper which is published at the seat
of war. This, in conjunction with the
fact That the Cleveland hosts have been
selecting delegations in Pennsylvania ever
since the first of the year, may prove
highly interesting. What We append
below is taken from the editorial columns
OF the New York Aduertiser which, while
it has strong, clean cut views on every
public issue. is not and never has been
tied to any political party. This is what
it SAYS:
THE only possible results OF midwinter
meetings at Cooper Union or elsewhere,
to protest against a midwinter conven ton
at Albany is to disrupt the Democratic
party in this state. Not only that but it
will create dissension in the ranks through
cut the country generally. If this is a
desirable thing to do from a party stand
point, the Cooper Union meeting was con-
ceived in wisdom, though brought forth
in tears, and should be repeated at fire.

A street Magician.

The following account of an amusing
adventure is vouched for by the highly
respectable gentleman to whom the in
cident occurred. II was walking down
one Of the principal streets of San Fran
cisco on a windy afternoon, when a sud
den gust of wind lifted my high silk hat
(for l had been making some visits and
was clothed in my best) and sent it spin
ming down the street. OF course l started

reach it my unfortunate tile was picked
up by n gentlemanly looking person who
was apparently about to return it to me
with a bow, when he suddenly ex-
claimed, Il beg your pardon, allow meT
and he drew out of my hat a cabbage.
"'This is very odd,' he continued, as
the half dozen idlers who had been

ing my hat, and the magician, followed
by a small crowd, took his way up the
street ready to play his tricks upon any
other likely subject. New York Trib-

One Bold Girl Cow, a Mob.

In the Jail is a man who was caught

nounced his determination to guard the
Jail at all hazards.
At ~ o'clock at night a summons
came for him to open the doors and give
up the prisoner or the jail would be
burned down. As the structure is wooden
this would have been an easy matter
and the sheriff decided that he had bet
ter succumb to the mob than e~ndanger
the lives of the other inmates. He &C.
cordingly made the announcement to
his deputies and sent one to inform the
leader of the mob that he could have
the prisoner. During the parley the
sheriff and all his deputies went outside
of the Jail, when suddenly the door was
slammed and bolted. A girl about nine.
teen years old appeared at one of the
upper windows and told the ~astonished
crowd that they could not have the man.
She was Susan Dorder, the daughter
of the sheriff. She said that she was
not afraid of the mob and would shoot
the first man who attempted to approach
the place to set it on fire. She would
not let her father back into the house,
and told them that they could not ac-
complish anything by remaining. The
mob talked a little and her chesred the

The fashion Is changed altogether
now in mouths" Miss Sweet Eighteen
assured me. Wbersat from the depths
of my bewilderment / echoed, Fashion
in mouths?"
Eyes, in holding Them" was the re-
ply. Don't you remember that a little
while ago girls had the chic mouth?
Sort of a held close smily look that went
with glances and hobs of the head, and
all that. Mouth fashions come from
actresses almost always, / think, though
we don't confess it, and some of us don't
know it. Then came the rosebud. That
went with the baby stare. A sort of
kiss me expression would be almost fast,
you know, if it didn't have the baby
stare to cover it up. That went for quite
a long while.
cit was a big thing for the girls whose
eyes could do it, and becoming to their
mouths, too, because so often real baby
eyes have big mouths that actually need
rosebudding. Then we mad the serene
mouth. That was a very exclusive fash
ion, because few could follow il. 1t
went with q stare very like the baby,
except that it was more grown up. 1t
was a sort Of high bred, l-don't-under-
stand-you-look that suited arched eye
brows beautifully. The lips were set
into a smile, One really had to be born
to that expression or one looked like an
electrified idiot But most of us tried it.
"Now the classic has come in. 1t be-

sion about them at all. 1t is the serene

1t must be two years ago
And then they were laid in the drawer;
There was no one to wear them, you know
For our own beautiful baby

She had entered the golden city
Where we hope to meet her some tina.
And though in the mending basket
There still were stockings small
There were none for a tiny baby
With daintiest feet OF all.
Yet again from the open heaven
A wonderful gift has come,

Inc appended extract from the majority
report Of the committee on coinage vii
be Of general interest: THE truth i:
that the conspiracy formed in the old
world, planned and subsequently, carried
through there and here, was aimed to
conflne the debt paying mediums Of the
nations concerned to the single metal
gold. For this purpose the par OF
centuries was broken.
Gold was decrced to rapidly rise in
value. thus adding so per cent to the
value of credits. euriching creditors.
public and private, at the expense OF
debtors and lax payers, enormously de-
pressing the value of labor and the pro-
ducts Of labor as compared to notes,
bonds and mortgages. The words.
free coinage of silver. sends a thrill
of terror to the promoters of this con-
spiracy and the beneficiaries. They know
that when this great government thus
throws ITS weight in the silver balance the
world will again be restored TO full faith
aud confidence in the future safety of sil-
yer as the money of the world. The con-
spiracy world he exposed aud defeated.
IL is this phase OF the issue they fear, not
the swapping of ship loads OF silver dol
lars. 1t is the restoration OF the bimettalic
par. 1t is the skeleton of defeated fraud
and avarice that turks in the closet of the
gold palace where called upon to meet in
battle upon the free coinage question.
The bushwbacking warfare waged
against restoration Of silver is the most
pJlent exhibition of the weakening OF the
enemy. 1t is urged frat hat all our gold
will 40 to a premium and be boarded. In
the next breath 1t is said that the silver
miner will become enriched by coming
his bullion worth seventy five cents into a
dollar worth a hundred cents, not stop
ping to think that this could not be so
unless the free coinage of silver puts it at
par with gold, In which case there could
be no premium on gold aud no boarding
for such reasons. The mex slogan is that
the billions of silver coins of other coun-
tries would Immediately be brought here
u exchange for our Soli, thu without
stopping to reflect that today we have
only Sl25, 000. 0G0 of gold in the federal
treasury, and even this cannot by any
proposed free coinage law be drawn out
in payment for silver dollars or coin notes.
Again it is said we give the silver
miner at our minis 81 for bullion that
C ists only Al cents without h~esitatiug q
to reflect that the gold miner, as
is often done, extracts five ounces a day
in gold, that We coin into $l0e, when his
days wages Is worth only SO or 81, thus
coming his product that costs but "a into
money of 800. There are no mining
statistics that can even approximate the
vast outlay of labor and capital, not to
say privation anl deprivation. wasted
absolutely IN the search for precious
metals, gold and silver. The old adage
that 1t takes a gold mine to word a silver
mine is an illustration of the costs OF such
mining. Many thousands waste their
labor and capital in Ruthless search tor
the hidden treasure"
The reference to the cost of gold pro-
duction and the amount realized from it
at the mlnts Is very neatly put.
