A Vision of the Past.

Strange dreams OF what used to be
And what dreamed would be, swim
Before my vision, faint and dim
As misty distances We see
In pictured scenes of fairy lands;
And ever on, with empty hands,
And eyes that eIer lie to mo,
And smiles that no one understands,
/ grops adown my destiny.
Seine say / wayer when I walk
Along the crowded thoroughfsres
And some leer In my eyes, and talk
OF dullness, when see IN theirs
Like fishes eyes, alive or dead
But surfaces Of vacancy
Blank disks that never seem to sec,
But CLINT and glow and glare instead.
The ragged shawl wear ia wet
With driving, dripping rains, and yet
II seems q royal raiment, where,
Through twisted torrents OF my hair,
/ zee rare gems that CLEAN aud shine
Like jewels In q stream OF wine;
The gaping shoes that clothe my feet
Are golden sandals. and the shrine
Where courticrs grovel and repeat
Vain prayers, and where In Joy thereAt,
A fair prince dofIs his plumed hat,
And kneels, and names me all things sweet
Sometimes the sun shines, and the lull
OF winter noon is like a tune
The stars might twinkle to the moon
II night were white and beautiful
For when the changer of the town,
And strife OF tr6.tc softens down,
Tho wakeful hungeT that nurse,
In listening, forgets to curse.
Until-ah, joy with dropping head
browse, and dream that am dead
And buried safe beyond their eyes
Who either pity or dsspise.

SOME COMMON sW1NDLERs,

We suppose that If list of the names
of people of New Haven who consult "for-
tune tellers" were published it would be of
a length that would surprise those who do
not consult them. And many of the
names would cause even more surprise
than the length of the list. This is world
of mystery. Everybody feels that there
are more things in heaven and earth than
are dreamt of in the philosophy of Horatio.
And there has always been an idea in the
world that some Of those things that can't
be dealt with by philosophers can be dealt
with by astrologers, claiHvoyants, and
other people who claim the possession of
unusual aud supernatural gifts. In
old times, If we can believe what We
read, some of these seers were very re-
markable persons, but In our day there is
little remarkable about most of them ex-
cept their claim to the possession of super
natural powers. And many of them are
so supernaturally ignorant and stupid that
one is tempted to concede that they may
have mysterious power on the ground that
they ought to have some evidence of mental
life.
A bill which has been approved by the
house judiciary committee of the Illinois
legislature and will probably become
law takes a very practical view of
''seventh sons of seventh sons" and
other beings who claim to be able to see be-
yond their noses into the future. This bill
declares that every person who shall for hire
or reward engage in the practice of fortune
telling, the forecasting of future events,
the discovery of lost property, or lost or
unknown titles to property, or of evidence
of any facts OF circumstances intended to be
| used in the determination of any suits at
law or equity, or other litigation begun or
pending or contemplated by any person,
or who shall assume for like consideration
| to inform others of their future affairs in
| this life in respect of birth, death, mar
| riage, divorce, or other matter or thing, by
means of astrology, clairvoyance, divina-
ton, spiritualism, palmistry, tranee-medi-
umship, the black art, magic, or by means
of any other alleged or pretended super
natural or occult arts or powers, etc, shall
be deemed q common swindler, and be
punished by fine of from $25 to 500 for
each offence.
Common swindler" is plain language,
but not too plain In this case. Most Of
those who tell fortunes are very common
swindlers, and those who are not common
swindlers are uncommon swindlers.

A RUM PARTY,

A RUM PARTY.
There was time when 1t was entirely
fair to call the Democratic party the Rum
party. 1t is q rum party still, in the slang
sense of the word, hut they do say, since
Brother Baldwin and the other teetotal
mugwumps Joined 1t, that 1t Is more re-
spectacle than 1T used to be, and that it
doesn't drink as hard as 1t did. This may
possibly be true of the party in New Eng
land, where Its character and membership
have somewhat changed during the last
few years. But rum and Democracy are
still ON intimate terms in that stronghold
of pure Democracy, the South. An indi-
cation Of what Democracy means In the
South is to be found In the fact that
"moonshinine" is again fourishing there.
It always fourishes moro under a Demo-
cratic administration than when the Repub-
Hcsns are ia power. The southern moon
sinners have been told that the enforce
ment of the internal revenue laws was q
purely Republican institution. Such men
as Senator Vance for instance, have pro-
claimed from the stump In the South that
when the Democrats got In possession of
the government the ''internal revenue
hounds" would be sent about their bust
ness. Says an old revenue officer: spent
several months in North Carolina soon
after Mr.. Cleveland's Inauguration in 1885.
The number of moonshiners In that section
increased more than 100 per cent. in q
stand why the revenue officers were
permitted to "perseoute" them after
the Democrats were in power at
Washington. I believe Mr.. Vance and
other Democratic orators explained that
1t was because the Republicans still re-
tained possession of the Senate. They will
not have that excuse to offer now, and the
revenue officers in the South will have
very lively time for the next four years.
The revenue agent who goes into the South
with any idea of maintaining the law will
take his life in his hands.
Even If temperance reform has started
in the Democratic party, as some of Its
members in New England say, 1t will take
long time to leaven the whole lump.
And perhaps 1t will be found that there
isn't leaven enough for the lump. A
melancholy rumor comes from Washing
ton that the President has had to stop
asking applicants for Office the question
"Do you drinka" Because they SO generally
and naturally mistook his idea and under
stood him to mean "What will you havea"
