A singular Dream.

Mr.. William Talbot OF Alton Towers re-
lates that his father, Matthew Talbot OF
Castle Talbot, Wexford, Ireland, was much
surprised at the recurrence OF dream
three times during the same night, which
caused him to repeat the whole ciroum-
stance 20 his wife the following morning
He dreamed that he had arisen as usual
and descended TO the library, the morning
being haZy. He then seated himself at
his desk TO write. when, happening to look
up a long avenue Of trees opposite the
window, he perceived a man In blue
jacket mounted on n white horse coming
toward the house. Mr.. Talbot arose and
opened the window. The man advanced,
and presenting him with n roll of papers
told him they were invoices Of vessel
which had been wrecked and had drifted
In during the night on his son in laws
Lord Mosntmorris' estate close by, and
signed "Bell and Stephenson.
The very morning that he related these
particulars TO his wife Mr.. Talbot was
seated in his library when he beheld the
identical man OF his dream, clad IN blue
and mounted on "A gray horse, coming
down the avenue ~ trees toward the
house. He Immediately opened the win
dow and awaited the mans approach
The latter rode mp, and taking from his
pocket packet 81 papers gave them TO
Mr.. Talbot, stating that they were in
voices belonging 90 On American vessel
which had been wrecked and drifted in
upon his lord=hip's Estates: that there
was no person on board TO lay claim 10
the wreck but that the invoices were
signed "Stephouson and Bell" II will be

the dream and the tulhllment Of Il vas In
the trausposition of the names attached

One good feature is that the stage will
not be Mt the end of the building, as In
the other halls, but at the side, so that a
splendid view will be the result. The
main entrance will be where IL is now
and the stage directly opposite, in the
rear.
The stage will be 14xS5 and on either
side will be an ante-ro 7X12.
Five staIrways will lead to the supper
room down stairs and three will lead to
the gallery.
Besides the main entrance there will be
five exits, properly distributed, and it is
believed that it will be one of the finest
halls In the State.

RosEecRY's STAND.
Ne Says There win Be No Change OF Measures
But Only OF Men.

LONDON, March ia meeting of the
Liberal leaders was held 40 the foreign
Office yesterday. Lord Rosebery said
they missed the sublime figure which had
not only enriched the ministe erial bench,
but the house Of commons also II had
been thought that he (Rosebsry) ought
TO make a complete declaration Of his
policy.
There was no need OF such declaration,
he said. seeing that there would he no
ehanRe OF measures, but only OF men.
The cabinet had no intention OF receding
from the policy they pursued at the last
session. The honor OF England abroad
was safe In their hands. The Welsh
church question would receive the earliest
settlement, though he could not say
whether II would receive the hrst place.
IL would certainly be pressed 20 a definite
and successful issue.
Regarding the group Of Irish questions
the party was bound by every tie Of honor
to continue Mr.. Gladstone's policy. IL
would be an affectation TO deny that his
(Rossbsry's) speech in the house of lords
had raised doubts as TO his position on the
questions, but his critics must havs read
.he speech In a very cursory way, n they
imagined that he designed to depart from
= full acceptance of the Liberal policy.
Though the prime misister wac a lord
himself, the Liberals In the house OF com,
mons could be relied upon as q compact
party In support Of his policy abroad,
peace at home and progressive reforms.
IL was utterly untrue he said, that he de-
sired to drop home rule, and 10 was also
untrue that he had abandoned the cause
of temperance. He had dropped nothing,
but accepted and supported the whole
Newcastle program unreservedly.
The members Of the cabinet then dis
persed and joined their parliamentary
colleagues to hear the queens speech.
T. p O'Connor assured correspondent
last evening that ths anti -Psrnsllitss
would not issue manifesto, thus imply
ing that they were satisfied with Lord
Rossbery program.
The opening Of the new session of psrlia-
ment was very tame affair as far ~ any
manifestation OF publ interest was con-
eerned, and, indeed, the lords and com.
moners seemed to share the indifference
In large degree. Very few peers were
In attendance. and when the house OF
commons was summoned to hear the
reading Of the speech from the thyops
only about 30 members walked TO tie
house Of lords In response.
