VIVA the Bsrsaford FnmIiy.
For three generations the Beres-
ford family have handed down as
substantially true n remarkable
dream story which Is connected with
a small pooketbook and q piece Of
black ribbon in possession Of q
member Of the family. So well
known and so well authenticated was
the story that a member Of the Beres-
ford family recently printed for
private circulation q short account
of the facts, of which, without Inn
pugning the sincerity Of his rela-
tives, he endeavored 70 give simple
explanation.
The narrative Is q love story as
we'll as n dream story. The heroine
Of IL Is Nicola Hamilton, the young
wife Of Sir Tristram Beresford. This
young lady appeared at the break
fast table one morning very agitated
and pale and with her left wrist
bound with q piece Of black ribbon
She replied 70 her husbands inqui-
ries by entreating him 20 ask her no
questions. She then said that her
brother, Lord Tyrone, Of whom she
had been very fond, had died on the
preceding Thursday, which subss-
quently proved TO be the case.
II seems that in the night Lady
Beresford had dreamed that her
brother sat by her bedside although
she declared he had indeed sat there)
and, after telling her whom her
child should marry and that her
husband would die before her. warn
cd her. with the utmost vehemenoe,
against marrying the second time.
IF you do remarry," her dream
visitor had said, you will suffer
from your husbands III treatment
until your death, at AZ. Resist every
temptation TO n second marriage.
Requiring some proof Of her broth
er's reality, he had, at her request.
touched her wrist with his hand,
whereupon the sinews had shrunk
and the nerves withered. She show
ed her wrist, bound with black rib
bon, but declared that it had been
forbidden her 70 uncover It.
When Sir Tristram died, Lady
Beresford, in spite Of all remon-
stranoes, Immediately sought absO-
Lutte solitude and retirement. But
life without friends proving unbear-
able, she consented 90 exchange Wis
its with a single family Of the neigh
borhood. In this family was n son
whom, after a time, she strove in
vain to regard with indifference.
Her love grew and overpowered her.
When the young man declared his
/ passion, she consented TO q private
union. All turned out as the dream
had foretold. In n year or so her
husbands 5 conduct was so bad that
she had TO separate from him. At ~
she died. After her death her wrist
was examined and found to bo as she
had described 10.
The most remarkable of the faots
connected with this strange story
the SCARED wrists explained by
the writer of the pamphlet referred
to above as follows: He considers
that Lady Beresford, who knew that
her brother, Lord Tyrone, was III,
dreamed that he was dead, and in
consequence became so violently ex-
cited as 10 injure her wrist. In the
morning she bound il up 50 tightly
that in course of time the sinews

California has been most fittingly
termed the Italy of America" All
the delicious balm, the cloudless sky,
and the rich verdure Of the great Eu
