1ABOUT DREAMS.

Eminent philosophers declare that
there is no such thing as dreamless
sleep. They hold it is the body which
sleeps, the soul that dreams; that the
former needs rest, and the latter does
not; that, while physically fettered,
the souls natural expression is in
dream. The soul being immortal,
incapable, independent of stay OF
stop, must necessarily perpetually
dream. Because we do not remem-
Der our dreams is no proof that we
do not have item. Persons on
waking may feel confident that they
have not dreamed, and yet during
the day some outW ard happening or
passing thought will by force of asso-
citation recall the dreams they mad en-
tireiy forgotten. 1t is questionable
if dreams every go entirely out of
memory. They nay not be iecollect-
ed for week or month, or a year,
but they are some time, though in SO
vague and shadowy manner as to
lose their identity.

ONE OUT ALL OUT.

y YOung clergyman, an enthusiast
at the game. recently sc himself to
organize Il cricket team in Bucks
county. TIE only available field was
owned by Il butcher, ii IOCd-uatured
but quick-temPered mar. who had
uever handled a bar. but was well
disposed towards the Dew minister.
When n committee, htaGed by the
pars0u. waited npon him, he respond
ed in tie most generous manner.
LenU his field. OF course he would.
More than that, lie would JON the
club ard take Il band i'll the r"me
now and then.
The clergyman was taken II little
aback. bat could Lot do les than aex.
PRESS his pleasure, aui the butcher
was duly enrolled its 4 member of the
club.
BY and by. fter Il little practice
the club al ranged Il "scratch :hatch'
among the mselves, and on hearing of
it the butcher at once declared his in,
tention of being present and taking a
share i'll Tie contest. rs lie was tie
owner of the field, itseemed courteous
to put him in first.
He was a little uncertain what to do
with his bat, but on being told that he
was to hit the bail he said if that was
all it was easy enough. The parson
first took up the bowling, and the
butcher had the honor of the opening
over.
The first ball sent the leg stump
flying, and in recovering from the
momentum of tremendous swipe, the
batsman himself knocked down the
other two. He took no notice, but
shaped for the next ball.
You can't play any more?' said the
umpire. You are OUT
"What?' said the butcher
YOU'RE out" yelled the tielders in
explanation. sit means you can't
play any more"
80, is that it," replied the butcher
Yes" said the tieldesr.
Il can't play any more?" said the
butcher, looking round angrily.
NO" replied the tielders.
81 am out, am II
"Yesn' yelled the tielders.
Then out of my field, every blessed
one of you.n roared the butcher.
And out they had to go.

lie hadn't been in ball game for
~ ears. He was one of the veterans
who talk about the old Knoxville
Reds, and about the merits of John
Houk or Marin Condor as pitcheps
ana OF win Hunt AS catcher.
They didn't need any of them
blrdcages and chest protectors in the
OLD days, tell you. The ketcher stood
right up to the bat with nothin OH
hut an undershirt, and if he got hit
III the lace he went right on with the
! game, and what's them hams thew
carry round on their hands, said the
old fellow.
ION, all the catchers and fielders
now wear mits It's easier to catch
flies, you know"
We'll that beats my time.' said
the old veteran. "Mitts? | reckon
that's to keep their hands from Citing
hurt. Why, doggone my cats, the
iielders in the sixties didn't wear
nothin. They'd have been ashamed.
They didn't think nothing of havin
two or three broken fingers and goiu
right along with the game. Say, the
wlmmen could play this game,
reckon. 5 putty nigh as soft as long
tennis or krokay.
Say, why didn't that chump ketch
that foul Oh the bound? Have to
ketch 'em on the fly. does he? Why
by links, in my day Teller had to
know Jdst how it was goin to bounce,
and you bet it took good Judgment
to tell which way the thing was
a-goin.
And they lowed them iist as many
balls as they wanted and plenty of
strikes too. This newfangled concern
amt no good. Mighty good thing
that they erected monument to the
mem,ry of Harry Wright, but I'll bet
you lie remembered what a good
game they useter have in the old days
when they only had one pitcher and
one ketcher."
And the old man raIubled on, and
thought this thing of making two or
three runs to game was bad piece
OF playiD ing.

Il didn't break it,"
"Oh, she did it herself, did she?
But perhaps ought not to say any
THU G about it. supposed, of course,
you broke it yourself, as she was SO
anxious 20 marry, and verybody

ION you needn't apologize. I'm
not worrying about it,"
That's right. Might l enquire
what made her break it?'

TO BRING KELLER BACK.
Detective ScuIIy 10 Leave for Mobile
To-day with IA warrant.

To-day with Warrant.
Barlow Keller will be brought back to
Savannah. Chief McDermott was in cor
respOudence yesterday by telegraph with
Chief Soost of Mobile, Ala, in regard to
the case. Chief soost wired first to know
on what charge to hold Keller. having
made the arrest by request of Chief Dam
pier OF Naldosta, who had been requested
to look out for Keller BY Chief McDermott.
Chief McDermott wired back that Keller
was wanted here for seduction and that
an c1ticer would be sent for him.
Mr. Sidney s. Keller, brother Of the
prisoner. and who is on his bond ltF $500,
had gone TO NaldOsta expecting to find
his brother there Mr. f. S Keller, an
other brother, lives at Naldosta. Finding
IN arriving at Valdosta that
mis- brother had oeen arrested
in Mobile Mr.. Keller went at once
to that city his intention evidently being
to take charge of his brother, as one Of
his bondsmen, and bring him back to Sa-
vannah. That this was the case was
shown by a second TELEGRAM from Chief
Soost TO Chief McDermOtt stating that S.
S. Keller was there and insisted upon his
brother being turned over to him. He
asked if he should accede to this request.

the proper course, and wired back to hold
Keller until the arrival Of an officer from
Savannah
MIR. ". d. Hodges. who was the pris-
oners bondsman jointy with Mr.. S. 5.
Keller the total amount Of the bond be-
ing 5000 was i'm consultation with Chief
McDermott yesterday. Mr. Hodges engaged
Mr.. T. S Morgan, Jr.. 10 advise him in
the matter BY Mr. Morgan's advice
kGIlaT'G
out ny Mr. Hodges before Justice Naugh-
lin last night Detective Scully will leave
for Mobile this morning with the warrant
to bring Keller back to Savannah. Gov.
Atkinson was te,egraphed about the case
and reply was received, stating that re-
qui 'tion papers would be forwarded to
Alabama.
Keller was convicted over two years
ago on the charge OF seduction, the alleged
victim being a Miss Marshall. The accus-
ed was ably defended and every effort
made TO show that the offense did not
warrant the charge of seduction.
The jury, however. brought in a verdict
of guilty. and Keller was sentenced to five
years in the penitentiary. His counsel
made every effort to secure a new trial.
The motion for a new trial was overruled
by Judge Faligant, however, and an ap-
peal was taken to the supreme court the
grounds on which the new trial was asked
for being that the judge had erred i'm sew
eral of his rulings The decision recently
handed down by the supreme court sus-
tained Judge Falligant on every point
The decision was in many respects a re-
markable one. Keller is well connected
here and throughout the state. His rel
atives and friends would make almost
any sacrifice to save him from the peni-
tentiary, but all legal means to this end
seem to have been exhausted.

COrOner's Jury VIII Consider Marie

Grants Death on Monday.
The inquest in the case of the colored
woman, Marie Grant, who died day before
yesterday from the effects of a wound in
the arm that was inflicted by John Rad
cliffe, said to be her husband was not
held. The only witness in the case is alb
sent from the city. She was a sister of the
woman, who was killed, and is now over
in South Carolina. Coroner Goette ex-
poets her to be back next Monday. and
will probably hold the inquest then. The
man, Radcliffe, is no where to be found
and It is thought that he must have left
the city
1t was decided by the woman's friends
yesterday that they would take her body
over to Beaufort for burial and this was
done. Radcliffe and Marie had become
engaged in a quarrel at the time the blow
that resulted in her death was dealt Rad
cliffe struck at her with a wood saw and
she threw up her arm 60 ward off the
blow ragged cut was made on the arm
from which blood poisoning resulted. II is
not thought that a verdict as strong as
murder will be brought, as there is no
evidence that the mans purpose was to
kill the woman.
The case is very similar to that which
was brought to the attention OF the po-
lice several days ago. i'm which Rosa
johnson was arrested on the charge OF
having murdered her husband The cor
oners jury found her not guilty, as she
had acted in self defense in dealing the
man the blow with an iron pot. As in
the case Of the Grant woman, blood pois-
oning ensued from the wound made on
the mans head by the pot. In neither
case, apparently, was IL the intention Of
