Case In which the Condolences
We're Remarkable.
On an occasion during the civil war
| dreamed that | was standing beside
a road when there came marching
along it a strong column of prisoners,
with guards at intervals on the
f1anks. | asked one of these guards
who the prisoners were and where
they had been captured. He informed
me that they had been taken in an en-
gagement with the enemy on the
day before and that there were l 800 of
them. l then asked some bystander
what day Of the month it was and was
told that it was such a day of a certain
month. some six weeks later than the
date of the dream. The whole dream
was extremely distinct. and it made a
strong impression on me. | related it
to a number of my comrades within
the next few days and then thought of
it no more.
Six weeks later, on the morning of
the very day that had been mentioned
in the dream as the date when the
column of prisoners had passed before

CranflII Loses Libel Suit.

Dallas, Tex. Aug. 12.-The
jury in the case of the State VS.
Rev. S. A. Hayden, charged with
criminal libel, to-day brought in a
verdict of not guilty. The princi
pal prosecuting witness was Rev,
J. b. Cranfill Both are noted
Baptist preachers, and also pub
fishers and editors of rival Baptist
newspapers. Rev. Cranfill in 1884
ran on the Prohibition ticket for
Vice President of the United Sta
tes. He has long been secretary
and treasurer of the Baptist Mis-
sion Board. Unfriendly feelings
have existed between Crantill and
Hayden for a number of years, aud
they have frequently printed Sc
we're criticisms of one another A
few months ago Rev. Hayden got
judgment against Rev. Cranfll
and others for $50, 900 damage for
libel. Then Cranfill filed informa-
ton against Hayden charging him
with criminal libel, the penalty for
which under the Texas law is fine
of from 500 to 81. 900. or impris-
onment in Jail not exceeding two
years, or both fine and imprison-
ment. The alleged libel consisted
of Hayden's printing in his paper
that Cranfll had embezzeled mis-
sion board funds.
Judge Horee, before whom the
case was tried, ruled during the
trial that the testimony to establish
the truth of alleged libelous pub
lications could be admitted. This
was complete turning over Of II e
court decisions in Texas heretofore
on that point. and is regarded as a
great victory for the rights of the
press. There is no appeal from
to-day's verdict of the jury Rev
Hayden and his friends feel happy,
and the newspapers see an indirect
but important benefit to them.

A PAIR OF BIG FEET.
They Brought Woe to France and
Changed the Map of Europe.

Changed the Map of Europe.
The Princess Bismarck changed the
political history of France unwittingly,
and bur for her the Franco-Prussian
war might never have been waged
Bismarck was unfriendly to France,
but the Empress Eugenie hoped with
her beauty to influence him 50 that the
little trouble with France and Ger
many might be smOothed over She
therefore invited the German prince
and his wife to visit the court of
France, and the Prince and Princess
Bismarck arrived in great state at the
TuilerieS.
That evening there was a grand re-
ception, and Eugene received the
guests i'll gown which made her so
ravishingly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, stolid and in love
with his wife, stood and gaZed upon
her with admiration. And Eugenie
was not slow to observe the effect Of
her beauty upon him. She called him
to her side, and Bismarck came with
his wife upon his arm.
Now, the Princess Bismarck was tall
generous. AS she walked she showed
great deal of sole.
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugene an audible litter was heard
along the line of ladies. Bismarck,
who was quick as a flash, followed the
glance of their eyes and saw them rest
upon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter. The pOlit-
cal history of France was altered from
that moment.
\ year later. when Paris was be
sieged, Bismarck himself fired n can
non over the ramparts and those who
were near him heard him snout:
Take that for the feet of the Prin-
cess Bismarck"
The Slight was avenged.

A Great Many Eyes Ruined by At
tempts Mt Economy.
Looking back now to the time when
tie itinerant quack doctor and the
wandering dentist spread misery and
destruction over the land. we wonder
at the ignorance or carelessness OF our
fathers in trusting their teeth or even
their lives to hands SO untrustworthy.
A very similar thing Is done today by
people who buy spectacles or eyeglass-
es from men who sell them on the
streets or have their eyes fitted by op-
ticians who have no qualifications for
doing the work. ... ..
A surprising number Of people buy
their glasses from vendors on the
streets. They get glasses for 80 cents
which seem to them just ms good as a
pair they would pay SIS for having
made on m oculist's prescription. and
they think they have saved money.
Glasses acquired in all sorts Of ways
by Inheritance or exchange from q
friend or even glasses found on the
streets are used to the detrlment. even
to the destruction. Of the wearer's
sight. ."
"People seem to think glasses are
like clothes" said an old oculist the
other day. land If they are fairly com.
Portable and look well they ask no
further questions"
Another way In which people dam
age their eyes Is through carelessness
in trying to remove dust or cinders
from them. They try themselves. a
friend tries a rub, the nearest drug
store and the nearest opt!cian are call.
ed on, all before an oculist Is consult.
ed. The result Is that the eyeball is
often badly rubbed and scraped. and
in many instances permanent injury IL
done.-New York Evening Post.
