III FORT WAYNE.
The Remains OF Gen. LawtOn Lay in
State in That City, His Former
Home, For One Day.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Jan. 6.-The re-
mains of the late Maj Gen. Henry w.
Lawton Monday lay in state in this
city, his former home. The occasion
was generally observed. Business
houses closed and thousands of visi-
tors came to the city from through
out the northern portion of Indiana.
The public schools were dismissed.
The special train bearing the re-
mains. Mrs. LawtOn and her children,
Maj. Gen. VIM. r. Shafter and staff,
and the military guard, arrived over
the Pennsylvania road from Chicago
at 1880 Monday morning. At o'clock
military and civic procession pro-
ceeded to the Pennsylvania depot and
escorted the remains to the rotunda
of the court house. The procession
was nearly mile in length. Among
the societies in the cortege were Sion
S. Bass Post, &. A. r., in which Gen.
Iawton was member; Harmony
lodge of Odd Fellows, of which Gen.
LawtOn was at the time of his death
the oldest charter survivor, and Sum-
NIT City lodge of Masons, of which
Gen. LaWton was member.
Borne at the head of Sion S. Bass
post was the shell-shredded battle
flag of the 30th Indiana volunteers,
which Gen. Lawton commanded in
the civil war. Nearly all of the sur.
viving comrades of Gen. LGwton in
that regiment and a number of sur.
vivors of the Indiana regiment in
which Gen. Lawton enlisted as a pri-
vate in 1861, marched in the process.

SCIENCE OF DREAMS.
Results of Series of Expert mcnts by a
German Professor.

German Professor.
Sleep is not "the brother Of ath, y
as the poets have said, flom Homer
to Shelby; but, on the contrary,
sleep is the brother Of life" so
Professor Baschide asserts, who in
an article in the Uaturwlssenschaf5
llche Rundechau, gives an account
of his experiments upon thirty six
dreamers.' HIS subjtc were or
various ages, from one year to eighty
wears. In some cases his observa
lions were continued during the
whole night, and in others for a
great part of the night. He watched
ard recorded every change of physi-
ognOmy, every mOvome of the
limb, and every speech or SOUND
uttered by the unconscious dreamers.
The depth Of the sleep was also
carefully measured, while from time
to time the CPeamerS were awaken
ed, but without their own percep
ton that the awakening was inten
tioual The professor obtained, as
he writes at length, the folio wing re-
suits: % We dream throughout the
whole Of our sleep which we imagine
an intimate connection between the
depth of our sleep and our dreams.
The deeper the sleep the further
back travels the retr aspect into the
past experiences of life, and also the
mere remote are the contents OF the
dream from reality. In "A light sleep,
on the contrary, the subject of the
dream relates to the experiences ana
CXcitements of the day, and has a
character of probability. (3) In a
comatose sleep the professor thinks
there may perhaps be no dreaming.
"a Persons who assert that they do
not dream "are the victems ofphysi.
cal delusion." (5) Dreams OF "a
moderate character remain longest
in the memory; the wilder the
dream the sooner it is fOrko5ten.-

SWAN VALLEY & COLUMBIA RY

A bill has been filed in the Chancery

a CAPITAL of $4,000 That the charter
was afterwards amended, changing its
beginning point to near the mouth OF
Swan Creek, running to the head-waters
of Carriers Creek. and thence down
Carriers Creek to the Nashville Il De
catur Railroad. That the said railway
company, while on its face it appears
to be a common carrier, is sham and a
fraud and is organize for the special and
exclusive benefit of the Nirginia-Caro-
lima Chemical Co., private corporation
of Richmond, Va, for the purpose OF
hauling its own phosphate from land
which it has purchased in the Car5er''
