Dreamed OF Gold and Then Found It.

Charlotte, N. c., Nov. ga we'll
known Cabarrus county farmer named
Sternes, has found gold as the result
of a dream in which he says his wife,
who has been dead q years, told him
whore TO look for it.
"Last Monday night" he said, "I
could not sleep, and while lay awake,
my wife, who has been dead for 81
years, came and stood by me, and talk
ed to me. She asked me many ques.
tions, and told me that if I would 20

find gold--plenty of gold. She indi-
Gated the spot very clearly, and left
me. | scarcely waited for it to become
light, he continued, ito start for the
spot my wife had indicated, taking m
boy with me, and as soon as we could
see, began searching for gold. And
found this" he said, showing a rough
lump Of virgin gold about as large as q
mans thumb-''and I believe there is
plenty Of it there" His son also ex-
hibited several small Jumps of virgin

FIRST COAL OIL LAMPS.
came Raro HeIriooms In Possession
of Georgetown Family:

eome Raro HeIriooms In Possession
Of Georgetown Family.
A family living in Georgetown,
who have taken care Of old heir
looms left them by a long line of
ancestors, have in their possession
a number that,are exceedingly rare
and curious. The objects insaues-
ton are specimens Of the two.earli-
est coal oil lamps invented. The
mind Of man runs very much in a
groove, and, although he appears
anxious for change and progress,
there are few things that annoy him
more.
The first coal oil lamp, Of which
this family has specimen, was
made of brass, in imitation of a
candle and candlestick, even to
painting the upper part white in
imitation of the former. The in
terror Of this imitation candle held
the oil, the wick-a small affair:
the same, in fact, that was used ir
candles-emerging from an aper-
turc in the head of the metal can
die, Just as in the real one. Such q
thing as q chimney or shade was
unknown.
A short time after this lamp ap-
pearcd some other person invented.
a coal oil lamp made of glass, in i'm
itation of very large candlestick.
The middle part swelled out into
something like globe, in which the
oil was placed. It took some five OF
six inventions before the coal oil
lamp became what it is today. The
Georgetown family has a specimen
of the second lamp invented as well
as the first.
These first coal oil lamps are to-
day rarer even than candlesticks,
for the reason that only a few were
made, the improvement being so
rapid that the first awkward imita-
ton Of q candle had hardly reached
the market before some other per-
son began inventing lamps, each
little more like the coal oil lamp of
today than the first, until the in
vention was perfected. The spec,
mems in question are some Of the
first ever brought to America at q
time when they were curiosity and
when every one used candles

Scotch Macedons.

The pride Of the Scotchman in his
native land is well known, and many
stories have been told Of his ingen
1ous appropriation Of the wit and
wisdom of other nationalities. Per
haps no more amusing, instance of
this gift of transference has ever
been recorded than one eaid to have
occurred st q dinner given in Lon
don by members Of the Highland 60
ciety.
Shakespeare, Milton and all the
most important poets and prose
writer's Of present and past times
were found to have the saving strain
of Scottish ancestry, the proof Of
Tered in each case being entirely sat-
isfactory to the company.
at last there rose o man who
struck still more daring note.
"The-e's the Emperor Macrinus

bus, when you come to clear evi-
dence," he said calmly, "and why
has nobody mentioned Alexander
the Great, who was one OF the Mac
-Edons, was be, mot ?'

Medical Men Amazed.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Nov. 23.-
Medical men Of this city are amazed at
q most remarkable case that has come
to their attention. Itis believed to be
the only one of the kind recorded.
Yesterday negro of the name of AL
len dropped dead at the home Of Farm
er Halliday. Allen had been driving
akioking horse and when he reached
the Halliday house be was excited.
Within few mir utes he complained
of not feeling we'll and almost without
warning fell over dead.
Coroner Slooum directed an autopsy
and when this was performed the doc
tors found that Aliens heart and left
lung were connected by growth over
three inches long. Allen was 60 years
old and to all appearances the organs
had been in this condition all his life.
His heart was large and in good con-
dition, but his lungs showed that ho
was suffering from pneumonia. It is
understood that the heart and lung
have been preserved and that the case
will be fully treated in medical Jour
nails, so remarkable is it considered.

A Story About the Pansy.

A pretty fable about the pansy is
current among French and German
children. The flower has five petals
and five sepals. In most pansies,
especially of the earlier and less
highly developed varieties, two Of
the petals are plain in color and
three are gay. The two plain pet
ais have single sepal, two Of the
gay petals have q sepal each, and
the third, which is the largest of all,
has two sepals. The fable is that
the pansy represents q family con-
sisting of husband, wife and four
daughters, two Of the latter being
stepchildren Of the wife.
The plain petals are the stepchil-
dren, with only one chair; the two
small gay petals are the daughters,
with chair each, and the large gay
petal is the wife, with two chairs.
TO find the father one must strip
away the petals until, the etamens
and pistiis are bare. They have q
fanciful resemblance to an old man
with flannel wrap about his neck,
his shoulders appraised and his feet
in q bathtub.

Remember the Dog,

Pension Commissioner Ware was
sitting in his Office at Washington one
day when brigadier general Of the
regular army was ushered in.
"This is Mr.. Ware?'' he asked.
I'm that same" replied Ware.
"What can I do for your"
II don't suppose you remember me-
do you?' was the reply.
"Well, l don't know that do"
said Ware, taking side look at the
man again. and then under sudden in
epiration, butwith slow drawl, "but
l would like to know what the devil
you've done with that dog"
The stranger was astonished. but
laughed heartily, and the two had
chat. 1t seems that during the civil
war the two had been slightly ao-
quaintcd, the stranger being member
of the First Iowa. He was known as
reckless fellow, wholly superior to
the little nicetics of toilet and habit.
He owned bulldog named Major that
was the pet of the company. After a
meal the soldier would toss his plate
aside and call Major to wash the
dishes. Major would lick the platter
clean.
And it was this recruit of the days
ct 81 that walked into Wares office
the stiff, precise garb of the briga-
dier general of the regulars. Ware
did not remember him at first, but
suddenly was struck by something
familiar about the fellow, and, al
though he could not remember his
name, did remember the dog.-Iola

Two Very Wicked Cities.

Gen. William Booth, head of the
Salvation Army, and author Of .tIn
Darkest England" expresses the fol-
lowing gloomy views regarding Chicago
and New York. "Chicago and New
York are the two wiokedest cities in
tne world. They are swamped in vice
and pleasure, and tho churches are
powerless to stem the tide of sin.
they are growing worse and worse.
Neither Chicago nor New York has
any hypoeritical pretensions of being
good" he said. "They tolerate vice
without blushiug. The Sabbath they
desecrate and little more than one
tenth OF the people attend the church
es. A great wave of an engulfng
ocean of pleasure, recreation, ease and
ldleness is drowning out the good and
dampening the consciences of men and
women. In the fulness of wealth they
are forgetting the dangers that beset
their homes, their children and them
selves.
Vice stalks through the streets.
In both New York and Chicago its
fragrance is unchecked. The young
men and young women Of the higher
order OF society are growing up in lux
ury and idleness.

Elliott Dauforth. politician, lawyer
and society man, tells good story on
himself. Mr. Danforth, who has long
been in the public eye, has q summer
home at Bainbridge, Cheuango county,
where he is very popular. Recently
there was Sunday School festival
and Mr. Danforth was prevailed upon
to accept the post of grand marshal.
He attired himself in Blue, borrowed
Q chapeau, scarlet sash and spurs, and
engaged the most spirited horse in the
village.
More than 1000 children were in
the parade, and Mr.. Danforth, prouder
than Lucifer, rode at the head, bowing
and smiling to hundreds. AS the
grove was neared the musical director
ordered the children to sing "Hold
the Fort" Mr. D.neorth enjoyed it
at the outset, but when the second
verse began he blanched. The lines in
that are:
"Seo the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on.''
"Stop!" shouted Danforth, and,
calling an aide, he said:
'Take my place; I'll go down the
line to see what's doing"

Got Left.

Lynchburg, Va, special to Rich
pond Dispatch: A travelling man from
Lynchburg was recently on Southern
train going to Charlotte, N. G. Near
him was seated a lady with several
packages and o small baby. The lady
was young and pretty, and as she had
to get of at small station this side
Of Charlotte, the gentleman from the
Hill City politely offered his services
in assisting her to get off. Picking
up the packages, she requested him to
follow with the baby, which, having
committed himself, he had to do.
Slowly he descended the car steps
with his precious burden and care
fully adjusted its coverings so that
no rude BLAST should chill its inno-
cent face. The lady meanwhile had
been met by friends and was so busy
exchanging greetings that she seemed
to have forgotten all about the baby
and it's new protector until just as the
train pulled out she relieved him of
his bundle of humanity. Then it
was too late; the train had gone, and
ao & result the Lynchburg travelling
man has avowed to be more careful as
to making new acquaintances on the
train hereafter.
