H DREAM.

! had a dream, which was not all a
dream:
For reasons which it were unkind to
state,
(Which yet a man Of medium mind
may guess,)
The rural press had vanished; and
the sage
And reverend souls who sought to
live thereby
Thereby were FASTENED hence, and
walked in white
In heaven-broad meadow lands where
blow and bloom
Immortal amaranth and asphodel.
Full sad it was to see this stagnant
world
All fallen dim and dull and colorless;
A l~istless world, so weary, flat and
stale,
Where mental pabulum was thin
and scarce
A lorn, news-hungry world where
men did go
And eagerly peruse the burial stones.

1t now appears that Lefty Loiue'
and "Gyp the Blood" had been walk
ing about the streets of New York,
without any attempt to conceal
themselves, ever since the murder OF
Rosenthal. Is this a joke on the po-
lice force, or is it something too ser
ious for joking? At least, it is clear
that the police force is a joke.

It is easy to understand how a
little matter of two and a half mil

memory of a banker who perhaps
thinks in terms of billions. There

to be sarcastic at the expense OF

the federals who licked OroZco at
Ojinaga, but mescal-or some other
intense form Of alcoholic drink. His
