A Strange Dream Was This the


Murderer


Letter in the Richmond Qnd.) Telegram,


November 10.


At the request of a gentleman of this
city have put in writing the principal
circumstances OF a dream that happened
some time ago. About the hour Of 2
o clock in the morning, the gentleman
was suddenly frightened out of his sleep
by the apparition of man springing
with desperate force through the window
at the foot of his be2. he must have as
cended by means OF the low kitchen roof
to the chamber, carrying the lower sash
with him. AS he bounded on his feet
into the room he uttered cry of des-
pair, which disclosed him With his mouth
partly open, from which perhaps all the
upper teeth we're missing His head
was quite large and strong the forehead
rather low and broad, and the eyebrows
were heavy. The impression at once
flashed upon the dreaming man that the
violent intruder was the assassin of Ma.
than, wealthy Jew, who had been MUIR
dered for his gold in New York city
some years ago.


Imagine the very great surprise of the
narrator of the dream when, about a fort
night afterward, there unexpectedly
walked into his Office the identical per-
son whose presence had occasioned him
some very unpleasant thoughts a few
nights before. The stranger asked for
some employment for day or two, which
was given him. He is described as a
man of apparently great strength, and
1.-THE as a leopard. His step was elastic
and his movements were rapid. He was
of easy, fluent address, evidently cool,
self-possessed, and full of pluck, and was
respectfully dressed in a suit of black
cloth and black slouch hat. He had
not long been at work when he asked if
the gentleman used tobacco, and it was
then, and not till then, that the manner
of asking for it disclosed that, perhaps,
all of his teeth we're missing from his
upper jaw. His Identification was then
complete, and nothing more remained to
be done except TO ask him some seem
ingly unimportant questions, the first OF
which startled him just the least bit.


Were you ever in New York; be

"Yes," came the response.

Reader, did you ever stop to think about
the words you utter from day TO day Did
the thought ever occur 10 you that those
same words might be remembered by some
person, and be uttered or written again and
again, perchance long after you were dead,
and that they would be remembered and
spoken Of as yoT ,eords Aud yet such is
often the case, although it is hard to realize
that what leaves our lips so lightly, so care
lessly, will ever be remembered so long. Let
me give an illustration A little over cen
tury since, Just at the commencement of the
struggle which ended in the Independence
of our country, British officer uttered some
hasty words of command 10 his troops.
They went forth upon the air of that pleas
ant April morning, and no doubt he may
have thought that they died with the echo
Of them but was it so? All, no they were
caught up by listening ears, and were re-
membered and a century afterward busy
fingers set those same words up in type, and
they were scattered broadcast throughout
the land. Less than two months after they
were spoken, Major Pitcairn, who uttered
them, was in his grave; but to-day those
hasty, profane words of his, help us 10 form
our idea of the man who spoke them.


Let us, then, be ever careful what we say,
and never forget that our words 60 forth
from us oftentimes TO live and be renem-
bered long, long after they are spoken and
that they never lose their influence, and can

There is immense wisdom In the old pro-
verb, He that is slow TO anger is better

him hate somebody" To punish ourselves
for others faults is superlatiye folly. The
arrow shot from another's bow is practically
harmless until our Thought barbs it, II Is
our pride that makes auother's criticism ran
kle, our sclf-will that makes auoiher's deed
offensive, our egotism that is hurt hy anoth-
cr's self-assertion. Wen may we be offended
at faults Of our own, but we can hardly af-
ford TO be miserable for the faults of others.
\ courtier told Constantine that the mob
had broken the head off his statue with

member that the world is wide; that here
are thousand million Of different human
wills, opinions, ambitions, tastes, and loves
that each person has different history, con
stitution, culture, and character from all
the rest that human life is the work the
play, the ceaseless action and reaction upon
each other of these different living atoms
We should go forth into life with the
smallest expectations, but with the largest
patience; with n keen relish for, and appre-
citation Of everything beautiful, great, and
good, but with temper so genial that the
friction OF the world cannot wear upon our
seusibilitics and equanimity so settled that
no passing breath nor accidental disturbance
shall agitate or mtile it, and with q charity

"Not for Jonathan"


l do not know that ours is a

And of late his back bone has stiff
ened up so that he can sit on

lurching forward on his nose.
This tumbling over was a great
grief to him, and I thought of
loading him heavily below the
waist like the toy boys you buy

gain an upright position without
trouble to himself or others. If
his nose is a little fat DOW, it is
because of these repeated tumbles,

to have a fine Roman beak like
his mothers. And one thingis cer-

the resemblance so often traced
between Jonathan Edwards and

Mr.. Shafer has pronounced on the scene of
his offence manly and straightforward apol-
ogy for the improper expressions he used in
reference to Judge Davis. All must rejoice
at this who perceive the Importance of the
retention of u proper tone in the public SER
vice. 1t is one of the vices of democracy
that it is unduly jealous of every superior
ity and every dignity, and that it tends to
the too liberal assertion not merely that one
man is as good as another, but also that one
man is as bad as another-the declaration of
n wide equality of all with the worst Out
of this comes that ready freedom of defama-
tion in the operation Of which no name is
spared and no allegation of bad motives is
withheld. With the uninstructed many this
is natural; with licentious press it is a pol
icy; but if lawyers are to fall into the habit
of thus yilifying tho very judges before
whom they plead their cases. what is to re-
suit but further encouragement of the peo-
pie in the pursuit Of this bad tendency? In
some countries these cases arc dealt with
very vigorously, and the dignity of
courts is maintained by the punishment of
uncalled for expressions derogatory to their
characters; but this is a point of great
difficulty with as, because of the
assumption that public opinion is final
tribunal before which judges and all must
come, and the further assumption that the
utterance Of any mans spleen is public opin-
ion. Mr.. Shafer has done good thing,
therefore, in his apology. lie acted certainly
on a precedent established by the Judge
of whom he spoke, who could not Justly
complain Of what was said because he has
shown Aagrantly his opinion that judges are
not to hold themselves superior to criticism.
But, despite the precedent, tho course is
bad one, and it is in all respects praiseworthy
that the offender has seen and boldly rec
ognized this fact.

SPIGoTs AND BUvoHoLEs IN THE CusroM
HoUsE.-It is evident that some public
money dribbles away at the Custom House
spigots. One Of the spigots not tight has
evidently been tho collection of revenue on
passengers. baggage at this port. There Is
some reason to believe that the Treasury has
sometimes lost by that loose tap the startling
sum of eleven thousand dollars in a single
month. This loss is not authenticated. and
we trust that further investigation may re-
duce the amount and thus relieve the natu-
raj anxiety of foreign holders Of government
bonds 1t appears that in September Of this
year the government collected, by more
vigilant scrutiny Of peoples baggage, the
sum of twenty-seven thousand dollars where
last year it only collected sixteen thousand
dollars. Perhaps there were more passen-
gers and they brought more baggage this
year, but perhaps this was legitimate
result of the brilliant policy Of impertinence.
In the meantime we notice that while the
whole Treasury Department has concen-
trated its efforts to prevent the drbble at
this spigot, the proper persons seem to have
forgottenthe bunghole, and tho estimate Of
goods smuggled by official conniyance with
one smug0ler is four million dollars.
