replied a still dirtier man than tbe real estate
doctor. I examined the figure of tbe Janitor of
New York. Um name was Horace ureeiey.
He stood at tbe entrance of the State like the
angel at the' door of paradise, and in bis right
band be waved a 'newspaper twitted iDto the
fiinn of a bludeeon. But he bore no other re
semblance to the angel aforesaid his voice being
nore like that of tbe serpent, lor at every mvi
ment be would open his mouth, and biss at me,
just in this manner, "Ism 1 ism ! ism !"
He was constantly invoking "water ;" indeed
beseemed as fond of has the rich man in hell.
But I presume from Mr. Greeley's appearance
he wanted it for a different purpose.
"Who are you?" said he. 'Ism! ism!"'
,' "1 am the spirit" I was commencing.
MA vaunt," he roared, "away ; ism t icia :
There are no spirits allowed in this Stab dow.
Im t ism ! ism 1 Begone ! ism 1"
I would have explained to him that I did not
come under the prohibition of the iiquvr law,
but he was so angry that ho would listen to
-4 nothing, bat drew from bis pocket a largv biow
pipe, and commenced peppering tue with a
quantity of nasty articles, which it apfiears be
keeps prepared in his mouth to bespatter bis
opponents. I wae obliged to retreat from the
presence of this tribune of tho people.
I was fccarccly out of emell of this person,
when I found myself once icort assaulted by
tbe mediums, ibey came from all the SuteB
in the Union. Voiced came cut of Pennsylva
nia and Texas commands from Connecticut, en
treaties from Alabama. I was bewildered torn
hither, dragged thither.
Good heavens 1" I exclaimed, and tbey call
the grave a place of rest. I have not had a mo
ment's peace since I have been dead.
At last I grew desperate, and I allowed these
coatendiog powers to act upon me from different
directions, until by opposing each other they
actually established my equilibri u m, and brought
xaa to a centre of their antagonistic system.
This spot happened to be the city of New Or
leans, and thus yoo perceive bow I have come
to seek a refuge in this hospitable city. It is
the more dear to me ss it reminds me of my
own St. Petersburg. Tbey are both built in
a swamp.
Oa my arrival here I sought the shelter of a
newspaper office. Tbe journal I selected was
congenial to my spirit, being particularly fond
of having it own way in every thing, fight or
wronr. 1 touna tne eaitor to oe an extremely
intelligent man, so, after introducing myself.

By offer with a peculiar smile of self satisfac
tion,' and proceeded to balance himself on the
two bind legs of his editorial chair, while be
regarded me askance over his tooth pick.
My dear sir," said he, " I know all yoo have
done, and published it in my journal long be
fore yob did it."
- But, sir," I expostulated, " I can tell yoo
what I was going to do, if 1 bad lived."
Sir," he replied, " I had all that in my pa
per last week."
And pray, sir," I asked, "how do you
manage to obtain intelligence of things before
tbey have happened ?"
By means," raid he, "of the telegraphic
powers of the American Associated Press."
I told him that I was quite ignorant of this
. extraordinary machine, and I begged bim to
explain it. He did so with tbe greatest kind
. oesa, and I followed his demonstration with in
tense interest as he proceeded.
Yoa are aware," he began, " that tbe earth
revolves from west to east; consequently it ix

Very good. If, therefore, you issue an ukase

seven bours in advance of your lstuc. 1 mere

institution, we can easily complicate this sim-

hope shortly to put all Europe a year behind
tbe States. Because once we establish tbe pos
sibility of American enterprise outrunning
your slow European action, there is no calcula

' said I. "I am lost in admiration."

Tilictd world must come ; ior no niwu s

Denmark. The child Russia most be Dorn. 1
came to the throne and I felt the land in labor.
I looked around and I perceifed the Caucasus,
one little outlet into Asia Minor. 1 thought
that if I could obtain Asia Minor, and perhaps
Stria, by purchase or persuasion tmm luraey,
I would out only gain a Mediterranean seaboard,
but also I could make Jerusalem a Russian city.
Mt neonle am ardent Cbristains, and the pos
session of Jerusalem, which is utterly worthless
to all the rest of tbe world, would be priceless
to me. I failed to subdue the Circae sians who
held the Caucasian range. I devoted to deain
the flower of my troops, but I could never pierce
an exit into Asia iui-oujiu wjou in.u mw.
Still the child grew, and at length .he moment

pressure from within. I was compelled to head
the movement, and conduct an outbieak I could
not repress. I addressed tbe reigning powers
of Europe. I showed them that Russia must
possess a seacoast, ana it was uDnnnrei i"
pigmies like Denmark and Turkey should hold
tbe northern giant in those handcuff's called the
Dardanelles and the Categat. Nay, in the sa
cred interest of poace. I would have exchanged
some portion of my beloved Russia for the rug
ged coast of Norway and now useleso.infructious
ports of Turkey and Greece. But all overtures
were refused, and the fingers of England and
France sternly pointed to the treaty of Vienna, by
which we agreed forty years ago to preserve
tbe present outlines of the map of Europe.
Heaven preserve us from infringing Kuefian
honor as pledged in a treaty, but u there a
conclave superior to that of Vienna. Do Gjd,
providence and nature constantly look b.ick to
that document, and so govern men and tilings
that the course of the world shall n.t interfere
with tbe pledged word of those king our fa
thers. Shall some nations dwindle into their
grave", and shall their bodies, diplomatically
preserved, inhabit the racied limits "f their j
lands, while a neighboring people, bursting
with vigor and grow th, urged on by nature,

I knu'.r not whether tbe Arniies of R;isiia ,

But tbe great hour ia at hand. The astute

A SINGULAR DREAM.
Most Remarkable Realization. A young
mariied lady tbe witeof a Main & reef merchant,
residing on Race street, in tbe viciuity of Third,
had a most singular dream on the night of Wed
neoday, December 6, which has since been reali
sed in a remarkable manner. Thcaanie of tho
lady we withhold at her own request. On tbe
night spoken of, she rtired to ner Od in a pleas
ant frame, not, however, particularly elated.
The first of the night he was visited by a drep
sleep, which, as the dawn appeared, gav? May
to slumber of a more broken character. Sud
denly she dreamed : and dreaming saw her
14 brother the same that two years ao 1-ft his 1
orphan home to brave the hardships of Califor
nia lifet-that he miht seoure to himself and sis- i
ter a. competence. She saw him rise from a
bed in a small hut-like tenement, and running
I his hand under the pillow drew from thence a
revolver and a hue bowie knife, both of which
he placed in a hell that he wore around his body.
It seemed that it whs not far from midnight, fir
tbe embers were yet rmoking on the rude '
hearth, and as they cast their lurid glare over
his countenance, she thought that perhaps it
was all a drenm ; but then she concluded that
no dream could be real, acd became coninccd '
that all was actual.
N hita she gzed upon bis countenance, the I
expression suddenly changed ; it betrayed aa j
intense watchfulnefri ; tvery pu!- oeemed sus !
pended, and every heart-throb muffled, while !
the eya stood fixed on a particular oot near the I
head of the bed, where, throueh a small aper- '
ture not noticed belure, was a human hand,
grapping a short, keen intttrunimt, luuking ter
ribly like a dagger. It apparently sought the
head of tbe bed ; for an it touched the pillow it
parsed itself slowly duwn to about the ppos- '
ed region of the heart, and poised itself for a 1
second, as if to make furs its game. That e- j
cond was bufficient for the brother to rise noie- ;
lely from his seat, ai;u d.aw iiis bowie knife :
from bis belt, and advance a single step towards
the bed. Just as the dagger descended into tbe ;
blankets, the knife of the brother came down 1
like a meat-ase close to the aperture, complete
ly severing the hand of the would be aic:tNsn
above the writ, and cauning the dagger and i
limb to fall on the bed, trophies of his M, ?ory. '
A deep, prolonged yell sounded from without, :
and, ou rushing to tbe aperture, and c invii eing
hicjslf that there was but one, the brotuer un-!
bolted the door and stepped out. The rii.ion
"was shining, fii.d by its light was discovered a .
man writhing as if in th! last agonies. The mi
ner drew tbe body n-ar the door, and turning
his face to the fire, beheld the vi--af of a Mex
ican, who, for borr.e fancied injury, had sworn ;
to never rest content uotil Lo L.'id taken his i
(tbe brother's) life. Ou examining tho man j
closely, be wsb discovered to have a wound in
the vicinity of the heart, which a long, sharp
two-edged blade in bis band abundantly accoun-1
ted for. Failing io the attempt to assassinate J
bis victim, ho had with his only remaining hand i
driven another knifo to his own heart. !
lbe lady awoke, and, vividly impressed with
the dream, related its substance, as hererecor
ded. to ber husband. Judge then of ber and
bisurprise, when they yesterday received a let
ter from California, per tbe North Star, from
tbe brother, relating an adventure, oa the night
of December 6, preciwely identical with that seen
by the lady in her dream.

There were maay broad acres within 'the en-,
closure around that unpretending dwelling, and
they were of good soil, and the hardy hnsbond
man reaped his reward from them, from. year
to year. " ' . ''"
The winter fire blared briskly on the ample
hearth, tbe moon ran high, and tha night air
was keen and brisk without, as the two aat side
by side talking over tbeir future plant, as it
was ever their wont to do. The wife drew near
er to her husband's chair, as tboufeh the bond
hatween them was growing stronger. Her
words were uttered in a lower tone, though
the night might bold mysterious strangers who
would catnh the suund of her vo:ce.- as she re
vealed to him the pent up thoughts which had
of late occupied her mimd, and grown uany to
be regarded more and more in tbe light of a
certainty that her fondest hopes would ere long
be realised. We have lived," she said, "and
striven together, and we have prospered, and
how happy shall we be when Providence has
griuited us a richer reward in one to grow up
an 1 share these blessincs with us I" Oh ! the
delight that was kindled upon that coyish wo-
ni ui's radiant face as she talked to nun Desiae
hrr. in whisner. of beini? a mother. True
wert thou a woman to tby nature; to thy hue
b i rid, and thy eouutry ; and for this tboa Wert
sbuve all Drice Driceless.
Seed-time and harvest oome and went for six
teen years, and the husbandman's storehouse
grew more and more corpulent with the products
of each season's labors, and be was forehanded.
The bumble tenement of unhewn logs had pas
sed awav, and on its site a more stately struc
ture had been erected.
The wife who bad helped to plan that house
bold, had also ceaed to be ; and in ber stead
there was one far more stately, more youthful,
and more beautiful, but more in all else unlike
themother. The bappinessof that husbandman
had also nassed awav. With do one now to
talk and to plan with him at eventide, be was
alone. He had a daughter, a full grown wo
man, it is true the one that he and the -wife
had built their hopes upon; but she wasa gay
and thoughtless girl, and could in no wise fill
tbH place of her who had left him upon life's
I jourrey alone.
A lew more years had passed away in the
: ci uise of time, and the bome that had been
t jilt up in the hopes and energy ol young lite
l ad parsed from his hands, and the father and
tb daughter were in this city. Tbe one
?;tdJer and more lonely still ; the other was gay
er and more tboughtletta than even before. . The
passion of avarice, which gruWwiUi age, seis
ed upon the one, in the absence of any stimulus
to a better feeling ; while tue excitement ol n''t
('rit gpoinpaudahow fed ihe impulse of tne ult
fleeting heart that knew little of the world aud

The father aud the daughter grew more and

La'hter bud beuome a wife.

of .he dav t hi houbehold and his wife. The I

breathing ol a bleeping babe ; but not jj the
hearts of that husband and wife, for they beat
coluly, and tbeir breathing broke upon their
iirs in bitter words.
In exrenuation, let it be s:iid. tbe wife wm
beautiful even in auger, and the flashing light
ning frutu her eye wa from a wiidness that was
all unnatural. Tha husband was the mildest of
tbe two. It is not strange that woman should
lo k forward with dread upon the days of ber
travail and th6 hour of her peril: but it is all
unnatural that she should make this the occa
sion to break the bond betwten bar and the bus
band.
The season had changed from summer to win
ter: and, late at night, the doctor sat alone all
i unconscious of what be has here written; for
( this tale was untold then. The sound of a gun
fell upon his ear, from which be knew that a
s enmer from sonic distant shore was coming up
the harbor. II is thoughts turned naturally up
on the joyous hearts of those upon that steamer
who were returning home. Little did ne think
that upon that good ship's bow there stood a
m n, pa-t middle life, returning laden with the
product ol the golden land, and in whose hart
was kindled alresb the joyous hope of soon
seeing again his only child : little did he think
that within one hour he would meet that man
niore sorrowful tban ever before.
"Doctor, come quickly !" I knew the voice,
fltid started upon the instant, drawing my over
coat on as I emerged into the street. The night
wsdark and cold, and the rumbling ombibuaes
were well niuh stilled, for the band of that
steady old moni,or of fleeting time upon th
Csty Hall was just turning the point between
t -day and to morrow. My companion was as
colli, aud cheerless, and silent, as the night.
No a word was spoken by either of us as wo
panned hastily along tbe street. There are
tini''s when words are out of place meaning
lefs, rmpty sounds ; then actions speak with a
terrible force, and silence sends a thrill through
the heart that has no language to give it utter
ance. I knew that something had occurred,
and could only conjecture that life was at stake ;
Lot who, or where, I did not know. 1 thought
cf those who encircled tbe hearthstone with him
who was urging me onward faster and ftster
and fater by rapid strides ; but of tbem I knew
none ill. 1 was about breaking this silence by
an enquiry as to the nature of the "case" upon
which I was called, in orOer to be "the better
prepared, when be mounted tbe steps, and
turning the night latch, we were immediately
within the dwelling that encompassed the mys
tery. Tarrying not to throw off an outer gar
ment, I followed his hasty footsteps up a flight
tT stairs, and as he put one band upon tlii door
knob, the other was raised as a token for si
l uce, and his eye for the first time was turned
directly upon mine. Not a whisper broke the
cnlluess of that moment, but his frame quiver
rd under the effect of some terrible emotion.
L oeening his hand from the door, be stepped
back, tind motioned me to precede him. I en
tered the apartment, and stepping to tbe bed
side looked upon the wife. She lay with ber
head upon the pillow, where it bad -often lain
before, but pale, and fair, and beautiful she
had turned the point betwetn time am! eternity.
The U 11 rang Ironi the street door, und its eound
was a relief in breaking tha stillness of that
death-bilence w hich no one ieemed inclined to
br ak by parting lips or moving tongue. Soon
tbe sound of hasty footsteps was heard upon
the staircase, ai d the door opened, and in a
moment more, the father and the husband stood
lookit.g upon her w bo had been a child to tbe
one, and a wife to tho other, but who, by her
own hand.

Bachelor's Par arise. If the following from
tbe Danville (Va.) Republican is true, Danville
most be a perfect elysium for old bachelors:
' The clerk of tbe Hustings Court informs us
that daring tbe year just ended not a single
marriage' license was issued trom his office.
This is a remarkable fact in a town whose po
pulation numbers about twenty fire hundred,
and results not from the fact that no courting
was dsne, but that the ladiee here ore uneom

Star, which ia the planet Saturn, a body more
than one thousand times' aa large as Venus or
the Earth, but diminutive in apparent siie, by
its immense distance, being over nine hundred
millions of miles from us, or more than ten times

; About 3 minucie after 8 o'clock, the eastern
port of the moon will become a little less bright,
in consequence of totering what Astronomers
call the jWMtlRors,' or a portion of space around
tbe try. shadow of the moon, from which a part
of the sun's ravi are intercepted by the earth.
Tbe moon will continue to-get dimmer, and
dimmer, but the eastern part the more so, till
6 minutes past 9, woen the eastern portion will
enter the true shadow of the earth. At 9 min
utes past 10, the moon will be wholly immers

totally eclipsed. The moon, however, although
it does not, at this time, receive auy direct rays
from tbe suo's rays being reflected by the earth's
atmosphere, so as to be converged on tbe moon s
surface, and redder tbe Moon of a dull, coppery

the penumbra, at 51 minutes past 1. As tbe
Moon is passing out of tbe penumbra, tbe Eaa
tern portion, which was tbe dimmer when en
tering, will be tbe brightest.
During this eclipse of the moon to us, tbe
Lunarians, (if there are any,) will witness a
most magnificent total eclipse of tbe Sun, in
consequence of the Earth being between the two
bodies. Tbe Sun will be obscured to them for
over an hour and a half. The phenomena on
suob an occas km roust surpass in grandeur, by
tar, anything we are ever permitted to witness
in tbi sublunary sphere
A person may obtain a good idea of tbe pen
umbra above referred to. by a little illustration
our solar eclipses. The moon, of necessity,
ince the Sun is constantly shining on it, is al
ways attended by a shadow, extending in a di
rection oppoeke to tbe Sun. Since the Moon is
ho much smaller than the Sun, this shadow will
be in the form of a cone, or become smaller and
uiallor the farther it is from the Moon, till it
iiet9 to a poiut,
If an eye could bo at the tip
j end of that shadow, the Moon and tbe Sun
wou.d appear to be exactly of tbe same sue, or
.he Sun would be totally .eclipsed. If the eye
were now moved nearer to the Sun, in a straight
line joining tbe centres of the Sun and Moon, the

Sun around the Moon being wider, as tbe eye

If the eye were removed from the point where
the sbadow terminated oj either side of tbe
Hue joining the centres of tbe Sun and Moon
then one part of tbe Sun's disc would be seen
while the remainder was obscured by the Moon
This is in the penumbra ; rays arrive there from
lart of tbe Sun, but not from its whole surface ;
ibere is then a partial shadow. As tbe eye
would be further removed from said line, more
and more of the Sun would be visible, till tbe

Now, although, in some parts of space, the
Son is, at all times, totally eclipsed, and par-
i tialiy eclipsed, and eclipsed m all magnitudes,

however, we are so favored, tbe Moon trailing
her shadow over oar Earth, and thus giving us
rui iidipse oi tne sun, varying in character, ac
cording to the position of tbe spectator in res

In August 1869, and May 1900, the centre of
the Aloon s shadow will pass over parts of Vir
ginia and North Carolinaaffbrding those who
may then be living, an opportunity of witness

nearly to the North Star. The twins, Castor
and Pollux, two bright stars, will be in the
Western part of tbe heavens, about midway,
between tbe Zenith and horiton. East of them,
and a little west of the meridian, will be seen
the bright Star Regulus, in the heart of Leo,

from the fact, that, in consequence of the pro

slow motion of only about 50 seconds of aro

" The true woman for whose ambition a bus

the discipline of her household, and whose leg
ielatics exercise themselves in making laws for

her in communion with ber husband, and whose
heart asks no other honor tban his love and ad
miration ; a woman who does not tbink it a
weakness to attend to her toilet and does not
disdain to be beautiful : who believes in tha
virtue of glowny bair and well fitting gowns, and
who eschews rents and ravelled edges, slip sloy

A GOOD JOKE AND T WO OF 'EM.
The mail carrier on a certain route refused
several timoor-a short while ago, to deliver the
mails At the post office on this routehe want
ed his pay out of certain moneys received at
the post office for a special purpose, and which
the deputy postmaster, -in thj absenoe of bis
senior, could not give. The carrier desired to
see his authority for acting as he did, and ap
peared ill disposed, to listen to reason. To
avenge himself, be refused to deliver the mail,
to the no small indignation of the journal sub
scribers, among others. But last week as he
passed along, the deputy handed bim odt a doc
ument beaded by the United States Eagle with
his pinions spread, and told bim there was bia
authority for the course he had taken, direot
from tbe department, lbe carrier opened tbe
document, pretended to read it, and handing
it hock, declared it all right, and forked over
theimail with commendable punctuality.
The document, however, was a commission
from Brig. Gen. Wm. R. Greathouse, appoint
ing said deputy to a lieutenantship io the mili
tia of tbe first district of Indiana.
Telling tb above to one of our citizens, he
said it reminded him of an affair that took
place in the .war of 1812. In Western New
York, a poor fellow from the country bad been
drafted to enter the militia and fight for hi
land and tbe green graves of bis sires, solely
contrary to bis natural inclinations. He went
to a neighboring town t? get legal advice, ho
ping in some manner to get rid of military ser
vice. A wag of a clerk in a lawyer's office told
him he thought he could fix up something that
would do, and forthwith drew op a singular
document, in which legal phrases, Latin,
Greek, etc.. were freely mingled, and a big seal
applied and banded it to bim to get out ut quar
ters, and when tbe names were being called,
to step forward and cry, hear ye, hear ye V
three times, then present tbe document to tbe
general, and all would be right. Tbe honest
fellow took it, and at tbe appointed day ap
peared on drill. The names were called over,
and General Bloom filled with military glory
paraded op and down before tbe line, like a
large turkey, while the names were being call
ed. Suddenly he was appalled by tbe appear
ance of a lean and lank individual atepoins
0rom the ranks, and saying, aa he held the
aocument over nis bead :
Hear ye 1 Hear ye ! 1 Hear ye III'
The man stepped up to the general and
bowed bim the document. The general open

croesway, surrounded by hi aids, and finally
handed it back to the man. savin. '--;. I

CAUTION We commenced the" manufacture of
the Improved Melodeon in 1847, since which time
wc have finished and seld over Fourteen Thousam'.
During the past three years,, we havefinished over
Three Thoutand Mdodecnt per ytar; we have nearly
completed our arrangements for, finishing Four
Thoutand annually. -The celebrity-which our Mel
odeons have attained has induced nearly every
music dealer in the United States aud Canada to
apply for the agency; but as we make but on
Agent iu each eity or town, many are necessarily
disappointed. The result has been that our Name
Plate has been put upon Melodeous which were not
manufactured by ut; aud again, (in a few instances
wchch have come to our knowledge) dealers, who
have been unable to obtain our instruments, have
iacepted the agency of some other manufacturer
keeping one of our instrument which had purposely
been put out of tune, and in bad order, as a foil to tha
inferior article they offered to the public. For
these reasons we caution these who wish to satisfy
themselves of the merits of our Melodeons to ex
amine those only which ore offered by our Agents
or those who deal exclusively in our instruments.
Man f improvements applied are exclusively our oxen
and being the original manufacturers, our' experi
ence has enabled us to produce instrument which
a discerning public : have pronounced superior to
anything of the kind'hitherto manufactured. Many
of the most eminent musicians of the cities of New
York and Boston have voluntarily given testimon
ials as to the high character of of our instruments,
which can be sees on application.
