('•■ strolling Dreams. A Frenchman has recently made some curious experiments upon himself, and as a remit has announced to tbe world that it is possible to control dresmx and 3>ake them either pleasant or otherwise. His method is to stimulate the brain through the agency of heat, and to place the body in certain posi tions. He finds that by bandaging his head with a layer of wadding his dreams always become sans and intelligent. As regards the position of the body, tbe results, so far as the nature of the dreams sre varied. When he lay upon his back he experienced luxurious and sensorial dreams. To sleep on the right side brought bint dreams which were absurd and full of exaggeration, and which brought old matters vividly back to his miud. While lying on bis left Bide the exaggerated character of the vision* disappeared. Tbey became sensible and intelligent, and recalled mote reoont experiences. The phenomenon of speeeh in slumber was also more apt to be noted while the bodj lay in this posture. A sad picture of life in Ireland is is drawn by a correspondent of the Springfield Republican. He declares that no one can conceive how wretchedly poor and destitute human beings can be and live until he has ridden by cabins and cribs and all the nameless shifts for shelter that offend the eye between Glengariff and Killarncy. Not on: de cent home, no comfortable tidy dwelling, not one cleanly, wall fed neat human being did he see. Troops of sad, wan starved children nearly naked, smeared to tbe eyes with dirt and ashes, followed him mile after mile plaintively wailing : 'A penny if ye plate, sur.' Men and women with the dull dead expression of despair in their eyes waded out to gnze upon him from their cabins and holes in the ground or between the rocks, literally ankle deep in mud, and clad in such tattered tatters that Lazarus was attired in princely robes in com parison. Deer stood in the fields and birds sat upon tbe trees fearless of man, for no Irishman is permitted to have a gun or to touch bird or beast, even though his fumily starve before his eyes. In the whole long rldo of fifty four miles he never saw a and he exclaims. 'Think of a people too poor to keep a dog t' A St. Louis preacher, never having tasted whisky, bought balf a gallon ef it, to study its effects, in order the hotter to describe them in the tem perance sermon ha was preparing.— To avoid publicity and accidents, he locked himself in his study and threw the key out of the window. In less than an hour he was singing and dancing instead of writing. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon he climbed out of his window and slid down the lightning-rod, fell into a swill barrel, kissed a woman in the street, got licked by two men at different times, broke a window, stole a dog, sassed a policeman, and got run in. The Judge socked it to him most awfully-30 days-but bis church forgave him and took him back on his solemnly - promising that he would hereafter . discuss tbe temperance question from * a purely theoretical standpoint.— [ Hawkeye. f A nan cannot marry too early after ' he become a marriageable man. ltut let - us understand what marriageableness means. It means a good deal moio than being twenty-one years old. It means fixed habits, a promising buinesa as a support for a family, a very clear head and a very long heart towards the j woman of your choice. For all this, for the latter especially, time is needed to k be certain that no blunder is likely to occur. If you will alow it tirno and opportunity, love is tbe most trustworthy of earthly sentiments— indeed, well nigh 2 infallible. But the "first sight" business fc is exceedingly risky and in many cases * "first sight" is mirage.-Richmond r- Advocate. m * A woman in Rome, Georgia, the d Courier of that town says, has made from the juioe of one water-melon a pint of thick, golden syrup. Georgia papers are agreed thero is a fortune for tbe I, man ar the woman who suoceeds in making sugar from melons. The making of syrup from water melons is nothing new in the South. It was done extensively in Eastern Virginia during the war and pronounced superior :o to the sorghum. K There has been a corner en codfish in IT Boston, supposed to be eaused by the absence of so msny members of »ooi*ty 8 for the summer. r«r Politicians Only. A noinber of politicians, all of whom were seeking office under the Govern ment were on a certain day not long ago seated on the tavern porch, when a toj er named Joel B—a person who was loqua cious when corned, but exactly opposite when sober, said that he would tell them a story. They told him to "fire sway," where upon ha spoke as follows : "A certain king, I don't recollect name, had a philosopher upon whose judgement be always depended. Now it happened one day that the king took H into his head to go hunting, and sum moned nis noblo.t, aud making the neces sary preparations, he summonod the philosopher and asked him if it would rain- The philosopher told him it would not, and they started. Whilo journey ing tbey met a countryman mounted JO a jackass. He advised them to return for said be it will certainly rain. They smiled contemptuously on him and went on. Before they hud gone many miles they had reasou to regret not having taken the rustic's advice, as a shower coming up drenched them to the skin. When thoy returncned to ibe place the king scolded the philosopher severely. "I met a countryman," he said "and he knows more than you do. He told me it would rain whereas you told me it would not." The king then gave biui his walking papers and sentfor the countryman who soou made his appearance. "Tell me," said the king, "how you knew it would rain "I didn't know," said the country man, "my jackass told me so." "And how, pray, did he tell you?' ask ed the king : "By pricking up his cars, your maj esty," said the rustic. The king then sent the rustic away, and procuring the jackass of him, he placed him, the jackass, in the office the philosopher filled. "And here," observed Joel, looking wise, "is where tbe king made a great mistake." "Why so ?" inquired the audit ors. "Why CTcr since that time, said J ou,' with a grin on his phiz, "every jackas* in the country wants an office."—Clarks vil/e Advance. Embarrassing Incidents ofa Sleeping: Car. Let me deacribe some of tbe experi ences of a Pullman's palace-car. If the cars are full it is embarrassing to a shy man. What must it be to tho fairer sex ? I bad noticed that American couples are rather demonstrative in their eudoarmenti both on the "car" and i steamboats, bnt this beats all. In tho , 'sootioos' of a railroad ear, as in the wooden heuso, even whispered remarks are very adible especially at night when > everything is still. For example one evening when we had retired, a low voice : was suddenly bcardTrom tho cdntrc of the car : "Fanny, Faany, give me a kiss, and ' say you forgive me." Then a little louder : "Fanny, Fanny, I oan't sleep nnless you forgive me. Give me a kiss and , say you forgive me.' At last the voioe of the penitent hus band, regardless of the littering from tbe surrounding partitions, spoke again : "Fanny, Fanny, just one kiss and say you forgive me.' At lasts peppery old Indian offioer, nown at the end of the ear, popped his bead out and shouted : "Oh, Fanny, for goodness sake ! do give him a kiss and let us get some sleep.' Even then, amidst tho ontburst of laughter frem the the other passengers, yon could hear the poor man catobing a ourtain lecture. "There! 1 told you so! Now yon see what you have done! I knew every one could bear you." But at last peace reigded, and possi bly Fanns gave him tee narcotio kiss of reconciliation. Austin Sheldon, the hermit of Pike County, Pa., desires to marry. He has prposed to several girls in bi* neighbor hood, but they have declined possible be cause he declares he will net qnit the eave in which he has lived for forty years. This abode it twelve by fourteen feel, with a gravel floor. The furniture oonsisU of four blooksof wood for chairs, a dry goods box uted at a ttble, a fire placo over which he doet hit cooking, and an old rickety cbair in which he f sleeps. He hat not slept in a bed for yesrs. A Peripatetic Mourning. "Have you got time to do a little figuring for me 1" asked a seedy man ( learning over the book-keeper's desk. "Just a little figuring)" What is it?" demanded the book keeper impatiently. "Put down 22,673," replied tho seedy man humbly. "Go on," aaid tbe book-keeper. "Got^it down already! You are quick af* figures. Now put down 7,921." "Go ahead." Now make another column: Put down 624." "Come! hurry up!" "And 2,463. Put that under the 624." "Well, what next." "Commence another column with 1,- M3O. and add the whole business up." "How's that ?" demanded the book keeper. "Add up tbe separata col umns and then add them togothcr V' "Add 'em all at once, if you'd rath er," replied the tramp with humility. "How much does it make ?" "It makes 34,817," replied tho book keeper. "Could you walk that number of miles?" asked the socdy man. "I shouldn't like to try," rejoined tbe book-keeper. "Ifyou taw a man who had got that far to walk before he could plant a stem on the grave of his poor old mother, wouldn't you lend him a quarter until he got back ?" Tbe stony heart of the book-keeper wat not proof against this appeal, and the mouruer went away happy. Natural History. This is the lark. Take a good look at the picture, so that you may recog nize the original when you walk out. "Is the lark an early bird ?" "Very early. Ho it always out of bed by the timo the first saloon is opeu." "What are his chief virtues ?" "He hasn't any." "Doesn't he sing?" "He docs. He sings his best about midnight, and be has been known to walk up policemen sleeping in a stair say feur blocks distant." "Is he easily domesticated ?" "Oh! yes. He will sometimes per mit himself to be carried half a mile on a wheelbarrow, and it is very rare that he evinces any timidity in the presence of a large Central Station crowd." "What is his chief value? His right to vote and his readiness to sell it to the highest bidder." "Wouldn't it bo a sin to kill a lark ?" "It would be agaist the law. There is no need to kill him, how-ever. His life it short snd full of cold snd hunger, and rags and insults and bard knocks, and nobody remembers where he is bu ried or cares what becomos of his bones." Ex. Writing with Lemon Juice. Father John Gerard, of the Society of Jesus, who was confined and oruelly tortured in tho Tower of London at tbe end of Queen Elisabeth's reign, was in tbe habit of writing letters in orange or lemon juioe to bis friends. The msn ner in whioh he thus baffled the vigi lance of his jailors is tbut described in dotail in his highly-interesting biogra phy, published a few yoars ago by the I Rev. John Morris. Father Gerard says : "Now, lemon juice has this property, that what is written in it can b* read in water quite as well as by fire, and when the paper is dried the writing disap -1 pears till it is steeped afresh, or again , held to the fire. But anything written with orange juice is at once washed out by water, and oannot be read at all that ' way; and if held to tbe fire, though tbe oharaotert are thus made to appear, 1 they will not disappear, so that a letter ' of this tort, onoe read, oan never be delivered to any one at if it had not . been read. Tho party will at one* seo that it has been read, and will certainly refuse and disown it it it should oon tain anytheng dangerous." One result of Father Gerard's orange juice correspondence was that, with tbe aid of sealous friends outside, ho effect ed his etoape from the Tower in 1597. A nurse was telling about a man who had become so terribly worn out by dissipation that be could not keep any food on his stomach, when one of her listeners asked, "what does he live on, then?" "On his relations, ma'am," answered the nurse NO. 15 Democratic Platform. We congratulate the people of North Carolina on the era of peace, prosperity and good government which has been unbroken since the incoming of a Dem ocratic State administration ; upon tbe pure and impartial administration of jus tice aud the honest enforcement of tbe laws : upon the efficiency of our common tchool tystem and great advance mado in education, and the general improve ment and enterprise manifested in every part of the State, and wo pledge our selves to exert all efforts to advance the material interests of all seotions of the State in the future at we have done in the as \t>* we challenge a comparison between a Democratic administration of our State affairs and the crimes, out rages and tcandal* that accompanied Republioan misrule. Affirming our ad herence to Douiocratio } rinciples as de fined in the platform adopted by the National Democratic Convention, held at Cincinnati HI 1880 : Resolved, That we regard a fiee and fair expression of the public will at the ballot-box as the only sure means of pre serving our free American institutions, and we denounce tbe Republican party aud tbe interference of its federal officials for their gross frauds upon the elective franchise, whereby whole districts, States aud the Union have been deprived of their just political rights ; and we be lieve the corrupt aud corrupting use of federal patronage, and of public money drawn by taxatiou from the people, in influencing and controhng elections, to be dangerous to the liberties of tho State aud the Union. Resolved, That we aro in favor of tbo entire and immediate abolition of the in tcrnal revenue system, with its attend ant corruptions, and that we dcuounce tbe present tariff laws as grossly unequal, unjust and vicious. IVe favor such a revision of the tariff as will produce a revenue sufficieuce for the economical support of the government, with such incidental protection as will givo to do mestic manufactures a fair competition with those of foreign production. That there should bo an immediate repeal of all laws imposing a direct tax for the support of tbe government of the Unit ed States, but if it should prove imprac ticable to abolish the internal revenue system with all its attending demoraliz ation, fraud and corruption, then we urge upon our Senators and Represen tatives in Congress the importance of so amending the law that the rovenuo offi cers who now receive in salaries in North Carolina alone more than $500,000 shall be elected by tbe people of the localities to which they are assigned. Resolved, That tho course of tho Dom ocratio party since its accession to pow er in North Carolina iu furtherance of popular education it a sufficient guaran ty that we earnestly favor the education of all classes of our people, and that we will advocate any legislation looking to an increase of the fuud for that purpose that will not materially increaso the present burdens of our people. Resolved, That the question of pro hibition is not now, aud nevor has been, a party question in North Caroliua, and nevor been endorsed by tho Democratic party, and tlie people ef the State at the general election, in the year 1881, having by au overwhelming majority vot ed against prohibition, aud tlie Surpremo Court having decided thnt the prohibi tion act it not aud never has been a law, we regard the matter as finally scttlod, and any attempt to renew tho agitation is merely a weak effort of designing per sons to divert the minds of tho people from the dungcruus principles and cor rupt practices of the Republican par- Resolved, That while we are not wed ded to any particular form of county governmeut, we recognize the fact that a large part of the taxes of the Stat* are paid for the common benefit by the whit* people of our eastern oounties, and that we consider it the bonuden duty of tbe white men of tho State to protect these people from the oppressive domin ation of ignorant blacks, and pledge ourselves to inch legislation at will so cure this end. And whereas it is soriously suggested that a vigorous effort will soon be made to compel the State, by judioial proceed ings, to pay the fraudalent and unlawful special tax bonds, amounting to $22,- 000,000, issued under legislation passed by the Republioan Legitlature in 1868 and 1867 ; therefore, Resolved, further, That the Democrat ic party will retist such recovery and the payment of tuch bondt fey every lawful meant. SMALL BITES. The New York Star is betting that the Brooklyn Bridge will be finished in the year 1900. Woolsey'a Egyptian motte is "Nile desperandum," which means 1 will win glory or bast." Eighty men with bayonet wounds are lying in the Dublin Hospitals, vic tims of the late riots. The path to glory in Egypt mnst be in a condition good enough for mules and wagon trains to pass over. According to Lamaratino "The most effective coquetry is ignorancebut the professional coquette never has it. Tbero is a bonanza for illustrated journals in the Cincinnati Exposition. The management offers to furnish eleo troype cuts of the Exposition free. Tng Wilson has gone to England to bring his wife and three children to this country. He is a sweet faced husband and a tender father, thougha, tough man. The United States Hotel at Saratoga employs 200 waiters in the dining room. That's the reason guests have to wait twenty minutes to have an order filled. The Buddhist believes tl e o is no heaven for woman.

Down below Montgomery I camo across s man from Port Huron Michigan and after we had shaken hands he said : "Seen any rebels down here!" "Why, yes. That is I'vo seen hun dreds who were in the Confedorato army." "But have you come across one who hasn't surrendered yet—a resl old nn terrified who wasn't lickod and still hates the flag V "No.' "Well, 1 wish I oould seo one. I've been down hero two weeks and I haven't come across him. I thought tho South was chuck full of such chaps, and 1 dot ed on an interview.' I went up to the hotel and told the boys, and they sent over to the oooper shop for Sam. He was not in ths war at|all, having lately moved from Texas, but be was the most robbish' looking man south of the Ohio river. He had long hair, matted whiskers, a long, sharp nose, eyes like a wolf, long arms, rag ged cloths, and he looked to be a tough oase. The boys told him what was wanted, and he walked down tba street to a barber shfip where the Port Huron man was waiting to get shaved. Stand ing in the middle of tho shop he threw his old hat down, jumpe 1 three fe t h gh and cracked his heels and yelled out : "Wboop—yah! War's that Yank who's boen hanging around this town l for the last throe days *—yi! i yi! durn Unele Sam for an old buz i xard! 1 fit with Wheeler, I did, and I never surrendered! There aint Yanks enough in North Amerios to i walk me off—wboop !" The man from Port Huron had finally i got what he was looking for. He rose up, and was edging for the door, when Sam jumpod for him and yelled ; 1 "Whoop-te! You're tbe cantaukeioua i invader I'm after! Come down hero . and burn our gins will ye! Come and slsy I our—!" Alas! the Miobigander was on ths I full skip by this time. He took the I road for tbe country, turning out for nothing smaller tnan a four rnulo team. .
