Ileal Import ! Kxtrat-m from the Book. A Ixok Las just been published, writ ten by a ninlirypsy. in which the import of mat y dreuins art? told. For instance it says if inn- i.iv-et.an anjjel while usleep it will br.n-4 joyous tidings. If the anyel dot iippn:n;h yon it is a sign fhat your h:. L evil, and a warning to leftnni To (i:e.i:u of meeting the devil is also a ","d Mjfii. Su)er.stitiou3 jieople may lrea!ii of si-eiu this arch enemy of mankind. If so. it foretells that they will iri, away from home to be absent some time. It also shows that they will be fortunate in life. To a young girl it is a si"7i that she will either be well marri d and leave home, or leave for some other reason. According to the gypsy, to dream that you br.the in clear water is a sign that you will enjoy good health; if muddy, the death of relatives or frien&j. To see a bath, anger: to take a warm bath de notes happiness: if you take one either too hot or too cold, domestic tronbles. If you undress vithont going into the water yon may expect trouble, but it will soon puss away; a sea bath is a sign of honor and increase of fortune. Actresses bring joy or sorrow accord ing to the way they are seen. To see one play, misfortune: if you talk with her you will have success in what ym undertake: if you make love to her your life will be joyful. If yon dream that you enjoy her acting you will meet great troubles. To dream of garters signifies weak ness, no matter what kind they are or how seen. Laughter is a sign of tears. DUKAMS ABOUT HEAVEN. If any one dream that he or she is ascending to heaven, or is already enjoy ing its delights, it shows that some joy ful event is to happen, such as the birth of an heir to childless ieople, good for tune to those who are jioor, distinction to the wealthy and high honors to the ambitious. If lovers have such a dream it foretells an etflly marriage under the most auspicious circumstances, and that their wedding will lie attended with troops or congratulating friends, who will shower presents upon them. On the other hand, to dream of seeing hell denotes that the dreamer's life is a bad one, and an intimation to him of refor mation. To see. in your dream, one or more houses burning, but not wholly de stroyed, signifies, for the poor, that they will become rich; and for the rich man, that his riches will be augmented; but if the lire is furious, and the houses fall down, the dreamer may expect losses, disappointment, shame and death. To see a coffin in your dreams signi fies that yon will soon be married and own a house of your own. This is a dream girls are always wishing for. says the gypsy book. If any one should bo so unfortunate as to drer.m that he or she was present at a happy and jolly wedding, it denotes that they will attend a funeral; it will not necessarily be at the burial of either of the persons you dreamed you saw married, but you will undoubtedly be called to mourn some friend or relative. To go to weddings when one is wide awake is exceedingly pleasant, but we should be careful how we dream about them. To dream of being married j-our-self foretells your death. For a girl to dream of raking newly mown hay is a sign she will be married before the hay is eaten. Young fellows who dream of raking hay with their sweethearts had better get ready their necks for the matrimonial noose, as they are past praying for. To kiss the earth shows sorrow and care; to kiss the hands of a lady, good luck; if you kiss her face 30U will be successful in love and trade, through courage. To be kissed signifies disagree able visitors. To dream that you see a person hanged, or that you are hung yourself, denotes that you will rise to great honor, and that you will better your fortune by marriage. DUEAMS OF MANY KINDS. For a girl to dream that she was so sleepy in church as to nod toward the minister, is a sign she will have a young parson for her husband; if a j-oung man dreams this, he will be apt to make up to the minister's daughter, provided his position warrants it, and if not, that he will marry a girl noted for her piety. To dream of a widow, signifies a reward; to dream you are a widow, portends death or disappointment. To dream of a widower denotes strife and quarrels. To seem to be making excuses in your dreams, shows that you will tell lies. If you dream that your mouth is stopped by a gag, it denotes that you will soon thereafter be kissed by a pretty girt To a young girl such a dream predicts that she will see some gentleman who takes her fancy, and perhaps will fall in love with liim. A cat signifies treachery of friends and disappointment in affairs of love; if a cat appears to be lying down, or sleeping, you will but partially succeed in what you undertake; if the cat is fighting or appears to be in a rage, you will be robbed. F or a rich person to dream that he is charitable signifies loss of fortune; if a lady dreams it, she will bestow her af fections on an unworthy person. To fancy yourself young denotes that some unexpected news will reach jou. To dream of foing up a ladder foretells the possession of wealth. To win at gam bling means the loss of a friend; to lose, you will change your residence. Scissors signify quarrels between lovers, disputes of married couples and trouble in busi ness. Needles mean deceit and mischief. If a girl dreams of a rich man, she will marry a shiftless and needy fellow. Playing ball or seeing it played foretell the speedy receipt of money. New York Press.

JUDGE GEORGE f . BROOKS. LET A SPLENDID MONUMENT BE ERECTED TO HIS MEMORY. A Distinguished Heartily Eiidor: North Carolinian :es the Movement. LWilmington Messenger.

The Messenger is wholly unselfish in this. It has no axe to grind, no plan to work out, but aims solely to do its duty, and to manifest its grajitude and appreciation. This writer thrice al ready has sought to awaken a public interesj in the matter of erecting a monument to Judge George W.

He " bravely dared the dangers nature shrinks from," and possessing a grand " moral courage, which despises all opinions," he rose to a genuine greatness to which many aspire and but few obtain.

It is true the whole people are concerned, but the lawyers j ought to manage the matter and seei that it is built and at what place. We ! copy Col. Burgwyn's capital letter and ' hope it will prompt others to contri-1 bute and to action. He writes: " I am glad that you have taken up the matter ot erecting a monment to Judge George W. Brooks.

An Address by the Democratic State Executive Committee. Kaleich, June 16, 1890 At a meeting of the llemocratic State Executive ( oinnnttee, held 111 this citv on the 10th inst., it was resolved that the Democratic State Convention be held in the city of Raleigh on Wednesday, the 20th of August, 1H5K). It will devolve on this convention to nominate for vacancies filled by appoint ment of the Governor, a Chwt i ustice and one Associate Justice of the Supreme l ourt, ana Judges of the .Superior Court for the first, fourth, fifth, eighth and tenth districts, also Judges of the Superior Court for the second, six, seventh and eleventh districts to succeed the present incumbents, whose terms expire, aud to adopt a platform of principles and for such other business as may properly come before it. The convention is called to meet later than in 1888 to suit the convenience of the great imosses of the Democratic voters, so that a fuller representation, reflecting a more general sentiment, may be in sured, and it is very desirable that the delegates shall attend. The Democratic party congratulates the people of the State upon the material and moral advancement made under its beneficent administration of affairs, and having redeemed its pledges in the past, presents its claims to them for continu ance of that confidence to which it is justly entitled, fully assured that they w ill be recognized aud the interests of nil classes thus subserved. The term for which Hon. Zebulon li. Vance has been elected to the Senate of the United States will expire next March, and the legislature to be chosen this year will be called upon to fill it. It behooves ustoseetoitthat no Republican is elected to the Senate from this State. I he committee most earnestly request a thorough early organization 111 every township and county 111 the State, lt is ssential that this preliminary w ork shall be done at once, so that we may be ready for an active, energetic campaign as soon as the convention adjourns. It will not do to assume that our opponents, because they are inactive now, have no life. 1 hey can organize with alacrity, and stand ready to take advantage of any apparent lethargy on our part, and, if we wish to prevent opposition, we must demon strate, by our organization and strength, its futility. In 1882 over confidence and ipathy nearly resulted in the loss of the State, and again in 188G from the same cause, the control of the House of Repre sentatives of the State was lost to the Democrats, and given to our opponents. Such a result must be carefully guarded against this year. It is important that the various county conventions be called at such times as will best suit the masses of the party, to the end that a full and free choice of can didates for the offices may be had and no discontent engendered. The Republican party of to-day is the same as in the dark days of reconstruc tion, and only awaits the opportunity to inflict upon our people the same disgrace and humiliation. Its action in the fed eral congress indicates too plainly that it is a party of force, without respect for law or order. The despotic usurpations of the petty tyrant who has been placed by them in the speaker's chair only to dishonor it ; the deprivation of legally ehcted Demo crats of their seats in both branches of Congress and the seating of Republicans in their stead without the least vestige of right, for partizan purposes, and the ef fort to perpetuate themselves in power by the passage of a federal election law by which the control of congressional elec tions will be transferred from the State authorities to the hands of irresponsible agents appointed nt the dictation of un scrupulous partizans at the national cap ital, thus striking a serious blow nt our cherished institutions and the rights of the sovereign States : the reckless appro priation of the public funds for illegal and unnecessary purposes, by which not only is the surplus left in the treasury at the end of Mr'Cleveland's benign administra tion entirely swept away and a large de ficit created, but also the opportunity of giving relief from the burdens of taxation is retarded; all admonish us that our only safety lies in a return to Democratic rule in the country and its continuance at home. Should they succeed in their aims we might expect federal supervisors, backed by federal bayonets, at the polls and a re-en ac tin en t of the scenes of 1808 in our own nnd our sister States. Utterly indifferent to the interests of the Southern farmer, all its legislation has been at our expense for the benefit of other interests and other sections, and the only hope of the agricultural South is to throw off the legislative shackles that have crippled our prosperity and bound us to poverty is to move forward on the lini-s of those great principles of relief which the Democratic party has steadfastly advocated. To attain these ends the co-operation of all patriotic men w ho have at heart the prosperity of our agricultural and industrial interests and the material welfare of our Southern peo ple is earnestly asked, an .1 they are urged to enroll themselves leneath the Demo cratic banner. Let every Democrat realize the respon sibility that rests upon him and meet it. There can be no doubt of a grand victory if we do our full duty. Unceasing vigi lance is the ju ice w hich we must pay for success, but when we consider what de feat means to us the sacri ice is small. Over estimate, rather than under esti mate, the enemy and go into the fight de termined to w in it. We must prove equal ,to the emergency, and when the first Tuesday in November shall have passed victory will beours,and whitesupremacy, which is synonymous with Democratic rule, will be assured to us for a further term.

How great a pity it is that other 1 men ol 1 . w r-h 11 it .Hiiiiiii nM vf cy-k little of his I PEOPLE WHO CAN'T SPELL. DUUncuiahcd and Educated Persons Who Misspell Their English. A clever young Harvard instructor was once heard to say, "I really never dare correct a student's misspelling till 1 navo looked in the dictionan-." " Just as I," answered a clever woman, quickly, "never dare use feeble lest spell it fe-e-ble!" The lady was under the impression that the word should be spelled "feable." A great and universal contempt is felt for the person who misspells. But some of the wisest men and the best hare had the mhsfortuno of being unable always to m&rsnai tneir letters correctly. A Cambridge provision dealer tells of receiving an order for salt "iuackrel from a Harvard professor. A bill made out by one of the leading pedagogues 01 a neighboring city con eluded with "balbuice due." Those who know will tell that the sermons of dis tinguished clergymen sent up for print ing frequently abound in errors of this land. Cobbett, in his grammar, loved to give instances of bad spelling and ungrauv matical language in kings' speeches. The Father of his Country had his own sys tem of spelling and his wife had another and very different one. A brilliant ac tress whom we all admire invariably epeils Tuesday Teusday. .Napoleon was not a correct speller, and the Iron Duke slipped often. The misfortune is often an inherited one, and whole families unto their remotest branches and twigs will show the same weakness. "What! saysMaj. Pendennis, "would you marry a woman who spelt affection with one f?" Why not a woman as well as a man? If correct spelling were neces sary to the marriage state she might ask how many of our presidents would be doomed to celibacy? Gen. Taylor and Andrew Johnson would scarcely have read their title clear to husbandhood. Cambridge Tribune. An Indian Tradition. There is a tradition amongst the Indi ans that away back in the dusky hitherto knowledge of a cave of gold was pos sessed by an Indian family on the Sau geea peninsula, who handed the secret down from father to son and guarded it with jealous care. Tho cave was sup posed to be situated somewhere on the Spanish river, and once a year the bead of the family paid a visit to it and brought away sufficient gold to last him for twelve montlie. About 150 years ago the then son, being enticed away from bis native guilelessness by intercourse with the crafty paleface, put up a job on the old man, and patiently dogged his footsteps when he went on his yearly ex pedition. The unsuspecting father had filled his firebag with gold, and was turning to leave the cave, when he saw a shadow lurking at the entrance. Quick as thought ne raised his gun and tired, and tho fig ure fell. When he got out ho found that he had shot his son, and in the agony of his grief drew his hunting knife and stabbed himself to the heart, his body falling across that of his son. There the skeletons lie to this day, and any one who molests them may expect the treat ment which all naughty boys receive when they meddle with what does not concern them. Manitoulin Expositor. What Broke Up the Assembly. Spudaway It's astonishing what these sleight-of-hand men can do. I saw Prof. Blitzen once spin an ordinary top upside down on a ceiling for fifteen minutes. Blinker That was a mere trick. I knew a man in TJtica that could dance for half an hour on top of a picket fence. Jimes (contemptuously) That's noth ing. Old Dave Persimmons, down in Lee township, could put a black walnut between two of his toes and crack it. Griff lira (with a sneer) Do you call that strength? Jeff Chitwood, a fellow I used to know down on Crooked creek, could balance a blacksmith's anvil on bis nose. I've seen him do it many a time. Swilk 1 don't doubt it a bit. I got on a North Side cable car yesterday. Took a transfer at Divereey street. Car was right there didn't have to wait a second Spudaway, Blinker, Jimes and Griffum (vociferously) That's a lie! Chicago Tribune. Eat Nothing- with Fish. I think it is a wise plan that an Eng lish friend of mine tells me Sir Morell Mackenzie adopts in his own family, and has caused to be followed by many of bis friends and patients that of never allow ing bread on the table when he baa fish there. Under no circumstances will he eat, or permit to be eaten, fish or bread at the same time. He holds that the presence of bread in tho mouth prevents tho detection of the' presence of a bone, which is lodged in the throat before it is discovered, and strangulation follows. The wisest way is certainly to eat fiah alone, never with bread or similar sub stances, for there is much danger in fish bones. St. Louis Globe-Democrat Too Much "Yankee." The Yankee mate of a ship in the har bor of Havana, having some spare time on his hands, heated bricks in the stove to a red heat, wrapped them about with felt cloth and flung them overboard to the sharks. He had done for twelve oi the monsters when the authorities stopped him as a "disorderly" character, claim ing that the sharks acted as scarengers for the public benefit. Detroit Free Pre..s. Trade Marks Are Old, Too. Trade marks were known in ancient Babylon. China had them as early as 1000 B. C. They were authorised by parliament in England in 1800. Even Guttenberg, the inventor of printing, is said to have had a lawsuit over his trade mark. St. Louis Republic. Dr. William A. Hammond, for many years surgeon general of the army, has recently- built a costly residence in Washington. It is situated near Mrs. Logan's home, and is described as a palace. Many people habitually enduie a feeling of lassitude, because they think thev have to. If they would take Dr. J. H. McLean's Sarsapanlla this feeling ot weariness I would give place to vigor and vitality.
