by Crow AV'ing, an Indian police agent. ;

his sudden and tragic taking off is much

The President's tondition on Sunday
was not at all satisfactory to his physi
cians, and it became apparent to them
that another operation upon him would
be necessary. The ojeration was per
formed bv Dr. Aguew, at the request of ance question tl
other physicians. The simple and only Pretty certain to
purpose of the operation was to secure a
more free and unobstructed passage
through the wound of the pus which
was too rapidly accumulating. Since
the operation the President has been get
ting i'long very well, and the physicians
regard his condition as entirely satisfac
tory. Somk people who talk glibly about
what they call the ignorance and super
stition of the dark ages will perhaps be
astonished to learn from the Eastern Ar

sicians who profess to cure by supernat

Nothing is too low. nothing to mean,

with the honorable career of Mr. nook

The Irish Land Bill would likely pass
the Hons of Lords yestenlay or to-day.
The bill has been amended in some of
its essential features, but Mr. Gladstone
has declared that he will resist the
change to the bitter end in the House of
Commons. John Bright in a speech at
a banquet in London on lust Saturday
night, said he had been advocating
changes in the Irish land system for
thirty years that he had studied the
subject and felt as strongly upon it as he
ever had on any political question, and
lie believed the land bill was as great
and r.oble a measure, as it was possible
for Parliament to pass. He did not
doubt that the time would speedily come
when the Irish people would recognize
the endeavor of the government to do
them right and justice.
Gen. Ben IIakkisox, Republican,
who was elected to the Cnited States

son, Russell, is superintendent of the 1".
S. Mint at Helena, Montana ; his broth
er, Carter, is a special agent of the
Treasmy Department: his brother-in-law,
Sam Morris, is registry clerk in the
post-omVe at Indianapolis, and his sisL r-in-law
has a snug clerkship in theTr. as

fair to infer that Harrison, who is evi
dently a disciple of Flanagan, of Texas,
who patriotically exclaimed at the Chi

of January, 17DJ. While a mere youth, he
came to the Fnited States, and was placed
in care of a merchant, and after a good edu
cation had a military experience by service
in the war of lfiii,. which lie left with the
rank of captain. Ketuming to commercial
life at the close of the war, he became, in
time, largely interested in manufacturing
business, whish he carried on successfully
for many years, and at the time of his death
was owner of three cotton mills, in which
over 4,0o0 operatives are employed. He
took great interest in militia organization in
his city and State, and lierame the Major
General of the First division in 18J4, which
rank he held for forty years. In the violent,
political disturbances "which took place in
December, is:v, General Patterson, in ole

The odious third-term doctrine as ap
plicable to the Governor of a State, was
resoluteiy squelched by the Democratic
State convention of Mississippi, which
met last week. The present Governor,
J. M. Stone, has been twice elected to
that position, but he wasn'; satisfied and
insisted on a third lease of power. His
principal competitor for the nomination
was a member of the Barksdale family,
as prolific a race of politicians in that
State as the Broadheads and Dimmocks
at one time in were Pennsylvania. Stone
received the most votes on nineteen bal
lots, but he fell short of a majority. The
fight ovtr the nomination became so bit
ter as seriously to threaten a disruption
of the party, and on the twentieth ballot
Gen. Robert Jewry's name was brought
before the convention, Barksdale and the
other aiiti-third tenners having with
drawn, and be was nominated. Gov.
Stone is no doubt a wiser man now than
he was when trying to play Grant's third
term role.
The death at his residence in Phila
delphia, on Sunday last, of General
Robert Patterson, who had almost reach
ed the fnth year of his age, removes
from the active scenes of life one of the
most honored and patriotic cit izens, not
only of the State, but of the Union. A
brief sketch of his life and the valuable
seiviccs rendered by him to his adopted
country will be found elsewhere in our
paper. Coming to this country with his
parents when a small boy, in 170S, the
year of the great Irish Rebellion, hebe
became a captain in the war with Great
Britain, in lsl2, a Major General in the
war with Mexico and again in the late
civil wnr, and it lias been truly said of
him by General Sherman, "that in every
epoch of this country we find his name
associated with the bravest and ast in
peace and war.'' General P. never held
a political office, although he was often
solicited to accept one, but he filled
many civil positions of high trust and
responsibility. His life was honorable
to himself and useful to his country,
and when it calmly .and peacefully closed,
theie passed away another of that in
unierable throng of Irishmen, who, on
every battle-field from the commence
ment of theRevolutionary struggle down
to the close of the war of the rebellion,
have liecn the stout and willing defend
ers of American liberty.
crowd to his house to force him to put out
: the flag. A number of gentlemen heard of
1 the proceeding, and rallied to the general's
house, and placed Themselves inside, for his
i defense. The multitude came, and the ven
erable citizen stepped to the front of his res
; idence and boldly faced them. He told them
j he had heard of their visit, and that he was
ready for them. "I have fought for my
country a:nl for the obi flag in two great
wars, and I shall do as much against the
present rebellion. But I do not apologize to
! you. You will be sorry for this wrong to
; one of my years : hut, before I go, I want to
i give you a little advice. (Jo lo the front
yourselves, and when you have shown the
; right kind of patriotism, you ran come and
, teach it to me." Needless to say that the
; party retired a good deal crestfallen.
General Patterson's public employments
have been chielly confined to tli" military
service of the country. He has, however,
! occupied several civil stations of prominence.

Postscript.
A few das ago an aged Cerman, living
on Market street, say- the Jhirffurd Tim,
left his vest in the store of his employer for
a short time. When he returned he found
that two watches, one of gold and one of
silver, bar! been stolen from the vest. Now
conies the most singular part of the story.
The old man a night or two ago dreamed he
saw the watches covered with straw in a
corner of the yard adjoining the bouse w here
he slept. The next morning he told his
dream, and was laughed at by all the house
hold except the woman head of the family.
i She advised him to go and look over the
i place designated in bis dream. He did so,
: and in a few minutes his cries of joy brought
I forth all the household. He had, by poking
! in the straw in the spot designated, found
i fine watch, and was a!nio-t overcome. A
; few minutes' further search brought to light
the other watch and the chains. Now the
' old man rejoices, and is a firm believer in
1 dreams.

The people of North Carolina on yes
terday eek voted on the question of
ratifying or icjecting a prohibitory liq
uor law, enacted by a Democratic Legis
lature at its last session and approved by
a Democratic Governor. The negro
troops fought nobly against ratification,
and the Republicans fought side by side
with them, thereby defeating the law by
sixty or seventy thou-and majority. We
recollect having lead at the beginning
of the campaign an extract from a
s.ieech delivered by a colored orator at a
mass meeting in one of the counties in
that State, in which he said that it
wasn't a prohibitory liquor law that was
wanted m North Carolina, but that the
great and crying want was "better whis
key and more of it."' This seems to
Lave been the prevailing belief of the
colored voters throughout the State, and
the result is ad above stilted. While it
is a lamentable fact that intemperance
is the great and overshadowing evil of
the country, it will never be removed by
the enactment of prohibitory liquor laws,

worried about what could eau-e them. She wan

! the singular trances into which tbe led daily was
. a tormenting misery.
About four week! since the la.ly hail a dream
which po Impressed lier upon an i k jrinir 1 hat sj1B
j informed ber lamiiy about it. She said that she
1 dreamed of iroini; to a city named Willi es. arte in
f Pennsylvania. That phe crossed a river in a eov
i ererd "carrii:e ai.d drove to a larpe monument
. which stixni a little eft the main road that b-d bv
' it. That njHin arnuinn at the monument be en
tered the Kate and walked inside. .Tust In front
' of the northern face ot the tall slut. lyinn in the
irrafs. she observed a small white stone, not mii'-h
; toiler than a walnut, on which were seven, round
j black spots, which she picked op nnd put in her
lHieket. She then went away, but before jjettirt
' out of the enclosure Jhc was met by an old woman
wtio told har that as lon as she" kept the sine
j about her person she would never be troubled with
, the spells she wa subject to. Ttie lamiiy, very
1 naturally, lauched at the vision, but the old lady
did not seem to regard it in a funny Itht at all.
i On the contrary she was very deeply iinpres-cd
with the drcaui and avoided the lamiiy durtnic the
I day. That niht. stranire to say, the Ttsion wa?
( repeated evaetiy. as it was also on the third utht.
. Hy Ibis timethe members of the family irrew quite
icrious nnd rcunled the voun ladv's dream with
' a rood deal of awe and intereM. Her spells
j tuiued coininif on daiiy about 3 o'clock in the al
tcrnoon. In tlie meantime the lady asserted her det"rmln
' ation to visit this city and look at the place she
I had dreamed about. Her physicians were eonsul
' ted. and after some days of hesitancy they tinaliy
aureed that it would b'e no barm to bring the lady
I here. It was on this occasion she came to this city
; Monday night, accompanied bv er lather and her
i physician. Tne wonderful part ol this strange
story is, that when the party, who had no ditficul
' ty In l.icatlns the Wyoming monument as tlie ob
i jeet ot the youni? In.fy'i vision, arriTed there she
was permitted to o alone Inside tha grate up to
j the tall Shalt. Hereyes were filed upon the ground
; with an intensity ol observation that was most
I acute. No word was said as she moved catitiouslv
aHut until she arrived on the northern side of the
shall. Then she Kared with a deeper look. slow
!y she passed her loot over the ttrass. tnisstns noth
ing In I he steady survey. ."Suddenly she st Kj-ed,
and with a cry ol joy she arose. IShe had found
the very stone she had dreamed about. SShe car
ried it to her lather, who examined it very closely
and then passed it over to the doctor. Hotu were
dumbfounded. Very few-words were spoken and
the party returned silently all the more anxious to
know il the flninitc spell would return a nam. now
thai the talisman that was to bani h them had
been lound. The younsr lady passed through that
day without her usual trance. The Same thina;
happened on the next day when the partv return
ed to Itoston. A letter received from the youn
lady last night says the lias not had a spell since
she found the stone.

i a writer, preacher, and educator.
' The Washington Republican says that
j the attendants of the jail represent 'iuiteau
i as being one of the most inoffensive of nris-
j oners. What he knows is wanted of him he j
j i" k wim i-iieeriuuy , never compiain-
I lug. He sleep well and does not appear at
j all stricken with remorse. All his wants
I are attended to in his cell ami he is allowed
1 to talk with no one. His hair is cut and
; beard trimmed by an attendant of the insti
; tution. He does not show any great inter
1 est in his food, and the only point that he
I makes in regard to the provender is that he
' shall not be served with fat meat Pieces of
lean meat are parceled out for him and he
seems perfectly contented with his meat and
I his bread and his coffee, the regular prison
fare.
