NASBY DREAMS A DREAM IN WHICH THE FUTURE OF A "GREAT AND GOOD" MAN IS FORESHADOWED. Coxfedrit X Roads, "l (wich is in the Slate uv Kentuchy,) Wttj24th, 187i J I am gettin old and am feelin my years Ti me wuz when ten or a dozen drinks more than yoosual didn't make any dif ference with me, but it's quite diffrent now. It tells on my old body, and I hev to be guardid. We had a ratificashen meetin last nite, at wich I did indulge more than I shood, and I fell asleep in a chair at Bascoui's and dreamed a dream. In my dream I saw a high, elevated plain, bounded on three sides by a steep, preciptus bluff. On the top uv that plain (wich a pleasant and breezy place it wuz), and back somewat from the edire uv the the precipice stood thatbildin wich is the Mecca to wich all Dimocrats hev . bin turnin their eves for the past 12 rears, the White House. On the very edge uv lu j 1 - t- -r wich I bed no difficulty in identifyin. There wuz Grant and Colfax, and around em stood Morton, Butler, Sherman, Shel labargcr, and a thousand others uv sich, while jist over their heads there wuz a floatin in the air the spirits uv Washing ton, Adams, Jefferson, Linkin and all uv them deceest individooals wich would hev sympathised with the Republikin party ct they had continyood in the flesh. Down at the foot uv this precipice there wuz a low, swampy, marshy, malarious deestrik, wieh was the most uncomfortable seckshun uv kentry I ever see. The ground wuz full uv cess pools, uv quag mires and quicksands. There wuz bones of niggers scattered all over it there wuz roons uv old skool-hoases : there wuz groceries and 'sloons scattered about it in wild profoosion ; there wuz broken printin presses, and the cheerful gallows- tree on wich John Brown hed bin hung wuz distinctly visable. Attempts hed bin apparently made to kiver op the burnt skool-houses and broken printin presses and the "allows with resoloosheos, but the kiverin wuz too thin, and they showed I thro very plainly, lhis spot wuz tenant- ed by Boss Tweed and Hoffman, surround ed with Connolly, Oakey Hall, and all uv them fellows, and over their heads wuz the ghosts uv Wigfall, Yancey and Benedict Arnold. I thought I saw His Majesty, Satan the I., sailia about with the ghost uv Yancey, but it mite hev bio some one else. There wuz one quicksaad a r . marked where reward went down in a very bad smellin pool Chase waz floatin about oa a board marked "Supreme Bench," makin feeble attempts to land somewhere. There wuva few solid spots uv ground, oo lork, Kentucky and Maryland, and on them the live men were Prom this unpromisin locality staudin there wnz a nath un to the heights above. . ... l i, j VUi lfc wui uaiici, uiuicu, iiuukcu auu i steep, and besides that, passage from the lower to the higher region wuz desperate- ! rtc,l tb 9rr til mnn kn array okkepied it.

Colfax, in pcrtikeler, seemed sncoosolable, tad wuz a tearin his hair with ereef. Curious to know wat it wuz that wuz causio all this com- moshen, I shifted my posisheo so ez to get a view uv the entire arrangement, . and I saw it at ouce. lweed and Jiot ' - a a W W man had histed up along ladder to the . a a ton uv the rock, wich wuz really a - r 9 curioity.

If. .It, t Polk down Irom tne wneeis uv voniearu cannon.- The ladder wuz labeled "Cincinnati." and the rounds "civil servis reform," "one term," and 60 on. Holman and Connolly wuz a holdiu the feet uv the ladder sted- dy, and Boss Tweed stood by em, holdiu out a scroll labeled "Presidency." On the top uv the bluff stood Horis Greeley, clothed in glory, and perfeckly radiant in his attire. His old head wuz crowned with laurels in fact he wuz a walkin arbor ut em, . He had one foot on the first round uv the ladder. ' "Come back I" shouted Colfax. "Come to us !" shoutid the crowd below "Come back to yoor friends, yoo idiot I sed Morton. "Come to us, aod yoo shell hev this ! sed Tweed, Cauotin the scroll. That settled him. His face change from the innocence uv the Iamb to the hiir!.rv cairernis uv the wolf, and down be went. He made a misstep and parshel ly fell, knocking off all his laurels. His aoneaiaiice chauired. The ladder hed bin roughly made, and wuz full uv splinters His ekal rites cloak caught on one uv em and wuz torn off. A nail head on the oext round stripped off his protecktheo coat, another on the next knockt his ao;i corrupshen vest into smithereens,' his civil rites pants wuz taken off by the next, and by the time he got to the fourth, he wuz divested uv everything under heavens wich made him sizable, and and stood there shiverin in the wind, a mizable. deformed, weak, shaky, dimi- Dutive, shrunken man, with nothin under Heaven remarkable about him but his orbiiA hat and the fact that he hed one - boot and one shoe on. Tweed and his friends saw this ehriok iog process goin on ex he approached them, add they become alarmed. Good Lord " sed Okey Hall, "ef he ain't any bigger and more muskeler than he looks dow wc can t make any yoose uv him. He'll hever be strong enough to pull n out uv this !" I hem on the bluff wich hed regarded his deparcher with sich looks uv sadness. bust out into peels of laffture. 'There ain't a hundredth part ez much uv him ez we supposed," shouted they. "We've nothing to i fear from him !" and they Iaffed vociferously at the ridikulous figger he wuz a makin uv hisself. AH this time Horris wuz a standin on the One Term round uv the ladder, wich wuz the thiunest uv all uv em. "Come down to us !" shouted Tweed. "I can't go any further down than this !" replied Horris, shudderia ez he saw the plite he wuz in. " Whereupn Tweed and Hall and the others run up the ladder to support him They wuz drippin with the nastiness from the slum below, wich kivered the poor old man ez they rubbed agin him. Ihen ley threw upon him a Tammany banner and a Confederit flair. To keen him stid. and a Confederit flarr. To keeD him stid dy both uv em run up the ladder and got on the same round. Sam Siuclair, John Cochran and sum others come down close behind him. to assist, and the yoonited weight wuz too much. The ladder broke in two and Tweed, Hoffman, Greeley, Sinclair, Triboon and all plunged into the quagmire, lhere wuz :i splash, a gurgie or two and the entire bihn uv cm sank out uv site. The splash wawoke me, and I meditat ed a half hour over this singular dream afore takin another drink and coin home. Kin it be," thot I, "that all there is in Horris is his Kepublikinism ?" It hez trooly bin so with all our venchers. Chase comes to us, but when he stepped over the line, he leit all bis streosnn behind him. Seward, insted uv bein a help to us, proved to be a load to carry. Hev we taken Horns to our bozzums only to find him a heiress dead weight to be carried insted of a Giant strong enuff to carry us ? Is this dream prophetic ? Is the Cincinnati ladder too weak too hold Greeley and us uns. and will it, break down with our yoonited weight ? I fear me And pensively I dreaned my glass, and carelessly goin thro the reglet- form uv tellin Bascom to mark lt-'down, went sadly home. I fear me the day uv our deliverence isot yet at hand.

Sunday Employments. By law, every citizen has the privilege of ;iof doing on Sunday what he is oblig ed to do on other days. The very prac tical question meets him, what different things he can do -which will make this Sunday privilege a profit or a delight. Nobody is compelled to go to meeting or to sing psalms, or to learn catechism, or to read sermons to fill up his time. It is of no use to object to Sunday as a Puritan Sunday, for the law makes it a free day, and forbids work so that it shall be free. It is a somewhat singular fact, that with this chance of a free day so many can find nothing better to do than to do busi ness and work just as on other days, as if we did Dot all work hard enough from Monday morning to Saturday night. It is also something of a commentary on the capacity of many people for improvement and enjoyment that after a little extra scrubbing and dressing is finished on Sunday morning, they don't know to do with themselves for the rest of the day, and only consent to go to church because tis a little less stupid than to sit at home and gape at their own dullness iustcad of a preacher s. Some try a cigar and a novel, others a big dinner and a nap, others sitting .around a big stove and spit- tinr at it. Jsut after all these resources liave failed the only thing left is to wish or Monday and go to bed very early. c wish to suggest some things which can be done, to add interest to the Sun day of those who find its freedom dull. Take an hour Sunday mouinrr aud sit down alone, and think what you have done daring tho past week, aud afiltate the question whether you have done just as you really think is best, and mean to keep on doing. Have you told any lies the past week ? Count them on your fingers, if you can, and seriously consider wheth er you always mean to be a liar 7 Have you abused your neighbor, run down your competitor in other stores, slandered other politicians, or hurt any body s reputation the past week r These things are unspeably mean ; you know they are. God be thanked if you haven't done them ! ' But somebody does them. as I ask that somebody whether he always intended to be a mean fellow ? Have you cheated anybody in the last ten days ? Have you deceived any em ployer or kept back the just pay of any workman I Have you advertised decep tion of any kind? Does any money stick to you, which belongs to auy body else ? Are you goiug to make a permanent cheat of yourself? Are you not smoking too many cigars running up debts which you don't know how to pay; making a larger swell than your copital justifies aod getting ready for a smash and a run ? We hope not. But all these things happen, and if any one is overdoing himself in these days, ought he not to know it, aud settle whether his course is best? Take another hour on Suuday to do somebody some good for which you haven t the time on any other day. Write letter to the mother, or brother, or sister, whom you have forgotten for a long time. Hunt out a friend who has disappeared from your interest, and renew cordial acquaintance rind out some body who is suffering, and carry fresh cheer to him or her. Go to see the folks who would be glad to see you, but whom you are not always glad jto sec. Help to put some kind of a home feehusr into everybody who is homeless. There are plenty of good acts, which are not com moo aud on Sundays you want to do something uncommon. That is what the day is made for. I'm talking to people who find cunday dull aud the church un tneaoin" and do not care to pay religion much attention. I do not waut to drive you where you do not want to go. But we ought all of us to make, of Sunday finer day 'than the rest of .days, because we have the chance. Our daily toil makes us dull. Sunday ought to wake us up Our daily temptations make us deceitful, hard aud selfish. Sunday ought to loosen out the chords of affection and humanity and give us hearts of flesh. The daily life of Dien is burdened with sin and ugliness streaked with deceit, fould with lust and appetite. It deserves to be improved. Suuday is improvement time I believe that when any one begins to improve his time, he will soon find what a good church Sunday will do, and the value of religion. Priends, try my advice a little while I J. M. Smith. After all the grumbling, the crops iu Minncssota will be magnificent. Ostriches are now raised for the feath ers in Africa, and yield fifty dollors per year. Macon, Ga, disputes Brooklyn's claim as the "City of Churches." She has a church to less than every thousand in habitants. Wisconsin is exciting itself about a little girl whose head is said to weigh seventy eight pounds. How they managed to weigh tho head without the body is not stated. In the San Joaquin Valley is a grain patch thirty five miles long and eight miles wide, covering au area of 170,200 acres; the average yield is estimated at sixteen bushels, which will give a total of 2,807,200 bushels, or 80,015 tons. Symptoms of Sunstroke. something to know in hot weather. The symptoms of sunstroke arc at once uniform and diverse uniform in their general outline, and diverse in their especial details. In the ordinary form that which may be spoken of as the cere brospinal variety af ter more less distinct warning, in the shape of such premoni tory symptoms as headache, disordered vision, intense weariness, etc., the subject becomes unconscious, sometimes more gradually. The laborer will fall sense less in the street; iu the hospital the comrades of a sick man will have their attention attraced by his heavy breath ing only to find that natural sleep has passed by sensible degrees into fatal coma or stupor. With this insensibility there is always associated iutcose heat of the skin. To the hand the surface feels in tensely hot; nor is the sensation a decep tive ooe the heat of the body exceeds that attained in almost any other affec tion. A thermometer placed in the armpit, instead of indicating uinety eight degrees, Pahrenbeit, the temperature of health, rises generally to oue hundred and nine deirrees. iu some cases even to one hundred and thirteen degrees. Prom the peculiar pungency of this heat the a technical term calor mordax. or bitiu heat, has been applied to it. lhe suface may or may not be pale ; very often it is dusky, with a livid blush purnlc hue. The eves are sometimes wild and restless, sometimes fixed and crlarinrr Qnmittimni 11 11 with lp.-ldcn llllR of approaching death. The pupils at first are generally coutractcd ; in the later stages they are often widly -dilated. H ith these symptoms ot intense lever are others betoken nervous disturbance. In some cases those are of the nature of paralysis, the patient lying apparently in the deepest sleep, not a muscle moving, not a limb raised, not au eyelid quiver ing In other cases this peaceful though deadily calm is replaced by a wild temp est raging delirium, wild screams as though of intensest agony or uncontroll able passion, furious convulsions follow ing one another, like the rapid discharge of a galvanic battery, throwing the body in all directions, twisting it into every conceivaole shape, the countenance mock ing the derisive laughter of the maniac, or knotted iuto an expressiou of agony, TT .a a 1 I in another and pernaps more common class the unconscious patient is simply restless, muttering incoherent words, tos- sing about on the bed, showing, perhaps, also signs of local paralysis. There ap- pears to be a curious couuection between this variety of symptoms and the diner- ence of races, lhe Anglo Saxou rarely becomes wildly delirious, whilst this is the most common symptom amongst the Latin nations. Prenchmen thus attacked often become melancholic, and develope au irresistible tendency to suicide, so that soldiers on the march will suddenly shoot themselves. Whatever may be the form of the at- tack, generally as the minutes pass me symptoms are intensified : the quick pulse of the first onset becomes more and more feeble, the labored breathiug noisy and stentorious, the surface darker and dark- er as respiration tails ; and death at last is brought about by asphixia, and some times by the almost consentaneous fading away of respiration and circulation. The one great symptom, the centre of the group in all forms of the disease, is the high temperature. If the skin be cool the case is not sunstroke. After death the high temperature continues, and is said sometimes to rise higher. Decomposition follows with exceeding rapidity. On post mortem examination the only features of striking importance are a condition of blood similar to that seen in low fevers, a rigid, contracted state of the heart, in which it feels like wood, and a great tendency toward the rapid but transieut development of that peculiar stifleciug which at some tunc al ter death takes possession of the muscu- lar tissues. Jjijijnncott's Majzinc. The Butter Trade. Pew people have a just idea of the im mense amount of capital invested in the butter trade. According to statistics, the dairy products of tho United States ag create in value fcoUU.UU'J.UUU annually From official sources the total sales of dairy products of the United States, for 1870, from 8,1)35,332 cows, was : butter, 5U,092,GS2 lbs , at an average of 30c. per lb., or 8171,301,230 ; cheese, 53,402, 153 lbs , exclusive of factory product, statistics of which are not at hand, at au average of 15c. per lb., or 5802,282 20 ; milk, 235,5U'J,5'.)'J gallons, at an average of 30e. per gallon, or S70.CV2.879 70 ; making a grand total of 242,810.488. This is exclusive of the enormous amount consumed by producers that cannot be reached, as it goes into consumption with out sales or accouut, aud can ouly be esti mated. This, with the increase of pro daction since 1870, is currently estimated to make up the balance of the $000,000,- 000. which, without statistics given miirhfc Keem too hi-rh. The butter trade in New York centres in Orange County to a considerable extent, lurnishing that city over half a million pounds during the season of six months. Probably there is uot a trade of the same magnitude that is so wholly without organization as the butter trade aud has so many errors aud abuses. HINTS TO CARPENTERS. The American Builder believes .that there is much labor in vain in - the orna mentation of houses, especially wooden houses. It tells carpenters before mak ing and fixing a quantity of ornament to be sure that it is good, and goes on to say : There are many things that you do and many others that an architect if there be ooe in the case will often in struct you to do, which are Deither tasto f ul nor in good construction. Of course there are exceptions You may be sure of this, however, that the more elaborate and covered with ornamennt and carv ing the building is, the more you are go ing on the wrong track. Ileal beauty consists Dot in added features but in the body of the work itself, and this fact should always be borne in mind. The principle of carving wood for oat side ornament is wrong. We would uot say it is to be discarded altogether, but, still we have that leaning. Cut work, aod that of the simplest kiud is the best. Complexity in forms and ornament id mostly bad. It not only requires unne cessary labor to produce, but there is ac tually vexation in the mind of the spec tator. When people see a thing that is so crowded with iutricate work, that it takes them trouble to make it out, it is tolerably good evidence that such work i3 not exactly what is wanted. Give groat attention to the sizes and proportions of doors and windows aud pay especial atteution to the sizes and con- struction : aud never if possible, conceal its principles, but bt them form the basis of ornament. Mouldings, cornices and. miters are not to be put in exposed poisi tions. It is surprising what an excellent effect can be produced by cuttiug, even with little or no moulding or carvinir. A Millionaire in Sackcloth and Ashes. A Saratoga correspondent of the Al bany Times says : Among the recent ar rivals at Saratoga is a young gentleman, of great fortune who is a regular summer visitor here, and who has invariable made a great display. This season he proposes to do the place on a quieter scale, on ac count of his mother's recent death. This is how he goes about it. He has a suit of rooms at the Congress, that under his supervision, have been so arranged as to a present a rather sombre appearance, for out ol respect to his mothers memory, they have been put in mornning. A deep black border runs around the ceilings, while the wall paper is of a very gloomy color ; the furniture which arrived to day, ,3 from Egypt, and is exceedingly gro tesque in appearance and mysterious in style ; nothing like it has ever before ap pcared in Saratoga. The gentleman an nounces that he will not enter the ball room this summer, but will entertain his friends in his rooms in an elegant and clostly mauner, of course no levity. He js to drive a four-in haud, his groom and coachman are to be attired lap robes, like funeral palls, are to be spread over the seats ot his carriages, which will be painted in keepinrr with l aw the habilitants of woe. Por these emb Jems of sackcloth and ashes he pays 500 Der week. Shoddy society calls this 'filial devotiou" and speaks of bim as a-v" r " ccntrie ; while common seuse people are citrh n nrnt enn hilt, ftn Oilil :i Till pn. unkind enough to call him a snob, aud oue of the most outre kind. The Man That Didn't Like Tripe. Liston, the actor, delighted in peculiar sort of practical joking in the streets. Walking one day with JMr. Miller, a theatrical bookseller, he happened to men tion casually that he was going to havo tripe for dinner, a dish of which he was particularly lend. Miller who hated it said : "Tripe 1 beastly stuff ! How can you to eat it ?" That was enough for Liston. He stop ped suddenly iu the crowded thorough fare, in front of a house, and holding Miller by the arm, exclaimed in a loud voice : "What, sir ! Do you mean to assert that you don't like tripe ?" Hush !" muttered Miller. "don't talk so loud ; people are staring at us." 'I ask you sir," continued Liston, iu still louder tones, "do you like tripo ?' "For heaven's sake hold your tongue t' cried Miller; "You will have a crowd arouud us."
