MR. 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

Linkin let fall a sperit tear, and Grant
and Morton lookt cz sad ez tho they wuz
losin their fathers. 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

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

'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

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

the Cincinnati ladder too weak too hold

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.

Macon, Ga, disputes Brooklyn's claim
as the "City of Churches." She has a

In the San Joaquin Valley is a grain
patch thirty five miles long and eight

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.

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

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."
And naturally people began to stop
and wonder what wa the matter, lhis
was exactly what Liston wauted, aud
again be shouted :
"Do you mean to say you don't like
tripe V
Miller, making a desperate effort, broke
from him, and hurried away in consterna
tion, followed by Listoa bawhug after
him :
"There he goes 1 That's tho man that
doesn't like liipe !" to the imnicuse amuse
ment of the numerous wayfares, many of
whom recognized tho popular comedian,
till the horrified bookseller took to his
heels and ran as if for like, pursued to
his very doorstep by a pack of young rag-
muffins, who took up the cry :
"There he goes ! The man that don't
like tripe !"
Let us make the best of life, nor render
it a curse, but take it as wo would a wile,
for hotter or for worse.'
