A CURIOUS DREAM
Containing a Moral

Conclusion.
[ln the chapter preceding this was set forth
how certain, shrouded skeletons came myste
riously marching past my door after midnight,
carrying battered tombstones, crumbling col
fins, and such like property with them,and how
ono sat down by me to rest (having also his
tombstone with him, and dragging after him
his worm-eaten con' by a string), and com-
plained at great length of the discomforts of his
ruinous and long neglected graveyard. This
conversation now continneth.]
" Yes, friend," said the poor skeleton, "the
facts are Just as I have given them to you.
Two of these old graveyards—the one that I
resided in and the one further along—•have

off to get rid of those fools. But a dead man

are among the earth's bravest. They dare all

mighty waves overwhelm their barks, submit
heroically to a fate which, with steady, skill
and unfailing courage, they have labored to

produced evidence which really appals

, A WELCH MAN-MONSTER.
A series of outrages have lately been com
mitted ou the mountain between Blaenafon
and Cwmtillery, in Monmouthshire, and the
perpetrator has just been detected. Ile Is a
man of low stature, but powerfully built, of
repulsive countenance (something after the
Chinese typo) and dirty appciiance, named
George Thomar. On Saturday week a good
looking girl of modest demeanor, named Eli
zabeth Jones, was passing through a wood
known as Squire Leigh's Wood, when Thom
as, who had been lying down by the side of
the path, abruptly made indecent proposals to
her, jumped on her back, threw her down and
mninitted a rape. It happened that three
little boys were near at hand, suspecting that
he was "up to no good," to use their' own
words. They heard the girl's screams, and
two of them beheld him commit the offense,
they standing on a wall at a little distance.
The third boy ran and told his uncle that a
man was murdering a woman in the wood.
The uncle ran down and met the girl, who
was crying, and told him what had happened.
She described the fellow who had abused her,
and the young man went in pursuit and caught
him just ns he was escaping from the wood.
He was fully identified by the girl and the
boys. On Monday he was arranged at the
Pontypool Police Court, before Colonel Byrde
and the Rev. J. C. Llewellin, and evidence to
the above effect having been given, he was
fully committed for trial.
• Another of his victims, Mrs. Lewis, the wife
of a gentleman farmer living at Blaentillery,
deposed that 'he violated her as she was cross
ing the mountain on the 22nd of January,
while she was returning on foot from n visit
to her father's house. ne was committed
on that charge also. A. third victim, a pOor
old widow named Hannah Parry, 62 yearS of
age, deposed that the prisoner violated her on
the mountain on' the 26th of January. Ile
was further committed for trial on this charge.
The words which he addressed to the females
were nearly identical in each case, and both
Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. harry picked him out in
a motneut from other men between whom he
was placed. Ile pleaded the 'consent of the
girl in the first case brought forward, and de

" QUAD'S" PATHETIC EFFORT.
A Touching Narrative
Several of my friends, writes "Quad" to a
western paper, have often urged me to write
articles combining pathos, pity and sentiment
—something calculated to touch people's
hearts, and make them feel there ii something
worth living fir in the grand future. I can't
do it. I have tried several times, and always
failed, though one, to look at me, might think
that I could write an article calculated to make
a null's heart throb like a frog in a skillet. I
have often been told that my pensive eyes seem
to be kinking way off, as if to see something
the others could not see. This is partly true
but my eyes have got this kind of a look from
w itching for my shoemaker, as a sudden
meeting with him might not prove agreeable
to Loth sides. In addition, I once got in the
way of a can of powder,' bound to go otT, and
I can't look any other way but pensive if I
try.
Last week I sat down to write a pathetic
article. I had all the groundwork drawn out,
and was in hopes to make a brilliant success.
I intended to lend off with the poem " Beauti
ful snow," and then go on to tell how a bright
little child, who sold morning papers and
blacked boots, died 'of the meesles. I was
going to have a heath-bed scene, with a warn
ingd.rom him to other boys not to go in swim
ming In the month of May, when a fellow
came up stairs and basely flung me under the
table, and kicked at me and thinned out my
hair, and called Inc abusive names, because I
had written up a good Joke on Idm the week
before.. No one can feel pathetic after passing
through n fight, and the article was laid aside.
I then started out to writ - up an old man.
I felt that I should make it a success. I was
going to have him waiting for the tomb,
trembling and white-haired, having settled up
his grocer's bill and all ready to go. I had him
named Mike Murphy, and his mother-in-law
asking him to stay around awhile longer, as
she wanted him to build fires on cold morn
ings, and here I broke down completely.
A friend then suggested that I might make
a happy strike on lost children, going on about
"little white night-gowns," "red shoes," and
such things, and picturing the feelings of ti
fond mothers heart ns she bent over the emp
ty couch. I tried it. I failed: I got the lit
tle child In Its eighteen years old, and had her
run away with a drug clerk, taking her little
red shoes along with her, as well as seven
dollnrs belonging to a hoarder, and the critic
said the thing was too personal, and laid it
gently in the stove.
As a last ctthrt I got on the track of an "old
woman." I was ainguine that I could draw
oars on her. I started out with some lined o
toy poetry. asking who would not be old, and
how long it would be before all of us, now
young and healthy, would be an old woman.
1 was instructed to locate her in a garret, seat
ed on an empty herring box, and asking the
;are wells w here her children were, where
her young days had gone, where the husband
was who used to call her his own darling Pau
line Mabel. I couldn't do it. Iscorned to
draw on my imagination, and so wrote her up
as having on a waterfall, a flounced skirt and
a pair, of spectacles, seated behind the door
with the potatmjammer in her hands, waiting
for Smith, who was playing billiards up on
Gratlot road. I had him sneak in,•got up a
light that brought the police, and had the mat
tcr amicably settled by Smith agreeing to buy
her n bottle of hair dye. It wasn't published.
The critic said that he •never heard of old
women dyeing their hair to make them look
young, never heard of a family fight, and he
took my old woman and thing her under the
table.
WESTON'S TRIUMPH
ONE HUNDRED MILES IN TWENTY-ONE DOORS,
TIIIILTY-EIUUT MINUTES, AND 'FIFTEEN
MEM
It was announced some weeks ago, that on
the 25th of May, in the Empire City Skating
Milk, New York, Edward Payson Weston,
the celebraten pedestrian, would attempt the
extraordinary feat of walking 100 miles In 22
consecutive hours. Some sneered, others
doubted, but Weston; nothing daunted, quietly
made his preparations, and on Wednesday,
under the eyes of competent and honest judges
and in the presence of thousands of applaud
ing spectators, the feta was fairly and tri
umphantly accoMplisbed. Mr. Weston's only
training consisted in a daily morning walk of
ten or fifteen miles during the three weeks
preceding the trial. On Tuesday he slept
soundly front 2 o'clock till 10, and then ate a
hearty meal of cold roast beef. He made his
appearaUce at the Rink promptly at midnight,
and at 19:15 a. m., on Wednesday, he began
his walk. The length of the track, which was
made of earth and shavings, was 733 feet and 5
inches, and he was required to makenearly 713
rounds to itecomplish the prescribed distance.
Eight rounds were allowed for every fifth mile,
and seven rounds for all the others. Weston
started off in excellent spirits, and made the
lirst round in 1 minute 55 seconds and the
first mile in 11 minutes and 15 seconds. The
first 25 miles were accomplished in 4 hours 7
minutes and 54 seconds, and the first 50 miles
in 10 hours 35 minutes and 31 seconds. Bev.
cuty-live miles wero completed in 10 hours
18 minutes and 8 seconds, and the round 100
were triumphantly ended In 21 hours 88 min:

too, was leisurely done, leaving still 15 min.
utee to spare. Weston stopped nine times
during the walk • for rest or refreshment, the
shortest halt being 8 minutes, and thelongest
0 minutes and 40 seconds. His food, taken
at intervals, consisted of beef tea, coffee, and
crackers dipped in strong green tea: After
the 80th mile he took a spoonful of champagne
three times, and during the last 10 miles
ho swallowed a little brandy and water about
every third round. He used a sponge dipped in
bay rum to moisten his head and wrists,and put
whisky in his shoes to ease his feet. Hig
quickest round, the last of the 80th mile, was
walked in ono minute and twenty seconds.—
During the day there was a scattering atten
dance of curious spectators, but after nightfall
a crowd poured in until there were not less
than 5,000 people present, Including not a few
ladies, who watched with the keenest interest
the rapid strides of the wonderful pedestrian.
The scene was picturesque. The Rink glit
tered with a myriad brilliant gas Jets. The
cool fountain in the middle tossed a score of
tiny streams into the air. A. band of music
played the most jocund and Inspiring tunes.
The animated crowd swayed to and fro with
restleSs interest, and still the little figure of
the smiling athlete pursued its unhesitating
way. Bareheaded, clad only in his shirt and
tight velvet trousers, with shoes and leggings,
Weston shot along like a human cornet.—
Every time ho passed the judge's stand a
hearty clapping of hands saluted him. To
ward the close the enthusiasm became so in-
tense that the most cynical became sympa-
thetic, and anxiously inquired 4 " How far
now I" "Six miles and an hour and a half l"
" Three miles and 35 minutes l" " One mile
and 31 minutes I" On the last mile the ex
citement was tremenduous, and when Weston
came up, smiling and bowing, the air was
rent with hurrahs and bravos, and stamping
of feet; and hats and handkerchiefs were
waved on every aide. Weston mounted the
raised platform, where his wife and child were
sitting, end made a neat little speech of
thanks, amid renewed sneering.
WILL YOU TAKE A SHEEP
An old farmer, about the timeth .ttlie,tem•
perance reform was beginning to exert a
healthful influence in the country, said , to his
hired man :
" Jonathan, I did think to mention to you
when I hired you that I think of trying to do
my work this year without rum. How much
more must I give you to do without.?
" Oh, I don't care much about it," said Jon
athan, " you may give me what you please."
" Well," said the farmer, "I will give you
a sheep in the fall, if you will do without."
" Agreed," said Jonathan.
The oldest son then said : •
" Father, will you give me a sheep too, it I
do without rum ?"
" Yes Marshal, you shall have a sheep if
you do without."
The you'ngest son, a stripling, then said
" Father, will you give me a eheep if I do
without 7"
Yes, Chandler, you shall have a sheep also
you wiicao without rum."
- Presently, Chandler spoke again :
" Father, hadn't you better take a sheep
oo ?"
STORY ABOUT GEN. THOMAS
Among the stories told of Gen. Thomas is
an incident which occurred when ho and .his
chief of staff, Gen. Garfield, were inspecting
the fortifications, of Chattanooga in 1863.
They heard a shout, "Hello Gin'rl I You I
I want to speak to ;" and Gen. Thomas found
that ho was the; person addressed by an un.
couth backwoods East Tennessee soldier. He
stopped and the dialogue which ensued was
as follows:
"Gin'ri, I want to got a furlough."
"On what grounds do you want a fur.
ough, my man?"
" I want to go home and ace my wife."
"How long aim you aaw your wife ?"
" Ever since I enlisted, nigh on three
month."
" Threo months?" good naturedly. " Why
my good man, I haven't aeon my wife for
three years."
The East Tennessean stopped whittling for
a moment and stared incredulously ; at length
he said : " Well you see, me and my wife
ain't that kind."
Even General Thomas' grimness was not
proof' against the laughter which he rode
away to conceal, leaving the astonished sol
dier without an answer.
ACCOUNT OF THE FENIAN FIGHT.
From conversation with tho Canadian
cers and men, It Is learned that the entire Ca
nadian force at first engaged numbered only
40 men. About 20 more were eating dinner
at a short distance from the scene, when they'
heard the volley and they immediately
formed a skirmish line within al out 25 rods
of the Fenian& The advance company were
thus prevented from crossing the bridge just
north of the line, and at once ran lip' the hill
to the left and rear where they formed on the
right of the Fort Edward. arid Bridgeport
companies. Only two were killed,' John
Rowe of Burlington, and H. O'Brien of Mo
rita', N. 11. Both fell on thlii side of the line,
the former in the road, and the latter on the
hillside. About sundown the Canadians got
Rowe's body and buried it near their own
position in a shallow grave, piling stones on
top of it three or four feet high, as they were
determined "that Amnia shouldn't rise
again." The body of O'Brien was taken by
the Fenians to Franklin, where it now lies.
The following are the names of the wounded:
Lieut. Edward Hope ofilridgeport, Conn.,
in the thigh. He claims to have been in 98
engagements in the Union army.
Frank Carrigan of the same company, in
the groin ; probably fatal.
E. Cronan of the same Company, in the leg.
