Strange Results of a Dream.
AMONG the Scotch-Irish settlers in
Washington county In 1812 was a
family Plymlre, who coupled a com
fortable farm and house. Rachel, the
daughter, was engaged to a young far
mer of the neighborhood. On a Satur
day evening In July, having finished
her week's work, she dressed herself
tidily and started to visit her married
sister, who lived on a farm about five
miles distant, intending to return on
Monday morning. She tied up her
Sunday gown and hat in a checkered
handkerchief, and carried her shoes and
stockings in the other hand, meaning to
walk in her bare feet and to puff them
on when she came in sight of her desti
nation, after the canny Scotch fashion.
She left home about seven o'clock in
order to have the cool evening for her
walk; the road to the farm was lonely
and unfrequented. The girl did not
return on Monday, but no alarm was
felt, as the family thought her sister
would probably wish to detain her for u
few days ; and It was not until the latter
part of the week that it was found she
had never been at her sister's. The
country was scoured, but in vain; the
alarm spread, and excited a degree of
terror In the peaceful, domeBtltl commu
nity which would Beem inexplicable to
city people, to whom the newspaper has
brought a budget of crime every morn
ing since their childhood. To children
raised in those lonely hamlets and hill
farms murder was a far-off, unreal hor
ror ; usually all they knew of it was
from the doings of Cain and Abel set off
with hideous wood-cuts in the family
Bible.
The girl had left home on Saturday
at seven o'clock. That night, long be
fore ten o'clock, (farmers usually going
to bed with the chickens,) a woman liv
ing in Green county, about forty miles
from Plymire farm, awoke her husband
in great terror, declaring that she had
just seen a murder done, and went on to
describe a place she had never seen
before a hilly country with a wagon
road running through it, and a girl with
a bundle tied in a checkered handker
chief, her shoes and white stockings in
the other hand, walking briskly down
the grassy side of the road. She was
met by a young man the woman Judg
ed from their manner the meeting was
by appointment ; they sat down on a
log and talked for some time. The man
at last rose, stepped behind her, and
drawing out a hatchet, struck her twice
on the head. She fell backward on the
wet, rotten leaves, dead. Presently the
man was joined by another, also young,
who asked, " is it done 1"' He nodded,
and together they lifted the body and
carried.it away out of her sight. After
awhile they came back, found the bun
dle of Sunday finery and the shoes and
stockings, all of which were stained
with blood. There was a ruined old
mill near the road, they went into it,
lifted a loose board in the flooring, put
the bundle, shoes, etc., with the hatchet,
underneath and replaced the board.
Then they parted and went through the
woods in different directions. The far
mer's wife told her dream to her hus
band that night ; the next day Sunday
going to a little country church, she
remained during the intermission be
tween the morning and evening services.
The neighbors, who had come from
a circuit of twenty miles to church,
gathered according to their homely
habit, in the churchyard, to eat their
lunch and exchange the news. Our
dreamer told her story again and again,
for she was impressed by it as if it had
been reality. After the afternoon service
the congregation separated, going to
their widely-scattered homes. There
were thus many witnesses ready to cer
tify to the fact that the woman had told
the dream the morning after the murder
was committed at a distance of forty
miles, when it was absolutely impossi
ble that the news should have reached
her. There were no telegraphs, we
must remember, and no railways, those
days not even mall carriers in those
secluded districts.
When the story of the giro's disap
pearance was told over the country at
the end of the next week, the people to
whom the dream had been repeated
recalled it. Now-a-days the matter
would only serve as good material for
the reporters, but the men of those days
still believed that God took an oversight
even of their dreams. Might this not
bealilnt.froniHim. The Rev. Charles
Wheeler, a Baptist clergyman of Wash
ington, well-known in Western Penn
sylvania and Virginia a generation ago,
and Ephralm Blaine, Esq., a magistrate,
father of the present Senator from
Maine, and as popular a man in his
narrow circle, drove over to see the
woman who had told the dream. With
out stating their purpose, they took her
and her huaband.on pretence of business
to the Plymlre farm. It wag the first
time in her life that she bad left her own
country, and she was greatly amused
and interested. They drove over the
whole road down which Rachel Plymlre
had gone.
"Have you ever seen this neighbor
hood P" one of them asked.
"Never," Bhe replied.
That ended the matter, and they turn,
ed back, taking a little-used cross-road
to save time. Presently the woman
started up in great agitation, crying,
"this Is the place I dreamed of I" They
assured her that Itachel Plymlre had not
been upon that road at all. " I know
nothing about her," she said, "but the
girl I saw in my dream came along
here ; there Is the path through which
the man came, and beyond that turning
you will find the log on which he killed
her." They did find the log and on the
ground the stains of blood. The woman
walking swiftly, led them to the old
mill and to the board under which lay
the stained clothes "and the hatchet.
The girl's body was found afterward,
burled by a creek near at hand. Rachel's
lover had already been arrested on
suspicion. It was hinted that he had
grown tired of the girl, and for many
reasons found her hard to shake off.
The woman recognized him in a crowd
of other men, and startled her compan
ions still more by pointing out another
young fellow from the. West as his
companion In her dream. The young
man was tried in the town of Washing
ton for murder. The dreamer was
brought into court, aud an effort was
actually made to put her on the witness
stand, but even then men could not be
hung on the evidence of a dream. With
out it there was not enough proof for
conviction, and the jury, unwillingly
enough we may be sure, allowed the
prisoner to escape. It was held as a
positive proof of his guilt that he imme
diately married the sister of the other
accused man and removed to Ohio, then
the. wilderness of the West.
A Baby Elephant.
A verv Interesting event the birth of
a baby elephant took place at the cir
cus stables of Cooper & Bailey, Phila
delphia, early in the morning of March
10. The importance of the affair to the
world of science will be realized when
it Is stated that it is the first authenti
cated instance of the kind that has ever
taken place among these animals in a
state of captivity. It is said that a sim
ilar event occurred in London some time
during the last century, but there is no
positive proof In regard to it.
At the sides of the stable-room where
this little creature was born were a num
ber of large elephants chained to posts,
while Hebe, the mother, was chained in
the centre of the room, where she was
safe from molestation. The moment
the baby was born, the other elephants
set up a tremendous bellowing, threw
their trunks about, wheeled around,
stood on their hind-legs, and cavorted
and danced in the highest glee, as
though they had gone mad. The ex
citement communicated itself to Hebe,
and she became almost frantic With a
terrific plunge she broke the chains and
ropes which held her, and . grasping up
the little baby elephant with her trunk,
threw it about twenty yaida across the
room, letting it fall near a large hot
Btove where a fire is always kept burn
ingthen followed with a mad rush,
bellowing and lashing her trunk as
though she would carry everything be.
fore her.
The keeper, who was on watch alone,
fled for his life, and not a moment too
soon. Around the stove was a stout
timber railing, against which Hebe
charged with such effect that ehe re
duced it to kindling-wood in short order.
Not stopping here, she struck the stove,
and knocked it into the position of the
Leaning Tower of Pisa in an instant,
and badly smashed the pipe. The keep
er meantime had given the alarm, and
three or four others coming to his as
sistance, the animal was, after some
trouble, secured and chained to the post
again.
The other elephants meanwhile kept
bellowing and lashing their trunks, as
if to welcome the little stranger. At
tendants gently led it back to the moth
er, and the keepers and others who had
been attracted by the unusual commo
tion at once became interested in nurs
ing it. It would run about with its
mouth open, very much like a young
colt. The old elephant would not stand
still long enough to suckle It, being con
stantly swaying about, so the keepers
hit on the happy expedient of procuring
a funnel, and a rubber tube about a yard
in length. Inserting one end of the
tube in the baby's mouth, they fed it by
milking into the, funnel at the other
end, the little new-comer taken its sus
tenance with a relish, until it declared
it could take no more by promptly jerk
ing its mouth away. Later in the day,
however, the baby proceeded to feed
itself by the natural source provided for
it. Throwing back its trunk, the baby
applied its mouth to the mother's breast,
and fed itself in a perfectly natural and
easy manner. Writers of to-day have
held that the young elephant uses its
trunk in the process of suckling, while
ancient writings were directly to the
contrary. The early statements have
been thus proved to be correot.
The baby elephant Is' a female. She
is a queer looking little animal, not
much larger than a New-foundland dog,
with a very diminutive specimen of a
trunk, and with a disposition to run at
things blindly like a young colt. She
stands 85 inches high, measures 8 feet
11 Inches around the body, and weighs
218 pounds.
Hebe, the mother, is twenty sears old,
and weighs 8000 pounds. She is one of
the five brought to this country from
Ceylon in 1805. The father of the in
fant is called Mandrle. He is three
years older than Hebe, and come with
her to this country. The mother is very
affectionate towards her offspring, and
inclined to regard the approach of
strangers with suspicion. At such
times ehe raises a peculiar cry, to which
all the other elephants respond with
great excitement. The keepers say
that if the baby were threatened with
danger, no chains would be strong
enough to hold them, so overwhelming
Is the interest which they manifest in
the little stranger and its mother.
a huhorouTpetition.
THE dignity of the House at Wash
ington was fairly challenged, If not
shocked, ou the 28th ult., by the presen
tation and reading of the Wisconsin
Editors' and Publishers' Association,
asking for the remission of the unjust
and inequitable tariff duties on chemi
cals and Buch other dutiable articles as
enter In on the manufacture of paper,
aud also the repeal of the duty on type.
The memorial was as follows :
Milwaukee, February 20, 1880.
To the Senator and Members of Con
gress :
It becomes'my painful official duty tq
address you a few lines, and if you will
- pay attention and allow the ideas herein
advanced to gently enter your several
systems without the aid of a surgical
operation or a shot gun, It will be a cuss
ed Bight more than we have a right to
expect. At the annual meeting of the
Wisconsin Editors' and publishers' As
sociation, held last June . at OBhkoBh,
after the members had been formally ad
mitted to the Insane Asylum, they pass
ed the following whereases and resolu
tions, between free lunches and picnics,
and made me the humble instrument of
torture to bring the aforesaid whereasas
and resolutions to your attention :
WnEREAS, The type foundries of the
United States have formed a combina
tion for the purpose of imposing such
terms and regulations as they choose
upon trade; and
Whereas, They have been and are
using their organization to the great
disadvantage and Injury of their patrons
the printers and publishers of the coun
try ; and
Whereas, The ordinary and perma
nent difficulties in the way of obtaining
type from foreign countries are such as
to afford amnle protection to American
type foundries without the addition of
the safeguard or a tarin ; therefore
Resolved, That the just interests of the
printers and publishers of the United
States require that the tariff on type
metal and type be removed.
Resolved, That the Representatives of
Wisconsin in Congress are urgently re
quested to use tneir influence and ef
forts to secure a speedy abolition of such
tariff.
Now that you have read the resolu
tions it is a Bupposaple case that you
will feel that your next duty is to throw
them into the waste basket. In the
name of 40,000,000 people, be the same
more or less, I ask you not to loose your
cud, but ruminate, as it were, and think
over the highway robbery that is being
practiced upon your unsophisticated
constituents by the tpye founders, who
are foundering the newspapers. As it is
now they stand at the entrance of the
editorial sanctum and take the money
that comes in on subscription, and only
allow the publisher the cord wood and
farm produce. By the protection your
alleged honorable body affords them, in
the way of tariff they grapple the throat
of every newspaper in America, and
say " Keno," while the newspaper pub
lisher can only return his chips to the
dealer and say "O, hell!" Every arti
cle that ia used by the newspaper man,
excepting second hand ulster overcoats
and liver, is protected by a tariff that
makes the cold chills run up his spine.
Another thing that the association
did not pass any resolutions about, but
which they probably will at the next
meeting, if there are enough of them
left outside the poorhouse to meet,before
they meet on that beautiful Bhore, is the
recent action of the manufactures of
paper, who are endeavoring to screw
down the lid of the newspaper coffin
which the type founders are preparing
for the grave. In the last three months
by their own sweet will, they have run
the price of paper up almost a hundred
percent. There is nothing to prevent
them from doing It, as foreign' manufac
tured paper is kept out of the country
by the tariff. Every article that goes
into the construction of rag paper, ex
cept basswood, sweat and water, has a
tariff on It. The soda, the asafcetlda
and blue mass, or whatever la used, has
a corn on it in the shape of a tariff, so
that the paper manufactutlng three card
monte chaps have an excuse to bleed
newspapers to the la9t drop. What the
newspapers want, and they believe it is
not an unreasonable demand, is the re
moval of the tariff on type, on rags, on
paper, and on all chemicals used In the
manufacture of paper.
The newspapers of the country be
lieve they are entitled to some consider
ation at your hands. They are in'
great many instances the instruments
through which many of you have at
tained the positions you now hold, and
they have' never got much from you ex
cept Patent Office reports and agricultu
ral documents. They have set up nights
for you, and have done dirty work that
may bar them out of participation in
the chariot races in the golden streets of
of the New Jerusalem, and now they
demand that you protect them from the
type founding and paper making grass
hoppers before it is everlastingly to
late.
Not being one of the " d d liter
ary fellers," so touchlngly alluded to by
the great Senator, Simon Cameron, this
epistle to you Corinthians may be a lit
tle raw and not polished as It should be,
but it tries to represent the feelings of
the newspaper men of Wisconsin in
language that the wayfaring man,
though a diabolical idiot,can understand
and it means business. If you great
men pass a bill to give us relief, you will
strike it rich, and don't you forget it.
Yours about mad enough,
George W. Peck,
President Wisconsin Editors and Pub-.
Ushers' Association.
SUNDAY REJoIKJ,.
The. Sabbath.
" If Sunday had not been observed as
a day of rest during the last three cen
turies, I have not the smallest doubt
that we should have been at this mo
ment a poorer or less civilized people
than we are." Lord Macauley.
" There is no religion without wor
ship, or no worship without the Sab
bath." Count Montelambert.
" The more faithfully I apply my
self to the duties of the Lord's day the
more happy and successful is my busi
ness during the week," Sir Matthew
Hale.
" A corruption of morals usually fol
lows a profanation of the Sabbath.' '
Blackstone.
" The Sabbath as a political institu
tion is of inestimable value, Independ
ently of its claim to divine authority."
Smith.
" I can truly declare that to me the
Sabbath has beeu invaluable. William
Wilbcrforce.
" Give the world half of Sunday, and
you will find religion has no strong hold
of the other," Scott.
11 Where there Is no Christian Sabbath
there is no Christian morality; and
without this, free institutions cannot
long be sustained." McLean.
" The longer I live the more highly
do I estimate the Christian Sabbath,
and the more grateful do I feel toward
those who impress its importance on
the community." Webster.
In a general order, issued November
15, 1862, President Lincoln commaned
that " Sunday labor in the army and
navy be reduced to the measure of strict
necessity. The discipline and character
of the national forces should not suffer,
nor the cause they defend be imperilled,
by the profanation of the day or name
of the Most High."
" The Sabbath must be observed as a
day of rest. This I do not state as an
opinion but knowing that it has, its
foundation upon a law in man's nature
as fixed as that he must take food or
die." Williard Parker.
" As a day of rest, I view the Sabbath
as a day of compensation for the inade
quate restorative power of the body un
der continued labor and excitement.
One day in seven, by the bounty of
Providence, is thrown in as a day of
compensation to perfect by its repose the
animal system." John Richard Ferre.
With all of Bob Ingersoll'g faults,
he says some good and just things in
moBt eloquent style. For Instance :
Women are more faithful than men.
I never saw a man pursue his wife into
the very ditch of degradation and take
her in his arms. I never saw a man
stand at the shore where she had been
morally wrecked, waiting for the waves
to bring back even the corpse to his
arms; but I have seen women, with her
white arms, lift man from the mire of
degradation and hold him to her bosom
as though he were an angel."
tW No man has such control of his
own being as the man who can say,
" Thy will be done." 1 The man who
can say that in every part of his. life has
found himself, has come to himself ; his
true self, his strong self, his happy self,
and his enduring self.
