A DREAM. The early moonllaht. faint and peci.. KeUtu white int serosa her bed. And turne A to gems on lash andcheek The tears that ha t but now bwn shed , . ileep, coining with the shadows, brought Ä slow relief from grievous thought. It lulled the present sharp distress, The sense of loss too bard to bear. Trie haunting thought of loneliness. The Imminence ot untried care. Hho lost rememb-ance of the pain That dawn would sorely bring again. She lost the world ; bo tardily, Another consciousness was born. And then she dreamed that she was free, Wanderin bevond her life, for:or ; And soul and body still were wed. Although it seemed that sue was dead. Some mighty power, unseen and stronj. Had cat.t her in an ansrry sea. Äha strove to breast iw billows long; And, 9 she strolled wearily, .She saw a low black line of shore. With lighta upon It, Just before. nd. striving still more urgently, she almost reached the wished for land; Then a great wave rose In the sea, And bore her over rocks and strand ; Ro.led b:vck, and lett her there, alone And helpless In land unknown. . Bui while she lay there, torn and bruised, ud dripping" with the chilly brine, Hh seemed to see, with sense confused, The darkness round about her shine, To fel a touch that charmed all fain Kiom broken frame and weary brain. And one bent near with pitying fa:e, So rave, so gtntle, and so sw tet. f full of promise and of grace, Shesmlied, while lying at His f-et aI homesick chillren.hoine on:e more, r orset the grief that came before. He led her to the inner land The night was hard beset by day -Bbe was content to hold His hand. (It seemed there were no word to say. Ifa-cause she understood so well Whatever there could be to tell,) Khe saw the place was glad and bright. With welcome strangeness heaven iraugni, .she had not known It by the sight. And ytlt was not new to thought; All happy living things were there. Kenned, to suit a finer air. A little bird flew from above And soitly lit upon her head ; She knew il for a petted dove hue loved in childhood, long since dead; The Christ smiled, as she spoke its name. And said, We kept It till you came." And there were flowers and trees and skyAll wraiths of olden memory: Each tiny detail, far and nigh. With some past beauty did agree. The Christ said, " See! they are the same; We kept teem for you till you came. Then suddenly Bhe heard a voice Lite some dear well remembered song ; It made her very heart rejoice . At comfort it had wanlei long. he knew, ere sight could satisfy. lie siie had mourned for stood close by. Ataln her radiant Leader smiledThe smile 'old more than words could say ; -"You needed not to mourn, my chi d, For God keeps all he takes away." Agiin lie said, "Ibey are the same; lie Kept them for you till you came. Then lived a Joy that naught can tell ; Delishttbat filled infinity; love, "with no former parallel. And utter peace that heaven made free, But, breaking through this glimpse of grace, A manner seemed to All the place. The vision faded, passed away, nd left the darkness blank and old; Mie saw the light of dawning dayFar In t he east. The air wa cold ; The cook's shrill warning of the sun Told of another day begun.

A "Boatman" eends the following to the St. Louis Democrat: "it's a glorious aeatn to die a trying," was uttered by a Western boatman, eta who dared as much as many whose names have become immortal. John Johnson was only a keel-boatman, born in Gile3 county, Tenn. Poterty and inclina tion drove him to keel-boating. During the spring of 1373 he and tha writer of this sketch were engaged in keel-boatinz on the Big Black river. About the last ot May thö boating season ended, and we were preparing to start for Tennessee river, when the steamer Ben. S'uerrod came down and landed at (J rand Gulf. We went on ber, as we knew all bands, and she was to return to the Tennessee. While we were in New Orleans we hired as deck-bands on her. We bad but one trunk in common, in which were d3posited our earninsv some 5200, and our clothing, The Bon. fcJherrod left New " Orleans with over 400 passengers, and proceeded on her trip. Woodirg m Raccauusee bend, we took ou lorty cords oi dry wuiow wood. This was piled lu the usual way, along hide acd close to the boilers. Johnston acd I went off watch at 12 o'clock at ni'ht, and lay out on tho guard, as the ln-iideof the boat, was very warm. Abjutl o'clock we were aroused by the cry of fire, and lound the smoke sunocatlug. in a few seconds the after cuards were crowded with deck passengers, and ia a few minutes the flames burst through the roof, and we saw that the pilot had lost all control ot the boat and she was circling around. Occasionally as the boat swung round near the shore, passengers would jump overboard, ana very soon ice lower guard was comparatively empty. A passenger on the upper guard swunetwo Children, about four and six years old, down by the arms, and begged, for God's sake, for some one to tatte tnem wniie ce wen uacK f0r Dja wu0 and youngest child. Johnston took them. The father went back and never returned. I began to consider that it was about time to get away, and eala to Johnston, "Let us get our trunk away and save it." His answer was, "Save the devil! If we save anything, it must be tne children." I replied that I did not believe we could, but thought it might be fatal to us. He said, with an oath, "It will be a glorious death to die a-trvlcc." We did try. and succeeded. Since then I have seen, beard and read of heroes, but never oi any more genuine act of heroism than that periormed by John Johnston on the night of the burning of the B9n. Sberroi. Over 250 lives were lost. This actsUnds out in grandeur when it is recollected that he was sacrificing all his wordly wealth. LIN'COLN'3 ASSASSINATION. THE DEATH OF ONES OF THE CONSPIRATORS THE FATE OF THE OTHERS. The Port Tobacco (Md.) Independent an nounces that Edward Spangler died at the residence of Dr. Samuäl A. Mudd, near Bryantown, in Charles county, Maryland, on Sunday night last. It will be remem bered that Spangler was onecf the parties arrested with Here Id, Atzerott, Payne, O'Laughlin, Arnold,' Dr. Mudd and Mrs Surratt and tried by military commission for the assassination conspiracy, which resulted in the murder of President Lincoln ia April, 1SS5. Booth, the leader of the con spiracy, was killed in an attempt to capture him; Ilerold, Payne, Atzerott and Mrs. Surratt were executed In the yard of the old penitentiary building on the 7t h day of July, 18Ö5; Dr. Mudd, Arnold and O'Laughlin were heutenced to th Dry Tortua lor lite, and Spanier for six years' imprsoninent and labor at the same pjace. O'Lauiihliti died at the Dry Tortugas during a yellow fever epidemic, and about the close of President Johnson's administration Mudd, Sprangler and ' Arnold were pardoned, the petition for the clemency oi the president being signed by the officers and men stationed at the Dry Tortugas, a number of whom were attended by Dr. Mudd, and nursed by the prisoners mentioned through the fever. Dr. Mudd, on returning to Maryland, took up his residence on his farm, where he has continued to reside. Sam Arnold returned to Baltimore, as did Spangler. The latter, about two years since, took up his residence with Dr. Mudd, between whom and Spangler great friendship existed. Spangler was a native of Pennsylvania, but karned his trade of carpeuter in Baltimore, where he worked for many years under Mr. James Giö'ord, a master builder. Mr. Gifford, on taking the position of stage carpenter Ford's Theater, employed Mr. Spantler as an assistant. SpaDgler was rather a strut built man, and was about fifty five years old when he died. It was alleged that be took charge of the horsa of Booth on the night of the assassination, but turned the auimal over to 'Peanut John" to hold, and a s jtnat he hfd arranged with Booth to have a way kept open ia the theater forLim to escspe.

Mcdonald on the presidency. HIS OPINT0KS OF GRANT'S CHANCES FOB A THIRD TERM VIEWS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION HENDRICKS AND GORDON FOR 1876 "WOULD SWEEP THE COUNTRY." The correspondent of the Courier-Journal, in this city, gives the following interview with Senator-elect Joseph E. McDonald, in that paper ot the 1st Inst.: "Senator McDonald," 1 asked, "do yon think that Grant la playing for a third term?" "Most undoubtedly he is, and has been for a year. All his actions go to show that, es -a lata ,nnva tr. rennina KmnVa j " w ' as governor of Arkansas. His idea is to rally the carpet-bag forces, and with bis present army of cffica-bolderä ha Lopes to ride Into power." "Do you think he has any show, even if he eets the nomination! "No, sir, I do not. IIa will not be ab!e to carry lour states in the North. The people will eufler the written constitution to be violated, and all othrr written laws, but they will never go back on tradition. Public sentiment North and South is now overwhelmingly against Graut, and it will be stronger against him two years from now, or by the next election. He may play his cards well lor a third term, but hs can rot win. leu hear republicans say every day that they will never vote for Grant for the third term. Some of these men may, and no doubt will, but yet their remarks show that there is a strong public sentiment against the third term policy. Men will never go back on their traditions." 'But suppose that Grant sets up a civil war by his iulamous and overbearing acts; what then?" "He will not do that. He dare not do that. He may intimidate, bluster and rrfake believe that he is going to get up strife to lrighten the people into the support of his measures, but that ii as far as he will go. When he gets to the point where there is danger of war he will haul in his sails. There is a certain point to which Grant can go, and wceu he reaches that point he will subside. I have no fears of another war in this country, no matter what Grant may do. The South is too conservative, patient and heroic, and will stand the most obnoxious and oppressive laws before it will take up arms again, for they know that in 187G the democratic party will come again in power, and that they will have all the rights they are entitled to the rights guaranteed to them under the constitution, and enjoyed by the people of the Northern states. The passage ot the crvir. itiqHTS bill. will affect them hut $ttle, as you nave al ready seen, as that till Is virtually passed. The dominant party haye 'forced, that meas ure upon them moi,for the purpose ol creating Ill-feeling and bloodshed than for any love they have for the colored race or any care they have for their interests. In this civil rights bill they havo been so far sorely disappointed, for they already see that the people of the South are not going to allow tne bill to disturb their relations with the colod people. And you will find th.it in a ver i iw state will the colored man at tempt to exercise tho right given biru by that instrument." "Is there not danger of some of the demo crats making fools ol themselves in the next concre8s?" 'Yes, there is great danger of that, as we have such a large majority and our men have not been in power for so long, and the majority are inexperienced. It would have beeu better if our majority wa3 smaller than it is. I am sorry Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, will not be there, lie is an able man and sate leader. Mr. Niclack will also be greatly missed. With such men as Beck and Niblack, Kerr and llolman. Indiana would be wtll represented. However, we have a few good and sate men in the next House, and hope forthebest. A faw young, impulsive and inexperienced democrats may talk rashlv and wildly about some thites. but they will be held down by older and wiser heads." THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. now long, senator .McDonald, do you think It will be belore politics assume a shape so that we can speculate upon the probable democratic 'comineo far presidency next year?" 'It will not Pe long. Already the matter is being extensively canvassed. I am satisfied that the nominee this time, to be successful, must come from the West. We cafi not elect a man from the North, lor the West is tired of voting lor extreme Eastern men. The last three presidential democratic nominations haye bt-eu from New York McClellan, Seymour and Greeley. The next time we must have a Western man." "Who do you think that m ill be?" " It is hard to tell. I think the duty ot Indiana is plain. It should bring out Mr. Hendricks and earnestly press bis claims. Kentucky ought to go with Indiana for Mr. Hendricks, and I think Southern Ohio will. The South will support Mr. Hendricks I think." Won't Uncle Billy Alleurun?" "I don't think he will. He oughtcot to. It Ohio has a man it will be Senator Thurrnan." Ought the vice president to come from the North?" "Yes, I thick to. Bat then it does not make much difference. If he were a Southern man he wouldn't have to be a very conservative one. Gordon would not be a bad select". in. We could not afford to take a man less conservative than Gordon." "Hendricks and Gordon would be a strong ticket." 'That ticket, sir. would sweep the country." "Senator, the people In the southern por

lion of our state, and throughout tho entire

boutn, are vitally interested In the TEX 13 PACIFIC RAILROAD. What are your views on that project?" 'While I am opposed to ail subsidies, 1 1 would like to see that project successful, as 1 I know it is of vast iniDortanco to the Deo- I pie of the entire South. I voted in congress ! thirty-four years ago,aid for the Pacific railroad." "What do you think of the conduct of Grant in the Louisiana and Arkansas af fairs?" "Grant has played the usurper In both states. Ilia acts were revolutionary in the .. "What effect will the passaee of what is known as tne bayonet bill have?" "That Is to tell, as it depends altoeethe: on how much of the authority yested In Grant by the bill be will use. The suapension oi tne wni oi naueas comas is at anv time dangerous to the liberties of the people. "i suppose that the president has called the extra nession of congress solely to attend to executive Business. "Ijadse that is all." "1 believe I have no more questions to ask you, and I thank you for those you have bo kindly answered." "You are very welcome, fori will be clad any time to extend you or the able paper you represent any favor." 4,V ell, eood-bye. I wish you a rleasant trip to Washington." "lhank you. Good-bye." BRIG HAM YOÜNQ. AN UNPLEASANTNESS WITH AN APOSTLE NOT VEST GALLANT TO AN WIFE. OUTRAGED The Salt Lake Tribune, a newspaper not especially friendly to the Mormons, has the two subjoined incidents in regard to the late dolnga of Brigham Young: A short time before the materialized prophet left St, George, a little unpleasantness occurred be tween himself and his first lick-spittle, George A. Smith. A Tribune correspondent witnessed it, and gives the facta M nearly I as he caa recollect them. One of the prophet's sons, llvine in Southern Utah, called on him with a pftifu) story, and anpeaieu to mm ior aiu. ins son noids the pos ition of president In the Order of Enoch in one of the lower stakes ot Zion, and bavins stolen the rotten concern blind, lnipover-j isbed the people end squandered their means, he asked tbe old man to help him to more rands, stating tna; Enoch was busted, and money, slock acd everything else bad gone to the dogs. His story was listened to, and after be bad done the late B. Y. turned him over to George A. Smith, who was titting in tbe room at the time. George alo listened to the tale of woo, but informed the royal heir he couldn't get any money out ot him or täe Church ot Jesus Christ he hsd already squandered fortunes, the treasury wa already depleted, and there was nothing coming in, either through tithinjr or otner sources, and be would not give the young man a penny. This' caused the 111 A propne& iaiM 10 rise ana dm cv.r stood up like the quins on the iretfpl porcupine. isaia oe, "I'VE WASHED DISHES long enouh for this people, and it's coming to a pretty pass, when my oons are refused money by the trustoe-in-trust ol this church.

Georiio A. pickyJ it up quietly, saving: "Here, Brother Brigham, take your old hat; you may nave iurtner use for it." And so ended the battle. The wealthy head of the Mormon church In Utah has about as effec tive way of ridding himself of obnoxous wives, as that of Heury the Eighth, o' Eng land, albeit it u not quite so summary Starvation is Brigham's favorite mode of ter minating his polygamous entanglements; the slow, agonizing and certain method of rxrardering the poor slaves of whose faded charms be so readily tires.

A QUEER PROPOSITION TO SECURE THE PERPETUATION OF TIIK FAMILY NAME THE ONE RAISING THE GREATEST NUMBER OF CHILDREN TO HAVE A FORTUNE.

A RIMIMSCENCE OF COL, ECJTrOF TUB FEN-i" 8TLVAKI A RAILROAD HB DOESN'T FOR' GET HIS FRIENDS. Tf.e reoria(HL) Democrat gives thefel lowing etory connected with the early life of Col. Tom Soott: Speakiug of Mr. Scott, calls to mind an incident in regard to him which we do not remember ever to have s?en in print. Years ago, the great railroad king, who to-dny has more real power than the Queen of England, was an awkward boy in Adams county, Pennsylvania, tbe great peach growing section of which the historic borough of Gettysburg is the cen ter. When about blteen or sixteen years old, Scots ootained the position or clerk in the store ot Mr. Arnold, a well known citlz?n of Gettysburg who, with his esti mable lady, was living a few years ago, Tue store was like a great many others in Pennsylvania couutry towns, and from its counteis almost every article ot household uv was sold to customers. Ready made clothing and clothes for men's wear, were made a specialty, however, and the future millionaire wa3 for several years engaged in pursuading tho Adams county farmers that "that coat nt3 like tne paper on tne wall." Mr. Arnold soon left most of the business ol the store in "Tommy's" hands, and to occupy his own time in establishing a savings bank, which for many years was an institution ot that quiet town. Possibly Scott obtained from Mr. A. bis first ideas of financial matters. He has proven an apt pupil. Gradually Scott grew into wisdom and literature acd finally, one day, he told bis employer that bethought he was fitted for better things than a clerkship. Mr. Arnold, though sorry to loose him, was an honorable man, and instead of. THROWING OBSTACLES IN HIS PATH gave him every assistance in his power. Scott lefi the quiet borough, therefore, and wS soon in the strife of business in Balti more. Of hissubseouentcareer, almost every one is aware, but to his honor be it spoken, be never forgot Mr. or Mrs. Arnold, but constantly kept them advised of his move ments, aud never failed to express love and reverecce for them. It was in the early "sixties," if I remember aright, that a large box was received at Mr. Arnold's storp, tbe express company being very anxious about its sate delivery. Opening It there was found a beautiful tea service of solid silver onthetravof which there was an inscrip tion something like this, "To my early and faithful friends with the love and respect of Thomas A. Scott, Philadelphia." The worthy couple, as may well be imagined were delighted at this elegant mark of remembrance and esteem, and often pointed with pride to the shining memento of kindness dons long ago. The writer can vouch for the above reminiscence, since more than once be has received, at Mrs, Arnold's hospitable table, a cup of fragrant Souchong, poured from the tea pot in ques tion. Mr. Scott has had many hard things written and spoken against him. We are not sorry to be able to record something to bis credit. IMPORTATION OF COOLIES. KOOFMANSCHAP'S LAST VISIT TO CHINA PRO POSED EXPORTATION OF 10,000 COOLIES FROM CHINA TO BRAZIL. The San Francisco Chronicle of a late dat gives the following concerning a new move ment in the question of imported labor: Cornelius Koopmanschap arrived from China yesterday on the Alaska, having been absent from San Francisco six months. His last Asiatic tour was made as tbe representative of a company in Rio Janeiro, which desires to import Chinese laborers into Brazil. Mr. Koopmanschap looks well after his long yoyage, though the accomplishment of his object is somewhat delayed by unexpected events. His objective point was Canton. The viceroy ol that province, on a former visit, had firomised to assist him in obtaining all the aborers be might wish from that over populated district. On reaching the city he f.mnd the viceroy dead and a temporary ruler in his place. .The new viceroy was not willing to assume any responsibility until a treaty was made, and so Mr. Koopmanschap is Koicjr back to Brazil to see that a formal alliance is concluded between that country and the Cnineso Eaapire. lie will remain in San Francisco about a month before leaving for Kio Janeiro. All necessary preliminary arrangements having been made, b6 will return to China to superintend tbe embarkation of tbe emigrants. lie thinks that after tbe abolition of slavery Brazil will need 100,000 Chinese laborers. Tbey will be employed on the plantations, largely in the cultivation of coffse and

pepper. The work will n-t bo p3j:ally

This will iorm THB FIRST INSTALLMENT. The sending of others will be a matter of after-consideration. The company will be under the special protection of the government of Brazil, which will see that a project which It deems so favorable to the interest of the country, is forwarded in all possible ways. Mr. Koopmanszhap think the government oneht to have come to his assistance in the South and prevented- the loss of his 4,000 coolies. They left hi service, owing him large sums that he had advanced to bring them to America. Two thou-ancl of them were working on ttiAPhutt, and Alabama railroad when they abandoned his society. The rest were scattered on plantations throughout " Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and other Southern states. Thevars now parriro an i,Apendent livinz in Of COUrse S launJrvinr S!nm r , are doing well at cotton-plantidg in Tennessee. The over crowding of theChine$e cituu ine aojacent country I becjtnioft more terrible every year. The diseases tfcat result from huch conditions are increasing in virulence, especially m blindness, and Koopmanschap thinks that outlets for the eurrlun population must be found. Peru, temporarily closed to the Chinese, will soon be open again by treaty, and emigration to that country will recommence. The English in Chinese seaports oppos-e eraicration. as they oppose the plans and Interests of all other nations. A $4 03 BOOK FOR $1 50. The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser. In plain English, or Medicine Simplified, by R. v. Fierce, M. D., connselor-ln-chlef of the Board or Physicians and Surgeons, at tbe World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N.Y. The above work-a book of about 9(H) large pges, profusely illus trated wun wood engravings and colored plate, and well and strcngly bound-will be sent, pest paid, to any addrets for One Dol ar and Fifty Cents making It the cheapest bl& ever oirVred f the American People. Other books treating of domestic medicine, of like size and style of binding, and not nearly as well illustrated, with no colored plates, and Bomeof them containing no preset lpt ions and making known no means or telf-cure- for the diseases which they disccss, stll for from f3 50 to 15. Were Dr. Pierce's work not published by the author, printed and bound with" his own machinery, and were it sold thorough agents, as otuerlike works are, tbe rrice of it would have to be no less than four dollar. For when the publisher pays the author a fair price for his production, then aids a profit to his Investment large enough to satisfy himself and compensate him , not only for his labor, but also for the risk of pecuniary loss which he assumes In taking the chances of the enterprise proving a success. and when the state, county and canvassing agent has each received his proat, they have added le the expense of a book, that originally cost abont 1 25, so much that the people have to pay not less than U for it. The People's Medical Adviser, on the contrary. Is placed within the pecuniary rep.ch cf all classes by the author, who adopts the plan ot the grangers, dispensing with middle men snd giving the benefit of their profits to the people, offeric g his book at a price little above actual cott of publi cation. That those desirins the book may run no risk of losing tteir money iu sending it through tbo mails, the author advertises that money addressed to him at Buffalo, N. Y., and inclosed in registered letters, may be at his risk of loss, 'l he author's large correspondence with the people upon medical matters, which we are credibly informed, frequently txcerds 300 letters a day, and requires several trafrud and skillful medical as infants and short hand re porters to enable him to entertain and answer them, as well as his large dally dealings with disease at the World's Tlspensary, appear to have peculiarly fitted hltn for writing the work, by render! Dg him very familiar with the evtry day medical neels of the people, lie endeavors in this work to answer all the numerous questions relating to health and disease that have been addressed to him by the people from all parts of the land, and hence It contains important Information for the young and old, male and female, single and married, nowhere else to be foond. All the most prevalent diseases or botb sexes are also plainly and folly considered, and means of self-cure made known. Unlike other works on Domestic Medicine, It Includes the subjects of Biology, Cerebral Physiology, Hygiene, Temperaments, Marriage, Re production, etc., all of which are treated in an original and Interesting manner. It is a com pendium of Anatomical, Physiological and Medical Poience, and embodies the latest dis coveries in each dppnr'ment YOU ARE NOT SAFE IN USING- COAL OIL, COAL OIL. Dikd. Nettie Brown .
