LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1877.

SAVED BY A DREAM. | _ Dreams, which are fantastically - strange, at times possess the prescient power. There are many wonderful instances of this on record. The story ~which I will now relate is a case in point. : ¢ : o A good many years ago a farmer, named Silas Austin, living in a rdther wild and thinly populated region, sold out his possessions in the latter part of the winter for two thousand dollars. The deed was duly executed, and the amount paid in specie, with a verbal agreement that he should not be required to remove his family befare the first of the ensuing April. He de--posited the money for safe keeping, in the bed he slept on, and soon after set out on a journey with a view of making another.purchase. “T shall be so lonely with our two little children, Silas!” said his wife; “and then, dear, if anything should happen!” . ) , “Pshaw!” he replied; “what do you fear?? , ; : “I don’t know,” she sighed; “I feel timid ; T fear something will go wreng. I'm somehow afraid I shall never see you again.” “Nonsense, Hannah!” - “And then you know wé have so much money in the house! ‘ “Ay, that’s it!” he returned with a Jaugh. “Poor people walk boldly thro’ the dark place, and sleep soundly with open doors; but the moment they get a little money they become as timid as hares, and think robbers areseeking them everywhere. Now, you see, my dear,” he added, “I’ll be safe, because I shan’t have the money with me; and you because nobody’li know you got it.” ; “There are persons who know you received it and haven’t spent it,” she rejoined. P | “The man that bought the place, of course.” - : : “Yes, and others.” : ~ “Neighbors, perhaps; but ydu don’t fear them, Hannah ?” ; “I don’t know what I fear, Silas; I feel strangely uneasy, and that’s the: truth.”

“Well, my dear,” returned her husband, “this is nothing but a whim; and if I remain at home for a whim we’ll soon be without a place to put our heads in. I must go and seek out, another farm-—-you know the necessity for it as weill as I do; but I'll not be long away, whether I succeed or not—not more than two or three weeks at the most.” .

This decided, Mr. Austin took leave of his wife and children, the latter,two little boys of four and six. He went away, apparently with a light heart, that his wife might not be further depressed; but in reality, as he afterwards confessed, he felt a good deal of secret uneasiness. ‘'This increased, rather than diminished, the further he went, and when he reached the place where he was to take train he found himself so much influenced by a very strange, immysterious dread of evil that it required all his reason to ,support his resolution to continue his journey. Determined not to be turned by a chimerical idea he paid his fare for a hundred miles, and went off on the first train. . On reaching his first destination he went to bed, and being excessively fatigued, almost immediately fell asleep. : ; ' He awoke some time in the midst of the night with a kind of a start, or shock, as if something strange had touched him, and he experiened that peculiar sensation of dread and fear which is sometimes produced by a fearful dream- that cannot be remembered, but which seems to have impressed its disagreeable effect upon the dreamer. For a time, as is often the case when awaking in a strange place, he was quite bewildered, and could not recollect where he was, nor how he came there; but as soon as all became clear to him his mind reverted to his wife and children, and he felt such an indescribable yearning for heme that he half resolved to take the first train back. ! - |

But while pondering on the matter he-gradually fell asleep, and this time dreamed that he saw his own house, dimly shadowed forth In'the thick mysterious gloom of night, and that while he looked upon it such a strange dread of something awful took possession of him that he shuddered as if suspended over some dark abyss. |

° Then he thought something moved him through the air, as a ghost would move without motion -or volition of his own, till he suddenly found himself in the- bedroom of his wife, who was there asleep with the two children. He fancied that he wanted to wake -her and tell her something dreadful was going to happen; but though he tried to go to her, he found he could not stir,and his efforts to call ouf his alarm only resulted in the most agonizing silence. Then he heard the ominous sounds of stealthy feet approach, and he knew that robbers were creeping in upon her—robbersin disguise—robbers with faces painted | black—and- still he could not move, could not seream out, could not awake. and warn his dear wife and children of impending death, P He was in terrible distress; itseem-’ ed as if the very air he breathed was impregnated with crime, which it made thick and stifling, and it choked hé'(t)n. The steps came nearer; they stopped at the door; there was the noise of gentle force being used, and then the door swung slowly back and «disclosed two black faces, looking unearthly and demoniac in the pale, lurid, ghastly light. He thought he ‘knew they looked thus béfore he saw them; but for all that, the sight of them made him shudder and grow faint. = They advanced noiselessly, they drew near the bed.of the innocent sleepers—and, in the next few moments, an eternity of tortures was compressed in the bosom of that fond husband and father, who was compelled to remain motionless and silent and see them prepare to slay all that he had on earth to love. i - They reach the bed —they lean over it—they listen to the breathing of the sleepers—and then their sharp knives gleam aloft with deadly poise. One moment thus—and then, as the knives flashed downward tgzwﬁ% fg&&h one Qli,nﬂie: Wilﬁ;%rgion ged zna ek of woe and terror, and Silas Austin again found himself awake and irem. bling, and covered all over with “wihank Heaven!” he murmured, at t )_/ nK .", oAy ,( \ T .i,»‘!;»\- .

ed him like a spirit; he felt, as he afs terwards expressed it, as if the hand of heaven was turning him homeswards. - _ Lo The next morning, as soon as any one was astir, he dressed himself and went out: At the earliest possible moment he purchased a brace of pistols, powder an%balls, loaded his weapons, putting two bullets ig each, secured them about his person, and took the first train back to his home. o His return was a happy surprise to bis 'wife; but when she found he staggered into her arms, and then sank down pale and speechless on the near= est seat, she became alarmed. “There -is nothing the matter with me, my dear Hannah, except fatigu from my long hard ride,” he said, “but are you sure you are all well here?” ““Oh, yes Silas, very sure.” ] “Heavens be praised!” he rejoined “for I'veé had too such painful dreams about you that I was almost afraid to come home.” L ; What with talking .and eating, for he had scarcely tasted a morse] ;ghréfg the day, it was past.one o’clock t;guan he retired to rest. e had just begun to fall to sleep when he heard a light, rasping sound. :

At first he took no notice of it, but when 1t at length ceased entirely, and was -soon after followed by a noise like the slow and gradual rising of a window, the truth suddenly flashed upon him, and his whole nervous system received a heavy shock. =

“He sprang up in bed, wide awake, with a feeling of sudden terror, not unlike what he had experienced in his dreams. He listened intently. The sound of the raising window had ceased, and he fancied he heard some one crawling through it, and speaking to some ong else in a guarded whisper. Then it was he heard the stealthy steps as in his dream, the same gentle forcing back of the door, and to his dismay beheld two human figures with black faces, each with a long gleaming knife in his hand, gliding towards his sleeping wife. ' ~ Suddenly, with a pistolin each hand, the apparition of the husband rose up before their astonished gaze, the last earthly sight they were to look upon. Before they had time to recover there was a bright flash, a crashing report, and both came heavily to the floor,. with two bullets lodged in the breast of each. - We pass over the wild; fearful scene that followed as the wife and children gprang up with screams of terror. In ten minutes both robbers were.dead. On washing: the paint from their faces, they proved to be Mr. Austin’s, neighbors, who had come to kill hig wife-and children, and get the money that they believed was in thedwelling. He had been warned by a dream, his family saved, and the villains punished. :

The True Remedy—Go 1o Farming. Indianapolis Journal,

The Cincinnati = 7Z%mies coincides with the views recently expressed by the Journal, to the effect that the ultimate solution of the labor question lies in furnishing profitable' employment to the unemployed in cultivating the soil. The 7imes says: . *We must face the situation, and confess that the amount of labor, skilled and unskilled, is in excess of the demand. But one remedy is visible—and that the best of remedies, and which our country affords ihe best of opportunities for. The excess of labor must reéognize the futility of demanding work from others—it must work for, and produce for, itself. It must turn to tilling the soil, which, in our country, renders a better retnrn for equal labor than do most of the manufacturing pursuits in ordinary times. Our vast domains in the West and South offer, almost for nothing, millions of farms, on which average labor can support a family in prosperity. That is the real solution of the labor problem—the one which is ample to solve it, and will be for a hundred years to come, until the population of this country is more than quadrupled.” Fit e p The Times believes that colonization is the true remedy, and if properly managed it can be done 50 as to make the scheme self-supporting to the capitalists:and others who engage in it, and of incaleulable benefit tothe laborers. It is impossible to estimate the enormous advantage which ‘would inure to the laboring classes and to the country at large if ail the unemployed persons now in the United States could be placed on farms and changed from consumers to producers, from half-starved idlers -to independent and prosperous citizens. Kansas was largely colonized in this way by the efforts of the Massachusetts Colonization Society, and with more extensive organization and effort the work could undoubtedly be accomplished on a larger scale. :

Sauce for the (roose Ought to be Sauce 2 for the Gander. . Harrisburg Patriot, = According to the New York Zimes the southern Congressmen are about unanimous in demanding governmental aid to railroad and ‘steamship ‘enterprisesintended to-accommodate the traflic and travel of their section. The T'imes sounds a loud alarm against the danger of granting subsidies ‘to the schemes in which the southern people are interested and hopes that there ~will be a solid north in opposition to them in Congress. lltis alittle singular that republican journals like the Twvmes should have had so sudden an awakening to the wrongfulness of subsidies to enterprises of the character now brought forward for that kind of aid by southern Congressmen.— When northern projectors of similar ‘schemes appeared before Congress for assistance, magnificent largesses were voted them and it became the policy of the federal government to grant subsidies in land and money.- Undoubtedly the policy is wrong in principle and shonld never have been adepted -except in so far as the transportation of the mails and the transactiop of other public business required. But it _is only natural and reasonable that +the people who have been denied what. they-believe to be the benefits arising from the system should some time de~mand their share of them. The southern people are only asking now that the policy which was adopted “to develop” northern interests may be ex-. tended to their own region. The Z'imes. ~should havesolidified the north against, subsidies at an earlier date.

__Sherman and the Ohio Campaign. New York Sun. ¢ o . Honest John Sherman, who enjoys he peculiar distinction ‘of having entered Congress poor, and become a ‘millionaire upon a salary first of $3,000, and subsequently of $5,000 a year, has gone to Ohio to set up the Dins for the Republican campaign, and to make a speech on the financial guestion, which is intended to be the key note of the canvass. ° o 2 M, Sherman was the author of the act of 1875, professing to pledge resumption of specie payments on the Ist.of January, 1879, without providing any substantial mode of accomplishing that object. It was a political trick concocted in caucus, with a maJority of soft money men, who consented to keep quiet for the time being, and to vote for the bill on condition of receiving material aid to carry the elections in their States, much of which, after the assessnients on the officeholders, was contributed by hard ‘money men of the East. :

5 '.llgte _tgpill was (llriven through the =Senate by a prolonged session, and %ﬁlﬁﬁgﬁl‘. :%%gi_mn' nor his agsociates on the Commiittee of linance would give a word of explanation as to the construction to be placed on various doubtful clauses, affecting the very substance of resumption. In the House of Representatives the previous question was applied, and no debate was permitted. So that a measure which touched the whole business of the country in its most sensitive nerve, and which required the utmost deliberation, free from all party spirit, was in forty-eight hours railroaded through a Republican Congress. . . It has been a disturbing element ever since, and especially since Mr. Sherman’s entrance into the Treasury. Mr., Bristow frankly admitted that the machinery of the law was wholly inadeyuate to its execution, if specie payment was really intended, about which he had great misgivings. Therefore-he made no attempt to carry it into effect, but he and the President both recommended additional legislation, which, of ' course, was never granted, as the thing was a sham and a fraud from the start. .

As the representative of a class interest of bondholders and banks, Mr. Sherman has managed the Tfeasury to serve them chiefly, without reference to general business, so that superadded to the depression of all forms of industry, enterprise, and trade, there is the dead weight of a hard and selfish policy, which manifests no sympathy with the almost universal distress, and, like a closefisted shaver, demands the pound of flesh as the penalty of the bond. .It was -recently announced from Washington that all officeholders were prohibited from taking part in elections, and members of political committees were required either to resign their effices or their counection with national or State organizations. That iwas imimediately followed by:a technical ehange in the State associations at Washingten, which number several thousand active politicians; so that right under the eye of the Fraudulent President, and at the suggestion of members of his Cabinet, this organized body of offlcials is maintained in all its vigor. . s

Thus Mr. Sherman at the head of the Treasury, with its enormous patronage and notorious corruption running through the various branches of customs, internal revenue,lighthouses, revenue marine, engraving and printing, and the like, abandons his pos. and starts out for a month’s campaign in’/Ohio, to illustrate the beauties of civil service reform, and to sef an example to the thousands of subordinates at Washington and all over the country, who look up.to him for instruction. ; ;

Why Starvation Wages are Neces- : sary. 7 New York Bulietin, It is said, on the one hand, that the railroads have been paying more than they can afford, and that the reduction of wages was necessary and justifiable. This is partly true and partly false. So far as the Baltimore & Ohio road is concerned, its large dividends and abundant surplus’give the lie to the assertion that the reduction was necessary. The New York Central and the Erie are types of two other, large classes] of roads whose histories deserve attention. The Central is trying to pay dividends upon millions of stock which represents no real capital. The creation of $50,000,600 of New York Central stock out of nothing, by the ;word of Commodore ' Vanderbilt, *underlies the present trouble on that road. The laborers deserve living wages before the holders of this watered stock receive dividends. It is the attempt to pay dividends on this .water that makes “starvation” wages necessary. The Erie road is of another class. It is hopelessly - bankrupt, but its bankruptey is due, not to high wages paid to employes, but the fact that for years it was plundered by a gang of thieves, not more reputable, even with their wealth, than the mob which has wrought such havoc the past week. The corporation is trying toearn dividends on money which long ago was stolen by these thieves. It oughtmnot to succeed, and probably cannot in'the end. These two corporations represent, in a greater or less degree, many of -the great roads of the country, trying to earn dividends on watered stock, or on capital long ago stolen. This fact in no way justifies or palliates riots, but cannot be left out of sight in considering the future.

Fluetuating currency. Lagrange Standard. : : : Did you ever think of it, that a fluctuating and uncertain currency gerved the rich man better than the poor? Before the rebellion a millionaire was a curiosity and a wonder among men. They were exceedingly few. Now it takes fifty millions to excite much surprise, and the fifty million men are quite as numerousas the gingle million mén were before the exciusive paper monéy era. Gold gambling was wholly an institution of ‘a paper money inflation period. Stock gambling grew mightily under its influence. When money contains within' itself elements of speculation, monied men reap the profits of the speculation. A stable and sound cur« rency is more to the poor man's interest than to the rich. The precious ‘coins, gold and silver, furnish the only ‘sure basis for a safe currency for the _poor man. Paper money, conyvertible into gﬁw&ﬁm o ae:t:f:i.;@nlmhiw.v ‘may be added as long as it can mainfaln sult value.

Cox, late receiver of the ‘Wabash railroad, has just .submitted his final report of the operations and management of the road during his receivership. In concluding his report, he says: oo | “The business of the past two years has demonstrated the fact that the fast freight lines—whether those formed by the partnership of the railways in the cars, etc., used upon them, or those which are independent jointstock companies—cost the railway entirely too much to be paid for by any benefits received. The cars owned by the company and kept on its own line in general freight business, haymi made to earn each over one thousand dollars per annum, whilst the cars of the fast freight lines have only earned about five hundred. This business could have been done quite as well had the trunk lines been willing t 6 co-operaté in a simple but effective business interchange of freights without the cumbersome -und expensive organization of the fast freight lines and their disproportionate amount of rolling stock when compared to ‘ earnings. These lines are an incubus upon the railway system of the country, which sooner or later must begotten rid of. Their agents,by constantly competing with each other, Jave been a chief cause of the ruinous reduction in rates, and as several Such’ lines- run over almost every railway, no matter which agent secures the traflic, the “cut” in the rate is at the expense of the road. Practical experience has demonstrated that the freight department of any railway can exert no efficient control over these agents.” : S e What is true of the Wabash railway is doubtless true of all, and the foregoing may be taken as a correct statement of the operation-of the fast, freight line business. Mr. Cox says they cost ihe railway entirely too much to Dbe paid for by any benefits received, and in proof of this assextion says the freight cars owned and run by the company on its own line have earued for it over one thousand dollars each per annum, while the cars of the fast freight lines have earned for it only about five hundred dollars, and he adds that the business could all have been done without theintervention of the fast freight lines if the trunk lines-had been willing to make a fair business arrangement. He is furthermore of the opinion that the agents of these various lines, by their reckless competition, are mainly responsible for the ruinous reduction of rates, which in turn is thechief causeof the meager earning of the roads and their inability to pay their employes better wages. His conclusion is that the fast freight lines are an incubus on the railway system of the country which, sooner or later, must be gotten rid of. This is valuable testimony in regard to fast freight lines, ‘and coming from arailroad man who has no interest in misrepresenting the facts, will command wide attention. -

Prairie Chickens. To the Eaitors of the South Bend Tribune: | Under the new game law of this state it is unlawful to Kkill prairie chickens before the Ist day of October. It is difficult to secure a convietion under this law, and consequently chickens are being Kkilled even now when it would have been -unlawful under the former law. The objection to the close of the season for chickens being extended to October Ist are undoubtedly well taken.. No other state in the union protects them later than September Ist, and as a géneral thing August 15th was made the date for the expiration of the close season. But while all this is good ground for getting the law repealed as soon as possible, it is no excuse for the violation. Thespirit of hoggishness which is now prevailing can be put down by law-abiding land owners. There is a section in the law which a land owner, théugh hardly justifiable, by reason of its hardness, in enforcing against every one violating its provisions, should enforce against every one violating the game laws. I refer to the law which makes it unlawful for any one to go upon the land of another with a dog or gun, without permission’ of the owner, and fixes the penalty at fifty dollars. If a land owner knows' that certain persons are killing chickens on his land out of season and is unable to fix the guilt on any one of them, let him enforce the fifty-dollar penalty against every ene of the party, unless they come forward, plead guilty to a violation of the game law and pay for their fun. If any one is of the opinion that a higher court would refuse to enforce such a law, let him carry the case up. Whatever the final result ‘'may be, he will find his unlawfully killed chickens very high-priced meat. . Law.

German Magnanimty. Extract from SenatorConklir é's receptibn speech. Passing from London fo Paris one thing struck me of which you: will gladly be reminded. That is the magnanimity of Germany and Germans. ‘This is sufficiently illustrated by the palaces and parks of Versailles. .Splendid ‘as they are in treasures of artcaptured from half the peoples of Europe, they were among the places occupied by the armies of Germany in theFran-co-Prussian war. It was, you remember, in the great hall-room of the chief palace that King William was crown‘ed Emperor, and his soldiers were quartered everywhere.” But lawlessness or resentment laid no hand on the place. No rough sense of justice said, “These grand eémbellishments came here as spoils and trophies, and as spoils and trophies we will take them away.” Everything was left and restored untouched, and the residents of the neighborhood, bitter as they are, confessed that the Germans paid for all they consumed, one man adding that they paid double prices, too. Versailles''is perhaps the most magnificent possession of France, but it is also a majestic monument of the grandeur and forbearance of victorious Germany. I rejoiced to look on its preservation, not alone for the credit it does to humanity, but for the honor it reflects on that great body of our own citizens who came from the land of the Rhine. : Sy Tl

Recent events have shown the value of military training among the citizens of a republic, and it is now generally conceded that the State should make some provision of this kind. It cannot do it more cheaply or appropriately than by introducing the military drill into the high schools, and we believe this would be generally approved. Besides ‘being fine physical exercise it would give the students at the'high schools a knowledge of niilitary training which might become of great vammme—gwm%memm r T SUINE future emergency.—lnd.

THE Indianapolis Journar says: In England all railroads are held strictly to the position and duties of common carriers, and not-permitted to engage in any other business, as mining or anything of that sort." This makes it much easier to define their relations to the public, and furnishes a simple basis for the adjustment of disputed points. -Such a thing as a fast-freight line is unknown in England, and the roads are required to treat all shippers alike and with even-handed justice.

The Pennsylvania Miners Preparing - .+ _fora Long Strike. @ Scranton Special to the Philadelphia Times, | . The miners are yigorously preparing for a long strike, Experiegep has taught them that to aﬁ:ieve_ -any success in a strike they must be able to make it last for a time, and in order to do that they must see that theé more destitute of their numbers have their pressing wants supplied. 'With this aim in view the miners of Hyde Park have opened an extensive store, which - is splendidly supplied with flour, potatoes, corn and vegetables of all * Kinds.” The sympathies of the gnerg;** chants and farmers. are with them and they not only give their gympa--thies but their substantial support. Fifteen teams have been placed at their disposal by the business men for the purpose of distributing and collecting supplies, and these are kepf: & busily at work by ‘gangs of trust- _ worthy men, who continue to keep.the - supply store a well stocked ﬁl”%eg&xﬂ? which free-handed bounty admfnﬁteﬁg unspairingly 'to the poor. Some of = the farmers in the neighborhood have gquted 'whoga p’gghes ’of,;.rpot%t&fs. lﬁ the cause: and - they are dug up and conveyed to the hive, and in fim%?gﬁ“@-‘ stances men go and work in-the country and take. their pay in ‘pbtatoes, corn and provisions of any kind. A committee has been appointed to seek out the:homes of those in want, and in a short time a well-filled wagon follows with a plentiful supply of the necessaries of life. The men are all temperate, orderly, peaceable and intelligent. = The Communistic spirit ‘has no place in their hearts, and their ° only aim in the presen} struggleis to seek to obtain something like a just: remuneration for:their perilous toil. The dangers of the mine form no in- - considerable feature of the hardships with which the miner’s lot is fraught, yet this' is an item invariably over- . looked in calculating the cost of ‘mining. The grim record of 'this small district alone for the past month, as shown.by the report of Mine Inspector Jones, tells us that seven men have been killed and twenty-eight badly injured in the mines, and thisis but a fair specimen -of the monthly average of men killed and maimed at the work of “digging dusky diamonds” in this vicinity. : s .

3G About Correct. Lagrange Standard, . = . ; ! “Demand and supply” ‘is the acknowledged regulation of prices for almost all commodities in general use, labor included. This is true only in a general sense, and in the long run. Other circumstances modify prices at times. ‘A corner on wheat will greatly change the price of wheat from what it is, by the demand aud supply standard. .So” avaricé and inordinate gain on the part of capitalists, may depress prices for labor far below this general law rule, or wild speculation advance prices above it. To remedy the complaints of unrequited labor, there is more to enquire into, than the character and quantity of demand and the character and quantity of supply. Greed, inordinate ambition, avarice, and downright cussedness are factors in the problem. ‘These can oppress prices for a season, but‘a revulsion is almost sure to come, the general law asserts its sway, and its violaters lose ' more than they gain. The laborer is worthy of his hire.. The hire, we take it, i that price the commodity or labor would command under the natural law of demand and supply, uninfluenced by wrong on the part of man.
