There is nearly eight hundred thousand dollars in the Texas State Treasury, Mr. Evan's professional income is es timated at from $75,000 to $100,000 a year. 1 An index to a book is likened to a float and a fisherman and a sign post to a road. The female student, at Swiss universi ties have this year earned off nearly all the honors. Simon Cameron is thus quoted: “ Damn tight,close race; and the Devil only knows who’ll win.” It is said llayes has not yet (aid the two per cent, assessment on liis salary.— They keep nagging him. The Somerville Journal makes It out that the eagle is the aristocrat of birds, because he moves in the highest circles. Indiana cities of 10,000 population or over are prohibited by State laws from putting down wooden sidewalks. 31rs. Langtry is studying for the stage, We presume Mr. Langtry lias secured a competent divorce lawyer. Harvesting will commence in England within a week. Wheat and barley will yield fairly.

Colt, a young millionaire of Hartford has come out with a splendid four-in-hand at Newport. He is a son of the late 3Ir. Colt, the revolver manufac turer. In France, since the abolition of the empire, no oath has been administered to the legislators. Nor is there any formal ity as an equivalent. Theodore Walton, of the St. James Ho tel, New York, won $20,000 on the races at Saratoga recently, lie gave $500 to the jockey who rode tile winning horse. Young man, a diamond pin looks real nice and glistens brightly, but when $4 a week sup|K>rts a man and a pin both, one or tlic other are not genuine. A new York restaurant keeper hangs out tile following sign; "Dr. Tanner took a squire meal here before beginning his fast.” A deceiving old Philadelphian, who luul been in jail for several days astonish ed his family iqioii his return by stati ng that lie had been attemliuga scamp-meet ing. Anna Dickinson is striving to complete her play for Fanny Daven|>ort. She is not to try the stage herself for sometime, but will next season give readings in Xew England cities and towns.

There is a fortune in store for the milli ner who shall devise a bonnet that can be worn in any part ot a church and always present its trimmed side to the congrega tion. Atlanta Constitution: It is not easy to stop going to Congress w'hen a man gets in the habit of it. It is like smoking five cent cigars—the more you smoke the more you want to smoke. B.

Poor 3Iemphis has decreased in popu lation. In 1870 it had 40,226. In 1880 it has 33,200. Yellow fever did the sail work. It is the only city in the United States that shows a decrease. Tanner ought to go to Ireland and show the people how to be happy with out eating. His departure thither would be a great saving to the country in two directions—in telegraphing-md in contri butions to the famine fund. Jewell plies the screws by levying two per cent on Federal employes’ salaries with prompt discharge from service if the tax is not paid. The employes are reading Gen Arthur’s views on civil ser vice reform with much interest. Hamlet, the French novelist, has six teen brothers and sisters, but none of them possess any literary talent. They used to think him the dunce of the crowd, but they have always been very- affection ate, and he is repaying their kindness now in cash. The Indianapolis News: In 1870 the centre of population in the United States was Clermont county, Ohio. It travels steadily westward each year, and we may expect tin: census of this year to show it to be in this State, somewhere between this city and Bielimond.

It puri fies and sweetens the breath, cools ami refreshes tlic mouth, and gives a js-arl like appearance to the teeth. Gentlemen Who indulge in smoking should cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as it re moves all unpleasant odors of the wood.

Sleep-Sight. THE PRESCIENCE OF THE MIND—A SIN- GULAK STORY—SrlKITS OB CLAIR- VOYANCI. N. Y. Sun.] I have intimate acquaintance with a lady in one of the counties of Kan- sas who is of Scotch descent, well bred, intelligent, and truthful. With in a part of her family relationship she exhibits at intervals an excep tional mental endowment, either sub jection to impression on the brain from great distances, or the perva sion of space with her sense sensibili ty, or clairvoyance, or spirit medi- untship. Which is it? The periods at which this condition is active coincide with niifortuncs to distant members of her family. Her sisters are endowed as she is.— Throughout their lives they have had immediate intelligence of disaster in the familv by dreams, subsequently confirmed in every instance by letter or telegram. These dreams arc vis ions of tilings seen, not messages by word or by sound. They are pictures of events as if seen with the eyes in the daytime. 3Iy Kansas friend lias a dream, bare in outline, severe in simplicity, witli not a word ot speech, rap, or motion of pantomime in it, with no ghostly shade in the chamber. Site wakes up with a lull knowledge of a misfortune that lias happened to a blood relative. Her vision intelli gence covers only relations by blood. Relatives by marriage may" die, be wounded, dr violently killed, and the sisters will know nothing of it. And tliis clairvoyance or incdiiimship does not extend to tlic male line in the family. It is restricted to the fe males. Now for a dream which Sirs. —destribes: “My brother Dan had disease of the lungs. It was aggravated by expos ure and hard service in the army of the Potomac. Rendered unfit for duty, he threw up Ills commission in the Pennsylvania Bucktnils and went to Cuba. At that time 1 was living in Terra Haute, Idiana. My husband was absent in the army of the Cum berland. A lady friend lived in tlic house witli me. One day 1 received n letter from him in which he said that he was strong, that tlic disease of his lungs seemed to have passed away, and that he intended to lake the next steamer for New York, and then go into the Lcathcrcrackcr re gion of Pennsylvania and .settle his affairs. Tlic settlement made, lie in tended to return to Cuba and engage in business, lie urged me to meet him at Altoona, and be with him (lu ring liis short stay in this country.— An impending battle in the South west, where iny husband was station ed, made me undecided about going. I hesitated, not knowing whether to meet my brother as he requested, or remain at home until after the battle and until I had heard from my hus band. I went to bed at 10 p. in., and dropped to sleep at once. “At 10)£ I was awakened by a short vivid dream of warning. Alarmed, I roused my friend and said : *1 have my warning. Something is the mat ter with Dan.’ My friend laughed at I soon recovered from iny nerv ousness, and again dropped to sleep. Instantly it seemed the scene was changed. I was on the cars travel ing eaat. Opposite me sat a white- haired man who had a covered bas ket on his knees. There was a hole in the cover of the basket. The aged ■nan occasionally peered into this hole. I was curious of the contents of the basket, and was pleased when I discovered there were fish in it. The train stopped for dinner. Getting out I met a lady that I knew end we had dinner together. I have forgot ten the name of this station, but I re member that there was a misspelled sign over an adjoining restaurant.— The incidents of the dream were those of a journey from Terre Haute to Altoona. I was happy, pleased with the changing scenery, and thor oughly enjoyed the trip. I looked forward to meeting my brother at Altoona, and in the dream I never doubt that I would meet him. Soon after my Western train ran into the depot at Altoona, the East ern train came thundering in. I stood by a post on the* platform watching the passengers get off the train, expecting to see my brother. 1 began to doubt his being on tlic train when an expressman passed ine wheeling a great box on a truck. I looked through this box as though it were a clear glass. In the box was a coffin, and lying in tlic coffin was my brother One glance showed me that he was dressed in heavy gray Scotcli twill. From a button-hole of liis coat hung a black ribbon. Oil his feet were shoes that had perforated toes. Never having seen shoes of this style, they attracted my notice. The expressman wheeled the box ■ past me and it was put on the express car for Ilollidaysburg. I got on the Ilollidaysburg train also. The intense vivcdncss of tlic dream awoke me, I sat up in bed crying.— My friends arose, lighted tlic gas, and talked to me. With tears stream ing down my face, I insisted Hint Dan was dead. The hands of the mantle clock indicated 11 p. in.— Knowing that something was wrong, I resolved to go home on tlic day tliut my brother had requested. Again I slept, this time a heavy, unrefresh- ing sleep that lasted until morning.— At the breakfast table 1 told my dream. Good-humored ridicule from my friends had a beneficial ef fect on me, and after two days I was almost pursimded Hint I was attach ing too much importance to a dream, “Tlic day for my departure came, I entered Hie car in the Terre Haute station. I seated myself and looked about me. In an opposite seat sat a white-haired-man. I recognized him at once «s Hie man I had seen in my dream. lie had a fish basket ou his knees. The fares of the passengers were fnmiliar to me. At the dinner station I met the lady I had seen in my dream, and we had dinner to gether. Arriving at Altoona, I stood watching tlie eastern train come into tlic depot. I was sure m.v brother’ body would be put off the train. As I stood watching the passengers bur ry into the dining-room, the express man I had seen in iny dream said to me: “Please give way madam.” I turned to lo.ok at taint, and on the truck lay a large box that was ad dressed "to my father. I took the ilollidaysburg train, and on arriv ing home was met by my father, who said : ‘Dan is dead. lie died at sea five days ago front heart disease.’— In answer to inv question ns to tlic time of day lie died, I was informed that it was 9 p. in. The difference in time of tlic East and West showed me that Dan had been dead some four hours before I saw him. Si lently I stood in Hie house beside the box when it was opened. The lid of the coffin was removed, and there lay Dan, dressed exactly as I luul seoii him in my dream.” “I have no explanation to make of the dream. I simply tell you the fact of my having seen an apparition of events Hint were to occur, an appa rition .of innniinatc objects, of dozens of strangers, and of my dead broth er's body.” Knowing the truthfulness of Hie lady, I believe her strange story. Frank AVii.keson. The Little World of London. Here arc some curious statistics about Loudon, from one of Hie pa pers issued by Hie London City Mis sion. It covers within tlic fifteen mile radius of Cliaridg Cross nearly sev en hundred square miles. It numbers in these boundaries -1,000,000 inhabitants. It compromises 100,000 foreigners from every quarter of the globe. It contains more Roman Catholics than Rome itself, more Jews Ilian the whole of Palestine, more Irish than Dublin, more Scotchmen than Eden- burg, more Welshmen than Cardiff, and more country born persons than Hie countries of Devon, AVarwich- shire and Durham coiibiiied. It lias a birth in it every five min utes, a death every eight minutes, and seven accidents every day in its 7,000 miles of streets. _ It bason an average of twenty- eight miles of new streets opened, and 0,000 new houses built everv year. It has 1,000 ships and 9,000 sailors in its port every day. It has 117,000 men habitually on its police register, increasing at un aver age of 30,000 per annum. It has as many beer shops and gin places as would, if placed side by side, stretch a distance of 73 miles. It has as many paupers as would more than occupy every house in Brighton. It has influence with all parts of the world represented by the yearly delivery in its postal districts of 258,- 000,000 letters. Norfolk, so far, is second on the list as a cotton port, with 727,754 bales, New Orleans leading with 1, 474,387, and Savinnnh following with 725,654, Charleston 479,337, Gal veston 470,229 and Mobile 352,110 bales. In liis sledge-hammer speech in Pennsylvania, the other evening, Hon. S. S. Cox wedded tho Credit Mobil- ier the De Golver contract after a fashion that sent peals of laughter echoing up the hills of Pike county. Said he; “It is said that the Congress men who were on Oakes Amf.s’ mem orandum book had good intentions. Hell is paved with them—and De Golyer has the contract!” The “hero of Gettysburg” is hav ing unlimited mud flung at him by pot vatliant fellows who did not help him to save the Union on a certain memorable ocaasion. Wo do not hear of any Tanner clubs being formed. Lent has no terrors for Dr. Tanner. It is liis season for enjoyment. Garfield fought in the rear of tlic army for two years, and then made war on the Confederacy in Cong ress. His tongue and vote were more dangercrous than his sw ord. m * Senator Bruce, having no further use for Mississippi anil Mississippi having no furtiicr use for him, is about to carpet-bag to Ohio where bis wife has some rich relations. At Hie poor bouse at Milwaukee is one Joseph Daws, who, before the war, was reported worth over $2,000,- 000. He must have worn his heart upon his sleeve for other daws to peck at. m • — Jesse Grant, who is an active cor respondent witli tlic “old man,” says it is nottrua that his father is going to "New York to res’de as President of the San Pedro Mining Company, It will be very amusing to see that cat chase in New York.
