A Fortune Lost and \N on.—One of
the most, successful business men in
New York was Stephenson, the c.tt-
Intilder. lie Lad tile monopoly of street
car building throughout the work), lie j
made cars lor every nationality. The |
price was gold, paid before the cats j
were shipped. Uncle John, as lie was j
called, supposed to have been worth j
500,000 at the least. The business
world wits astonished when lie stopped
payment. The old matt was real estate
mad. lie bought an estate at New
Rochelle and spent a fortune in filling
up marshes, lie spent on bis private
dwelling in that place 8600,000, and
would have pat more into it if lie oeuid.
Times are Laid, but most of tbe failures
are due to the fact that men trv to run
100 many establishments or to dabble to
much in outside matteis.
A Man’s Life Saved ISy a Dream —
Early on Friday morning Mr. Hall, a
bitten tr, of Franklin, Mass., went into
liis ice chest to inspect the premises,
when the door accidentally swung
back, operating the spring lock, and the
man was a prisoner in a very .'Mali
room of icy tetupeialutv, and without
means of .scape. A speedy and Iright
lul death stared him in the lace. He
shouted and thump and upon what
promised to be his coffin, but all in
-vain. Now comes the marvellous part,
of die circumstance. When Mr. Hall's
son arose OB that morning lie was
deeply impressed with a dream which
he had during ihe previous night. lie
dresilled that his father had been caught
and suffocated iu the ice chest. Not
tindingdiis father on inquiring for him,
■the son at once proceeded to the ice
chest and found it locked. On opening
it the apparently dead body oi hi s Lukei
was discovered and rescued, bo near
death had tli. unforun ate prisoner
come that it was hours before be came
to a state of consciousness, and is still
in an enfeebled condition, io those
(ourselves among the number) who have
no faith in dreams and visions, it may
be difficult to account for the connection
between the sous dream and the ioib
er’s accident. — Woonsock fl\ 1) Patrri

EleCtkiC Tight tor Illuminating
at Sea —Harper’s Magazine savs the
Rteamsliip Amcrique, of the General
Transatlantic Steamship Company, has
been provided with new electric ligrtt
for the purpose of illumination ses.
The apparatus used is one of M.
Gramme’s electro magnetic machiuss,
designed for illuminating
r j’he propelling power is a small but
powerful engine, fire iamp consist of
nvo pointed coke pencils, four or five
inches in length and one half inch
square, kept at the proper distance from
each other bv a clock-work arrange
ment, aud which will last some four
hours. Ihe light, it is affirmed, is vis
ible at sea at a distance of fifteen mile?,
and lights the ship so perfectly that all
the details of her equipment and rigging
can be plainly seens a distance of over
a mile. The especial design of the
lamp is to afford light for working the
ship. The Amerique is the first vcbsol
that has been equipped with tbe light,
and the system is said to work with
tbe greatest satisfaction.
It baa puzzled many people to decide
■why tbe dark wood so highly valued
for furniture should be called rose-wood.
Its color certainly does not look much
like a rose, so we roust look lor some
other reason. Upon asking we are
told that when the tree is first cut the
fresh wood possesses a very strong rose
]ike fragrance—bence tbe name.

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1870
which include* National, Suite nnd county elec
tions, and which will undoubtedly bo the most
active and hotly contested of any trinee tho mo
mnrnblo canvass of 1 SCO is now fairly opened
The National Democratic Party will this year
make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless successful
struggle for tho maintenance and supremacy of
those principles which arc vital to tho prosperity
of the Republic and essential to ibu well-being
of the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people in Georgia and Florida will elect new
State government?. In Florida the campaign
promise? to be unusually vigorous, and there is
a probability that for the first time since tho
war the people of that Radical-ridden State Will
elect a Democratic State government. In those
campaigns the people of the South are deeply
interested; and every intelligent citizen, who
has the welfare of his country and hi? section at
heart, should acquaint himself with every detail
of the great work of redemption and reform tha'
is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the Savannah Morning News, an
independent Democratic newspaper,of pronounc
ed opinions and fearless in their expression; a
paper that is recognized everywhere as the best
daily in tho South. Its editorial department is
vigorous, thoughtful, and consistent, while its
news and local departments are marvels of in
dustry and completeness. Its department of
Georgia and Florida affairs is not confined to a
more hairen summary of events transpiring in
those States, but is enlivened by comment at
or.ee apt. time'y, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will
be devoted to furnishing the readers of the
HOMING NEWS
with tho latest intelligence from all parts of the
world, through tbe pies? dispatches, special tel
egrains, and by means of’special correspondence;
| and through tbeS agencies the paper will be
the earliest chronicler of every noteworthy inci
dent jf the political campaign of 1870.
