. SECOND' SIGNET
Ai Gift which, in Sallie Parts rf See -nand,
is StM Believed to It*iste
According- to a theory which in years.
• gone by was.niuch credited in Scotland; the
gift of second sight is conveyed to 801126,
persons by means of dreams. It is asserted
that occasionally dreams are used is a -
vehicle of intercourse between .the visible
and unseen world, whereby an intineation is
-made not only of what is aotuallytakieg place
at a loog distance off, but of coming events.
Iodeed,.' this :belief is still a deep-rooted
one; and, -it =1St be acknowledged, many
curious instances are on record illustrative
of its truth; evidence which, as Sir Walter
Scott affirms.,_ neither B8.100/4 •Boyle, nor
Johnson Could reSist. I Mr. Henderson has
colleoted togeth4 80610 striking casts,;,, two
Of which .we quote. A lady of Truro
dreamed, the night before. e boating party;
that the ' boat was • • upset and she
herself drowned. Sheetherefoee deter-
mined not to join' -it, and sent :an
excuse. , The party returned safely, how-
ever; and the lady, after •tellifig a friend
*hat had- passed, and describing where
-
she had dreamed the body .would be
found, ceased to _think of the maetee.A
month or two later- the lady had occasion
to crose the Truro River at Xing Haery's
passage; the . boat wee:- upset; she was
drowned, And they sought for thti body in
vain. Then the friend to •whom she had
told her dream came fOrward; and pointed
to.the spot marked out in the dream as the
body% restipg-place, and there it was
found. The second instant:le,. Which'occhr-
red in 1848, and Was narrated inthepapers
_of thatday, is as follows: Mr: Smith, gar:
dener to Sir Clifford Constable; was Sup-
posed t: have fallen into the Tees, his -hat
and stick baying been found teal the
waterside, and the river was dragged for
some time, but without success. A *ewe
riamed Awdb, from Little Newsham, then
dreamed that Smith was lying under the
ledge of a certain rock about three handriel-
yerde below WhorltOn -Bridge, and' that
his right arm was broken-. dream so
affected this .than that he got up early and
set out at once to Search the riper, and on
the first trial he made with theboat.hook
he drew Up the- body of a drowned Man,
and found theright arm actually broken..
There are numerous cases of this kind,
many of which it has been found ;difficult
to explain: but the question is one which
has already engaged the attention of the
psychological student. in years . gone by
it was supposed that fairies in their noc-
turnal rambles. visited sleeping Mortals;
and suggested to them the eubjects-ofteir
dreams, an allusion' to which Shekspeare
- makes in "Romeo andjuilet "(act ie scene

A Philadelphia, scientist, lectur-
ing on the eubjeet of moudebrea.thing, said
that meny ills that are aberibed to other
-causes, are in reality due to the effects of
this habit. Nature intended•the nose to be.
used for inhaling and exhaling the atmos-
phere and fitted it -up for that purpose.
The mucous' membrane contaies what are
termed serous glands, which. give,rnoisture
to the air as it is -inhaled, while it is
warmed and purified* its passage through
the nose. • When taken directLy through
the mouth into- the lungs the air is apt, by
-reason of its lack of moisture, imPuritje or
improper-- temperature, At• all three, to act
as an irritant,' especially' in the -larynx and
in the air cells of the lungs. Owing to the
inlperfect oxygenation of air inhaled directly'
by the mouth habitually there is otten-set
up in the system a condition that gives the
symptoms of dyspepsia, consumption, etc..

Suit for the Iteeoiery -ot Property valued.
at Three Illundied
Angio-Amerietin JEContaanee.1„:
A Pittsburg (Pa.) telegra. says : Papers
are in course ot preparatitin in this city for
the institution,oz ejectment proceedings for
the recovery of Over 50,000 'acme of land
located in northettetern New York, upon
which is situated the town of WhitehalL
The property is estimated as Worth 300
neJlion dollars. The claimants are Iliera-
twee and • dei3oeudenter-of Major Philip
Skene, heir to• the baronetcy of Skerie.
The Baronet's family is said to have'
very powerful, being near blood relatives'
to Laing of Scotland; andwas distinguished
by its antiquity, bravery and„ loyalty, as
well as by -many noble -Alliances and -
desbent derived frora se#eral royal and •
illustrious families. „Mejor• 'Skene came
to this country and BerYed in the
. wars • Of they Revolution and 1812, ee
appreciatioe of his 'services the Kitg
England granted him -the land Me -tinned
above. . This ;grant; however, made
before the revo,utton. He diet:lib 1826, and -
about 1830 his daughter Henritta married
William 'Trotter, desceudant of Henry
John Trotter.' Tradition asserts that - the
Trotter family sprung from the noble house
of Gifford, The eldest 5011of Wm.„Trotter
is now living. He • is -a barrister -at -law,„
deputy lieutenant and justice of the peace
for the county of Dorhare, England, a, el
one Of ,the mesa prominent claimants:.
Until. quite recently the heirs of Major
Skene declined, although frequently re- -
vested to do bto by eminent counsel, to
'give information for the prodecation of their
Dufing recent Visit to Europe
Robert Morrison, of this city, was retained
by the heirs to. enter. . He• will file ..tt bill
in a fortnight, and have -associated with -
him eminent counsel. The property was
confiscated frem•Skene by the Government; .
and plaintiff- claim that the violation of
the treaty of peace between the United -
States and Great Britain of .1783 and 1794
voided the cohfitcation. '
iGirls and Bevis.; '
Our deadliest enerniee are our . boys.
:Girls, ;indeed, are often a great nuisance to .
a father; they, have ' to be led, doctored,
otothed, educated, if possiblemattied, and;
if nobody will have them, provided for as
P111 maide. All this means& good deal of
worry, no dthibt. But, on the other hand,
& daughter, if otat fairly geed disposition,
and not •absolutely repulsive to look at, is
-often a great convehience itt a house. She
sees to the warming hi ;her tather's slip- ,
Pers, is always ready to eew button ou

very 'different footing: Look at him from - •
what point of view' t pieaset a,boy is an
untnitigated nineance, ,Of course, rt
is alwayi pebeible that some good

ceases to 'hlt a boy, . and grows to Mateii
estatet "he may becorue L10 very amiable

satisfaction in that ?' When the youngster
grows up he takes to paddling his Own
canoe, arid might.just as Well be eimibody •
.else's son 'for any beuefit -his parents get .
out of him. This is e sad truth, which
fathers. are nnt slow to anticipate. 'I have
it on the authority of one, of the most cele-
brated members ef the College Of Physicians,
and a min of undoubted veracity, that,
when a son is born, the firstquestioo which
the father aske is, "Will he live, doctor 2", .
This question .being answered .i e

posed to euggest. itself to the paternal
mind, though it may not rise to the lips, is

The iwring 141sitt In Lomolow.
,Mr.'Fitrin , , of the Westminster Aquar-
ium, . the • enterprising discoverer ot the
tattoed Greek nubletnan, has crowned his °
feats in anthropological research by ;the
capture of a real " miseing link." This rare
crea.,thre is =described as u -a very bright-,
looking, intelligent girt of about . seven
years, differieg only trona the !eta of her.
sex by being, like the Maeda, “ iliore hairy."
The tribe to. which Riao _ belongs inhabit -
the Wild country! to -the northeast of
i
and the process by which this int* : ing.
Specimen was progured is not a Mt cur-
ious. Rearing of the existence of e a raceI
of hairy -tailed men" in the regions,'Mr.
Carl Bock, 'a traveller, "offered a reward
for the eapture of a specimen." The 'result
-of &hairy -tailed man hunt got:- up under'
Mr. Book's auspices was -the capture of
this little girl with her father and mother..
The feat is doubtless s, great triumph for
science, for though Miss Krao has no tall
there is a very promising " lengthening of
.the lower .vertebrre suggestive of a °mad
protuberance." f But what, we should Wee to :-
knew, has Mr. Allen, of the Anti -Slavery
Society, or_Mr: Cheseon, of the Aborigines
Protection Society, to 'BOA this audacious
case or kidnapping? Are human beings,
through having a suspicion Of tails, -to be -
run down and oaptured in thOoods merely
to furnish the Westminster Aquariuiti with
a'nevek attraction. --Whitehall Review.
