It la from cases of this inter° that Lord Brougham haa been led to the opinion that all our dreama actually take place in the eat of falling asleep ot of awaking. We cannot, how- ever explicitly accept this doctrine, Some heves argued thee the mind can never be entirety Ina:save and that everyone is dreaming throughout the whole noted of sleep, although the dreams relay not be remembered in the waking atate. The fol- lowing case goes strongly to disprove this t,ho ory; a woman egode.0 who had lost a portion of the swabs, skull, and dura meter'ao that a portiox of her brain was exposed to view, was a patient] in 1821 in the hospital at Montpelier. When she wee in a dreamless :date, or in profound alum, her =Ars WAS ComAnsxtvELY MOTIONLass, and lay completely within its bony Cage' • but when the sleep was imperfect, and the mind was agitated by dreams, her braba moved and protruded from the skull, form- ing what is termed cerebral hernia. This protrusion was greateet when the drozuns, as she reported, were moat -vivid. If the data of this] case axe to be depended on, the appearance of the brain during profound sleep seems to indicate that during sound sleep there is a total or nearly total suspen- sion of the mental faculties. In the Homeric age, it was finaily held that "dreams come from Zeus," and were accordingly accepted as omens. In the moat ancient civilized comtreunities of which we have any record—those of Egypt and Babylon—to interpret the monarch's dreams was one of the most important state came and was confided to a college of wise men. Grave philosophers wrote treatises on dreams, as they did on astrology. Even Bacon, although he confesses that the in- terpretation of dreams is mixed with num- erous extravagances, yet SPEARS AS IF HE TETOITGIM that something might be made of it. In modem times'however, dreams are seldom heeded except by the very ignorant and superstitious; and "as idle as a dream" has become a proverb. As to the actual coincidences that some- times happen between dreams and events, it is only surprising, considering the countless fancies that are passing through our minde while asleep, that the coincidences are not ten times more numerous than they are. peoret Chambers in old English Houses. One of the moat interesting ofEnglish coun- try houses is the secret hiding place. This generally has been contrived with muoh architectural skill, and in days gone by baffled discovery from the most observant and experienced eye. In certain oases it would appear that, for some reason or other, the hiding plaoe has been specially kept a seoret among members of the family. Thus, in the north of England, may be mentioned Nethoreall, near Maryport, Cumberland, the seat of the old family of Senholum. In this time-honored mansion there is said to be a real secret Member, its exact position being only known to two persons— the heir - in -law and the family solicitor. According to a popular tradition the se- oret of the hidden room has never been re- vealed to more than :two living persons at a time. This mysterious room has no window and despite every effort to discover it, has, it issaid,defied the ingenuity of every vie- iter_staying in the house. With this more t Member may be oompered the one at Gland; the latter pones:ding a window, but which bas not lead to the indentifieation of the my- sterions room.

Senator Cullum will bare charer,e of Sae latter expedition, The Widow's Strategy. A man of considerable wealth, who died in this city some time since, made a distrbu- tion of his personal estate which did not suit his disconsolate widow. Among other un- satisfactory thiegs, he bequeathed the pro- ceeds of certain land end docks of value to a brother, while a a 1 Cs to the widow the proceeds of other EA, 4 and lands compara- tively valueless, as a portion of her legacy. But the widow was sole executrix of the will, and when she came to sell she disposed of the land and stocks in a lump, setting a high valuation on those of which she was to have the proceeds and a low valuation on the others, the valuation of the two lots taken together making a fair price for the whole. By this imeans she exactly reversed that portion of her husband's will relating to the land and stooks in question. The brother, not relishing such sharp practice on the part of his sister-in-law, brought a suit to recover the actual value of the bequest made to him, whereupon the widow proposed that instead of spending the estate in law they should marry each other and enjoy it together. This proposition "struck a responsive chord" in the breast of the brother. They were married accord- ingly ; and are said to be having a jolly time in spending the fortune which the deceased gentleman was me kind as to ace urnulate for them. A venewable, white-haired clergyman of Philadelphia has recently been much grati- fied at receiving several requests from ladies for a lock of his hair. But the other day his wife received a note that put a different light on the Subject. It ran as follows : "My dear Mrs. X., ---Won't you please ask your good husband to send me just a little look of Ma hair. We have all been taking lessons in making hair &were. So many of -the other lzdirls asked him and he sent it to them, but I thought I would rather ask you to get it for me. Now, won't] you please do this for Ino, it is so hard to get white hair for lilies of the walleye' A Remarkable Young Woman.

Wise Ducks and Simple Swans. Sportsmen who hem visited Sauvie'e Island, Ore., lately say that the number of swan at present "using" in the lakes there is something wonderful, being much greater than ever seen there before. It is said that there are 4,000 on Morgan's Lake, and at least 10,000 on Big Sturgeon, and one man says there aro '20,000. The swan are feasting on wapatoes, and the canvasbacks and other ducks are getting a share. Mister Swan goes down and pulls a lot of the luscious wapatoes, allowing them to float to the surface, and then he comes up and draws a long breath, and if any of the wapetoes are in sight he takes them in his bill and washes and rinses it carefully before swallowing it. The chances aro, however, that the ducks who have been watching around have pounced on the wapatoes, and, without waiting to wash them, have swallow- ed every one of them, and are sitting at a safe distance "booking as if butter would nob melt in their tamales," and waiting for the swan to dig up some more. President Cleveland's Habits. It is probable that President Cleve- land has never crossed the threshold of more than two Washington homes oute side the Cabineb circle. In other words, he has not seen the interior of ten residences in Washington. He has never seen Congress at work, and lam assured that in four years he hite not once entered a de- partment building. The Treasury, State, Navy, War, and Atoorney-Generaes depart- ments are all within a stone's throw of the White House, but Mr. Cleveland never opened their doors. Mr. Cleveland never walked upon Pennsylvania avenue as Grant was in the habit of doing, and surely he never took a drink across a Washington 'bar as Buchanan did more than once. He rarely goes to the theatre, not oaring much for the plays. Probably there has no w and then been an entire week he has not once put on his hail and gone out of doors. All he knows about Washington and its ways he has heard. Row %Wildcat rights. Chrietopher Waterman bad a lively taste() With a wihiCat near Choke Creek, in Lehigh townehip, the other day.

Dr. Paul Gibier, the French physioian who was sent by the French Government to Jackhonville to study the yellow fever when it was at its height, has generously offered his services to the Federal authorities to continue, gratis, hisresearohes in connection with this terrible epidemic disease, the French Government having declined to spend more money on the undertaking. ' "Alt I want," said Dr. Gibier, "is the moral eup- port of the United States Government and the payment of incidental expensea. , I ask for no rentimeration for nay services."

Cooked celery is a delicious dish for the table, and the most conducive to the health of any vegetable that can be mentioned. [Leeds Mercury. (lowboy Illyers's Nerve.

One week from the time he was bitten his wife also was bitten by another oat, iand great fear was entertained that she would soon meet the same fate. The prediotion has proven true. The woman was attacked with hydrophobia, and lay on her bed, tied hand and foot, frothing at the mouth, growl. ing and whining, and trying to bite and scratch herself or anybody that came near her. Death has ended her suffering to -day. The people are wild with excitement, as two other ladies have been bitten by oats.

Another attempt has been made to solve the problem of the prevention of ma -sickness, this time by Mr, Goodwin, whose adjustable ship's berth -we have inspected at the office of Messrs. F. Prince & Co, of the Strand, Lon- don. This contrivence consiate of a ship's berth so eupportedethat ie always maintains a level position, notwithstanding the rolling or pitching of the veseen The berth is suspend- ed at each end from brackets made fast to the bulkheads of the cabin, the connection being a ball and socket joint. From this point is hung a cross piece, like a whipple-tree, itt head and foot, the ends of the cross pieces being commeted with the four corners of the berth by rods, which are joined at every con- necting point,. The berth is connected with the floor on the underside, near the head and foot, by two pairs of spiral springs, eaoh pair consisting of a weak ands strong spring, connected together and placed one above the other. A moderate rollonly brings the weak- er spring into play, but a heavy lurch brings both of them into action, the check being thus taken up gradually. As far as could be shown in it room the invention worked ex- cellently, both pitching and rolling being well met. It is stated that this berth has been tested with every success in the steamship Sardinian during a voyage across the Atlan- tic, and that it has also been tried on board the Invicta on the Channel passage. The Bishop of Lincoln's Trial. A New York Poet special London cable, Feb.12, says:—Great interest is felt in ohuroh circles in the trial to -day before the Arotthisleop of Canterbury, with episcopal and legal assessors, of the Right Rev, Edward King, D. D., Bishop of Lincoln, for ritualistic practices, much as using altar lights, a mixed chalice, the eastward posi- tion, singing the Agelus Del, making the sign of the cross during the benediction, cleans- ing the paten and chalioe, and drinking the wine and water before the oongregation. All this is habitual praotioe in RitualbatIo churches throughout the country, but all has been declared illegal by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The pros- ecution is promoted by the Church Associa- tion, the evangelioal organization aiming:at the suppression of Ritualism. The Arch bishop failed to effect a compromise, and has been compelled by the Judicial Committee to try the issue. HP does this very reluct- antly, as he himself, then Bishop of Truro, used the same dean Bishop King was formerly Divinity Professor at Oxford, and is greatly beloved and universally respected. The tele' is a test case, and is likely to have a serious effect on the future of the Cletwoh, of Eneland. "If Bishop King is oondenmed, 11 Ritualistic secession is spoken of. This is not likely, but a condemnation would hasten 4 000 lusrsee in Hun ar disestablishment.

Do you wonder I still look tired 2" "What can I do, my darling," he whis- pered, "to prove my love for thee 2 Would that I could, at peril of my life rescue thee from bloodthirsty Indian; save'the from the fangs of the roaring lion or snatch thee from a watery grave. Say dear one what can I do Ask papa,' she said promptly. But he was notpremared to go as far as that He went outside to see what sorb of an evening it was, and he never oame back again. He gazed around the Meerful and comfor- table -looking apartment, then addressing the widow, he said "Your husband's been dead over a year now 7" "Yes," she an- swered, with a sigh, "over a year." "1 remember reading his obituary," he said, "and I thought it contained a miestatement of facts." ' A misstatement of facts "Yes, it said that he had gone to a better home. In my opinion it would be impossi- ble for him to find a more cheerful, more comfortable, and, with you in it, a, more charming and desirable home than this." The widow smiled sweetly, then he was ao- cepted. "No, George," faltered the maiden, "1 fear it cannot be. I admire you as a gentle- men, 1 respect you as a friend, but—" "Laura 1" he exclaimed, "before you pass sentence hear me oub. A recent lucky stroke in business has enabled me to buy a beauti- ful home on Prairie avenue, which shall be in your name.

I was about to say that the sentiments of respect and esteem I feel for you, though so strong, are feeble in comparison with the deep love which—which I— which I have long—don't George, dear 1" For George had interrupted her again. Lord Beaconsfield and his Debts. Itt ie curious to hear the astonishment ex- pressed by those who ought to know about Lord Beaconsfield ab the statements in the Quarterly Review concerning his debts. Lord eteaconefield was a poor man all hie life, for the raison that, until ehortly before his death, he had never paid off his early liabilities. The fortune left him by Mr. Btydges Wil- liams cleared them off, and he paid every penny he owed. Ladyellemonsfield's fortune was hers only for her life, and she was not able to leave him anything of importance, but in the early part of his married life she assisted him ssdtb his election expenses, and except for his marriage the probability kr he could never have stemmed the tide of motley difficulties which always hampered him.— [London World.
