SInsular Way In Which au Ensrliah Murderer Wast Discovered.'' In the London Mirror of Literature for June, 1844, there is an account of a dream that was remarkable in many respects. It is given upon the authority of a clergyman of the Church of England, the Rev. Mr. Alexander, who speaks from personal knowledge of some of the facts. It appears that a young man of good reputation, named Horrocks, was found robbed and murdered. His head had been beaten in apparently witb bludgeons. A vigilant search was made for the assassin and after several months abandoned; no clew to the crime, having been discovered. One night a gentleman who had been well acquainted with Horrocks awoke and told his wife-that he had had a dream in which he had been as- ~sured-that_one-SamueI_Longsinith_of. Bolton was the murderer. Longsmith lived some twenty miles away and was a person whom the dreamer had met but once or twice. His wife told him to think no more about it, but to go to sleep. A second time he awoke from the effects of the samo dream and announced his resolution to take steps the following morning- to seo what could come of it. Accordingly he went to Bolton the next day and sought a warrant for the ar.- rest of Longsmith. The magistrate, howevov, refused to grant it upou such evidence. Passing through the market place, he met Longsmith aud invited him to go to if public house to hear something ho had to communicate to him. There, locking tlio door, ho charged him with tho crime. Long- smith was staggered nud faintly denied tho accusation. In his confusion ho snid ho was Innocent, for he did not strike the blow, "Then ybu know the man who did," replied tho accuser, and Longsmith was arrested and examined. He prevaricated at tho examination and was reiniindod for three day*. At tho end of thnt time and after many hours* prayer lie confessed that ho hnd beon induced to join throo men in a robbing expedition, when, mooting Horrocks, who iiiiulo Homo resistance, hi.i throo companions murdered lilm. This confession enmo out liof'oru tlio grand Jury, nnd LongHinlth was brought to trial. Tho fact of tho dronm wns not offorod lu evidence, but other testimony sut'- llciont to convict lilm was produced. A fow days before Iho execution ho mado a full acknowledgment of hia gUllt.

In 1887 ho was an unsuccessful candidate for the Territorial Assembly,; and in tho election of 1896 he stumped Northeastern Assiniboia as a Dominion Conservative candidate. Ho is widely known as an effective platform speaker, and as a forceful writer.' Within tho past,few months Mr. Hawkes has gained widespread notoriety by his announcement of his intention.. to support the Liberal Government���������chief!v on its present railway policy. This action is another illustration of ��������� his fair-minded openness "Eo argument and his native jindependence of thought, as he has, las is well known, been a lifelong, ae-c tive Conservative. The political conversion of such a "man as Mr. Hawkes is rightly interpreted by' hisi friends as an event of considerable, J importance,' for his influence is, as ������������������ has ,bcon said, considerable, and his ,,'fame is more widespread than is the lot ofthe average editor in a small ��������� town. j Editor Hawkes in,his time has set type, railroaded, "punched bulls," plowed, split rails, and ginned, cotton; he has campaigned in England, and from the Rockies to; the , East':; ho, knows the continent from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico, and frown. New''York to British Columbia, but he is proudest of all that he is a newspaper man. And. like the great Disraeli, he "knows where iu the world is the bathing so fine* or so stimulating in its effects."

An Especial Fad Is Said io Be Good Fer Mind and Body. The b^st thing "iu tbe world for nerves is sleep, the next proper food, the third proper dress; But as-good as any one of these is a hobby. How often does ope hear tbe expression, "Oh, that is So-aud-So's hobby," spoken rather disparagingly. It is the tendency of the average mind to regard a-person who has a pronounced enthusiasm as a species of harmless lunatic rather to be pitied. The truth of the matter is tliat any one who hao any especial fad is greatly to be envied, as it probably provides more Interest and amusement for its possessor than anything else. Any decided interest ha life, whether it is dignified by tlie name of an occupation or is simply "an enthusiasm or even mentioned slightingly as u fad, is eminently desirable. -"I have never seea a.genuine collector that is not happy when he is allowed by circumstances to gratify his tastes." remarked a student of human nature, "and w bent in 4hat direction should always be. encouraged. It is a curious phase of our humanity that we will work diligently to make provision for, our material'needs w-hcri we are "6l(T and quite neglect to "store up mental resources that will interest and amuse us'until .we are called hence."

Tbe girl, to me, remained distinct from both of them; her r.al personality hovered just beyond my mental grasp. If she were Sibyl, then some strange transformation had taken place; some image had effaced my confused recollection of the child, substituting itself instead and in such form that I could not recognize tho two as different views* of the same individual-' Returning;' to the consideration ot Trask, I asked myself why he had al- ways shown such feeling, for the girl, why he had sent the liliesjto her? "I give him up," said I suddenly, speaking aloud, to my own surprise ancl confusion. "Give whom up?" demanded.Trask. "There was some kind of a biting bug flying around," said I weakly, "and I had been trying to catch him." This explanation was received witfc credence, yet I felt the need of diverting attention. ."Trask," said I, "we've fallen Into a great fit of the blues for no especial reason that I can see, and you're the, worst of the three. Tell me: candidly what seems to you to.be the matter with this world.; I 'speak of general principles, of course, and not of your privato affairs." "The trouble with life," said he, frowning, "is that a man Is asked to fight battles after they are done, to wave bis sword upon lost fields and beg the dead of yesterday to. arise and follow him." "That sounds to me like some form "offataliBm","said"I: = -~r��������� "It ls a general kick," growled Trask. "I am not ambitious to give it a philosophical title.

A Philadelphia despatch says that much excitement was caused in shipping circles Monday by a report received at the Maritime Exchange, that tho British steamship Kelvin, bound from New York for Buenos Ayrcs and Montevideo, was passed at sea 300 miles east of Cape 1-1 attorns, abandoned by her crew. The Kelvin with her cargo is valued at nearly ������600,000. and is one of the most valuable' prizes left adrift in recent years. Her cargo, whicli is mado up of agricultural implements, machinery, hardware and .merchandise, is alone*- valued at $400,000. As this prize lies but a short distance, off shoro and directly in the track of vessels making their way to the United States from South American and West Indian ports, it is the opinion that, she will be picked up by some lucky shipmaster ana toived into a harbor on the southern coast of Iho United States. >To particulars concerning the derelict craft other than the fact that slio was passed abandoned and with a heavy list to starboard by the British steamship Hubert, at Barbados from New York, could bo learned. Capt. Good cabled that the Kelvin was sighted on October 7 in latitude y_, longitude 70. Owing to a heavy sea running at the time it was impossible to board thc ship. The Kelvin left New York October 3, under command of Captain McLennan. She ls a, new craft, having been, launched in Glasgow last February.

One of the Pope's latest acts was the discharge of the mounted escort of six men which used to accompany him in his walks through the Vatican grounds, declaring that not orily were the services qf'these men superfluous, but tliat their presence made him feel ill at ease.

It is now evident that that the JapR had thoroughly prepared themselves W the movement, that has been unmasked. They went about their task coo ly, deliberately" and systematically. Temptation to rush in and overtake the enemy ue- fore he had completed his dispositions was determinedly* set" aside. Whether or not the artillery of the Japs was superior to that oi their enemy, as claimed by the Russians in extenuation of their defeat* it was sufficient for the purpose. Tliey have gained a prestige that will be of great assistance to Ihera in the work of the future. The Japanese commanders have bfien resourceful enough to feize the opportunities that presented themselves, if Ihey had not, the first grent victory on land���������in the neighborhood of" the Yalu River���������might not hnve been won at so small a sacrifice, nnd it is quito clear that at that timo Kuropntkiii's tactics were eji])f>r quickly comprehended by the Jnps or that they were not carried out satisfactorily by his subordinates. The Russians work mi? lit surelv have been done with more dexterity and at less cost in men, artillery, riflea and ammunition to say nothing about the moral effect upon the combatants on both sides of euch a defeat nnd victory. Now thnt Port Arthur has capi tulated, the Russian fleet there rendoiod bora do combat, it. in pa tent thnl the eyes of tho whole world nro turned towards the Japanese fl'Ot peeking to intercept RojoBtvonsky, It is unlikely that Kouropatkin will asHiime the of. tensive so soon aftor the Port Arthur blow.

The poor beast had evidently injured herself jumping a high log, and had suffered all night at'ter- wards, unable to move far from the spot, A bullet mercifully ended her sufferings.
