VoLITIoN NOT SUSPENDED DURING SLEEP
That volition is not suspenped during sleep, is
proved by many facts; and probably the oxperi-
ence OF every person who remembers his dreams
affords evidence that the will is as busy during
sleep as when awake. But the fact is srikingly
illustrated by examples of remarkable exertion of
will in the employment of intellect and genius
during sleep.
Tartini, celebrated violin player, composed
his famous :" DEVILS Sonata while he dreamed
that the devil challenged him TO a trial of skill on
his own violin. Cabanis often during his dreams
saw clerly into the bearing OF political events.
which baff1ed him when awake Condoret fre
quently left his deep and complicated calculations
unfinished when obliged to retire to rest and
found their results unlolded in his dreams. Cole
ridges account of his wild composition Kubla
Khan, is very curious He had been reading
Purchas' Pilgrimage, and fell asleep at the mo-
ment he was reading this sentence, Here the
Khan kubla commanded palace to be built and
stately garden thereto" He continued his pro
found sleep about three hours, during which he
had vivid confidence that he composed from
two to three hundred lines; if, as he saws. that
can be called composition in which all the ina
ges rose up before HIM, things with parallel
production of correspondent expressions. On
awakng he appeared to have distinct recoflec-
ton OF the whole and proceeded to write down
the wonderful lines that are preserved, when he
was interrupted, and could never afterwards 70.
call the rest.

WORTHY EXAMPLE One Of those graft
lying exemplihcations of high-sou sense of
honor and honesty looking beyond the statute
book Tor its standard OF right, which occasionally
illuminate the darkness Of this weekday world
occurred in this city on Friday last, and we take
great pleasure in chronicling it. On that day, an
elderly gentlemen, stranger, called at one OF
our hanks, and after introducing himself to the
Directors and the officers, made know n the object
oil his visit, 1t seems that about twenty wears
ago, In 1927, he was an endoYser, merely, on
note the parties to which failed at that time, and
after paying to their creditors dividend of SER
emfy-s'r per cent, received full discharge from
all claims. The present Board Of Directors were
wholly unacquointed with the gentleman or the
transaction, and were obliged seek knowledge
OF 1t in the books and papers OF the Bank-the en-
dorser insisting upon paying the balance OF the
debt, which he did, Notwithstanding the dis
chargeO to the amount OF about $1,45O.
The gentleman whose name ought not to be
concealed was JOHN WILLIAMS, of Boston,
and we believe this is not the gnly transaction OF
the kind with which he has been connected. He
needs no title but his simple name.

A RAILWAY RACE.

The editor of the London Chronicle gives the
following account of an exciting scene:
A railway race is sufficiently exciting and in
teresiing event; but il is rarely witnessed. and
scarcely ever IN perfect safety. Betw cen pair
OF well matched locomotives it would be sniff
GENTLY exciting; bnt between new system. like
the atmospheric, and its rival. the locomotive. the
character and reputation of both systems for speed
depending on the issue, a well matched cuntest
~onld ne OF no common interest. In this case we
were lucky enough To such race /; and we
believe any of our readers who leave London
bridge station at twenty minutes past two, and
take an atmospheric ticket, may any day see the
same. we were standing at the Forest Hall
station preparing to start, when il was announced
mat The Dover express train was in sight I'm
mediaiely (the atmospheric tran) made prepare
lions to start aud just in the act of srar,ino
from rest when the Locomotive train swhisked,
past us at probably thirty five miles an bour
we started, but before got into motion at any
velocity the Dover train was mile ahead of ms
and was evidently gaining rapidly in speed
however, on we went like whirlwind and II
soon became evident that we were gaining on our
rival. Three OF four minutes decided the race
we passed the express train at a rate exceeding
her own by is or 20 miles an hnnr. Our yrloci
~ could not then be less than 60 miles an hour
II was easily maintained, and we were over the
brighton viaduct and considerably beyond j, be
lore the Dover train reached ii'
