Sonfuambulic Young Lady.

In Cincinnati a young lady, Miss Julia
Knight, while in a state fsomnambulism
one night last week, left her sleeping-a-
partment, and donned the coat, vest and
pants of her brother This done, she
proceeded to closet in an adjoining
room. and took from there razor and
strop. Returning to her own room, i'm
mediately opposite her brothers, she sea-
ted herself and commenced sharpening
the razor in a womanlike manner. The
noise produced by this operation awaken
ed her brother, who, on rising and inquir-
ing the cause, was told by her that she was
about to shave, and she wished be would
retire and not alarm the family by max
ing so much ado about nothing. Suspect
ing her condition, says the Nonpariel, he
cautiously told her that if she would
hand it to him he would assist in shar-
ening it, At this she readily relinquish-
ed the dangerous weapon; her brother
placed it out of reach, and then proceeded,
by gentle means, to awaken her. This
he at last accomplished, but such was the
surprise of the lady, on discovering her
that she Immediately tainted,
but was restored by the usual appliances.

We have heard considerable
expressed, as to the manner
in which many of the Delegates were cleo
ted, and that their right to a seat intbe
Convention will be contested. Judge Bar
rett has a small majority, on the popular
vote in the County. The two different
factions charge each other with having
resorted to all kinds of mcanness, in Or
der to accomplish their ends; bow this is,
We are unable to say, but presume they
will have a warm time of it, at their Con-
rention, which comes of in this place on

The August Elections,

The results of these elections may be
summarily stated as follows =
KENrUcKY.--Five Wings and five
Democrats elected to Congress. Legisla-
ture Whig, A. U. Senator to be chosen
TENNEssEE..-Andrew johnson, DEM
is elected Governor BY two or three thous-
aud majority. -Four Democrats, inclu-
ding Stanton, are elected to Congress, and
three Wings, Three districts to hear
from. The Legislature is said to be
Wing BY small majority.
M1ssoURI-Five members were elect
ed to Congress by single Districts, under
the old apportionment, year ago. The
State being entitled to seven members,
the other two have now been elected, one
by that portion of the people residing
north of the Missouri river, and the 9TH
er by those south of it. In both eases, a
Wing is said to have succeeded. If so,
the delegation stands four Wings and
three Democrats. No L legislature was
chosen this year.
ARKANsAs.-Two Democrats elected to
Congress, being gain of one, as the
State has heretofore been entitled to but
one member.
TEXAS.-Dwo Democrats elected to
Congress, same as before
ALABAMA.-Six Democrats and one
Wing elected to Congress, being Demo
cratic gain of one member. John A.
Winston, Democrat, is elected Governor,
and the Legislature is Of the same politics
Two u. S. Senators are to be elected by
the body.
NORTH CARoLINA.-Three Wings and
four Democrats elected to Congress, with
Clingman's District not yet ascertained,
but he is supposed to be reelected A.
Democratic gain of two or three mem
bers.
TENNESsEE.-0ur most reliable ad-
vices relative to the recent State election
in Tennessee, are that johnson the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor; has a
majority of 22l6, that FIVE Wings and
four Democrats are elected to Congress,
thirteen Democrats and twelve Wings to
the State Senate, and forty-four Wings
and thirty-one Democrats to the House Of
Representatives. This shows that our
Whig brethren have gallantly contested
a State which is generally close.

Our Indebtedness Abroad.

A writer in the New York Times, es-
Inmates the indebtedness of this country
to Europe, to have been about one hun
dred and forty millions in 1913 The
same writer puts down the indebtedness
at the present time, at not less than three
hundred and eleven millions. Several
contemporaries, who devote themselves
particularly to financial matters, and who
should therefore, be good authorities on
the subject, have pronounced the calcula
ton q correct one.
The above statement is no doubt near
ly accurate; and the debt is daily increa-
sing by the importation of foreign goods.
The interest upon the above sum is SIS,
66O, 900 which must be paid annually in
specie or exports of produce. Of course
it must be in the solid stuff; for which
the present free trade policy continues,
our imports must necessarily exceed our
exports.

Indian Battle.

A report has recently been received
from Independence, Mo-: that great
battle had occurred on the Western
Plains between the Sioux tribe, aided by
the Cheyennes, in all 5000 strong-and
the Paronies aided by the Jawas, Sacks
and Pottowatomies, numbering about 81
900. The fight lasted all day, the killed
on both sides being from 500 to 600. II
took place within fifty miles of Fort
Kearney, and the Sioux party were de-
feated:
A person just from Fort Laramie, says
that the above account is greatly exag-
gerated, but nevertheless great demon
strations had been made, and had not the
Pottowatomies interfered, the Paronies
would probably have been whipped. He
states the number at probably hundreds,
instead of thousands, and the estimate of
the killed likewise much exaggerated.
