The special Paris correspondent Of the New
York Times tells the following curious story:
young and frail Scotch girl, scarcely NOR.
than child, aud beautiful as any of Walter
SCOTS heroines, has lately attracted the public
attention in Paris by sleeping wherever she
goes. Her name is Erina Walton, and hel
mother has brought her to Paris to try by
travel to cure her Of her singular malady. Al
the opera she no snooper takes her seat in O
box than she falls to sleep, and thus remains
until she is awakened, and it is whilst in this
position that she has gained the title Of ala
Belle Dormeuse" While she sleeps she is
said to enjoy dreams SO lovely and so attractive
that the awakening into the common place
surroundings Of this world displsases her, and
she hastens back again into dream-land. AT
home, in carriage, at the theatre, wherever
she is left alone for moment, she settles into
calm and sweet sleep; and with lovely and
child-like face, and dreams such as she enjoy,
one can readily imagine that her face in sleep
is the centre of attraction for all eyes, and that
she well merits the title of "The Beautiful
Sleeper" The symptoms Of this case betray
one Of the curious forms of Mysteries, and, no
doubt, after time has cured her Of the abomin-
able condition in which she now finds herself,
she will look back upon that period with as
much fear as she now does with delight.
Aside from the diseased condition Of this
chid's nervous system, it would be curious to
know how much there is Of materiality, how
much Of immateriality In this Swedenborgian.
like communion with the land of dreams.

IL countenancing Fillibusterism be sin, il
is not q sin that can be charged upon the pre-
sent Administration. The course pursued by
the President in regard to all expeditions and
projects Of that character has been such as
should amply satisfy the most jealous and ex
acting foreign Governments and the most eau
tious and phleematic of American fogies.
The subjoined proclamation of the President
accords perfectly with the whole line of policy
which he has pursued on this subject
BY the Preidsm Of the United State, Of America
ProcIamation.
Whereas information has been received by
me that sundry persons, citizens of the United
States and others, residents therein, are prepar-
ing within the jurisdiction of the same to enlist
or enter themselves, or to hire or retain others
to participate, in military operations within the
State of Nicaragua:
Now, therefore, /, Franklin Pierce, President
Of the United States, do warn all persons
against connecting themselves with any such
enterprise or undertaking, as being contrary
to their duty as good citizens, and to the laws
of their country, and threatening to the peace
Of the United States.
DO furtner Aumonlsn al persons VINO may
depart from the United States, either singly or
in numbers, organized or unorganized, for any
such purpose, that they will thereby cease to
be entitled to the protection Of this government.
exhort all good citizens to discountenance
and prevent any such disreputable and criminal
undertaking as aforesaid, charging all officers,
civil and military, having lawfnl power in the
premises, to exercise the same for the purpose
Of maintaining the authority and enforcing the
laws of the United States.
In testimony whereof | have hereunto set
my hand and caused The seal of the United
States to be affixed to these presents.
Done at the city Of Washington, the eighth
day of December, one thousand eight

ence OF the United States the eightieth.

minded men in the country. Without ma
jority, and consequently unable Of and by
themselves to, effect an organization, they have
formed themselves into a compact body and
are standing firmly between the Constitution
and all parties and factions who menace il.
When seventy odd resolute men, incapable Of
treacbery, and Of tried integrity, take such a
stand, and manfuly and perseveringly main
tain il, the lesson cannot be lost upon the
country.
When other parties are split and divided,
they are firm and united. When other parties
are wrangling and crippled by distrusts, suspi-
cions, and jealousies, they harmonic as
brothers and vote as one man. This deter
mined band is not composed Of men from one
neigbborbood or one section, but Of men from
