Dcn.b Tor want of sleep.

How long can one live without sleep?
The question we have never seen an
swered. But an authentic communica-
ton has been made to a British society
whose field of operations are in Asia,
descriptive of a punishment which is
peculiar to the original code ofChina.-
1t appears from this communication,
that a Chinese merchant had been con-
victed of numbering his wife, and was
sentenced to die by being totally de-
prived of the privilege of going to sleep.
This singular and painful mode ofquit-
ting an earthly existence was carried
into execution at Annoy, under the fol-
lowing circumstances. The condemned
was placed in prison, under the care of
three of the police guard, who relieved
each other every alternate hour, and
who prevented the prisoner from falling
asleep for a single moment, night or
day. He thus lived for nineteen days
without enjoying any sleep. At the
commencement of the twentieth day his
sufferings were so cruel that he implor-
ed the authorities to grant him the
blessed opportunity of being strangula-
ted, garroted, quartcrcd, shot, blown up
with gunpowder, or put to death in any
conceivable way which their humanity
or ferocity could invent. This will give
us some idea of the horror of dying be-
cause you cannot go to sleep.

What: tho MOrmOns think and
say OF Governor Cumming.


An Utah correspondent of the New
York Times gives some scenes which
occurred in Salt Lake City, when the
Governor got there. The Governor
made some gallant remarks about hav.
ing the ladies on his side, w~hereupon
the elder John Young in a sermon the
following Sunday, made the following
playful allusion to it:
"The old scoundrel got up and said
he wanted the ladies on his side, and
d--n him that is all they do want
His speech was something like the one
Brocchus made. When he came out
here he said in the Tabernacle, that he
wanted the ladies on his side, and it
was hard work for Brother Brigham to
keep the people from cutting his throat
the moment he left the pulpit. The
Lord has fought our battles so far, and
he will fight them again, and so we'll
In Provo city, on the Sunday follow
ing Cummings visit there, Brigham, in
a serman, spoke as follows:
Gov. Cumming has been here and
promised the people protection. In
deedl but the poor, lousy old curse can't
protect himself, much less anybody
else. Why, 1 have to send a guard
around with him to keep the people
from cutting his throat. Subsequently
he stated that Salt Lake City was his
individual property-he would burn it
down tomorrow. He had moved the
people all south, however, soon as the
troops should approach it. He told the
people however to keep perfectly quiet;
to settle down in the southern settle
ments to which they had removed, cul-
tivating their crops; and in sixty days
or as soon as Colonel Kane could go to
Washington and back, he could tell
them whether they were to remain in
the valley or leave it.

Hon Charles summer.

The Tribune of the 18th, devotes
nearly a column to q labored defence OF
this gentleman, and the last childish
letter written by him to his constituents,
prior to his leaving this cuontry on anotb-
err tour, at the expense of his country,
We think it quite time that this stale
nonsense about Mr.. Summer and his
injuries should have an end; and; IT the
editors. of the Tribune only lived In our
everyday world, instead of Brisbaue,s
Utopia, they would soon learn that this
most ridiculous of humbugs fairly stlnks
in the n~ostrils of the American people.
Charles Sumner is rapidly acquiring the
reputation of a charlatan, who preceded
by his servant in motley, with a trum-
pet and drum, cries injuries and suffer
ing in the cause of freedom, as salcable
wares, for the purpose ofputting money
in his purse. If the Tribune is DESTROYS
of blowing that trumpet, we have no
special objections, but we do demure
to false notes. Charles Sumner was not
courteous at the very outset OF his SEN
atorial career. He commenced with an
assumption of "mental cultivation and
scholarship" which he deemed sufficient
to overshadow all his compeers. He ex-
hibited an amount of pedantic conceit
especially distasteful to all who were
compelled to assoc ate with hin and
was constantly thrusting his opinions
and his views, in season; upon the Sen
ate. For these he was viewed with con-
tempt by many of his fellow senators.
Charles Sumner did assail private
character; and in the most venomous
manner For this he was foolishly as
saulted by a hot headed young man;
but NOT s'beaten bloody, senseteSs, to the
rerge of the Craze" We saw him five
minutes after the fiogging was admins
tered, and he was then conversing as
nationally as can any one of the editors
of the Tribune.
This quackery has gone far enough,
and our opinion is that, if Mr.. Summers.
vacant chair is a perpetual speech" to
his constituents, it will have the effect
of warming them against the reelection
of a man who absepts himself from Sen
ate, and neglects the duties which he is
paid to perform, on the plea ofill- health,
he claims to have been the result
of injuries no greater than are every day
received by little boys in their street
fights, and from which they recovered
by the application of a mud plaster.
We have no quarrel with Mr.. Sum-
ner, but we confess ourselves slckened
by these persistent attempts on the part
of n portion of the public press to pre-
sent as a martyr one who is simply a
political humbug Standby Atlas.

COMMON SENsE.-A boy from the old
country was recently taken into a gentle
mans family. One evening, after hav-
ing been called up to the drawing-room,
he came down into the kitchen, laughing
heartily.
"What's the matter?' asked the cook.
"Why," said he, "there are twelve on
'em up there who couldn't snuff the can
die, and they had to ring for me to do
it"
