Death from want of Sleep.

The question, how long can person ex-
ist without sleep? is one oftener asked than
answered, and the difficulties of answering
the question by experiment would seem to
leave it forever unsolved. A communica-
ton to British Society would seem to an
swer the inquiry, in description of cruel
mode of punishment peculiar to the Chi
nese A Chinese merchant had been con-
victed Of numbering his wife, and was SEN
fenced to die by being deprived of sleep.
This painful mode of death was carried in
to execution under the following circum-
stances
The condemned was placed in prison un-
der the care of three Of the policeg guard
who relieved each other every alternate
hour, and who prevented the prisoner from
falling asleep night or day. He thus lived
for nineteen days without enjoying any
sleep. AT the commencement of the eighth
day his sufierings were so intense that he
implored the authorities to grant him the
blessed opportunity of being strangulated,
guillotined, burned to death, drowned gar
roted, shot, quartered, blown up with gun
powder, or put to death in any conceivable
way which their humanity or ferocity could
invent. This will give slight idea of the
horrors of death from want of sleep.

A Picture.

Fifteen years ago we were a school boy
with promising lad, who was the pride Of
his adopted parents, and gave more than
ordinary promise Of future success and
usefulness. Five years since we learned OF
his successful establishment in the mercan-
tile business in Boston, with the utmost conf
dence Of the community as salsz'aas.-. -..-l
iinancier, and with a business of ten thous-
and year.
A few months since we met, in the streets
of Montpelier, familiar, face but one which
avoided our gaze. A week later, we heard
Of his confinement in his room at the Union
House. where his non-apperance had caused
inquiry after him. The door of his room
was forced apen and he was found lying in
the worst stages of detirium tremenS. His
trunk near by was filled with brandies, TO
which he crawled and returned. He part
ly recovered to feel the consciousness of
his condition-to find himself the victim of
a terrible appetite, a ruined man, his snug
fortune squandered or at loose ends, and
creditors at prey over its ruins. A few
weeks since we chronicled his death. His
excuse was that the Doctor prescribed the
damnable stuff and he could not resist its
potent sway,
The above is true picture. How

which he charged him with stealing ne
groes and franking dress to his wife. The
southern men gathered round him and spur
red him on. When he had concluded, he

would be imagined; but Mr.. Black did not
so regard it, and coming round TO within

owner of a large but usually good-natured
dog, drove into town on the day stated

Tiger fell into bad company and a regular

unawares, the countryman's dog seemed
hardly to comprehend whether it was a

sort of play Of village hounds until he
found himself in throat to mouth contest
with regular fighting character, in the
shape of a trained bulldog, and getting the
worst of it. His master, however, by this
time comprehended the nature of the muss,
and springing from his wagon, caught the
bulldog by his narrative and endeavored
TO separate the combatants.

Convention, to assemble in Richmond on the
l4th of September. This Convention is in,
tended as a prelude to National Conven-
ton, intended to be held hereafter, with the
view Of collecting and harmonizing and or
ganizing the conservative Union sentiments
of the country, opposed alike to the ageres-
sive and sectional dogmas and unconstitu-
tional designs which obtain, in greater or
less degree, in both the Democratic and the
Republican parties, and utterly opposed to
the party now in power, its aiders, abettors,
and supporters. We presume this will be
called the Convention of Conservatives.

THE WIRE WORKERS DErEArED.-The re

THE WIRE WORKERS DEFEATED.-The re-
suit of the convention in Spencer, last
Saturday, affords gratifying proof of the de-
cline of the influence of party managers.
The ruling clique of politicians called a
meeting of the masses, with the programme
Of the proceedings written out, and the names
of their favorites inserted in their respective
places, with the expectation of going through
the farce of getting them endorsed in the
usual way by the multitude without opposi-
ton or inquiry. But to the chagrin and
modification of the old wire pullers, few
men were present with independence enough
to demand free discussion and independent
expression of the sentiments of the meeting
to oppose theircut and dried proceedings, and
upon the merits of the candidates. This did
not suit the schemes Of the managers, and
rather than tolerate any freedom of action,
they broke up the meeting in a row. II
was q signal defeat of King Caucus, and
shows that the reign of the caucusites IS
coming to an end. 1t afforded most con-
elusive evidence that the masses of the party
are determined not to submit any longer to
the gross impositions and tyranny OF the
party leaders. The candidates in Spencer,
this season, viii all run as independents,
and each one will depend on his own merits
for success.

B6-Gen. Cas- is really wonderful man.
The Washington States thus describes him:
As we were passing along under that shady
archway of green branches eastward Of La
fayette Square, the other evening, We met
the venerable chief of the State Department,
walking as briskly and erectly as a young
soldier just crowned with victory. He was
dressed in loose summer suit, and looked
SO blithe and happy that we could not forego
stopping him in his promenade, and telling
hmm how hale and hearty he was. As usual
he was most pleasant. Gen. Cass is always
so. We know no man so urbane in his de-
pertinent or so ready in speech. He really
appears, when in animated conversation, as
a well preserved man of fifty, although he
has seen his three-score and ten years.

that no frank on mail matter can be allowed
to pass through the post office, except such as
shall be in the handwriting Of the person
entitled to use it. The documents trans
mitted under frank written by clerk
or employee of members of Congress, have
been returned to the parties mailing them.
The Republican Central Committee at WASH

of political documents, under the frank OF
Mr.. Coyode, NJ. c., from Pennsylvania, in
the post Office at Washington, and the Dep
uty Post Master of that city refused to for
ward them on the ground that the frank
had been written by clerk. Mr.. Covode
was present and acknowledged the frank to
be his, but, as it was written by another, the
Deputy Post Master persisted in refusing to
mail them. An appeal was taken to the
Post Master General, who sustained the Dep
uty in his decision; and so the Republican
documents were refused passage through
the U. s. mail. 81

4. Douglas in which he earnestly appeals
20 him to declare himself an independent
candidate for the Presidency, regardless OF
