probably about four o'clock, he staggered up

the "Union House." and remained seated
there for some time While so seated we

He finally arose up, staggered across the

CLOSE Vorlxa.-The Chicago DEMOCRAT
has been making some calculations from which
voters should draw lesson in IT gard to the
Importance OF every man casting his ballot at
every election, The Illinois House of Repre-
sentatives now stands thirty five to forty, and
the Senate el ven to fourteen. making eight
majority for Douglas on JOINT ballot. In the
county of Madison the Douglas ticket had but
one hundred and ninet, lone maj ority. Thu 5
change of ainety-six votes in Madison coun :
~ would have given Lincoln two more Rep
resentativeS. and would make the House stand
thirty seven to thirty eight. giving Doug las a
majority OF only one in the House. The ma :
jority in Fulton county was but two hundred
and forty hit. a change Of one hundred
and twenty votes in that county would
have given Lincoln a majority of two in the
House. These facts 20 to show the extreme
importance OF having FULL VOTE when any
important question of principle is to be dcci-
ded at a popular election.

The SCIENCE oE GOING TO BED. Tho Garth

The SCIENCE oE GOING TO BED The earth
is a magnet, with magnetic currents CON
stantly playing around it. The human body
is also a magnet, aud when the body is plac-
ed in certain relations to the earth, these
currents harmonizo, when in any other DO
sition they will conflict. When one position
is to be maintained for some time, position
should be chosen in which the magnetic cur
rents of the earth and the body will not con-
flict This position, as indicated by theory,
and known hy experiment, is to lie the head
towards the north pole. Persons who sleep
with their heads in the opposite direction.
or lying crosswise, are liable to fall into va
rious nervous disorders. When they 20
back to the right position, these disorders,
if not too deeply impressed upon the consti-
tuition, soon vanish. Sensitive persons are
always more refreshed by sleep when their
heads point due north. Architects, in plan
ming houses, should bear this principle in
mind.
