of military necessity. and so he broke for the

Curiosity OF sssccgs.

In Turkey, if man falls asleep in the
neighborhood of a poppy field, and the wind
blows toward him, he becomes narcotilrd
and would die, if the country people, who
are well acquainted with the circumstances.
do not bring linn to the next well or stream
and empty pitcher after pitcher of water on
his face and body. DR.. Appcnhcim, during
his residence in Turkey, owed his life To-
this simple and cfcacious treatment. Dr.
Graves, from whom this anccdOtr is quoted.
also reports the case of gentleman thirty
years OF age, who from long continued
scepncss, was reduced to complete living
skeleton, unable to stand ON hi. lrgs II
was partly owing to disease, but chiefly to
the abuse Of opium; until at last. unable 20
pursue his business, h. sank into ahicct
poverty and woe. Dr. Reid mentions Il
friend Of his who, whenever anything occur
red to distress him, soon became droN-v
and fell asleep. \ student at Edmburrh,
upon hearing suddenly of the unexpected
death of Il near relative, threw himself on
his bed, and almost instantanuouslv amid
the glare Of MONDAY, sunk into profound
slumbCr. Another person reading to one Of
his dearest friends stretched on his death
bed, fell fast asleep, and with the book still
in his hand, went on reading. utterly uncon-
-ciOus of what he was doing 4 woman OF
Hamadt slept seventeen or eighteen hours
day for fifteen years. Another is recorded
to have slept four days. Dr. Macnish men
tiOns a woman who spent three tourths of
her life in sleep, and DR.. Elliottson quotes Il
case Of young lady who slept for six weeks
and recovered. The venerable St. Auglls-
tine, of Hippo, prudcntly divided his hours
into three parts-eight to be devoted to
sleep, eight to meditation, and eight to
converse with the world. Maniacs are
reported, particularly in the eastern hemis-
phcrc, to become flriously yigilant during
the full Of the moon, more especially when
the dcteriorating rays Of its polarized light
are permitted to fall into their departments,
hence the name Of lunatics. There certainly
is greater proncncss to disease during sleep
than in the walking state, for those who
pass the night in the Campagna Iii Roma
inevitably become infected with its noxious
air; while travellers who go through with
out stopping, escape the miasma. Intense
cold produces sleep, and those who perish
in the snow, sleep on till the sleep Of death.

APPEARANCE OF THE COUNTRY.

APPEARANCE OF THE COUNTRY.
have been here two days, and a century
tccbly expresses the real length of my stay.
! had some notion of accompanying the
army in its overland trip to Little Rock,
but my experience has driven all such insane
thoughts out of my head. Such wrctchcd,
God-torsakcn oven never conceived before.
Imagine Il long prairie, at the present stage
Of water, about twenty feet above the Level
of the river, half mile in breadth. and of
indefinite length, and covered with six
inches Of impalpabe dust under cover of
which some one hundred and fifty suffers,
some two thousand white men, five hundred
mule teams, and ten thousand negroes move
mistily about, hiding their deeds Of dark
ness. There are a few scattered houses,
mostly of wood, all constructed with a due
regard to the circulation Of air and dust.
The dust takes a very ungentlemanly advan-
tage Of the opportunity, and forces its un-
welcome presence into the most sacred
shrine. When the soldiers first came, and
some are no better now, they were tcartully
ragged, but dust and perspiration made Il
very good substitute for clothing. Every
| thing is literally painted with dust. Nobody
prctends to try to keep clean, Not breath
of fresh air is to be had for love or money.
THE HOTEL.
Yes, my friends, there is hotel in Helena.
1t is Il two-story house, just behind the dus-
tcst part of the leyee, and has one cool
r!a2" about 1.-THE open hall from front to
rear of the house, in the second story. The
! dining-room is low, hot, ricketty old
! kitchen. The fare consists of roast pork,
boiled ham, some very good vegetables,
since they are not cooked in cistern water,
in which you can perceive, with the naked
eye, large and well selected assortment OF
bugs, mostly of brilliant red color and
innumerable legs drink, said to be coffee,
but which | should call a dCCoction of tan
bark and dish-water, and flies Gd IbaUm.-
The landlord is Major somebody, very large
and fat, and is always swearing at niggers.
He is rank Secessionist, and has "mutl-
tash on his face" His daughters would be
pretty, but that they dip snuff, chew tobac-
co, and bang from morning to night on a
wheezy, snorting old piano of the year one,
and tuned last at the foundation of Rome.
The old lady is as fat as her lord and mas
ter, talks like ayes, like tr0 nigger
wonches, and can lie like Jew. For all
this entertainment you pay two dollars and
half day. There is no other hotel in the
place, which is surely a mercy, if they were
all like the Commercial.
