China at Gettysburg.

Among the killed at Gettysburg was a
young Chinaman, known as John Tommy.
He was attached to the lst regiment Elk
nelsior brigade, Capt Prices company.
John Tommy was the only representative
of the Central Flowery Kingdom in The
Army of the Potomac, and was widely
known both from that circumstance and
certain peculiarities Of his own. John
Tommy came 70 this country Immediately
after the breaking out of the war, aud was
induced to enlist in Gen. Sickles' brigade,
1T the time being raised in this city. lie
was then mere lad, entirely ignorant Of
our language. Being bright, smart and
honest, he soon became fayorite at BED
Hook, Staten Island, and was at once the
butt and the wit of the whole regiment.
Before he became located on the Maryland
shore of the Potomac opposite Acqula
Creek, in one of the reconnaissance on The
south side of the river, Tommy was taken
prisoner and soon became a lion in the rebel
camp. He was brought before Gen. Mag
Tuder, who, surprised at his appearance
and color, asked him was he mllatto,
Indian, or what? When Tommy told him
he was from China, Magruder was much
amused, and asked him how much he
would take 60 Join the confederate army.
"Not unless you make me Brigadier Gen.
said Tommy, to the great delight of the Sc
eesh officers who treated him very kindly
and sent him to Fredericksburg. Here
Tommy became great lion, and his pic
lure was published in the Fredericksburg
papers. Subsequently he was sent 10 the
Libby Prison, Richmond, where he met
bis captain, Benjamin Price, who had been
taken prisoner at Williamsburg. After
bis parole Tommy came to New York city,
where he employed his time in attending
upon his sick and wounded comrades. He
was the kindest of the nurses, and spent his
little means providing delicacies for his sick
felowsoldieFs. In thesubsequent engage
ments at Fredericksburg, Charlottesville
and last at Gettysburg. John Tommy was
one of the bravest soldiers in that b~avest
of brigades, the Excelsior. He seemed not
to know what fear, was and was the univer-
sal favorte of bis fellow soldiers. lie had
not been wounded up to Gettysburg, but
in Fridays fight he was struck by she'll
which tore both legs at the thighs, and he
shortly bled to death. The company be
was in went into action with twenty eight
nen, and lost twenty in killed and woun1ed.
Tommey's case is PECULIAR as he was the
only representative Of the empire of China
in the finest army on the planet-N. Y

PowER OF SLEEP.-The most violent
: assion and excitement, cannot keep ven
powerful minds from sleep. Alexander The
Cheat on Tie field of Arbela, and Napoleon
uJon that Of Austerlitz Even stripes and
.6rtpre cannot keep off sleep, as criminals
have been known to give way on the rack.
Noises, which at first serve to drive it
away, soon become indispensable to exist
ence; thus stage coach stopping to change
horses, wakes all The passengers. The pro.
prietor Of a forge, who slept close to the din
OF hammers, forges, and blast furnaces,
would wake if there was any interruption
to them during the night; and a sick miller
who had his mill stopped on that account,
passed sleepless nights until the mill resum-

gantly represents sleep as overcoming all
men, aud even the gads.

A GRAVE W4THouL A MONUMENT
The sea is the largest Of cemeteries, and all
its slumbers sleep without monument.
All other graveyards, in all lands show some
distinction between the great and the small,
the rich and the poor; but in that ocean,
cemetery, the king and the clown, the
prince and the pheasant are alike undis-
tinguished. The same wave rolls over all
the requium, by the minsIresly Of the ocean
is snug to their honor Over their remains
the same storms beat. and the same sun
shines; and there, unmarked, the weak and
the powerful, the plunlad and the unhonor
ed will sleep on until, awakened by the
trump the sea will give up It's dead.
No marble rises to point out whore their
ashes are gathered. Yet The cenetary
hath ornaments of which NO other can boast.
On no other the heavenly orbs reflected in
such splendor--Over no other is heard such
nobel melody.

How MIsT is GENERATED.-The pro-
duction of mist is the subject Of note by
the veteran DR.. John Dayy (brother Of Sir
Humphrey in the Edinburg Philosophical
Journal. The cause usually assigned for
mist is the access Of cold air, and its admix-
ture with warm air saturated with moisture,
such as that reacting on the surface of large
bodies Of water owing to the heat absorb
ed during the summer. is Of a higher tenn
perature than the infowing air.
DR.. Davy, however, refers to another
cause, not SO much noticed, viz: mild
moist air, coming in contact with colder
air, equally humid, resting on cold surfaces,
whether on land or water, about the end Of
winter or beginning offspring. He describes
mist, which he considers to have been thus
formed in the lake district of Cumberland.
TO similar cause, also, he refers the
phenomenon termed sweating, which is the
precipitation Of moisture on walls and flag
ged floors excluded from the influence Of
the fre-He also attributes to warm
south wind, succeeding very cold north
wind, the deposition Of very large guam
tity Of moisture in the gallery of a noble
man in Deyonshire, anu quotes the saying
in Homer "The south wind wraps the
mountain top 10 INST"
