E In our tslegraphic news Sunday,
brief mention was made of the death OF
Judge Halliburton, who years ago became
celebrated as the author of .'Sam Slick
andlvarious other amusing works. Judge
Halliburton was native Of Nova Scotia
Early in life he was admitted to the bar,
and no rose through the different grades
Of the profession till he became one of the
Judges of the Supreme Courts of his ma
tive Province. He, however, had pas
sion for literature and even when profess
ional duties pressed on him most heavily
he always managed to find leisure hour
in which to indulge his favorite pursuit.
His first work of any importance was his
History ofNova Scotia,n an able, impair
tial and dignifed production, which es-
tablished his reputation, at least in Pro-
vincial circles. About thirty years ago he
contributed to Halifax newspaper called
the N0oasc0tian, then under the editorial
management of the Hon. Joseph Howe, q
series Of sketches entitled Sayings and
Doings OF Samuel Slick, of slickville."
These sketches, founded on the eccentrici-
ties of Yankee and Provincial character,
became exceedingly popular both in Amer
lea and Europe. Eventually they were
collected and published in book form, and
passed through more editions than any
modern work. "Sam Slick" was followed
by various other works from the same pen
About ten or twelve years ago, Judge Hal
burton removed to England where he per-
manently settled, and eventually he was
elected to seat in the Parliament Of Great
Britain-an unusual honor to colonist.
Though fluent in speech be never became
celebrated as q debater. Of late years his
health failed him, and now he has gone
down to those narrow halls where "the
weary rest,'' at the ripe age of probably
three scoae years and ten. He was an able
jurist, good writer and a worthy man.

SLEEP AND FRESH AHA paper read to
the French Academy of Science by M. Del
bruck, breaches new theory. He thinks
it singular that while all medical men are
unanimous in prescribing everal cubic me-
ters of pure air for each person sleeping IN
q room as absolutely essential TO health,
all animals appear to shun the open air as
much as possible, in order to compose
themselves to sleep. Thus, the lion and
tiger retire to some dark cavern, where the
air is confined; the dog goes to his kennel,
and thrusts his snout under his belly; birds,
to which the open air would appear to be q
necessity, whether asleep or awake, retire
to some private corner, and put their heads
under their wings. Nay what does the
school-boy do when left in dormatory
aired with particular care If he finds he
cannot fall asleep, the first thing he does
is to bury his head among the bed clothes
Hence If, when awake, we must inhale a
certain quantity of This gas during sleep,
just as plants exhale by day the oxygen
they absorb during the night" Halls
Journal OF Health quotes this passage, and,
instead of discussing it philosophicaliy,
vents its Indignation in harsh words.
We have no doubt there is n partial truth
in the suggestion of the French savan.
foIeep Is inc lowering Oh GHG lIHc VI ZIG
body and brain, during which the temper
ature of both, as tested by the thermone1
ter, is lowered. The lungs, during sleep,
take in very much less of air; and itirom
any cause the inspiration of the sleeper Is
as frequent and full as that of the waking
man, his sleep is feveEed and without re-
freshment. If the ordinary air WAS oxy-
genated, person breathing it would hard
ly get any sleep, unless off congcstive sort.
Air in which portion ofthe oxygen has
been consumed would have contrary eff
feet. The phenomena of respiration have
been compared to those Of combustion.
When we wish to put the coal-fire to sleep
over night, we put ashes on it to keep off
the fresh air, or we reduce the draught to
the minimum. If we allow the air to be
deoxygenized the result is the same.
The object of sleep is to suspend many
vital functions, and to retard and give re-
pose to others 1t is not perfect when the
combustion" is lowest; though Of course
there are limitations to such theory. The
Information of polar animals, and the
phenomenon Of the long life of frogs,e to-,
imbedded in stone, which have been I'M
explained, may derive some light from the
theory we have advanced.
