A Man Who has not Slept for Over Four
teen Years.

At present there is a soldier at the
Chestnut Hill Military Hospital, Phila-
delphia, who has not slept fora single mo-
meut for fourteen years and six months
This may seem incredible, but neverthe-
less, it is true, and can be verified by
numbers of persons. The individual is an
intelli lent man, naturally, and has the
benefit Of moderate education. His
name is G. d. Saunders, Orderly Sergeant
of Company g, Thirteenth Virginia WI
nnteers. He entered the service of the
United States on December %, 1863
He is in the forty fifth year Of his age
His health has been generally excellent
during his life.
III lS40 he was attacked with cholera,
and since that period with lung fever on
two occasions. In the Summer of 1850
sleep forsnok him, and since that time he
has never felt the least drowSv. H. has
always lei u temperate life. His wife and
cillren reside in Putnam County, West
Virgins. STAGE he tered the Union
army he has been on seven raids, and four
charges, during which time he informs US
that he never felt tired or sleepy. He
was in the four charges made beyond Har.
per's Ferry, Va, on the llth, 18Th, 18th
aud 2Oth Of last August, aud yet did not
feel the least sleepy. Why it is that he
cauuot or does not sleep is as much a mys-
terry to him as it is t. many scientific gen.
tlemen, who, having had their attention
pnli,l To him, hnua ham tol =,
their attempts to investigate the cause.
Upon oue occasion, at his request,
number of a cnrously,inclincd gentlemen
watched him for forty-two days aud nights
consecutively, in order, if possible, to ar.
rive at the cause of the wonderful pheno-
menon. These gentlemen took turns with
each other in the progress of watching, 50
that if he should chance to sleep it would
be observed. Some of the Watchers be.
came drowsy, and it was as much as he
could do to awake them.
This singular man was sent to Philadel-
phla by order of the field surgeon He
was admitted into the Hospital at Chest
nut Hill on the 18th of November last,
suffering from chronic dlarrhea and rheu-
matism. He has nearly recovered from
physical dis .bility; his appetite IS good,
but yet he he does not sleep He re-
tires to bed, the same rs other soldiers,
but he cannot sleep. He simply receives
physical rest. This brief narrative of
must wonderful phenomenon may seem
fabulous, but the reader is assured that it
is the truth.

A Dinner Of Eighteen Hundred Years
Ago.

The citizens of ancient Pompeii knew
What was good. They relisbed roast pig.
\ family in that arls:ocratic city, one oil
he +. f P.'s, PEI haps, were about to dine
n tho rich and succulent dish, on the
iery day that the restless Titan under
Mount Vesuvius expectorated from his
'iery lungs the shower of redhot ashes
which entombed the Poupeiians in their
dwellings,. The pig was being cooked,
nd was probably nearly done AT the time
shen the volcanic storm burs.ed in and
poiled it.
This is not matter Of con- lecture,
reader, for on y a few weeks ago a mass
f indurated lava aud ashes were found in
. stew-pau standing in cooking stove in
he kitchen Of a house recently dlslnterred
nd on opening the lump a perfect mould
ia sucking parker WIS disclosed. 4 cast
Sas taken Of the hollow, and the result
vas fac simle in plaster of the little an.
NAL, which had been trussed III scientific
,tyle, ana is supposed, from the shape Of
the matrIx, to have been just ready fol
the table. The inquisitive antiquarisns
re continually poklng their noses into
little domestic secrets of the PompciianS
Of eighteen centuries ago, which the people
of the excavatcd neighuorhood would have
hesitated to tell to Que another.

ENGLISH ANTIQUAR1ES.-Ag good joke
on the English antiquaries appears in The
London Reader; it reminds one of Dick.
enss celebrated account of the discovery
of "Bill Stumps, His Mark" When the
British Association went to Stonehenge,
last summer, their attention was attracted
by certain marks on the under surface of
the impost Of the great central triiitb, or
what may be regarded as the keystone to
the temple.
They were not unlike Roman V and 1
combined, and appeared to resemble either
an astronomical symbol, or some ancient
masons' mark An animated discussion
took place thereon. Professor Rawlinson
denied that the marks could be anything
but Roman; observing, however, that hs
should not think it necessary to conclude
that Stonehenge was eresed at times sub.
sequent to the Roman invasion, The gem
tIe,nen who lectured on Stonehenge "weat
in" for their remote antiquity. But very
recently, there have appeared rustic
sohool,master, pumpkin shepherd Of
Salisbury Plain, and fellow-lAborer, who
distinctly assert that they were present
when the marks were msdo--about foyty.
five years ago.
