The STRANGE REBEL BATTLE-CRY.-Of all the
ptterances proceeding from the human voice,
the cry which the rebels deliver on going into
action is certainly the most indescribable, and
one of the longest to be remembered among the
"reminiscences of campaigning Who that lis
tened to it can ever forget the APPALLING yell
which the Confederates uttered in the charge on
Hancocks brigade at Williamsburg afterward
during the onslaught on Davidsons command
at Golden Farms; later still, when Hooker was
temporarily driven back at Andetam, and on
that memorable afternoon when, as the conflict
from the woody crest below Fredericksburg, at
tempted to capture Howes batteries. Imagine
concatenation of equine, canine, bovine, por-
cine and gallinaceous utterances, with an In
dian warwhoop thrown in, and you have an ap-
proximate conception of this howl, yclept the
rebel battle-cry. How or where it originated
we are at loss to conceive. Perhaps General
Lee, or whoever he may be, some time at the
commencement of the war, stumbled upon and
forthwith proceeded to profit by a suggestion Of
Jeremy Golfers, wherein, after descanting up
on the inspiring effects of martial music in bat
tie, he wondered whether some kind Of anti
music could not be invented, (which should
have quite the contrary effect" adding, "Tis
possible the roaring of lions, the warbling of
cats and screech-owls, together with mixture
Of the bowling of dogs tudiciOusly initiated
and compounded, might go a great way in this
invention

A MAN WHO HAS NOT SLEPT FOR OVER Four
TEEN YEARs.--At present there is soldier at
the Chestnut Military Hospital who has not
slept fer a single moment for fourteen years and
six months. This may seem incredulous but
nevertheless it is true, and can be verified by
numbers of persons. The individual is an in
tellgent man naturally and has the benefit of
a moderate education. His name is G. D. Saun-
ders, orderly sergeant of Co. g., Thirteenth
Virginia Volunteers. He entered the service of
the United States, December 28, 1868. He is in
the 45th year of his age. His health has been
generally excellent during his life. In l849 he
was attacked with cholera, and since that period
with lung fever on two occasions. In the sum-
mer of 1850 sleep forsook him, and since that
time he has never felt the least drowsy. He has
always led a temperate life. His wife and chill
dren reside in Putnam county, West Virginia.
Since he entered the Union army he has been
on seven raids and in four charges, during
which time he informs us that he never felt
tired or sleepy. He was in the four charges
made beyond Harper's Ferry, Va, on the H. l8,
l9 and goth of last August, and yet did not feel
the least sleepy. Why it is that he cannot or
does not sleepis as much mystery to him as it
is to many scientific gentleman, who, having
their attention called to him. have been astound-
ed in their attempts to investigate the cause.
Upon one occasion, at his request number
of curously inclined gentlemen watched him.
for forty-two days and nights consecutiyely, in
order, if possible, to arrive at the cause of the.
wonderful phenomenon. These gentlemen took
turns with other in the progress of watching, so
that if he should chance to sleep it would be
observed. Some of the watchers became drow
sy, and it was as much as he could do to ava
ken them.
This singular man was sent to Philadelphia
by order of the field surgeon. He was admitted
into the hospital at Chesnut Hill on the nth of
November last suffering from chronic diarrh@a
and rheumatism. He has nearly recovered from
his physical disability; his appetite is good yet
be does not sleep. He retires to bed the same
as other soldiers, but cannot sleep. He simply
receives physical rest. This brief narrative of
a most wonderful phenomenon may seem fabu-
lous, but the writer is assured that it is the
truth.-PhiLa. Press.

er On the 4th of August he entered den con-
tanning lion and lioness, and made them go
through various performances. The spectators
loudly applauded. Elated by these plaudits,
Souages determined to do something more ex-
traordinary, and for that purpose he collected
in one den lion, lioness, white bear, two
black bears, four hyenas, two wolves and IT,
ger He then entered himself whip in hand,
but the door was scarcely closed when the tiger
made a spring at the white bear. This was the
signal for terrible struggle between all the
beasts, who appeared at once to recover al their
natural ferocity. Soulages, hoping to intimi-
date the animals, fred two pistol shots at the
tiger and white bear. This act sealed his fate,
for Che tiger, leaving the bear, sprang on his
keeper, threw him down and began to tear him
with teeth and claws. The other beasts, made
furious by the smell of blood, all fell on the
unhappy man, and in a few minutes he was torn
to pieces, and almost entirely devoured, in the
presence Of the horror-struck spectators, who
were powerless to render assistance.

Death in the wall.

The Peoples Journal of Health has an arti-
Gle with this fearful title, which is attack on
double layers of wall paper The writer says:
"a good clean paper is certainly more pleasant
Ito the eye than fssured and smutty wall,
whose scales of lime are continually pealing off,
and soiling every garment that comes in contact
with it. And if proper selection of paper is
stuff beneath it, it is not only more pleasant to
the sense, but it is almost equal to the whitened
wall But here is the difficulty. As general
rule, one coat of paper is put on over another,
as the last gets too much soiled to look well,
until several layers cover the original surface,
thus often producing an actual cause of disease.
a few years ago we occupied house built
some twenty years before in the old English
style, strong and solid, SO that it seemed almost
as good as, or better even, than new. We were
gravely told that one room in it had seemed to
be fatal to its occupants, hence for several years
it had stood vacant. One of the first things
which received attention was this ill-reputed
apa: tment. It was a north room, so situated
that few slanting rays Of sunlight peered into
a corner of it short time oaly portion of the
year, entirely avoiding it for months together.
Well, here surely was one cause of its unhealth-
fulness, but not enough After the cobwebs
were duly brushed out, we searched further. A
good sized FIRE place and two large windows af-
fording entirely sufficient chance for ventila-
ton, so we could not look there for the evil
The walls next received attention. They were
covered with a heavy velvety green paper; but
not only this, for upon pealiug off section with
knife, another green layer was found beneath
it, and beneath this another, and yet another.
The mystery was solved The cause of the evil
was evident Nothing would have induced us
to sleep in that apartment. None could tell bow
much of the element of disease that thickly pa
pered wall had retained None knew how much
of death there was in that wall 1t seemed as
ifit gave out positively sickening odor, now,
and its entire removal speedily followed. There
after, though not so desirable as some others, it
ceased to have any hidden dangers or terrors,
lurking to poison the fountain of life.
1t is safe rule to choose patterns of wall pa
per without green colors, especially those heavy
greens which so please the eye; for they contain
an active poison, inimical 70 life and it is al
ways highly improper to place one paper over
another. Better submit to the dirt and annoy
ance of having the last and solid paper removed,
than to expose yourselves to the chances of dis
ease and death through its retention"
