Somnambulists arc guilty Of o great
many curious freaks, while O great many
are attended with danger, and still others
afford the ground for lots of fun. A
lady and a gentleman in Quincy, Illinois,
had been for q long time betrothed, and
were only waiting for a favorable oppor-
tunity to come around, whom tho twain
would be made n flesh, or th~ereabouts.
The lady is a somnambulist ofthe "high-
est ORDER" very beautiful, very roman
tic, and much addicted to the habit of
novel reading. About u month age the
lady and her lover had spent the even
ing together, and had separated at On
carly hour, the gentleman repairing to
his room some two blocks off, and was
soon asleep, dreaming of the fair creature
who would soon DO his. She, in her
still chamber, by her midnight lamp,
pored over the precious pages Of the
latest new novel. investing, doubtless,
the hero lover with the form and features
of the man who was all in all to her, till
at length,
"The bad all killed and tie good oil pleased,
Her thirsty curiosity nppeased;
She shuts tho dear good book that made her
weep,
Puts out the light, and turns away to sloop."
But ere tho "balmy messenger" has
como to her pillow, imagination again
wanders on the scenes so lately presen.
ted, the various actors start from their
hidings anew, while her ideal heroine
becomes identified with herself, and she
arises. A drawer close by contains
those hidden and delicate mysteries so
carefully prepared for use during the
honeymoon, and re.robing herself, she
starts out, and carefully treading tho
distance that INTERVIEWED between her
own home and that of her lover, she
reaches the door, and hero comes the
mystery. How gained shc admittancc?
But certain it is sho did. She enters
tho chamber of her afiNnced, gently
she lies down beside him, and presently
not a sound is heard save the steady
and even breathing that betokcns sound
and healthy repose.
Daylight came ut last, and MS all
things must have an end, so did this
sweet sleep of innocence and beauty.
The gentleman jumps from the bed and
starcs in alright, thinking he is opprcs-
sed by some horrible nightmare. He
sees tho pillow where two heads have
lain during the night, and beholds the
terrified object of his love, robed in an
| elegant camJre de mutt, her heart palpi-
tating with u thousand throbs Of won
dcrment and horror. "How came !
hcre?" ut last came from her hips. The
words brought the young man to his
senses, and no realized his position, his
di,ha6ille, Mrs. Grundy, and squattcd
down on the floor by the side of the
bed, his head just p~rotruding above, an
explanation followed. "Whnt's to be
done?" With q quickncss Of thought
he conceived how, by one grand coup de
main, to silence suspicion and make all
right. Telling the lady to be quiet a
few moments, he hastily dressed, rushed
frantically to the house of the County
Clerk, told him the circumstances, got
a license, sought a preacher, and they
were married-the lady in her night
gown and he in slippers, pants and
night-shirt.

A valuable site for a branch mint in
San Francisco has been purchased dur
ing the past year, and nm additional
appropriation will be required for the
purpose Of erecting a mint building,
complete in all its appointments, upon
the Pacific coast.
Tho Director Of tho Mint recommends
the opening Of the branch mint at New
Orleans, upon an economical basis, for
the coinage Of nickel-copper pieces.
The branch mint at Charlotte, n. c., is
being repaired and placed in condition
for melting and assaying the precious
metals. 1t will be unnecessary to exc
cute coinage at Denver or Charlotte,
and the branch mints ut these points
should be converted into assay Offices,
and thus expenses reduced.
The Director also recommends the
repeal of the coinage charge, the tax on
bullion, and the redemption Of tho cent
coinage. His remarks upon iuterna-
tional coinage, and his suggestions for
the protection Of gold coins from de-
basement, are worthy of careful eonsid-
Grafton.

TEE Albany Erening Journal wants
Governor Fenton nominated for Vice
President on the ticket with General
Grant. It does not claim for him pre-
eminent or even unusual abilities, but
urges that " he is firm in his convictions
for the right, Of unblcmished personal
integrity, and devoted to those great
principles which lie close to the heart
Of the people," all of which the mass
of Republicans everywhere gladly con-
ceds. 1t further urges chat the nomin-
alton Of such a man is made imperative
by the scandalous administration of
Mr.. johnson. So far as we have been
able to Judge, the majority of tho Re-
publican members Of Congress, by their
vote on impeachment, have destroyed
tho force of this appeal. They have
plainly said the President has done
nothing but what he had an i%ndispusa-
BILE legal right to do.
