A SoMNAMBULISTI IN A FEARFUL POSITION.
The St. Louis Republican says there is o
young man in that city who has for years
been in the habit of walking in his sleep
whenever anything harassed or distressed
his mind. He came home few evenings
ago much perpleXed about note due him
and which had not been paid, and, after a
light supper and some pleasant conversation
with his family, retired for the night. A
brother who came home about one O'Clock
had occasion to 90 to his room for some
matches, when he found the gas burning
brightly. The somnambulist's bed had been
occupied, and his clothes we're upon chair,
but he was gone. Suspecting the cause, he
went up into the garrett, where he discovered
q trap-door in the roof to be open. lie
looked out upon the roof, and there, seated
upon the furthest and narrow edge Of the
southern wall, was the missing man, with
his hands clasped around one knee, en- dis
hqbule, and the whole attitude expressing
detection. The brother was brave man,
but the sight filled him with horror. The
least start backward, the swerve even OF
half hands breadth, and the somnambu-
list would be dashed to pieces upon the
stones below, three stories sheer down.
Knowing 1t would be instant death if he
awoke him by calling to him, the brother
went down stairs and got rope, made
moose in it, tied one end to the chimney,
and then, by dexterous cast, threw the
rope tightly around his brothers. shoulders,
literally dragging him from his fearful
perch before he became conscious.

blow on her head, and then demanded his
money, and when he refused to hand over
aud attempted to defend himself, struck
him on the head and shot him with pistol

ney the robbers threatened Smithbeck with
death if he didn't show them where it was ;

The VELoClPEDE IN CHICAGO. We
learn from the Chicago Tribune that the
French velocipede has been introduced into
that city, and is likely to become common.
One was recently imported by MIR. Augustus
Wheeler, Of No. 932 Indiana avenue, and
has not only been on exhibition, but can
be witnessed almost every day on the ave-
nues speeding along at a rate almost rival
ling Dexter's fastest time. 1t consists of
two large wheels lightly constructed-a
steering wheel in front, and one behind Of
equal size. The power for propulsion is
applied by the feet, which are placed upon
q treadle attached to the hub of the front
wheel. A bifurcated arrangement, con-
structed of iron or steel, extends from the
hub as high as the breast Of the rider,
seated between the two wheels, who guides
the vehicle by lever worked by the hands.
To acquire proficiency in riding, much
time, care, and patience must needs be ex-
pended but the art once learned IS as fas-
cinating and beautiful even as skating. 1t
can easily be adapted to the use of ladies
by the construction of seat after the style
of side-saddle. 1t is said that by rider
of mediocre experience some fifteen miles
an hour can easily be attained, without tie
slightest danger of capsizing, should care
be exercised. Much is expected Of It, and
that it will become general in use through
out the western States is believed. Its
adoption in opposition to hacks, buggies,
street cars, and like vehicles, will bring
cheap locomotion, as well as give TO the peo-
ple healthful and invigorating exercise.

The Negro Radical Platform in Lou
isiana-Encendiari
NEW ORLEANS, September 5.-Pinch-
beck, the mulatto recently installed in the
place of Jewell (Democrat) as senator from
Orleans, rose to reply to newspaper para
graph concerning him to-day. After
charging the people of New Orleans with
numbering and manifesting disposition to
murder men for their political opinions and
the color of their skin, he uttered the fol-
lowing:
81 want to tell them to beware. want
to tell them they have nearly reached the
end of their string. The next outrage of
the kind which they commit will be the
signal for the dawn Of retribution-a retri-
button of which they have not dreamed-a
signal that will cause 10000 torches to be
applied to this city; for patience will then
have ceased to be virtue, and this city
will be reduced to ashes.'
He was here called to order, but pro-
ceeded to reiterate his threat, adding no.
tification to. the Democratic party that they
(the negroes) proposed to take the matter
into their own hands in future, and pro-
pose to have a peace if they have to con
quer peace.

A NOVEL CARRIAGE-HoRsEs INSIDE
An ingenious idea has just been carried
out successfully in Cincinnati by the con-
struction of one-wheeled carriage, pro
PEELED by the horses being inside. 1t con-
sists of large wooden wheel, fourteen fee,
in diameter and six feet broad, with foot
board for horses to hold. From the axle
are suspended seats for the passengers,
which axle extends on both sides beyond
the wheel, it being only necessary to keep
them balanced. Iron stays from the ex
tremities of the axle are carried over the
top rather in front, which supports the seat
for the person who drives the vehicle, which
is done with the greatest ease, and 1t can
turn in much shorter space than coach.
A successful trial was made recently with
one carrying twenty-four passengers and
two heavy draught horses, previously
trained, as they are entirely unfettered by
harness. A distance Of five miles was per-
formed in twenty-eight minutes. The work
of the horses is easy, as they travel on an
endless plankroad.

METHUsELAH DROWNED IN THE FLOOD.
We make the following extracts from an
article contributed to the Louisville Demo-
crdt: @te
All we know Of the origin of the earth OF
our race we learn from Revelations. The
chronology used by the civilized world is
founded on the dates furnished US in the
Bible. We reckon the date of the flood
from the dates found in the 9Th chapter of
Genesis. We learn from this chapter that
Adam lived before his son Seth was horn
100 years Seth lived before his son Enos
was born 1O5 years; Enos lived before his
son Cainan was born 80 years Cainan lived
before his son Mahalalul was born 10 years !;
Mahalalul lived before his son Jared was
born 65 years Jared lived before his son
Enoch was born 1862 years; Enoch lived be-
fore his son Methuselah (6S7) was born IS
years; Methuselah lived before his son
Lamech was born 1877 years Lamech lived
before his son Noah was born 1872 years.
Noah, hence, was horn Ammo Mundi 1866.
In Genesis, 7th chapter, 9Th verse, we are
informed that Noah was 600 years old when
the food of water was upon the earth. Add
500 years (his age) to ,O56, the date of his
birth, and we have 1856, the date of the
food. We learn from the 9th verse, 9Th
chapter of Genesis, that &" all the days of
Methuselah were $50 years, and he died."
By reference to the foregoing table it will
be seen that Methuselah was born Ammo
Mundi 6S7 add his age, 500, to 6S7, the
date of his birth, and we have 1856, the
time "when the flood of waters was upon
the earth" The conclusion is as certain
as figures that the oldest man WAS drowned
for his wickedness. And is remarkable
proof of the truth of the Bible figures
