The sIccpIest Man In the World.

He is Montanian, and typo. We
have known him frequently 10 drop into
q sound ssnooze while standing at his
case "distributing," and with half a
take" of matter in hand. AS com
positor, he usually takes q nap at the end
Of each sentence, Gas often in the broad
day as any other time), TO be aroused
therefrOm only by sneeze from one of
the boys, or from some other unusual
sound. If not particularly hungry, or en-.
gagged in exciting conversation with the
fellow opposite, he invariably sleeps
between his courses, while at his meals.
The other day, at noon, he started down
the stairs of the office to go to his "hash,"
and after reaching the doorway leading
TO the street, he suddenly yielded to
Morpheus, leaned up against the broad
door jam, and enjoyed a profound nap,
until some sound or jar awakened him,
and, having dreamed that he had actually
been to dinner and tarried longer than
usual, drew forth his toothpicl, and hur-
ried up stairs again, where he nervously
rubbed his hands, hastily finished picking
his teeth, ierked off his coat, and went to
work. All these things we have seen
ourself; but his room mates and intimate
brother members OF the craft tell us that
on diverse occasions after retiring to his
room to go to bed, he would get off his
hat, perhaps one boot, and while con-
templating the exertion necessary to finish
the job of undressing would actually set
to dozing, and be found next morning
still sitting in his chair, with his legs
crossed, arms folded, his head inclined to
one side, and snoring like n porpoise.- -

He. exhibits at times rare felicity OF
language. His words generally come
slowly, but they are always TO the point,

says there is a adiversity of opinion among
gardeners as to the injury or benefit which

ling, was an advocate for shallow digging
II is just possible that his soil Yves rather
light, and that as the strawberry delights
to grow in a tenacious.oT good loamy soil,
he objected TO deep digging for fear Of
loosening the subsoil. In the neighbor-
hood Of Enfield, whence the London mar
kets are supplied annually with large
quantities Of fruit, the ground between the
rows is deeply dug, and allowed to re-
main rather rough, 80 that the soil thus
