about twenty-six years of age, and had
been asleep, as described, about fourteen
years. The existence of this wonderful
case Of coma,s or preternatBral disposition
to sleep. has been doubted by many, but
the fact is indisputable. Indeed, some
twelve months ago Miss Godsey was taken
I TO Nashville md other places for exhibit
ton, but we understand many even of the
physicians of Nashville looked upon the
case with suspicion.
@ The history of the case is, briefly: When
about twelve years of age she was taken
with severe chill and treated accordingly
by her physicians. AS her fever which fol-
lowed her chill subsidized, she fell in deep
sleep, In which condition she has remain
ed ever since except at intervals. 1t was
her custom at first to awake regularly
twice in every twenty-four hours, and,
singularly, within few minutes of the
same hour each day; but of later years she
awoke ofSener, SO much SO that many con-
sidered it an indication of her final re-
covery. She would remain awake five,
ten, or perhaps fifteen minutes. and gradu-
ally drop off again. When asleep it was
utterly impossible to arouse her. She
never complained of any bodily
pain, though when asleep she was
very nervous at times, and appeared to
suffer considerably by the violent twitch-
ing and jerking of her muscles and limbs,
and her hands clenched tightly as if en-
during severe pain, but when awake she
did not appear to suffer, except from
drowsy, gaping inclination and persistent
effort to cleanse her throat of phlegm.-
She generally passed into sleep through
violent paroxlsm, which would last perhaps
five minutes, and she would then sleep
awhile as calmly and quietly as an infant.
Miss Godsey was of medium size, and her
limbs and muscles were we'll proportional
and developed, and grew considerably after
her affection. .. ... 70. s....
Miss Godsey, On the day she died, in
dulged in little prophesying, which we
give as related for what it is worth. She
said g the sun would BIO q total eclipse on
the seventhiof August" (this is remark
able, because parties assert that she could
have no knowledge that this was according
to calculatioD) and that the sun would
never shine as bright after that day. p
That this would indicate the end OF tho
world, which was speedily approaching. -

Raleigh.

During q recent visit to the State Capt.
tai we were agreeably pleased with the
great improvements going on there
throughout the entire business portions OF
the city numerous large and handsome
business houses are being built. Some OF
the stores will almost rival the magnificent
one of the brothers Tucker, which is by
all odds the largest and finest store-room
in the Southern States, so far as our opser-
walton has extended.
MANY beautiful residences have recently
been erected, and old ones improved. In
q word. there is an air of thrift and pros
perity about Raleigh which we have not
heretofore noticed. 1t is the surest evil
dence that the farmers in the middle por-
ton of the State are recovering from their
prostration, for upon their success the
prosperity of Raleigh at present depends.
There is no reason why it should not be
the seat of large and prosperous manufac-
tories and business enterprises, and we
hope that permanent prosperity and large
increase of population will rapidly flow
from it's present prospects.
We were, of course, the guest of Blair,
the well-known host of the Marlborough
Hotel. The good treatment one receives
there gives him kindly feeling for Raleigh,
even were he total stranger to the noble
people and delightful society of that city.

The Governor and the Superintendent oil
Public Works. g..

There are many things which have trans
pired in the meeting of the Stockholders OF
| the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford
Railroad which have demonstrated the sad
progressive spirit of the age" The dis
graceful contest going on between the Gov
ernor and the Superintendent of Public
Works shows the uselessness of the latter
office. and the unftness of both officials.
Personal feelings and fight for the spoils
have assumed proportions which are dam
aging to the progress of great State work
and injurious to the best interests of the
people of North Carolina. An amended
charter, proffered as much in the interests
of party as in aid of the Road, having
been accepted in good faith by the Stock
holders, who had it in their power to de-
feat it, has in great measure been strip
ped of it's benefits by miserable squabble
between contending factions of the party
proposing it.
It is not Our province to decide whether
the Governor or Colonel Harris is right,
nor does it become us to say who is to
blame for the conflict going on between
these two officials. 1t is enough to know
that it is as disgraceful as it is bitter. and
as hurtful as it is disgraceful. This we
do know, that the unreasonable and un-
justifable hostility of the Governor to the
material welfare of the entire Southeastern
portion of the State, as evinced in his ap-
pointment of Directors for this Road, has
given force and character to the claims of
the Superintendent Of Public Works The
question, we suppose, must eventually be
settled before the proper judicial tribunal,
and until then the Road, deprived of the
aid of the State and robbed of its own
credit, must languish.
We are, indeed, beginning to reap the
bitter fruits of Radical rule. -

A VERY KIND ACT.-A number Of south
ern citizens, dreading the apprehended op-
pressions to which they might be subjected
after the war, exiled themselves from their
native land and sought homes in some of
the South American States. Many Of them
went to Brazil, where they are now in
great poverty and anxious to return. The
United States Government has, with a
promptness and liberality worthy Of all
praise, directed Admiral DAVIS to furnish
free transportation on a Government vessel
to any Of such citizens who may desire to
"come home." This is signal instance
Of elemency and kindness, and is decidedly
in the line Of "peace."
We deeply feel for our self-exiled fellow
citizens. We always opposed their views,
and urged them TO remain here. 1t is
vastly better to live through the period of
prostration and trial at home than to incur
the suderings and sorrows Of vain effort
to live and thrive among strangers. The
intermediate period between war and peace
will soon end, when We can all get along.
Even that period is not SO bad as are the
trials Of our poor friends now SO far away.
