Curious Cases of somnambuIism.


The Archbishop of Bordeaux thus
describes q case of somnambulism in a
young priest: He was in the habit OF
writing sermons when asleep, and al
though a card was placed between his
eyes and the notebook, he continued
to write vigorously. After he had
written page requiring correction, a
piece of blank paper of exact size was
substituted for his own manuscript,
and on that he made the corrections in
the precise situation which they would
have occupied on the original page. A
very astonishing part of this is that
which relates TO his wiring music in
his sleeping state, which it is said he
did with perfect precision. He asked
for certain things, and saw and heard
such things, but only such things as
bore directly upon the subject of his
thoughts. He detected the deceit when
water was given to him in place of
brandy which he asked for. Finally
he knew nothing of all that had trans
pired when he awoke, but in his next
paroxism he remembered all accurate
ly-and so lived a sort of double life,
phenomenon which is said to be uni
versal in all the cases of exalted SOM
nambulism.
The Troy IN. Y. } Times reports the
following curious case: A farmer re-
siding in Bristol, Ontario county, in
this State is somnambulist. One day
while working in field he lost an iron
tooth from the harrow with which he
was putting in his wheat crop. He
hunted an hour to find it, but was un-
successful. During the ensuing night
he arose from his bed, partially dressed
himself and started out. The night
was very dark; one of his boys fol-
lowed him with lantern. He kept up
a running talk with himself about the
"drag tooth" He walked in a straight
line to the field where he had been la
boring, perhaps quarter of mile
from his residence. Arriving at cer-
tain point he stopped short, kicked
away some earth and brought forth
the missing tooth! Then turning square
around he proceeded directly to his
home. Arriving at the door he per-
formed the feat of lifting the heavy
stone step, which required the COM
bined strength of himself and another
man to raise the next morning. He
threw the iron under the step, let down
the stone easily, saying "there you are
and can't get away again." and then
coolly, and apparently without the least
excitement, retired to his chamber,
disrobed himself and went to bed
He was entirely unconscious the next
morning of what he had been doing
Now the question is, what peculiar
power enabled the. man to perform this
wonderful feat? 1t would seem little
less than a miracle, but of its truth as
related there is no doubt.

The Heidelberg Tun.

The famous tun of Heidelberg is in q
vaulted cellar of the castle. l was
misled by the name, and supposed it
was sort of vat, but it is a regular
hogshead, containing $4,000 gallons.
The slaves are each massive sticks of
timber. The hoops are immense bands
of oak, six inches thick, and foot
across. II is supported by a huge
frame work of oak. There is a stair
case leading up the side to a gallery
on the summit, along which people
used to pass with the wine, which
was poured in at the top. How the
huge thing was ever built, pat up
and banded, / can not conceive. The
tradition is that it was built by prince,
who received a part of his taxes in
wine, and paid his servants and officers
part of their wages in wine, and that
complaint grew up that the wine
paid was unequal in quality. So this
huge tun was devised, into which all
the wine received was poured as it
came in, and from which ali the wine
paid out or used was drawn of a uni
form quality.
But, as | stood below the Great
Tun and looked up 90 feet to the top,
it began to grow upon me. Forty
nine thousand gallonsl l said to my
self. That is 1000 hogsheads, | am

800 barrels. Forty-nine thousand
gallons! Why, at a gallon day, and
| did not think l would master more
than that, it would take at least 130
years to drink that hogshead dry. l
did not feel that l could stop to do
it. In fact l had other engagements
elsewhere. But ray of hope struck
me. said to the little girl who ac-
companied me as a guide; THAT is
a vast quantity of wine. Do you
think the tun is quite full?" why,
Lord bless your Highland Well-born-
Worship, said she, | had just given
her a double handful of kreutzers,
"Why, Lord bless your Highland
Well Worship, the tun has only
been filed three times, and the last
time was more than a hundred years
ago. There's not a drop of wine in itP'

when fresh hive has been brought TO
my garden from distant place, the
bees employ themselves on first leaving

ing themselves acquainted with all the
neighboring objects, and these objects
may possibly serve to guide them to
their respective homes. Some natur-
alists are Of the opinion that this recog-
milton Of home by animals is the result
of memory. Perhaps in some in
stances it is so, but memory could not
have guided poor Valiante over two
hundred miles of country, which he
had never passed before; and the same
unexplained instinct which brought
Tim back to his stable in Gibraltar,
may guide the bee to his hive.
This instructive sagacity appears in
some animals to whom We should have
been less disposed to attribute it. Some
pigs which had been brought in sack
l 5 miles through an American wood,
by the next morning found their way
back from their new to their old home.
l have also been assured that Welsh
sheep have been known TO find their
way back from the neighborhood of
London to their native mountains. 1t
is no uncommon thing for dogs who
have been taken great distance in car
riages, TO make their way home again,
and that in very short space of time.
A gentleman took pointer dog in his
carriage to some shooting ground in
Scotland, more than 100 miles from
his house. Upon receiving some COR
reetion from his master, he left him,
and made bis way back to his kennel.
D A friend of mine had poodle dog

which he corrected him once or twice
during a walk. On his return the
whip was put on table in the hall,
and the next morning it was missing.
1t was soon after found concealed in
an out-building and again made use of
in correcting the dog. 1t was again
lost, and again found hidden in an
other place. On watching the dog,
who was suspected to be the culprit,
he was seen to take the whip from the
hall table and make off with it to an
other hiding place. ,s..r....

The Boy to Succeed.

A few years ago large drug firm IN
this city advertised for boy. Next
day the store was thronged with APP
plicants, among them a queer looking
little fellow, accompanied by a woman,
who proved to be his aunt, in lieu OF
faithful parents, by whom he had been
abandon ed. Looking at this little waif,
the merchant in the store promptly
said: "Can't take him; places all fulli
besides, he is too small" 81 know he
is small" said the woman, "but he is
willing and faithful" There was a
twinkle in the boys eyes, which made
the merchant think again. A partner
in the firm volunteered to remark that
he "did not see what they wanted of
such boy-he wasn't bigger than a
pint of cider" But after consultation
the boy was set to work. A few days
later call was made on the boys in
the store for some one to stay all night.
The prompt response of the little fell
low contrasted well with the reluctance
of others. In the middle of the night
the merchant looked in to see if all was
right in the store, and presently dis
covered his youthful protege busy scis-
soring labels. "What are you doing?"
said he. Il did not tell you to work
nights" 81 know you did not tell me
to, but l thought l might as well be
doing something" In the morning
the cashier got orders to double that
boys wages, for he is acilling." Only
few weeks elapsed before a show of
wild beasts passed through the streets,
and very naturally all hands in the
store rushed to witness the spectacle.
A thief saw his opportunity, snd en-
tered at the rear door to seize some
thing, but in a twinkling found him
self firmly clutched by the diminutive
clerk aforesaid, and after struggle,
was captured. Not only was a robbery
prevented, but valuable articles taken
from other stores were recovered
When asked by the merchant why he
stayed behind to watch when all 9TH
ers quit their work, the reply was,
"You told me never to leave the store
when others were absent, and l thought
I'd stay" Orders were Immediately
given once more: Double that boys
wages; he is Willing and faithfalF'--
To-day that boy is getting salary

ROMANCE.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

4 j
OH she was maid of laughing eye.
And she lived in a garret cold and high;
And he was athreadbare whiskered beau.
And he lived in a cellar damp and low.
But the rosy boy of the cierub wing
Has many shaft in his slender string,
And the youth below and the maid above
Were touched with the flashing darts of love
And she would wake from her troubled sleep.
Der his tender billet-doux to weep; gea
Or stand like statue bright and fair,
And gaze on lock of his bright, red hair.
And he who was so tail and proud,
With his step so firm and his laugh so loud,
HIS beard grew long and his face grew thin.
And he pined in solitude over his gin.
But one soft night in the month Of June,
Asshe lay in the light of a cloudless moon,
A voice came floating soft and clear ir
To the startled maiden's listening ear.
Oh, then from her cfeaking couch she sprun
And her tangledttresses back she flung,
She looked from the window far below,
And he stood beneath, her whiskered beau.
She did not start with foolish frown,
But packed her trunk and scampered down,
And there was her lover tall and true,
In his threadbare coat of the brightest blue.
The star that rose in the eyenin shade
Looked sadly down on 4 weeping maid;
The sun that came in his morning pride
Shed golden light to'er a laughing bride.

EscArED.-on wednesday last

EscAPED.-On Wednesday last
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
three men were seen approaching
the jail, but as it was s common oc-
currence, no suspicious were created.
The jailor-Wm. N. Hawkins-was
engaged in the Court House, with
the Board of Supervisors, and it was
an hour or more after the three men
above referred to were seen, uatiI
the fact was made known that the
Jail had been forcibly opened, and
that Whitelaw, charged with coun-
terfeiting, and Cox, the burglar, had
been released from their cells, and
had departed fer q more genial at
mosphere The prisoners who did
not escape, inform us that three we'll
dressed men unlocked the outer door
Of the Jail; also, the doors to the
cells of Whitelaw and Cox, and pre-
sented them with revolvers and or
dered them to make their escape,
which they quietly did. At the
same time the ruffians swore that
they would shoot the first prisoner
that made an alarm, and then mod
estly withdrew themselves, locked
the Jail door and departed. e5.
These are the facts in the case as
reported to us by eye witnesses, and
we can't see how the jailor is to be
blamed for the transaction, as he
was at the time of the occurrence at
the Court House, with the keys of
the Jail in his pocket. The parties
evidently had keys of their own that
worked like chsrm.-CAaTlesfon
