n man who gave his name as Charles wat

yine.tope. once respectable merchant In
fhis cify. was arrested while trying to enter
the hoi1se of Mr.. Schaeffer, on Portland
avenue, before. daylight yesterday morning.
This man has O strange mania Tor when q

they lay asleep. He has been known 10 40
this on several occasions ana, alter sea :.ti

carefully after him. I'm
About six months ago he got himself
into serious trouble in this way, being a.
rested as a burglar and held to answer. He
entered the room of young lady after she
had retired and gone to sleep. Taking his
fayorite position beside the bed, he stood
gazing at the beautiful sleeper till, perhaps,
Conscious of the presence near her, she
awoke and was frightened terribly. by the
faint light of the moon as it shone through
the lattice she saw this stranger standing
still and motionless at her bedside. She
screamed and tainted, and the inmates OF
the house, aroused by the noise, came rush
ing in Just in time to catch the intruder.
The affair caused a good deal OF excite
ment and no little gossip ut the time, but
subsequent facts have proved that the man
was harmless, and went there just to satisfy
this singular longing of his. He has been
caught in several such places since then,
but ut no time has he ever disturbed any.
thing or anybody. He was presented to the
court as a suspected felon, q charge hardly
justified by the facts in the case, and held in
$500 to be of good behavior for twelve
months. His case is strange one indeed

TIE GREAT BooT PRoBLEM-OEE WHO
KNowETH HOW TO LIFT HIMSELF, By THE
STRAPS OF HIS Doors OVER THE MooN.-A
mechanic of our city, Mr.. Joseph Cardona,
claims to have invented q time-piece, which,
when once started, will never stop, winch
will correctly indicate the time for all ages
to come, and which thus furnishes the an
swer to the hitherto unsolyed problem OF
perpetual motion. MIR. Cardona asserts
tnat he has working model of this time
piece, which has thus Ear stood oil tests, and
declares that the principle upon which 1t is
based is simple and easily compromised.
As to the details of his invention he declines
to at present make them public, and bis
model he refuses to place on exhibition, as
the time-piece has not yet been patented.
Mr.. Cardona assigns his lack of means as
the excuse for his apparent negligence In
this respect, and has authorized us to make
in his behalf the following proposition to
the public So, E!4
II the people of this city will pay all the
actually necessary expenses of procuring
patent for his invention, he will agree to
place his time-piece in some public hall or
building where its workings may be tho
roughly inspected and its utility considered
by our scientific men and all who may feel
Interested. Then, if after a full investiga-
tion it Is found to be as valuable as claimed,
he prOpoSes our cltlZenS snail erect q manu.
factory for him., In return for this he win
agree to give Detroit the exclusive benefit
Of snch D manufacturing enterprise, bind
ing himself not to sell any rights, nor to
give permission to any one elsewhere to
engage In the manufacture Of the patented
article. he does not ask any money In adj
vance, but he requires that the necessary
security shall be deposited to enable him to
obtain the pecuniary aid asked, provided
his invention liz patentable and it proves to
be OF the value he claims for it.
Dir. Cardona Is q Spaniard by birth, but
