A Somnambulistic Feat.

SOmnambulists appear to have
double life, in illustration of which
the Troy IN. W Times relates the
following:
"A farmer residing in Bristol,
Ontario county, in this State, is a
solnnambulist. One day while
working in the 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 unsuccessful. During the
ensuing night he arose from his
bed, partially dressed Himself, and
started out. The night was very
dark one of his boys followed
him with q lantern. He kept ND
q running talk with himself about
the drag tooth He walked in a
straight line to the field where he
had been laboring, perhaps a
quarter Of o mile from his resi-
dence. Arriving at q certain point,
he stopped short, kicked away
some earth, and brought forth the
missing tooth. Then turning
squarely around he proceeded di.
rectly to his home. Arriving at
the door, he performed the feat of
lifting the heavy stone step, which
required the combined strength of
himself and another man to raise
the next morning. He threw the
iron under the step, let the stone
down 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 I'M.
conscious the next morning of what
he bad been doing. Now, the
question is, what peculiar power
enabled the man to perform this
wonderful feat . 1t would seem
little less than q miracle, but of
its truth as related, there is no
doubt"

1t cannot be that earth ia
mans only abiding place. It can.
not be that our lite is a bnbble
cast up by eternity to fioat a mo.

nothingness. Else why is it that

that leap like angels from the tenn.
pies OF our hearts are ever wan

that the rainbow and cloud cover
as with a beauty not of earth, and
then pass off 10 leave us to muse on
their iovelinesss
"Why is it that the stars, which
hold their festival around the
midnight throne,' are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties,
forever mocking us with their nn-
approachable gi%ry2 And finally,
why is it that bright forms Of
beauty are presented to our view
and taken from rs leaving the
thousand streams ofour affections
TO flow back in an Alpine torrent
upon our bearts2 There is q
realm where tho. rainbow never
fades, where the stars will be spread
out before rs like the islands that
slumber on the ocean, and where
the beautiful beings which pass
before US like shadows will stay

who do not accept papable or
disguised bribes are becoming shining
exceptions to general rule. The
alarming and constantly increasing tendency
to prostitute public stations to private pur-
poses should be checked at all hazards, and
by every means that legislative bodies or the
people can devise. Its continuance will
speedily make a mockery of our whole sys-
tenn of government. This sad result indeed,
is already too plainly perceptible in the an
nual proceedings at Harrisburg, for the men,
bers of the State Legislature have well-nigh
ceased to act in the interest of their consti-
tuents, and the worst of despotisms cannot
be more CALLING, or, in the end, more injuri-
ous to the general welfare, than the exercise
of law-making powers by bodies which draw
their inspiration from packages of green
backs. Even the most absolute of tyrants, if
they are not downright fools, are induced by
mere personal considerations to desire that
the prosperity of the people whom they rule
may be enhanced, but the sordid Congress-
man or legislator ignores all regard for the
masses, and in selling his vote or his inhu-
ence paves the way for the destruction of
everything that patriotic citizens hold sacred.
Year after year votes and influence are becom-
ing more and more articles of merchandise,
and the proverb of the English pr emier that
every man has his price is rapidly gaining
strong semblance to truth in this country.
The people cannot be aroused too quickly to
full sense of the danger that must inevi-
tably ensue from the universal prevalence of
corruption, and they cannot too soon COM
mence a rigid enforcement of the demand
that their public servants of all grades must
be above suspicion. The attention which
Whittemore's case has attracted should help
to make it the signal for the general reform
that is SO imperatively demanded. Although
he may be but as one corruptionist punished
to ninety-nine who still wear a brazen front,
beginning has at least been made, and if it
is vigorously followed up the National and
State councils of the Republic may yet be
purged of their avarioious and unworthy
members.

THE OLD MASTERS.

THE wonderful ''autotypes" of the old masters
that have lately been introduced to the Ameri-
can public through the agency in this city have
been received by connoisseurs in all parts of the
country with the greatest enthusiasm. These
copies in carbon are indestructible, and they
give the actual touch of the artist and the other
characteristics of the works they reproduce in a
manner that is impossible by any other method
1t is only by means of such duplicates as these
that the works of the great masters of art can
be studied in America, and the Importance of
the ''autotypes" as aids to artistic culture will
be recognized by all who are at all interested in
art matters. At the agency No. 1925 Chestnut
street, large importation has just
been received, to which we call the
attention of our readers. A number of
new and important subjects are included,
among which may be mentioned a splendid
copy of Michel Angeles "Moses, as web as a
fresh stock of those with which lovers of art are
already familiar. This cepy of the "Moses" is
esteemed one of the finest things that has yet
been done by the ''autotype" process, and it
created the greatest enthusiasm in Paris when it
was exhibited there recently. An arrangement
has been made TO exhibit these works to the
public until the eighth OF July at the galleries,
No. 1125 Chestnut street, and those who visit
them during this time will be sure to find abun-
dant subjects for wonder and admiration. The
introduction of the 'autotypes" to the American
public is one of the most important art events OF
the day. and they deserve to be better known
and appreciated than they are by all classes OF
our eitiZ(ns.
