4 PERILouS HOUR.

Medicai evidence proves that, in
chronic diseases, the greater num-
Der of deaths occur just before
dawn. This is eminently true o1
brain diseases, and of all those re-
lated cases where death results from
an exhaustion of the vital power,
through ov;r-work, excessive ex-
citement or nervous prostration. It
is at the hour of 5 o'clock in the
morning that the life force is at its
lowest ebb, and succumbs most
readily to the assault of epilepsy, OF
paralysis, or of the fatal lethargy
that comes in those wildly beauti-
full picture dreams, for which medi-
cal science has as yet found no
name, and Of which it has taken no
sufficient cognizance. 'Nine-tenths
of those who die in this way expire
in their sleep. In many such cases,
If a friend were at hand to awaken
the sleeper when the attack comes
on, or if he were to be awakened by
some accidental noise, he might, by
the use of a few simple preparations
prolong his life for many years; for
the shock which is fatal to the man
wrapped in deep sleep, when the
system is passive and relaxed, would
be victoriously repelled were it
armed with all its waking energies.
Men who do brain work, and who
are on the shady side of forty, should
be on their guard against this in
sidious enemy. They should be-
ware Of s o'clock A. M, for it is a
Fe1ilous hour. Do you find your
self unable to sleep, when you re-
tire for the night, exhausted with
your days work? Do you, in vain,
turn from one side to the other?
Does your brain persist in working
when you would. fain have it rest?
Do old saws and scraps Of rhyme
repeat themselves in your memory
with wearisome iteration, defying
your utmost to silence them2 Then,
beware! You will be sure to sleep
at last. II is only q question Of
time: for, sooner or Later, nature
will assert her rights.-Reynold

book on the Disease of the Hair. !"
He says that a womans hair may
grow to the length Of six feet, and
that a young lady Of Massachusetts
refused q thousand dollars for her
"cranial covering, which was only
one inch short Of this measurement. :"
Four hundred hairs Of average
thickness would cover an inch Of
space. The blonde belle has about
one hundred and forty thousand
filaments to comb and brush, while
the red-haired beauty has to be
satisfied with eighty eight thousand; !;
the browu-haired dansal may have
ono hundred and nine thousand,
the black-haired but ono hundred
and two thousand. Few ladies
consider that they carry some forty
or fifty miles Of hair on their head;
the tair-haired may even have to
dress seventy miles Of threads Of
gold every morning. A German
experinsntal;st has proved that q
single hairwin suspend four ounces
without breaking, stretching under

But the hair thus heavily weighted

I met him on the prairie wild,
A single, solitary Crow.
A rude, untortured heather child
OF Nature, and his name was Lo.
As I approached he seemed in pain;
He bent and doubled like bow.
I thought: ''This savage is insane"
I said; "What is it ails thee, Lo2"
He lifted up his eyes to nine,
And in their depths there shone woe.
He spoke in plaintive, feeble whine:
Me sick" Isympathized with Lo.
A bottle dark, Of ample size,
I then produced-1 noticed though,
A sparkle in the heathen's eyes;
And yet never doubted Lo.
''Drink this, " I said, "'twill warm you up:
Rejoicing on your WY you'll Co."
He drank the full Of pint cup
Me muchee better now," said Lo.
The dusk Of evening fell around,
The wind moro chill and cold did blow
Tho rum was drank, and on the ground
We lay to sleep, both and Lo.
Till morning, slunber sealed my eyes;
Iwoke half covered up with snow;
Ny boots were gone. my hat likewise,
Ny limbs were stiff-but were was Lo:
My mule and all my baggage gone,

CASEY NOT REMOVED.

1--WE are sorry to say we were in
error in announcing the resigna'
ton Of Casey, the collector at New
Orleans. That eminent person
keeps his place in spite Of his mis-.
conduct, and we haveto remind ou,
readers that no paper friendly to
General Grant has ever attempted
to defond or explain his course in
retaining Casey. His retention
gives q slightly farcial air to the
proceedings Of the Board of Com.
missioners sitting in this city to
draft rules for the appointment and
promotion of clerks in the Custom
house. We observe, by the way,
that one Of the rules they: have
drawn forbids the levying Of "as-
sessments" for political purposes on
Customhouse employees, "as volun-
tary contributions or otherwise" It
is one of the curiosities of politics
that the majority Of the Congress
sional Committee which a week or
two ago whitewashed the Custom
house boldly justified the practice
Of levying assessments, and de-
clared that they were purely ''vol-
untary" contributions - probably
one Of the most impudent asser-
tions ever made by a politician, and
which Hmpe''s Weekly in the Pre-
sident's interest felt bound to re-
buke.

Exploits Of a Crazy Man.


The Bonneville Eagle contains the
following account of a crazy man
who escaped, entire nude, from al,
attic room to the roof of the build
ing.
The citizens focked to the rescue
and were soon on the building. No
sooner did the maniac discover his
pursuers than he rau over the build
ing nimble as q squirrel-thence on
to the east portion Of Koontz' 3
block, which is two stories high,
and passing rapidly to the main
building, which corners on Fifth
and Spring streets, and is three
stories in height, he first endeavored
to climb to the roof of the same by
way Of the water-spout, but evi-
IDENTIFY fearing to trust his weight,
he abandoned this mode of asscen-
sion and paused for q moment and
took survey Of the building; then,
in less time than it takes to pen it
he jumped upon a window-blind
and ran up it with as much ease as
a squirrel can climb a tree, and
actually scaled the wall at the top
Of the window. How any human
being could have made the ascent,
seems almost q miracle. But crazy
William accomplished it, and the ex-
plot was Witnessed by many from
the street below.
The citizens now made rush for
the interior of the main building
soon on the roof, having passed
through the scuttle. As soon as
the maniac discovered them upon
the roof, he ran for the chimney,
which extended upward from the
roof six feet, attached to which was
a lighting rod extending twelve feet
above the chimney. He ran up the
lightning rod in an instant, and was
nearly at the top, when the rod
bent under his weight and he
was suspended in the air over the
top of the rod. The sight was
fearful. If he let loose his hold he
would be dashed to pieces! The
streets were filed with people who
looked upon the unfortunate man
as doomed to terrible death.
But one avenue was open whereby
TO save him. Capt. Henry McPher-
son hastily procured a rope and
rushed to a second story window
near where the victim was hanging
and by repeated efforts succeeded
in throwing it around his body, not
withstandidg his fighting to keep it
of, and hauled him to the window
ans thus rescued him. A shout
went up from the crowd below as
the ,uaniac was drawn in at the
window. The wife of the unfortun-
ate man and other relatives wit
messed the terrible sight from the
street below in painful anguish.
After he was rescued it took several
powerful men to handle him and
put on his clothing. He was how
ever, safely secured, and now occu-
pies q cell in our county jail.
