Buried MOney-A strange Case of
HOmnamb utism.
From the Detroit Free Press. July 22.l

SOmnnmDut1sm.
From the Detroit Free Press, July 22.l
Friday last resident of Dawson
street, named Birch, received $500 in
money, and it being too late to deposit
it in the bank he placed it in n small tin
box and deposited the box in bureau
drawer lie has daughter, about fil-
teen years old, who has morbid terror
of burglars, and the girl was very anx-
ious for the safety of the money, fearing
that some one would enter the house
So great was her anxiety that she could
not go to sleep until after midnight.
When the family arose Saturday morn
ing, Birch went to the drawer and found
both box and money gone. He examined
the doors and windows, but found them
secured, as he had left them the previous
night, and of course it was great mys-
terry how the money had left the house.
There were no callers the evening preyi-
Gus, the key Of the drawer had been left
lying on the stand in the bedroom, and
was there when he got up, and the
drawer was locked as he locked it.
What might have been a vexatious
case for the detectives was solved after
breakfast without much trouble. The
daughter, on getting up, found that a
wooden rag and a piece of salt pork,
which she had bound around her sore
throat the previous evening, had fallen
off and disappeared as mysteriously as
the cash box. The father heard her
speaking about it, and, as he passed
through grape arbor in the rear Of the
house, he saw the cloth and the meat on
the ground. Bending over to pick them
up, his foot sank in the soft ground, and
he heard rafting, which resultedin bis
pulling up the box safe and sound.
While the girl could not, of course, re-
member anything about it, it is quite cel.
tain that her anxiety for the money led
her to rise in her sleep, secure the box,
unlock the door, and 90 out and buy
the box in the arbor, loosening the soil,
and she had selected this spot. Her
fingers were found to be soiled with dirt,
and there were marks on the FELLOWSHIP
where she had placed her hand. Then
the wooden which had been dropped from
her neck was still further proof of her
somnambulism.
She was as much surprised as any one,
and but for the accident, as it may be
termed, which led Birch into the arbor,
he might have been 5ewailing the loss OF
his money a year hence. He claims TO
be light sleeper, and yet the daughter
had taken the key from the stand near
his head, unlocked the drawer, unlocked
the back door, drawn the bolt OF the
woodshed door, passed out, returned and
locked every hing, and replaced the bu-
reau key, and neither the man nor wife
was awakened, and the sleeper had en-
countered nothing to break the midnight
dream which led her to leave her bed.

Ex-senator Foote 10 contributing TO
the Washington Chronicle some very
readable "reminiscences OF his senatorial
days. From one Of his recent articles
we extract the following reference TO one
of Virginias greatest and most beloved
matrons-Mrs. Robert Il. Lee. Alter

SEATED near these ladies was one

of Mrs. Cualis, the present Mrs. Lee;
She was then about sixteen years OF
age. aud was indeed the observed OF
ali observers. Her personal charms
were such as must inevitably have com
handed admiration and sympathy, in
dependent OF the adscititious advantages
which so richly clustered about her. No
one, am confident has ever beheld
more placid and winning face than that
which was now presented TO my gaze
She was richly and plainly attIred, as
was her mother, aud there was modest
and reserved dignity about both OF them
that significantly bespoke their rank
and bringing up. Miss Gusts was de-
seribed to me by those who knew her
best as a young lady Of sound and igor
Gus intellect, in which judgment and dis
elimination decidedly predominated.
Her education had been in all respects
such as was best calculated TO make her
happy herself, and the source OF abun-
dant utility and happiness to others;
Those who had beheld her venerated
ancestress. the wife Of Washington,
often pointed out the striking resem-
blance which they supposed themselves
to have discerned between the nohlest oil
American women and the youthful rep
resentative of her virtues and her blood.
Miss Custis was the heiress expectant OF
two of the largest estates that Virginia
could then boast, and il is rather Gu
rious and interesting fact that her
uncle, William IL. Fitzhugh, already

How nathIng InIures the Ear.

From the Popular Science MOnthly.I
Ameng the causes of injury to the ear
must unfortunately be reckoned bathing.
Not that this healthful and important
pleasure need, therefore, be in the least
discouraged; but it should be wisely reg
uiated. Staying too long in the water
certainly tends to produce deafness as
well as other evils; and it is practice
against which young persons OF both
sexes should be carefully on their guard
But, independently of this, swimming
aud floating are attended with q certain
danger from the difficulty Of preventing
the entrance of water into the ear IN
those positions. Now, no cold fluid
should ever enter the ear; cold water Is
always more or less irritating, and If
used for Swinging rapidly produces gid
diness. In the case OF warm water ITS
entrance into the ear is less objectiona-
BILE, but even this IS not free from disad-
vantage. Often the water lodges in
the ears and produces an uncomiorta-
bic sensation till it is removed; this
should always be taken as a sign Of
danger. That the risk TO hearing from
unwise bathing is not fancy. is proved
by the fact, well known TO the lovers Of
dogs, that those animals, If in the habit
Of jumping or being thrown into the
water, so that their heads are covered,
frequently become deaf. A knowledge
Of the danger Is q sufficient gusrd. To
be safe it is only necessary 10 keep the
water from entering the ear. II this
cannot be accomplished Otherwise, the
head may be covered. II should be
added, however, that vet hair, whether
from bathing or washing, may be a
cause Of deafness, IL It be suffered 10
dry itself. Whenever wetted, the hair
should be wiped till it is fairly dry. Nor
ought the practice Of moistening the
hair with water 10 make it curl pass
without remonsiranco. To leave wet
hair about the esrs is 10 run great risk
Of injuriug them. In The washing FL
children. too. care should be taken that
all the little folds Of the outer ear are
carefully and gently dried with a soft
towel.

In the States OF the Union there is
upon the statute books a law prohibiting
"betting," but it is dead letter law,
hardly ever enforced except by some
rural Grand Jury that takes cognizance
of some local horse race. In England
betting is regarded as a noble pas
time and n gentlemanly accomplish
ment In order to sustain its character
and protect it from intruders, measure
called the betting bill was recently
introduced into the British Parliament
for the suppression of betting in
Scotland. The measure did not inter
dict betting ION honor" but only the
games or pacts wherein money was
staked. The bill was not designed
as a cure for betting by the nobility,
but only for the ignoble and poorer
classes who had to put the money mp, as
they could not afford to trust each other
by betting en- honor. 1t impossible
to legislate a people into morality, mis-
taken effort too often INDUCED in by the
Legislators Of our own States. Morality
is not enforced by law, it is created by
education and religion. Good morals
and good manners are not statutory re-
suits, and but little attention is paid to
such laws as purport to enforce either
Law is sarcastically defined to be the
perfection of reason, but such laws
as are referred to above are ridiculous
and unreasonable in the extreme.
