FEATs OF \ ASoMNAMBULIsT.-Th queer
freaks of sleeping man in st. Louis are
thus related by the Times: ~ conductor
of street cars, named Leslie, boards at
house nearly opposite the Offices of the car
company. The house is about sixty feet
front, three stories high, and LcsEe's room
is in the top story. Adjoining the build
ing is one of a lower altitude, the roof of
which is about six feet below Lesle's win
dow. East of this are the car stables. Be
tween eleven and twelve o clock one night
Leslie was seen, in his night dress. cutting
up all sorts of queer pranlls on the roof of
his boarding house. He was here throw
ing a series of flip-fla dancing backward
and forward. and gesticulating in the
ed down to the caves Of the roof where he
seated himself, with his legs dangling over
the street. Jumping up, he marched along
the edge of the roof to the western para
pet wall, which is only a brick thick. up
which he walked to the chimney which he
mounted and passed round it. Coming
down from this perilous perch hc walked
over the roof, stopping 10y the way to go
through the manual of arms, till he reached
the eastern parapet, from which he jumped
down on the roof of the low building
Here he INDUCED in a little tight-rope
practice, walking along the wire of the fire
alarm telegraph, divestiug himself of his
shirt while in this queer position and throw
ing it down on the roof the crowd mean
while being in breathless suspense at the
danger in which the poor fellow was. He
then jumped back on the roof. resumed
his shirt, threw n first rate sunmerSault
and climbed mp to the roof ridge of the
house. These sort of evolutionS were con-
tinued without any apparent fatigue or
thought Of danger for some time. He then
Jumped down on to the stable roof some
four or five feet lower. and marched up and
down the front wall of the building, some
hundred feet in length, going through the
manual exercises the while in the most per
feet manner.
/ He returned by the course he had come
/ climbing the bare wall at the east end of
] the middle building without any apparent
/ difficulty. and making a clean leap of sew
/ cral feet through his window into his bed
/ room 4 number of the officers of the car
company went into his room Immediately.
where they found Leslie lying on his bed
evidently fast asleep, though with staring,
wide open eyes. Afte- some difficulty he
was awakened from his stupor, but was
unable to give any reason for his strange
antics being evidently UNCONSCIOUS that
anything unusual had occurred. His at
tcntion was called to his blackened hands
and bleeding feet, but he could not give
an idea as to how they came in that cOndi-
tion. Altogether it is one of the most ex-
traordinary cases of somnambulism on re-
cord, and well worthy the attention of the
scientific. His fellow employees say that
he has on several former occasions been
caught while on similar sleep walking eX-
cuTsionS, but never before has he INDUCED
in such a remarkable series of gymnastic
feats."

Of course, have not succeeded. Mr.. Nib

constituents would criticise his action. but
he wanted the money pretty badly, and so
lie drew it. He believes a more radical
course than simply restoring the money to
the Treasury is needed, and he is willing
therefore, to aid in securing a repeal of
the law, so that there moy be general
restitution. His constituents are not sat
isfied with this explanation. doubtless
thinking that if Mr.. NibIacll is in earnest
he would give better proof OF it by return
ing the money at once and striving for a
repeal of the law afterward. The other
Congressman who has explained is Mr.. L.
