U A remarkable case of somnam-
bulism or temporary insanity is now a
current topic of gossip in Lynn, Mass.
A young married man of good moral
habits awoke, or rather arose from his
bed in a semi-unconscious state one
night recently, and without any prov
ocation dealt two or three heavy blows
to his wife. who was asleep beside him.
She was considerably frightened, and
uttered cries which attracted her moth
er to the room. The man then set up
on her and knocked her over stove,
and turned to his wife's sister, who by
this time had arrived, and struck her
in the face, breaking her teeth. He
then left the house clad only in his
night clothes, and ran for help to a
nsighbOirng S eet, telling parties
whom he reused up that mulderers
were in his house, trying to kill him
and his family. He finally came to con-
seriousness, and has since acted as usn-
al, save that his mind appears trifle.
duh. He says that he had some idea
of what he was doing Saturday night,
but was powerless to prevent h s
actions. ..... .ea

Gen. Hardee.
FUNERAL OF THE DISTINGUISHED soI,
DIER AT SELMA.

The people of Selma yesterday turn.
ed out Gu masse to do honor to the
memory of Gen. VIM. J. Hardee. and
TO testify by outpouring their love 70,
the grand old hero. As early as Q
o'clock the different Organizations in.
tending to march in the procession
commenced gathering at their respect
I'VE rendezvous, and on the arrival OF
Dalton train, bearing the illustrious
dead, vast concourse of citizens
awaited them.
AT three o'clock the procession form
ed and marched to St. Paups Episcn-
pal church, of which Gen. Hardee was
a most worthy member, where the
beautiful funeral services of the church
were performed by the rector. Rev, Mr.,
Clements. The services at the church
having been finished, the casket was
replaced in the hearse and the line of
march was taken up for the cemetery.
one OF the features of the procession
was the Old war horse of Gen. Hardee.
without rider, following the hearse
that contained all that was mortal Of
INN that he had borne on MANY q VIC
torions and bloody field. The ewes of
many OF US who had seen the noble oc-
caslons were dimmed with tears of
sympathy and sorrow as recollections
OF the past came wildly before the
MINDS eye. We thought of Shiloh, of
missionary Ridge, of Rinsold Gap, and
the battles from Dalton to Atlanta, the
most wonderful campaign recorded on
the pages of modern history, and the
grandness of the dead hero again came
out in it's fulness.
1t was not only his old soldiers that
loved and honored Gen. Hardee, but
the people who had known him as a
citizen and civilian shared that affect
ion and respect, and in all the wears
that he lived in Selma as a citizen.
there were none of her people but that
honored and respected him. The
great outpouring, the closing of stores,
the suspension of business, and the
universal grief manifested yesterday,
speak more eloquently of the feelings
OF this people than our feeble pen could
possibly portray. He has gone to the
grave, but his memory will ever be
fresh in our hearts, and his life and
deed will ever be cherished as one of
the priceless legacies of our people.

ready made is laid sen,i-cilculas
plate of glass, the circumference O
which is graduated. At the center is
an alidade, also graduated, which car
rles, on a slide, piece of mice marked
with blade point. The latter, by its
own movement along the alidade, and
also by that of the alidade itself, can
be brought over every point in the
glass semicircle. just before the plate
is Il fixed eye piece. Looking through
this, the black dot is carried success
sively over all the points of the plan

thus obtained are transmitted by tele-

gous to that just described, but sim
pie point is substituted for the mica
dot, and by it the designated positions
on the glass are successfully marked.

Our AI,IY.-On the 3ist of October

sisted of q, 500 niea of all arms--ten
regiments of cavalry, S,6H men and
officers; five regiments Of artillery, g.
2O6 men and officers, twenty five reg
iments of inlautry, 1852 men and Off
GERS; engineer battalion and other non
combatants and recruits, $3.50. The
appropriations for the support of this
establishment for the current e;a l.
Amounted 10 81, O0O, 900, or at the rate
Of about 81 ,075 per man. This great
cost, more than double the cost per
man OF the British army, is explained
by the fact that we have about one
commissioned officer for every fifteen
men. The estimates tor The next year
are understood to he $4,000, 900. Our
army is scattered over the whole coun-
try, there being q small garrison ia
nearly every seacoast fort, a number of
companies stationed in the Southern
states for sucl, purposes as keeping
Gov. Kellogg in office, and the bulk of
the force being employed on the plains
and the Pacific States. AS all the real
service performed by the army at pres
ent might be done by 10000. men,
force of $1,000 regulars could be spared
for any special business we might take
in hand. If the business should happen
to be war in Cnba, this regular force
might be supplemented with an army
of volunteers, numbering an " where
from twenty to hundred thousand.

Edmond ]. F0rStall.

We have to record the death of an
old citizen who has figured most hon
orablv and usefully in the history of
our. State. We refer to Mr.. Edmond
J. Forstall, whose decease occurred ON
Sunday last, in bis eightieth year,
But few who engaged during the last
year in delightful intercourse and ever
instructive conversation of this most
agreeable gentleman, imagined h e
length of years lie had attained. He
was always so cheerful and ready, so
fresh in feeling, thought and idea, so
distinct in his recollection, and so ac-
tive and earnest in his manners. as to
be the centre Of every company in
which he might he thrown. "
Mr.. Forstall was native of this city,
Of Creole mother and English Father.
On the fathers side he was of Norman
Anglican stock. OF good education,
quick faculties and studiohs habits, lie
embarked early in mercantile life and
soon became prominentin mercantile
and financial circles; and as legislator
one OF the most useful Louisiana ever
had. His services, some forty, years
ago, in framing the acts OF the Legisla-
ture relating to financial subjects and
to banks, were of the most valuable
character. Nearly all the Of d bank
charters were prepared or carefully SUI
pervised by him. ... "'. iaei1' '.sss-
The Banking act of 1912 is a monu-
ment of his financial wisdom, 1t was
the result OF close study of the banking
institutions of the old world, especial
ly that of the bank of England, tile best
features Of which were embodied in our
banking act-one.tt third in coin and
two thirds in, short paper, the issue of
no other notes than their own over their
counters, and rigid system ofinquiry
every week by board of currency,
and statements published in the public
papers OF their exact condition. These
were the main TEXTURES of the banking
system organized in this State by Mr..
Forstall, and which Tor twenty-five
years stood tile test of all financial
Shocks, so that just before the war the
notes of our banks commanded, at
times, a premium over coin. @9f,
For many years Mr.. Forstall gave
his labor aud experience to his native
State in guiding and shaping her ad-
ministration andlegisIation. Frequent
visits to Europe and to Mexico, gener-
ally in some official capacity, gave him
opportunities of filing his mind with
valuable knowledge, and his memory
with agreeable incidents and observa-
TONS illustrative of the characteristics
OF the emineht men of various couu-
tries with whom he was brought INFO
contact. His conversation was an in =,
exhaustive souAce of information and
entertainment to the men of the pres
ent generation. For many years Mr..
Forstall had been charged witt, the
care of the large interests of Barring
Brothers and other large banking firms
of the great commercial States Of the
Old World.
His career was that of most useful
citizen, modest, diSpassionate, thought
tuland patriotic, hating politics aud all
other strife, but i'll every relation of
life displaying all the traits of u most
amiable, vift"ons and faithful citizen
