Hints On Sleep.

e, To literary men, preachers, teachers,
lawyers, doctors, Journalists, and brain
workers in general, the following hints
are exceedingly, worthy attention: The
fact is, that as life becomes c0noen-
trated, and its pursuits more eager,
short sleep and early rising become i'm
possible. We take more sleep than our
ancestors, and We take more sleep BE-
cause wc want more. Six hours sleep
will, do very we'll for ploughman or
bricklayer or any other man who ;has
no exhaustion but that produced by
manual labor, and the sooner he takes
it after the labor the better. But for
the man whose labor is mental, the
stress is on hia brain and nervous sysr
TEN, and for him who is tired in the
evening with q day Of mental plliioaS
tion, neither early to bed nor early TO
rise is wholesome. He needs letting
down to the level Of repooe. The
longer interval between tho aoive use
Of. the. brain and tie retirement to bed,
the better his chance Of sleep and r.
freshment. To him nm hour after mid
night is probably as good IS two hours
before it, and even then his sleep will
not SO completely restore him as it will
his neighbor who is physically tired.
His best sleep is in the carly morning
hours, when all the nervous excitement
has passed away, and he is in absolute
rest. +.

An Old Story Reyamncd.

a very clever game was that which a
widow residing in Anderson County,
n.y., played upon some masked bur.
glars. The lady had received $500
from Washington, and tho circumstance
coming to the knowledge of q gang of
rascals, they concluded to rob her of
it, and one night visited her disguised
as negroes. After they had secured
the money, they offered to restore part
OF it on the condition that she would
get them something to eat. She ac-
cepted the proposition, and prepared
them nice supper, seasoning it with
some poison that she had in tile house.
The thieves ate heartily, and the next
morning two Of them were found dead
on the premises.

The Prince OF Wales Dunned by His
Creditors.

The Prince of Wales owes debts to
the amount of $500, 900. Some of these
debts have been running for a long
time, and the creditors are somewhat
impatient for the money: How did it
happen that the Prince got 80 deeply in
debt Who can tell ? From his birth
up to his majority the revenues Of the
Duchy of Cornwall were saved up for
him. Last year his income from this
source was G62,349. It was not 80
much before his shrewd father. stopped
many leaks in it's administration, but
the sum must have been large Then
there is his annual allowance from Par
lament and the animal allowance to
his wife, and while he pays no rent Tor
his town residence, Marlb borough House,
he probably gets q small income from
his tenants at his country estate, Sand
ringham. Besides all this, his late Ia
mented father is known to have left a
very large amount of money, although
it is probable that his mother keeps
close guard over this. No one can tell
anything about it, for If the Prince
Consort left will, his widow has never
sent it to be recorded. But, on the
whole, one would be inclined to soy
that . gentleman with an income of at
least $45O, 900 year ought to keep out
Of debt, even If he had q large family
of small children and entertained much
company. : -@e*..4 =
The Prince of Wales has not kept
out Of debt: He owes, as I have said,
$500, 900, and the government are
about to ask Parliament to pay
his debts. The proposition will cause
a row, and, if the Republicans had any
real influence, they could make some
capital out Of the affair. The plea in
favor of the proposition will be that the
debts have been incurred in the per-
formance of state duties which have
been imposed upon him by the Queen.
The truth is, believe, that the Prince,
who is a very shrewd man in his money
matters, has always borrowed the funds
which have been expended on these
occasions, refusing to use his own
money for such purposes, and saying
that in the end either Parliament or his
mother must pay his, debts thus. con-
tracted. Ia r0ison. The simple JUS
ticc of th.' case would seem to demand
that the Queen shonld pay the money!,
She receives from the state very
ample revenue for the, discharge Of
certain duties; it would seem only
right that if she deputies her; son to
perform these duties for her she should
pay the expense attending them.
Many disputes are said to have taken
place between the Queen and the Prince
on this subject; but Her Majesty does
not like to spend her money any more
than the Prince does, and as the credit
ors are growing clamorous Parliament
is to be asked to vote the money. 1t
is an ill advised piece of business j; but
I suppose the request will not be re-
fused.

The black bug is making havoc in

The black bug is making havoc in
the peach nurseries of Maryland. A
dispatch from Wilmington, DEL, says
that in ono nursery the grated stock of
s., 600 trees was entirely killed. The
insect is even capable of destroying
trees, as it th;ckly covers the leaves and
prevents vegetation. None of the orli-
nary means of destroying insects seem
to avail, rs this scourge is very tena-
cious Of life, and liquid application
that will kill the trees does not infect
it. 1t resembles the rose bug, and is
regarded by entomologists as a similar
pest to the cherry achid.
