After long intcrccssion, the couple
were induced by the govcrnor-gcncral to
repair, on board Il Dutch vessel, to the
Isle of Bourbon, where they resided for
many years. In 1864, the count was
removed by an epidemic fever, and his
death was soon followed by that of his
child.
In the succeeding autumn, 1888, the
widow, whose cup Of sorrow wis now
filled To the brim, went to live i'm the

ThcKus,, for the BLACK Hills,

a gentleman who has just returned to
Washington from the far West says that
It's impossible to imagine the excitement
in the frontier towns and villages colt
corning the Black Hills. Everywhere
parties are organizing, and are only
waiting for the opening Of spring to start
for the supposed FL Dorado. The efforts
Of the Government to find out whether
there is really any gold in the Black
Hills he thinks will be OF little use since
people will not wait for any exploration,
but will push ahead at any cost and in
the face of any peril. The Govern
ment cannot hold back the Indians
from attacking invading parties, and the
consequence will be- numerous conflicts,
in which the deluded gold-seekcrs will,
many OF them, fall victims to Indian bar
barities The Government will do all it
can to keep back the parties, but will
not, unfortunately, be able to stop ALL
Indian complications of very grave
character are therefore feared, but tho
worst is not the slightest ground for the
excitement. 1t Is not believed by those
who have the best opportunity of OBJ
tanning knowledge that as much gold can
be found in the Black Hills as in the
mountains of Virginia or Vermont,
where there is known to be little.

Danger of PrOtracted Sleep.

But here, as in SO many cases, the evil
of deficiency has its counterpart in the
evil of excess. Sleep protracted beyond
the need of repair, and encroaching ha-
bitualy upon the hours of waking action,
irnpairs more or less the functions of the
brain, and with them all the vital powers.
This observation is as old as the days of
Hippocratcs and AretGus, who
scyera!ly and strongly comment upon
it. The sleep of infancy, however,
and that of old age. do not come under
this category of excess. These are nat
ural conditions, appertaining to the re-
spective periods of life, and to be dealt
with as such. In Illness, moreover, all
ordinary rule and measure of sleep must
be put aside. Distinguishing it from
coma, there are very few eases in which
it is not an equivocal good; and even in n
comato,e state the brain we believe,
gains more from repose than from any
artificial attempts to rouse it into action.

THE annual report Of the Chief OF the
Bureau of Statistics for the year 1874
gives some interesting statements relat-
ing 10 immigration to the United States.
The total number of immigrants arrived
during the year was 260,8l4, of whom
2,645 were of professional occupations,
80, 1872 of skilled occupations, lOl, 3ls of
miscellaneous callings, and l22,45S were
reported as having no occupation. The
latter class consisted mainly of women
and children. They were added to
our population q, $50 farmers, AIS farm
laborers, and 1927 common laborers.
We also drew from the Old World the
valuable services Of billiard player,
equestrian, letter carrier l omnibus
conductor, pensioner, and 2 bath keep
ers. The addition to our professional
classes include 1873 actors, l20 artists and
. authors. The clergy received 3Sl re-
crults, OF whom were women. This
figure probably shows pretty nearly the
added strength Of the Catholic church.
Journalism received but 10 additions from
foreign sources, while medicine was rein
forced by 1863, surgery by 80, and law by
81, 554 professors and teachers immigrated
TO our shores, and II scientific men took
up their abode among US. Wood engrav-
ing was enriched by the skill of 49 artists.
Dentistry with SO additions, and chem
istry Al. Music gave us regular bo-
nanza of richness, 10 less than 493 of
It's devotees casting their lot with U.s.
How many of this number were of the
organ-grinding species is not stated. In
all, so professions are represented.

The Day Of Wrath.

At the hour of o'clock, Monday even
ing, the saints of Chicago, Philadel-
phia and elsewhere, assembled to perform
the solemn ceremonial rites appropriate
to the event, and to await together the
coming of Christ and the end Of things
mundane. The belief that the end of the
world was at hand, has obtained GER
tain amount of currency in almost every
age of Christianity. The Millerite ex-
citcment in this country in lS43 will be
remembered by many. The founder Of
The sect, William Miller, was born in
Pittsdeld, Mass, in 1871, and died in
Washington county, New York, in
1919. In 1888 he began
to preach about the coun-
try in regard to the second coming of
Christ, fixing upon the year 1913, for the
| event. His followers were numbered by
! tens Of thousands, but with the failure of
| their hopes the sect diminished in num-
| bers, and died out Of public notice. 1t still
I exists, however, both in this country and
| England. and supports number of per-
iodicals, as well as issuing numerous pub
locations. \ great many expected the
Judgment dav to come in 1874, and again
IN 1865 and 1873. There Is now divis.
ion of belief among them, some thinking
that it is impossible to fix the exact date,
although confident that we are living in
the latter days. while the more fanatic
had determined upon Monday for the
date, and, If there is power in faith, their
certainty OF belief was enough TO bring it
to pass. The Adventists in this country
hold a national convention SIX years ago
at Rochester n. Y, which WAS attended
by about one hundred ministers of the
faith. At this convention n committee
was appointed to fix time for another
when it should be deemed eXpedient, but
il has never taken any action. The pres
ent leader Of the Timists Is person
named William {. Thurman, and his
followers claim to be possessed ofeXtra-
ordinary powers. "Deamons are cast
out; they speak with new tongues: il
they drink any deadly thing it does not
hurt them" The failure Monday night
was probably owing to the unf.voruhlr
condition Of the weather OF course, the
saints" will now appoint another day
for the final catastrophe.

Mr.. Beecher as u N visionary.

\ correspondent informs us that kiss
ing is unknown in China. Civilization
in that country has never been consider
ed to be as fully developed as it is in the
East, and the Chinese are undoubtedly
ignorant of much with which Younger
nations are familiar. Human nature. as
Nine de Stael says, is the same every
where, ana there will be found nothing
all over the world but men women and
children. To Americans kissing seems
to be SO natural that we can hardly under
stand how the Chinese are ignorant of
art Indeed, if we should physiological
" enter into an investigation of the SUBJ
ject the mystery would become more pro-
found.
Our intelligent correspondent proposes
that, as the art Of kissing appears to be
entirely unknown among the Chinese,
missionaries should be sent from this
country to give them the proper instruc-
ton. lie wishes to export the Rev Mr.
Beecher as the champion kisser of the
United States. Paroxysmal, paternal
sisterly, reconciliatory and lnspirational
kisses appear to be as familiar to Mr..
Beccher as household words. The hon
orable defendant, according to his own
account, has done great deal of kissing.
He has kissed Mrs. Tilton SISTER
ly), Mrs. Moulton alphabetically,
Mr. Moulton (experimentally) Mr..
Oliver johnson Cunwilingly) Sam
Wilkeson lunavoidablyJ, Mr., Evarts
professionally, Mr.. Sherman indig.
nantly), Bessie Turner (fatherly) and
Theodore Tilton treconciiatorv) After
this extraordinary experience in oscula-
tory performance, Mr.. Beecher should
certainly be fully qualified to teach tho
barbarans all that they are ignorant
of in the delicste art. Brooklyn might
probably miss HIM, but Pckin would be
the gamer. If he should, after the trial,
consent to 60 to China in the capacity of
Plymouth missionary he might
conjugatc the verb ito kiss with greater
success than he has done ut home. The
coniugation ~ kiss Tilton, thou kissest
Tilton, he kisses johnson, johnson kiss
eth US, Wllkeson Eisseth Bowen, Bowen
kisseth Beecher," might have wider APP
plcation in the experience of Oriental
climates But as Mr., Beecher has kissed
almost everybody in Brooklyn it would
be pity if he should 90 to the home of
the Brother of the Sun and Neon and
leave the unkissed Mrs. Morse out of the
category.-Nci0 York Herah.
