Sleep Walkers.

Somnambulists frequently per-
form feats in their sleep which they
shrink from DUNG wax ng honls.
In a part of Francs where mea are
mnch p ,cus 1med to walk on sI:its'
over swampy ground, a somnambu-
list one night walked across swoil-
on torrent on still ION awaking, ne
fonnd himself to much AFRAID 10
recross the same to rent by daylight
Apother man wss j a the habit CT Is
ing in the night; he dressed whlie
ezleep went down to the cellar, drew
twine from acask, walked back, nn-
dressed went back to bed again,
and knew nothing about IL IN tne,
mo ming. Once when he did 1n's
ne woke in the cellar, and found
more difficulty inretl ac'ng h s steps
in the dark than he had when as
leep. Simply walking in sleep IS a
common phenomenon; but worzlpg'
acting, or dong, swell as waking,
ia more rare. A man dreamed that
he saw a child all into the river; ne
GOT ND. threw himself again on the
he'd as if in the acS of swinging,
seized hold of bundle OF clothes at
the erd of the bed, treated it as if
+ we're a drowning child, held Il
with one hand, while seeming TO
swim with the othe- and put 1t down
as if isafely landed on the river side;
he began shivering and teeth-chats-
ering, and said out audibly: IT Is
freezing cold! let me have Ii tie
brandy" and finally returned to bed
again. A young mill cry officer IN
citadel of Brenstein was seen by his
g brother officers to rise from bed IN
his sleep, go to thowindow, open 1t,
Chamber 70 the roof by the aid of
window cord, sieze hold of q mag
pies nest with lis young, descend
to the room, wrap the young buds
in cloak, ard go to bed again. An,
Italion apo;hecary frequently arose
in his sleep and compounded medi-
cines. A very remarkable caae isthat
of an English stone mason who was
told by his employees one evening"
to go the next morning to a neigh,
boring churchyard and measure the
quanity of work done to the wall.
Waking in the night, he was aston
ished to find himself dressed, in the
open air, and in the dark. The
church clock struck two, and then
he knew he was in the 3churchyard.
When q CLEAN, of summer daylight
came. he found that he had measur
ed the wall accurately with a meas-
uring rod, and properly entered the
items in a book. This is one of the
few cases where somnambulist
"caught himself IN the act. - y

MR., DANFoRD, in his speech in the House
exonerating Speaker Kerr, told the Demo.
Gratis some hard truths. He referred to the
peculiar circumstances which surrounded the
case as presented by Harney-the appoint
ment of man to valuable place who resid-
ed in different State, who was antagonistic
to him in politics, aud whom he never knew
until introduced by Harney. Had it not been
for these circumstances, the committee would
not have deemed the charges worthy of in
vestigation. Mr.. Kerr was the victim of cir
cumstances and the malevolence of a bad
man, who was legitimate outgrowth of the
system of investigation followed for the past
six months by committees of the House. He
reviewed the testimony of Moore, and said
the committee did not believe Harney's charg-
es were the result of a conspiracy on the part
of New York officials whom Moore named.
Harney told the same story ten years ago
that he swore to before the committee; and
after one investigating committee had ex-
amined witness whose testimony was ex-
pected to smirch the private character and
destroy the domestic peace of the President,
and whose testimony had to be suppressed
because he was lunatic, and another COM
mittee had seized several hundred pounds of
private kilograms, involving the private
transactions of thousands of citizens, it was
not surprising that an occasional Harney
should be found ready to pull down the most
lofty character Great attention was paid
Mr.. Qanford's speech. 1t was dignifed and
manly, and receives commendation from both
sides of the House. His illustration of the
system of investigation now being pursued.
and the liability of any public man to be as
sailed by men like Harvey, made an impress
sion upon many of the Democratic members.

MASSACHUSETTS papers have so continual
ly extolled the Republican delegation of that
state to Cincinnati that one has been led to
expect that its members would not only be
able to impress themselves upon the people at
Cincinnati bat would lead the entire mass of
delegates to nominate any man that they
deemed the wisest and best. Imagine the
surprise OF the common man when he learns
from the specials of the Boston Advertiser
and Journal that these distinguished orators,
teachers and political optimists are in secret
caucus delivering fine political lectures to
each other, or, as these correspondents say,
holding meeting of the social science club.
One man, however, seems to be tolerably
awake, Judge E. R. Hoar, and he is for Mr..
Blaine. 1t is very strange that these learned
and eloquent leaders on the platform should
be puzzled when they are brought to the
emergency of acting.

MR.. TALBOT was certainly not the choice
OF majority of the Bangor convention. The
