For LONG TERM COMMISSIONER

For LONG TERM COMMISSIONER
In this mornings SENTINEL VIII be
found the card of Thos. S. Douglas, an
nouncing himself as a candidate for
long term Commissioner, subject to
the decision OF the Republican Con
vention. Tommy, as his friends "a
miliarly call him, is an old timer and
a true-blue Republican. During his res
idence in this community, which dates
back almost to the first settlement of
the town, he has always occupied a
prominent position among the active
leaders of his party, and to no man III
the county is that organization under
greater obligations for jealous, effec
tive work in the promotion of its prin
ciples. He has also another claim on
the community, irrespective of party,
for political prefermeDt. He has long
been prominently identified with our
Fire Department. in which capacity he
has on many occasions rendered eff
cient aid in protecting the property of
our citizens. He is q wide awake bus
ines man, and this is the chief qualif-
cation necessary in the administration
Of the office of County Commissioner.
Tommy's claim to the Office which be
seeks deserves to be favorably consid-
cred by the delegates composing the
Republican Convention.

For ADMINISTRATOR AND CORONER.
Doctor NJ. Rockman has authorized
US to say for him that he will submit
his name to the Republican County
Convention for the office of Public Ad-
niinistrator and Coroner. The Doctor
IS, of course, well qualified for the po-
sition, and from III knowledge of his
fealty to the Republican party, we
haven't the slightest doubt but what
he would be glad to "sit oil the

though absent for a time he is now
among US to remain permanently.

For CoNsTABLE.-John Hess throws
his banner to the breeze this morning
as a candidate for Cons table, subject to
the decision of the Republican Town
ship Convention. Mr.. Hess is an old
and respected citizen OF this town, pos
sesses all of the qualifications neces-
sarv to an Intelligent discharge OF the
duties of the office, and would make
an admirable candidate for the posi-
ton. He is a thorough, Conscientious
Republican, and numbers among his
acquaintance as many warm personal
and political friends as any man in the
community. His habits and character
are above reproach, and he is withal
entirely trustworthy. The Republic
ans might do a great deal worse than
to give John Hess the nomination, and
we are certain that they would find it
difficult to do much better.

AnecdOte of Talleyrand's Wife.

Talleyrand's wife vas more remarka-
bic for her beauty than her intelligence,
though it is probable that some of the
stories told Of her excessive nairete may
have been invented for her benefit, and
others may have been given to her
which originated in other quarters.
There are skeptics, for eXample-7and
NJ. Amedee Pichot is one of them-who
doubt whether the Robinson Crusoe
story, which isthe best told of her, ought
to be given to Madame de Talleyeand.
AS n stray reader here and there may
not know this anecdote il would be II
pity to omit it; it is this: Talleyrand
was going 70 entertain at dinner NJ.
Demon, Il SGrdnt, who had been to
Egypt with the army of the First Com
sui. T~alleyrand on the day, of the din
ner informed his wife that she would
have at her right ut table a learned man
and a traveller, and that she would do
well before he arrived to glance at his
volume, which she would find on his
library table. Madame de T~alleyrand,
at dinner, by way of compliment to the
author, spoke of the immense pleasure
which she had found in the narrative of
his adventures.
"But you must have found it very
tircsome being alone on a desert is
land" she said.
"Madame, l do not understand"
said NJ. Demon.
80, but you must" she said; "and
you must have been very happy when
your man Friday arrived"
Madame de Talleyrand had by mis-
take been reading the "Adventures of
Robinson Crusoe." M. de Talleyrand,
it is said, remarked on one occasion
when she had committed some such
mistake: "a witty wife can compro-
mise her husband, but a foolish wife can
only compromise herself. "-Belgraria.

Heat and Cold i'm their Relation
to Sleep.

DIR. FothcTgill writes in the Prdc-
ttioner for March: Cold is often the
cause of insomnia. If insuiicicntly
clad, SO that the cutaneous vessels are not
relaxed, sleep is rarely sound, when at
tanned ut all. 1t is only when stupefac-
ton from cold occurs that the danger
Gus coma-sleep comes on, which is so
often fatal. With many persons sleep
is impossible if the bed Is not warmed
previous to their entering it. In these
cases, the arteriole contraction, induced
by the contact with the cold bed-clothes,
does not pass readily into the opposite
condition of relaxation, and SO sleep
does not come on. This state of affairs
is very commonly met with among the
aged, and most SO in those who suffer
from some form of heart disease. In
such cases it is not only desirable to
warm the bed and the night clothes,
but ever to administer some hot fluid,
all the better for containing alcohol,
when the patient has got into bed, If any
sense of chillness remains. In the
young and healthy the chill on getting
into bed, however, is often of great
service in inducing a subsequent relax
alton of the cutaneous vessels, and thus
conducting TO more perfect cerebral
anpmia and sounder sleep. Few per.
sons will have failed to note the deer
and usually refreshing sleep which fol
lows any disturbance during the night
which has exposed them briefly to cold
Getting up to do some little
service for II sick friend, or to attend tC
some natural call, will usually lead to &
sense of chilliRess which makes the
warm bed-clothes extremely comforta
bic on again getting into bed, and which
is followed by sound sleep. Here tn,
brief contraction of the peripheral yes
sells is followed by relaxation, leading
to more complete cerebral anmmia. A
other times an increase of the bod,
temperature is the cause of disturbe,
sleep, sometimes amounting to sleep
lcssness. This is most frequently seer
in febrile states, where n delirious con
dition takes the place of natural sleep
After the temperature has been brough
: down by the application of cold, a feve'
patient will commonly fall into refresh
ing sleep, until n return to 4 fever ten
perature disturbs it. In slighter con
ditions of restlessncss, associated will
too great a body temperature, the dis
sipation of a certain amount of super
fluous heat by getting out of bed AM
2 drinking a draught of cold water vii
: usually be followed by sound sleep. A
other times, throwing off some of tn
; bedclothes will achieve the same end
though, if the amount removed be TO,
! great, wakefulness may follow from
too low temperature being brough
about. With some persons, when thu
; rest is disturbed, it is sufficient to pro
trude an arm or Il leg from under tn,
bedclothes, so as to secure more loss o
I heat, and sound sleep will follow.
