How TO Cure Slceplessness.

Tho Mcdicai Examiner says: Thou-
sands suffer from wakcfulness who are
otherwise in good health. To some of
them this becomes habit, and too often
q growing one. Some resort to soporitic
drugs, and this is how the opium crave
is often initiated. Others find wine or
spirits occasionally effectual, and are
thus induced to take alcohol every
night, and not few, it is to be feared,
have in this way laid the foundation of
mtemperance. There have, however,
never been wanting people who have
found way of going to sleep without re-
sort to such measures. The mesmerists
" one time were popular, and from them
q hest of people learned that looking at
any fixed point steadily would often sue
coed in inducing sleep. In the dark,
however, this is not SO easy; but this
difficulty was not felt in Braidism, which
consisted merely in closing the eyes and
trying to think they were Watching at
tentively the streams of air entering and
leaving the nostrils. 1t was asserted
that whoever would will to see this
stream as if it We're visible would infalli-
bly, soon fall asleep. We have known
the plan succeed, and it is evidently the
same in principle as fixing the attention
on any single visible object. Another
plan has just reached us proposed by an
American physician, DR.. Cooke, who
tells us that in numerous cases of Sleep
lessness it is only necessary to breathe
very slowly and quietly for few min
utcs to secure a refreshing sleep. He
thinks that most cases depend on hyper
emia of the brain, and that in this slow
breathing the blood supply is lessened
to make an impression. Ger
tainly, when the mind is uncontrollably
active, and SO preventing sleep, we have
ascertained from patients whose observa-
lion was worth trusting, that the breath
ing was quick and short, and they have
found they became more disposed to
sleep by breathing slowly. This sup
ports DR.. Cookies practice, but at other
lines his plan quite failed. 1t is certain
y worth any ones while who is OCCASION
lily sleepless to give it trial. In doing
50 they should breathe very quietly,
'ather deeply, and at long intervals, but
not long enough to cause the least feel
ng OF uneasiness. In fine, they should
initiate person sleeping, and do it
steadily for several minutes.

American Meat in England.

At an agricultural meeting, held at
Madbury, Sir Massey Lopes warned his
bucolic hearers that they must expect
serious competition in the meat trade by
the importation of fresh carcasses from
abroad. The warming is timely and
jutlicious one, for the export of fresh
meat from New York has already become
staple trade; and the new process is
perfectly applicable to much longer voy-
ages than that from the Hudson to the
Mersey.
The Liverpool merchants who have
gone into the trade are persons of posi-
ton and standing in the commercial
world, who are determined to push the
new enterprise with vigor and determine
ton. In order to prevent repetition of
such fiascoes as that which lately threw
the whole Smithield supply into the
hands of the retail butchers of London
at about penny the pound, to be resold
to their customers at the ordinary retail
prices, the importers intend opening
shops for the sale of American fresh
meat in Liverpool, Manchester and other
provincial towns. The fact is that for
the present exorbitant price of butcher
meat the retailer is chiefly responsible;
but these special shops will keep the
butcher in order, and they may be set
up the reader that the public have al
ready become accustomed to similar
changes in the machinery of distribu-
ton.
After the butcher comes the market
salesman and last of all the farmer, who
has often good reason to complain of the
paucity of his returns. And if the
landlords take large portions of their es-
tates into their own hands, as several ex-
tensive proprietors in the north are re-
ported to be about to do, the farmers
lookout is of the darkest.

flash and CLEAN with startling bril-
liancy and force. His voice is
strong, sonorous and rich, full of
melody and power, with sort of
weird pathos and languor which it
is impossible to describe. His elo-
cution and action, his language and
style of speech are purely and dis
tinctly oratorical, betraying in everN
gesture and infection of the voice
the born orator-the man who. if a
great occasion should arise to call
forth all his energies, could stir the
pulse Of multitudeS, and rouse
Christendom to engage in a second
crusade. Beginning very slowly and
deliberately, he gives out his text
standing erect in the pulpit, with
both hands on its ledge. For a
time there is little or no action be-
yond an occasional raising of the
right hand, but as he gradually
warns to his work, the action be-
comes more vigorous and frequent,
the utterance more vehement and
rapid, until by nicely balanced and
artistically conceived gradations he
rises into the rare attitudes of fer
vid eloquence, and electrifies his
audience by one of those passion
ate and trilling outbursts which
send a delightful and indescribable
tremOr through the entire congre-
cation. This was particularly the
case when he went to describe the
Suferings Of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. At first the preacher
leant over the pulpit, and talked
familiarly to his hearers, as one
might do at his own freside. Then,
step by step, he led them on from
one phase of feeling to another,
until having prepared them for
what was to follow, he suddenly
drew himself erect, and raising his
right arm aloft, hurled forth
for there is no other word
to describe it - such a tor
rent Of descriptive eloquence
that one felt compelled to hold his
breath until it was over. AS to the
sermon itself, it was simply a plain,
straightforward, tersely expressed
description Of our Lords suffer

An Arab Tournampnt.

From Gen. McClelan's "Winter on the Nile"
Soon after our arrival five horses
were brought in, richly caparisoned
in the Moorish style-powerful
Moorish bits, with the ring encir-
cling the lower jaw; short stirrups,
serving also as spurs; the high sad
die, covered with velvet housings,
embroidered and fringed with gold;
heavy gold fringes on the neck and
breast Of the horses. All the
horses were good, some very fine.
Five sons of Sheik Achmet, all clad
in Oriental robes of brilliant silks,
all wearing the turban, now
mounted, and the sport began. 1t
consisted mainly of dashing across
the court at full speed, and sud-
denly bringing the horses on their
launches, and of riding rapidly
around one another In various cir
cleS, lunging and parrying with
long, light lance-poles, one endeav-
oring to gain the unguarded flank
of another. 1t was an admirable
display of horsemanship, and with
the fine carriage of the animals,
the superb riding, the rich and
graceful robes of the men, and the
housings of the horses, formed
"a remarkable spectacle. 1t
was a scene of another age and an.
other race, and the first thought
that occurred to all of us was that
at last we could realize the games
that graced the festivals of the AL
hambra, Among those who took
part were two very marked men
who happened to be the best and
most daring riders; these were the
Oldest and youngest of those who
rode. The elder was a powerfully
built man Of, about forty, perhaps
fiye feet eight IN hight, with an in
telligent and very determined coun-
tenance, though there was nothing
unpleasant in it. The other could
not have been more than twenty:
light and graceful as possible, with
charming face full of intelligence
and good nature, yet strong and full
of courage, he was the beau ideal
of a noble young man, while the
elder looked like a soldier hardened
by many campaigns, The young
ster's horse was trained to kneel
and lie down and rise again to the
sound of a drum, and this was the
amusing part of the exhibition. A
brace Of wild Arabs danced fran
tioally in front of the noble bay,
wildly beating their drums until he
knelt, and at last stretched himself
at full length on the ground, the
young shiek keeping his seat until
the horse rolled over on his side.

effusion than common, be remark
ed; "They receive me too well this
evening not to have use for me to-,
morrow" At another time when
NJ. Thiers was very energetic about
having the emeutes suppressed,
Bugeaud objected that he had not
sufficient force. "Ah!" cried the
minister, "if there were only in
Paris $4,000 men like myself"
"Eh, we'll" said Bugeaud, measur-
ing him with his eye, 100000 men
like you, that would be only $4,000
men,"
