He graduated with fair rank and has

airy, colored regiment now on the Texas
frontier The last number of Frank
Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper contains
an excellent likeness of Flipper, dressed
in his cadet uniform. His features be-
tray his intelligence and indicate the
culture which he has acquired by hard
study.
His arrival here was the occasion of a
buzz about the Union depot. His parents
and number of intimate friends were
present to receive him, and the scene was
an interesting one to all concerned.
Oats him ~ said dozen of the GU

to query from a strange negro who has
moved here since Flipper went away.
But the young officer was speedily
spirited out of the crowd and taken home
| to his little bed for rest. On the streets
he was greeted by many of our citizens
who knew him and who have watched his
career with interest. His success was
complimented, and he was urged ~ pur-
sue his course in the same spirit hereafter.
Among his colored friends he was lion,

FLIPPER AT HOME,
How that COIored :sGazette" Made
n Sensation.

Atlanta Constitution.
Clips done come home !" was the IA
miliar and vet admiring manner in which
the young negroes about town yesterday
spread the information that Second
Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper, of the
Tenth Cavalry, and the first colOred
graduate of the United States Military
Academy at West Point, had arrived.
His coming has created quite a sensation
in colored circles, and when he appeared
upon the streets last evining, taking a
drive with his delighted father, he was
the cynosure of all the colored people,
and the object of curious glances from
the whites. The young man had ''been
there before" however, and took all the
ogling with patience and seeming indiffer-
ence. Once In a while he would recog-
nize an old acquaintance and greet him
with smile and bow.
He was born in Townsville, Thomas
county, Ga, March 21,s1S56, and is now
past twenty-one years of age. He was
born the property of Rev. r. H. Leckey,
aMethodist minister of Townsville. His
father was the slave of E. G. Ponder,
who afterwards bought Henry and his
| mother and moved with them to Atlanta.
This gentleman also owned John F.
| ouarles, recently appointed Consul to
| Malaga, Spain. This young Quaries had
the rudiments of an education, and he
gave young Flipper his first instruction.

Sound sleep.
sirabie.

1t is wonderful how much may be done
to protract existence bv the habltual res
torative of sound sleep. Late hours un
der strain are of course, Incompatible
with this solacement. On this topic DR..
Richardson says it has been painful for
him to trace the beginnings of pulmonary
consumption to late hours at ''unearthly
balls and evening parties" by which rest
is broken and encroachments made on the
constitution But, he adds, eff in mid
die age the habit of taking deficient and
irregular sleep be maintained, every
source of depression, every latent form of
disease is quickened and intensified. The
sleepless exhaustion allies itself with all
other processes of exhaustion, or it kills
imperceptibly, by rapid introduction of
premature old age, which leads directly
to premature dissolution" There at once,
is an explanation why many people die
earlier than they ought to do. They
violate the primary principle of taking a
regular nights rest. IF they sleep it is
disturbed. They dream all sorts of nom
sense. That is to say, they do not sleep
soundly, or for any useful purpose; for
dreaming is nothing more than wild, i'm
aginative notions passing through the
brain while half sleeping or doing. In
dreaming there is no proper or restorative
rest.

THE SILENT CAPTAIN
How SGOneNvaI jackson Slept
His Singular ReIiceHce.

Col. kyd Douglas in the Philadelphia
Weekly Times.l
General Jackson's troops and his en-
emy's believed he never slept; the fact
is, he slept great deal. Whenever he
had nothing else to do he went to sleep,
especially in church. | remember du-
ring the invasion of Maryland, on Sun
day night he rode three miles in an am
bulance to attend church in Frederick,
and then fell asleep as soon as the minis
ter began to preach his head fell upon
his breast, and he never awoke until
aroused by the organ and choir He
could sleep anywhere and in any posi-
ton, sitting in his chair, under fire, or
on horseback. On a night march toward
Richmond, after the battles with Nc
CIellan, he was riding along with his
drowsy staff, nodding and sleeping as he
went We passed by groups of men sit
ting along the roadside, and engaged in
roasting new corn by fires made Of fence
rails. One group took us for cavalry
men, with an inebriated captain, and one
of the party, delighted at the sight of a
man who had found whisky enough to
be drunk, sprang up from the fire and,
brandishing roasting ear IN his hand,
Ieaped down into the road, and Selling
the general horse, cried out, 81 say,
old fellow, where the devil did you get
your liquor?" In an instant, as the gen
eral awoke, the fellow saw his mistake !;
and then bounding from the road he took
the fence at a single leap, exclaiming,
Good God, it's old jack" and disap-
peared in the darkness. Yes. General
Jackson slept a great deal, but he was
never caught mapping
| He gave to sleep many moments
| which other men would have given to
conversation. He was essentially a ST
lent man; not morose, but quiet. He
smiled often, rarely laughed. He never
told Joke, but did not discourage them
in others, and if one struck his peculiar
fancy he would smile in mild approval
He did not live apart from his staff, hut
liked to have them about him, and they
were nearly all very young men. Uni
| versally polite IN manner, he encouraged
the liveliest conversation with them, al
though he took little part in it. tie was
not a man of words they seemed to EN-
barrass him. When he had ideas he pu
them into action, not into language. Hi
military dispatches were as brief as i
studied, like the one he sent after the de
feat of Milroy "God blessed our arm
with victory at Mcdowell yesterday
He never discussed his plans; indeed
he never told them. The next officer un
der him never knew his intention nor oh
iect. He never volunteered his opinion
to his superior, nor asked advice of hi
f subordinates. He was as selt-reliaut a
