Didn't Know that He Was Sick.

A few weeks ago one of our citizens
went to bed and 10 sleep, as he says,
never feeling better in his life. In tie
morning he awoke and found his fami-
ly and neighbors standing about his bed
in state of great anxiety, and .
strange man trying to get something
sweet with q spoon into his mouth. To
his expressions Of sstonishment the re-
ply was: "Dint you know you were
sick7" "Never Was better in my life. -
"Why, you've been awfully sick. We
thought you were dead OF dying, and
here is the Doctor trying TO give you
some medicine. II was all . mystery
to him; he felt perfectly we'll; wanted
no medicine; was going to get mp. Az
ter remonstrance and Considerable
'parley, he again announced his deter.
mination to get up. He then learned
from his wife that IN the night he ut
tered ga most unearthly shriek, -
whereupon she arose quickly, struck .
light, and found him lying upon his
back rigid and in = state of insensibili-
ty. She Immediately called in the rest
of the household and some of the neigh
bors. A strong man put his hands un-
der his headto raise him and found him
ssas stiff a. croWbar." His throat
was swollen 80 that al was level from
his chin to his stomach. A sensible
lady conceived that there was virtue in
friction, and rubbed him until she was
nearly exhausted, and probably saved
his life. A physician was called, and,
as it was the patients hour TO-. getting
up when the Doctor was about to adj
minister his remedy, he awoke "never
better in his life I" He got up, went
down town as usual, called on the Doc
tor, and paid him his bill.-Bangor

When the impecunious young man Of
that place would marry sbove his sta
ton, and has no place in what the mon
eyed -Chicagoans call their society, he
enters into q conspiracy with two
or three Of. his fellow-wretches to Sc
cure romantic Introduction to the sus-
ceptible creature upon whom he has
fixed his heart. His fellows, meeting
Miss Greenbacks on the street, address
her rudely. when up steps the would

ABOUT 50 years ago . family named
Bubier went into the Maine forest north
of Lewistown and cut themselves off
completely from civilization. Recently
they rediscovered by correspondent
of the Boston CODE. Their novels were
scattered shout in the patches of cleared
land which, they had made. The va
grant family had multiplied into seve-
raj families, including over SO
persons, and was dwelling in poverty,
ignorance and sloth. The log houses
were unprovided with any thing that
could contribute to human comfort.
There was no furniture except blocks
and pieces of log. But one person
could read, and he wouldn't. Not q
book or a scrap of printed paper was
to be found in the place. Nome of the
younger generation had ever been to
the nearest town. All were profoundly
ignorant of the world, and devoid of
either religion or morality. They OBJ
tanned precarious subsistence from
such scanty crops as their lazy habits
prompted them to obtain, and from
the game of the forest and the fish Of
Dead River. In short, the Bubiers,
under the influence of nature and soil
tude, had relapsed into q barbarism
more depressing than that of the saw
ages that dwelt in those woods three
centuries ago.

THE Cardinal Archbishop of Paris,
in his Lenten Pastoral, states that mar
riages with nieces and sisters-in-law
formerly almost or quite unknown,
have lately increased in melancholy
proportion. His anxiety has been
aroused by the demand for dispense
tions for very near degrees of con-
sanguinity or affinity, and he exhorts
the faithful to strict observance of the

Remarkable Somnambulistic Perform
ance Of q Detroit Young Lady.

One of the most remarkable exhibit
tions of somnambulism ever given in
this city took place about O'Clock Sat-
urday morning near the corner of High
and Sixth Streets. The principal actor
in the serio-comic drama was an 49,
-year-old miss, named Annie Barton,
and she was first discovered by c. w.
Hedges. He was on his way home
when his attention was attracted by q
queer-looking object seated upon the
top of q grapevine arbror just over
the fence. Stopping, Mr.. Hedges
looked at the figure until he saw it
move, when he spoke to it, but received
no answer. At this juncture, Captain
C. C. Starkweather, of the Trumbull
Avenue Police Station, came along
Sixth Street on his way home. He was
stopped by Mr.. Hedges, who pointed
out the queer figure, and they were not
long in doubt as to the nature OF the
apparition. "It's a woman" said
Capt. Starkweather, /" and she must be
asleep!" continued Mr.. Hedges. Ar
irving at that conclusion, the men
opened the gate, and, walking to the
arbor, called the sleeping girl, but re-
ceived no reply. Capt. Starkweather
then began climbing up the arbor, at
which the girl started on lively run,
and, going the whole length of the ar
Dor roof, made a jump, clearing space
of about eight feet, alighting on the
roof of q woOd-shed. Z
This maneuver astonished the men,
who awakened Mr.. Thompson and his
family and told them that there was q
sleep.walker upon their wood-shed.
Soon Mr.. Thompson, his wife and SON
Joined Mr.. Hedges and the Captain in
the chase. What was their surprise to
find Miss Barton had clambered from
the shed to the wing, and thence to the
apex of the roof of the main building,
where she stood quietly leaning against
the chimney. Finally ladder was pro-
cured and young Thompson climbed to
the side of the roof, but, getting there,
found it so covered with snow and ice
that it was impossible for him to reach
the girl. So down he came, and the
ladder was carried to the front of the
house where it was putin position with
one end against the roof-peak. This
time Capt. Starkweather took off his
boots and climbed up. The girl stood
quiet y until he was within . few feet
Of her, when she ran toward the wing,
and sliding went from one roof to the
other; thence she jumped back to the
grape arbor, and before any Of the men
could get to her jumped to the ground,
and, dashing through back gate, ran
up High Street. The chase was con-
tinued to the Crawford Street Park,
where she was captured. Then it was
found that SIZE was completely dressed,
with the exception of hat and shawl,
and that during all of her hazardous
midnight ramble had not received the
slightest injury. She was taken to the
Trumbull Avenue Police Station until
her relatives, being notified, put in ap-
pearance and took her in charge. This

Nine. Octavia Walton LIE Vert.
This gifted, charming and widely
known lady died yesterday, near Au-
gusta, Ca, after long life, which was
not without trouble, but which was
also full of honors and successes. Nine.
LIE Vert came of distinguished stock.
Her grandfather, George Walton, a
native of Prince Edward County, Va,
was one of the signers of the Declara-
ton OF Independence. He was men,
Der of the First Congress, convened at
Philadelphia, and held successfully the
offices of Governor of Georgia and
Judge of the Supreme Court. George
Walton, the second son of this couple,
was educated at Princeton, N. j., and
married Miss Sallie Minge Walker, the
daughter of distinguished lawyer of
Georgia. Octavia was the result of
this marriage, having been born at
Belle Vue, near Augusta. Shortly after
her birth her parents moved to Florida,
of which State General Jackson was
then Governor. ~ =, =T. 81
Col. Walton succeeded the General
in the Governorship of the new State
The seat of government was then at
Pensacola, but during Gov. Walton's
administration was removed to "Talla-
hassee," this Indian name signifying
the {" beautiful land, being selected :or
the new capital by his daughter Octa-
via. The first public notice taken of
the young Octavia was at Mobile during
the last visit there of Gen. Lafayette.
This distinguished General having been
on terms Of intimate frindship with
her grandfather during the Revolu-
tionary struggle, the Committee of
Reception presented the young girl 70
his notice. The old General gsaed up
on her for few minutes, then, burst
ing into tears, caught the child to his
heart, exclaiming, 1.-THE living image

that time has fully borne out this predic-
ton. Shortly after the removal of her

One of them pronounced q eulogium
upon the character of the deceased, the
usual prayers were recited, and the
coffin was lowered into the grave. The
grave-diggers had begun to fill it in
with clay when they heard several
knocks given from within the coffin.
Terrified, they ran to call the curate
and inform the Mayor, in the presence
of both of which personages the coffin
was opened. Horrible spectacle!"
says the paper from which this is trans
lated. "The unfortunate youth, who
had been buried alive while in state
of lethargy, had made desperate efforts
to break open the lid of the coffin, but
uselessly, and had died of asphyxia. :"

naming at Paris three years his patron
induced him to study mining engineer
ing. and for four years he followed this
pursuit In France, Germany, and Swift

in 1889, he was appointed a captain on
