TEE PHILOSOPHY OF SLEEP.
why we sleep and Dream.

One Of the most interesting theories as. to
the philosophy of sleep is that now prupounded
by Sommer, the German Psychologist, his doc
Urine being that sleep is nothing else than The
result of the degeneration Of the organism.
According to this theory, the blood and the
tissues possess the property OF storing up the
oxygen inhaled, andsthen supplying it in pro
portion to the requirements OF the economy
When this store OF oxygen is exhausted, or
even becomes too small it no longer suf1ices
to maintain the vital activity Of the organs,
the brain nervous system, muscles, etc, and
the body falls into that particular state which
Is called sleep During the continuance OF this
deep repose, fresh quantities OF oxygen are
being stored up IN the blood, to act as a sup
ply to the awakened vital powers, and in this
simple and beautiful way Is the economy of
the system maintained
1t may be said that anything which tends
TO withdraw the circulation OF blood from the
brain is calculated to promote sleep, and
hence it is that, during the process. OF diges-
tion when a large quantity of blood is divert
ed 10 the stomach, most people feel an inclina-
ton to sleep This was the philosophy Of
hot alcoholic drinks Immediately before bed
time as also of warm footbaths, which di-
verified the circulation from the brain to the
stomach. Deep thought is an enemy to
sleep, because it has directly opposite effect,
and creates O morbid activity of the brain.
Examination Of the brains both OF animals
and men, made when asleep. show that, when
unaffected by dreams, the brain is in quies-
cent state during sleep. The entire energy Of
the brain is never entirely used up, but it
sinks to n point at which, in the absence OF all
external stimuli, it is incapable OF maintaining
functional activity
The partial activity OF the brain is gener-
ally considered reasonable explanation Of
dreaming. Conscious activity belongs to the
hemispheres proper of the brain. The curs
rent OF ideas may be coherent Or incoherent
the fact being that the most vivid association
which is commonly the latest dominates over
the rest. DR. Reid, the great metaphysician,
dleamt of being scalped by al Indian the
fact was, he had a blister on his head. The
eminent DIR. Gregory through having hot
water bottle at his feet, dreant Of walking up
the crater of Htna. A troublesome corn will
make a man dream Of serpents biting his
foot, and a ringing in the ears has caused
dreams of marriage bells. The blue devils
and other horrors seen by the victims of de
lirium trelnens are analagously accounted for.
Visceral conditions are known to be most
frequent sources of dreams: thus, the hungry
will frequently be dreaming of feasts, the
thirsty of water, and the dropsieal of drown

SLOWLY but surely the railroads of this
country are becoming consolidated, and gi-
gantic monopolies are springing up that will
ere long control the entire business of trans
portation. In the near future we will see
one or two corporations of fabulous wealth
managing the entire railway system of the
country from the Atlantic to the Mississippi
and from the great lakes to the gulf. Mon
days election of officers of the Michigan
Central road witnessed the absorption of
that company by the Vanderbilt interest,
already controlling an immense network of
railways between New York and the West.
It was but an accident, two weeks ago, that
the Union Pacific did not gain control of
the Chicago q Northwestern, and the Hi
nois Central is constantly extending its arms

SENATOR DORSEY, of Arkansas, has written
letter to tho clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives, in which he states that sit has
been matter of the most public notoriety
that parties have been i'll Washington dur
ing the late session lobbying against any
legislation in relation to the Hot Springs
reservation in Arkansas, and boasting in the
corridors of the capitol that no bill relating
thereto should become law until they were
satisfactorily paid or bought off by those for
whose benefit the legislation was supposed
to be Intended It is hardly probable that
Senator Dorsey would make such grave
charges unless he was in possession of the
facts to substantiate them. If he knows the
names of the lobbyists he should at once
give them to the public, that they may
be proceeded against according to law. A
thorough investigation by the criminal
officers of the District would no doubt result
in the exposure and punishment of the
guilty.

JUDGE CAMPBELL confirms Anderson's-
testimony as to the blank affidavit prepared
for him to sign, by stating that frequently
such blanks existed, but in this particular
instance he did not particularly notice them.
It seems to have been common practice, in
Louisiana to sign affidavits i'll b]ank-so
common that such matters were scarcely
noticed. Judge Campbell also gives an in
sight into the disregard for the forms of law
habitual in that section by stating that he
did not have the returns of the parish of East
Feliciana present at the time the affidavit
was sworn to. Information had come to
him that the reason the protests of the
supervisors had not been attached to the
returns sent by mail was because it was not
safe to do SO, and he was very clear in bis
opinion, if such fact appeared, it would be
