I like warp and welt, alternates without
mixing, the warp presenting continuity
at one time and the welt the same at
another One of these alterations oc-
ours more often in sleep, when the or
binary mental power is no longer gov
. erned; and hence the attack is called
somnambulism. The somnambulist will
weave the somnambulism of one night
with that of the preceding into con-
] tinuous warp or welt, and so with the
ordinary mental power; and thus the
two Identities alternate, but do not mix
This alternating identity will, however,
occasionally force itself into the waking
hours, and thus the two identities divide
the unhappy being between them.
A young lady under my observation
exhibited an instance of this. For some
time somnambulist, the alternating
identity at length became strong enough
to intrude upon her waking hours. Her
ordinary perceptive and voluntary pow
ers would be suddenly arrested during
the day, and whether at music or work
no matter how employed-the in
terruption was sudden and instantane-
Gus. If at the piano or harp, voluntary
movement ceased at the moment; if
walking across the floor, she remained
in the position in which she was when it
occurred, and remained thus for a Ion
ger or shorter time. She would sit at
dinner apparently as cheerful and col
lected as as any one at the table. AT
the time of which 1 speak, it was Gus
tomary for guests to take wine with one
another. A gentleman would ask her
to take wine. She bowed her head as
usual; and, in raising the glass to her
mouth, there suddenly passed over her
face and figure slight but indescriba-
BILE shudder. She Immediately lost all
knowledge of those about her, and would
address them with names quite foreign
to them. This state would continue for
two days, until at dinner on the third
day she would turn to her relative and
say in her natural tone: "Did you not
ask me to take wine?' Her natural
state then returned; but those altera-
lions became more frequent and more
painful, until at length the unfortunate
girl was deprived of the society of all
but her nearest relatives.
Cases of sleep-walking are by no
means unfrequent, and the habit some
times runs in families. In family with
which we are connected, the children
while young were all more or less ad-
dicted to sleep-walking. One of the
younger branches, girl of 10, on one
occasion rose from her bed, and, walk
ing down stairs, entered the drawing
room, where were assembled a few
guests. Fortunately the girls habit was
known to most of the company, who,
instead of evincing a horror of the I'M
wonted visitor, treated the matter in a
philosophic light, and even maintained
their usual conversation as the girls
father took her hand and led her up
stairs to bed. Had the somnambulist
been rudely awakened, the consequence
might have been serious; and the calm
demeanor of the spectators and judi
cious management of the girls parent
on the occasion we have related, may,
perhaps, act as hint to others who
may be similarly situated. Never awake
a Sleep-walker if it can possibly be
avoided.-EDIToR CHAMBERs's JOUR-

A New Kind of Wine.

A few days ago, says the San Antonio
Freie PreSSe, one of our subscribers sent
us "a few bottles of wine. When the
bottles were delivered at our residence
we did not know whittier or from whom
the bottles were. Judging by the color of
the fluid and the manner of cOrking we
took it to be Texas wine. Now we must
admit, that while there are right good
wines made in Texas, as general thing
we have a kind of horror of most of
them. We have been complimented
with bottles of mustang wine that was
almost as bad as the celebrated Schleisan
cannon wine, so called because it was so
sour that it would draw up even the
mouth of a cannon. We therefore
were rather cautious about tampering
with that wine from Austin County.
Finally, we cooled it and tried glass,
touching it very lightly, however. To
our surprise we found it really excellent.
We supposed it to be from grapes not
unlike those of which the California
wine is made. 1t had the color and the
sweet taste, and the aroma of Spanish
or Italian wine, and couple of glasses
were decidedly exhilarating. We were
very anxious to know who grew the
grapes from which such excellent wine
had been made. There was letter in
the office from Mr. William Hagemann,
in New Ulm, Austin County, who is the
kindly gentleman who had sent the wine
to the editor of the Freie PreSSe. who
can, however, imagine our astonish-
ment when we learned from Mr..
Hagemann's letter that we had
been drinking wine made from toma-
toes. We had tried cider, and also
know that the English make right
good wine from gooseberries, but wine
from tomatoes could not get into our
head, Notwithstanding we felt the effect
of it in that region very distinctly. In
summer any quantity of tomatoes is
grown. Why, every body might have
cellar full of wine of his own. Mr..
Hagemann writes: al have got up
drink from tomatoes, which, while it
does not come up to genuine wine, GER
tainly lays over the mustang wine in
taste, and is certainly much more
healthy. The tomato is as healthy as
beverage as it is as food, and in this
country, where so many are troubled
with their hvers, this wine will be a pos
tive benefit. As far as this beverage
goes, last year made about a thousand
gallons, which was so much liked that
in April l had none left. This year 1
made 1900 gallons. As it is in reality
cider, which is not taxable either by the
State or United States, owing to the bell
punch tax, there is great demand for
it among the grocers. l call my drink
by the proper name, tomato CIDER
and any merchant can sell it without
paying any tax. ~

TRIMMING trees between the shedding

TRIMMING trees between the shedding
of their leaves in autumn and before the
sap begins TO rise into the limbs in spring
is the most convenient time for the
farmer, as he is then most at leisure.
When this is done close to the body of
the tree, the wound should be covered
with shellae or some kind of wax But
the method l frequently follow is to cut
off the limb few inches from the body
of the tree and let it remain until June,
then cut it close to the tree. At this
time the bark and body are growing
rapidly, and they soon cover the spot
where the limb was cut off and leave no
scar or knot.-N. Y. Tribune.

A WRITER in the n. Y. Tribune says ::
Winter squash is not only more nutri-
tious and palatable than pumpkins for
ones own table, but also to feed to stock.
We have given up raising the latter on
this account, and only cultivate the for
mer. 1t is true we do not get so large
a quantity of winter squash per acre as
Of pumpkins; but it is so much less
waterv, and so much more nutritious,
the better quality more than compen-
safes for the lesser quantity. The mo-
ment they begin to ripen one ought to
commence feeding them, as animals de-
rive greater nourishment from them in
mild weather, rather than in cold. De-
tober and November are probably the
best months to feed them; if delayed till
December, and they get frozen, they
will do animals little good. 1t is much
more difficult to keep pumpkins and
squashes than roots, for they can not
be buried in the GROUND for preservation
like them, and stored in a cellar, or any
warm place, they are apt to rot fast.
We have kept them longest and best In
winter, piled on the barn floor or hay
loft covered thickly with straw or coarse
hay.

Chinese Labor in the South.

The Natchez Democrat says that the
sum of SIC, 900 has been raised in Tensas
Parish for the purpose of bringing
Chinese labor there, and that Judge H
r. Steele has gone to California to enter
the opening wedge, as far as Tensas Is
concerned, with that amount. The New
Orleans Democrat states that two months
ago well known gentleman, appreci-
ating the effects of the heeira, at once
opened correspondence with Chinese
agents in San Francisco for the purpose
oflearning upon what terms Chinese la
Dor might be introduced here, and that
the result was most satisfactory. Fur
Their correspondence developed the fact
that this labor could be supplied at a
rate much lower than that now paid.
and there was no limit to the number OF
hands who could be shipped on short
notice.
The availability of Chinese labor in
the Southern fields has already been
tested successfully; and the effect of the
colored exodus will be to compel its in

may stop, as it no doubt will. at an

of competition between the two systems.

As Congress has no jurisdiction over the
subject, we should object to it, but since
bills to appropriate money from the

the South, have been introduced with a
view to agitation to accomplish Indirect

ter, and to depopulate certain States,
for partisan uses-the inquiry is proper.

THE St Louis Globe-Democrat Re
pubIican) admits after full investiga-
ton, that the 'colored people are not
abandoning their old homes in the South
because they have been deprived of
their political rights" 1t attributes the
movement to high charges for rent,
saving the laborer was compelled to pay
SO per acre for land, besides other
charges This is nearly double the
amount actually paid on the rich alluvi-
al bottom lands the past season. The
usual charge for land was eighty pounds
of lint cotton, which at eight cents per
pound amounts to So 40. For this rent
the Iaborer was provided with house for
his family, a garden, and enjoyed the
use Of the pastures and premises Of the
proprietor for his stock, and also used
his gin free Of charge. In the uplands
the rents varied anywhere from 81 to
So per acre according to contract, with
the extra privileges above described.
If they wanted to purchase improved
places by paying a part cash, they could
be accommodated at from 50 to 50 per
acre. In addition to all these material
comforts, free schools are provided in
every police beat for the children of the
colored race, equally as for the white.
As for the "hard times" they have
fallen upon all alike, but no matter what
other class failed to enjoy the opportu-
mites of comfortable subsistence the
colored people did not All they had
to do to secure the necessaries and even
the comforts of life, was to utilize the
capital in the way Of land, teams, farm
ing implements, &c, which was placed
at their disposal almost upon any terms
they would ask.
