ABOUT SLEEP.

Although sleep is natural and involun'
tary state, it may be greatly prompted by
maintaining good state of health, by daily
open air exercise, or by riding or sailing
with the face exposed to the air; by having
the stomach free from heavy meal or any
indigestible substance, and by the mind being
undisturbed with cares. Over.fatigue-in
diligence in food or drink beyond what ma
ture requires, want Of proper exercise and
mental disquietude, are all causes Of sleepless:
ness. Breathing in confined or overheated
apartment is also not an unusual cause of bro
ken slumber. The temperature most suitable
for sleep is about sixty degrees, which gives
the sensation of neither heat nor cold, and
admits of moderate amount of bed cloth
ing being used. The best posture for sleep is
to lie on the right or left side, with the arms
crossed over the breast in front, and the head
we'll up, on the pillow. The mouth should
be shut, so that the breathing may be carried
on exclusively throug the nose. Some per-
sons acquire a habit of sleeping with the
mouth open, whi.h causes the grotesque and
offensive action of snoring. Going to sleep
while lying on the back should be avoided, as
besides inducing sleeper to snore, it is
apt to cause disturbing dreams. When ly'
ing down to sleep, the mind should be as COM
posed as possible. Thinking ought to be
guarded against, as productive Of wakeful'
ness Those who, from nervous irritability,
are habitually bad sleepers, resort to various
expedients to secure the blessing of repose.
One of the most successful plans consists in
mentally repeating familiar poem or psalm,
so as to alter the train of thought and lull the
consciousness. 1t is a we'll ascertained tact
that sleep begins at the extremities that the
feet sleep first and then the rest of the person.
On this account, in order to fall asleep, we
require not only to compose the thinking fac
ulties, but to keep the feet still. The feet
must also have an agreeable warmth. With
a consciousness of this fact the North Ameri'
can Indians and others who are in the habit
of bivouacking in the open air when on dis
tant expeditions, sleep with their feet to.
ward fire which they kindle for the pur:
pose. Certain drugs act as an opiate and
produce sleep when ordinary means fail ;
but these should never be taken unless by
medical sanction. The practice of using
opiates is most detrimental to health, and, if
persegered In, Is ruinops to the constitution.
Coffee and other beverages act variously on
different individuals They exhilarate some,
and others send to sleep. Tea usually acts as
an exhilarant, by stimulating the nervous
system, and should not be taken less than four
hours before going to bed.

JUDAH p. BENJAMEN.

"I was ffty-six years of age whenI came to
London" So said proudly one OF the most
extraordinary men of the present age, as |
conversed with him in his chamber in Lamb
buildings in the Temple. Need | say that it
was Judah Philip Benjamin, ex- United States
Senator from Louisiana, ex-Attorney Gener.
al, ex.Secretary of War and ex-Secretary of
State of the Confederate States, and now the
foremost Queens counsel in London. Was
there ever career more remarkable than
this? Although fifty.six years Of Mr.. Benja-
minis life were passed in the United States, it
seems that he was born an Englishman. His
parents, he told me, were natives OF the little
island of Newsstand not of Santo Domingo,
as has often been asserted-in the British
West Indies, and he was born on British
ship en- voyags to America. After course at
Yale College he practiced at the New Orleans
bar until 1852, when he was elected United
States Senator. From 1852 to 1860 he was a
prominent member of the Senate, finally leav-
ing that body after personal declaration of
independence" on the floor of the Senate
chamber to join the secession movement. In
February, 1861, he became SUCCESSFULLY Con-
federate Attorney General, Secretary Of War
and Secretary of State. In 1865, at the close
of the civil war, Mr.. Benjamin crossed the
Atlantic and Sought fresh fields and pastures
new for the employment of bis legal abili-
ties He is now sixty. eight years of age
and young man at that. Very seldom, in
deed, does one meet man who, having almost
attained the scriptural three score years and
ten, looks and acts like man of forty. Mr..
BENJAMIN is the best preserved man I have
ever seen with the exception of the late Lord
Palmerstop, of whom somebody said he had
"a genius for keeping young" Close to the
ancient Temple Church-wherein are buried
so many doughty knights Templar with legs
crossed, to prove that they bore the cross in
the Crusades comfortably seated in elegant
chambers, l found Mr.. Benjamin. In En-
gland solicitor has an "ofice," but barris-
ters never descend beneath the dignity of
"chambers." l have visited many suites Of
chambers in the four Inns Of Court-the In
uer Temple, Middle Temple, Lincoln's Ipn
and Gray's Inn-but had never previously
seen any as cosy and pleasant as those Of the
Anglo-American Queens Counsel.
Rarely have met smile so genial as that
which welcomed me from the little gentleman
whom Abraham Lincoln considered the
"smartest" of all the Richmond Revolutions
ry Junta. Mr. Benjamin's phypique is emf.

ern type which so nearly resembles the tradi-
tional John Bull-re6ned and Enlightened" ="
"Nobody will call you a Yankee, any way" )"

born what he now is-an Englishman, The

PRESENCE OF MIND.-A Bushman, who
encountered lion, outwitted the animal in
a very curious way. The huge animal met
him when long way from home. Assured
that he had his victim completely in his pow
er, he began to sport and daily with him with
feline jocosity, The lion would appear at
q point in the road and leap back again into
the jungle, to reappear again little further
on. But the Bushnan did not lose his pres.
euce of mind, and presently hit upon plan
by which to outwit his foe. Aware that the
brute was ahead of him, he lodged to the
right. When the lion discovered that the man
had suddenly disappeared, he was good
deal perplexed. He roared with mortifca-
ton; then he espied the Bushman peeping
at him over the grass. The Bushman at once
changed his position, while the lion stood ir-
resolate in the path, following with his eyes
the shifting black man. In another moment
the little man rustled the reeds, vanished,
and showed himself at another point. This
was unexpected and disconcerting. The
great brute was at first confused, and then
alarmed. 1t evidently began to dawn upon
him that he had mistaken the position of
matters, and that he was the hunted party.

How THE FRIENDS PUT TIT can n.never
be said that the Society of Friends divorces
religion from morals. Among the formal
queries propounded concering its members at
various monthly and yearly meetings, are such
as the following, which might be wisely con-
sidered in other branches Of the Christian
church,
:."Are Friends clear of themanufaeture and
sale Of all intoxicating beverages; are they
careful to discourage their use as q drink !;
and is due caution observed in the use thereof
as medicine?" care Friends careful to
live within the bounds of their circumstances,
and to keep moderation in their business /;
are they punctual to their promises, and just
in the payment Of their debts and are such
as give reasonable grounds for fear on these
accounts, timely labored with for their preser.

A SOCIAL CoNTRETEMPs IN NORTH CARO-.
L1NA.-On the 3rd day of this month, the
quiet little town Of Hendersonville, N. c.,
was thrown in Autter Of excitement over a
social sensation, which, on that day, came to
light, involving some prominent people. On
March 5, j. Fl. Carter, of New York, mar
ried Miss Josephine Bond, Of Henderson
county. Several months before the wedding,
the gentleman, perhaps 40 years Of age, plain.
ly clad, but evidently q man Of education and
culture, arrived in Hendenonville, secured
board, and for some time after his arrival
led quite retired life. Though extremely
reticent as to his personal affairs, he was
nevertheless courteous and polite, and con-
versed with ease and Huency to those town
people who approached him. He was un.
doubtedly man of the world, travelled ex-
tensively both in Europe and America and
was brilliant and accomplished converse
tionalist. He represented himself to be ma
tive Of New York and a master mechanic,
whose health had necessitated q change Of eli
mate. Carter died sometime after the mar.
riage. It turned out he had wife in New
York, who came to Hendersonville, had the
body exhumed, looked at it and had it taken
to New York, and now the astounding fact
transpires that Carter was not Carter, but

ORIGIN OF THE "STAR SPANGLED BAN.
NER."-The bombardment of Baltimore COM
menced at eight o'clock on the morning Of
September 13, 1874, and continued twenty
four hours. The garrison at Fort McHenry
saw the flag of truce carried, during the bonn
bardment, by the small boat in which Francis
Scott Key visited the British feet to obtain
the release of his friend, DR.. Beanes, of Prince
George county, Maryland, who had been made
a prisoner of war and was on board Of one Of
the ships, where he was detained until the
firing had ceased. On the cessation Of the
bombardment Mr. Key was permitted to leave
the enemy's ships and was rowed to the fort,
bearing with him tho song Of the "Star Span.
gled Banner" which he had composed during
the watches of the night. Soon after he land
ed, the rough draft of the verses, as he had
Just written them down on the back of a let
ter while coming ashore in the rowboat, we're
handed around and some of the garrison made
copies of them. Judge Nicholson, the cap.
tain Of the artillery company, and Mr.. Key
had married sisters, and the Judge seems to
have been the 6rst person to whom the au-
thor showed the verses. The same night, at
his hotel in Baltimore, Mr.. Key wrote out a
fair copy of the verses as they now stand, and
the next day gave copy to Judge Nicholson,
who had the song published, and it was sung
publicly, for the first time, shortly afterward
in the Holiday Street Theatre. Col. Cohen
was very distinct in his remembrance that the
song was copied by some of the soldiers at the
fort and no doubt it was shown to Judge
Nicholson there.-Bahimore Sun.

DIpHrHER1A.-The two methods Of treat
ing diphtheria, with chlorate of potash and
bydrats of chloral, have been combined by
DR.. Cesare Ciattaglia, Of Rome, and as he
claims, with remarkable success. He dis
solves drachm Of hydrate Of chlorai in FIVE
drachms Of glycerine, and applies it to the
false membranes three or four times day,
by means of camel's hair brush. OF the
chlorate Of potash he gives from two and q
half to four draohms day, dissolved in four
and half ounces of water, to children of
from three to six years, and an ounce to
adults With these medicines he always
combines tonic and restorative diet. From
the moment the chloral is applied to the false
membrane it ceases to spread, and the char
acteristic fetor from. the mouth is found to
disappear on the first or second day ofits ap-
plication.

INFLUENCE OF WoMEN.-If We wish to
know the political or moral condition of a
State, we must ask what rank women hold in
it. Their influence embraces the whole oflife.
