WASHINGTON, July l1.-rhe White
House messenger says he saw Guitteau
prowling about the White House grounds
the night before the shooting.
There is a mystery as to a woman IN
black who comes about the Jail talking
with the authorities and claiming to have
some papers which may be important IN
the case. She is understood to think that
another man from New York, alleging
himself to be a lawyer, is connected with
the crime. She is said to be Mrs. Char

Guilty some persons find IN getting to Sleep
Habit greatly helps the performance OF
tile initial act, and the cultivation Of a
habit OF going to sleep in 4 particular way,
at q particular time, will do mOrt, to pro-
cure regular and healthy sleep than any
other srtitfce. The formation Of the habit
is, in fact. the creation or development of
n special center, Oh. combination, III the
nervous system, which will henceforWard
produce sleep IS a natural rythmical pro-
cess. 1t this were more generally recOg-
nized, persons who suffer from sleepiess-
ness Of the sort which consists in simply
being unable to go to sleep would set
themselves resoIutely TO form such Il habit.
Its necessary that the training should be
explicit and include attention to details.
1t is not very important what Il person does
with the intention Of going to sleep, bit
he should do precisely the same thing, in
the same way, at the same time, and under
as nearly as possible the same conditions,
night after night fora considerable period,
say three or four weeks at least.

During the heated discussions upon
the general Stock Law bill, in both
Houses OF our General Assembly,
painful presages and predictions
have fallen from the lips Of many
members Of the opposition in regard
to the baleiul political results that
would flow from the passage of this
Act. These gentlemen have men
toned nc particular countlrs; but ii
any one .inagines or says that tht
loyalty oil the citizens Of Edgefeld
County to the Democratic party
could be affected by this or any other
legislation which is for the benefit oi
the whole State, then we scorn tine
imE,utation, and we know the men OF
Edgefeld will bear US out. A large
and very respectable party in our
county will have to sacrifice not only
their opinions but their interests.

and scions Of pure old Edgefeld
blood, they Will be capable OF tie
