The Sixty Day Sleeper.


The Sleeping Beauty of the dav is q
long, slender German youth, who is slnm-
bering at Trexlertown, Penn, and has
been for more than sixty days. Various
efforts have been made to wake him; a
revolver has been discharged close to his
ear; he has been subjected to the opera
ton of galvanic battery pins and nee
dies have been pushed into his flesh. and
a red hot iron has been passed up and
down his spinal column The miIdest of
these applications would have induced
DIR. Watts's sluggard 20 admit that he
had not been called too soon, and that he
did not wish to slumber again. This
Somnolent paragon takes his victuals reg
ularly in soft or liquid form, in the
shape of boiled eggs and beef tea. He
is stranger, and when he walked fast
asleep into the hotel sixty days ago they
thought him to be an impostor, especially
after he had occupied bed for several
days and nights without paying for it.
So they pulled his arm, twisted his ears
and twltched his hair, but all 10 no pur.
pose. He was accordingly carried still
sleeping to the almshouse, where he at
present rcposes and Snores lie has been
visited by great number of doctors, who
have given great number OF opinions,
the most satisfactory one being that there
Is something wrong in the lack part OF
the slumberer's brain. Whether he
dreams is what no doctor can find out
This curious case of life in death we al
Jude TO with some miSgiving, for fear that
in this lazy world it may prove epidemic.
Some of the tramps of the period NAV
take it into their heads that sleeping is
better way of getting living than per-
ambulating from hamlet to hamlet, and
our opinion is, that in little while. ratll-
er than work, they would stand the PIN
and-needle and the hot iron tests without
a wink, especially if furnished constantly
with consolation in the form of soft bon
ed eggs. There is but one other instance
in history of such prolonged nap--lrav-
ing the Seven Sleepers out of the qucs-
ton. Our readers will perhaps recall the
case of the Fat Boy in the Pickwick
Papers He, however, took bis meals
regularly, nor was he to be put of with
Sott-boilcd eggs and beef tea Mean
while the authorities Of ''rcxlrttown have
the worst of it. \ perpetual sleeper with
good appetite will be chargeable, and
unless a small fee is demanded for admis-
sion to gaze upon the phenomenon, this
drowsy stranger will prove a very ele-
ment OF a pauper-N. T. Ti7JtHc

Rhode Island, Delaware or Oregon, and
in excess of that of half dozen Terrific
ries put together
Smyrna times., 1881-05-18

The days when nothing was sold in
San Francisco for less than dime, and
even that minimum price was almost a
badge of disgrace in the eyes of people
who remembered the golden days of IT, e
half-dolar, have passed away forever
Californians have passed their period of
contempt for small coins and the chnk of
the nickle is heard in the land. The Bull
htia regards this fact as an indication of
the healthy financial condition of the
community. People purchase less of
what they do not want and of necessary
articles only what they need. and have
ceased to fear the derision of those who
still refuse to recognize any sum of money
smaller than one ''bit."
