Snmnamhnlism in nors.

There is something peculiar about
somnambulism when considered from a
scientific and philosophical standpoint.
The sleep-walker, it will be found, still
retains dim idea, even while he is
asleep, of the condition of affairs when
he went to sleep. For instance, if he
leaves his clothes in a certain part of
the room on retiring, he knows when he
rises just where to find them, even in
the dark. This is a question which
opens up a wonderful field for physio-
logical and mental research. s.*
While young and giddy we became a
somnambulist and excited great deal
OF curiosity by our strange freaks dur
ing sleep, and this one question of the
slumbering mind and its memory of
facts existing prior to sleep was the
most remarkable thing about it all to
us. We puzzled over that good deal.
At night we would retire to rest and the
next thing we would know we would
wake up in the middle of a contiguous
melon patch, and there would be two
or three other somnambulists there in
the same patch, and as much surprised
as we were. Still there is the same
truth staring us in the face. Every
somnambulist there had through his
sleep retained in his semi-conscious
state perfect recollection of where ev-
cry article of his clothing was and how
to get out of the upstairs window with
out waking the old people.
Bye and bye the owner of the melon
patch procured, at great expense, q
large humorous bulldog, who was also
q somnambulist. He walked in his sleep
a good deal. That is why we quit. We
didn't propose to descend to the level of
the brute creation. We just said, if
bulldog wants to somnam, he can do SO
and we will leave the field to him.
We made this resolution one night
just after we had plugged watermel-
on While STOPPING over in the act, we
felt a pang of conscience and heard oul
suspenders break.
Perhaps the casual reader has never
sat down on buzz saw and felt himself
gradually fading away. If so he does not
know what it is to form the acquaint-
ance of somnambulist bulldog in the
prime of life.
After that, somnambulism didn't have
such run in our family for awhile.
We never slept SO sound that we didn't
remember places and objects that had
made an impression on US prior to slum.
Der, and that is why we say that, there
is something in this matter that scien-
fists would do well to look into
Boomerang.

GENERAL BUTLER'S VOW.
The Reason Assigned for His Refusal to
Defend Guiteau.

Gen. Benjamin F. Butler has declined to
act for Guiteau, Notwithstanding the urgent
appeal of his relatives. 1t is not generally
known that Gen. Butler some years ago made
a VOW never to enter criminal court again as
counsel for prisoner under criminal indict-
ment. The reason he assigns for such action
carries with it quite history.
1t appears that during his second term in
Congress one of his henchmen-and faith
full friend-who was sheriff of one OF the
counties in his Congressional District, re-
ceived Geographic dispatch from the sheriff
of an adjoining county, asking him to arrest a
prisoner who had escaped from his custody
and was on board Of an incoming train. On
the arrival of the train in question the culprit
was arrested, and the sheriff locked him up
pro tenn. in the railroad depot, from which he
subsequently, escaped. Pursued by the
sheriff, the prisoner halted at the bank of a
creek, produced pistol, and threatened his
pursuer with death should he advance one
step further. The courageous sheriff, though
unarmed, did not hesitate in the discharge OF
his duty, and met his death in consequence.
The man was hunted down, and in short
time lodged in Jail Then came the funeral Of
his victim. at which Gen. Butler, next to
the widow and fatherless, acted as chiet
mourner. "Some six months after this" says
Gen. Butler, 81 was IN the criminal court,
when the prisoner before mentioned was ar
raigned for trial. In answer to the presiding
Judge, he represented himself as being withou,
counsel, and requested that l should be as.
signed to defend him, which request was
granted. pleaded all sorts of excuses, bu
in the state of Massachusetts a similar reques
from a prisoner on trial for his life never
passes UNDECIDED, and l was compelled to ac
as defender of the very man who had so cruel
ly deprived one of my best friends of his life
Once assigned" said he, 81 forgot everything
but my official oath as an attorney, and sue
ceeded so we'll for my client that in the enc
he was convicted of minor degree Of man.

slaughter, entailing only few years incar-
ceration in Jail. Then came the hue and cry
of my political enemies. This is the man,
they said, who escorts the widow to the
grave at the funeral of his faithful henchman,
weeps crockodile tears, and then defends the
assassin and assists him in defeating the ends
ofjustice.'
Eat the next election" said Gen Butler,
81 did not even get one vote in that district,
though heretofore they had been unanimously
cast in my interest. Can you then wonder at
my registering VOW never to enter criminal
court again ~

SOME MINING NOTES
On the Silver state Claims and
Others

Mr.. W. H. Huising of Cincinnati, who
came here a few days ago for the purpose
of visiting the Silver State Con. Mining
Company's property, has been examining
these mines, and is highly satisfied with
all he has seen. The Silver State COM
prises four locations, the Silver State, Or
iginal Baltic, Hilma and Confidence, COW
ering nearly 90 acres of some Of the most
promising mining ground in Eureka
District, situated nearly south Of the Eu-
reka Con. mine, and distant from it about
$500 or 5000 feet, and is On what is I'M
derstood to be the back limestone forma-
ton of the Ruby Hill lode.
Under Mr.. Musings personal super
vision six samples Of ore were taken from
the groupings, which are large and album
dant. These were assayed at the Richmond
ASSAY Office, and gave the following result:
Iron pyrites, S13 SO; red oxides OF iron'
S33 81; ore, S161 %; ore, s2OS 30; ore
S279 SIS; ore, 1891 90. Mr.. Huising also
took a few pieces of ore, which, on reach
ing town, he sent to the assayer OF the Eu-
reka Con-, which gave as the result s3fl.-
IS, principally in silver. The rock con-
tains a great deal OF quartz ana leau'
base bullion button made from the
rock brought down resulted in loS
grams Of metal from $40 grams OF ore.
A great deal of work has been lone by the
former owners Of the property in a very
desultory manner, but no systematic ef-
fort was made to develop ii until it passed
into the hands of the present company. A
tunnel is being run into the mountain
now in 210 feet) on a large seam OF red
oxides of iron, for the purpose of reaching
a point under the richest groupings, and
from. this point a regular course Of drift
ing and prosecuting will be i~naugursted
to develop the mine.
Mr.. Huising visited the Eureka Con .
mine this morning, and was much pleased:
He will visit all the prominent mines OF
This district. as we'll as some Of the smaller
ones, SO as to thoroughly assure himself OF
