S0mnambuiism in Dogs.

There is something peculiar about
somnambulism when considered from
scientific and philosophical standpoint.
The sleep walker, it will be found, still
retains a 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 certain part OF
the room Oh retiring, he knows when he
rises just where to find them, even in
the dark. This is a question which
opens up wonderful field for physio-
logical and mental research.
When young and giddy we became
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 sonnambulists there in the
same patch, and as much surprised as We
WCiC. OUIAl UllcIO ID U1C oSsulC u uUll SbstI-
ing us in the face. Every somnambu-
list there had through his sleep re-
tanned in his semi-conscioqs state per-
feet recollection of where every article
of his clothing was and how to get out
of the upstairs window without waking
the old people.
By-and-by the owner Of the melon
patch procured, at great expense, a
large, humorous bulldog, who was also
somnambulist. He walked in his
sleep 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 a watermelon.
While STOPPING over in the act, we felt
a pang Of conscience and heard our sus-
penders break.
Perhaps the casual reader has never
sat down On a buzz saw and felt himself
gradually fading away. If so he does
not know what it is to form the acquaint-
ance of a somnambulist bulldog in the
prime Of life.
After that somnambulisZn didn't have
| such run in our family for while
We never slept so sound that we didn't
remember places and objects that had
made an impression on us prior to slunl-
ber, and that is why we say that there
is something in this matter that scien-
fists would do well to look intc.--'

Where Mammon Reigns.

The land on which the Drexel build
ing stands IN New York cost its present
owners at the rate Of $14, 900, 900 pei
acre. It occupies the corner OF Wall
and Broad streets. Almost all the rail
within 800 feet Of this spot, and the gen.
eral pressure of our immense financial
system gives it value which few years
ago could not have been dreamed OF.
Standing on the Drexel corner you may
see men entering their offices with rapid
step, and if you could follow them you
would find that their transactions,
though of enormous sums, we're accom-
plished with the smallest amount Of
words imaginable. No time to waste
when so much is to be done in few
hours. The day here is from 10 to 8
o'clock, and one house closes an hour
earlier.
Such men are always ready to act,
hence there is less need to talk. If any
one attempts conversation, he will find
himself politely but positively neglected.
Men may talk at their leisure, but not in
the heaving and excited crowd in Wall
street. Across from Drexeps is the
United States treasury, where about
$50, 600, 900 of Government funds are
held, and the rear of the treasury ION
Pine street, faces the great Turner
building. All around, as you cannot
but feel, is wealth not in lands or any
! representative shape, but in money.
Here money reigns; money is the theme.
Moneyed men only are important, and, il
you want to see them, just come to this
center Of capita. -IrOs Times.

Moral Character of LOngfellow's Poetry.

The foundations of our distinctive lit
erature were largely laid in New England,
and they rest upon morality. Literary
New England had never trace of liter
AIRY Bohemia. The mostillustrious group,
and the earliest, Of American authors
and scholars and literary men, the Bos-
ton and Cambridge group of the last
generation Charming, the two Danas,
Sparks, Everett, Bancroft, Ticknor,
Prescott, Norton, Ripley, Palfrey, EN-
erson, Parker, Hawthorne, Longfellow,
Holmes, Whittier, Agassiz, Lowell, Mot
ley-have been all sober and industrious
citizens of whom Judge Sewall would
have approved. Their lives as well as
their works have ennobied literature.
They have illustrated the moral sanity
of genius.
Longfellow shares this trait with them
all. 1t is the moral purity of his verse
which at once charms the heart, and in
his first most famous poem. the "Psalm
OF Life, it is the direct incubation of q
moral purpose. Those who insist that
literary art, like all other art, should not
concern itself positively with morality,
must reflect that the heart of this age
has been touched as truly by Longfellow,
however differently, as that of any time
by Its master-poet. This, indeed, is his
peculiar distinction. Among the great
poetic names of the century in English
literature, Burns, in a general way, is
the poet of love; Wordsworth, Of lofty
contemplation of nature; Byron, of p,s-
sion; Shelley, of aspiration; Keats, of
romance; Scott, of heroic legend; and
not less, and quite as distinctively,
Longfellow, of the domestic affections.
He is the poet of the household, of the
tireside, of the universal home feeling.
The infinite tenderness and patience, the
pathos, and the beauty, of daily life, of
familiar emotion, and the common scene,
these are the significance of that verse
whose beautiful and simple melody,
softly murmuring for more than forty
years, made the singer the most widely
beloved of living men.-George William
Curtis, in Hasper's Magazine.

What He Would Do.

It was in the smoking car on the New
York Central. There was one chap who
was clustering a great deal and telling
of how many duels he had fought, and
behind him sat small man reading
magazine.
"Sir!" saidthe big man as he wheeled
around, "what would you do If chal-
lenged?"
Refuse" was the quiet reply.
"Ah! I thought as much. Refuse
and be branded coward What if a
gentleman offered you the choice Of a
horsewhipping- then what?"
"I'd take the whipping"
"Ah-I thought so-thought SO from
the looks of you. Suppose, sir, you had
foully slandered me?"
81 never SANDER.
"Then, sir, suppose had coolly and
deliberately insulted you; what would
you do 90
"Pd rise up this way, put down my
book this way, and reach over like this
and take him by the nose as take you,
and give it three-quarter- twist-just
so!
When the little man let 60 of the big
mans nose. the man with the white hat
on began to crouch down to get away
from bullets, but there was no shooting.
The big man turned red-then pale
then looked the little man over and re-
marked:
Certainly-of course-that's it ex-
actlyl"
And then conversation turned on the
general prosperity of the countrywide

LIiC IN ItxaS.

It was weary, worn traveller riding
along through the swamp country on
horseback one afternoon; and as he
came along to a settlers cabin on the
mountain road he asked of man lean
ing over the gate:
"Can you tell me how far it is to the
town ahead?"
II reckon kin, stranger. You will
have to peg along fur about nine miles
yet"
"But it is nearly dark. Is there no
tavern on the road?"
Never heard of any, and I've packed
my corn meal over this road risin' of
twenty years."
"But perhaps I could put up some
where?"
"P'raps ye could. There's Steve Tay-
lor's down about four miles, but he'd
beat We blind on old sledge. There's
Nose Smith, a mile higher, but Nose
would feel offended if We didn't trade

A Reckless Government.

When Lee invaded Pennsylvania hay
was ST. per ton around Chambersburg.
One day a Confederate forage-master
drove out into the country with his
wagons, and, halting at farmhouse, he
asked if they had any hay to sell.
81 might spare two or three tons, I"
replied the farmer.
"What is it worth?'
"Wal, being you are enemies to the
Government, shall have to charge you
$40 ton"
CAL right, I'll take all you can spare, :"
said the officer, and he loaded up, and
then made out his receipt and an order
on the rebel Quartermaster General for
the money.
1t was only after the farmer had dis
covered that he could get nothing that
he explained:
81 don't keer so much for the loss of
the hay, but it aggravates me to remem-
Der how mighty reckless them rebs was
when I tucked on So ton. They didn't
even ask me to split the difference" -

What Becomes Of the Old Men?

Everybody knows the tendency that
certain articles have to disappear. 1t
has been repeatedly asserted in countries
where they use donkeys that no one
ever sees q defunct ass. Again, that IA
nous query, put by lady during an
awful pause" at her own table, "What
becomes of all the pins?" struck home
to every feminine mind, Offering bound
less fields of conjecture. Mysterious,
however, as the ultimate fate Of pins
undoubtedly is, it may be urged that
their very smallness favors their disap-
pearance, but this cannot be pleaded
about old men, and the question we
raise to-day is, What becomes in this
city Of the old or elderly men? Old
women we see in numbers, but not old
men. OF course, we know that in bank
parlors, trust companies Offices, and
among the learned professions certain
number of elderly gentlemen may be
found, but we are speaking now of the
many. Take, for example, walters
How many gray-headed walters does
any restaurant frequenter recall IN this
city? In the street-cars there are about
half dozen conductors known to every
one because they are white-bearded, and
hence so rare, while the drivers are al
ways men under so, apparently seldom,
indeed, as much as 40. Walk about the
streets, notice the men employed by the
great express companies; you will find
them young The laborers, the long
shoremen, the men employed at the fer
ries are also mostly young. Go
into stores; nine out of ten Of the
statesmen are young. The hotel
clerks are young, and SO for the most
part are the barlzeepers. Doctors say
that these latter seldom get beyond SO.
Constant nipping undermines their
health; and hotel men, too, as a class,
do not live long, though there are nota-
bic exceptions. This absence of elderly
men is to a stranger a notable feature
Of New York, and it would be interest
ing TO know its cause. Is it that the
conditions Of life here are exceptionally
exhausting, and that, except in the
comparatively-rare cases where circum,
stances OF constitution are especially
favorable, only & low average of age is
attained? or is it that hundreds Of men
emigrate hence after few years to set
tie in other parts OF the country, re-
turning, perhaps, ct 10 TO places whence
they came at 90? 1t is notorious that
Parisians are for the most part not borr
in Paris, and probably but limited
number of people in this city to-day
were born in it. The infant mortality
is, we know, enormous, but how abou
the mortality between 40 and so? I
would be interesting to learn if that b.
abnormally large as compared will
other places; and, if so, what is the pre-
vailing cause of death. Very instructive
tables were published in England som'
years ago showing the average of Lift
among different vocations. It is be
lieved by many that brokers and other
in business life live here, as there,
much shorter time than professiona
men. Thoroughly-trustworthy data o.
this point would would be received witt
great interest. -Ne,D York Times.

The APPEAL yesterday stated that
our Fish Commissioner Parker had
placed $4,000 native fish into a Califor-
MIA stream. II was merely condensed
from an item in the Truckee RcpuJIjcaH,
in which it was stated that the fish
were originally sintended for Lake
Tahoe, but as the road to that body Of
water is at present impossible, he put
them in Bonner Creek. The APPEALS
notice was not meant to reflect upon
Mr.. Parker, and we cannot see how it
could be construed in that light.
