WANT OF SLEEP.-Are you inflicted with
insomnia? Perhaps you depend too much on
sleep for rest and recuperatiOn. For sleep IS
not the sole rest for used up nerves. SoclaDll.
ity, cOngeniality, and the enjoyment OF good
company rest the body quite as much us sleep.
The tlreary monotOny Of life in household,
involving this tumbling into bed, with the me-
chanical regularity Of a machine, at nine or
ten O'Clock in the evening, does not always
rest weary bodies. ''Early to bed and early to
rise" does not always make man healthy,
wealthy and WISE Numbers of organizations
are only capable of five or six hours of sleep
at a time, and their laying down rest is often
succeeded by an early waking up, and conse-
quent tossing for hours before daybreak. The
practitioners of punctuality are often surprised
that, after breaking their own cast-iron rules,
and passing two or three later hours of mirth
and jollity past their usual bedtime, to lind
themselves even more refreshed in the morn
ing than usual The relaxation of soclablllty
has rested them more than would sleep or an
attempt to sleep. But these are conditions
not so easily reached in the average family.
In fashionable life we have formal, ex-
hausting and mechanical evening of more or
less dissipation. On the other hand, the even
ings of great numbers of families are general
ly of mOnotonous humdrum. They involve

of respect for the alliance with France it was
agreed that the treaty should not be final

A STARTLING AFFIDAVIT.

The affidavit of Thurlow Weed, who died
three weeks ago, in regard to the murder OF
William Morgan, in 1S31-an event whichpro-
duced great excitement throughout the coun-
try, and originated the anti-Masonic party, of
which Weed was leading spirt-will be read
with interest from one end of the land to the
other. The press will, for the next few days,
TEEN with essays on the subject, and reminls-
censes of the excitement during the anti-Ma-
sonic crusade, and of the trial of the supposed
murderers of Morgan. 1t was lively episode
in our history Remembered by ymanypersons-
and the mystery enshrouding the sudden and
final disappearance of Morgan, who was never
heard of afterward, added to the public agita-
ton. The mystery is purported to be solved
at last, and murder is revealed as the result
of Morgan's detection to the Masonic fraternl-
ty. The sworn affidavit of Mr.. Weed is pub
lishad in the New York San Of November 2Sth,
the affidavit having been made on the 2Sth OF
last September. In this affidavit Mr.. Weed
places upon record detailed history of the
abduction and killing of Morgan as obtained
by Mr.. Weed through the confession of one Of
Unc DurllClpuIllS VI tltll III 4Ccl, tAOh
the statement of a witness who had failed to
testify to what he knew when the case was
under investigation by the courts soon after
Morgan's disappearance. Briefly, the story is
as follows
For the purpose of suppressing Morgan's
intended exposure of the secrets of Masonry,
he was seized by a number of Masons and
placed under guard in the Magazine of Fort
Niagara, n. Y, toawait an opportunity ship
him from the country. While thus concealed,
number of Masons, after dinner at one of
their gatherings, where Morgan's case was
discussed, acting under sudden impulse, at
the suggestion of one of their number, pro-
ceeded to Fort Niagara, took Morgan from his
prison and under pretence of taking him to
Canada, took him on boat from which he was
cast overheard in the Niagara river, heavily
loaded with weights. Whitney, the man who
confessed to Weed his instrumentality in Nor
gan's death, intended to put the story into IN
affidavit, but death overlook him in 1861 be-
fore he carried his purpose into effect. The
names of the participants in the affair are en-
bodied in Weeds affidavit.

Two SENATE SEATS.-The attention Of
politicians of both parties is now being direct
ed to the Senatorial elections in Nebraska and
Colorado, where it is possible some uneXpect-
ed developments may occur In Nebraska
forty members were chosen to the Legislature
as anti-Monopolists. Many of the men so
elected are Republicans, and therefore it has
been presumed they will act with the regular
members of their party in the choice or
United States Senator. But the anti-Monopo-
lists were elected in opposition to Republican
candidates and are under no obligations to
them. The ant-MonOpolists and Democrats
combined will constitute II majority of the
Legislature In order to defeat the regular
Republicans the Democrats may form Goa
lition with the anti-MonOpoists for the cleo
tiOn of Senator on an independent platform.
In Colorado the Republicans will not have
majority of over three votes, and many DEM
ocrats aver that the final official count will
make the Legislature a tie. The bitter
faction fight in the Republican organization
may result in a failure to elect a Senator, in
which event the Democratic Governor would
make the appointment. The Democrats are
sure of thirty siX-Senators in the next Senate.
Should they gain the two new Senator'S to be
chosen in Colorado and Nebraska, 1T Will
make their number just equal the Republi-
can and Readjusters, with no David Davis to
tin the scale in favor of one side or the other.

who have come in from Camas Prairie, relate
an experience which will probably 60 a great
way toward re-establishng the faith in the
wild mans tradition. On the first day of this
month, two cowboys searching for cattle lost
in the storm, passed over some lava crags and
were startled by suddenly seeing before them
the form 80 often described to them. They
were so terrified that they sat upon their lor-
ses, looking at it in dread. Mastering cour-
age and drawing their revolverS, they dis
mounted and gave chase, but the strange being
skipped from crag to crag, as nimbly as a
mountain goat. After an hours pursuit both
young men were so completely worn out that
they laid down, seeing which, the wild man
gradually approached them and stopped on the
opposite side of a gorge in the lava, from
which point he regarded the cowboys intently.
The wild man was considerably over six feet
in height, with great muscular arms, which
reached to his knees. The muscles stood out
in great knots and his chest was as broad as
that of bear. Skins were twisted about his
feet and ankles and wolf skin about his waist.
All parts of his body to be seen were covered
by long long black hair, while from his head
the hair flowed over his shoulders in coarse,
tangled rolls and mixed with heavy beard.
His face was dark and swarthy and his eyes
shone brightly, while two tusks protruded
from his mouth. His fingers were the shape
of claws, with long sharp nails and he acted
very much as a wild animal which is unac-
custOmed to seeing a man. The boys made
all kinds of noises at the sound of which he
twisted his head from side to side and moan-
ed-apparently he could not give them any
''back talk" so wearying Of eyeing him, the
boys fired their revolvers, whereupon the wild
man turned double somersaut and jumped
fifteen feet to a low bench and disappeared,
growing terribly as he went.
1t is supposed that this is the same appar-
tion that has so often been seen before. The
man, no doubt, does as the Indians did for
subsistence, and lives on Camas roots, which
grow wild by the acres, and he, no doubt, kills
young stock, as many yearlings and calves dis
appear mysteriously and nothing but the skel-
etOns of them are ever found.

And, by the way, do you notice how
surely though gradually we are drifting
here into two classes-the rich and the
poor? Ten years hence there will be
no middling class. In New York you
could, a few years ago count the
m~illionaires on your fingers. You
can't do it now l can name
100 men and women here worth
81, 000, 900 each. When l was a
boy a man with 100000 clear
was rich. What IS he now? That
meant but $4,000 a year, and who can
live in any sort of shape on that? There
may be a few clergymen here and
there who can make both ends meet on
that insignificant figure, but bless my
soul and buttons. However, what l
wish to get at and emphasize is this :
Our great cities are loud with riches.
On the great of New York
there are men TO whom 500, 900 is but
a bagatelle. I can take you to streets
where there are blocks upon blocks of
houses in which no man can live oil less
than SIS 900 to $4,000 a year. Hun
dreds of men spend $40, 900 a year who
are not worth 10 cents besides. In
other words, they spend all they make.
What of it? Much. The rich grow
richer here and the poor poorer. Gull
ture, education and refinement do not
necessarily accompany riches. L met
half an hour ago in the Astor House a
sturdy fellow-a German Jew-who
twenty years ago kept a humble cloth
ing store in Sacramento with his
brother. To-day they are as well known
on Wall street as the ."Tlmesn is in
Philadelphia. They managed to be in
the Pacific Railway ring, made millions,
and now serve as bankers and brokers
in Gotham. They are rich and vulgar,
common as the pigs. They are insolent
and upstarty with people who don't
know them. They ride r~oughshod over
the poor. They have Il box IN the
Academy of Music, and attend first
family receptions. 1 met them both
not their wives or families-in the mag
nifcent palace of a millionaire heir a
few weeks ago. Swell? Bless you; 1
feared they would burst. Our railroad
kings are phenomenal in wealth. There
are so many of them that to be n is
not to be singular. But in the extent
and amplitude of their possessions they
are unique and amazing. There are
sections of New York where an annual
income of $3.50 would make its owner a
curiosity. and there are others where
an annual expenditure of $4,000 to
800, 900 is nothing out of the usual rut.
This being conceded, am L right or am
l wrong? Are we drifting into two
great currents-rich and poor-or not :

At the Adelphi Theatre last night,
while the play was IN progress, and Just
after the villain OF the piece had
strangled the heroine and was looking
around to see if any one had been
watching him, n portion of the plaster
ing of the ceiling fell upon a number Of
those comprising the audience. This
created a panic, and a majority of the
people sprang from their seats and
rushed for the main door. Those on
and back of the stage rushed forward
to see what had happened; even the
woman who had been strangled-in the
play-jumped up and rushed to the
footlights to ascertain the cause Of the
commotion. In a few moments order
was restored, the audience resumed
their seats, and the %strangled woman
walked back to the spot from which she
had hurriedly arisen, sat down on the
floor and rolled over, and pretended
once more to be dead, and the play went

In railroad building and railroad
business, last year was unprecedented in

of road were put in operation, which is
nearly 1000 more than were built dur
ing the preceding year. The gross
earnings of Southern railroads last year
reached 1858, 900, 1000. In 1880 they
amounted to $4s, GOO, 600, and in 1879
to S43, 900, 900. The net earnings in
creased from S14, 000, COO in 1879 to
