Freaks of sleepless Men.

A we'll known physician of New York
City, who has had vast experience
treating patients suffering from in
somnia, tells a Sun reporter some of
the various eccentricities and whimsical
fancies of men and women who suffer
from wakefulness which would be
amusing if they were not so dangerous
to the victim and so discouraging to the
doctor. He says:
"There are many persons who can
not sleep on the left side, others who
must have their head point to some pet
quarter of the compass, patients who
demand noise, like the ticking of a
clock, and others who require perfect
silence to enable them to fall asleep.
What, for instance, do you think of a
woman who can not, or will not, sleep
in q room carpeted with anything ex-
cept straw mating, and who can not
sleep IN the same room more than ten
consecutive nights? / am assured
and believe that she has faith
fully tried, again and again, to exceed
this ten-night limit; that the eleventh
night is invariably sleepless, the twelfth
excited, h~ysterical perhaps, the next
worse, and so on, until, on two occa-
sions when I have been called / a
assure you that her condition was too
critical to admit of a suspicion of NAL
lingering"
Are women more subject to it than
men!"
"Not in my experience; nor is it con
fined to the physically or mentally weak
among men. A well-known athlete has
assured me that, after training for some
important event, he used often to be
thrown out of condition by sleepless-
ness for several nights preceding the
trial of strength, until he discovered that
he could always sleep if the closet door
in mis- chamber were set wide open.
Even now, in travelling, if he occupies
a room without a closet he is certain to
lose his nights Sleep"
"a grave and self-contained judge"
continued the physician. EVERY night
ties a black thread tightly around the
big toe of his left foot-the right won't
do at all-and, with judicial gravity,
claims this as q certain cure for what
he used TO call his night fits while a
classmate of mine at college, nov an
eminent and able clergyman, once con-
fded to me with much self-reproach
and perturbation of mind that whenev-
er had an attack of sleeplessness he
became at once possessed of an irresist-
able temptation to say damn and that
cabalistic word once uttered, his unrest
vanished and sleep came at once.
Think said he to me solemnly, but
with a twinkle in his eye, of a minister
of the gospel becoming irresponsibly
p~rofane for want Of something to put
him to sleep, when he has a desk full
of old sermons in the house"
"Irresponsibly profaneY we repeat
ed.
quite SO. Maudsley declared insom-
mia to be d frequent aus OF insanity,
and I am inclined to regard it as one
of the most OBSCURE of mental diseases"
"And the cure?"
"WelI, there is e grim humor about
giving a restless man the active prin-
ciple of hops to put them to sleep hat
as for permanent u the most salts
factory cures are those queer fancies OF
the patients themselves. They may be
absurd and irrational, but they are
lasting, and taste better than most
medicines"

The Man Who betrayed q Presi.
dent.

From the Nashville Tenn American.
Buck Lewis, j%anitor of the Meigs
School. East Nashville is dead. Lewis
was at one time the body servant Of
Andrew johnson, when that distin-
gnished TennesseeanI was president Of
the United States, and created o sensa-
lion in Washington by revealing the
great commoner's private affairs to the
presidents enemies. This was done
while the impeachment trial was going
on, became the ruling sensation of the
hour, and was a common theme for
speculation during many months fol-
lowing. President johnson discharged
Lewis at that time, and he came back
to this city, where he has remained
since.
Lewis has since frequently suffered
great want, and told a friend that Pres
ident Johnson's words, when he dis
charged him, had often come to his
mind during his misfortunes. The
words referred TO by Lewis are these:
aTake this $500 bin and go where you
will, / trusted You, and you betrayed
my confidence for less than I have often
given you without asking. al I can say
20 you is that you will never. suffer as
much as you have caused me to suffer BY
your base treachery.
The person to whom Lewis told these
words only a few weeks ago is Andrew

following is his platform

2. l oppose Prohibition as a sump-
tuary law.
3. l oppose Mandatory Railroad
Commission.
4. | oppose Convict Labor being

According to the regular Press dis.

shire, and Ohio. The f.ct that Ohio
went Republican the other day by less
than $4,000 ought not to be a cause of
joy to the Republicans. The total vote
was about 100000. A vcry sliqht
change would put Ohio in the Demo.
cratic column, and in the contest next
November the undoubted political tur-
pltude Of Blaine will have the effect to
drive from him the support of more
than twelve thousand honest Republi.
cans. Most sincerely do we believe
that Cleveland will be our next Pres-
dent by handsome electoral majority,
even if Ohio should go Republican. In
fact, the State has not been counted on
our side, but that it will go Democratic is
our firm belief. The outlook is golden.

A Winchester correspondent of the
Knoxville EAST TENNESSEE Chronicle
gives glowing accounts Of the enthusiasm
in these parts among the Republicans,
and tells that "Blaine, Logan, Reid
and Warder Clubs" are being organ
lied very fast. The one in Winchester
has George Simmons as President, lev.
Mr.. Ogleton as Treasurer, Mr., DaVia
Bone as Secretary, and Mr.. Gillespie
as Vice President, all of whom are col
ored, or black. One of the commnn'ca'
tions to the Chronicle states that fresl
dent Simmons made bringing speech
the night of election. 1t has not beer
many years since we heard George =
the one-armed-make bringing" Dem
ocratic speech. This was on the nigh
when we Democrats met on the Squar'
N to celebrate the election of Tilden ant
Hendricks who we're dcfrauded OF thel
Offices. But George has right to SIM
his political opinions and he cer'a,n'
exercises the right, being half and ma,
in blood, anyway. But we 40 think
sacriligious to use the Methodist Churc
(colored) for political meetings.

Gov. Bate has received most fatter.

AS to the Cincinnati outrage in the

in direct violation of law, and where
many citizens were killed, the American
says:
This outrage was perpetrated by set
of men who have been for years belnbor-
ing wha. they called the "shot gun pol
icy" of the South. The least show of
spirit by n Democrat at an election, no
matter what the provocation, was a
great national crime A personal ren-
counter of any sort was sufficient ground
for an attack on the whole South. 1t

In railroad matters in Tennessee he was

was a little boy when he first heard of
V. X. Stevenson. There was no rail.
road then to Nashville. We received
our mail tri-weekly. Mr.. Stevenson
was splendid speaker, and by his
forcible talk won assistance which cul-
minated in the building of the railroad
from Nashville to Chattanooga. The
Nashville American very aptly calls
him "the father Of our railroad system"
and from an article, written, evidently,
by Col. A. S. Colyar, We quote as fol-
lows:
"The early history Of this very great
man is in one sense much the same as
that OF most of our valuable men. He
came to Nashville from Kentucky when
quite Young man, without money and
without friends. He became a clerk in
store, but soon showed himself to he
so good business man that he was
made q partner. He was soon at the
head Of the house, dving the largest dry
goods business in the city Though a
successful merchant, this was not his
field. His great intellect demanded Il
wider field. Building and managing
railroads suited him."
