his horse all they could in the scoring,

A SIMPLE cure Of sleeplessness has been
advised by Partisan physician for an
American travelling through Europe who
suffered from wakeful nights. The rem
edy was complete cessation of mental
exertion in the evening, and the forma-
tion Of habit of retiring at the same
time each evening. No letter writing,
no reading OF excitable books was al
lowed, and the mind was placed in as
passive a state as possible. The Amer
lean, who had been victim of sleepless-
ness for years, returned home cured.

 Telegraph Wires Down.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The present storm is greater in extent than any experienced on this continent for long time. All east of the Mississippi except few spots is deluged with rain. In Ohio nearly two inches of rain has fallen. A cyclone started out at sea to the southern line of States and moved northwest, being central over Ohio and h. dian at 10 o'clock to-day At Atlantic City the wind was thirty-fve miles an hour. In this city it was twenty-two and one-half miles. Slight damage was done by the gusts At Rockaway Beach the tide was higher than for years. The hotel piazzas were sub merged and all the wooden walks and bath bath houses were washed out to sea- Along the east shore of Staten Island the docks are submerged and much damage has been done. A large ship was blown from lying at Robbins reef lighthouse
 It was blowing fifty-fve miles an hour at Sandy Hook this morning at o'clock The ferryboats had rough time of it, especially those plying between this city and Staten Island. "The storm has been bad one for telegraphic lines," said Mir. Humstone, su- perintendent of the Western Union com pany. @tIt has delayed business generally all over the country. We are repairing the damage as fast possible. Nine-tenths of the telegraph wires which reached along the Jersey coast were carried away by the storm at an early hour this morn ing. The government property at San dy Hook was wrecked in several placee. The beach was swept away and jetties badly damaged. From midnight up to 1 o'clock this afternoon not single steamer or sailing vessel had been sighted at the signal sta tion. This is considered remarkable by shipping men, it not having occurred before for twenty-five years.
 The meagre reports from Long Branch show 8 similar condition of affairs. On the shores of Coney Island and Rockaway every house sustained injuries. Brighton Beach race track was placed in 8 horrible condition by the rain. Along the city river front and particularly on the east side deluge was the result of the heavy rain. All the cellars of water. The tide in the recollection of num- Der of residents was never higher. At 11,30 the water had entirely submerged some of the wharves.
 NYAcK, N. Y., Oct. 13.-The severest storm in many years prevailed along the Hudson in this vicinity to-day. Docks were flooded and a number of small boats were sunk. The ferries were obliged to stop run ming on account of danger i'll landing.
