Says Boston physician to the Con-
gregationalist-As pneumonia is eesen-

error Is the supposition that Q double

almost poultice-like action is thus
brought about. softening the skin and

somnambuiism Extraordinary.

A remarkable case of somnambulism is
reported from Tramore in the country
of Waterford. A young man evidently
a tourist, engaged room at the Railway
Hotel there and retired to rest. About
8 o'clock in the morning some night
stragglers saw a n amin his shirt holding
a lighted candle raise window on the
second floor of the hotel and deliberately
lowering himself from it, falling depth
of fourteen or fifteen feet. The fall ap-
parently did not hurt him, and, with the
candle still lighted in his hand, he walk
into the town and knocked at door.
Here he returned to consciousness, and
was provided With shoes, hat and an old
coat. So dressed he walked to the police
barrack and knocked for admission. The
Sergeant who had charge of the station
finding the plight the man was in pro-
vided him with clothing and refresh
ments. Sergt. Tyrrell then made in
quiries at the hotel, where he found the
young mans luggage, gold watch and
chain, and over els in cash.

Secretary Whitney's Experiment.

Secretary of the Navy Whitney is an
old New Yorker, and so familiar with
the city's characteristics.
He stood in the corridor of the Fifth
Avenue hotvl in light conve rsation with
Secretary of the Interior Lamar, and the
topic of conversation was q confidence
robbery that had been perpetrated upon
guest of the house that day.
Whitney maintained that, while some
men were astonishingly gullible, the ma
iority were unreasonably cautious.
ITO illustrate my point" he said, "let
my young friend Joe Barnard, here.
offer to give q $40 bill for 81, and not q
man in this corridor will accept the
Offer"
The experiment was at ouce made.
Joe was good-looking, we'll dressed
fellow, with nothing in his aspect to
suggest roguery.
Whitney handed q crisp new $40 note
to him, and he set out on his round.
Il beg your pardon, sir," he remarked
politely to Gen. Dan Sickles, who was
stamping round on q leg and crutch,
"but will you please give me 81 for this
$l0?" and he held out the note so close
to Sickles' eyes that its genuineness
ought to have been visible.
A half sarcastic, half angry grin came
over the generals face, but he deigned
no reply, and CONTEMPORARY turned
away.
The prefer was soberly mace to nine
men, none being witness to the others
refusal, anu everytime with the same
result. Nobody would buy $40 with 81
All decided on the spur of the moment
that they were the objects of q swim
dler's attention.
The endangered note came safely back
to Whitney, and. the group laughed over
Its adventure-save Sickles, who was
called in to be leased for letting go good
q bargain slip.

She thanked me with a gracious smile,
As sweet as rosy lips could makeIt:

Again offered, as before,
OF that slight burden TO relieve her:
She'd rather not: "PraJ say no more"

The thing was small aud neatly corded,
And % along our way we went
To where she boarded.
But when upon the stoop she stood,
And ere our last adieus were uttered,
She eyed me in a roguish mood
And softly muttered,
As swung the door to let her through,
And LETT me there unresisting;

For not insisting"

The playing of round ball, - the
game was formerly called, but since
changed to bsse bali, was. in 1874, much
in vogue, and was an exhilarating and
agreeable amusement, particularly health
invigorating to men of sedentary habits.
Sometimes during that season dis
cussion arose between Samuel Cony, at
terward governor of the state, and Sam
uel L. Hunt, distinguished lumberman
upon the Penobscot, in regard otheir
respective merits in the game,
which resulted in an agreement to
play q match game, each to select
their crew from the neighborho0d,
and play q game of fifty scores upon the
Wadleigh field, on the side of the
Pushaw road. all questions arising in
the game to be settled by II. NJ. Wood
man, referee, who, although one Of the
most accomplished players, was not able
to take part in the game from indispo-
eition.
The forfeiture was to be a supper at
the Wadleigh house, to be gotten up in
Mrs. II. n. Vests best style, to be paid
for by the losing party.
On q certain fair, beautiful October
day the parties assembled ON Wadleigh
field. Lorenzo Leadbetter was catcher
on one side and John Gordon upon the
other, and upon tossing up for for first
inning Hunt won.
The game went on with varied sue
cess during the whole afternoon, until it
had become 80 dark as to necessitate the
stopping of the play, the score at that
time standing:
Hunt, As.
Couey, 40, with the advantage of BE-
ing in.
Supper was ready and could not be
postponed to another day,an it was not
proper to partake of it until the game
was concluded.
In this dilemma the expedient was
adopted of finishing the game by pitch
ing coppers, and it was agreed by all
hands that Cony and Hunt, in company
with the referee, should retire to pri-
vate room and proceed to pitch.
Cony having the inning was to COM
mence, and every head that was turned
up was to count score in the game, but
SO soon as tail turned up the party
pitching was to 60 out.
The game went on with alternating
hopes and fears, until Hunt went out,
having turned four heads, making his
score forty-nine, and Cony, being in, sue
ceeded in turning his tenth head, bring
ing his score up to fifty, thus winning
the game and the supper.
The meal was partaken of with that
relish which only men can appreciate
who have waited long, and have pass ed
the time in active exercise.
After the viands had been fully dis
pensed and the appetites of all COM
pletely satisfied the referee made his
report, declaring that the Cony party
had won the game, but with margin
30 small as to be no discredit to the los
ing party, who were to be equally com.
pllmented for their brilliant playing.
Hunt, in response, accepting the stu
uation, consoled himself and friends by
saying that his party beat in the field,
but when he came to pitching coppers
be came in contact with blackleg who
was better posted and more skillful than
himself, and 1t was to that unfortunate
thathe had the misfortune
20 lose the game.

A wITHERINa CUT.

The SOiled Lily Socially Ostracised.
The latest scandal with which Mrs.
Langtry is connected is now the chief
topic Of gossip in London society. A few
days age" " the Lily" was subjected to the
greatest slight that could be inflicted
upon q In her position. Q delib-
crate "cut" from the Princess Of Wales.
This episode occurred at the Coombe
House, where Lady Archibald Campbell
and her pastoral players were giving their
last performance of "The Faithfulle
Shepherdesse." The Prince OF Wales en-
tered in to conversation with Mrs. Lang
try; the Princess of Wales had turned her
back and was talking to some one else.
The Prince plucked the Princess by the
sleeve after saying to Mrs. Langtry In
quite a loud voice, "Ohl the Princess
would like to tell you" The Princess
turned around, surveyed Mrs. Langtry
quite as though she did not see her, gave
so slight a bow that the inclination of the
head was almost imperceptible and then
deliberately turned her back and re-
sumed her conversation with her friends.
The Prince looked exquisitely foolish. Mrs.
| Langtry's confusion was painful to behold,
and the social axe had fallen.
