Ex-Chief Hawkins testified TINT he told
the policemen that Diefendorf ~ Co.
would mike their suits for $l5 apiece and
whit for the money until the clothes
money was allowed They then went
down and got measured. The men paid
$12.5O each and declined to pay any
more because the clothes We're not made
according to contract. Witness said hi'
coat and vest We're all right, but his
pantaloons were made of some cotton
flannel stuff and not of the piece they
were TO be made from.
On cross examination, ex- Chief Hawkins
said he went down to pay the balance
due on his suit and another officers, ~. 81
each, but Mr.. Diefendorf refused Il
accept it unless he took receipt fo
Mayor Wales on account.
Ex-Chief Hawkins also stated thnt whei
he paid Diefendorf & Co. the $462.5O h
took receipt, which he had with him
Mr.. Macallister asked for it, but Mr.
Bird objected, claiming that counsel TO
the plaintiff could have served notice OF
him to produce it, The court decides
that the plaintiff had the right to have tn
receipt produced. Mr.. Hawkins said tn
receipt was on account of Mayor Wales
but he would not have paid the none

to be made out in that manner.

CONCERNING SLEEPLEsNEss. Sleep
is perfectly natural function. 1t is
not negative act, but positive pro.
cess. Herein lies the difference be-
tween real sleep and the poison in-
duced torpor which mimics the states
of Psychological rest. We ought TO
be able to sleep at will. Napoleon
and many busy men---the late Mr..
Wakley, for example--developed the
power of self.induced sleep to such an
extent as to be able to rest whenever
and wherever they pleased, for longer
or shorter periods, as the conditions
admitted. We have been led to be-
lieve that Mr.. Gladstone at one time
possessed this faculty. If that be so,
his recent insomnia must be assumed
to have been the result of such in
tense brain worry as inhibited the
control of the will; or there may, Of
course, be physical causes which rem.
der the apparatus Of the cerebral
blood supply less manageable by the
nerve centres. In any case, it 10
much to be deplored that, in the
study and treatment Of insomnia, the
profession generally does not more
clearly and constantly keep in mem
DRY that what we call sleeplesssness
is really wakefulness, and that before
it is iustifable to resort to the use of
Supplying drugs the precise cause of
disturbance should be clearly made
out. This, Of course, takes time, and
involves scientific testing Of the rel
alive probabilities of the sense organs,
central or radical and periphsral.
The discovery Of the cause, however,
affords ample rscompense for the trou-
BILE Of searching for it. With the
sphymograph and few test applian-
ces, such as Cations whistle, an OPP
tometer and other instruments, the
recognition Of the form and cause of
sleeplessnsss can be made in brief
space, and then, and then only We
protest, it can be scisntiGcally-i. e..
physiologically - treated. - London

Too Much FOR MIDaET.-Timkins.
Tarbox, and Midget were oonvivial
trio. They were married men, and
yet they spent many of their evenings
at the tavern, thus leaving undons
duties which ought to have been done
and doing great many things that
ought never to have been done.
One night the trio sat at the festive
board Of Pimple's tavern until very
near to midnight at which hour they
were about as drunk as men could be
and not be dead. A dispute arose
touching the payment Of the bill for
the evenings entertainment.
"Hole on, said Timkins. "Let r
be till t'-morrer. When we get home
our wives II be sure to tell us to do
some onaccountable thing and If airy
one of us refuses to do the first thing
his wife tells him to do after he gets
into the house, he shall pay the whole
bill for the party
This was agreed to, and il was
further stipulated that each should
give true account OF the result at
their next meeting. On the following
evening the friends met again. Tim
kins led off.
"Well, boys" said he, II had
tough one, but did it. II was dark
as pitch in the house when got home,
and as | was numbering through the
kitchen, I stumbled against the stove.
and knocked the tea-kettle off onto
the floor. That started my wife, and

tip over the cooking-stove, and done
with it'll No sooner said than done.
| gave the old thing a hist, and over
it went--My eyes didn't my wife
come out OF bed But | did it.
Tarbox next gave his experience !:
Good for you, Tim but Tn even
with you, though my Job wasn't quito
70 tough. When | got home l had to
get into the bouse through the buttery
window, as usual, and I've no doubt
that | made considerable of a clatter
among the tin pans. If my wife had
been asleep she woke up. That's
right she called out at the top Of
her voice. Tip things over, won't
you Don't miss the cream pot. Upset
that too / knew the pot must be
nearly full Of cream, but I'd got the
order and was bound to obey, and
over went the next churnin' on to
the floor. What befell me very short

occasion, | won't say-bdt oUeyed

said. II s'pose I've got to foot The bill.

of me. When / got home | found

WAR "reminiscences.

The Washington Sunday Gazette
of the 18th instant contains another
of Col. William P. Woods interesting
letters, exposing some of the outrages
committed upon citizens of Maryland
residing on. the lower Potomac by a
combination of so.called detective"
acting under the authority of Col. L.
G. Baker, provost marshal of the War
Department" Many, in this county,
were victims of Baker and his gang,
some of whom, not content with rob-
bing during the war, the Falstafiian
marshal lied about in his book pub
lished after it was over. Mr.. Geo.
w. Carpenter, of Nanjemoy, Charles
county, one of the victims of these
marauders, has written an account
of the "vilainies' perpetrated upon
him which Col. Wood embodies in his
article published below;
CARPENTERS CHIPS.
The first knowledge I had of L. @.
Baker and his piratical band, under
Major Mort Sommers," was on or
about the 23rd day of July, 1868. 1t
was very hot and I was engaged at
my cooper house, an ut-building To-
Gated on my place, where some of my
thirty slaves occasionally worked. On
this occasion | was assisting in work
ing out" timber to repair some
of my farming implements, when,
on looking up, but a few steps from
me, | discovered three or four men,
most, if not all, clad in military or ma
val attire. This was no surprise, for
I, like all our people residing along
the border of the Potomac, was famil-
lar with such sights. / arose and sa-
luted them with
How are you, gentlemen ?" offer
ing them my hand. What mistake
I made) Each Of them had revolt
yer drawn, with the hammer well
back and the caps shining. "How is
this? What do you mean p Iasked.
The spokesman, Mort Sommers," as
l afterwards learned, replied
I have authority from Secretary
Stanton, through L. g. Baker, pro-
vost marshal of the War Department,
to arrest you and any other id Re-
bel in Maryland
You have ? / responded.
Yes, he answered.
Show me your authority and prove
me Rebel / said.
This is our authority, was the re-
spouse of the maurauders, at the same
time pointing their pistols at me.
Mort Sommers,' the long-haired de-
serter from the Louisiana Tigers
acted as Judge advocate, and shouted
out ANY man who owns niggers is
a Rebel, and he then advanced to put
his hands on me.
l stepped back and raised draw
ing knife, which held in my hand,
saying Don't touch me, sir. Ifyou
intend to shoot me, do 80; but keep
your hands off,
The result eliminated by my be-
ing made prisoner, and as | turned
towards the house to get my coat, my
captors followed at my heels.
'Sommers' halted me and demand
ed my money.
| told him | had but little-not
more than was necessary to leave with
my family for their comfort and sup
port.
He replied That made no differ
ence; much or little. Hand it out to
me at once.

Whom shall we call our heroes,
To whom our praises sing?
The pampered child of fortune,
The titled Lord or King?
They live by others labor
Take all, and nothing give;
The noblest type Of manhood
Are they who work to live.
Then honor to our workmen,
Our hardy sons of TOLL
The heroes of the workshop,
The nonarchs of the soil
Who spans the earth with iron,
And rears the palace dome
Who creates for the rich man
The comforts of his home?
It is the patient toiler,
All honor to him then
The true wealth of nation
Is in her working men.
For many barren ages
Earth hid her treasures deep;
Ana all ner giant FORCES
Seemed bound as in sleep,
Then Labor's "Anvil Chorus
Broke on the startled air;
And lol the earth in rapture,
Laid all her riches bare
IT'S toll that over nature
Gives man his proud control;
And purifies and hallows
The temple of his soul.
1t scatters foul diseases
With all their CHASTITY train;
Puts IRON in the muscle
And cRYsTAL in the brain
The Grand Almighty Builder,
Who fashioned out the earth,
Hath stamped His seal of honor
On labor from her birth.
In every angel flower,
That blossoms from the sod,
Behold the Master touches
The handiwork Of God
Then honor to the workmen,
Our hardy sons of toll;
The heroes of the workshop,
And monarchs of the soil
