A SOmnamDuIISt'S PredICament,

A telegram from Coleman, Mich,
says: Will Ogden, a young busl-
ness man, is engaged to a daugh-
ter of an estimable and wealthy
family residing here. Mr.. Ogden
has for some time been afflicted
with somnambulism, but has
carefully kept the fact from his
friends until it was found out last
night in a peculiar manner. Mr.
Ogden accompanied his betrOthed

an hour at the house after service
About midnight he arose III ms
sleep and, without dressing, LETT
his room and called at the house OF
the parents of his betrothed. The
Old gentleman le' him in, when,
discovering his predicament, but
not understanding the cause, KICK
ed the young man into the street

peared. OF course Ogden was
awakened by his rough treatment
and went quietly to his raom,w where
he lies to-day Frustrated with
modification, although the doctor
saws it is cold contracted by last
nights exposure.

\ Nevada newspaper calmly
alleges that some months ago W.
j. Marsh, of Fort Churchill, built
a fence around one of his meadows
along the bank of the river, and
for posts used young cottonwood
and willow trees. A gate was
made in the fence and an extra
heavy post was put In the ground
for the gate to swing on. IL was
noticed that a number of the green
posts were sending sout branches,
but no attention was paid to this
fact. After cutting the first crop
of alfalfa in this field some cattle
were turned into the inclosure
through another gate, away from
the river. They were soon found
outside of the fence aud man was
sent to find out where the fonco was
broken. lie had found the fence all
right, but upon coming to the
lower gate found it raised about
five feet in the air-high enough
for cattle to go under. The post to
which the gate was hinged had
grown that much and carried the
gate with It.

A Washington dispatch to the
Boston HerdM says that reliable
information has reached this city
to the effect that Robert G.. Inger-
soil cannot recover from his illness;
that the throat trouble with which
he is affected resembles that which
killed General Grant, and is re-
garded by his doctors as incurablc,
and that they have told him so.
The operation which was perform
ed in Philadelphia last Sunday was
not successful, and it is thought he
will live only as long as he can

sake of his family, and that at
heart he realizes the fatality Of the

Jackson Braxser, Esq, farmer
living about six miles from Suffolk,
has a very singular and unusual
growth of corn. A large field OF
perfectly dry and ripe corn has in
it two stalks, two hundred yards
apart, that are perfectly green and
are still growing. They were plant.
ed in April with the rest Of the
crop. These stalks are thirteen
feet high, have never silked or tas-
seled, and the blades of deep green
fodder will measure four feet long.
Another singular fact is that they
both have spur-rOots at every joint
from the ground six feet mp the
stalks. He proposes to protect
them from the frost to see how long
they will grow. Can any OF our
scientific farmers explain this phe-

NAMING THE BABY.

"Fond Mother" Braley's Fork,
asks: "What shall ! name my lit.
tie girl baby 7"
That will depend upon yourself
very largely, "Fond Mother" Very
likely if your little girl is very
rugged and grows up to be the fat
woman in a museum, she will wear
the name of Lily. When a girl is
named Lily she at once manifests a
strong desire to grow up with a
complexion like Othello, and the
same fatal yearDing for some one
to strangle. This is not always thus,
but girls are obstinate, and it is
better not to put name on a girl
baby that she will not live up to.
Again, "Fond Mother" let me
urge you to refrain from naming
your little daughter soft, fiabby
name like Irma, Geraldine, Bando.

PETERSBURG. VA, October 81.
- There has been no rain in the
counties adjacent to Petersburg for
nearly two months, aud the pro-
tracted drouth is proving a serious
drawback to farmers. The ground
is absolutely so hard and dry that
no blowing or following can be
done, hence The sowing of wheat
and oats is entirely prevented. a
week or two ago the farmers began
the digging of peanuts, but ground
has now become so hard that it
has been found necessary to stop
this kind of work. In some sec
tions springs and branches are
drying up.

Rival Brothers In Politics.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. 23.-
All and Bob Taylor, the Republi-
can and Democratic brothers who
are running as rival candidates for
governor Of Tennessee, have had
more fun out Of this campaign than
any two rival gubernatOrlal candi-
dates ever had before. They tray
el together and have joint discus
sions. All, the Republican, is the
more intelligent of the Two, and
generally offers the best arguments ;
but genial, gOOd-natured, rollicking
Bob, the Democrat, has got the
people with him. The brothers are
firm and earnest in their separate
convictions. At the final meetings
in Chattanooga yesterday the broth
er candidates were escorted by a
great procession, composed OF
whites and blacks, Democrats and
Republicans, to the courthouse,
each crowd trying to beat the 9TH
er at hurrahing for its candidate
Alrs carriage was drawn by four
dark bay horses and Bob's by four
pure whites. The Republicans in
the procession wore red roses and
the Democrats white roses or ro-
settes, as indicating their sympa'
thy in this "war of the roses," as
the political race has been termed
by Bob Taylor, the Democratic can
didate. Their speeches were OF the
usual campaign style. Bob's fun
ny stories are heartily appreciated.
The canvass is now nearly ended,
and it has been one Of the llvellest
ever witnessed in Tennessee.

To Break the ridden Will.
From the New York Sun.

rom lnt wow iOlh puus
Andrew II. Green, George w.
Smith and John Bigelow, executors
of the will of Samuel j. TiideD, have
been served with copies of sum-
mons in an action on the will be-
gun by George II. Tilden. The SUIT
is brought in the supreme court, and
indoIsed on the summons is the re-
quest "Plaintiff desires the trial
to be in the city and county of New
York" The summons is dated De-
tober 20. George II. Tilden is
named as sole plaintiff. The three
executors, all of the relatives, and
all of the beneficiaries under the
will, twenty eight in all, are named
as defendants. Vandcrpoel, Green
& Gaming appear as plaintiffs
counsel. Mr.. Vanderpoel was one
of Tilden's pall-bearers. Carter x
Ledyard, attorneys for the execu-
tors, have twenty days in which to
serve notice of appearance, and
then twenty days more may elapse
before they receive the complaint.
There will not be this delay. Mr..
Delos McCurdy, Of Vanderpoel.
Green & Cunning, who has the case
in his hands, says that he will Ger.
tainly serve the complaint within
ten or twelve days. lie declined
to state It's nature, but it Is known
that the indefiniteness of the clause
constituting the general trust is
the point of attack. 1t is not likely
that any attempt will be made to
enjoin the executors in the mean
time.
Under the forty-third clause of
the will, prescribing penalties for
contest, George IL. Tilden loses his
bequest of $4,000. 1t is probable
that he also loses his right to re-
quest the cancellation Of the debt
of $500, 900 due Mr.. Tilden by the
Tllden drug firm.
The executors will proceed at
once to make an inventory of the
estate. They presented their let
ters testamentary to the Third Ma
tional bank yesterday, and trans
ferred the account from hr. Til
den's name to their three names.
All three executors must sign a
check before money can be drawn.
When a lawyer of the eminence
of Samuel j. Tilden cannot make
a will so definite In its provisions as
to shut ont all possibility ofassault
after his death, where is the hum
bier practitioner who will dare to
warrant his work Z?

A special to the New York World
from Boston, October 10, says {;
Mrs. Abraham Lamb, wife of one
of the leading democratic pOlitl-
clans, gave birth to male child a
week ago to-day which was disfg.
ured with the detormity of hare
lip and cleft palate. The father
and Mrs. Weeden, aunt of Mrs.
Lamb, we're greatly disappointed
on discovering that the child was
deformed, but DR.. Cushman, at.
tending physician, assured them
that the lip could be made to ap.
pear all right, and that by an arti-
fetal palate the child would be able
to talk. They, however, were not
satisfied, and, it is said, blamed the
physician for not allowing the child
to die at it's birth. Sunday morn
ing the child died, and the physi-
clan, suspecting it had been pois-
oned, notified the police. This
morning Mary b. Elliott, the nurse,
was arrested and confessed that the
infant had been given laudanum at
the solicitation of the father and
aunt. The police while making a
search for the father found that
be had disposed of his business and
left the city. The nurse was ar
raigned on the charge of murder
and committed without bail.

FROM TRAMP TO MILLIONAIRE.

A man named John r. Jones, who
was generally supposed TO be a
tramp, and who dressed like one,
appeared at IshpeDning, Mich,
two months ago, and, after working
for a while about different mines,
offered twenty. five cents a ton for
a pile of refuse rock at the Win
thorpe Hematic Company's mines,
the money to be paid as the rock
was removed. Jones said he
thought he could make a little
something off the rock. The com
pany was surprised one day when
Jones SCI force Of men at work
sorting the rock and cartine fl the
ore. Jones also bought other piles
of rock at the same figures. II now
transpires that the rock pans ont
one.half good ore, for which Jones
receives $3.50 ton. The Win
thrope pile alone contained five
hundred thousand tons ofrock, and
netted Jones over 81, ,00O,OOO.-
Other piles have netted him about
$4,000, 1000. The work has been
conducted under the very eyes OF
the mill owners, who have regard
ed the rock piles as worthless and
paid no attention to Jones. With
in few days the fact has leaked
out that the Jones ore has been
shipped largely to Joliet, Ill. The
news came back from that point,
and has created great sensation.
Jones appeared in his own carriage
on Saturday, and is treated as a
leading citizen. He can buy no
more rock piles for twenty-five cents
a ton. The owners are going about
in large numbers sampling the
heaps of refuse which dot the min
ing fields.

Incidents Of me Dsluge al Sabine Pass,
Texas,


Captain +. a. Hyatt and William
Guy report that they had singu-
lar experience as members of the
relief committee on their way 10
the Pass. The train on which they
were travelling stopped on dump
five miles from the town. The
water all around this neck of land,
on which was placed the track, was
fully s feet deep. The hands of
Messrs. Hyatt and Guy are blister
ed from fighting snakes, which lit
orally covered the dump for dis
tance of five miles. There were
thousands of water mOccasins from
the OverilOwed district, taking ret
uge on the narrow stretch of land,
and every step across they had to
be fought. Many ofthem were the
deadly stump.tailed mOccasins,
larger than % mans arm. Wild
cats also, frenzed at the waters
fury, rushed pell-mell upon pedes-
trians, while cOOns and every va
riety of animals snapped at passers-
by with hydrOphobic rage. Many
times the pedestrians left the dump
and swan around the angry rep
tiles rather than try to pass them.
Captain Hyatt alone killed over
100 snakes during his walk of FIVE
miles, which consumed about ten
hours. Mr.. Guy says that no money
could tempt him to make the trip
over again. In stepping about in
the dark he was tripped up and
thrown by a snake two inches in
diameter. and fully > feet long.

Here is a case in which a learned
Judge has decided suit on the
common sense principle of ocular
evidence, which is becoming so
fashionable in our law courts. This
particular suit hung on the dt of a
coat and q pair Of trousers. The
plaintiff sued tailor for a sum he
had paid for the suit on the ground
that it was a misfit. Tue tailor
denied the base impeachment on
his sartOrial skill. But the plain
tiff brought the clothes into court,
and was ordered by the Judge to
put the coat on. The Judge and
the usher examined the coat criii.
cally and the judge declared that
the tailor chad not made q suit
WHICH any gentleman could wear"
and gave the verdict for the plain
tiff without even troubling him to
change his trousers.
