The especial feature of the after
nooa of Christmas day in Charlestown
was the parade of the "Swampood-
lcrs." Though not so large in num-
bers rs on some previous occasions,
the display was a fine one--tic Co.'S
tunes varied and very attractive, and
the route of procession so laid off as
to take in all parts of the town. The
Shenandoah Milling Company, Valley

cry establishment of Mr.. Gustav

features in the procession. =" Cen

Sufferers Who Should Never lie Left WITH

Il seems strange. on the first blusn
of the matter, that so very few acci-
dents befall sleep-walkers. The pro-
portion of instances in which any ln-
jury is sustained by the subjects of this
remarkable state OF semi-sleep is very
small. The explanation Of the immu-
nity is doubtless TO be found in the fact
that it as 4 state of semi-sleep III which
the sleep-w alker makes his excursion.
He is sleeping only so far as part Of his
cerebrum is concerned. The rest OF
his brain is awake, and therefore it il
not a strange feat 10 walk carefully and
escape injury. doing all the necessary
acts of avoidance while carrying out
some dream purpose, just as waking
purpose is fulfilled. This hypothesis
obviously requires very full cXplana-
ton of such an accident as that by
which q sleep-walker recently came by
her death-namely. falling out Of an
open window. 1t is not likely TO have
been part of the dream to get ont of a
window. There must have been some
error in the carrying out Of the process;
such. for example, as turning to the
right instead of the left oii leaving
room, and thus walking through low
window instead OF through doorway
As rule the senses are sufficiently on
the alert to enable the sleep-walkcr To-
take all precautions for safety. and

We should like to. know more OF the
ease which has ended fatally from some
competent medical observer who has

>Eow Bismarck Pushed His Point
fparis CigarO.I

An Interesting and characteristic anec-
dote Of Bismarck's early career in
diplomacy is given. He was Prussian
Minister to the German Confederation
which sat at Frankfort. In the house in
which he lodged there was no bell, and he
intimated TO the proprietor the necessity
Of establishing such means of communica-
iion. The proprietor refused, as it was
"not SO nomin ated in the bond," OF con-
tract. By and by pistol shot was heard
in Bismarck's room. The atfrighted
proprietor hurried into the room TO find
out what the disaster was. "Don' d is
turb YOURSELF" said Bismarck; "this is to
call my servant. AS there is no bell viii
henceforward employ this method of sum-
moning him." The bell was supplied and,
the shooting ceased.

I'm speaking OF parental duty Mr.. Jones

be full blooming young ladies on the car

about it, but l am less concerned about
getting my daughters Off than any fellow

girls, and if they never marry it's all
right; but I will tell you what it is, don't
care how badly wanted my daughters to
marry, would not push them out in cer-
tain circles Of society. IL you have boy
who wants wife, and knew girl just
like your daughter in every way, would
you want your son to marry her-a
dancing, giddy, Goddess, Chrisless girl,
would you? Now, honor bright, would
you? You say: No, Jones, I give it
up. God knows l want my boy to marry
a better girl than my wife raised.
Of You had q sweet, nice daughter, and

you like to see her marry him! Let me
say this: If wanted to marry my daugh-
ters well would try to have them taught
how to bake bread, fry chicken and do all
manner of domestic duties SO well that
when persons came to our house they
would say that my wife was the best
housekeeper they ever saw, when, in fact,
1t was our daughters work. Then there
will be some frst-class boy come here,
five hundred miles away from home, and
marry her. I went five hundred hniles
to get a first class. wife from Kentucky,
and got her, too. / put you young men
on notice. told my wife that when any
bows came to our house to ask them in the
parlor and trent them like gentlemen, and

In the city of Pesth practical scientists
are engaged on an experiment to supply
the city with warm water derived from
subterranean sources. An artesian well,
the deepest in the world, has been bored
to a depth Of about one thousand yards.
The work was undertaken by two Hun

forty thousand pounds sterling toward
expenses. Already there is a supply OF
$4,000 gallons day at temperature OF
1G1 degrees, rising to height of thirty
five feet above the surface, and the work

has none OF those eels. and that its pun.

Real Estate Valued at 81 800. 900.

= Party OF Colored People Lay Claim Ia
Real Estate Valued at 81 500, 900.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan 20.-James A.
Wright, colored workingman, residing at
l,025 Ivy street. this city, and two near rel
atives-Mrs. Helen Ann johnson and Mrs.
Jane Tripp-have Just discovered, as they
believe, that they are entitled to an estate
in Baltimore valued at 81, 200, 600, the his
tory of which is quite romantic. Besides
them there are six co-heirs and heiresses liv-
ing in Maryland and the District of Co
lumbia
The matter of the claim dates back to the
latter part of the last century, when the
Cheyalier D'Amiens, member of rich and
distinguished French house, settled in Bal
timore for a time He had in his service e
mulatto housekeeper of considerable
beauty named Rachael Stevenson, in
whom he reposed great confidence. Previous
to his sailing for home in France he put all
his property in her name, his purpose being,
it Is supposed, to get a stronger hold upon
The estate, which could not vest in him by
reason of his being an alien. Rachel
Stevenson sailed with the chevalier fer
France, but the vessel was lost and neither
the chevalier nor the woman was ever heard
Gf again.
The records show that letters of admins
tration were granted to William Stevenson,
brother of Rachael, who claimed then to
be the only heir He died about thirty
years ago on farm near Baltimore. The
present claimants are all grand-nephews and
nieees of Rachael Stevenson, and they con-
tend that the original transfer to her was
absolute, no trust of any sort being made,
One of the properties, situated on Eutaw
street, near Barre, in Baltimore, was sold
tor Eon-payment of taxes, but the claimants
say they are still in time to redeem it upon
ray yment of the amount of taxes
