INSTRUMENTATION.
some More Device. for Overcoming
Insomnia.

The London Spectator continues us
publications OF letters on the subject OF
sleeplessness. A correspondent, signing
himself GA Handwriting Journalist,
writes as follows
"In my own case occasional difficulty
in going to sleep arises from one OF two
distinct causes. The first IS an oyer-ex-
cited brain, and in that case | invariably
find that my eyes are in constant move
ment, although the lids are closed. The
remedy is resolutely TO fix the eyes, the
aaze directed downward-ssy TO the loot
of the bed-while the lids are kept
closed. Concentrated attention IS needed
in this effort, and that in itself is good
for promoting sleep. o.,
"The second cause OF sleeplessnessNlth
me is the form of indigestion known as
flatulence, which may be relieved IN va
rious ways. Ny own plan OF getting re-
lief is to get mp, dress partially. and 60

room. A bad attack may require "A iittle

dose OF whiskey is more enectual with
me than with person who IS not as

Another correspondent writes as fol
lows:
"Your sleepless correspondents are
looking very far afeld for their remedy,
which lies under their own hand, and IS

some OF tho Questions that VIII
be Considered.

The September meeting OF the Board
of Aldermen will be held this evening,
commencing at z O'Clock. The session
will be quite an interesting one. as there
are several important matters to be con-
sidered. and it is probable that the mem
bers of the Board will not JOIN their
families until a late hour.
The Street Committee will present nn
ordinance authorizing the Richmond
and Manchester Street Railway Compa-
nv 10 use electricity as motive-power on
its present line from Manchester over
the Free bridge and up Ninth street to
Main. This will meet with opposition, as
il did in the committee, but 1T will pass
by a good majority. Manchester, and the
South Side generally. is entitled to this
approach 10 Richmond. and there is no
reason why, with proper safeguards,
electric cars may not pass back
and forth with the utmost safety. In
this matter the Street Committee first
reported an ordinance requiring the
company TO take up its track on Ninth
street north of Canal, and to run U'G
Canal and Seventh streets 70 and across
Main street. This was recommltted
The Manchester Council and Swansboro
citizens adopted resolutions protesting
against the change of route. Delegations
from both places appeared before the
Street Committee, and as result "a ia
vorable report will be made on the
original petition Of the company.
This committee, TO whom was referred
the petition of Mr.. Otho q. Owens ana
associates asking permission to build
cross town railway, will also report an
ordinance granting the franchises de-
sired. The original petition asked TO be
allowed 10 build on Third street, but
Mr.. Owens, finding that there was some
objection to the railway on the part OF
propertv-owners on this street. appeared
before the committee and had Second
street substituted The line is to be
single track all the way, with turn
outs and switches for cars to pass each
other; beginning Mt Ninth street and
running west on Canal street TO Second
street, north on Second TO Hospital
street. east on Hospital to Fifth street.
The company will also be authorized

thence back to Second. This loop will
be especially to accommodate persons
going to market, and cars will only be
run on it until II A. NJ. except Satur-
days, when they will be operated all day.
it has been stated that resolution
will be offered requiring the City Rail
way Company to take down the poles
that have been put mp Oh Main street.
1t is contended that while the company
were granted permission to erect these
poles they should not have encumbered
the street with them until they were
ready to convert this into an electric
line. The idea is that if electricity is
not to he used as motive power until
spring the street should be cleared OF
the poles until that time.

nea,b or.n ESt,mabIc Lady.

At 1 o'clock Yesterday morning the
mother Of Mr.. David c. Richardson de-
parted this life at his residence, corner
Of Twenty-sevonth and NJ streets. She
was IN her sixty.eighth year, and was
the widow Of Turner Richardson, Esq,
who died here ia 1870 after an honored
and useful life in New Kent and in this
CITY. She was the model wife and
mother. Her family and the Church
were her greatest pleasures. Her faith
WAS sublime. and no cloud dimmed 1t
from the period in her early life when
she embraced religion to the hour which
sundcred her existence on earth. Al
most in her last moments, as her mind
reverted to days far in the past and to
loved ones long gone before she said
triumphantly 81 am coming; III be
with you in two hours.' Her illness
was brief and she knew it would be fatal,
but il never occurred to her to repine.
When it is truthfully said Of one that
she fulfilled womans noblest mission
additional eulogy is well-nigh impossible.
With perfect exactitude it may be spoken
of Mrs. Richardson. Her temper was
rarely rufied; her mind was admirably
balanced, and her judgment remarkably
good. She was of an obliging DISPOSE
ton. and her goodness and charities ex-
tended to all about her, while to husband
and children she gave the abundance OF
q good woman's love and devotion.
Her funeral will take place at ii
o'clock this morning from Union-Station
Methodist church, with which she had
been connected during her residence OF
thirty-three years in this city.
