He Arose.

UTICA, MIMI, Feb. 17.-Herman Harms,
whose long sleep has been mentioned hereto
fore, awoke yesterday morning from his mys-
FERROUS sleep of seven years, for the second
time, about four years intervening. He arose
from his bed with a clear mind, dressed him
self, seated himself by the fire, read a news
paper and conversed nationally with his
neighbors, many of whom called during the
day. Mrs. Harms is hopeful that her hus-
band may finally recover from the queer
malady, for which she is treating him under
instructions from a gentleman Of Des

Of the house committee on territories, which
has been charged with the preparation of the
''omnibus" bill to enable the territories of
Dakota, Montana, Washington and Arizona
to secure recognition as states was busily en-
gagged in framing that measure today. A
large part OF the session was consumed in an
effort to define the amount and location of
the public lands to be allowed each of the
proposed new states, and the subcommittee
still has this section of the bill under con-
sideration. Chairman Springer is hopeful
that the measure can be completed by Tues
day next SO that the full committee can then
take it up.

An Amusing Incident Of the Recent
Gold Snap.

An Amusing Incident of the Recent
Cold Snap.
A tall man, holding a carpet stretcher
with the teeth all gone, says the New
York Tribune, stood at an Eighth avenue
corner one morning last week, and fur
lively watched the maid servant of
three story brick house scatter ashes on
the icy side walk. He was man of mid
die age, wearing frock coat SO dilapi-
dated as to suggest that the billiards. of
several seasons had toyed with its ample
folds. The servant maid, having ex-
hausted the supply of ashes, returned to
the house, and the tall man wandered
slowly up, whipped out a brush broom
from his coat tail pocket, and with few
vigorous strokes swept the ashes into the
gutter, leaving the sidewalk dangerously
icy again. Then he sauntered carelessly
on, and returning rang the bell. A short
woman in wrapper answered the sum-
mons.
II want to speak to the lady of the
house" said the tall man insinuatingly.
"Pm her."

Every likely you did, madame, but you

waving the carpet stretcher impressively
toward the icy pavement. The wind
from Jersey Highlands is sweeping
through this street and carrying
everything before it. Your ashes" he
added dismally, ARE now just about
crossing Third avenue"

sidewalk, where no ashes now remained.

drive him from the country So Tezcat-
lipoca appeared in the form of an aged
man, and informed the "Feathered Ser
pent' that it was the will of the gods he
should be taken to Tlapalla. At first
Quetzalcoatl declined to go, but after
drinking beverage which the old man
offered him he suddenly changed his
mind and set out at once, followed by
many of his subjects Many traces of this
memorable journey are still pointed out.
Near the city Of Quauhtitlan, in the Val
ley of Mexico, he felled tree with stones,
which to this day remain fixed in the
trunk, and near the village of Halnapaut-
la he laid his hand upon rock and left
an impress of it for all time to come. FL
n,lly, on his way to the coast, he came to
Cholula, where the great pyramid is, and
the people would not let him 60, but
made him their ruler There he remained
twenty years, though the Cholulans
would have detained him much longer.
He did not approve of thcsaerifces of hui
man beings, which some of the tribes
made part of their worship. and com
handed tnat they offer to the gods only
fruits and flowers.
Finally, drawn by some irresistible i'm
pulse, he babe adieu TO his beloved Cho-
lulans, and, taking with him four noble
youths, set.out for the Province of Goetz-
coaleos, on the Gulf of Mexico. Here he
dismissed his attendants and launched out
upon the waters alone; and the youths
returned TO Cholula, where they ruled for
many years. 1t is said that Qaetzal-coati
appeared later on the coast of Yucatan:
and was worshipped there for many years
under the name of Kukulcan; and today
his image may be seen cut into the walls
of the vast ruined edifces of that PENN
sula When he left lula and Choluia

singing birds, every one. followed him to
that mysterious kingdom Of the East, the
land Of Tlapallan. But he promised his
followers that he would return some time
and bring back all the prosperity that had

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
1t is Improving Slowly, and Money Ii
Nowhere In Sharp Demand.


Nowhere In Sharp Demand.
Dun & Co.'s Review of Trade for
the week ending June %. says: "Fi-
nancial uncertainties have but little
present influence, because the mar
rowing industrial and commercial de.
mands have large accumulations UNI
employed at all financial centres.
Tho political uncertainty engrosses
attention, and there is little prospect
that it will diminish until the ballots
have been counted in November.
"Rcports from the interior are uni
formly favorable in tone, for the pros
peot is considered cheering. Money
is nowhere in sharp demand, and the
complaints of slowness in collections
are much less numerous this week.
"The outgo Of gold has not been
large, and has been more than met
by Treasury disbursements in pur.
chase of bonds and otherwise, which
have exceeded receipts by about
*s,0C0,0O0 for the week. Neverthe-
less, foreign trade continues in such
shape that gold must 60 abroad
largely, unless the outward movement
of securities continues unchecked.
In three weeks exports from New
York have fallen S! per cent. below
last years, while there has been an
increase here IN imports of six rer
cent. Money is everywhere in
abundant supply, and it will doubt
less be the policy of the Treasury tc
prevent any st:ingency, but unless
business becomes much more active
little effort TO that end will be need
ed for the next two months"
