Boothbay's Question.

The committee ON towns will hold meet
port about the Boothbay case. The COM
mittee are divided. A prominent member Of
the legislature, who generally knows what
he is talking about, said today "You will not
be far out of the way II you say that that
committee stands about evenly divided" A
member of the fourth branch, on the other
hand, thinks they stand about seven for d.
vision with three against, and thinks it is
doubtful IL the three bring in minority re-
port. But it is yet rather early to predict
how the committee will stand. They are to

insufficient sleep on the part of the men.
The effect OF the dream habits upon men
tai work is also evident. Those VINO dream
seldom, or sleep deeply. are better disposed
for work in the forenoon than light sleepers
and frequent dreamers. The forenoon
seems in general to be toe preferred time of
work. The statistics regarding nervous
ness confirm the accepted fact that this is
greater among students than other men at
large. It is. too, concomitant of light
sleep and frequent dreams. AS to tempera-
ment, the phiegmatic people are quite con
stantly deep sleepeTs ana infrequent dream
erS. Finally, a contrast between teachers
and professors of the same average age
shows the effect Of the occupation. The
teacher, with his daily toll, has lighter
sleep and more frequent dreams, while the
professor, leading comparatively congen-
lal and worthless life, is a deeper sleeper
and a less frequent dreamer than the

Load of Visitors to the Fight.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
NEW ORLEANS, July Ga number of
northern intending visitors to the Sullivan
Kiirain fight, who arrived here this morn
ing by the Mobile and Ohio railroad, had
an experience just above Meridian astnight
which they are not likely to forget in
hurry. Among the passengers were four
negroes, brothers, who formerly lived at
Meridian. aud who killed seven white men
in an election fracas there four years ago.
They escaped and went to St Louis, where
they married and settled down. A Missis-
sippi constable heard of their whereabouts,
got requisition for them, and arrested
them in st. Louis on July 4.
Word was telegraphed to the conductor
of the train that a force of armed men
would intercept his train for the purpose of
taking the negroes off and lynching them.
and he was ordered not to stop until he got
to Meridian. The negroes were locked in a
baggage car, and the baggagemaster got
into the cab of the engine with the engineer
and firemen- All the passen gers in the cars
including those in the seepers were made
to lie down on the floors of the car at a
given signal--four blasts from the engine
whistle-and the train dashed by the sta
ton at full speed. As it did several volleys
We're fired at it by the crowd in waiting.
Three windows in the sleeper were shat
tered by balls, and several of the cars were
struck by them, but fortunately none of
the passengers were hit or hurt by them.
The negroes were taken off at Meridian in
the presence Of a great crowd, and the con-
ductor of the train thinks that they will be
lynched.
A prominent Brooklyn sporting man,
from whom these facts were obtained. says
he never wants to have another experience
of the kind.

a stranco circumstance occnrr

A strange circumstance occurred
at Rockport, w. Va, in connection
with the flood disaster. Miss Sheets,
a daughter of James Sheets, lost her
voice last winter, and since then had
not been able TO sperk except in a
whisper. The night of the flood the
water came up around the house. In
attempting to leave the house Miss
Sheets stumbled and fell She was
badly frightened, of course, and
tried 20 scream for help. Immedi-
ately she recovered her voice, and
found that she could speak as well as
ever.

The DREAD OF NIGHT AIR.-An
extraordinary fallacy is the dread Of
night air. What air can we breathe
at night but night air? The choice
is between pure night air from with
out and foul air from within. Most
people prefer the latter-an unac-
countable choice. WhatWiIl they say
if it is proved to be true that fully
one-half of all the diseases we suffer
from are occasioned by people sleep
ing With their windows shut? An
open window most nights in the year
can never hurt them. In great cities
night air is often the best and purest
to be had in twenty-four hours. One
could better understand shutting the
windows in town during the day than
during the night for the sake Of the
sick. The absence Of smoke, the
quiet, all tend to make the night the
best time for airing the patient. One
of the highest medical authorities on
consumption and climate has told me
that the air of London is never as
good as after 10 O'Clock at night
Always air your room then, from the
outside air.-SanitdTV World.
