THE SLEEP or DEATH.
a Drowsiness That Attacks People I'm
Some Climates Months Before Death.


Some Climates Months Before Death.
An interesting account descriptive Of
the sleepy disease" peculiar TO Africa,
Is given In the journal OF an African
Cruiser" Persons attacked by this
singular malady are those who take
little exercise and live principally on
vegetables, particularly cassoda and
rice. Some observers ascribe 1t to the
cassoda, which Is strongly narcotic.
Not improbabIy the climate has much
influence, the disease being most prev
alent in low and marshy regiona
Irresistible drowsiness continually
weighs down the patient, who can be
kept awake only for the few minutes
needful to take little food When
this lethargy has lasted three or four
months death comes, but only In the
form Of deeper slumber. The author
of the book mentioned tells of mem.

THE GAMBLING MANIA.
An Epidemic That Ia Growing More viru-

tent Etfrg bhy.
The passion for gambling has for
many years been increasing In this
country. until it threatens to become
pre-eminently the national vice.
Whether ii arose from the fever for
speculation which indirectly was one OF
the most evil of the results OF the rebel
lion in the North, or whether the cause
Is TO be looked for in that general spirit
Fastening to be rich that Is prominent
characteristic of American civilization
10 might not be easy to determines; but
of the fact there is unhappily no room
for doubt
Il Is not alone that the lottery has be-
come a national institutions; for however
much one may shirk from acknowledge
ing this, IL Is practically the truth
IL Is not alone that so many millions
flow year by year into the pockets Of
avowed lotteries. American and foreign,
or that the resources of the country arc
constantly on the strain caused by the in
fuence of legalized gambling of the
Stock Exchange. 1t Is in n hundred diff
ferent ways that the tendency of the
times shows itself. 1t Is In the constant
allusions 10 poker-playing which figure
In the columns Of every newspaper. which
adorn every farce. and which form half
the stock In trade of the so-called comic
paragrapher. II Is in the complete mania
for betting on horse-racing that has ta-
ken possession OF the clerks and tho
young men of New York, and which is
steadily on the increase in Boston.
Every day, rain or shine, summer and
winter, in snow storms which would
seem to make II impossible, and In going
80 bad that ''mud-horses" are feature
Of the betting, the races go on. not as
all In the interest OF the sport. but en-
tirely for the sake Of the book-making.
The same spirit shows itself on every
side; and IL halt Is not called soon, we
shall excel the Chinese In the vice OF
gambling. The epidemic is upon us. and

AND now the Republican says thai the report of the appointment oi Mrs, Herring and Mrs. Butler is a mistake. This being the case the commission CTS can dc no better than to appoint them forthwith, as the press of the Territory without regard <o political complexion have most heartily en- dorsed them. Why should politics cut any figure in the appointment oi those who are not, and in the majority ot cases do not care to be, recognized as political factors? If appointments are to be made as matter of political courtesy, it is by no means a foregone conclusion that the wife Of a Republi- can is bound to her husbands political -aeas, or that Democrat can safely be the sponsor for his wiie's democ- raey.
