A SLEEP INDUCER.
On the 10th of March, 1885, New
York woman patented a device for in-

lengthy to be here given in full, but the
device consisted of a collar-like band Of
rubber partly encircling the neck and was
fashioned SO as to control the flow of blood
to and from the head by limited pressure
on certain veins and arteries There
has never been much of sale of the device
but no doubt it could be used to great
advantage by many people who suffer
fl ON loss of sleep on accounts Of headaches,
etc.
On the ED of February, 1881, patent
was issued to a Boston woman on two

a monster engine sent flying into the cut,
and no sooner would II break through
the barrier than the dry particles OF snow
would be blown In clouds into the cut,

five engines stuck in tie cut at one time.

HARDsH MRS or THE SEA.
Stormy VOYAGE ofthe TaiInhassee-Covered
w tn Ice.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The steamship
Tallahassee, Of the Ocean Steamship Line,
arrived from Savannah this afternoon af-
ter very tempestuous voyage. Captain
Haskins said to-day, when he landed at
the pier, that * was one OF tie worst
trips he had ever experienced. For forty
eight hours before the steamship reached
here Captain Haskins had not slept, but
passed the most of the time on the bridge
looking after the safety of his ship.
The Tallahassee left Savannah at 8
o'clock Tuesday afternoon, and was due
here Friday morning. She had fifteen
passengers on board. When south of Hat
teras she ran into a blizzard, accompanied
with snow and hail. The wind blew gale
from the northeast. and the sea was high,
the waves breaking over the bow OF the
steamer water freezing as 1t feel. The
storm increased in violence, and the cold
was intense. At 3 o'clock Friday morn
ing. when off the Highlands, Captain Has
sins hove to his vessel, waiting for the
storm to pass off. At / o'clock this morn
ing he resumed his course and brought his
vessel safely to her pier. No person on
board was injured, and the vessel was
NOT damaged. She was, however covered
with ice from stem TO stern. Her decks
were covered with ice three inches thick
in places, and the ice on her sides was
just as thick. She presented a novel pic
ture as she came slowly up the bay un-
der her own steam, the rays of the sun
lighting up the masses of ice with which
she vas ornamented.
Two of the Old Dominion steamers the
Richmond from Newport News and the
City of Columbia, Captain Davis, from
West Point. Va. arrived to-day. Both
vessels were covered with ice. They had
a severe battle with the storm but wealth
cred 1t without damage. The City OF
Columbia left West Point Wednesday and
anchored off Yorktown Thursday on ac-
count of the storm.

of the United States Circuit Court to-day
in favor of the Southern Associated Press.
The decision rendered by Judge Par

making out its case, as contained in the
bill Under the circumstances, it could
not grant the relief desired. II is the
rule i'm the United States Courts, where
one circuit judge refuses TO grant pre-

be appealed TO. Judge Parlange, however,
stated that in the present instance he
would allow the Times-Democrat TO apply

lange being a district judge sitting as
circuit Judge. Mr.. Buck, Of counsel for the
Tines Democrat, said that ne would not
apply to either of the circuit judges, but
that he would probably file an amended
