The common Use of "cuss" words is as

ShakeSpeare's stronger characters curse

In the Good Book damn" and 'damna-

and Charity, but in the mouth of an angry
man bound to explode unless the safety

profanity. All blasphemous Xpressions
must of necessity come from the Bible,
and we are particularly forbidden the use
of the Creator name in vain, or merely
as relief 10 overburdened choler This
is said in all seriousness, and some Of The
best men in the world break the command

CHAMPION sOMNAMBULIsT.
MIXED 10 Cows and Drove to Market
and Rack Before Being Walked.

ana huck DtlhS
From the Philadelphia Record.
Farmer Broadbelt of Berwyn, Chester
county, has very good claim upon the
title of champion somnambulist. One
morning Broadbelt arose from his bed at
2 o'clock, and, without stopping TO change
his night robe for more suitable attire,
went out to his barn and MIXED all of his
sixteen cows and prepared the milk for
market This took considerable time, Of
course. but after that was done he hitch
ed I'D the horse and wagon, and, loading
the milk cans upon the latter, drove Off TO
the station. There he unloaded the cans
according to his daily custom and drove
back home.
The dawn was just breaking when he
drove the wagon into the barnyard. He
was sound asleep and had been so dur
ing the entire performance. His return
TO consciousness was due to a vigorous
shaking administered by his wife, who,
having missed him from his bed, had got
ten dressed and sailed forth 10 find him.
Inasmuch as this story is vouched for by
Broadbelt himself, it is clear that he is
unquestionably the champion sleepwalk-
er-or something else.

FIFTH ILLINOIS DISAPPOINTMENT.
Revocation of the Marching Orders
Explained.


Washington. July 2s-The war depart
ment officials declare most positively that

done all in his power to meet the demands
Of the regiment in regard 10 going to the

cumstances over which he had no control.

The disappointment of the Fifth Hi
nois in being turned back yesterday after

heartened many that they have no further
ambition for military life.
Col Culver denies any responsibility for
the orders calling the men back to camp

with the regiment TO Porto Rico. Having
twice been shifted from brigades that
were ordered to the front, the Fifth Hi
nois feels greatly irritated and although
they We're much more tractable to-day
they were by no means placated.

reputation, and the court sentenced her to
ninety days on the farm In default of a
bond of 500.
