LACK OF SLEEP.

Lord Rosebery Is said to be a suf- ferer from insomnia. That is almost a guarantee of long life. A quarter of a century ago the Hon. Abram S. Hewitt was a martyr to sleeplessness. The Hon Fernando Wood, of New York. then living in Washington, owned a yellow dog which was passionately de- voted to serenades in honor of Diana, then regnant in the heavens. How that cur did persist in baying at the moon! MT. Hewitt got little sleep at best, and when that wretched beast was yapping and yelping at the silvery goddess of the sky he got no sleep at all. He was naturally discuieted. and sent a mes- sage of amiable. good natured protest to MT. Wood.
 There were some incidents and cir cumstances attendant upon the nightly musicals of MT. Woods mongrel that were sufficiently amusing to prompt the writing of an editorial article in The Tribune by Isaac H. Bromley. That contribution was so excruciatingly fun ny that it was copied all over the country. It had a wonderful run: and many a newspaper reader who has genuine liking for true, unaffected wit and humor can even now recall his enjoyment when he first read that masterpiece.
 But here is the kernel of this nut Mir Hewitt was so tormented by in- somnia some twenty-five years ago that he was almost ready to pray for death to end his misery. But he is still liv- ing in the second year of this new cen- tury, hale and hearty, physically and mentally. His intellect is as clear and strong as it was half century ago. and there is good reason to hope that he has nancy years of usefulness before him. May Lord Rosbery be equally fortunate!-New York Tribune.

 My conclusion is that the bill must be dismissed as against the defendants. of Edward Murjahan of Philadelphia vs. William A.

 The defendant demurred and insists that if he is not entitled to the relief prayed for, he applies for leaves for leave tG amend
