WALK IN THEIR SLEEP.
QUER PERFORMANCES OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SOMNAMBULISTS.
How a Lawyer Once Disturbed Some Hotel Guests - A Young Lady Violently Attacks a Dressing Case, Supposing It a Burglar. An Old Warrior on the Roof.
Many impetitions, weak minded and timelike people are prone to regard with awe a person subject to attacks of somnambulism as one possessed of familiar spirits and on speaking terms with ghosts and all sorts of dreadful things. But such people are not nearly so common as they were in the days of puritanic bliss, when even the statute residues of bean loving Boston believed it quite the thing to cast old wives into the sea, and if they survived the tollows to bang them as witches. But those "good old times" are well out of the way. Somnambulism remains to rage, and even here in Chicago men and women, and something makes of fashion, have been known to do marvellous things in the signage of the night, when "golden sleep doth reign."
A well-known jurist, who respite beat of the Chicago river, went to a watering place at Colfax, Ia., for his rheumatism. The hotel was crowded and the judge placed in the same room with a traveling man, who was to be there only over night. It was blank and rainy and the wind roared angrily through the tall trees back of the hotel. And as if to further prepare the guests for a tragedy, the landlord, an old settler, related the story of an awful murder committed in the vicinity years and years before to a party of chronic invalids in the parlor.
At 11 o'clock the guests sick and well were all in bed. At midnight every one was sound asleep, and by 12 o'clock there was nothing save the meaning of the wind through the trees interharded with an occasional snore from some sound sleeper to be heard. It was at this moment that the Chicago jurist distinguished himself and worried nearly 300 sickly men and nervous women out of their wits.
"Help! Help! Murder! Help! Murder! Help!" wailed the judge in a vole that fairly made the building tremble, and then he moaned as one flying in awful agony.
ONLY THE NIGHTMARE.
With the first cry of help from the judge every man, woman and child in the hotel sat up in bed and let the cold chill repulseantly along their spines. The next brought half the guests to the floor and sent the other half deep down beneath the windows and then pill me neck or nothing better skelbor, like a flock of antipodal sleep; the frightened guests ran upon women and children—arrayed in fanta to slumber arrangements of all sizes, sorts and styles, from red flannel to pure white cambric with flounces and frills until the corral around the judge's chamber was packed so close you could not have dropped a pin.
By this time the judge realized that he had an attack of the nightmares, and would
With the first cry of help from the judge every man, woman and child in the hotel sat up in bed and let the cold chills impulseantly along their spines. The next brought half the guests to the floor and sent the other half deep down beneath the covers and then pill meh neck or nothing better skelar, like a flock of stumped sleep the frightened guests ran over women and children—arrayed in fanta to slumber garments of all sizes, sorts and styles from red flannel to pure white cambria with flounces and frails until the corridor around the judge's chamber was packed so close you could have frogged a pin.
By this time the judge realized that he had an attack of the nightmare, and so did the traveling man, but not so with the crowd of alarmed guests. They were determined that the judge had been assassinated by some Anarchist, and were doing their best to kick the door in with their force foot. When the door was finally opened and matter explained the motley crowd realized their lack of judgment and beat a booze retreat. But it was an hour before everyone was in his own room. The embarrassment caused some to get confused and enter the wrong apartment, causing painful screams of modesty in all parts of the hotel.
A young lady from Montmouth who visited the family of her uncle on La Salle Avenue amused the neighborhood and several shoppers like wise while in a somnambolic state. The uncle and munt left the city one evening to be gone over night, leaving the house and her two cousins with the servants in the house. Fearing that burglars might enter, the three cousins decided to sleep in one bed. They were quite timorous, andots were cast for place, and it fell to the visitor to sleep in front. For better protection windows were matted down and nets quietly placed within easy reach at the head if the last. All went well until shortly after oclock, when the visiting coats spring out of bed, seized the maillet and attacked the dressing room in the corner of the room in a most savage manner.
"Ive got him! Ive got him!" Come on girls, I've got him! she screamed, and with such word she brought down the crowded mallet with disastrous effect. Smash went a perfume case and crumb went the mirror, while the two girls in bed lent their voices to the din in wild alarm. It was all over in five minutes, but in less time than that the neighored was arraised, and a few minutes later two officers arrived. It was soon spilled that Amy had had a nightmare, and the neighborhood resumed its normal quiet.
GUARD ON A HIGH POST.
A gentleman who is prominent in Grand Army circles created a great disturbance in the little suburban town in which he lives shortly after the national encampment at Columbus by a ridiculous performance in his sleep. He arrived home late Sunday night, and was so tired he could scarcely say "How do you do" to his wife, and he went to sleep as soon as he touched the task." About 10 clock in the morning his wife woke up and was not a little alarmed to find her weary husband gone. After calling him without receiving any reply, she got up and dressed a wrapper went down stairs. The trout door closed open and she went out on the walk.
"Post No. 54, and all's well." Grant has captured Vicksburg, and the Johnies are in hell," sang our husband in stentham tenes from some fifty perches. It was bright moonlight, and gluing out a little further she looked up, and there, on the ridge of the roof, was her husband. Back and forth he paused with measured tread, arrayed in his night shirt and an old cartridge belt and knapsack, with a gorgeous chapcan on his head and a musket on his shoulder. At regular intervals he sang out a doggered rhyme. It is needless to say she was alarmed. She coaxed him and called for him to come down, but he was proof to illustration.

Past No. 54, and all’s well: Grant has capured Vicksburg and the Johnsons are in hell! sang out her husband in stentoran tenes from some lofty perch. It was bright moonlight, and going out a little farther she looked up, and there, on the ridge of the roof, was her husband. Back and forth he paused with measured tremend, arrayed in his night shirt and an old cartridge belt and knap-sack, with a gorgeous chapeau on his head and a musket on his shoulder. At regular intervals he sang out a doggerel rhythme. It is needless to say she was alarmed. She coaxed him and called for him to come down, but he was proof to all entreaties. The noise woke several of the neighbors, and windows in the adjoining cottages began to go up, and white objects to appear thereat and inquire in alarm what the trouble was.
The wife was fearful lost her husband should walk off the end of the roof and troak his neck. A score of neighbors and friends had soon collected and held council as to the best means of getting the old soldier down. But while thus engaged he disappeared on the opposite side of the roof, and before the horrified spectators could interfere hurried the musket to the ground and then jumped after it. It was a distance of nearly twenty feet, but, strange to say, he was not hurt. The shock awoke him, how ever, and since then he has not been troubled with somnambulism, but when he goes away to Grand Army doings now his wife goes with him.—Chicago Times.
"Are your parents at home?" asked a gentleman of a young woman who responded to his knock on the door of a cabin down in Georgia.
"My parent mother is, but my parent father are not," was the unexpected reply, given in a comically precise and mincing manner.

Intricacies of Our Language.
Our French friend who comes in and sits on the corner of our desk and reads our exchanges says he cannot get the hang of the English language. "Look at zia," he says. "Here is one story about a boy. It says: 'His mother kissed him and he kissed her back.' What for he kissed her back! And here is one sentence worse and worse: 'He went fishing and his mother whipped him on his return.' My, my! Zat is such a funny language!"—Washington Post.
A century ago the law of Maine obliged a husband to pay all the dabbs of his bride in case she brought him any property. As outer clothing was legal property which could be taken for debt, an unfortunate couple who were deeply in love resorted to the experiment of marrying while the bride was old only in her sixth clothes.
