when their

place and got him to visit them. , Since
that time their actions have become gen
erally known, and erowds of men and wo
men havo gone to see them. Some fifty
or a hundred persons ajre there every
night, and tbey say it is quite entertain
ing to witness their performances. They
are perfectly sane during the day; but at
the approach of uight they become fren
zied and uncontrollable, performing feats
that the best acrobats could hardly per
form, bcalmg the bouse, they

txo, .- , v -!
apparently with perfect ease and impu
nity, uttering at the same time the most
hideous and frenzied screams. Very fre
quently they take something like fits, or
spasms, and fall perfectly stiff; but it
they chance to be on the house-top, they
never fall off, however near the caves they
may be. . ' They are aged respectively
sixteen and eighteen . years. And . are
both rather small, being below the me
dium height. During the day, at which
time they are perfectly sane, they seem
to be rather modest and reserved, but will
converse freely with any one. They are
fond of music, and play upon the dulci
mer. The spell comes upon both at or
near the same time, generally between
sundown and dark, and first manifests it
self by both of them breaking into a run.
They always run north, in the direction
of the house of an old lady, who, . they
say, has been
PRACTICING WITCHCRAFT UPON THEM.
TLey say she has' recently put harder

connected with them. .They catch , and
eat all the flies they can get hold of, until
nausea is produced, when they vomit at
the same time. NVhat one does, the.
other is doing. Their gestures are alike
and simultaneous. Tbey seem to be both
moved by one controlling power. " You
can imagine the excitement when I tell
you that, since I began to write, nearly
fifty people have passed "through our lit
tle village to see the girls."

The Vampire Superstition. An
extraordinary story is reported from
Prussian Poland. It appearcs ' that
among the Poles -and Iluogarions the
myth of vampires still finds credence. A
couutry fquire at .Roslasin, in Posen,
died some months ago, his death being
speedily followed bythat of his eldest
son, and the dangerous illness of .his
relatives, all of which cases occuried as
suddenly as they seemed unaccountable.
lhe deceased was at once suspected ot
g a vampire, rising from his grave
and sucking the blood of his surviving
friends. To prevent farther mischief,
his second Ron determined to choD off
the corpse's head, for which enterprise
he obtained the assistance ol some equal
ly superstitious peasants, at a very high
price. The head was to be laid with
the feet, while an assistant collected the
blood diircinsr from the neck in a vessel
to sive to the relatives to drink. : The
rlpfflwa delaved bv the interference ot
j - y . ..
ih nrish nnest.-but was in tne ena
effected at night, not, however with'
out ' an unasked ' witness. T lhe- ease
is now before the Prussian Court of ap
peals.' The ' local court had sentenced
the desecrators of the churchyard to three
months' imprisonment, and it seems like
ly jhat they will have to pay that penalty
for their superstition. . - . "v" !'
A Plea for. Thosk Who Sleep in
the Morning. The fact is, that as life
becomes more consecrated,' and its pur
suits more eager, short sleep and early rrs
ing become impossible.' -We fake more
sleep than our ancestors, and we take more
because we want more. ' Six hours sleep
Will do very well for a plowman or brick
laver, or any other man who has no other
exhaustion than that; produced by manual
labor, and the sooner he takes it after his
labor is over the better; but for a man
whose labor is mental, the stress of work
is on his brain and nervous system, and
he who is tired in the evening with a day
of mental application, for hlrri neither early
to bed'nor eaH v to rise is wholesome. 1 He
needs lettins down to the level of repose.
The longer interval between the aotive use
of the brain and his retirement o bed, the
r.fp hie nhencaofaieen and refreshment.
To hitu an hour after midnight is probably
as good as two hour? before, it,, ana, even
then, bis sleep will not so completely and
quickly restore him as it prill his neighbor,
who ie physically tirade He must not ooly
go to 4ed later, but lie longer. , .liS best
sleep probably, is Jn , the early Jnorniirg
' hours', when all the nervous excitement
has passed entirely awjr, "Ue is u ib-
doctors, lessi babies, bigger Bunker Hill
monuments,, smaller self, esteem, larger
national debt, richer shoddy, and petro
leum aristocrats, larger eagles and buffa
loes, more Mormons, and more Star
Spangled banners than the natives of
the Sandwich Islands and New Jersey
combined. .
-The copartnership started in 1776 with
13 (which, kneadlcss to say, is a baker's
dozen) States. - The - rest have, been
taken in since. The Southern States
considered themselves taken tn consider
ably, if any dependence can be plaoed in
the statement of Jeff Davis, a celebrated
Historian and a -native of Connecticut by
his first wife. - .... . .: .
' The' ' inhabitants reside principally in
brown stone houses, and ; depend, to a
great extent, for subsistence on eating
and drinking. They cat pumpkin, pie
and tobacco, and drink . Bourbon and
"Jersey Litcnin.V The climate is tem
perate, which speaks volumes for the
extraordinary exertions ot John B.
Gough. j - , -. ;.'.,
The principal State is called Massa
chusetts. This State derived its name
from ' the - following" curious incident:
Several yecrs ago a colored African slave
of the Negro persuasion cultivated the
tobacco plant in the vicinity of Boston.
One day, as one of the Puritans was
passing the slave, he asked the contra
band if he used tobacco. " ;
"No, sar," replied Sambo, "I hoes it,'
but Juassa chetvs it. !.,....'
John Quincy Adams was so sensibly
struck with the originality of the idea
that he immediately proposed to the
"selectmen" that they should choose it
for the name of that State.
' Boston, its principal village, is univer
sally known as the "Hub" of the Uni
verse; around which all creation revolves.

those inaccessible depths alone that the
treasure of the sea is hidden. There is
untold wealth diffused throughout the
immensity of its waters, as secure from
human avarice as if it were in the abysses
which plummet never sounded. Its

The fact that it is everywhere makes it '

certain . French chemists demonstrated
that sea-water contains an appreciable
amount of silver. They decided that
if it is equally distributed, there muBt be
at least two million tons of the precious '
metal in the whole ocean, or more thsn
has ever been dug from the earth. And
experiments made at widely distant
points, prove that the metal is thus uni
formly diffused. The water of the Paoifi c,
off the coast of Chili, as analysed by an
English chemist; gives the same result as
the Frenchman had obtained from the
waters of the British Channel.
