She had tin habit of getting up in her rteep and going about the hott at night, after all had retired, always returning to her room, however, without disturb ing the fainilv. On the evening men tioned, the Mr sleep-walker arose about midnight, and with lighted lamp commenced toeXplore the house. In one r.)om was a young man, a friend of her father's who had arrived that evening, and among the cham bers visited was hi "apartment. Tlie door leading into the room Mug un locked, the unconscious young girl with a lamp in her hand, entered the room, and while the visitor was in the aims of .Morphea, gathered lii- clothes, coat, pa-.ts, vest and boots, even to his h it not leaving a gar ment to clothe his frame, and depos ited tiiem all in the kitchen, turning the dish pan over the dud-. Ilerfath er. hearing the noise matte hy the handling of the pan, discovered the Bomnaiuhulh't aim witnessed the sin gular proceeding, and withonrelng detected followed the sleeping girl hack to'ht r room, saw her jiut ont the light, lock the door and retire. C'om pn bending the situation at once, he without notifying his wife, went tl' bed. The yoiing man was called to breakfast next morning. He answer ed the biunmo.i- front tlie closed door, hut the family waited until the break fast got cold, impatient at the length of time it took tjja young man to make his toilet. Mr. -enjoying the joke, and seeing the uucouscWtB cause imi etly seated la the dining-room, could keep in no longer. Going to tlie kitchen he lifted up the dish pan and exhil itcd the wardrobe of the tardy guest. It i uniKcessary to add that an explanation had to be made to the elothless young man up stairs, who lu-ui beeu "Searching in vain for tlie missing garments.

The ulcer was prepared in tlie usual man ner by his phygiran, and a bit of skin nhoipan invli square was taken from the arm of a line healthy negro man aud immediately spread over the ugly ulcer, and tlien carefully dressed and bandaged. The skin traiwplajUon had the desired effect. Healthy granula tion sprang up, and the unsightly ul cer soon healed. A few mouths after wards lie went to hi physician alitl told ill 111 that ever since the sore heal ed the black skin commenced to-pread, and it was increasing. About one third of his arm wa completely ne groed. The doctor himself Is alarmed. The high probability is that the whole skin ot this w hite man w ill liecoine negro. This s a new thing under the sun. It would be rather difficult to exulnln the physiological process w hich takes place to bring about such a skin change at this. The problem is, how can the coloring matter of the skin be so radically changed.'' And how is this pigment change propaga ted? it is certain that the law of ca pillary attraction plays no part in tlie spreading process.

A Ulmstly Sight. The Boston iXat relates tlie fol lowing horror : A strange story, worthy of novel--istic treatment at the lianils of Mar ryatt, comes from Newfoundland. In Chance Xook, a feclnded nook it) that somewhat secluded inland, dwell a little eoinjaiiy ot tiNliernieu, one of whom, who rejoices in the name of llaruaelc Hill, has long been an object of suspicion, on ac ooiint of his unsociable aud hermit like life. His hut was situated re mote from the others, upon a peak overlooking a dangerous reef called Gillicnddy Breakers. These circmn stanees combined to fasten Ujioti Barnacle Bill the suspicion that lie had a penchant for wrecking opera tions, aud after the recent loss on the reef of tho schooner AHAoh, none of the crew of which wereMih sequcntly discovered, dead or alive, it .was determined to-searcli tlie albrementioned hut. Accordingly, a detective having been procured, together with the requisite legal jiajK is, a large deputation made an early call upon Barnacle Bill, ami found that worthy in bed. Inas much as he declined to get up and open tlie door tor his surprise jiarty, they let tliemselves into tlie house, when an appalling sight met their gaxe. l ingers, wrists aud ears, cut ami torn from the bodies of women, evidently to procure the rings aid other jewelry, were strewn around. Two boiled silk dresses were folded beside the bodies. In all, there were nine corpses. The inhuman wrecker, after having been taken into custody, confessed that he took the bodies from the wreck of the Albim and conveyed tltem, on a fisli-banw, to his clilt' before dawn. The news has created the greatest excitement in St. Johns, where the majority of the ill-fated sailors re sided. To He Ax KOITOB. Charleston, In his editorial poem, tells of an old f irmer who made his way Into his sanctum with a runt of a Iwy, who be ing good for uotliing else, tlie firmer thought he would do for an editor. The poet tells the story : The editor sat in his sanctum, and looked the okl man in the eye Then glanced at tlie grinning young hoieful and .mournfully made the reply : "Is your son a small unbound edi tion of Moses and Solomon both? (,'ay-he compass bis spirits With meekness and strangle a natural oath ? Can he do an hour's work In a min ute, and live on a sixpence a wet? Can he courteously talk to an equal and browbeat an impudent dunce!' Can lie keep things In apple pie or der aud do a half doeu at once? Can he press all the springs of knowledge witn quick and rename touch ? And be sure he knows liow much to know, and how not to know too much? Ink's he know how to stir up his virtue, and put a check rein ou bis pride ? Can lie carry a gentleman's man ners within a rbhieros' bide? (.'an he know all. and do all, and be all with elieerfuluess, courage and vim? II so perhaps we can be making an editor outeu 0 him." The farmer stood curiously listen ing,; while wonder his visage o'er spread ; And he said, ".rim, I guess we'll be goiu' ; he's probably out of his head. " - An 1-SiglUh paper suggests three methods of getting rjd of rats : Intro ducing their use as' food, making their skins an article of commerce, or, as a final expedient, iunoculatiiig a number with small-pox and turning them loose to disseminate tlie disease among their kind. It is to he hoped that the first project will be finally abandoned be fore the last is put lu force, as to be obliged to eat nits which liave died of small-pox would be extremely uu pleasant, S. This is wimt a .St. Louis Councilman said when opposition was brought up in that body to extend to Alexis the freedom of the city : 'T say no, sir. Thank God ! we are as unspoiled by withering conventionalities as are our broad and boundless pcreare. Hough they may be so are ourbullalers. Hut they are children otuatur' and of free dom, and their boastful answer to tlie despot and the tyrant is that their bright home is in the setten' sun." A' negro boy of eight has a picture primer to teach him Ills letters. One of the picture's is that of a bull chas ing a boy, which the little darky watches from day to day. gleefully ex claiming, "lie hasn't eotched liim yet.-' According to the cheerful prediction of a learned Hindoo astronomer, a blazing meteor will pass by tlio earth during the coming year, destroying every form of vegetation, and killing millions of people, all in tweiity-four minutes.
