the ocean, he is at once approached with
offers to assist him in liis search. The
name o f the port to which he wants to go
being elicited, the “ runners’ ’ will at once
compete with each other for the honor of
introducing him to the agent from whom
he can obtain “ the best and cheapest pas
sage.” The man is at once dragged off,
perplexed, but somewhat tempted by the
offer o f a cheaper fare than that which be
had been led to expect, to the steamship
office where the “ runner” who has him in
charge can obtain the largest commission
upon the purchase o f his ticket.
“ There isn’ t Tialf as much money in
this business now that there was a few
years ag o,” said a veteran runner recently.
“ W e used to get #8 commission on each
ticket across. N o w the rates are down to
utmost nothing, and the companies will
allow us only from
to $5. Then when
several fellows get around a man, o f
course the one who w ill offer the passen
ger the most reduction off his ticket gets
him, but that reduction, o f course, bus to
come out o f our commission.”
“ Do you depend entirely upon chance
in the passengers you catch?”
“ N ot altogether. Some o f us who have
made a business o f the thing have agents
o f our own in other cities and out west,
who advise us when a party is coining to
N e w Y o rk to go across. Then we make
it a point to meet the passengers and ar
range w ith them to buy their tickets.”
“ llo w do you tell by the look o f a man
whether he may prove a customer?”
“ I t ’s easy enough,” said the veteran,
“ to spot a stranger, and easier still to tell
whether he is German, Swedish or Irish.
Then if you can speak to him in his own
language the probability is that you are
all right. If not, it ’s easy enough to back
out. Sometimes I ’ ve spoken to a man
entirely on spec,’ and struck a first clast
passenger. O f course, the higher grade
passenger you get, the more commission
there is off his ticket for you.”
A form er runner, who is now engaged
in other business, was asked if the steam
ship companies gave special commissions
to favored men.
“ Oh, no,” said be, “ any steamshipcom-
pany w ill give you a commission if you
take them a passenger, it makes hardly
any difference who you are. I sometimes
earn a few (lollurs that w a y yet, and fre
quently oblige a friend by obtaining a
ticket f*»r him at the discount of my com
mission. Last summer when I made u
trip across myself, I got another friend to
buy my ticket ami saved
on it.”
Another ex-runner said that there were
very few men who made a permanent
business o f picking up passengers now.
Lik e himself, a good many were on the
lookout for commissions when travel was
brisk, as in the summer season, or when
they hadn’ t anything else to do. But the
commissions were small now, the com
petition was keen, and those who had
made a business o f it had mostly suc-
ceeded in establishing little offices o f their
own.— N ew York Commercial Advertiser.

What form the m ovement«of the somnam
bulist may take is governed to a great degree
by impression» received by the subject, but
io a greater degree, perhaps, by some govern
ing idea whi«*h has been aw-akened by what*
ever set the centers for movement« in opera
tion. Sleep walkers differ inark«^lly among
themselves as to the effect upon them o f these
two sets of conditions. Home can be influ
enced ill any d«*.»ir«d direction by suggestions
conveyed by word«, movements or sensa
tions coniinuiiicute<l by impressions made
ujxjii the sense of touch. Others disregard
such impressions—the avenues o f which
seem t«> 1«* closed—and are governed exclu
sively by soinii lixed ¡«lea. The previous
know ledge o f somnambulists as to localities
has much to do w ith the remarkable feats
they are known to have performed. In a
strange locality the walking on the ridge
pole of a house or along the brink o f a preci
pice is not, by any means, as safe as some
have believed. The occurrence, within the
past year, of several fatal accidents to such
sleepers proves that they have no magical
power o f finding safety w here others en
counter danger. This idea of the marvelous
safety of sleep walkers mast lie i>e aban
doned. I f this is thoroughly understood it
is likely that better care w ill l»e taken to
guard the safety of those known to l»e sub
jects of what must l»e considered a disease.
Although the actions of the sleep walker
seem t«j be to some degree at least under the
control of th*’ will, it is very apparent from
th*- foregoing considerations that they are
to be considered as almost entirely aut<»-
matic. Iu ordinary dreams the will is without
power to control even the imaginary acts of
the dreamer. In somnambulism there are
real muscular actions udded to the ordinary
dream.
Hence it is that thefts or other
unlawful acts may result from the abiioriual
condition, and the sleep walker should not
be held morally or criminally respon.»ible for
Bu«’h occurances. No one should be held re
sponsible for uu act of the imagination, a
homicide dreamed to have been {perpetrated
for example.
The real action of the som
nambulist is of the same nature, so fur as re-
sponsibility is concerned, as the peculiar
freaks of the imagination which tuku {»lace
iu an ordinary dream.
DIFFERENT CONDITIONS.
Some authors, especially those o f an early
date, have evidently classed together as
cases of somnambulism a number of distinctly
different conditions.
Homo instances of
masked epilepsy, for instance, have been thus
iraprojierly classified. The so called ‘«loul»le
consciousness” is of this variety. “ This con
sists in the individual recollecting during the
paroxysms circumstances which occurred in
a former attack, though there was no remem
brance o f them during the interval.” A
number of such cages have been placed ou
record, and their close relationship to epi
lepsy is now beyond question. In true som
nambulism there is no recollection of what
has taken {»lace during an attack, either in
the walking condition or in subsequent at
tacks.
In the so culled “ mesmeric sleep,” or
hypnotism, the condition o f the brain is
doubtless very similar to that which is ¡pres
ent in natural somnambulism. The intellec
tual departments seem, however, to be in a
condition more nearly approaching that pres
ent when the w hole brain is awake. It is
ini{P0ssible to state what the real condition of
the brain is in somnambulism. It is most
likely that there is some kind of disturbance
in the amount of blood sent to different parts
o f the organ o f miiui.
To expluiu the mesmeric phenomena it ha«
been thought that gome one or several parts
of the brain are thrown out o f their ordinary
relations with otherparts by the “ passes” and
other manipulations of the mesmerizer. It
is, perhaps, by gradually but very completely
exhausting the irritability of some ¡parts that
this is brought about Then, it is supposed,
those parts first affected exert an inhibiting
influence over other parts, until only a sinuli
part of the nervous centers is capable o f re
sen d in g to any kind of an impression, lienee
it has been possible for complete anasthesia
to be produced in this way—so complete that
limbs have Ipeeu amputated and other grave
surgical operations have been performed
without other means o f lessening or prevent

REAL CLAIRVOYANCE.
The testimony in favor o f subject* in this
artificial somnambulism lieing able—some «>f
them—to see what is going or. at u distance,
to read scaled letter?», and to hear a conversa
tion taking place several miles away, see ms
to be so conclusive that man.' distinguished
scholars, physicians and philosophers are firm
believers in clairvoyance ami clairaudience.
It is certain, at all events, that in natural as
well as in artificial somnambulism the senses
become much inure acute than in the normal
condition.
As all the s|»ecial senses are
simply modifications and higher devel«»p-
ments o f the sense of tout h, it may not l>e so
very unreasonable to think that, inulor cer
tain abnormal conditions, this fundamental
ecus«* may lieconie exalted -hypenv»th*»ri«’ —
to such a degree
to *aable it to take the
place of sight «pr hearing. In the \ lind, us is
well know n. this sense und that of hearing
both become givui ly exalted. They can not
take the place of the lost vision, (put they
make a nearer approach to d«»ing so than
couUl have been ex *ecte«l by any one w ho
has not witnessed t he {phenomena o f leading,
sewing and the carrying on o f mechanical
truth's by tlu* blin i.
The «muses e f s ix*!» w alking are to lie found
in disturbances« f health, imligestion, fevers,
ami over excitement rather than to any «lia-
bolicul ageiuw. Th*»se who have inherited
an over sousi.ivc nervous organization are
most liable to liec«>me somnambulic. Tlu*se

moderate doses. A large quantity
