The primary cause of wakefulness is an increase in the quantity of blood circulating in the brain ; hence, any condition or cause capable of induc ing this state of the cerebral circu lation may give rise to it. As these causes are more or less under the control of the individual, it is impor tant they should be generally known. 1. Excessive and long-continued intellectual action, or powerful men tal emotions. 2. Those positions of the body which tend to impede the flow of blood from the brain, and at the same time, do not obstruct its passage to the brain. Many physicians have noticed the connection existing be tween bodily position and wakeful ness. It is evident that the recum bent position is more conducive to a state of congestion of the brain than the erect or semi-erect. Dr. Forbes Winslow, Dr. Hammond, and sever al other physicians have noticed an increase in the number and intensi ty of hallucinations of insane pa tients, or persons suffering from de lirium tremens, as soon as they as sume ihe recumbent position. These patients have been found to sleep quietly for some time in an arm chair, but to be annoyed by halluci nations as soon as they lie down. 3. Certain substances used as medicine or food. The chief agents of this class are alcohol, tea—espec ally strong green tea—cofTee, opi um in small doses is often especially potent in inducing wakefulness. A single dose of half a grain has been known to keep a patient awake for three consecutive nights. All the so-called narcotics, in small doses, induce wakefulness rather than sleep. 4. To the above Dr. Hammond adds a fourth exciting cause of in somnia, namely, functional derange ments ot certain organs of die body, whereby an increase in the amount of blood in the brain is produced. As, however, such cases as these are beyond die control of the sufferer, we need not discuss them here. In all those eases of wakefulness de pendent upon severe and long con tinuous mental exertion—and these are the cases to which we especially wish to draw the attention of our readers—all means of relief will be utterly useless until the patient con sents to give his brain entire relaxa tion for a time. Whenever it is pos sible, a course of travel through a romantic country, or a visit to the seaside, should he regarded ns im peralive. An early dinner, follow ed by a hearty supper of plain and nutritious dishes, is preferable to a heavy, late dinner; and a glass or two of good wine at both meals, or a glass of good whisky or brandy and water after supper, may often be taken with advantage. The val ue of physical exercise—and espe cially riding—in the open air, can scarcely he over estimated, and should be carried on to the point of incipient fatigue. A shower-bath in the morning, arid a warm bath be fore retiring to rest, are useful aux iliaries; a somewhat high and not too soft a pillow should be used; and, if the feet are very cold, a hot water bottle should be placed at the foot ot the bed. If the preceding means—all or most of which the pa tient can try for himself—fail, re course should be had at once to pro fessional advice. If we had been asked a couple of years ago what was the most potent agent in the treatment of wakefulness, we should have answered, without hesitation, bromideof potassium. There is now reason to believe, from the research es ot Dr. Clouston, that a combina tion of this salt with tincture of In dian hemp, in the proportion of half a drachm of the salt to a drachm of the tincture, is more potent in allay ing nervous excitement in cases of insanity, and probably generally, than the bromide alone, even in a far larger dose. The most power ful and irresistible of all sleep pro moters is, however, the new remedy known as hydrate of chloral, and which, it is stated, has been prescrib ed successfully, and without a sin gle accident, in more than 100,000 cases in this country. — Once a Week. The bright spots of a man’s life are few enough without blotting any out; and since, for a moment of mirth, we have on hour of sadness, it’we re a sorry policy to diminish die few rays that illume our cheq uered existence. Life is an April day—sunshine.and showers. The heart, like the earth, would cease to yield good fruit, were it not some times watered with the tears of sen sibility ; and the fruit would be worthless but for the sunshine of smiles.— Age. Grapes arc so plenty in lowa that they sell for three cents a bushel. A Romance in a Gypsy Camp. — About a week ago, m the South part of Bloomington, Ohio, in the timber, were camped two wagon loads of gypsies, about sixteen in number. Among them, says a local paper, was a beautiful gill neatly at tired in gypsy costume, with black flowing tresses. Our information is from her mother, and it can be re lied upon as being coriect. The party lived in Zanesville, Ohio, and a young man ot that place had be come enamored of this young girl, and sought her hand in marriage, which the mother objected to, and in company with this parly was traveling io the Far West for the purpose of getting away trom this young man. Be had received the sympathy of her step father, whom the mother refused to live with. The story is that the young girl is an heiress and the young man is in rather poor circumstances, and hence the objection. The young man and his associate made their appearance at the company ground at Bloomington, and sought to force the girl to accompany him. Tiie mother interfered and a war of words ensued. A proposition was made that tl the mother would agree in writing that when the lover had acquired some means lie should have the prize, he would not give her further trouble. This she refused to agree to. The girl was inclined to go, but her parent would not al low her to do so. The young man drew a knife and the mother a pistol, and were about to engage in mor tal combat, when the daughter sprang between them. The pistol was snapped twice, but failed to go ofL The lover and step-lather lett immediately, and nothing more of interest transpired at that time. The mother said they had recently tried to get her child away, and that she would shoot them the next time with out saying a word. How a Hackman was Too Much fora Boston Clergymen. —liev. Mr. F , of Boston, who had ac cepted an invitation to preach on a. certain Sunday last winter, was de layed until the last moment, and did not arrive in the town until late in the morning of the day on which he was to preach. The Saturday Evening Gazelle says : “He hastened to the clerk of the hotel and requested him to procure a carriage for him, which was com plied with, and he was soon driven to the church, and got there with scarcely a moment to spare. He stepped Irom the conveyance, and hastened up the aisle, when, to his gteat surprise, he lieatd a suppress ed littering arid a buzz of astonish ment lor which he could not account, until, chancing to hear a so >tslep behind him, he turn :d and beheld the cause. The coachman, muffled to the chin, with a fur cap on his bead, a whip under his arm, and a pair of cavalry hoots on his feet, had followed him into the church. Rev. Mr’ F , was about loatl dress him, when Jehu exclaimed : ‘Ye ain’t paid me. 1 want my fare.’ The worthy minister, greatly mor tified, tried to explain to him that he had requested the hotel clerk to set tle with him. ‘O, yes,’ returned the hackman, ‘I dessay. That won’t wash. Cash on delivery is my terms. I don’t know you. I druv a feller with a while necktie down to the cars last week, and he give me the slip and 1 ain’t seen him since, and that lime I made up my mind that there warn’l no virtue in white neckties ; so cash up.’ It was growing very embarrassing, when Hon. Richard Warren, a prominent member of the congregation, who was well acquainted with Mr. F. hastened forward and settled the bill, whereupon Joint retreated chuckling, and muttering to himself, “Too much for white neckties that time !” Drinking in Europe. —‘Travel ler’ writes: “I have been now some six weeks in Austria, a country much further North than New England. Wine—about as strong as the Bur gundy and claret used in the United States—is cheaper here than whisky in America. Evetybody drinks it. But even in gardens and such places, I have not seen more than two or three intoxicated people. And at the hotels and elsewhere, where I have met persons of the higher class es, I notice* that most drink their wine mixed with water, and that those who drink it pure rarely ex ceed a glass or two ; in short, tha* is nowhere the fashion to use it in ex cess. "Has there ever been a heavier accusation brought against our peo ple than the assertion that Ameri cans have so little self-control that their only safeguard against drinking is total abstinence ?” H. I. K. is booked for one of tho grand entres in Atlanta on Monday, Scarcity of Women. —A lonely j pioneer writes as follows from La Coma, Wyoming: *i sincerely wish that many hun dreds of old maids and widows who cannot get husbands at home would come out here, where they could speedily get a choice of good, hon est, hard working men, who could make them comfortable and inde pendent. There are, I reaily think, five men here for one woman.” Edit oilal Correspondencs. Pli.aski House, Savannah, Ga., October 4tb, 1871. To-day is a rainy day. “It i-- dark and sad and dreary” without, so I will not bo able to go in quest cf horns from this dear old city to-day, 1 will endeavor to regale our readers with tbopast—not the long gone and mouldering past, b ;• the recent past, yet fresh in memory dear. Ye: terday, through the courtesy of Major Huff, I was shown through the Grounds o( the coming State Fair which j which is to be held ;.t Macon one week, beginning with Monday, October Slid. | The huge advert:.- moot appearing in J to-day’s paper is indeed no blow. To rue who has visited the grounds and witnessed the. ic.-gnificent preparations ’or the coming Exposition, the adver- tisement seems rather to fall short o! what really may be expected. The coming Fair at Macon will be at tar superior to over crowded ill-managed concern of two years ago as I'ght to darkness. Mr. Huff, is a man that knows what will please the people, and with a liberal hand .has provided for the great occasion. If any person visiting the present Fair is not satisfied, Mayor Huff, agrees to refund his expenses, and will go halves with him. The terraced banks of the liver for tho convenience ot tiro speciaiors during the regatta, suppasses anything wo have seen North or South. Central Park not excepted. Wo append below a description of the grounds and buildings, copied from one of the local papers. With the omission of the beautiful river scenery, and the new cottage being now in progress of completion, especially for tho use of news paper correspondents, we believe the sketch is pretty nearly complete. We are in earnest when wo advise every one of our readers to go to Macon, and il they should find any body that don’t read our papers, (which of course is doubtful,) they ought to carry them too. The Fair is bound to he one of the graud ost ever witnessrd The Grand Entrance, Presents a facade of one hundred feet, striking in conception, and bold in out line. The design is irregular, with the principal or "carriage gate,” in the cen tre twenty feet wide, Hanked on each side by lofty towers, lising to a height of sixty feet, and terminating in a cur ved roof. A massive semicirelcd arch connects these towers together over the entrance, handsomely decorated with panels, cornices, biackets, spandrels, Ac., while from the appex of the arch, rises a beautiful flag-staff. The small gates for the use of “pedestrians,” are seven feet wide, placed one on either side of the •‘carriage gate,’’ and at tho base of the towels, through which an arch-way is formed. Adjoining these are two largo offices, each sixteen by twenty-four leet, and a series of smaller ones fjr ticket offices, &e. The design of the towers is square, and the elevation of each side, are alike, through the lower section. The lower sections are crowned with a pro acting cornice, supported on heavy brackets, while at tlm base of the lower sectiou, large brackets seem to net as a kind of flying buttress, against the pi lasters upon the corners, terminating in brackets again at the top, and finally crowned with a cornice. In a panel over the carriage gate at the top, will be the date, IS7I, and just beneath it, “Central City Park,” while in a panel on the towers over each small gate, arc tho mottos, Science, Art, and immedi ately in the centre over the entrance Ag riculture. These central towers, standing like “giant sentinels” over the entrance to tho “elysian groves,” give increased dignity to the design, and so diversi fies its outline, that when viewed no far distant, as to take tho whole of the figure in the eye at one coup d'anl, presents a picture rare and faultless, and a struc ture both “grand" and appropria’C. The first building upon the light after entering, is tho Machinery Ilall, Which is a single story building, 210 feet lon«, and 50 loot wide, erected upon a solid foundation of brick, and substan tially constructed throughout. It b well lighted by glass windows, and am ply provided with doors of largo dimen sions. Tho building is covered in the perpendicular style, having projecting cornices and ornamented gables, which givo it a really fine appcaianoe; though of less pretension than some ofitsneigh bors. A lino if shafting will extend the wholo length, with all nectssary pulleys and engines to drive il, ready for the use of the, exhili ors. The next building is tho Dining Unit, Also a single stoiy building 150 foot long, and 50 feet wide, and 18 feet high. This structure is also intended for a Dancing Hall, And has a smoothly dressed floor, and a clear story. Splendid preparations for light and ventillations are made, and an elcva’ed gallery for tho orchostfa. The external covering is iu the per- Ho. 24. pcndicular sty •, ao-l the cornices .. f the eaves and -rallies, quite ornate. All tlie j doers and windows will he protected on the exterior, ! y hanging ho ds and can ! "P*es. adding, not only to the comfort, j hut to the architectural bounty. Coin i inodioiis kitchens will he built adjoin-, i hig, and all tilings necessary for a Grand !Di iing, or Banquet Ha’.!. Near one j end, is erected a -Ladies Cottage” con i' tainitig two looms each 14x18 Sect, with : Ilall between, and a commodious toilet jor boudoir. It is built in the pointed | style- having ornamented gables, ter ! minating in linials and tracery. A ve | rauda extending across the front, com-. ' i h tes the description, and a more cosy i etreat can scarcely he imagined, as it ; seems to nestle down beneath the braeli csof the Sturdy oaks that surround it. Pas-ing on, and discovciing a little to tlu- il..ht, we come upon the- Sa loon. A building 35x65 feet, sranding I out conspicuously, yet beautiful in its u .me, iiii!e ornate in its construction, and much autuired. Litre the others, it is covered in the pcrpcudieular style, overhanging hoods over doors ~nd windows, and ornamented gables, nn.i the whole artistiyally painted in parti colors. \Yc now come to the “Floral Hall,’ a bailoing quite irregular in its plan, with a dimension over all, of 18S feet by 72 feet, two and tin i- stories high. The principal facade is 101 feet, and is sufficiently modest fur a private dwelling, yet bold and striking in outline Forty b-ur feet in the centre, projects twelve met, and (j double story portico extends across it. This central building is threa stories high, and the upper story is light ed from the roof, and designed (or a picture gallery. On each rear corner is erected pavillions 24 feet square pr»jec ing ten feet each way biy-md the main buiiJing, and carried up three stories high having flat roofs, accessible by easy stairs, and protected by high balhistrade. The rear facade facing the race track is 188 feet, 140 feet of which, is a veran da nine feet wide in each story, affor ding most excellent accommodations for promenade, and to witness the races, from which point, every foot, of the track can lie soon. Four flights of si airs con ducts to the second story, b .iug wide and easy. An open corridor extends through each floor, protected by railing, etc. The outside covering is in the perpendicular style, joints buttoned, tho balconies and cornices biacketed. This building occupies a cential position up on the ground, and from its balconies, verandas and pavillions, can ho seen ev ery object of interest. The "Main Hall'’ Is a building 250x40 feet, two and three stories high, with a four-foot bal cony extending around the entire build ing at each story, affording a most de lightful promenade, and raro 1 mdscape views. This building is covered like those before described, and is very taste fully decorated with cornices by tracery, balcony-hangings, and moulded bolts. An open corridor extends through the centre building, which is three stories high. Wide and commodious stairways are provided in every .part, and the means of ingress and egress afe quite ample. Directly in front of the right wing of the “Alain Ilall,” is the counterpart of the Ladies’ Cottage, Being tho “Head Quarters” of the President and Executive Committe, and like that, it is built in die pointed style, and handsomely decorated rooms. It contains three rooms each 10x18 feet, a wash-room and hall. The Music Pavi/lioti Occupying a central position between the “Main Hall" aud the “Floral Hall,” is a hexagon in design, sufficiently large to accommodate from forty to fifty per formers. The floor is elevated seven feet above the ground, and with a clear story abovo of 1(1 feet. The roof has a projeciton of three feet, supported by brackets disposed at the angles, aud or uaiuoutcd with sawed tracery. The roof curves upward, supporting a dome ten feet in diameter, crowned with a lantern aud golden harp seven feet high. From tho floor to the ground is a heavy moulded base, having three feet projection,steps leading to the plat form, and railing all around, completes this temple of Appolo, and it is believ ed tho most beautiful in the South. The “Graud Stand, or Amphithea tre,” is 300 feet long by 35 feet l.ide two stories high, very substantially built and will accommodate about 6000 peo ple. It will be fully provided with set tees, aud specially arranged for comfort and safety. The foundations are of brick masonry, very heavy ; the roof covered with shingles, and cornices up on the front of an elaborate pattern. This will afford ample opportunity for all to see every inch of The Rare Track, which, in the opinion of all men of judgment in such mattors, is conceded to be the finest track they ever saw. It is exactly one mile having been carefully surveyed and measured, i3 a dead level, and has been covered with a carefully mixed compound of clay aud gravel. The width is sixty feet. The “straights” are each over a quarter, the turns jn6t right, In fact it does a turfman good to look at it. The fences arc substantially put up and neatly paiuted. The quar ters are marked by posts so that accu rate time koepers cau give tho time a each quarter. The Stables are ample, commodious, and built on tlie most approved plan, every convenience for the health and comfort’of the horses being provided. In this department also, the tinfmeu are loud in their praises and give it as their opinion that the track and its accommodations cannot br exceeded "in the United States, aod they are really enthusiastic ou the subi ject.
