A carious tact about tt&u Francisco
is that it is about half way along a
line runping from the eastermost point
of land to the WfStcrmost owned by
the coined States. By drawing a line
from tbs western end of the Aleutian
Maoris to the eastern end of Maine,
it will be found that the Golden Gate
on the Pacific is in abont the middle
of it.
The New York Giaphic tells abont
a fine dinner for eighteen persons, at
which “the center ot the table was
filled by a large, low glass receptacle
home eight feet long, which was im
beded in moss and ferns, and in which
swam gold fish and terrapin, in the
middle rose a fountain whose spray
reached almost to the chandelier. At
each lady’s plate was a uniqnely bean
titnl bequet— a palm fern forming the
background for a splendid bunch ot
La France roses. Each place was
designated as belonging to a guest by
an ivory taolet, on which the name
was embossed in silver. The table
was ornamented with many rare sreas
urea of silver and china. Eiob salt
cellar was a silver awan, and tu each
was an ‘apostle apron,’ Mrs
being the fortunate possessor of a set
to those beautiful examples of the
■■kid ot silversmiths of the middle
ages. Tankards three or four hundred
years old ornamented the occaei -a.
and a Nnrembnig drinking horn of a

A New International Language.

a* nations of he world have been knit
closer and closer together. Leibnitz
tried the task of formulating such a lau
guage in the latter part of the seven
teenth century, but gave it up in de
spair. Bishop Wilkins, Abbe Sicard,
Bachmeier and MezZofanti have at in
tervals continued to rekindle the world
in interest in the scheme. Leibnitz,
Bachmeier, and Mezzofan’i all hailed
from Germany, and from the same
philological nation comes the latest
apo'tb, the inventor of Tolapnk.
v olapuk (pronoonced folapiek) is
an attempt to invent an international
language drawn in part from all civil
ized tongues. Its grammar is almost
nothing, consisting in a few simple
rales which have no exceptions or ir
regularities and which, when printed,
makes a small four page leaflet. The
vocabulary embraces now only a few
thousand words, those of most com
mon use, but is steadily growing, In
terest in this country hae hardly been
awakened as yet, but in Italy, there
are already seven Yolapuk societies
and others in Spain, Franee, Germany,
Austria and lower Russia, numbering
120 in all. Pamphlet has followed
pamplet, lecture has succeeded lecture,
and nine periodicals are published in
Xolapnk exclusively. The inventor is

has taken advantage of his retirement

A Twelve Xear Nap.
A Winona (Minn ) despatch to an
exohaßgs says: Hetman Harms of
Utios, near this place, who has attract*
ed considerable attention throughout
the country by reason of his extended
sleep, being termed the Minnesota
Marvel,” has at last awakened from
his somnolent state which has extend*
ed over a period of nearly twelve years.
He came from Hanover, Germany, and
with bis family settled in St. Charles,
Minn., in 1869. He had previously
been troubled with fits of somnolency,
but in the snmmer of 1875 the strange
disease took a firm hold npon him,
and he lost consciousness and remain
ed in that state, awakening for two or
three miuutes at intervals and partak
ing of the lightest kind of nourisb*
rnent and theu falling to Bleep again.
In December, 1882, he awoke to fall
consciousness, and after recuperating
his lost energies wont to work as if
nothing had happened. All went well
with him until August, 1883, when
he was bu id nly taken sleepy wh.le
carrytug a cup of tea to his wife, who
was sick in bed. H** fell to the floor
unconscious, and remained ever since
in a deep slumber, awakening only at
brief intervals as before, between the
boars ot 7 and 11 a. in., uutil his final
awakening this week.
When first attacked by ih's strange
disease Hanns was about thirty eight
years old and in apparent perfect
Ueaitb, weighing 180 pounds. But
he is now bu In tie more tuan a skele
ton. weighing scircely sixty pounds,
and whbn he first awoke his hair and
beard weie long and straggling. A
canons lecture of his illness wts that
neither snouts nor blows awakened him,
and strong electric batteries were up
plied, but with no avail, the only effect
being to cause a slight contraction
of the mnssles. His case baffled the
skill of physicians, who uuited in the
opinion that the excessive nse of qui
nine undoubtedly tended to aggregate
the complaint.
A correspondent visited him Feb
15 and found him sitting in a chair
reading German newspapers. He
appeared rational. He eutertained san
guine hopes that he would be able to
be about again by warm weather. Mr
and Mrs. Harms have five children,
the eldest ot whom, a boy about nine
teen, has furnished almost the sole
support of the family by his daily la
bor, the remaining four children Do
ing quite small. The family have
lived in utica about a year and a half,
daring which time Haims has been
visited by hundreds of people, who
came from all parts of the country.
Strong hopes are now eutertained of
his ultimate complete recovery.
Daring the passage of a merchant
vessel from Plymouth, Bngland, to
Groeningen, Zealand, recently, a pig
eon fell exhausted on the bridge of
the vessel. The captain carefully fed
and tended the bird and it became
quite at home. When the captain
landed on reaching the port the b>rd
flew aear him wherever he went, and
even entered a coffee house with him.
