turned our Imckv on thu mythienl oupltol, imd nought employment ut Mo»hor-villc, omong thu agricultural dittricta ofMichignn. During our brief «tay in Chi-tiiigo, my coinpnnlun for tho flrnt time de-vcloped the jM-cullnrltkm of ftHomnumbulint. The excitement iueidont to thuday'H adventurei continuud with him utnight und vcetilizcd hi* drettmtf. Thephouomenou WIIM H novelty to mo And InftttirnUy encourngeil It. Neither of uihnd much ex|»erieiieQ in ('timing ourbread nfter tho Rcripturul ctule, nud theluhorioua life on a farm taxed us Moverely.Upon young Koborts the work was par-ticularly tirduwlw, nud thlH burden, to-gether with the recent excitement ho hadox per ten cud, tended to oggravntn hit*nifutnl eccentricity mutenally.

By day* wo were inseparable, and bynight we lodged in a little bedroom'>pen-iny; into the Hitting room of a large farmhouse. To thin room there was but onewindow, which WAS within a few feet ofthe ground. Wo always went to our Ixultogether, und rarely without engaging inKOIUO cheerful conversation. Ho sudden-ly would my companion fall usleep thatin our conversation tlmro WBM ncareely alull, the only means I had of determiningthat he hud lapsed iulo the land of vividdream-* WHS by nn abrupt change in theMihjwt of the colloquy, or by some imi-tional remark.

A few momentH of silence would fid-low this nemi unemiseioua state, and thenthe Hilertce would bo broken, und hit*words become coherent, though he was•ound iiHleep, Hleeping HO soundly, indeed, that by no ponsible means could hehe awukened until, «H the morning ap-prouched, hi» sleep became spent. Hoy-like, [ had a keen relish for tho entertain-ment \vhk:h the freaks of tho young »om-numbnliMt nitordetl, and naturally I rtiilfor him the wornt pusHildt* thing which Icould do, by replying to his unconscioustalk, tlm* irritating what wan rapidly de-veloping into u timitidy.

At the beginning of hm experience asa Homnnmbultst, \u> confined himself toword*, but these, were BOOH supplementedwith deed*. To mj' surprise ho sudden-ly arose, on*- moonlight ulght, partiallydrotml himself und hefore I could rcal-iz<? h'u movements, HO quick were they,he had thrown up the window sash, andfeet first, darted through tht opening asi iin'>ly as 11 Hjuinel. My toilet wasprobably never arranged more quicklythun then, for only a moment later was 1through tho window and iu hut pursuit.I caught hut n glimpse of my companionus ho disappeared through tho doorwayof a barn located about three liuudredynrdti distant. Hurrying to the barn, myentrance, at tho front door was the signalfor his exit through tho rear, nnd^thenbegan an uneven eliase,. I had boastednot n little of the nimbleuess of my feet,aud on this occasion they were not hand-icapped with shoes and stockings, butthey were no mnteh for the feet of theBlooper. In sixty seconds, possibly ICHS

time i wn» distanced, and with a wiordlaugh made doubly wierd by tho cir-cuinMtnucrs intending it, tho somnambu-had (liKnppeared in the darkness of thethe woods beyond.

Thoroughly alarmed I returned to thohouse, HrouMed tho sleeping family, thohead of which, A Mr. Manning, togetherwith u near neighbor, started with me insearch of my uuconttcloUH companion.We scoured the woods in which ho iiaildisup|>cared. Finally; on the banks ofthe Kallainazoo river, ou, which theaewood* are Ittcntcd, wo found no me of theclothing of tho ml Ming boy. I last on ingto our homo for tout rumen U with whichto f f tg the r'vor for X »e drowuod body,our joyful surprise can only bo ininginodulmn, on interlug the house, the familyreported that the lott hnd been found;that he hud but a moment before enteredhIn room tl rough tho window throughwhich ho h&d taken hit flight a fewhours earlier, nod that ho wa« then in hUbed and in A profound stupor.

En tor lug the lodglog apart ment wefound bbn at the family had roprcicntcd.Tho clothing he had worn during hltun-

"Certainly.a little bath ! You sec I have the fun ofa Hwim and at the tamo time do tho workof a lAundrcstf."

With this explanation the boy lapsedinto silence, closed his eyes, and rcfusodto communicate further. Tho next moru-ing he had "dreamed of enjoying a de-lightful Bwim." In Attempting to ar-rnnge hit toilet, ho mis«od his vest, in thepocket of which he carried A watch Andconsiderable money. In tlu> search forthe last valuubles the routo ho was sup-posed to have taken the night before wastramped over, but without success. Thoplace wtiere we supposed the bath hadbeen taken was ulongnide the highway,and here we believo the missing garmenthad hoen left, and hero WAM picked up atdi)>• break by some lucky ptwter by.

Poiwibly u week had elapsed, andyoung Roberts had become rocoDciled tothe loss of his pro^rty, when one morn-ing, mi turning over a half bushelmeasure, In the bnru through which hehad pn»»cd on thutlrst night** adventure,the vent, watch, money and till werefound. I had turned up tho propertywhore the owner hud unconsciously hidIt.

From thu time of his first wdventurr,tlie tfomnambiiUftt rarely remained in bodan enllie night. Bonreoly did his ht-ndtouch the pillow before ho would boasleep and then up And off. Tho novel-ty wearing off, and confident that hecould take care of himself, we censed tofollow him, mid only learned of his manymovement* by his own reports aftor, giv-en in mo*t graphic style, and always ro-terred to as what ho did "vesterday.",

When in hU somnambulistic state, thefew faculties which he then commandedseemed to lie intensified. Into them hewus capable of concentrating all his men-tal nnd physical strength. When awakehe WUH an indifferent conversationalist:asleep, he often became brilliant. Nat-urally rather clumsy, as a somnambulisthe became as ngita as a chipmunk. Icould measure strength with him by day-light inA uot bo overmatched, by nightI was AS A pigmy to n Titan. When him-self, ho rarely, if ever betrayed hi8 heart'ssecrets; he WAS exceptionally exclusive.Bleep would invariably unlock this men-tal seclusion, and into my cars ho wouldpour his loves and his hates, his sorrowsand joys. At times he WAS jubilant, butgenerally disheartened. In hU callow-nos* he had cherished a tender passionfor a little girl playmate who lived in hisold New York home. Out of sight toher, Roberts wus out of mind, and ut six-teen she had jilted her youthful lover andmarried a proay widower. Tho circum-stances were never mentioned whenawake. 80 deep was his clmgrin, how-ever, when asleep it became tho burdenof his talk. Once ho oven broached thesubject of suicide, saying, "I've made alegitimate use of it long enough. Life Isof no consequence, anyway." I took carethat the ugly weapon wns no longer con-venient to his purpose.

One night, after being in bed possiblya half hour, my companion arose, dress-d, went to the sitting room, lit the lamp

and taking up a book sat down to read.His extraordinary freaks had excited theneighbors, some of whom had expressedtheir desire to see him at his bost. Theywere therefore sent for. As two or threeif them came 111 ing iu, Johnny laid downhis book and began a lively conversation,answering quotations glibly and with a de-

ree of intelligence unequalled by anyone In his presence. Suddenly he ceasedalking, took up a banket of apples whichmd been left on the table hard by him,

And began devouring the ripe fruit withall the rapacity of some semi-famished

enst. A moment later ho seized a pitch-er nnd from it tossed off a quart of wa-er as easily AS at daybreak ho wouldlave quaffed half a glassful. From tho>cdroom I called to him to bring me unpple. He complied by bringing themsket into the room and emptying the

contents over my head, saying, "Thereurc your apples, take one, toko oue." In-Untly he returned to the sitting room,n the centre of which he threw himself|M>n the floor and appeared to la pee in-

to un absolute suspension of all sensibil-ity. Our efforts to arouse him were forseveral minutes without effect. ThenKnddenly he sprang to bis feet, hastenedto a rear door nnd out into A little build-ing used as A farm workshop. Robertswas gone but a moment whon, as sud-denly as ho had jumped from the floor,he burst into the sitting room, holdingin his hands an old army musket. Level-ing it at our lioit, Mr. Maiming, and es-saying a tragic air, ho exclaimed. "Standback, sir 1 Another step And I fire." Ex-cept Mr. Manning, wo wero all paralyz-ed with fright. Wo believed ourselvesat tho mercy of one who was betrayingall tho characteristics of a desperatemadman. Wo heard the quick click oftho weapon's hammer aa it was drawnback, and helplessly and with batedbreath e x i t e d a tradedy, when tho hostcoolly walks noross the room, and justoa ths trigger fell, seiwxl the muxxlo ofthe gun and wrenched it from the sloop-wnlkor's hand, at the same time explain-ing that ho knew tho weapon to bo harmlens, inasmuch as, anticipating such anadventure, ho had * few days beforedrawn out the load And carefully con-cealed the ammunition.

On Another occasion, SOOD alter We hoc)gone to bed, Roberts began mutteringsomething about an attack made on himwhllo in the army by a soldier, armedwith ft knife and erased with rum. Hethen aroso to A sitting povturc, when,by the light of the moon which streamedthrough our Uttlo window, Ihis e^&hpcted at me

tho eyes of a hungry tlgor. I have al-ways noticed that nature has an honestway of compensating ono for any naturalshortcomings. For instance, if poor lis-teners, she endows us, generally,with that garrulity which almost solvesthe mystery of perpotunl motion; if ex-ceptionally ugly, boning the irregularfeatures generally may be found room forexceptional intelligence; for his frailarms she compensates £ coward almostinvariably by giving baa sinewy legs.My legs were thus endowed on the even-ing in question. I slid discreetly to thefoot of tho bed, which had been movedagainst tho wall, and on the back part ofwhich I had been stretching, vaulted onthe footboard, and quickly hustled outof the room, slamming the door just intime to escape A lunge, 'vhlch the som-nAmbulist made ut me with his clenchedfist. Tho door was no sooner fastenedthan my unconscious assailant beganbeating tho wall, making tho loose piecesof mortar rattle down between tho lathand the weather boarding. On tho nightsubsequent to the adventuro just narrat-ed, Roberts said ;

"I mot thu same old drunkard againyesterday. He enme At me with his knifebut I got away with him. I knockedhim down into the cellar. I know hoWAS knocked down tho collar stnir* bo-cause I heard his bones ruttle."

The sleeper had curiously confoundedtho rattling of dried mortar with tho rat-tling of a drunkard'* bone*.

A more conscientious boy, und onomore correct Iu his habits und lungunge,than my young companion, I have nevermet, In his wakeful moments an outliWAS us much a stranger to his lips as tothe llp« of a dfuf mute. lit hiri slcop, oc-casion oily, ho would make tho uir sul-phurous with his profanity. Whcu awakethe only kuowlodgo ho poAHctAod of whatho had done in hi* sleep wus in thu vnguorecollection ot n dream. One dny holooked particularly haggard and com-plained of great fatigue. On the follow-ing night after falling asleep, ho said :

"Yesterday I had a walk of about fif-teen miles."

Ho then detailed his travels, how hohad gone to a railroad station calledJonosville, four miles dUtant; how thoplace "had tho appearance of Sunday, alltho stores and houses Iwing closed;" howho had walked to a neighboring post villAge, And finally how ho had been drivenoil by an ugly dog from a farmer's prem-ises located in an adjoining township.His story was verified subsequently byseveral witnesses who had scon him outhe night in question in the several plac-es ho had named. I left him for a fewdays, and WAS on the farm from whichho had been driven by tho vigilant watchdog. After h\» description of his night'stramp, ho explained that ho was huntingfor me.

Ills malady, for .such it had now bo-come, had assumed alarming symptoms,And we sought by somo means to At leastalleviate the difficulty. We took the pre-cise course, or ruther allowed him to takeIt, that only aggravated tho trouble. Hewent to collego preparatory school, locat-ed at Hlllsdale, Michigan, and straight-way became the one object of interest fortho whole institution. Hi* freaks bo-came daily more eccentric. At one timehe remained in a somnambulistic state forfifty-six hours, during which time he wasa guest at a seminary soiree, and of coursethe cynosure of all eyes. It was duringthis brief period, and while asleep, thatho wrote me a letter in answer to a friend-ly ono which but A few days beforo I hadsent him. It began nnd ended withabuse and was filled up with invective.Only a few days previously, AS DavidAnd Jonathan, wo hod parted, and, sofar as I knew, our friendship was stillfirmly cemented. I was therefore not alittle stunned at the reading of myfriend's vituperation. The writing wason three sides of A sheet of note paperand concluded with : "You need neveranswer this letter. I shall never receiveanything directed in your handwriting.An envelope thus addressed will be re-turned unopened."

On the last page of the sheet ho hadused the cork of his inkstand in blackingthe paper around several lines, represent-ing figure heads moat grotesque. Iu onecorner was & Mephistophelean portrait,done in black ink, ornamented with themythical horns and forked tongue, anddirectly under it the suggestive, not toBay peisonal, inscription in capital letters,"YOU."

Once out of this sleep, the young manlapsed immediately into another, untilfinally, studying began to make insanityappear inevitable." Indeed, his somnam-bulism already had all the characteristicsof insanity—it was insanity. Urged byhis friends he returned to Moshcrville,when, only a few evenings after, he wentto bed AS usual, and in usual spirit*, onlyto wake in the morning in a semi-uncon-scious state. This WAS sometime in Sep-tember. He did not recover his wontedreason until early In Deceufber. Duringthe day he would read and write some,perform A little labor, eat heavily and alltho time act precisely AS ho had doooon hts nightly somnambulistic excur-sions. Retiring to bod he would sink in*to A death-like stupor, from which itwas impossible to arouse him. At length,one morning in December, after havingpasted a night of most profound silence,he awoke, and began life whore ho hadeft it throe months beforo. Ho sat downto writo • letter and dated it in Septem-ber. OD going out into the air, "ho WASamaied at the frigidity of a Septembermorning,11 and it was with the utmostdifficulty that he could be persuaded fin-ally that for three months the world hadbeon moving on by him unheeded, thatwhile ho had slept, fall had glided intoearly winter, that indeed bo was a quar-ter of a year older than whon he lostwent to sloop.

How Playing-cards are KAde.

AN ACCOUHT OK THK MODE OF MANU-FACTURE, K? AN Exi'KBT.

A mauufactnrer of playing-cardsWAS asked where the most cards wcromade and what becomes of them. Hesaid: "I have often wondered, whenthinking of the vast number of packs ofcards manufactured in all parts of theworld, what became of them all, just asthe old woman was at loss to know whatbecame of all the pins. Russia has apopulation, I believe, of about 80,000,000and they make the best playing-cards inSt. Petersburg of any place in Europe.Besides, the authorized manufactorythereby the Government U the only onein that vast omplrc. It is the Govern-ment institution just the same as thomint or tho United Stutos Treasury is aGovernment institution hero. It is 11-cenfccd by thu Govornment, protected bythe Government and tho net profits goto the foundling asylum. The same sys-tem prevails in Mexico, In France andGermany tho manufacturers are licensed,but tho biuiucsfl is uot «o much of amonoply there as It is in Russia."

"How is it in this country in thin ro-spoct."

"Tho only restriction that exists iuthis country Is tho Imposition of a reve-nue tax of five cents per pack, and thistax has to bo paid on nil grades of cardsregardless of their value.

"When nnd wheru nnd by whom worocards Invented V%

"Tho idea, which has finally beon de-veloped into tho playing-cards of thopresent dny, us wo know thorn hero Iuthix country, is supposed to have origin-ated In Hindoostan, and thu seeds whichhave produced such nu enormous crop inEuropo and Auioriou wero undoubtedlysown by tho gypsies who migrated fromthat fur Eiutcrn cllruo about tho four-teenth century. It is pretty generally es-tablished that they fouud their way toSpain and Italy first, then to France andGennuny and finally into England, inwhich latter country they probably ar-tived some timo iu tho first half of thofifteenth century. Ii is claimed how-over, that caidn wcro known in China atleast as early ns the first quarter of thotwelfth century. Thu cards introducedby tho gypsies, howover, were very dif-furout from thoso in uso now iu this coun-try, and were used by them for the pur-pose of fortune-telling aud not for play-ing game* of amusement or chance. Itis to the Spaniards wo aro indebted fortho invention of gambling, while to thoFrench belongs tho credit of transform-ing tho original 'tarotH,' a Pftc^ °f whichconsisted of seventy-eight cards, into thepresent more comprehendvo compass offour suits and fifty-two unrd*."

"When was the manufacture of play-cards introduced into this country?"

"That is a question I can hardly an-swer. All tho data I havo given thusfar I have gleaned from a history ofplaying-cards published in Englang.Tho subject has never been extensivelygone into by any ono ambitious of en-lightening the world so far as this coun-try is concerned. Curds have no doubtexisted in this country for more than acentury. The first rcputablo manufact-urer of playing-cards I have any know-ledge of in America was Thomas Crehor,of Boston,r^and he was burnt out in 1844.

friend was carefully guarded from Anykind of raeutal ox«rcisc, nn<\ {roin anypossible physical ft»Ugw>. He began thei*to metyd and he continued to mend untilrooowory was accomplished. When lostI heard from him, lie was a successful

A man named Calvin Dartlett carried onthe businesH from 1835 to 1840, and aFrenchman named Zanzado was also herefrom 1840 to 1844. But the best goodsot that timo were manufactured in Bos-ton by Crehor."

"How long have you been in the busi-ness?"

"Thirty-four yours. And there hasbeen great changes during that time. InFrance and 8puiu there has been no im-provements in tho methods of manufact-uring cards for the ltwt hundred years.They use the same old hand-presses,printing tho sheets in block and put-ting in tho colors with stencils. Thepresses too, aro small, because largesheets cannot bo printed on a hand-pressand consequently it requires several im-pressions to complete a pack. I usesteam presses, print a whole pack at oneimpression, and, what is more, print allthe colors at once."

"Do the styles ever change?"

"No, not so far as the figures aro con-cerned. Attempts havo been mado tochange the styles of tho face cards andthe spots, but they have invariablyresulted in failure. It is, my opinion,practically impossible to improve onwhat we have been familiar with for somany years nnd which has proved sosatisfactory for so many generations.About the only change ha* been in thestyle of tho back und general improve-ment in quality."

"Wfmt is the extent of tho manufact-ure of cards in this country?"

"Probably about 5,000,000 packs ayear. Of that number I supply fully2,500,000 packs. I employ 160 personsand manufacture my own paper. Thoonly rivul of any importance in thiscountry is the United Card Company.In my day I have seen as many as twentyconcerns started but they have all passedout of existence after a brief time. Thogreat secret of the successful manufact-ure of playing-cards is in tho muuufact-ure and preparation of tho paper so as tosecure the required elasticity, and thecutting nnd finishing of the cards so thatthoy can be shuffled and dealt. Hero isa pack manufactured In Chicago, whichsome ono brought in here as samples.They are made of pasteboard and cutwith A die. The consequence it) thatthey are not cut of uniform size, an,d, theedges on one side are pressed <Vw& andleft jagged, so t!\aj tt U impossible toshuffld and °Al thorn. The best cards

as tho best were thirty years aigo. Thebest goods are handled thirty times afterthe paper is made before they aro com-pleted and ready for market. As to thodemand, I do not suppose there aro anymore cards now than there wore thirtyyears ago. But one pack now will lastus long as a dozen would that weremade then. Up to twenty years ago weused hand presses, printed less than apack at a time and had to make as manyimpressions as there were colors on thecurds."

"How about the manufacture of mark-ed cards, such as gamblers sometimesuse?"

"Those cards are genorally marked bythe gamblers themselves. Sometimesthey make them by cutting up cards andpasting them in some peculiar way. Noreputable card-manufacturer will manu-facture marked cards or have anythingto do with them. The gamblers who usemarked cards used to resort to the dodgeof getting the regular manufacturers toprint the face of the cards, leaviog thebacks white and they would get thebacks printed somewhere else. Now, noreputable manufacturer will do that even.I have not printed a white-backed curdfor anybody in twenty years. There areI belive, ono or two places in New Yorkwhere they are manufactured to orderfor gamblers."

"Aro there any illuminated card* man-uracturod in this country!"

"None whatever. They aro purely aFrench Invention and aro manufacturedIu France."
