A "Wealthy Youiik I-ulyV Actlunn W.'illo AhU-.r.it On Urooklyn Heights, not far from the residence of Henry C. I 'own, live a couple of eminent respectability and great wealth, who are blessed with an only daughter, now in her 'j.i vcar. Other children adorned the, union, but they died young, and now none is left hut this daughter, who is a type of amiability and loveliness. And yet this young lady has, within the past year heroine a most extraordinary phenom enon. None outside, her immediate family but the medical gentlemen and servants at) ending her an permitted to see her, but an Arttut leprcscntative. .having learned the facLs, railed upon the lady's father last evening, and he unhesitatingly gave him the facts of the ease, upon the, condition that no clew would be given as to his name or residence. It appeals linin Hie fathers story that the yoiiny; lady, once in every 1 hours, suffers a paroxysm which lasts from forty-live minutes to an houi and a quaiter. It attacks her about n o'clock in the evening, at the hour at which she has been accustomed to icliie to rest, ami commences with spasmodic agitation and heaviness of respiration. The disorder seizes her in bed, or, if she sits up, in herrhiir. Altera few moments of slumber or torpor, she begins to speak. Mir genei.dly lies per fectly motionless. Her exercises con sist of three pa its. first, an introduc tory ;-:-y..r? similar to those used in Itcformcd Churches; next, a sermon, delivered as if to a supposed audience; and thiidly, a closing supplication to the Deity, icscmbling the final offering of prayer and thanksgiving from the pulpit. She neither formally announ ces a text, nor sings, but often recites verses from thi' hymns. The topics of these verses are strictly coinformahlc to the general faith of the Presbyterian Churches, but she sometimes, though rarely, strongly insists on the peculiar tenets of her own sect. She mauifists an extensive and familiar acquaintance with Scripture, citing not only texts, but long passages readily and accurately. Her language is plain, but occasionally ornamented and ligurative; her articu lationis distinct and earnest, generally monotonous, but now and then marked by strong emphasis, and she pours forth her words in a lluent and rapid stream. If called by her name, she hears and replies to any question; her answers are pious and discreet, and when the current of her discourse is thus broken the original idea is abandoned, and she goes on with a new train of thought suggested by the question. This may be repeated again and again, always with the same result. Her ordinary discourses have a great resemblance to each other, but the dif ference is such as to show that they are extemporaneous, and not a repetition of a set of words on the memory. Her pulse is full and equable, with out flutter or intei mission. The tem perature of her hand and forehead is much that of a healthy person asleep. Toward the conclusion there is an evi dent diminution of the arterial pulsa ion at the wrist, and its frequency is ncreased about eight strokes in a min ute. Her features never show any dis tortion, but rather languor and exhaust ion. Her eyes are turned upwards, and their muscles have a tremulous spasm. She is insensible to all the gentler stim uli which have been applied to arouse her. At last .she has a few small spasms of the arms and throat, and is agitated by an emotion between sighing and groaning; after a few minutes of restlessness and moaning, without open ing her eyes, she passes to a state of natural sleep. The reporter was introduced to the senior physician attending the lady, and through his courtesy was permitted to see her. as she was then in one of her stupors. The Doctor told the reporter that it was a case of somniloquism, and related three or four other instances similar to this case, lie said that it has a manifest affinity to somnambu lism, and perhaps is still more nearly allied to dreaming and reverie, and to that state of mental derangement in which, while other faculties are in full vigor, some or all of the external senses are locked up in strange deception.

Hendricks' Letter of Acceptance. New Yokk, Aug. L- The following is Ilendiicks' letter: Indianapolis Ind., duly 4, 170. (Jentllmkn: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your com munication in which you have formally notified me of my nomination by the National Democratic Convention at St. Louis as their candidate for the of fice of Vice President of tho United states. It is a nomination which I neither expected nor desiml, and yet I recognize and appreciate the "high lionor done me by the convention. The choice of such a" body and pronounced with such unusual unanimity and ac companied with so generous an expres sion of esteem and confidence ouglit to outweigh all merely personal desires and preferences of my own. It is with this feeling, and. I trust, also from a deep sense of public duty, that I now accept the nomination," and I shall abide the judgment of my countrymen. It would have been impossible forme to accept the nomination if I could not heartily indorse the platform of the convention. I am gratified, therefore, to be able unequivocally to declare that I agree in the principles, approve the policies, and sympathize with the pur poses enuncfatcd in that platform. The institutions of our country have been sorely tried by the exigencies of civil war." and since the peace by a selfish and corrupt management of public affairs which has shamed us be fore civilized mankind. By unwise and partial legislation every industry and interest of the people" has been made to suffer, and in the executive department of tho government dis honesty, rapacity, and venality have debauched the public service." Men known to be unworthy have been pro moted, while others have been degraded for fidelity to official duty. Public of fice has been made the means of pri vate profit, and the country has been offended to see a class of men who boast the friendship of the sworn pro tectors of the state amassing fortunes by defrauding the public treasury and bv corrunting the servants of the peo ple. In such a crisis of the history of the countrv I rejoice that tho conven tion at St. Louis has so nobly raised tho standard of reform. Nothing can be well with us or with our affairs until the public conscience, shocked by the enormous evils and abuses which pre vail, shall have demanded and com pelled an unsparing reformation of our national administration in its head and in its members. In such a reformation the removal of a single ollicer, even of the President, is comparatively a trifling matter. If the system which he repre sents and which has fostered him as he has fostered it, is suffered to remain, the President alone must not be made the scapegoat for the enormities of thesys- tern wiiicn lmecis me puone service, and threatens the destruction of our institutions. In some respects I hold that the present Executive has been the victim rather than the author of that vicious system ; Congressional and party loaders have been stronger than the President, no one man could have cre ated it, and the removal of no one man can amend it. It is thoroughly corrupt, and must be swept remorse lessly away by the selection of a gov ernment composed of elements entirely new and pledged to radic.il reform. The first work of reform must evidently be the restoration of the normal operation of the Constitution of the United States, with all its amend ments. The necessities of war cannot be pleaded in time of peace. The right of local self-government as guaranteed by the Constitution must be every where restored, and the centralized, almost personal, imperialism which has been practiced must be done away with, or the first principle of the republic will be lost. Our financial system of expedients must be reformed". Gold and silver are the real standards of values, and our national currency will not be a perfect- medium of exchange until it shall be convertible at the pleas ure of the holder. As I have heretofore said, no one desires a return to specie payment more earnestly than I do, but I do not believe that it will or can be reached in harmony with the inter ests with the people by artificial meas ures for the contraction of the currency any more than I believe that wealth or permanent prosperity can be created bv an inflation of the currency. The laws of finance cannot be disregarded with impunity. The financial policy of the Government, if, indeed, it deserves the name of policy at all, ha3 been in disregard of these laws, and therefore has disturbed commercial and businss confidence, as well as hindered a return to specie payments. One feature of that policy was the resumption clause of the act of 1S75, which has embar rassed the country by the anticipation of a compulsory resumption for which no preparation has been made, and without any assurance that it would be practicable. The repeal of that clause is necessary that the natural operation of financial laws may be restored, that the business of the country may be re lieved from its disturbing'and depress ing influence, and that a r eturn to specie payments may be facilitated by the substitution of wiser arid more prudent legislation, which shall mainly rely on a judicious system of public economies and official retrenchments, and, above all, on the promotion of nrosDeritv in all tho indnqtn'oa nf rh 1 people. 1 do not underetand the repeal .f I iwi 01 i.-'t.j, ami ueui.mu iw ic .ii. 1 1 thoroughly believe that by public rem omv, bv official retrenchments, and bv wise finance enabling us to accumulate the precious metals, resumption at an early period possible without producing an artificial scarcity of currency, or disturbing public or commercial ctedit ; and that tiieao reforms, together with the restoration of pure government, w ill restore general confluence, encourage the useful investment of capital, furn ish employment to lalxr, and leheve the con u try from the paralysis of hard times. Vr"ith the industries if Un people there have been frequent inter lerencett. Our platform truly sa.vsfthat many industries have been impoverish ed to subsidize a few. Our comuieice las been degraded to an inferior i.m tion on the high seas. Manufacturer have been diminished. Agriculture Iuls been embarrassed, and the distress if the indusirial classes demands that these things shall be reformed. The burden of the pwple must also be lightened by a great change m out system of public expenses. ThejP!h g'ate expenditure which increased ta ation from 5 per capita m l-"v. to Sis in 1S70 tells its own story- of our need of reform. Our treaties with fotetgn Iowers should also be revised and amended in so far as they leave citi zens of foreign birth in any particulai less secure in any countrv on e.uth than they would be if they had been born upon our own soil and the iniquitous coolie system, which, through theagein-v of weathy companies, imports Chi nese lHmdmcn and establishes a species of slavery and interferes with tin' just rewards of labor on our Pacific roast, should be utterly abolished. In the re form of oi civil service I most hcutih indorse the section of the platform which declares that the civil service ought not to be subject to change at every election, and that it ought to be awarded for proved competencv and held for fidelity in the public employ. I hope never again to see the cnieland remorseless proscription for political opinion which lias disgraced the admin istration of the last eight years. Rut as the civil service now is, as all know, it 'M some men of tried integrity and private ability; such men, and such men only, should be retained in office, but no man should he retained on any consideration who has prostituted his office to the purpose of partisan intimi dation or compulsion, or who has furnished money to corrupt the elec tions. This is done and has been done in almost every county of the land. It is a blight uion the morals of the country, and ouglit to be reformed. Of sectional contentions and in re spect to our common schools, I have only to say, that in my judgment the man or party that would involve our schools in a political or sectarian con troversy is an enemy to the schools. The common schools are, so far, under the protecting care of all the jwople rather than under the control of any party or sect. They must bo neither sectarian nor partisan, and there must be neither division nor misappropri ation of the funds for their support. Likewise, I regard the man who would arouse or foster sectional animosities and antagonisms among his country men as a dangerous enemy to his country. All the people must be made to feel and know that once more there is established a purpose and jmiIicv under which all citizens of every condi tion, race, and color will be secure in the enjoyment of whatever rights the Constitution and laws declare or recog nize, and that in controversies that may arise the government is not a partisan, but within its Constitutional authority the just and powerful guardian of the rights and safety. All the strife between the races and sections will cease assoon as the power for evil is taken awav from a party who make political gains out of scenesof violence and bloodshed, and the Constitutional authority is placed in the hands of men whose iolit lcal welfare requires that peace and good order shall be preserved every where. It will be seen, gentlemen, that I am in entire accord with the platform of the convention by which I have been nominated as a candidate for the office of VicePresident.pf the United States. Permit me, in conclusion, to express mv satisfaction at being associated with a candidate for the Presidency who is first among his equate as the represen tative of the spirit or of the achieve ments of reform in his official career as the executive of the great State of New York. He has, in a comparatively short period, reformed the public service and reduced the public burden so as to have earned at once the gratitude of his State and the admiration of the country. The people know him to be thoroughfv in earnest He has shown himself to be possessed with powers which fit him in an eminent degree for the great work of reformation which this countrv now needs, and if he shall be chosen tiv the people to the high office of President of thp TTnitiv!
