Tbe history of Miss Gndsey la well known
to tbe public, a statement of ber wonderful
condition having been published extensive
ly by tbe press of tbe United States. At
the time of ber death Miss Godsey was
about 26 years of age, and bad been asleep
s described, about fourteen years. Tbe
existence of this wondeiful esse ef coma,
or preternatural disposition to sleep, bas
been doubted by many, but tbe fact ia In
disputable. Indeed tome twelve months
ago, Miss Godsey was taken to Nashville
and other places lor exhibition, Int we un
derstand many even of tbe physicians o
Nashville, looked upon the case with suspl.

The history of tbe case Is brief: When
about twelve Tears of aio aha was tAkan
with aseverochill; and treated according
ly by her physician. As tbe fover which
followed ber chill subsided, she fell into a
deed sleep, la which condition she bas re
mained ever since, except at inteivuls. It
was her custom at first to walse rogularly
twice in every twenty-four hours, and sin
gularly, within a few minutes of tbe same
hours each day; but of ia'.e years she awoko
ofiener, so much so that many considered
It an Indication of her final recovery. She
wculd remain awake five, ten, orperhap
firteen minutes, and gradually drop off to
slsop agin. When asleep it wns fmpo9sf.

enduring severe pain, but when awake she

ly passed into sleep through violent par
oxysm, which would last perhaps fiv
minutes, and she would then sleep awhile

and muscles were well proportioned and
developed, aud grow considerably niter- her
