A FEAEFUL ALVENTUEE- I am a doctor living on twenty-third St., New York, and la6t winter I had a fearful adveuture with a maniac, the account of winch . I have not before made public, from the fact that T have so Bhuddered to think of the night, of horror that J! have not before summoned courage to recall the circumstances at the point of my pen ; but my nerves have grown stronger, and I give this to the public as an evidence that truth, if not stranger than fiction, has at least a more fearful realization. The follow-, ing is the story ; One stormy night in December, dur ing a visit of my family to Poughkeep ,sie, I was all alone, the1 servants; even being away at a wake or a wedding, when a ring at the door bell summoned me to the hall, and, on opening the door, I was confronted by a large fine looking man, well dressed, and of pleas ing manners. - "Good evening," said he, in a splen did voice. "This is" Dr. B , is it not?" "That is my name, sir," I replied blandly, willyou walk in?" "Thank you, sir," he retnrned, manner that showed him to be in a profit di sen- cient in politeness, "Are you gaged for the evening, doctor ?" "I am," said I. "I am very clad voaarc, sir," he re plied; "it gives mo an 'opportunity'-! nave long desired of conversing with you upon anatomical science, with, per haps, some practical illustrations ;" and ' .with this he followed me into my office arid seated himself before the comforta ble grate. As he had apparently forgotten to leave his hat on the rack in the hall, I requested him to take it off and offered to carry it to the hall for hiin, and while he arose to take it off, it gave me an op- j portnnity to observe his splendid phy-. sique. He was apparently over six feet in height, and of muscular proportions, a very Apollo in form with handsome, regular features, a fine mustache, and luminous black; eyes that at times had a wondertiil glitter in them. "Whom have I the honoi of meeting?" said I,5 when I returned from the hall. ' "Ah !" he replied, with a smile, "as to the honor, you are raising a question ; as to my name, I am answering one in the card I have the honor in present ing to you." On a handsomely written card I read the name, "John Dalhousie, M. D., No. 75 Lombard street, Itondon," and imme diately I entertained a higher feeling of respect for my ; visitor, and attached more importance to the visit. A lect ure of mine upon anatomy had been read and. favorably commented upon by- the Board ot surgeons in London, and I was vain enough; to think that this had in duced the visit, so I extended all my hospitality to my; visitor, andu- placed wines and elgarfand WQ" entered into an animated con venation, in - which I found him well read and deeply versed in medicine and surgery, and the 'ap pearances were that I had more to learn from him than to impart. I noticed, as he sipped the wine from time to time, that the glearn. of his black eyes grew more intense, but 1 supposed this came. from his deep interest -in the subject of our , convercation. He then proposed to go to my dissecting room whichJ iiad. located on ihe.top floor Jor the benefit of a skylight,- and with pleas-, ure I led the" way, aud lit a fire in the stove which I j always kept, ready to touch off, bo that we soon had a hot fire, arid the room warm while I threw oil a flood of gaslight, which-made the room pruiiant, inueea. . tne examinea.my surgical and dissecting instruments, and his eyes glistened as he remarked how he would; like, an opportunity, jpf using thein, aud I expressed my regret that! nau not a subject. to place at his uispo sal. r ' He then told me he had an origi Tinl nlon f-T- tnotuiiv tins aivnrrtti rkf tlio human heart 4hd U&iijgnest- degree of puisatiou and it Ijwpuld i lie down upon the dissectirig table he would practically demonstrate it to me. J He said it would be best to remove clothing to the Waist, so I stripped them off aiMRjtfid Jidpw'n ; upon the table. He Then, went v to 7 my head and leaned over me and in a mo ? ment before I was aware of his purpose, he had riiy arms pinioned back with a rope that he had evidently taken out of Fvivw sup noose an prepareu. As he b'o'tfiniineorelirhily, he told . ue ii j. maae a noise he would stab' me "to the heart. He then went to my feet auu oouna them hrmly, and I had an opportunity of looking into his face : in Hanuy gieamea irom ms eyes : 1 6aw that-I-a iu the &weiHf a jnaniac was utterly lielpleslrl dafedri'dtlfnake a noise, knowing that he uVopW rkill: me tne moihint I did. My agony: ot r. sus peuse was awful. Wliat was he going lU UO. k. il ni a. He took and his eyes gleamed with fiendish de- light. All hope died in my breast ; I saw his purpose. He said to me, with a demoniacal laugh that made my blood run cold : "Ah, doctor, you regretted not hav ing a subject for dissection at my dispo sal, you see how easily I have secured one. It is my old plan ot securing living-subjects, I like to operate on them best, and study the vitality of each par ticular part of the human body, and how long life will last under dissection of any one of its. parts." 'My God!" I exclaimed in my ago- ny; alive "you are not going 10 aiseect me "Why certainly I am," he said, with a laugh. "Yon owe-that much to science. You know Paul 6aid, 'though I give my body to be burned,' and surely you. can give yours to be - cut up. You have passed your age of usefulness, and have drifted into the old-fogy ideas ; you are not a progressionist as lam ; you, be long to the old school which, like the Bourbons, never learns anything and never forgets anything and it is better for you to be anatomized than fossilized; fossils are nothing to science ; anatomy is everything." "But," said I, in the most appealing voice, "my dear sir, we owe something to humanity as well as to science ; we owe something to hospitalitj'. Iiemem ber you are my guest ; I haye treated you kindly and well ; you surely can not violate my confidence thus. Think of my wife and dear little ones, who would return to a home of desolation if yon were so cruel." lor a" moment his eves soitened, and hope rose in my breast ; but he looked at my keen instruments again and the gleam came back to him, and ! felt as one might feel in the power of a lion, as he replied : "bcience, my dear doctor : science is everything. All lesser considerations must give way to science. Our mar riage and domestic relations in this life are, after all, but demonstrations of sci ence." He then took the poker and stuck the end of it in the red hot stove. What horrible torture was he preparing for me ! O, heavens ! could nothing move this maniac from his hobby of sci ence ? "Yon eee, doctor," he said, "1 am studying the human heart aud its vital forces, and you can understand how nec essary it is fRat life exist in it for the purpose of a satisfactory investigation. 1 am now heating this poker to a white heat, and I shall slowly approach vour heart with it, and particularly note its pulsations, until, by plunging the hot iron into it, unless it ceases to beat. Ahfl that will be a splendid triumph of sci ence. Harvey discovered the circula tion ot the blood, but he never ran a red hot iron into a living human heart." It was the awful moment, of my exis tence when he drew that iron from the fire at a white heat and began, slowly descending its point to my naked breast and heart, which would cease to beat, as the white heated, hissing iron, would be buried into its quivering valves. O, my reader, may, yon never have such a moment of intense agony, not even when yeu rise on the morning of the ast day. "Ah, me, said he suddenly. "1 had brgotten a most important part of the nvestigation. Have you a puisimeter? I desire to note the exact pulsation of your heart" A, ray of hope lit up my 60ul at tins nquir as a slender chance of salvation presented itself, iust as drowning men catch at straws, and I replied : "Yes. doctor, you will find a you will find a very tine one in that closet to the right; the door las a combination lock ; turn the knob three times forward and twice forward and twice backward, and it will be . un- ocked- You will find the pulsimeter on the upper shelf." In this closet 1 had a wonderful skel eton, so arranged with strong spring and connection with the door and lock, that any one opening the door by the knob would be caught in the arms of the 6kel eton, and held with an iron grasp, so that no man with ordinary strength could get away. Ihe mamac placed the iron again to the etove to regain its white heat, and went to the door, turning the knob as I had directed him. In my young days I had practised ventriloquism, and just as he opened the door and the skeleton grasped him in its cold, deathly em brace, 1 threw my. voice into its rattling jaws and , exclaimed in ' a sepulchral tone: ' "Ah, my hne fellow. 1 have vou at last, nave l : une oy one 1 gather you in ! Come with me. I'll give you some practical demonstrations ot science. With .an unearthly .yell ot terror, he broke away in his strength from the skeleton, and witba deathly fright in his gleaming eye he rushed with streaming hair down the steps, and the slamming of thetront door came faintly up to me, and then I knew no more un til the servant girl came home, and. searching for me, found me tied upon my dissecting table, from which she res cued joe, and 1 slowly recovered from the fearful nervous strain. About a month after this occurrence, saw an account bt a body having been found in the water at one of the East river docks. The inquest was death bv drowning,' supposed to be accidental or suicidal. 1 he bod v was taktn to h t r m. Morgue for recognition. The description attracted my attention ; 1 went to see it, ana requested that it not recosrnized and claimed, I might have? the body for the dissecting room, as it was such a fine specimen j and I now have in my room the magnmcent skeleton of John Dal hou&ie, M.

J OUB : EUEOPEAN ; COBEESPONDENCEJ Glasgow, Scotland, Oct. Sth, 1874. : I Messrs. Editors Southern-Home I bavtf been attending the Social Science Con 'gress which bas been in session here from 30th September until yesterday evening it closed its sessions. This was tbe 18th annual session. The object of the Abso- ciation is to aid the development of So cial Science, to spread a knowledge of the principles of jurisprudence, and to guide the public mind to tbe best p.actical means of promoting the advancement of education, the preventioo and repression of crime, the reformation of criminals, the adoption of sanitary regulations, and the diffusion of sound principles on all questions of political and social economy. It aims to bring together the various so cieties and individuals who are engaged, orjnterested in furthering thesa objects; and, without' trenching upon1 independ ent exertions, seek to elicit by discussion the real elements of truth, to clear up doubt, to harmonize discordant opinions, and to afford a common ground for the interchange of trustworthy information on the great social problems of the day. Its meetings are at a different place each year, it is 14 years since it belore met in Glasgow, next year it meets in Liverpool. It numbers amongst its members some of the best men, and greatest minds of the country, while some others of them are not much, as evidence, your humble sub scriber was enrolled as a member at this session. The members in attendance at this session numbered about 1160. It is impossible in a letter to give you even an outline of their eight days' proceedings. I have therefore sent you Glasgow pa per's containing outlines of each day's proceedings, which you can examine for yourselves. At the first meeting there wae much interest felt amongst the mem bers when the venerable statesman, poet and philanthropist, Lord Haughton, re signed the presidency of the Association, and placed young Lord Rosebury in the chair. Though tall and good-looking, hav: ing a fine countenance and good address, his very, youthful appearance, compar ed with his aged predecessor, led many to suppose that he would, possess nei ther tbe wisdom nor experience, necessa ry to enable him to discharge the import ant duties of his office, and interest and instruct tbe members. His opening address however took such members by surprise, and he has throughout sustained himself nobly, his aptness, with good sense, and fine ready address, has made him very popular. If spared be will un doubtedly take a high stand amongst tbe peers of the realm. The Congress was divided into four different departments: 1st. Jurisprudence and amendment of tbe law. 2nd. Education. 3rd. Health. 4th. Economy and' trade, each of which bad their own hall and corps of officers. The department of jurisprudence and amendment of tbe law, was presided over by Juord Moncrein, .Lord J ustico Clerk, ol Scotland. That of education by Lord Napier. That of health by the Right! Honorable Lyon rlaylair, and that of economy and trade, by Sir George Camp bell. Each ot tbese rresideots in turn. on Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tues day mornings, delivered an address in the Mall of tbe yueen s rooms, to the general body of tbe Congress, then aft repaired to their respective departmental hall, in tbe Glasgow Corporation Build ings, and commenced their labours for the day. The first department embraced the science of jurisprudence and the amendment of the law, including the principles of law and legislation, compar ative jurisprudence, international law and municipal civil law, and criminal law together with the treatment of crim inals, and questions connected with in dustrial and reformatory schools. This department was delivered into two sec tions, and a committee was appointed on each section. Tbe first embraced tbe following special questions for discussion: 1st. Is it desirable that the verdicts of juries should be unanimous ? 2nd. Should the testimony ot any and what persons, at present excluded as witnesses, be ad missabie as evidence iu Courts of law ? 3rd. How far may Courts .of Arbitration be resorted to as a means of settling the disputes of nations? . The second section had as special questions for discussion, 1st. How far is it desirable that the In dustrial School Act should be extended to day industrial feeding schools? 2nd. How far should previous convictions be taken into. account , in sentencing crimi nals? 3rd..: Is it 'desirable to extend police supervisions to other cases than those already provided for? The II department, Educational, dealt with the various questions relating to the educa tion of middle, lower aud upper classes ot society, and the following special questions were presented for diseussion : 1st. What is the best mode of extending the benefits of academical endowments in England and Scotland respectively ? 2nd. In what way and at what stage can technical instructions be best introduced into the national system of education ? 3rd. How fat can the children of the waes-earning classes be best brought un der elementary instruction by means of the factory, workshops and other acts, aud by the action of School Boards ? The III department, Health, considered tbe various questions relating to public health, compared statistical evidence of the relative healthfalDess of different lo calities, of different industrial occupa tions, and generally ot" the influence of external circumstances as affecting health or disease; and discussed improvements in house construction, (more' especially as to the dwellings of the laboring classes.) in drainage, warming and ven tilating; public baths and wash bouses ; adulteration of food and administrative machinery necessary for its preservation; sanitary police ; quarantines, &c. ; pover ty in relation to disease ; and the effects of nnhealtbiness on the prosperity of places and persons. The especial ques tions discussed under the above heads were : 1st.. What are the best methods of sewering towns and of disposing of their organic refuse ? 2nd. In what way can healthy dwellings for. working men be ereeted in lien of these removed for the purpose of carrying out sanitary or municipal improvements,, or for" Other purposes ? 3rd.: What influence" has the employment of mothers n manufactories on infant mortality, and ought any and what restrictions to be placed on such employment? lei the 'TV department, Economy and lbade were considered, .the varioas questions relating to economies, social1 -political and commercial. t 5 It L also - collected " information s relating -tar prod uction; ma nufactu re an d. trad e. -The special questions submitted vfor "discus sion under this head were: 1st. How can Britain best prepare itself to - ineet the' increased competition arising' from the spread of manufacturing industry in Eu rope ? ; 2nd. What legislation should fol lew upon the Report of the; Commission on.Friend Societies ? 3rdrtTffhk are, ttya best means -of drawing together the .in terests of the United KiDgoom, India i and the Colonies ? Two days were set apart for tbe reading and discussion of volun tary papers on other subjects than it e special questions comprised under tte several departments. . . To many of your readers living in a sparsely settled country, tbe subjects pre sented under the beads for consideration, may seem not only strangebut unnecea-K sary, but to such a country " as this, witjbf its densely crowed manufacturing cities, they are each and all, questions of vast importance, as the health, wealth and happines3 of miliums of human beings depend 'upon their proper solution. Some of the papers read and di eussions held thereon, weFe both, interest ing and instructive, and many of the sta tistics presented brought to light striking facts. Some of which astonished me. It was therefore delightful to see so many great men and minds engaged in trying to devisctbe best way and means to allJ viato the sufferings of their fellow oreal tures, check crime and reduce the many evils that were shown to exist in some places. Before tho Congress was opened a sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Caird to its members and tbe public in tbe Col lego Churcb; and on Sunday another was preached to them in the Cathedral by Rev. Dr. Burns, sketches of each you will see in papers sent, each of these serj mons contains a point, that is sharply criticised as being wrong, or giving forth very uncertain sounds. Saturday was set apart for a day of social enjoymentf, and the good citizens of Glasgow had an arrangement with the Railroads and Steamboats for bur party to visit Arron and another to go up Loch Lomond cross over and come down Loch Long into the firth of the Clyde. The weather appear ing as it might be rough I chose the lat ter route as we would not have as much sea. I had therefore the pleasure of again surveying Jhe beautifal .islands of Locb Lomond, the lofty mountain scene ry along its upper borders, and to see the fine mountain scenery betwixt the lakes and on the upper sections of Loch Long, and tbe many beautiful Glasgow water ing places along its shores on the lower sections. Though the day was rather windy, all seemed to enjoy themselves. Only one thing tended to cast a gloom over us. Ono who came to the depot to go with us, on alighting from his car riage was struck down by disease of tbe heart and expired in less than five min utes, this we learned as the train was starting, but were kept in suspense as to wbo it was, until we landed at night at Heleneburg to take tbe train, we ascer tained that it was a gentleman from Lon don, who was to have read a -paper be fore us Monday. In connection with the Congress was an exhibition of sanitary, educational, domestic and econsmk; ap pliances 'most approved by science. These were exhibited in a largo Drill Hall and were classified as follows : Warming, ventilation and light ing, consisting o? grates, stoves, flues, furnaces, boilers, hot air and water pro cesses of warming, systems of ventila tion, lamps, gasaliers, jets, reflectors, reg ulators, &c. Domestic appliances ard Economic ap paratus, consisting of stoves, ranges and ovens (heated with" gas and otherwise,) for roasting, baking, or boiling, &o., food manufacturing machines, machines for economising household labour, culinary utensils.acd articles of domestic utility. Sanitary architecture and appli ances, for outward and interior ornamen tation, including laboratories, baths, closets, filters, fountains, ornamental bricks, tiles, cements, concretes, flag, stone ware and clay ware. Sanitary, engineering .and disinfect ants, for all things connected with the supply of water, drain pipes, tubes, sinks, taps, traps, troughs, closets, urinals, fil ters, sewerage and drainage contrivances, disinfectants, deodorants, antiseptics, &c. Food and clothing, specimens :of food and confectionery of all descriptions, condensed fluids, preserved meats, fruits, vegetables, and oher articles of general consumption, beverages, and specimens of. adulteration in various forms. Articles of dress and clothing best adapted for men, women and child ren in different climates 3- beds and bed ding for hospitals and tents; belts and fitting for the protection of life at Sea. School furniture and educational , ap paratus, comprising models and plans of school buildings, school desks and. fur niture, gymnastics, maps, drawings, books and other articles, used in. teach ing. Tbe whole made a large display. Some things were excellent, while t oth ers I thought but very ! ordinary, and some not at all adapted for our section of country. Some- of the telegraphing machines drew much attention, especial ly a new mode by which they claim a train can be telegraphed from when run ning. Something new. is xequired on railroads in this country, especially Eng land,' as so many of their trains are out of time. " A Travelek. Columbia, S. C. Ocu, 23. The pub lishing of the Governor's proclamation, this morning, was a perfect bombshell in the Chamberlain camp. At first their cry was that Gov. Moses had sold out the party, and ought to be punished. ' Tnreats of criminal prosecutions, on all sorts cf charges, for offences committed during his term of office, were thick as Autumn leaves, and evidences of money alleged to have been paid him for offices were hunted up with wonderful alacrity. Bo wen bas been telegraphed for to testify that ho paid Moses fifteen hundred dollars for the appointment of the origi nal election commissioners for Charles ton. Later on tbe feeling seemed to be one of coerced calmness, and that, al though the Groen men. would be jubilant for awhile, a reaction would soon set in. Senator Patterson was reported at one time to be almost in tears, and as saying that Moses ought to.be killed. :: After a storm of passion, I am told .that he ex claimed, UD n it I I donV know now what in the world to do, ' We've 'got no money, but most- try Id raise some.?'

Awkwardness may be inerad icable. . Bashfulness is constitutional.; Ig norance of etiquette is the result of cir cumstances.

It is a shame for wo men to be lectured on their manners, it is a bitter shame that they need it. Wo men are the umpires of society.' It is they to whom all mooted points should be referred. To be a lady is. more than to be a prince. A lady is always in her right inalienably worthy of respect. To a lady, prince and peasant alike bow. Do not bo restrained. Do not have the impulses that . need restraint. Do not wish to dance with the prince unsought. Feel differently. Be such that you con fer honor. Carry yourself so loftily that men shall look up to you for reward, not at 3'ou for rebuke. The natural senti ment of man towards woman is rever ence. He loBes a large means of grace when he isobliged to account her a being to bo trained into propriety. A man's ideal is not wounded when a woma fails in worldly wisdom, but if in grace, iu fact, in sentiment, in delicacy, in kind ness, she should be found wanting, he receives an inward hurt. ffail Hamilton. Fort Valley Mirror : The negroes have no toleration for opposition from their own color, and have as little notion of civil or political liberty as the tribes in Central Africa. A case in point veri fies this assertion. Bill Smith, colored, a Baptist preachei over at Butler, voted the straight Democratic ticket in the late election supporting ' Rutherford and Fickling with all his might saying plainly to the white people that he was willing to aid them in electing honest and competent men to make laws to govern all classes alike. Smith is pastor of the church at Butler, and has been for over two years. On Saturday night some vil lainous scoundrels set fire to a new bouse that he was building near the town, and b.urnt it to the ground. Sunday night after he was through preaching, and was singing the closing hymn, somebody threw a large iron ball, weighing five or six pounds, at him in the pulpit, missing bis body only a few feet. That same night the church building was leveled to the ground by the incendiary's torch. Things are coming to a pretty pass in that County. Laudaulet Williams ought to send a few troops over there to pro tect the life and property of a colored man, who has the manliness to exercise hia elective franchise just as he chooses. The whites should stand by this colored man, and show him that they are his best friends, and aid him in ferreting out the perpetrators of this damnable deed, and bring them to punishment.
