A STEANGE STORY.
IfiOW A DEAD MAN'S CHAIN WAS
TKAXSFEKRED T0 A QUICIt
r. -,
A correspondent of the New
'ork World, writing from Paris,
sjives'thor following: strange and
hardly credible account of the rc-J
cent transfusion of a dead man's
brain into a living subject. The
facts are reported by the World
jcor respondent as. recorded in the
G azette Ilebdoma dai rc, taken
Troni ViyrhoV''s Archives, a riicdi
jcnl journal published a .Berlin :
j It was at Leipzig that the ex
jjerinient was perfonaetl. A sol
dier who had killed the cti Jon el
(-liio -tet2f.i tv m ilia' aaJA iiu
whom . the severity of Prussian
military discipline would have
caused to die a hundred deaths,
Iliad it been possible, was deliber-
Atelv handed over to the surgeons.
by sentence of eotirt-martial, and
;was confined m a strong room in
thp niijitary hospital, entirely in
the dark as to
tiie lixte which
a waited him.
rondv fni fin

did not fail to occur. A- keeper
of a beer cellar in Leipzig, a man
ircsemblmg in many respects the
Icondemned soldier, and who had
been seized with acute inflama
tion of the hearr, or rather of its
'investing membrane, was brought
'to the hospital to die of that in
curable, and promptly fatal, mala
dy. No sooner had the anticipa
ted death taken place than the
dead saloon-keeper was placed on
the table by the side of another
operating table, on which was
the chloroformed but living body
of the soldier. Two surgeons,
with assistants, proceeded alike
in both cases to divide the scalp
over the summit of the skull from
car to ear, turij back the divisions
and remove the skull-cap by in
cisions passing around the skull
like a crown.' In the' soldier,
whose" carotid arteries had been'
prepared for compression, these
vessels were clamped so as to pre-;
vent hemorrhage, and but a lew
drops of blootl were lost during
the entire operation. In each the
dura mater was incised, and the
hemspheres of the brain were re
moved bv an incision --with a'
sharp, thin bladed knife passing
abou t the cerebellum, or a nar
row portion of about two inches
in a diameter called the crura
cerebri. The brain of the saloon
keeper, which' was sound, the
heart disease having left it intact,
lie havins: been sensible to the
last, was transferred to the skull
of the spldier, and by an ingenious
contrivance, the continuity of the
"arterial and venous tubes wasies
tablished. The greatest Scare was
taken m securing the natural a
daptation of thp parts to a frac
tion of a Hue; and the skull hay
in g been replaced simply, was
held down .111. position!. byAtie
scalp, which was drawn over, and
its edges, confined by strips of ad
hesive plaster, and . over all was
placed a bandage. ;, It was not
until several days had passed that
the pressure upon the carotid
arteries was entirely relaxed, al-
thougn Deiore tne skull - was re
placed the flow pf blood in tKe
vessels of the brain was proved to
be restored. - ; The chief fear was
from the results bf inflammation
and suppuration, but1 fortunately
neither erlsued, and the wounded
parts healed kindly. There was
from the first no difficulty in feed
ing the patient, nor was difficulty
anticipated, for it is well known
that in puppiesy ana1 y kittens in
which the entire brain has been
removed sucking and swallowing
go on as well as before the opera
tion, aud in this case the nerves
which preside over deglutition
and digestion -were far below the
point of section. The patient re
mained in a sound sleep for two
weeks, as in a case of apoplexy,
the circulation, digestion and all
the vegetative functions of life be
;ng n ninterrupted. The gradual
union of the parts was shoy n by
faint but gradually increasing
movements of the limbs, of the
jaws ai.d of the muscles of expres
sion in the face. Speech, did not
become possible until the close of
th e third week, and , then it was
h esi ta t i 11 g, sta m rn e r i n g, a s a ch i 1 d
learns. Although it was evident
that the patient tried to utter
words and sentences it was very
gradually that the power of in
telligible articulation returned.

port in a tabular form of ihe in

ment called an cesthesio!nitcr;
biit I oii'.it besc, as your readers
will be
interested
in tho main
facts only. J
When speech became ictclligi
ble it was found that tho soldier,
as he seemed, had forgotten en
tirely his military training and
discipline; 011 the other hand he
told, at a formal exarai nation, in
the presence of a number of wit
nesses, the price of all the wines
and beers, such as the saloon-,
keeper had been in the habit of
huvinsr and selling, manifesting
the unimpair.edjcerebral activity
of the latter. His tnemory recalled
the saloon-keeper's relatives,
friends and customers, .whom he
called bv name. The soldier had
been ugh', tacturn revengeful ;
he now had the saloon-keeper's
f rankness and even garrulity,- in
spite of his stammering utterance,
lie was totally blind. .Although
the nerves of smell and sight had
been approximated in the approx-
imatetl in the operation, thev
iaiieu to unue. it was both sad
and strange to see and hear the
soldier grooping in his. infirmity
of blindness and giving proof of
all the patient endurance and j
goodness of heart which had made
the saloon-keeper deservedly es
teemed and prosperous. ; These
are the mam iacts in the case as
far as dekiiled in the Archive, bUT

brain, of bea rt-po w e r an d nervous-energy,
that we may be well
assured'to no facts of interest' in
the changed condition of the cul
prit will be permitted to escape
notice and record. , A grave point
of discussion is whether he must
still be considered, a criminal and
suffer execution as a guilty soldier,
or shall be pensioned and liberal
ly cared for in his infirmity as a
guiltless and much suffering beer
seller. Public sentiment is divid

She was proud to say that thp.

which was said to come from God,
which made it necessary to their
salvation and exaltation in heaven
that they should give to their
husbands other wives, even though
that act of obedience should cni

betrayed y that abnegation
which women have! always shown
in a. religious cause. The more
alluring doctrine of a kinship of

to be saved, and that true mar

He then begins! very gently,
"This will never do, nrydear;

furnished to a greater or less ex

of th e Un i on ; and was 4he only
one that could make such exhibit.
Nor were these productions mere
samples or specimens, but with
the exceptions' of the sugars of
Louisiana, staples, all raised on a
large scale. There was the sugar
of Louisiana, land the maple sugar
of Vermont, the rice of South
Carolina and the barlev of New
York, the indigo of Georgia, and
the buckwheat of Pennsylvania;
there was wheat, and oats, and
rye, and' corn, all produced in
large quantity, while all the great
southern staples cotton, and to

Since 1840, there have been

Quarrels.

tin ngs;in,xn e w ui ia,
rel , no matter with

pretence provocation, or occasion
whatsoever. There is no kind of
necessity for it, ho manner ot use
in it and yet strange as the fact
may be, theologians! quarrel, arid
politicians, lawyers,! doctors- and
princes quarrel, thejChurch quar

and on all manner jof occasions.
If there i3 any thiugiu the world
that will make , a man feel I bad,
except pinching his fingers in the

tionably a quarrel., No man ever
fails to think less of himself after
than he did before one ; it degrad
eshimin his own eye3, and m
the eyes of others, and what is
worse, blunts his sensibility to
disgrace on the one hand, and in

truth is the , more quietljy and
