MAMA 4 PORT The .Ncw Orleans Pica-
yune. after some thrilling remarks on the aw.
ful misery to which men subject themselves
by seeking oblivion from care in the artificial
exhllaration of spirituous liquors, adds the
following dreadful description of n person
whom the editor had seen rendered dcmoni.
&C by excessive intoxication:
by an accident we yesterday stood. with
chilled veins and starting eyes, Witnessing 4
spectacle of this kind. We were in compa
ny with a physician at Il moment when he
was called upon TO administer relief to the
victim. In a corner of the room we found
the tortured wretch, crouching and pceping
~fearfully through the rungs of n chair, at a
swarm Of flying snakes which he said were
darling through the room in all directions.--
B!oated terror was in his countenance. He
sprang from the corner, and flew from one
position TO another in agonIzing ALARM
Devils were pursuing him--behind, before,
above and below, and all around him, objects
Of terror and danger appeared, and lnstru-
ments OF death mcnaced him on every hand.
His eyes seemed starting from their sockets.
His EXPLANATIONS were so full of misery that
the heart ached to hear them. Then, again,
his fit assumed another form, and he ran a.
bout the room, jumping over chairs, and CAL
ling to US to see him walk upon the cealing.
Then he raved for liquor, screamed aloud,
cursed the world and his own existence, de-
manded brandy with wild and furious gestic-
u%!ations, and again sunk into grief and tears,
complaining that all the world was leagued
against. him. and even devils were employed
to prosecute him. Suddenly he fell into a
sort of waking trance. He was lifted on
the bed, and there he lay grasping at the air,
with such horrible contortlons of counten-
ance as made our flesh creepupon our bones.
The unfortunate wretch has recovered, as
our friend, the physician, declared danger to
be past when we left him; but vino may
form a conception Of his anguish endured dur
