DREAMING.

A correspondent sfthe F<apklin (N.C.) Obser-
yer furnishes that rswith chapter on "Onei-
romancy," from whichwe take the following
know plenty ofpaople who believe as strongly
FpG the Deity. Thk heing the case, we come now
toinquire intatale physiology of dreaming. Dream
ing is pIQci eRtirey confined to the brain; and
may beaafnedSto be an irregular action of that or
gan, in whlch the memory and imagination have
unlimited sway Durinss dreaming the will is
nearly always susp pended; though the power of as
sociation seems to be perfect-indeed, some times
surprisingly vivid. Gall, distinguished German
phrenologst, supposes that the brain consists of
plurality Of organs; that these organs severally re-
quire rest; that during sleep of these organs
are at rest (asleep) while others are awake and in
action; this latter is, he supposes, sub
stantially dreaming Some think that the mind is
always in action while sleeping, as we'll as when
awake and that during sleep, we are continually
dreaming but have no knowledge of our dreams
unless partially awake. Others think that dream
ing is produced by irritations or Impressions made
directly or indirectly on the brain. Whatever
opinion may be adopted, it is evident that impress
ions made on the senses, frequently produce the
most exaggerated representations in the brain.
DR.. Gregory had bottle Of warm water applied to
his feet, while indisposed-slept and dreamed that
he making journey to Etna. At another
time he having thrown the cover off his bed,
dreamed that he was walking on the ice on Hud-
sons Bay. One of your correspondents says that
on a certain occasion, he dreamed that some ono
was founding church on him; but on waking
found that it was only one of his neighbors lying
across his person. These examples abundantly
prove that dreams may always be referred to some
local cause rejecting its impressions the brain.
Though it must be admitted that sometimes during
sleep, intellectual operations Of great difficulty have
been performed. But this is due to the fact that
onlya single impression is made at once, and the
mind being more composed and free from distrac-
ton, the ideas are more vivid.

CONSUMPTION AS AFFECTED BY COMPLEXION.
The Edinburg Medical Journal publishes some
curious observations made by DR.. Beddoc on the
supposed proclivity of phthsis in persons of KAN
thous (rather Yellow complexion. TIE number
OF cases noted was FIVE hundred two hundred and
forty of whom were natives of Scotland, two hun
dred and seventeen were English, and forty three
were Irish. Persons having gray hair were not
noted. These observations not only disprove the
old notion of the special liability of xanthous per-
sons, but 60 far towards proving consumption to
be more rife among dark-eyed dark haired people.
Dark eyes more frequently met with among
the phthiscal (consumptive) people than was any
other color Red hair slightly above, and
fair hair fell little below, the average. Brown
hair counted little than threef fourths of its
proportionate number. Dark-brown, on the other
hand, rose almost as high above the average, and
black still higher, showing an excess in the pro-
portion of more than three to two. The frequency
of black hair among the non phthisica Irish does
not tell much on the average, Ireland furnishes
only forty three cases out Of the five hundred
less than nine per cent. That consumption may
be very frequent among persons of fine skin and
delicate complexion, Dr. b. does not deny; in fact,
he believes that very fair complexion, especially
when conjoined with dark hair and eyes, is very
often associated with procivity to consumption.
1t is also conceivable that the progress of the dis
ease may be in general more rapid in fair than in
dark subjects

CAUSES OF LEFT-HANDEDNES

The question has been much discussed among
anatomists whether the properties of the right
hand, in comparison with those Of the left, depend
on the course of the arteries to it. 1t is affirmed
that the trunk of the artery going to the right
passes off from the heart, so to admit the blood
directly and more forcbly into the small vessels Of
the arm. This is assigning cause which is un-
equal to the effect, and presenting altogether too
confined view of the subject it is rarticipa-
ton in the common error of seeking in the mech
anism the cause of phenomena which have deep
er source.
For the convenience of life, and to make us
prompt and dexterous, it is pretty evident that
there ought to be no hesitation which hand is to
be used, or which foot is to he put forward; is
there, in fact, any such indecsion Is this taught,
or have we this readiness given to US by nature?
1t must be observed, at the time, that there
is distinction in the whole light side of the BODY,
and that tie left side is not only the weaker in
gard to muscular strength, but also in its vital or
constitutional properties. The development of
the organs of action and motion is greater upon
the right side, as may at any time be ascertained
by measurement, the testimony Of the tailor or
shoe maker; certainly, this superiority may be said
to result from the more frequent excrtion of the
right hand; but the popularity extends to the
sttution also, and diseases attack the left extremi
ties more frequently than the right.
In opera-dancers, we may see that the most diff
fcult fcats performed by the right foot. But
their preparatory exercises better evince the natu
raj weakness of the left limb, in order to avoid
awkwardness in the public exhibition; for if these
exercises be neglected, an ungraceful performance
will be given to the right side. In walking be-
hind person. it is very seldom that see an
equalized motion of the body and if we look to the
left foot, we shall find that the tread is so firm
upon it, that the toe is not much turned out as
it is in the right, and that greater push is made
with it. No boy hops upon his left foot unless he
be eft-handed. The horseman puts his left foot
in the stirrup, and springs from the right.
We think may conclude that everything
being adapted, in the conveniences of life, to the
left hand-as, for example, the direction of the
worm screw, or of the cutting end ofthe auger-
is not arbitrary, but is related to natural endow
ment of the body. He who is left-handed is most
sensible to the advantages of this adaptation, from
the opening of a parlor door to the opening of
pen-knifc On the whole, the preferences Of the
right hand are not the result of habit, but is
natural provision, aud is bestowed for very obvi-
Gus purpose, and the property does not depend
on the peculiar distribution of the arteries to the
arm, but the preference is given to the right foot
as well as to the right hand.-4Sir Gtas Bell.
