Illusions from Delirium Tremens.

That disorder called ReIir1'una frenens,
or vulgarly uue dre'ts, is commonly ir-
Luced by continued excess in the use of in
toxicating liquors, or poisonous drugs. 1t
is disorder Intimately connected with a
dsrangcnent OF the digestive functions
So long as "a person can take food. he is
comparatively secure against the disease,
but when his stomach rejects common
nourishmcnt. and he persists in taking
stimulauts, the effects are for the most
part speedily visible. The FIRST symptom
is commonly slight arrangement Of the
healthy powers Of the senses of seeing and
hearing A ringing in the ears takes
place. then any common noise, such as
the rattle of q carriage OH the street. as
ssmes, TO the bearing. a particular sound,
arranges itself into particular tune per-
haps, or certain words. which haunt the
sufferer, sno are by-and-by rung into his
ears on thc recurrence of every uoisc-
The proverb. ''As the fool thinks so the
bell thinks" become applicable i'll his case.
His sense Of seeing, in the meantime, be-
gings to show equal disorder, and figures
flost before him pcrpetually whcn his eyes
are closed at night BY day, also. objects
seem to move before him that are really
stationary The sense of touch, taste and
smell, are also involved in confusion. In
this way the disturbance of the sense goes
on increasing always with til. disorder of
the alirnentary functions, until the unhap-
py victim is at last visited most probably
in the twilight, by visionary figures as dis
tinct in outline as living beings, and which
seem to speak to him with voice of life
At first he mistakes them for realities but
soon discovers his error, ano is thrown
into the deepest alarm. If he has the
courage to approach and examine any one
of the ilusory figures, he probably finds
that some fold of drapery, or some shallow,
has been the object converted by his dis
eased sense into the apparition, and he
may he also find that the voice was only
some simple household sound, converted
into the strange speech by his diacrdered
ear; for the senses, at least in the early
stages Of this disease, rather conre,t than
ere4,ts; though the imaginary may differ
widely from the real substance. If reme-
dies arc not applied the patient will grow
worse, till at length the spectral figures
and voices will become entirely the cres-
ton OF his own faasy. aud seem to do or
say anything that may be uppernost in
the fancy at the moment. encouraging him
to self-mnrder of every possible motive
The whole consists merely of his own fan
ciss, bodied forth to him visibly and audi
tly in seeing aud hearing organs. His
own poor head is the sea, of all; there is
nothing spsrt from him --netiiiug Int

TnIEsr WORSE THAN HUNGER. Tho
disturbance to the general system which is
known by the name Of raging thirst is far
more terrible than that Of starvation. and
for this reason: During the abstinence
from food, the organism can still live
upon its own substance; but during ao-
stineace from liquid. the organism has no
such source Of supply Within itself. Men
have been known to endure absolute pri-
vatlon Of food for some weeks, but three
days Of absolute privation Of drink (unlns4
In moist atmosphere) is. perhaps, the
limit of endurance Thirst is the most
atrocious torture ever invented by oriei.-
tai tyrants. It is that which most ef-
fectu"lly times animals. AIr. Estly,
when he had refractory horse always
used thirst as the most effective power Of
coercion, giving little water as the re-
ward for every act of obedience. Tho
histories of shipwrecks paint fearful pic
lures of suffering from thirst. and one o.
the most appalling cases known is the cele-
bratcd imprisonment of one hundred and
forty-six mer in the Black Hole of CAL

THE ANDERSON CASE IN PARLIAMENT.

THE ANDERSON CASE IN PARLIAMENT
In the 1Iuusc of Commons. on the Sth
inst. II. B. Sheridan afforded Lord Pal
mer.ton an opportunity of making an i'm
portant statement relative to the case of
the fugitive slave Anderson. The noble
Viscoun. pointed oat that the judgment
of the Canadian Court Of Queens Bench
render of the prisoner. The issuing of u
warran. for that purpose rested with the
Gcrernor-Gencral. and that parsonage had
received instructions not to deliver Ander-
son to the authorities Of Missouri without
the consent Of the Home Government
There was. therefore, not the slightest
danger that the prisoner would be given
up before the arrival of the writ Of habeos
corpus issued bv the Court Of Queen 5
Bench in this country. His Lordship
said there was no ground for the asser-
ton that the Ashbur,en treaty was OBJ
scurely worded, and in this case
it woald be the duty of the American
authorities TO prove that Anderson had
committed an offence. which. By the law
Of England, was murder. He would not
entsr into the question whether a slave
vas justified in taking the life Of man
who attempted TO arrest him while he wes
endeavoring to escape from the clutches
of bis owner, but he was perfectly salts
fed that no English jury would pronounce
tho act to be murder"
