A DRUNKARD's BRAINS The startling
doctrines taught in "Youmau's Basis of
Prohibition" are fully corroborased by the
following passage from the Boston Aedical
Journal:
"Hyrti, by far the greatest anatomist of
the age, used to cay that he cou d distin.
guish in the darkest room, by one stroke Of
the scalpel, the brain Of an inebriate from
that of the person who had lived soberly.
Now and then he would congratulate his
class upon the possession Of drunkard's s
brain, admirably fitted, from its hardness
and more complete preservation, for the
purposes of demonstration. When the an
atomist wished to preserve human brain
for any length of time, he effects his object
by keeping that organ in a vessel of alco-
hol. From soft, pulpy substance, it then
becomes comparatively hard; but the inc
briate, anticipating the auatomist, begins
the indurating process before death-be-
gins it while the brain remains the conse
Grated temple of the soul-while its deli
cate and gossamer tissues still throb with
the pulses of heaven. born life. Strange
infatuation, thus to desecrate the .god-like !!
Terrible enchantment, that dries up all the
fountains of generous feeling, petri6es all
the tender humanities and sweet charities
of life, leaving only brain Of lead, a heart
of stone. $500.

Camp Diseases.

Soldiers in camp suffer from three dis.
eases-diarrhea, rheumatism, and fever.
The commonest cause of diarrhWa is bad
watel, its cure, complete rest and abstinence
from every kind of food except plain boiled
rice. All ordinary diseases will yield to
this treatment in twenty-four hours or less.
Rheumatism is usually brought on, not by
getting wet, but by remaining in wet
clothes. Hard drinkers are particularly
liable to bad attacks. To avoid rheuma
tism wear flannel and keep digestion sound.
Fevers are generally caught after dark in
the open air: A man going out Sc night
duty should never 60 hungry, aud never
stand still longer than necessary. Good
food and active exercise will generally
keep man we'll unless the air is uucom-
monty deleterious. To cure case of not
very severe fever, nothing seems so efica-
cious as change of air. It is said that
the removal ola patient only few miles
works an immediate improvement in his
condition. In scouting along the edge of
a swamp at night, there is no danger SO
long as the party keeps on the winiward side
OF it. These doctrines are laid down 10
the writings of army surgeons and Of physi-
clans who have given much attention to the
subject discussed, and ought, therefore, to
be- trustworthy.

SAFE ARRIVAL OF THE VICTORIA
This steamer, commanded by Capt. Forbes,
coming from Havana to this port with a
valuable "assorted" cargo, attempting to
pass into Barasaria Bay, on Friday night
got aground, within about mile Of Fort
Livingston.
The next morning, the Federal steamer,
South Carolina "a letter from gentleman
on board says the De Soto) came up within
about three miles of the Victoria, as near
as the blockaders dare venture, on account
of the shallowness of the water, and opened
fire upon the Victoria. Whilst exposed to
this fire at long range, there we're two hun
dred and eighty.6ve shells thrown at her
by the enemy. but all bat two, though
many of them were disagreeably near, fell
short of their aim. The damage done by
those two was very Insignificant.
Relief was dispatched hence on Thurs
day night to the beleaguered steamer, and
she was finally got of, with vessel, cargo,
and everybody on board perfectly safe, and
anchored under the guns of { 3 fort. Part
of her valuable freight has already come
up to the city, and the rest will arrive duly.
Three cheers for the Victoria and Capt.

French Man-ofW War.

The Norfolk oorrespondent.of the Rich
mond Dispatch says: .,ra.
One of the perplexities of the Federals
just now is produced by the constant in
crease in the number aud quality of French
men.of-war on the Southern coast; in fact,
the Southeners share this feeling, though
from different motives There are now five
of the frigates of France in Hampton
Roads, three officers from which came up
yesterday afternoon. Such movements GER
tainly give new strength to late declara.
tions of Northern journals, that the Govern
ment of Napoleon contemplated our prompt
recognition as soon as the provisional gave
place to the permanent Southern govern
ment This and more is probably true
in truth, let me predict, from information
in which liberal confidence may be reposed,
that in less than sixty days at least one
European power will peremptorily demand
commercial privileges in Southern waters.
Another thing: in much briefer space of
time Southern power will raise the block
ade ir certain direction-now it is only
necessary to watch aud pray to see.

AN INTERESTING RELIc.-Dr. Perkins
exhibited at the missionary meeting at Lon
don last week, a copy Of the New Testament
which he found in Persia, which was seven
hundred years old. 1t was written in the
ancient Syriac language (the same spoken
by Jesus Christ when on earth, upon parch.
ment, with reed for a pen. Of course, the
volume was bulky, though not as large as
we should suppose a Testament made in
that way would be. 1t was uotthicker than
Webster's unabridged, and not more
than two thirds as large. Dr.. Perkins
found three or four copies of the. Testament
in this form in that country, which were,
if we understood him, the only written lam
guage that the people had. By the aid of
these he made language for the Nestori-
ans, and instructed them in it for nearly
thirty years DR.. Perkins said also, that
this New Testament, which had been trans
cribed in this rude manner severa! times,
and handed down from the time of Christ,
was in every important respect the same as
the Word which we now have-a remarks

An EXCELLENT DECISION. MIR. Gerad
a gentleman of independent fortune in Ell
gin, England, was in the habit ofsdrinkiug
to excess; and although perfectly rational
when sober, he would become very violent
when intoxicated, accuse his wife Of wish
ing to poison him, getting up plots to make
his servants suspected of theft, and threat,
eniug to shoot his friends. The facts were
laid before the sheriff substitute of Elgin,
and that wise functionary directed the COM
initial of Gerad to q lunatic asylum, as a
furious madman. Mr.. Gerad was confined
and thereupon Immediately
applied to the High Court Of justiciary to
set aside the order for his committal. The
court, however, decided agaiost him, and
at last accounts he still remained in the asy-
lum. -.~.sn. @-,s 4. 5-fisis'r- s-',s..
