GOING TO FIGHT 1T OFT.

an accumulation or crush of blood to the
head" 1t may appear paradoxical that
superhuous quantity of blood within the
cranium should destroy life by depriving
the mass of brain of sufficient supply of
arterial blood, yet the fact is sufficiently
clear. The rupture of the cerebral blood
vessel is due to weakness of its coats, which
is the result of general debility or pre-
vious i'll health. In the great majority of
cases there are no prcmonitary symptoms.
The attack may be preceded in certain in
stances by a sense of fright or fullness, vcr
tigo, flushing of the face, etc, but these
symptoms are never of sufficient significance
to warrant the prediction Of an attack
Statistics show that of siyty-three cases
anallzed, with reference to premonitary
symptoms, by Rocheaux, they were present
in only nine, less than fifteen per cent. on
the whole number. The liability of an at
tack increases progressively from the age
of twenty years upward, occurring most
frequently after sixty years of age, which
is due to the increased weakness Of the
coats of blood vessels in old age, and hence
their liability to rupture.
1t is generally supposed that an attack is
usually preceded by strong mental excite
ment or violent physical exertion. This
does not seem to be the case. Although
attacks sometimes follows severe muscular
exercise or mental excitement, in the large
proportion of cases the affection is not in
duced by any obvious exciting cause Gen
drin analysed 176 cases, and found that
81 (over 50 per cent occurred during
sleep, and large share of the others when
the patients were comparatively quiet. An
other popular error is the supposition that
a certain class of persons who have short
necks forid faces, with what is known as q
full habit with considerable embonpoint,
are particularly liable to so-called appo-
ple;ic constitution. Recent researches and
analysis OF large numbers of cases have DE-
veloped the facts that no reliance is to be
placed on these or any other external char
acters as denoting predisposition to apo
plexy, and that the majority Of persons at
tackled are either spare or of ordinary habit
Of body. After patient has suffered one
attack and partially recovered, the condi-
tions which induced it are likely to remain
or to return, and hence there is considerable
liability to recurrence. Physicians there
fore conclude that unless one attack has oc.
Cured there are but few if any physical
signs or premonitory symptoms which vii
warrant the prediction of an attack in any
case. NJ. D.

e City in the Sea.

4 correspondent from Kingston Ja-
maica, writes: In the latter end of the
century, old Port Royal disappeared be-
meath the waves, in an earthquake, leaving
no other memorial behind than these few
patches of reefs In calm and clear even
ings, when there IS not a ripple on the glas-
So surface of the sea, you may look down
into the fifteen fathoms of water, aud sea
emerged houses, churches, and towers, with
sharks swimming quietly il aud out Of the
open windows OF their belfries. The work
Of centuries was destroyed in few mo-
ments by one single convulsive throb of the
thin film on which man has lived and specu-
lated for ages past. An American diving
Company, instigated in their enterprise by
tales of untold wealth buried beneath the
sea By this sudden shock, rescued no treas
ures but the biz bell suspended still in the
beethoven, and donated the same to the
museum Of the island, where it may have
been seen, with many puzzling inscriptions
upon it which nobody as yet has been able
to decipher"

A Sea Serpent in Conflict with Whale.

The Zanzibar correspondent Of the
Western Morning -Ae1rS, writing under
date of October 18th, says: The bark
Pauline has arrived at Zanzibar, with coal
for her Majesty's ships. When off Cape
St. Rogue, South America, a sight was
presented that made the crew aghast-
nothing less than great sea serpent in
conflict with whale 1t had wound itself
twice around the whale and was twiriing
it with tremendous velocity, lashing the
water into foam. The noise could be dis
tinctly heard on board, and after battling
for some time both disappeared. The
serpent's length can be imagined 1t had
two coils around full sized sperm whale,
with thirty feet clear al each end It's
diameter was from three to four feet They
saw it twice afterward Once it came very
close to the ship, raised itself about sixty
feet out of the water, as If about TO attack
them. l have questioned men and officers
trying to find any discrepancy between
their statements, but am convert 10 the
belief that it Was seen" Another naval
officer writes to the IfeSteTn No5wing Ne1rs
to precisely the same effect and the officers
of her Majesty's ships ct the station arc
said to be convinced Of the truth of the
story.

a Rare Cattle Disease Appears in This
State.

The Greencastle (Pa.) Echo contains the
following About ten day since Il valua-
bic cow belonging TO DR.. David L. Martin,
of Middleburg, was taken sick and acted in
such a curious manner as to attract the at
tention of himself and neighbors On ex-
animation it was discovered that the one
side of her lower jaw was barred of hair for
about two inches, caused by the rapid fric-
ton from rubbing on the fence, and that
her neck was very much swollen. The
COW acted as if crazy, and continued rub
bing her jaw on the fence for several days,
when she suddenly died, Mr. Martin at
once proceeded to haul her carcass to the
woods, and was followed by his watch dog,
who frequently smelled Of the dead body,
and shortly after returning home the dog
Was taken with the disease, acted in the
same manner rs the COW, and died in feg
hours. Mr. Martin became alarmed and
called in veterinary surgeon to examine
the dead bodies, who pronounced the disease
mad itch which is fatal to all animals that
contract it 1t Is very rare in the United
States, aud these are the first cases that
have ever occurred in this part of the coun-
