THE PHENOMENA OF DEATH.
Under What circumstances tae Final
Dissolution Way be a Pleasure.

]
! DR.. Frederic r. Marvin gave the
library club last evening q physician S
view of death, his subject being " The
Physiology of Death" The history Of
death embraces three periods, the fabu-
lous, the superstItious, and the philo-
sophical The fabulous was in mytho-
logical times, in which death was per
sonided Rs goddess Mors, the glance of
whose eye was fatal the supsrstitious
era was that long period in which death
was regarded as an instantaneous change;
q stroke that came and cut of life from
he whole body at once. Ours is the
philosophical age.
The lecturer had experimental on
dogs, to discover the order Of time IN
which the senses die. To one dog he
gave arseneous acid The second died
instantly upon his introducing a needle
into the medulla o5lOngata; and the
third he bled to death. In the last, the
order of death was, sight, taste, smell,
hearing, touch; which established the
fact that senses disappeared in the same
order as they do in sleep.
The human body IS an aggregation Of
cells. Life is the augmentation of these
cells death their disintegration. Each
cell dies for itself Every moment cells
are springing into life. Every moment
cells are dying. Our bodies are COM
posed Of these little points. Take them
a#ay and there is nothing left of Us but
the connecting shreds. There ere dead
cells in your body, and when you are
dead, there viii for some time continue

time be resolved into carbonic acid,
water, and the mineral elements.
The whole surface of our globe, said
the speaker. has been dug over one hun
dred and twenty-eight times to bury its
dead, even not reckoning the long age Of
the world which is given it by modern
science; and re inhale, we feed upon
elements, the very atoms, that have been
living human beings before. The desd
he continued, live again, and we greet
them in the perfume of the city, in the
thousand leaves of the forest.
Death, the doctor says, is painless
There is no moment in our lives in which
molecular death is not going on in us.
The last words of n multitude of persons
indicate that mere disintegration is pain
less. 10 die of cold, after the first agony
is over, is luxury. 20 IS drowning.
The smile of death, the placidity of death,
comes to all features after the rig0r NOR

THE Boston philanthropists have been
indulging their sympathy for murderers
by getting up a petition to save Piper,
convicted of the murder of the little
girl, Mable Young, last summer, in the
tower of one the churches of that city;
but Piper has just made confession of
that bloody deed, as well as of others in
which he was supposed to have had a
hand. The murder was very atrocious
one, and Piper asserted for some time
that he was innocent, but subsequently
stated that the girl had been killed by
the trap-door of the belfry falling acci-
dentally upon her. He now. ccnfesses
that he killed her, actuated by an in
sane desire for blood.

MR.. DONALD G. MrreHELI, 8

Mr.. DONALD G.. MITCHELL, in se-.
spending to the toast o5s-sszi nc d -
at the annual dinner of the New Haven
Chamber of commerce, said, among otIk<
things, that agriculture did not lead to
such ofenses as Belknap's. He was of
the opinion that Belknap did not spring
from the plow. There had been too
much worship of the golden calf in this
country; it was seen recently in the gap
ing crowds at Mr.. Stewards funeral.
Commerce had an object higher than
that Of money-making. Kind deeds and
generosity, not spasmodic, but overflow

better odor to a mans memory than the
following after biers by ex-governors er
