WRECKED GENIUS.
A Strange Scene of Mingled Luxury,
Wretchedness, and Squalor.

A Philadelphia special to The New
York Times says The office of Deputy
Caroner Powers was filled the other
day by q throng of curious people
morbidly attracted to the inquest upon
the body of Edward Leonard, the man
who, after sacrificing both genius and
wealth to his appetite for liquor, died
miserably upon the bare floor of his
own home. A visit to the home of
the dead man, No. 244South Eleventh
street, revealed strange scene of
mingled luxury, wretchedness and
squalor. Stretched across two old
chairs in the room in which he died,
I lay the coffin containing the body of
the former man of fortune. In the
library adjoining, his grey-baired wife
was just recovering from the stupor
of a prolonged debauch. The house was
in wretched disorder. Strewn about
the floor and over the bedclothes,
where the dying engineer had suffer
ed in his last delirium, were the con-
fused relics of a s., 600 library, many
of the fine octovos torn and soiled.
On the mantel stood a beautiful crys-
tai wine service, in a cabinet expen-
sively inlaid. 1t was Leonard's gift
to his wife on his return from Europe
two years ago.
In strange contrast with these evil
dences of luxury was the general air
of decay and neglect pervading he
house, the bare patches upon the walls
where the bright wall paper had been
wantonly torn off and never replac-
ed, the dirty crockery and glassware,
and noisome odors that filled the place
from the accumulated dirt and refuse
in the cellar and rooms. The gloomy
picture was heightened by the forlorn
appearance of Leonard's three child
rem, given over to the watchful care
of the unaertaker's female assistant
while their mother slept off her de
| bauch Clara is a bright intelligent
gi2l, fifteen years old, and Florence
and Eddie arc pretty children, but
all bear evidences of parental neglect.
Edward Leonard came here from
/ Vermont in 1877 He was the inven-
tor of a patent fire-eXtinguisher and
various other machines, from the sale
of which he derived q large income.
He lived in excellent style, and main
tanned three servants in his house.
When sober he was an alfable and
pleasant companion Drink was his
curse He became worse and worse,
until no servant would live in his
house for any wages. He ceased
working at his profession entirely,
and he and his wife seemed to aban-
don themselves to drunkenness. They
were frequently very noisy, and the
neighbors complained of them to the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children. Finally Leonard went
to Baltimore, it was said, to enter
reformatory institution, but three
weeks ago he came back and raved
ever since until his death.

Medlclne as Practlced by animals.

NJ G. Delaunay, in recent com
munication to the Biological Society,
observed that medicine, as practiced
by animals, is thoroughly empirical
but the same may be said of that prac-
ticed by inferior human races, or in
other words, by the majority of the
human species. Animals instructive
ly choose such food as is best suited
10 them. NJ Delauhay maintains
that the human race also shows this
instinct, and blames medical men for
not paying sufficient respect to the
likes and dislikes of the patients,
which he believes to be a guide that
may be depended upon.
A large number of animals wash
themselves and bathe as elephants,
stays, birds and ants. In fact, man
may take lessons in hygiene from the
lower animals. Animals get rid of
their parasites by using dust, mud,
clay, etc. Those suffering from fever
restrict their diet, keep quiet, seek
darkness and airy places, drink water
and sometimes plunge into it. When
dog has lost his appetite he eats that
species of grass known as dogs grass
(chienden0, which acts as emetic and
purgative Cats also eat grass. Sheep
and cows, when i'll seek out certain
herbs.
An animal suffering from chronic
rheumatism always keeps, as far as
possible, in the sun. The warrior ants
have regularly organized ambulances.
Latreille cut the antenne of an ant.
and the other ants came and covered
the wounded part with a transparent
fluid secreted from their mouths. If a
chimpanzee be wounded it stops the
bleeding by placing its hand on the
wound, or dressing it with leaves and
grass. Whenan animal has a wounded
leg or arm hanging on, it completes
the amputation by means Of its teeth.
\ dog, on being stung in the muzzle
by viper, was observed to plunge its
head repeatedly for several days into
running water This animal eventual
ly recovered.
\ sporting dog was run over by a
carriage during three weeks in winter
mt remained lying in a brook, where
its feed was taken it. The animal
eventually recovered. A terrier hurt
its right eye; it renamed lying under
counter avoiding light and heat,
although it habitual,y kept close to
the fire. II adopted general treatment
rest and abstinence from food. The
local treatment consisted in licking
the upper surface of the paw, which
1t applied to the wounded eye, again
licking the paw when it became dry.
Animals suffering from traumatic
fever treat themselves by the continu-
ed application of cold, which Mr.
Delaunay considers to be more certain
than any of the other methods
In view of these interesting facts.
we are, he thinks, forced to admit
that hygiene and therapeutics, as
