Softenipg Of the brain is not unfre-
quently the result of overtasking that
delicate and wonderful organ. South
ey, the poet, died of the disease, and
it is sometimes produced by sensual
excess as well as mental labor. But
according to a distinguished modern
anatomist, hardening Of the brain is
more common than its opposite.
Nothing can be more easy than to in
durate the organ of thought. 1t can
be done either by soaking the con-
tents a dead mans Uranium i'm alco-
hol or by the introduction of liquor in
to the skull of the living subject in
the form Of drains. In short, drunken
ness sometimes hardens the brain du
ring life, as effectually as a bath Of
fourth-proof spirits could solidify it
after death. Hyrth, the celebrated
physiologist, declared that he could
distinguish in the dark, by the resist
ance it offered to his knife, the brain
of drunkard from that of person
who had lived soberly and when he
found hardened brain in the dissect-
ing room, was accustomed to congrat-
ulate the students in his class on
obtaining specimen so thoroughly
prepared for preservation and for tho
purposes of demonstration.


How horrible thus to petrify, a. il
were, the seat of thought, the organ Of
the sonl, while its arteries still throb
with the pulses of life, and its gossa-
mer tissues are permeated and acted
upon by the immortal principle of our
being. Does the inebriate ever re-
fleet that he may be literally walling
his mind out of its God appointed
home! Does he realize, as his ideas
become more and more obtusc, that
the instruments through which they
are developed is hardening that it
must soon loose all flexibility and elias
ITCHY and become utterly powerless
that were it scoopcd from it's skull
now, and given to the surgeons, it
would be the jest of the dissecting
room as a =" drunkard's brain ?" Well

We cannot believe that the treatment of our
soldiers In the Richmond prisons, as repre-
scented by reliable and truthful parties, is the
result of premeditated cruelty on the part of
the rebel Government. Human nature is not
quite so bad as that, even when vitiated by
slavery and perverted by treason. The power
Of retaliation In our hands would make them
afraid to practice such cruelties on their pris-
ouers as are described by officers and men who
have returned from captivity in Dixie. The
most rational explanation of the matter is, that
food, clothing and shelter to Union prisoners
as are necessary to keep them alive.


We know that there have been bread riots
down South, and that the rebel Government
has been compelled to seize the boots and shoes
in the hands of traders in Richmond for the
use of their barefootcd army. We cannot
therefore expect that our soldiers will be sup
piled with comforts, even If their jailors were
disposed to do all in their power for them.


In the North we have an abundance of every
thing, and the experiment is now being tried of
sending down supplies to ameliorate the
condition of the poor fellows who have
been placed by the fortunes Of war in the en-
emy's hands. 1t remains to be seen how this
experiment will succeed. If 1t fails, If the re
hel authorities refuse to allow the blankets,
clothing, medicines, etc., which are sen,
to he used by the Union prisoners, the world
will then know that their terrible sufieringi
have been caused by cruel disposition on tn
part Of their captors. We are not willing
however, to believe that this experiment viii
