(1 mar 1 jy The Ural it's Vi oi k Iii Sleep. J SoMN?MiOJf.iSM is ori unmistakable form of unconscious cerebration. Here, while consciousness is wholly dormant, tho brain performs occssfuhnlly the most brilliant operation?. Coleridge's poem of "Kublu Khan," bomposed in opiate sleep, is an instance of" its achievements in the realm of pure iinngiuatiou. Many cases are recorded of students rising at night, seeking their desks; arid there vrritiHg down w.olo columns of algebra-, ib calculations, solutions of geometric prubl?uis, nnd opinions on difficult cases of law: Cubatlis says, that Condillac brought continually to a conclusion at uiglit in his ?^p; the fcnsonlngs of the day. In all such cases the work done utdeep seems bettor than that dune in waking ho??r?; nay there is no lack of anecdotes which would point to the pos sibility of persons in uu unconscious stato accotnplinhing things beyond their ordinary powers altogether. Tho mus eal o- strength ttf mull iu Fomnnuibulism and delirium, their power of balancing themselves on roofs, of finding thoir way in the dark, arc physical advantages re k-rvcd lor suvh conditions, Abnormal acutcucas of hearing is also a well-known accompaniment of them ; and in tfiis relation wl- must understand the marvel ous M??ry Vouched for Ly "ho late Sir Kdwaid t'odiington. Tho captain id tomnufnd ul a tu:iu-of-war w is one night sleeping in his cabin, with rt Sentinel, ns usual, p.-ted at his dttor. In the ,,.:,>/!!.. t!ri bi^bs l..r.i..i.i riUig his hell, called suddonlv to ttife fe&Hicl, and ?harp;y dctircd him to tell the lien tenant, ul the watch to alter the ship's cuurr-o by ho ninny points. Next uiorn jng thu officer, on greeting tho captain, observed ?hat it was most fortunate ho bad beeii ;,\vure of their position and h.ul given stich nn o^ler, as there had been a M..-take in the reckoning, and of striking a reef. ''I!" said the aston ished captain;. "I gnvo no order; I j slept .soundly all night." The sentinel was summoned, and, of course, testified that the experienced commander had, in some unknown way, learned the peril I of his ship, and saved it. even while iu a I state k>1 absolute uuconssjonsucss. i Whatever iresiUur of truth tnrry be ! found hereafter in the crucible wherein j shall have been tried tho marvels of spirit-rapping, mesojci ism, and hypno tism?u hatevcr rcvclc.tion of furgoti.if ; facts or successful hits at scercts?is un questionably due to the action of uncon scious c-rcbratior.. Thf pcrsoff reduced to u state of coma is liable to receive suggestions from withottt, and these sugg03:i(.ns and ./ticrres ara aftswercd b;' his unconscious bruin out of whatever stores of memory itmu) retain. What a , man in' i i- knew, that rfo utagio has. over i yot enabled I.im to tell ; hut wnat he has once known, and in his conscious hours has forgotten, t/uit, on the contrary, is often recalled b\ tho suggestive queries of the operator when he :.-> in i state of hypnotism A natural dream snmetjnies I docs as much,.ns wit :ess all t!u dtS'fiv ories of hid Ion frxxtaorcfi, e i"[>vs, ete , mado through droams, generally with tho aid of tho obviou s tu ?c'i:i) :ry of a ghost. GJuor.il Slo3Ji tu nirdttotU that , being in pursuit of Thugs up the coun try, his wife, one morning ur.:mtly on treated hini to rooyi? tfeir tents from t <?<? spot?a loyoly opening in n jungle? where lh<?y had bCctf pit chad tho previ ous evening. She said she had becu haunted ;.i_^*s.t by tho sight of dead men. Information, received during tho day induced tho Gap era 1 to ord r dig uing under the ground whereon they had camped; and beneath Mrs. Slecman's . tent wero found fourteen corpses, victims of the Thugs. It is easily conceivable that the foul otlot of death Suggested to the lady, iir the tfacdffSCious cerebration of her dream, her horrible vision. Drunk onncss is u condition in which the- ouusnnius seif is more or less com pletely obfuscated. I'u't iu which u'tfeou scious corcbrniian goes nu for a long time. Tho proverbial itnpunity with Which drunken inctl fjll without hurt ing Lhomseleea cm un|y bo attributed to tho fact tha' the conscious will does not interfere with tho unconscious iustinct rtf falling on the parts of tho body leaat liable to injury. The same impunity ia enjoyed by persons not .intoxicated, who at tho moment of an accident do not exert any violation in dclermiug which way they shall strike tho ground. All the ludicrous i lories of tho abeeaco of u*i?4 Ol' t'.pvv Uj*41 nr.*? nbrlously? he ex i plained by supposing that their uocou scious tcrcbraiion is blindly fumbiiog to perform tasks needing conscious di rection. And be it remembered that the bro*orb"tn vino vcrilas" is hero in I exact harmony with oar theory. Tho drunken man unconsciously blurts ont tht! triitli, his muddled braiii being un equal to the task of inventing a plausi ble falsehood. The delWous fan of Sbcridno, funnel under a tree, and tell ing tho policeman that he was "Wil-Wil YV ?ber force," reveals at once that the wag, if a little exalted, was by no means realty drttuk. % Stfoh a Joke couid hardly have occurred to an unconscious brain, even one so well accustomed to the pro duction of humor. As in dreams, in toxication never brings new element!! of nature iuto play, b?t o?ly abnormally excites latent one:*. It id otilj a Porson who, when ?r?rik, Solemnly curses the "aggravating properties of inanimate matter," or when he can not fit his latch key is heard muttering, "D?n the ?a turc of .kings!" A noble miser of tho last century revealed his true character and also the state of h? purse whenever he was fuddled by murmuring softly to himself, "I'm very rich! I'm very rich ?" In sober moments he complain ed continually of his limited means. In tho same wny it is tho brutal laborer who in his besotted state thrashes his horso nnd kicks hi* wife: A dftftiknn woman, on the contrary, unless an ha bitual virago, rarely strikes any body. Trf? accustomed vehicle for thes emo tions?her tongue?is the organ of whose services tier miconsteious cerebration avails itself. OFFICIAL. Acts and Joint..
