CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 80, 1869. A PHYSICIAN'S PROBLEMS. Som it a tu ?ni i *m-The Phenomenon of a Doable Life. A Lo adorn physician, in tho intervals of ac? tive professional Ufo, has employed himself with writing a series of essays opon matters that relate to the Brain, Nerve and Mind. The opening paper treat* of those qualities in chil? dren which are derived as a "Natural Heri? tage" from their progenitors, which ls followed bj an Inquiry into "Degenerations in Man." i From the chapter on Somnambulism wc take the following curious examples : Two very instructive cases are quoted bj .Dr. Pritchard lrom Muratori. The first relates to a yoong Italian noble, Signor Augustin, who was accustomed to walk and perform a variety of acts in his sleep. The attacks were usually announced bj a peculiar manner of sleeping on his back, w .h wide-open, staring, unmoved eyes. Vigne*i Marv?le, an eye wit? ness, gives the following account of one occa? sion : "About midnight Signor Augustin drew aside the bedclothes with violence, arose and put ou his clothes. I went up to him and put the light under his eyes; he took no notice of T lt, although bis eyes were open and staring." Alter performing a varlet j of movements about the house, and seeking for many things, ap? pearing occasionally to hear noises that were made, and to bc frightened bj them, "ho went Into the stable, led out his horse, mounted it, and galloped to the house door, at which he knocked several times. Haring taken back his horse he heard a noise which the servants made lu the kitchen and went to the door, holding his car to the key-bole, and appeared to listen attentively." He after? wards went to the billiard room, and enacted the motions of a player. He then went to thc harpsichord and played a few Irregular airs. "Alter having moved about for two hours he went to his room, and threw himself upon the bed, clothed as he was, and the next morning we found him lo the same stale; for, aa often J as his attack came on, he slept afterwards ? from eight to ten hours. The servants declar? ed that they could only pot an end to his par? oxysm? either by tickling the soles of his feet or bj blowing a trumpet In his car." The case or Nogrettl is related bj the same author, and is valuable as having been sepa? rately watched by two physicians. Rlxrhelllnl and PagattL He was a servant, and baa walk? ed In his sleep from his eleventh year. He would often repeat lu his sleep tbc accustomed duties of tho day, and would carry trays and glasses about and spread thc table for dinner with great accuracy, though bis eyes were al? ways firmly closed. Indeed, it WAS apparent that he could not see, as he frequently struck against doors and objects placed lo unaccus? tomed positions. He sometimes carried a can? die; bot a bottle substituted for lt seemed to do as wei 1. His sense of taste appeared to be imperfect, ns he would eat cabbage for salad, drink water for wine, and lake carree for snuff without appearing in any case to detect the substitution. In other cases the souses are more awake, and the Intelligence more active. Castolii, whose case is related by Francisco Soave, was ofbund one night asleep in the act of transla? ting from Italian into French, and looking ont the words from a dictionary. When his candle was extinguished h? arose and went to seek another light. When any ono conversed with him on any subject on which his mind was bent at the time he gare rational answers; bot beseemed to hear nothing that was said to him or near him on other subjects. His eyes alto seemed to be only sensible lo those ob? jects about which he was immediately en ' gaged, ami were quite fixed: so much so thar m reading ho turned the whole head from side to side Instead of thc eyes. One of the most remarkable cases on record is related by the Archbishop of Bordeaux in the "Encyclop?die M?thodique." It was oon esrnlng a young priest at the Catholic Semi? nary, who used to rise in his sleep and write , sermons. Having written a page he would i read lt aloud and make corrections. "I have seen," says the Archbishop, "the beginning of one sf his sermons which ne had written when asleep; it was well composed, but one correc? tion surprised me. Having written at first the WOrdl "c? divin enfant, he had afterwards effaced the word cit ein, and written over lt adorable. Then perceiving that oe could not stand before the last word, ne had dexterously inserted a t, so as to make the word cet. He continued to write, although a card was held between bis eyes and the paper. Did the his? tory stop here we should hara a well-authenti? cated caso of vision without the aid of the Sea. But the collateral circumstances ow that this writing was accomplished not. by sight, bat by a most accurate men? tal representation of toe object to bc attained, as will be further illustrated in our next case. Fdr after he had written a page requiring cor? rection, a piece of blank paper of the exact - sise was substituted tor his own manuscript, ?nd OD that be made the corrections IQ Ute precise situation which thoy would have occu? pied on the original pago. A very astonishing *-part of this report is that which relates to his "writing music in his sleeping state, which, lt ls ?sid, he did with perfect precision. He asked for certain things, and saw and heard such things, bat only such things as bore directly upon the subject ot bis thoughts, He detected (he deceit when water was given to him in? stead of brandy, which be had asked for. Finally, he knew nothing of ali that had trans? pired when ho awoke: but in his next parox? ysm be remembered all accurately, and so lived a sort of double ufo, a phenomenon which we believe to be universal in all the cases of exalted somnambulism." MYSTERIES OE NEW YORK. Tho Way? of the Ootha m I tc Bachelors. The mysteries of a large city are strange and startling. Th? NOW Tork. correspondent of thc Rochester Democrat, referring to mysterious matters occuring occasionally In tho city, calls up the following Interesting reminiscences ; i one most striking Instance was found a few rears ago in the history of George Schuyler. He was of the firm of ll. A G. Schuyler, who were the heaviest railroad operators of the day. They failed. Previous to which they issued a targe amount of spurious stock of the New Haven Railroad (of which one of them was president,)-and their failure of course created great excitement. It also de? veloped the fact that George Schuyler, a 'bachelor of. over fifty, had a wife ?ud Jamlly living up tqwn. His children were grown up, and went by the name of Spicer-that being thc name borne by their father while he was in his own domestic circle. Some time after that, another bachelor, Daniel Angevine by name, died, k ., lng a handsome ?state, the fruit of merchandise. His kindred were about to claim lt. when a widow and family appears soddenly and contests the claim. The testimony went to show that the man known In New York as Danie! Angevine had for years passed lu Williamsburg by the name of Smith, and the claims or Mrs. Smith were sustained by thc courts, I know not how wany similar casca may have occurred, but two ol yery striking ohmmeter have esme be? neath my own observation. Tho first was that of Mr. H. -N. F., once a heavy flour dealer in Weet street. Hs was a bachelor of fifty years or more, an enterprising and successful business man, and an honest and estimable member or the groat community of trade, Every morning he appeared a,t .His store at 7 o'clock, and evory night at dark he left; but whence he came or whither he went noone knew. Nelthor his head clerk ?or his most Intimate friends had any cloe to his abode. Frequently lt was said to him, "Mr. F., you may be taken ill, and we should want to see jon. Where shall we come V "Never mind," was the reply. "If lam taken sick you will fess/from me." If any one pressed the ln onjry, a afoofl. answer was made, and |t was generally understood that Mr. p. desired no allusion to be made to his residence. Some limes attempts were made to track him up, bot he always eluded pursuit in the crowd and darkness of a thronged street, and the off-twenty years mystery was only solved by his death in a manner similar to that of Mr. Schuyler. The second instance occurred last week', and was tn tftls wise; I have for a quar, Ki' ot a century, t\mt is from bis boyhood up, ?own a person named P-. He was a or?et and retiring character, and became a corJirmed bachelor. About five years ago bis father ?B?d, leaving him executor to his estate. He boarded a part of the time lar np town and nart of the time In Brooklyn. During an Ill? ness, to which he was subject three years ago, his ftieada called eu him and pot liking the appearance of the place, advised him to seek another boarding-house. Little did they dream that this was his own establishment. A few weeks ago he sent to this city for a physician, whom ho had known fifteen years, to make him a professional visit. Tho messenger had a rude one-horse wagon, and in this too doc? tor was conveyed to a shabby and dilapidated house in the suburbs of Brooklyn, where he found P- sick-abed and rapidly sinking. His disease was acute and reached a hopeless stage. A woman of rather degraded appear? ance and several children entered the room, P-astonished the physician by the an? nouncement that they were his wife and off? spring. He died next day, and his friends met at tho funeral this strange and moat unex? pected family. Here was a very startling de? nouement. Who, Indeed, knew him as the lively bachelor, mingling in the best of society la this city, could have dreamed that he had a vulgar, Ill-bred wife and family of mlserabte children hidden away from his irlends; and yet this ls but a small specimen of the mysteries and miseries of Now York. FILES OF GO LO. Counting the "Yellow Boys. The transfer of the Sub-Treasury at New York from General Butterfield to Senator Fol? ger has necessitated the counting of the gold in the vaults. The reporters thus got a glimpse at the government strong-box and the piles ot j gold therein, and describe them as follows : j The vaults of the Sub-Treasury arc two In j number, and situated on the main floor of the j building. The sides and roof of each are eight feet of granite masonry and two feet of iron ( plates. Between the plates are musket balls < laid in loose. The floor is thirty feet of ma- J sonry and two feet of iron plates. Between J also with a layer of musket balls. Each vault | ls closed by four Iron doors weighing two tons ( each, and fastened by two combination locks ( to each other. The three Inner doors are ( locked without a key, while the locks on the ( outer ones are operated by means of an lnstru- ( ment about an inch long by half an inch wide, ( which may be carried In a vest pocket. Each < vault ls about twelve feet square. On the sides 1 of each apartment are built ono hundred and < twenty chests of iron, each of thc capacity of ( a quarter ot a million In gold coln. Each chest when Aili is closed by an Iron door, and fas- ] tened with a lock which ls sealed so that the I door cannot be tampered with.without break- I log the seal. j At present there are aboat $75.000,000 in j gold coln and about $10,000 In silver contained 1 in about 150 of the 240 chests. Thc "loose ? cash" Ls la boxes, placed by the respective - tellers In the vaults each night after the close i of the day's business. I Many people are under the impression that I each piece of coin ls counted separately In these examinations, but a little reflection will convince them that this ls an error. One man j could scarcely count $100,000 on an average in f a day, and to examine at this rate would coa- \ sume too much, time, aor would lt be necessary. Each denomination of gold c ls packed separately, and tho bag la- C beUed with a tag, showing tho charac- ( ter of thc solo and the amount. In the pro- J cess of counting one of the sealed chests will : be opened, the contents carried on trucks into c the gold-room, and then ooo bag will be ? counted, and the remainder of the same de- c nomination weighed agalast lt In accurately adjusted scales. Should any perceptible dil- F terence ia weight be noted the contents of thc j deficient bag will be counted, and thus any j error will be guarded against. Should notu- j lng occur to prevent, tho examination will pro- ? grass at the rate of $10,000,000 per day. f Special Roiices. - pkf TO THE PUBLIC-GEORGE LIT- !

RUSSELL'S SOOTHING CORDIAL to offered to the public with an absolute guarantee against all danger from Ks usc. Read thc following certifi? cate? : CHARLESTON, May 10,1868. Mr. J. B. RUSSELL, one of our careful and Intel? ligent Pharmaceutists and Apothecaries, has sub? mitted to roy examination the formula for the preparation of a Soothing Cordial prepared and vended by 1dm. It affords mc pleasure to express a favorable opinion of Its sate and efficient adaptation to thc particular cases of the diseases of children, which lt I? designed to relieve. E. GEDDINGS, M. D. Having had occasion to prescribe RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial in severe cases of Bowel Com? plaints lu children and delicate females, I have be m much pleased with its effects. I consider lt a valuable medicine in all eases, in which lt may lie advisable to avoid the use of anodyne, and par? ticularly for family use, as lt ls perfectly safe. W. T. WitAGG, M. I). CHARLESTON, S. C., 186?. Dear Slr-1 have nsed your Soot liing Cordial for Diarrhoea In teething children, ami find lt a very excellent preparation, lt has a great advantage over most preparations of tho kind In containing no Opium or Narcotic. When these are required they can be added in proportions applicable to thc case. 1 therefore can recommend Its usc In the affec? tions for which lt ls designed. Respectfullv veurs, Ar., T. L. OGIKR, M. D. 1 CHARLESTON, S. C.. 18C8. I certify that I have most successfully used RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial In thc Summer Com? plaints of infants. He has fully exhibited the in? gredients of his remedy, and the tedious method of preparation. I recognize thc prescription containing no anodyne whatever-as a nioit safe and efficacious one kn bowel affections of children. When much pain or restlessness attends the affec? tion, doses of Paregoric can be added to the pre? scribed doses of the Cordial according to thc age of the patient. Thc compound, though more often, acts In an efficient manner without any ad? dition of anodyne. In the DUrrnosa of thc aged, in increased doses, lt ls of great value as a remedy: never disagree? ing with thc stomach-Increasing appetite. Im jr,-roving digestion, and acting aa a slow but ern . kent astringent agent. * W. M. FITCH, If. 1). MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., 1808. Mr. .7. A Russell : DEAI: SIB-I have used your Soothing Cordla: for children extensively in my practice, and most cheerfully testify to its merits. I have found it without an exception, to accomplish all lt claims ?nd consider lt superior to anything In use foi children. Its freedom from anodyne of any kind recoin mends lt as a perfectly safe preparation in tin hands of mothors and Inexperienced nurses. Very respectfullv, Ac, D. R. WILLIAMS, M. D. Made by J. H.
