Painless Death. AN INTERESTING SUGGESTION BY A SCIENTIST. Dr. T. W. E!l*worth, of Hartford, an emi nent sorgeon, has written a paper on the modes of capital punishment, which is given below as published in the New York News A recent writer suggests the nse of chloro form instead of the ropo. He also states that the guillotine and the garrote are scientific, and m advance of hanging, an old bat con venient method of execution. The sebject it worthy of stady in a scientific point of view, irld has advanced in its knowl- life, for as the wbr edge as to the best ways of _ so it onght in the best way of taking it." To understand the most easy mode of dy ing, it is necessary to examine the process of death physiologically, a thing I have not Been done when applied to exceptions. Among the methods of taking life in civilised com munities there is little to choose; for, which- Eier is selected, however diverse to the eye, the jtkyaicaLafennges producing death are the same, and none free from serious objections. In all, death is the result of an insnffloiant supply of pure blood to the brain. This or gan alone is the seat of consciousness, and unless thus supplied at once loses its power of perception in proportion to the deficiency. It is itself almost totally insensible; it may l e cut, torn, or presaed on by the finger with out pain. Consciousness may be lost by the pressure, bnt is restored at once on its remo val. The duty ot the biain is to take cogni zance of impressions made on the nerves which terminate in it, like telegraph wires in the office. These impressions, when thus transmitted to the brain, are acted on by the mmd, and we perceive pleasure, pain, or spe cific sense, according to the nature of the existing canse, or the nerve excited. In de capitation the head loses, almost immediate ly, the blood requisite to invigorate the brain, and faintness ensues, followed by death, just as if blood was taken from any other part of the body. But the blow can not descend so swiftly but that the subject is fully aware of the ' instrument, and the pain in catting thron the spinal marrow, through brief, mnst like a terrific injury of every nerve in the body at once, since every portion is supplied by this nervous cord, and the impression made ou the brain is referred to every part where these nerves terminate. Pain is thus felt, even after the head lies in the basket. Thus there must be a universal sensation perfectly impressed on the sensorium. The vessels can not empty themselves of blood so rapidly but that a moment or two of sensitive life remains, for the brain fee's as long as it lias vitalized blood enough. Now let us look at strangulation. The aim with every executioner is to break the neck. I question much whether the subject is a gainer thereby. Whether the neck be dislo cated or not, death occurs in precisely the same way and iu the same time, while frac ture or dislocation probably adds suffering. Look at the anatomy of the neck. Blood is so necessary for the brain that ionr large ar teries carry the supply; cutting off this vital fluid through any two of these hardly dimin ishes the quantity, owing to their free union within the skull. Two of these arteries, and the largest, run up the neck in bony canals in the spioe; this entirely prohibits compression under any cir cumstances. unless the bone is absolutely crushed, which is never the case in hanging. By this arrangement, when compression of the neck occurs, ths brain is still for several mo ments supplied with blood, capable ot ana- life. Tt taining life. This is provi len face, ved by the black, and entering by the great vertebral arteries, but being unable to escape through the jugu lar veins, which are external and compressed. The person, therefore, must in all cases be conscious some moments after the drop falls. How is it in dislocation of the neck ? This takes place, when it does occur, (which is not usual) at the junction of the two upper bones of the spine, viz., between the atlas and the odontoides, the tooth-like process of the latter often pressing upon or into the medul la oblongata, the most vital point in the body, and it is instantly followed by paraly sis of everything below. But this does not necessarily help the sufferer. The body it is tine, hangs limp and powerless, or affected cnly by spasmodic action from irritation of the upper end of thi cord, independent of the mind; but the brain was yet intact; it receives its supply of blood, and for a moment or two is fully aware of what has occurred. The quietness of the body does not prove death ; it is simply paralysis ; the man can not move, but he can keenly feel. Death act ually in this case takes place from paralysis of the great nerves of respiration which move tho chest and diaphragm so that the blood caunot be aerated. Thus, both in strangula tion simple and in strangulation with fracture, the mechanism is about the same. In the latter we have paralysis of the muscles, and obstruction of the air-tube; bnt this does not hasten death, since, if the man cannot breathe, owing to paralysis of the nerves aDd muscles of respiration, closure of the trachea is of little additional importance, as no air could traverse it if uo rope was around the neck. The gan ote combines the evils of behead ing with those of strangulation. It is not as speedy aa the drop; and the knife severing the spine, while sensation remains to the person who is choked by the ring, most be very distressing. Whan in banging the neck is not broken, there will be more heaving of the chest and convulsive motion, bnt probably no more suffering. I have seen a dozen coses of frac tured neck, and life was prolonged just in proportion to its distance from the brain, and when low down, say at the seventh vertebra, life has been prolonged weeks, the respiratory nerve being intact. When, however, frac ture was above tbe third vertebra, death was said to be instantaneous, though not so absolutely; death ensuing simply for want of breath. Death, to be at all easy, mnst commence in the nervous system, and emphatically in the sensorium. If this is insensible, tbe rest of the body is of no account In lianging, tho pulse often beats ten or fif teen minutes, but tbe subject bos long before tnat time ceased to exist Organic iife may go on some time, as tbe heart is mainly supplied by a different system of nerves from those entering the brain. Thus when the neck is fractured, and to the bystander the man seems dead, he yet lives; and when he supposes him living because the heart beats, he is in point of fact dead. In all these instances there must be a brief bnt severe pain. Let ns now observe tbe way nature effects her object in tbe easier caaes. Among these, apoplexy ia perhaps tha one attended with the smallest suffering, though sometimes when tbe attack is not severs there may for a time be a degree of this. In aggravated cases, or in convulsions proving fatal, there can be none, however formidable the symp toms may appear. Here tbe scat of con sciousness is invaded, and this being lost the person is dead to all intents. Wa may by and by find some narcotic which will certainly and regularly produce the desired result. Opium probably comes as near as anything, as it overwhelms the sensorium first of all, bnt it is irregular in its action; in large doses it sometimes vomits, and in smaller ones great and sensible nervous dis turbance results. The ancients resorted to various methods of poisoning. These have fallen info disuse, perhaps ewiDg to uncertainty and nnreliabie- nea% aa the agent would be affected by many circnmstancsr. What ia wanted is a method at once in stantly destroying sensations, certain in its effects, and impressive to the community. All modes by violence now used are too slow to be painless. Chloroform will not do. It sometimes destroys Hte when we do not de sire th st result, but oftener it is tolerated to a great extent, and hoars might ba required to reach tbe result. Whet I would propose, first views barbarous way, unit l>e attended with absolutely no suffering. Chloroform might be need in ths cell of tbe prisoner to render him insensible, though this is not a necessary preclude to a painless death, for H would be equally so without, bnt it would spare somewhat mental suffering. Then let him be placed so that his bead rests against the muzzle of a loaded cannon, which is then discharged. It takes some time for pain to travel on a nerve: its progress is not I'ostantaneons, and long before ths sensation could reach tha brain it ceases to exist Tbe English destroyed their prisoners in India by blowing them from guns, bat they did it aav. agelv, as they blew away tha body, leaving tbe Lrain for a time capable of receiving sen nations. In ths method proposed by ms this could not occur. Disfigurement of the person might be objected to. bnt this is a small evil In com parison with tbs benefits. There sms ba no pain, because there is nothing which can feel. A bullet through tbe brain, even when hfs is somewhat prolonged, would be far less painful than hanging, because death begins in tha very seat of consciousness, and g< ally, in snch instances, ths loss of conscious- naas is ths first instead of ths last step of dis solution. The sound ef (he gun would announce to a whole city the beginning and the end of an execution, bnt consciousness would have left the victim long before the report had reached the closest bystander: and, however revolting it might appear to the eye. the physiologist would look upon it simply as a quiet lying down to sleep, from which the element of s offering had been wholly eliminated. Savage Courtship. TH£ BLACKS OF AUSTRALIA—NO DELAY IN COURT SHIP -HARD FATE OF THE WOMEN - SOME NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS. Id nothing is the brutality of the aborigi nal black 8 of Austria more clearly shown than in their treatment of their females. Amongst them women are considered as an inferior class, and are used only as beasts of burden, so that it is not at all uncommon to meet a huge black fellow traveling merrily along with no load but his spear or war-clnb, whilst his unfortunate levbra is panting under the weight of their goods and chattels, which she ia compelled to carry from camp to camp. Courtship, aa the precursor to marriage, is un known amongst them. When a warrior is desirous of procuring a wife, he generally ob tains one by giving in exchange for her a sis ter or some other female relative of his own; but if there should happen to be no eligible damsel disengaged in the tribe to which he belong*, then he hovers round the encamp ment ot some other blacks until be gets an oppoit unity of seizing one of their leubras, whom, perhaps, he has seen and admired when unending one of the feasts, or coirobo- ries. His mode of paying his addresses is simple and efficacious. With a blow of his “nnlla-nnlla,” (war club) he stuns the object of his “affections,’' and drags her insensible body away to some retired spot, whence, as soon as she recovers her senses, he brings her h^me to his own gunyah in triumph. Sometimes two join in an expedition for the same purpose, and then for several days they watch the movements of their intended victims, using tbe utmost skill in concealing their presence. When they have obtained the knowledge they require, they wait for a dark, windy night; then quite naked, and car rying only their long “jag-spears, ” they crawl stealthily through tbe bush until they reach the immediate vicinity of the camp tires, in front ot which the girls they are in search of are sleeping. Slowly and silently they creep close enough to distinguish the figure of one of these leubras; then one of tbe intruders stretches out his spear, and inserts its barb, sharply pointed, amongst her very thick, flowing locks; turning the spear slowly round, some of her hair speedily becomes en tangled with it; then with a sudden jerk she is arouaed from her slumber, and as her eyes open she feels tbe point of another weapon pressed against her throat. She neither faints nor screams, she knows well that the slightest attempt at escape or alarm will cause her instant death; so like a sensible woman, she makes a virtue of necessity, and rising silent ly, she follows her captors. They lead her away to a considerable distance, tie her to a tree, and return to ensare their other victim in like manner. Then when they have ac complished their design, they hurry off to their own camp, where they are received with universal applause, and highly honored for their chivalrous exploit. Occasionally an alarm is given, bat even then the wife -steal ers easily escape amidst the confusion, to re new their attempt at some fatare period. When a distinguished warrior carries off a bride from a strange tribe, he will frequently volunteer to undergo “the trial of spears,” in order to prevent the necessity of his people going to war in his defense; then both of the tribes meet and teo of their smartest and strongest young men are picked oat by tbe aggrieved party. These are each provided with three reed-speers, and a “wommera,” or throwing stick; and the offender, armed only with his heiliman (a bark shield) eighteen inches long by about six wide, is led out in front and placed at a distance of forty yards. Then at a signal, the thirty spears are launched at him in rapid succession; these he receives and parries with shield, and so skill ful are the blacks in the use of their weapon*, that very selcom is any wound inflicted. Having successfully passed through this or deal, the warrior is considered to have fairly earned his leubra, and to have atoned for his offence in carrying her off; so the ceremony generally concludes by the two tribes feasting together in perfect harmony. A Remarkable Cure. t St. Louis Democrat, May C.

The girl wa* attended first by Dr. Benkendorfer, then by Dr. Gregory, and afterwards by a physician in Bremen; but none of thorn appeared to benefit her by their treatment. They differed in their opinions as to the character of the disease, and the pa tient in the meantime became emaciated and feeble. She was at last unable to move from a chair in which she rested propped up by pillows. She suffered greatly, her limbs were drawn np, and her mother scarcely dared hop© for her recovery. At this time Brother Eusebius, from Notre Dame, Indiana, called at the house, and, after listening to the description of tbe case by Mrs. Geeban, advised them to &end to Notre Dame for some of the holy water, of which much of late has been published by Catholic papers and magazines. The water cornea from aspring in France, and is believed by the Catholics to effect miraculous cures of various diseases. The water was procured, the girl swallowed small quantities of it, and also applied it to the spots, which are said to have almost in stantly disappeared. The patient and her relatives prayed almost constantly for nine days at th# direction of Brother Eusebios, and at the end of that time the girl, with the exception of a stiffness in one of her knees, was entirely well. That day, Sunday, she went to communion with her sisters, reaching the church with difficulty. As she walked up tbe aisle 9he limped perceptibly, but on passing to tbe door found herself entirely cured and able to walk as ever. The girl ap pears modest and retiring, and confirmed her mother's statement in every particular. It is evident that they both thoroughly believe a miracle has been performed through faith and the holy water, as do also the Catholics living in the neighborhood. never before heard of in the annals of medicine.
