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 MEDICINE m
Which is curing distress and pain to an ex ten
han, who cheerfully answered his q
The invalid was her daughter Mana
years of age, who was taken sick i:
last, experiencing violent pains in
having a sore throat, etc. In a day or two
the symptoms changed, and tbe pains extend
ed over her body and limbs, on which dark
red spots appeared showing considerable in
flammation. 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.

Shirtless Socialism.
A SIMNISH ADVOCATE OF ANARCHY.
In Madrid a new weekly paper named Lok
Deaeamiaadoa, hag appeared. Tbe name
meana "Men without Shirt,;” and tbe paper,
like tha firat Revolutionary French paper of the
firat revolution. Lea Sanculottea, declarea it
self the "organ of the lowest social gtra'a.”
Its creed is than given m one of its leading
articles, which for infamous abandon and
reckless disregard of all decency, we have
never seen excelled ;
Anarchy ia oar only formula. Everything
for everybody, from power down to women.
From this beautiful disorder, or rather or
ganized disorder, will result the truest har
mony. The earth and its products being the
property of every one, robbery, usury and av
arice must cease; the family being destroyed
and tree love instituted, there will be ao end
to all public and private prostitution, thus
realizing the ideal of the Greek legislator that
young men should love and respect all their
elders, seeing in every old man a father, and
a mother or a suiter in every woman.
By abolishing that bugbear which is called
God, and reducing his mission to frighten
little children, wo shall pat an end to those
businesses which are called religions, and
which only servo to provide food for those
low comedioas (as Dupuy defines tbe priests,)
whose mission will then only be to deceive
the ignorant This is onr programme. Bat
before patting it into exeeution it ia necessary
to pnrify society, a bleeding is necessary, but
• great, an extraordinary one; it is necessary
to cut off the rotten branches ot the social
tree, in order that tt may grow np lusty and
vigorous. Yon now know onr deal res, onr
