nine years in a dream. Singular Effect of a Bullet Wound on *the Head. A letter from Hullowell, Me., to the Bos ton Herald says: Nodding gently to the zephyrs that ruffle up the surface of tho Kennebec river in this city there lies a staunch looking sloop, with her prow point ing toward the old town landing. At her helm, watching the blue wreaths of smoke ascend heavenwardly from a briarwood pipe, sits a man past tho summer of life. He has a half-soldier, half-sailor api>ear iinee, a keen eye and an intelligent counte nance. His hair is long and hangs nearly to shoulders, curling at the ends. It is yel lowish gray in color, and very thick. A moustache and goatee give him the appear ance of a veteran of Napoleon’s Old Guard, while brass, eagle-emblazoned buttons on his waistcoat and silver badge inlaid with various colored stones, inform one that he was once a soldier in Uncle Sam’s army, and once listened to the ominous zip of the minnio bullets as they chanted their san guinary songs on the tleld of carnage. The name of this man is Lieut. J. N. Coffin. He was born nt Portsmouth, N. 11. in 1820. His life and adventures would fill volumes, and a story of his hairbreadth escapes and thrilling adventures would make scores of juvenile Indian slayers ami embryo Buffalo Bills. When he became old enough his mother sent him to school, and he scarcely missed a day during that period of his life until ho graduated at the Ports mouth High School. California had a fascination for him. and thither ho went and studied law. While in the Golden State war broke out witli Mex ico, and he shouldered his musket, like many of his New England brethren, to do battle in his country’s cause. Ho was at the storm ing of Chepultenec, and entered the Mexi can fortress and made prisoner of the com mander before the colors were pulled down. For this meritorious conduct he was HAM A SERGEANT. This hardy sou of the Granite State fol lowed the ever-varying fortunes of the war. and, at its close, he, with a company of twenty live men, headed by his old Captain in the'Mexican war, John 11. Jackson, who was a Colonel in the late war and who is now, or was recently, employed in the Boston custom house,' started from Panama in a dugout for the city of San Francisco. Lieut. Coffin left the party in Mazatlan and shipped before the mast on a French whaler, and was wrecked in Mazatlan har bor by a tornado. Only nineteen out of a crew of sixty-eight survived. Lieut. Coffin being one of four tiiat reached the shore by swimming. The rest were rescued by the British man-of-war Champion. After spending many years in California he returned to his native State, and when the war lietween the Stab's broke out heen listed as lieutenant in the Thirteenth New Hampshire regiment. While stationed near tho Portsmouth (Va.) navy yard, a stray stiot from the enemy grazed the top of his head. This wound had a most singular ef fect upon his memory. For nine years he lived as one in a dream, and all the events of the war were almost entirely forgotten. He was sent to the hospital' attached to the quartermaster’s department in Alexan dria, Va., and was afterwords transferred to Lincoln Hospital in Washington, I). C. His general health was good, and he had the use of tools in the quartermaster’s depart ment, to which the hospital was attached. Having learned the carpenters’ trade in Portsmouth, N. H., when a boy, the old knack of handling the plane and chisel soon returned to him. All that he did was in a sort of mechanical way. His memory was so fickle that he was obliged to make a note of everything that he wished to re member. If he went down town for a ]>oundof nails or anything else without a memorandum of what he wasufter he never could remember what errand he started on. In 1870 ; when Capt. Hull obtained a com mission lor an Arctic expedition, a friend procured Lieut. Coffin the office of ship’s carpenter on board the Polaris, thinking that a CHANGE OF CLIMATE might be of benefit to hint. Little he thought of the consequences, and the pecu liarities that were to arise. The Polaris started on her ever-memora- We cruise, and Lieut. Coffin gave entire sat isfaction. Hs still adhered to his habit of making nobs:find, fortunately he did,for he would have had no history of nis life fix mi the time he was struck by the stray bullet until the return of his memory, nine years later. It may be remembered that the Polaris that season penetrated farther north than any vessel ever had been before, passing several degrees beyond the supposed “open sea" of Dr. Kane, proving that navigator’s theory a myth. After putting the Polaris in winter quar ters, Capt. Hall made a dog-sledge journey of several weeks toward the north pole He reached latitude 82° 16 , which was the highest point ever reached by any white Mian. On his return, from great' exhaus tion, ho was taken sick and died. It was Lieut. Coffin's sail privilege to make his casket, in which he was placed, and follow his remains to the grave, hundreds of miles further north than any other Christian npulture. On the death of Capt. Hall the command of the Polaris devolved on Capt. Buding ton. It was his intention, as soon as the ship was released from the ice, to push on ns far as he could tho ensuing season. The ship had been so jammed by the ice in her winter quarters as to make her leak very badly, and in a place which could not bo reached to be repaired. It was so late in the season before she was released from tile ice, and the difficulties of proceeding further north in her crippled condition so great that it was thought la st to return home. Accordingly the ship’s head was pointed toward the south and the return voyage begun. The Polaris had not proceeded far when she became embedded m the ice again and drifted south, attached to a large floe, all the time exposed to the danger of lieing crushed to pieces. During a severe gale of wind the ship was in great danger, and preparations were made to abandon her. Provisions were placed on Die floe, and the crew left the ship to trust their livos to the precarious chances of being picker! up some hundreds of miles further south. This was partly accomplished, about liulf of the men being on tho ice when the violence of the gnjc broke the ship's fastenings and whirled her away, and soon the parties were OUT OK SIGHT OK EACH OTHER. The ship was in a sinking condition, but ny gl oat exertions she whs finally ran on shore. Lieut. Coffin was one of the seven men who landed from the ship. They built a shod, or tent, from lumber and old canvas obtained from tho Polaris, in which to pass the winter. While settled in this inhospi table climate the strangest incident in Lieut. Collin’s life took place. For yeu.-s alter being wounded in Virginia be had heon subject to severe headaches, and at divers times was threatened with brain fever. One day when the mercury cuddled down in the vicinity of SO' below i*ro he left the shanty for a short walk on the ico. The pains iii his head were exoru ciatte*, and he longed for relief, iround the ship was a place kept, clear of ico, and by a misstep he fell into the chilling water. With remarkable activity for one dressed for an arctic winter he scrambled out and succeeded in getting hack to the hut, which fortunately was near at hand, before being frozen to death. With the help of his com panions ho removed his clothes and turned How long he slept ho knew not, but when be awoke Ids memory had returned. ‘■Springing from his hunk, he looked wildly around, and erlel out to his companions: “Where is my regiment! Where is the Thirteenth >Vw Hampshire? Am Ia pris oner?” It seemed but five minutes since he was struck down by the enemy’s shot on the green turf of old Virginia, lliscompanions looked ut him in am i,lenient, and began to whisper and shake their heads. Tile cold hath, they thought, had fixed him. It oartainly hud. Ouce more he could re member the cries of battle and the sound of shot and shell, as they sped on their ei ra: and ol death. He put his hand to his heal and thought it strange that no blood came off with it. He aslted nis companions who had taken him prisoner; who liad won the fight, and how it was done. They only looked upon him with charitable commis eration, and assured him that he would soon be ail right. This seemed stranger still, and he THOUGHT THEM ALL LUNATICS. Finally Capt. Budington, who was on board the Polaris, and who had been in formed of the carpenter’s strange actions, sent for him. Imagine Lieut. Coffin’s surprise when, on opening the door of the hut to follow the guidance of the man who delivered Capt. Burling ton’s message, he saw ’(literally) for the first time the towering mountains of ice and the miles upon miles of perpetual snow. This, indeed, was strange. It seemed but a few moments since he was inhaling the fragrant, flower-scented air of old Virginia und saw the green raiment of summer on every hand. Now all was changed, and he could not understand it. Had the bullet killed him, and was this a part of the other world? It certainly reminded him of a scene from Dante's “Inferno,” yet- he seemed the same flesh and blood as he was before being stricken down by the death dealing bullet. He looked and wondered, and the heaven kissing peaks of snow and ice returned his gaze in solemn silence. Arriving before Capt. Budington that gentleman said: “Well, carpenter, they tell me you are a little off; how is it?” “To tell you the truth, Captain, I’m be ginning to think so myself,” replied Lieut. Coffin. “I was wounded about live minutes ago right here on my ” “That’s all right. Coffin; that’s all right; you just go and turn in anil get a good sleep; perhaps that will do you good.” And so ho left the Captain with his head full of strange thoughts. It was useless for him to try to explain anything to his messmates, for they all thought him daft, and when he began to tell how he was wounded, the rest of the men exchanged sly winks, and tapped their heads knowinglv. It was not till after Lieut. Coffin had read the entries made in his note-book for many years back that it began to dawn upon him that he had lived for years in dreamland. He ceased trying to explain things to the ship’s crew, and after a while the affair was forgotten. After many weary months’ waiting for the spring, Lieut. Coffin, with the assistance of First Engineer J. W. Booth and the chief mate, constructed two boats, by which they finally made their way under many dangers to the northern point of Melville buy. about twenty miles below Cape York, where they were finally rescued by a whaler. When Lieut Coffin returned to this coun try he went before the board of medical ex aminers. The old wound on his head was found. He applied for a pension, and by a special act of the Forty-eighth Congress it was granted. He first went to the Togus National Home, but tiring of a life of in activity, he purchased a sloop and now makes his home aboard of her. He is as proud of his boat .as Den. Paine is of the Volunteer, and on any fine day a passer-by on Water street may soe him sitting near the helm enjoying the luxuries of an after noon smoke or fixing something about his much loved sloop. THE VICTIM OF CIGARETTES. They are Largely to Blame for the Death of Young Knevals. From the New York World. When Russell H. Knevals, the medical student, was found dead in bed Thursday at the house of his father, tho late President Arthur’s Conner law jiartnnr, at No. 62 East Fifty eighth street, groundless rumors of suicide and opium poisoning were circu lated. He was more the victim of tobacco in the shape of cigarettes than of anything else. Yesterday Coroner M. J. B. Messemer made an autopsy, rather against the wishes of Sirs. Knevals, and last evening he gave the results of it as fol lows to a reporter: “I found the heart flabby and fattv and a decided enlargement of the liver ami spleen—both the results of the tobacco habit,” be said. “The stomach and kidneys were normal, but the brain was congested. I should say that death ensued from congestion of the brain, aggravated by ‘tobacco heart' and accompanied by a congestive chill. The chill resulted from malaria caused by sewer gas, as the 6treet has been tom up; but as the deceased was a great cigarette smoker I think the habit re sulted in congestion of the brain. “You see it is not every man who can smoke with impunity, and although Mr. Knevals was 28 years old ami a stout man, it resulted in his death. There is nicotine in tobacco, whether manufactured into cigars, cigarettes, chewing or smoking to bacco, and the result is always tho same poison. Stout, dark and sallow people are not as apt to be poisoned as thin, liglit coinplexioned persons—at least that is tho result of my observations at Mount Sinai Hospital, where I have had many internal nervous diseases under my charge. I noticed that nervous men and boys were troubled with inter mittent heart pulsations in greater propor tion to women and girls. In most cases tho males used tobacco and the females did not. The pulsations of the heart would be regu lar in tone and note.say for eight or ton pul sations, and then there would be an inter mission or suspension of two pulsations. The Germans call this ‘tabackhcrz,’ or to bacco heart. Tobacco contains two deadly poisons, nicotine, and empyreumatic oil, lhe antidotes for which are tannin and caf feine, or strong coffee. One drop of nico tine, in a state of concentrated solution, would immediately destroy a dog, and birds perish at the approach of a tube containing the fluid, the mere smell killing them. To bacco moderately taken in any form quiets restlessness, calms mental anil corporal in quietude, and produces a general languor or repose which has great < harms to those habituated to the impression it creates. A liberal use of the narcotic gives rise to con fusion of the head, vertigo, stupor, faintness, nausea, vomiting and a general depression of the nervous and circulatory functions which, if increased, eventuates in alurmiug and even fatal protraf ion, as was the caso with young Knevals. Tho symptoms of its excessive use and notion are severe retching, distressing and continued nausea, a feeble pulse, coolness of the skin, fainting and con vuisions. The symptoms of tobacco heart are a coated tongue, a sluggish pulse and heart, an anxious, haggard expression, heavy bleared eyes with the whites discolored to saffron, and worst of all, the intermittent heart pulsations. “Manufactured tobacco contains more nicotine than the raw material, and combus tion while smoking always increases the quantity. I believe that a pipe which al lows the partial evaporation or absorption of nicotine the best—or rather the least harm less—smoko. The cigar, which allows some evaporation by its wrapper, is far less in jurious than tlie paper-wrapped cigarette, ns the pnp;r neither alisorhs nor permits the evaporation of nicotine. I smoke perhapi ten cigars a day without harm, but I should never think of smoking ten cigarettes, (•rant smoked vast quantities of strong cigars, which only affected liis throat and not his heart, hut few men could have done it Young Knevals is said to have smoked sixty cigarettes a day. That’s a fearful dose. ” The remains of Mr. Knevals were interred at Woodlawn yesterday. “Hope on, hope ever.” How many delicate ladies there are who, while they at tend to their daily duties, do so with ach ing beads, a sense of fullness, pain in the back and depressed spirits, who are “only keeping about,” as the phrase is. Some day they “go into a decline,” aud leave tiieir chi id) on motherless. To such wu would say, “Cheer up.” Timely use of Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription” corrects all female irregularities, weaknesses, and kindred uf fecuons duuly, pleasantly and quickly.
