Catalepsy.
Fer the IsTELL'GtxcEtt.
Catalepsy has generally, but improperly,
been considered a disease ; the descriptions
given of it by medical writers de net vary
materially, and when a person is "sudden
ly seized, "' as is usually the case, the
senses and powers of voluntary motion are
as suddenly suspended ; se that the pa
tient remains fixed in the position in which
he happens te be at the moment of seizure,
and the limbs commonly retain any posi
tion into which they may be placed by ex
ternal force, while the action of the heart,
lungs and ether vital functions continue te
be performed with but little or no change,
and after a duration which varies from a
few minutes te hours, or in some cases even
for days, the paroxysm suddenly declines,
and the patient awakens as from a sleep,
with the lcstoratien of all the functions of
the body.
Dutiugthe paroxysm the patient neither
feels, receives impressions from external
objects, nor retains any recollection of
what happened during the lit. These symp
toms constitute what is called " a perfect
paroxysm," yet many of these symptoms
vary in different individuals, and a want
of knowledge in regard te its true nature,
has led many physicians te suppose that
there was a transposition of the senses te
the pit of the stomach and ether points.
Many cases have been recorded by medical
authors in which this transposition of the
senses is said te have existed, but wLich
really only appeared te de se, because the
powers of the patient, te use them at any
point, were net understood, and we as
cribe all the seeming results which were
exhibited in the experiments which were
made te prove that the senses were trais
lated te the pit of the stomach, te the fact
that the physicians who were engaged in
them only directed the attention of the
patient te t'.iat locality. Their patients
could have answered the same questions,'
etc.. just as well if they had divcited their
attention te any ether part of their bodies,
if the effort upon the part of the subject te
de se had been made.
We have frequently witnessed the same
apparent transposition effected by the
will of these who were in a statuvelic or
semnambulic condition, and if these who
are subject catalepsy were taught the true
nature of the condition and their powers
in it, they could cenveita great annoyance
into a blessing that would enable them te
escape many of the ills that their want of
knowledge is heir te. But te give the
reader an idcaef hew the experiments upon
cataleptic patients were conducted, we will
state a case in point. The following is an
extract of the case of Mademoiselle Mala
nic by Dr. Durand of Caen : On October
12, a few days after her first access of som
nambulism, I found the patient in a state
of catalepsy. Having placed my hand en
the epigastiic region, 1 noticed that her
countenance became expressive of pain.
I then placed my lips en the pit of her
stomach and asked her several questions.
Te ray astonishment she answered correct
ly, for although I had read most of the
histories of the kind recorded in different
works, I did net believe one of them. Dur
ing the first examination I made numer
ous experiments, which led me te believe
that there was a transposition of the fice
semes te the stomach." But further, he
gees en te say : " During the cataleptic
state the muscles presented three different
conditions. Sometimes they were all re
laxed, and the limbs could be placed in
any position, which they retained, how
ever fatiguing the position might be ; at
ether times all the muscles were in a state
of rigid contraction ; at ether times they
were relaxed and the limb fell down when
raised from the body."
These conditions of the muscles we have
also frequently seen in persons who were
in a statuvelic condition, and are natural
te this state when the mind of the patient
is net placed upon them, and can be as
sumed by them at pleasure, viz : If the
arm be raised and they de net have their
mind expressly upon, it, it will remain in
that position, simply because it is as easy
for them te have it in that position as in
any ether, and if their attention be called
te it, and the question is asked : Why de
you held your arm in that position ? They
will tell you, with the utmost candor, that
they did net knew that it was raised, and
if they de net, by an express act of their
will change the position, it will remain
there for an indefinite period, no matter
hew awkward it may seem.
The doctor also stated " that there was
no sensibility in any part of the body, ex
cept ever the pit of the stomach, the palms
of the hands, and the soles of the feet,"
simply because her mind was only diverted
te these parts and it is also very evident
that in these experiments the patient be
lieves, or was made te believe, that certain
results would fellow the experiments made
and if she had known her powers, she
could have felt or net, heard or net, or
seen or net, as she pleased, or have
thrown herself out of the condition in an
instant, independent of any one.
It isa great misfortune that the condition
of catalepsy has net been heretofore, mere
thoroughly investigated by the medical
f iculty, as much human misery might have
b ;en prevented if they had learned the
true nature of the condition, and the
natural powers of these who fell into it
for, instead of its being a disease, they
would seen have found that it was the
only true and natural remedy placed by the
creator within the reach of every one and
that it is simply a phenomenon natural te
t'.ie somnambulist, whether natural or ar
tificially induced. Statuvelcnce is the
same condition, induced by the will of the
subject, and all these who enter this con
dition can produce the cataleptic or insen
sible condition in any part of the body at
will and by se doing render it free from
irritation, inflammation pain or spasm as
long as the body or any part of it is kept
in the condition. The relief and geed
resulting from this power te the human
family cannot be estimated and as statu-
velence is the only science that can devel-
epe this remedy it should be taught in es
tablishments instituted by government for
the benefit of the army ar.d navy, and by
individual means for the relief of suffering
humanity. The field is as important as it
is lanje. Who will aid the cause ?

Philadelphia Time?,
Judge Patterson seems te regard it as
the ditty of judges te protect " the best
workers of the ward " when they get into
trouble because of their lawlessness in the
battles of faction in his own party. The
Snyder prosecutions have stamped inefface
able reproach upon the administration of
justice in Lancaster county, and
the pointed admonitions the court and the
officers charged with the prosecution of
criminals have received from the earnest
expressions of honest journals and citizens
in the community that has been shamed
by unpunished violence and ruffianism,
should have called a halt in the further
mockery of justice in the ' name of the
law.
Judge Patterson, however, views the
case differently, and he seems te believe
that multipiying wrongs in the very sanc
tuary of the law may make things right in
the end. Mayer MacGenigle had previ
ously testified in Judge Patterson's court
that it was idle for him toattemgtte main
tain order and peace in Lancaster if of
fenders could escape punishment by polit
ical innuenc3, and he was yesterday again
compelled te testify te Judge Patterson
that the ruffianism that new runs riot in
the political struggles of Lancaster can be
suppressed only by enforcing the penal
ties of the law.
Is it possible that Judge Patterson se
deludes himself as te believe that he can
escape the execration of an honest people
for his apparently deliberate prostitution
of justice te protect a gang of notorious
ruffians who can command the favor of a
few desperate politicians? If he is thus
deluded, he must be sadly estranged from
the chief attributes which should adorn
the judge in holding the scales of justice
between man and man. Was it net enough
that the Snyders blotted the Lancaster
courts without Judge Patterson tramping
down the law before admiring lawlessness
te enable criminals te emerge from prison
before their time, that they might bring
fresh shame upon the community by dis
gracing another office ? Thus will the
people of Lancaster reason with them
selves and the het breath of their resent
ment will be speedily and fearfully felt by
the judge who seems te regard justice as
the mere plaything of political deperadees.
"Distributive Justice."
New Era, Rep.
When Mayer MacGenigle testified in
The New Eka libel suits that he had said
if cases were te be disposed of in the way
the Snyder case had been settled, he could
net preserve order in the city, he told a
truth which was illustrated in a practical
and forcible manner when Judge Patterson
commuted the sentence of the rowdies ar
rested and imprisoned by the mayor from
thirty te three days. The judge admitted
that the offence had been proven by the tes
timony of the mayor and ether eye-witnesses
te the disgraceful proceedings, and
we have no hesitation in saying that the
release of the prisoners, or what is virtual
ly equivalent te their release, was as much
of a surprise te the learned counsel who ap
peared for them as it was te the commu
nity. The judicial interference in this case is
the mere te be regretted, because it will
de mere te shake public confidence in the
"distributive justice" of the court than
all the newspaper criticisms that have been
made en the prostitution of the machinery
of justice by the eScers of the court.
Whether just or unjust, the public will
regard it as a vindication of the truth of
these criticism, and the court thereby has
made itself responsible for any future lack
of confidence in its disposition or ability te
aid the mayor and the police in preserving
order in the city when " the best workers "
in ward politics are involved in unlawful
and disgraceful proceedings.
We heard meie than one respectable
citizen say this morning that if this kind
of "distributive justice " continues te be
distributed by our court, te the paralyza paralyza
tien of the power of the chief magistrate
of the city te suppress disorder, Mayer
MacGenigle will be supported next time
by a unanimous vote of the reputable
voters of the city instead of eight hundred
majority, while the judges, when their
turn comes, will find their majorities cor
respondingly decreased. There is such a
thing as retributive as well as distributive
justice.

A Kinging Indictment.
The Iren Rule of the Thieving Politicians.
Carlisle Herald, Hep.
Governer Heyt is a traitor te his oath
and te the commonwealth he swore te
serve. He has published his dependence
upon powerful aud wealthy criminals ; he
has exhibited his manacled wrists in full
view of Pennsylvania and the whole Atlan
tic coast. A rebel bullet through his
heart would have been preferable a thou
sand times te Kemble's golden hook with
in his jaw. The spectacle of the executive
of the gieat state led captive by men sen
tenced te the penitentiary, will net be seen
forgotten by the poorer classes of our
population. The coal miners will remem
ber that their comrades whom Mr. Gewen
prosecuted were hung without remorse ;
they will also remember that the rich poli
ticians whom Mr. Gewen prosecuted trot
off with four days in Dauplrn county jail.
The workingmen throughout this state
who have been robbed of their little prop
erties by the excessive taxation brought
en them by this vile gang of legislative
plunderers will net forget te whom they
ewe the less of their property and the less
of all their savings. Unfortunately such
rage is apt te go tee far, and we need net
wonder if under such an administration of
the laws, the riots of '77 should find a
repetition, the moment the country feels
again the stress of financial difficulty ; a
possibility no means se remote as many
just new dream. Who put Henry M. Heyt
in his present position we de net knew,
though we need net rack our brains over
much te conjecture very nearly. Who
created Matthew S. Quay and made him
rich is equally beyond our knowledge.
Their comrades in pardoning mercy are net
much better, though Stene and Palmer did
the state some little service at the first.
Dunkel, of course, is net of much account.
