Política Rusa--Testamento de Pedro
el (9r_iirie.
Tomamos de un diario de JVueva, York, el
.siguiente es tracto del plan de dominación Europea dejado por aquel monarca a sus sucesores
en el trono de Rusia, depositado en los archivos
del palacio de Peterhoff, cerca de San Peter-
burgo, y extraído de allí como se vera mas
ai.delaute.
.*'En nombre de la Santísima é indivisible
Trinidad, nos, Pedro él Grande, Emperador y
autócrata de todas las Rusias (etca.), a todos
nuestros descendientes y sucesores en el trono
y gobierno de la nación rusia.
El gran Dios aquien debemos nuestra existencia y nuestra corona- habiéndonos iluminado con su luz y sostenido con su divino apoyo,'1
eta.
(.Continúa Pedro el Grande exponiendo sus
miras, que cree son las de la Providencia, y
considera al pueblo ruso destinado a dominar
,en lo venidero toda la Europa. Funda este
pensamiento en qne, segun él, las naeiones
.europeas, en eu mayor parte, han llegado a un
estado de senectud próximo a la oaducidad, a
la cual se acercan a grandes pasos; de donde
infiere que deberán ser fáciles é indudablemente.conquistadas por un pueblo nuevo y joven,
cuando este ultimo haya llegado aadquirír toda
..su fuerza y desarrollo. .Considera el monarca
.ruso,esta invasion futura de los píílses de Occidente y de Oriente por el Norte como un movimiento periódico detenido por los designios de
da. Providencia, que así ha regenerado, según
el, al pueblo romano por medio de la invasion
,de los bárbaros, Compara estas invasiones de
los hombres polares con las inundaciones del
Ni lo, que en ciertas épocas vienen a fertilizar
■ las tierras acotad s del Egipto; y añade que la
Rusia, que él encontró riachuelo y que dejará
-convertida en un gran rio, llegará & ser bajo
eus sucesores un gran mar que fertilizara a
la Europa estéril i zuda, y cuyas olas inundaran
al continente, apesar de todos las diques que
.puedan oponerles m.inos débiles, si sus deseen-
tes saben dirigir el curso. A este fin.ha dejado las instrucciones que siguen y que recomienda a la atención y a la observación constante
de sus sucesores a la manera que Moisés recomendó ías tablas de la ley al pueblo judio :)
•" I, Mantener a la nación rusa en uu estado
de guerra continuo, para que los so dados estén
aguerridos y siempre dispuestos ; no dejarlos
ílescansar sino para mejorar, la hacienda del
astado;'rehacer los ejércitos y elegir los momentos oportunos para el ataque; hacer servir
de este modo la paz para la guerra, en beneficio
de la prosperidad creciente de la Rusia.
" Ií. Atraer por todos los medios posibles
de entre los pueblos mas adelantados de Europa,
capitanes durante la guerra y sabios durante
la paz, para que la nación rusa participe de
las ventajas de los deoiás paises, sin que pierda
nada de las suyas propias.
" III. No perder ocasión de tomar parte en
cualesquiera negocios y diferencias de Europa,
y sobre todo en los de la Alemania que, como
mas inmediata, interesa mas directamente.
"IV. Dividir la Polonia manteniendo en
ella el desorden y celos continuos ; ganar las
potencias a precio de oro; influir en las dietas,
«rromperlas, a fin de intervenir en las elecciones de loares; hacer nombrar en ellas partidarios, protegerlos, hacer que se introduzcan
allí las tropas rusas y pertenezcan basta que
Pegue la ocasión de fijarse definitivamente
Si las potencias vecinas oponen dificultades,
aplacarlas momentáneamente fraccionando, el
pais, hasta que se pueda tomar de nuevo loque
se hubiere dado.
" V. Tomar lo mas que se pueda a la Sue
eia y saber hacerse atacar por ella, para tener
un pretexto para subyugarla. Para este fin
. aislarla de la Dinamarca, y a la Dim marca de
la Soiza, y nutrir con cuidado sus rivalidades.
11 VI. Casar siempre a los príncipes rusos
con princesas alemanas, para multiplicar las
alianzas de familiar, aproximar Iob intereses, y
unir por eí misma ía Alemania a nuestra causa
multiplicando en elia nuestra influencia.
"VII. Solicitar con preferencia ía alianza
, de la Inglaterra parí, el comercio, como qua es
la potencia que mas necesita de nosotros para
bu marina, y que mas útil puede ser para el
desarrollo de Ja nuestra. Cambiar nuestras
maderas y otras producciones por su oro, y
.establecer entre sus mercaderes, eus marineros
ylos nuaatros relaciones continuas, que instruirán a los de esto país en la navegación y 'el
.comercio.
VIH Estenderse sin descanso hacía oí A7orte
a lo íargo del Báltico, asi como hacia el Sur á
lo largo del Mar Negro.
"'■ IX. Acercarse lo mas posible a Constant! -
nopla y la India-. El que allí reine será el
verdadero soberano del mundo. Por consigui
ente, suscitar guerras continuas ya a los turcos
ya a la Prusia; establecer astilleros sobre el
Mar Negro ; apoderarse poco a poco de aquel
mar, así como del Báltico, lo que es un doble
punto necesario para la consecuencia del proyecto; apresurar la decadencia de 1 a PerBia ;
penetrar hasta el golfo pérsico; restablecer, si
cs posible, por la  Siria,  el   antiguo  comercio
del Levante, y avansar bástala  India,  que es
el punto de depósito del mundo.
" Una vez allí se podra prescindir del oro de
la Inglaterra.
" X' Solicitar y conservar con cuidado la
alianza del Austria ; apoyar aparentemente sus
ideas de monarquía futura sobre la Alemania,
y excitar contra ella cautamente los celos de
los príncipes. Procurar quo soliciten el auxilio de la Rusia los unos ó los otros, y ejercer
sobre.el país una especie de protectorado para
la denominación futura.
" XI. Interesar la .casa de Austria en la
expulsion do los turcos de Europa, y neutralizar sus celos cuando se conquiste a Constant! -
nopla, ya suscitándole una guerra con los antiguos Estados de Europa, ya dándole una parte
de la conquista, que mas tarde se le volverá a
tomar.
XII. Procurar atraerse a todos los griegos
disidentes ó cismáticos, ya en la Hungria, ya
en el Mediodía de la Polonia; hacerse su centro, su apoyo, y establecer de antemano un
predominio universal por una especie do monarquía ó de supremacía sacerdotal: serán
otros tantos amigos ganados entre  los  cnemi-
" XIII. Desmembrada la Suecia, vencida la
Persia, subyugada la Polonia, conquistada la
Turquía, reunidos nuestros ejércitos, guardados por nuestros barcos el Mar Negro y el Mar
Báltico, se puede proponer entonces, separada
y muy secretamente, primero' a la corte de
Versalles, y luego a la de Viena, dividir con
ellas el imperio del universo.
" Si una de ellas acepta, lo que es infalible
halagando su ambición y su amor propio, servirse de elía para aniquilar a la que quede,
empeñando con ella una lucha que no podria
ser dudosa, poseyendo ya la Rusia en propiedad todo el Oriente y una gran parte de la
Europa.
11 XIV. Sí ambas se negasen a admitir la
oferta de la Rusia, lo que no es probable, ser?a
necesario suscitarles diferencias y hacer que
_e agotasen la una a la otra. Aprovechando
entonces un momento decisivo, la Rusia lanzarla sus tropas, de antemano'reunidas, sobre la
Alemania al mismo tiempo que dos fletas considerables saldrían una del mar del Azof y otra
del puerto de Arehangal, cargadas de hordas
asiáticas, convoyadas con las escuadras armadas del Mar Negro y del Mar Báltico. Avanzando por el Mediterráneo y el Océano, inun.
darían a la Francia por una parte y a Alemania por otra, y vencidos aquellos dos paises, el
resto de la Europa pasaría fácilmente y sin
riesgo ninguno [sans coup férir] bajo el yugo.
" Así puede y debe ser subyugada la Europa!
(Esta copia del testamento de Pedro el Grande ha sido sacada de las Memorias ¿del Caballero D'Eon, publicadas en 1836 yre-iactadas
por Mr. Federic Gallardet, con arreglo a los
papeles que le suministró la familia, y a materiales auténticos depositados en los archivos de
negocios extranjeros.
El caballero D:Eon, agregado dos veces al
encargado de negocios de la corte de Versallea
en .Rusia, fue presentado la primera vez en la
corte de Eilisabeth en traje de mujer, con el
nombre de Mademoiselle Liade.Baumont. Xa
joven agregada llevaba su misión especial de
cautivar la benevolencia de Elisabeth, y de
aprovechar la influencia conseguida por sus
cualidades peí sonal es para inducir a la tzarina
a acceder al tratado de Versalles. El éxito fue
completo, y la joven agregada llegó a Ber el
favorito secreto de Elisabeth. Esta intimidad
del caballero con la Emperatriz le facilitó una
capia del testamento de Pedro el Grande. Ej
caballero E'£on volvió a Francia en 1757, encargado por su amiga imperial del acta de su
adsion, al tratado de Versalles. Comunicó
el testamento de Pedro el Grande, 'primero al
abate de Bernis, ministro de negocios extranjeros, y después al mismo rey. Mas este plan
gigantesco de dominación europea concebido
por l'edro Primero, pareció quimérico a los
ministros de Luis XV. He aquí algunas palabras del caballero D'Eon. reproducidas en la
"Vida política del caballero D'Eon," publicada
en 1779 por Lafortelle :)
" Los ministros de Versalles no dieron importancia a esta comunicación, y miraron los
planes como imposibles y quiméricos. En vano desde mi lecho (el caballero D'Eon se habia j
roto una pierna al volver de itusia) redacté y |
envié informes particulares al rey, mariscal de
¿elídele, al abate Berms, al marqués del Hospital, que acababa de ser nombrado embajador !
de «San Petersbuago, y por último al conde de
Broglie, en embajador en Polonia, pai-a declararles que le intención secreta de Ib corte de
Rusia era guarnecer con sus tropas a ía Polonia
a ía muerte inminente de Augusto III, para
hacerse dueña absoluta de la elección del futuro rey, y apoderarse de una parte de su territorio, con arreglo al plan de Pedro el Grande
a ninguna dc mis advertencias se pres'-ó seria
atención, sin duda porque procedían de un
joven ; pero en 1778 se vieron los efectos de la
preocupación que se tenia con respecto a mi
edad "
Un» Impostor.
Con este titulo, un periódico de Arkansas
riñere eon fecha 14 de junio algunaB picardías
dignas de ser conocidas, del Rev. Dr. J.F.
Minor. Hacia un año que este Reverendo
estaba en Montgomery, Estado de Alalama en
donde se habia casado con una joven hermosa
y de una familia respetable. Era uno de los
clérigos de la iglesia Metodista, y para ejercer
su ministerio habia sido debidamente autorizado por el obispo Andrews. La piedad que
aparentaba en   los   repetidos   sermones   que
predicaba, su porte agradable y sus modales :
cristianos lo habian granjeado la simpatía general.
Sin embargo no tardó>en descubrirse qne
habia contraído jnuchasdeudas, y viéndose al
fin apurado por los acrederes, dejó en Montgomery a su mujer y salió para la Florida diciendo
que no tardaría en volver con algunos negros
que tenia en aquel Estado. Hacia apenas un
mes que se habia marchado cuando su mujer
ricibió una carta de Mobila con sello negro, en
la cual al mismo tiempo qua se 1« incluia una
sortija quo a ella había pertenecido so le anunciaba la muerte de su marido, Mrs- Minor
quedó asi privada de todo recurso, y el Rev.
A. R. Winfieldl* proporcionó los medios de
volver a Alabama.
Pronto sin embargo, se descubrió la superchería del Reverendo Minter, que lejos de haber muerto goza de muy buena salud, como lo
atestiguan personas que últimamente la vieron
•n Filadelfia con añadidura de que paseaba
publicamente con otra señora a quien sin duda
habrá logrado'enganar, Para lo que al publico pueda interesar vamos a dar algunas
señales por las cuales se puede reconocer al
clérigo metodista: el Rev. Dr. Minor tiene la
mano izquierda cortada en la*' muñeca; es de
estatura alta y delgado, bastante delicado, y de
fisonomía a pr oposito para engañar.
ecion para  recibirse  los votos, será desde las
ocho de la mañana, y dicha elección será conducida en todos respectos conforme a las leyes
de este Estado.

Xia convención de _templ_l_ y uulocti
En la Convención de Memphis se presentó
Ma. Thrasber, que es el mismo Thrasher ah*
sultoen España por sus méritos dc filibustero;
la resolución   siguiente :
" La Convención considerando que pasan
anualmente diez mil barcos americanos cargados de productos de los Estados meridionales, y
sus retornos, por valor trescientos millones de
duros, por el angosto estrecho que separa a
Cuba de la Florida, y que este comercio debe
inevitablemente aumentarse con el aumento de
la población del Gran Valle del Oeste y la
abertura de las bias de los Istmos para el Pacífico ; y consideaando que la isla de Cuba, por
sus puertos del norte, situados inmediatamente
sobre ésta gran via del comercio de todas las
naciones, domina su entrada y su salida, al
paso que en un circulo de dos millas no hay
diámetro no hay puerto, excepto en Cuba y las
islas ádyaccnies, que pueda servir para estación naval, y que. toda nuestra costa- meridiona]
desde Norfolb hasta el cabo de la Florida, y
desde allí por todo el Golfo de Méjico, no tiene
un puerto americano de primera clase; por
tanto
" La Convención resuelve, que considérala
adquisición de la isla de Cuba importante para
la debida protección de este grande é incesantemente creciente comercio, y para la seguridad
de nuestros aguas meridionales, y recomendamos con urgencia su consideración al pueblo y
a), gobierno de nuestro pais como una cuestión
de necesidad nacional y de supremacía nacional. "
La Convención de 32emphis no se dignó
tomar en consideración la propos.cion de Thrasher, ni aun siquiera remitirla a una comisión

van comprendiendo el achaque de los. los locc
que quieren arruinarlos.

THE future: lips.
BY WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.
How shall I know tliee in the sphere which keeps
The disembodied spirits ofthe dead,
When all of thee that timo could wither, sleeps
And perishes among the dust we tread?
Por I SB&H fcel the sting af ceaseless pain,
Tf there I meet thy gentle spirit not;
Nor h«ar the voice I love, nor read again
In thy serenest eyes the tender .thought.
Will not thy own meek heart demand me there?
That heart whose fondest throbs to me were gh en;
My name on earth was ever in thy prayer,        _
Shall it be banish'd from thy tongue in heaven?
In meadow's fanu'd by heaven's life breathing wind,
In the resplendence of that glowing sphere,
And larger movements of the unfetter'd mind,
Wilt thou forget tiie love that joined us here ?
The love that lived through all tho stormy past,
And meekly with my harsher nature bore,
And deeper grew, and tenderer to the last,
Shall it expire with life and be no more?
A happier lot than mine, and larger light,
Await thee there; for thou hast bowed thy will
In cheerful homage to the rules of right,
And lovest all, and renderest good for ill.
For me the sordid caves iu which I dwell,
. Shrink and consume the haart,as heat'the acroll;
And wrath hath left its scar—that fire of hell
SftS lofc Its frightful scar upon my soul,
Yet, though thou wear's! the glory of the sky,
Wilt thou not keep the same beloved name,
The same fair thoughtful brow, and gentle eye,
Lovlier in heaven's sweet climate, yet the same ?
Shalt thou not teach mc in that calmer home,
The wisdom that I learned so ill in this—
Tbe wisdom which is love—till I become
Thy fit companion in that land of bliss?
Santa Anna, atul Itls Policy,
The editor of the Baltimore American is peculiarly familiar with the affairs of Mexico,
and well acquainted with the statesmen and
people of that country.    He says;
" ¡Santa Anna has always been accustomed
to consider and speak of himself as the "Napoleon of America." It is quite possible that he
considers the moment auspicious to imitate the
example ofthe present Emperor of France,and
to adorn- bis brows with the imperial diadem.
Why should he not^ AVe are sure that the
men who tore his mutilated limb from the
grave in 1845 and dragged it a ;iut the streets
of tbe capital; who hailed him ¡is the saviour
of Mexico in 1847; who hissed him out ofthe
country in 1848; and who took off his horses,
and hitched themselves, like mules, to the vehicle that bore him to the palacb in 1853, will
not hesitate as to any demand he may make
in their hour of humiliating abasement.
"It is true that Iturbide tried the crown on
the Mexican mob and did not find it to fit; but
we must not measure Santa Anna by iturbide.
The former greatly surpasses the latter in capacity. Iturbide was much more of a soldier
than ¡Santa Anra; but Santa Anna is his superior as a statesmau and intriguer. The time,
too, was hostile to Iturbide. Ih. designed to
force an emancipated people, panting tor democracy, into unconditional impi;.'ial.sm. The
shock was too violent; and he feU belore the
sentiment he daringly outraged- But Santa
Anna is notas likely to disgust thi people with
the proposal in 1853 as Iturbide was in 1821.
Thirty three years of incessant revolution, du-
ing which there have been upwi'-ds of thirty
five pronunciamentos,have prepared the people
for their fate. Multitudes are willing to take
submissively any thing that wil! insure them
peace and confirmed order. They have tried
democracy, federalism,centralism., dictatorship,
and federalism again. Nothing remains for
future experience but 'the empire/ A Bonaparte has made it successful in France—why
should not his imitator bewild.r the Mexicans
with a similar pageant in jimeriea!
"Arista has been banished. In quitting the
country, the late constitutional President- declares that he wishes annexation to tbe U. S.(
from which there would cometo Mexico an
inappreciable fountain of riches and prosperity, though there would be lost by it that great
enigma—that quadrature ofthe circle—which
General Santa Anna calls nationality.'
"This, we think.makes up the issue between
the representatives of the two /reat parties
which we have long known to ex t in Mexico
—-the Annexationists and the Nationalists.—
The nationality which relies on aa intelligent
people, aud a c immunity of political sentiment-
has long ceased in our neighboring republic.
The government is a mere fragmentary mob of
impoverished adventurers; but whether the
recalled Santa Anna will be able to supply the
treasury with money, so as to support an army
and consolidate his power, is a secret which
we will not venture to guess. The fortune of
Mexico is that of the faro table. It is a subject
for bets rather than judgment."
EicjTEMEiNT in New Orleans. The citizens of New Orleans were thro\rn into great
excitement by a report cf an intended insurrection of the slaves. A free negro informed
the police and pointed out the ringleader. The
latter was immediately arrested and found to
be heavily armed- He confessed that a plan
had been orgf-nized for 2500 negroes to attack
the city at different points next day, including
the powder magazines, mint, and principal
banks. The city was to be set on fire, which
was to be the signal for the negroes in the
surrounding country to rise. The police tho't
it aecessary to take all precautions, and arrested some twenty other suspected negroes. An
Englishman named ¿Jyson,a tea..her of a negro
school, was arrested as the planner and instigator ofthe attempt. He is in prison, and if
convicted will be hung.

Fanny Fern after the Women.
Fanny was musing one Sunday after the following style,which she has been candid enough
to talk about.    She's a funny boy.
''I have been reading the Bibb today,and it
strikes me that our foremothers were not very
correct old ladies. AVho flirted with the old
serpent! How came Sampson's hair cut off
and his peeper's extinguished! Who perforated Jael's head with tenpenny nails! How came
Jonah sent on a whaling voyage! Who helped Ananias tell fibs! Who put Job up to
sweaung! Who danced John the Baptists
head off his shoulders, hey! I'd like to have
you notice (that's all) what a stock we all
sprung from.
If they wern't teetotally depraved may I never find out which of 'em I descended from! —
They didn't seem to have the least consideration for future generations 'long since unborn.'
Now I don't calculate myself, to feel responsible for their capers. I've read somewhere in
Byron, I believe, that every wash tub must
stand on its own pedestal, or something like
that. I don't believe in saddling my shoulders
with their old fashioned transgressions.
Curious; though, isn't it! the mischief women make in the world! Great pity old A'oah
hadn't put Mrs, Noah adrift when he "took
one of each kind into the ark-'' 1 should rather have stood my chance for a ducking than to
have been shut up with such a promiscuous
men-agerie. Noah was a worthy man, No
mention made of his getting tipsy hut once, I
believe"
Home   Politeness.
A\rhy not be polite! how much does it cost to
say, I thank you! Why not practice it at
home! To your husband, your children, your
domestics! Ifa stranger does you some little-
act of courtesy, how pleasant the smiling acknowledgment! If your huaband—oh ! it's.a
mutter of course—no need of thanks.
Should an acquaintance tread on your dress,
your very best, and by accident tear it, how
profuse you are with your "sever minds—don't
think of it—I don't care at alt." If a husb >nd
does it he gets a frown : ifa child lie is chastized.
Ah! Lhese are little things, say you. They
tell mightily upon the heart, let us assure^you,
little ae they are.
A gentleman stops at a friend's house and
finds it in confusion. "He don't see any thing
to apologize for; never thinks of such matters."
Every thing is all right—cold supper, cold
room, crying children, perfectly comfortable.
Goes home where the wife has been taking care
of the sick ones, and working her life almost
out. Don't see why things can't be kept in
better order: there never were such cross children before.    No apologies accepted at home.
Why not be polite at home! Why not use
freely the golden can of courtesy! How sweet
those little words sound,"I thank you!" or'-yon
are very kind!" Doubly, yes thrice sweet from
the lips we love, when heart smiles make the
eye srarkle with the clear light of affection.
polite to your children. Do you expect
them to be mindful of your welfare! To grow
glad at your approach! To bound away to do
your pleasure before the request is half spoken!
Then with all your dignity and authority mingle politeness: give it a niche in your boase-
hold temple. Only then will you have learned
the true secret of sending out into the world
really "finished" ladies and gentlemen.
AA'hat we say, we say unto all—be polite.
5@"The Duke of Norfolk, the clmirma on
the Beefsteak Club, used to sit at table as long
as he could see: but when the fatal moment of
oblivion arrived,his confidential servant wheeled his master's arm chair into the next room,
and put him to bed. The Duke frequently
dined alone in the coffeeroom. He ate and
drank enormously; and although the landlord*
charged as much as they reasonably could, it
is said they lost money by him. His mean
apparel and vulgar appearance gave rise to various ludicrous mistakes. On one occasion, he
desired a new waiter to whom his person was
not familiar, to bring him a cucumber. The
order not ¡being immediately attended to, he
called to the waiter, who respectfully intimated
that perhaps he was not aware that cucumbers
were expensive.
"How much!" asked the Dufie.
"A guiaea a piece, sir."
"Bring me two," was the reply.
The man went to *he bar—" That shabby
old man in the corner wants two cucumbers."
"Take him a hundred if he asks for them,"
said the landlord.

An exqnlslte Story by Lamartine.
In the tribe of Noggdeh there was a horse
whose fame was spread far and near, and a
Bedouin of another tribe, by the name of Daher
desired to possess it. Having offered in vain
for his camels and his wealth,he at length hit
upon the following device, by which he hoped
to gain the object of his desire:
He resolved to stain his face with the juice
of an herb, to clothe himself in rags, to tie hia
legs and neck together, so as to appear like a
beggar. Thus equipped he went to wait for
Naber, the owner of the horse, who he knew
was to pass that way. When he saw Naber
approaching on his beautiful steed,, he cried
out in a weak voice:
"I am a poor stranger; for three days have I
been unable to move from this spot to seek for
food. I am dying, help me and heaven will
reward you." *
The Bedouin kindly offered to take him up
on his horse and carry him home.
But the rogue replied, "I cannot rise: I have
no strength left."
# Naber, touched with pity, dismounted, led
his horse to the spot, and with great difficulty
set the seeming beggar on his back, But no
sooner did Daher feel himself in the saddle,
than he set spurs to the horse, and galloped off
saying as he did so—
"It is I, Daher. I have got thy horse and
am off with it."
Naber called after him to stop and listen.-—.
Certain of not being pursued, he turned, and
halted at a short distance from Naber,whowas
armed with a spear.
"You have taken my horse," said the latter.
"Since Heaven has willed it, I wish you joy of
it; but I do conjure you never to tell any one
how you obtained it."
"And why not!" said Daher.
"Because," said the noble Arab, " another
man might be really ill, and men would fear to
help him. Vcu would be the cause of many
refusing to perform an act of charity, for fear
of being duped as I have been."
Struck with shame at these words, Daher was
silent for a moment, then springing from the
horse, returned it to its owner, embracing him.
Naber made him accompany him to his tent,
where they spent a few days together and became fast friends for life.
HyDROPHGBU. The Cincinnati Gazette refers to the fact that the number of reported
cases of hydrophobia has been unusually great
the present season, and comments on the subject as follows:
"Now that public attention has been called
to the subject of hydrophobia, it may interest
some to know that an ingenious theory ¡a held
by .-üirit medical   men, which   rejects the idea
that the madness of the biter has any effect¿r
the madness of the bitten, and affirms tha~
drophobia is as likely to result from thebii
a dog in perfect health, as   from   one   tha\ i_    -    _   ,
mad.    2'heir chief reasons are, that the eff<>etg\ ^~ '.^^   "    \ «jo, ==^_
of all other poisons are certain  and doterrn£>        ^ \^^    *N\ •     ^^
nate —co other poison can be received into the"" \ \     \        \
system with impunity—yet hundreds of per|-*
sons have been bitten hy dogs unquestionably
mad, and no evil effects have followed. \a-'
stances have been known where a score of persons have been bit severely by the same dog,
and only one has been affected by hydrophobia.
So many persons have died from hydiophobia
where the animals by whom they were bitten
were never known or even suspected to bemad.
Other poisons have a specific time within which
their opeiation begins and ends—in hydrophobia «here is no such definite period ; :n some
cases ¿ha effect bIiows itself immediately, in
others not till ihe iap»e of months and even
years.
''Teujanimals, tbe dog, wolf, fox and cat;
the hor.ee, ass, mule, cow, sheep and pig, are
all which "re said to be susceptible of this disease, whilst 'he first four only are said to be
able to communicate it. These four have teeth
ofa similar form, capable of making a deeply
punctured would.
"From these facts, the conclusion has been
drawn that hydrophobia is a species of tetanus
resulting from the nature of the wound, and
not from any poison injected into it. Tetanus
or lockjaw, often results from a wound made by
a pointed instrument, like a mnl in the hand
or foot, and the same result has followed other
injuries to the nerves. The two diseases seem
to' bear a general resemblance. Both are spasmodic, both affect the muscles of thethrtat,
both are ottended with the same great excitement ofthe nervous system.
_"The above isa brief synopsis of the opinions of some ingenious members of the medical
profession, which, if established, would go far
to dii-faicish tfee terror which is now felt whenever a person is injured in any way by the bite
ofa dog."

MOTHER of Pearl—is the hard, silvery,
brilliant internal layer of several kinds of shells
particularly oysters, which is often variegated
with changing purple and azure calors. The
large oysters of the Indian seas alone secrete
this coat of sufficient thickness to render their
shells available to the purposes of manufac"
tures. Mother of pearl may be polished by
coleothar of vitriol.
