RUSSIAN SISTERS OF MERCY.

The Journal de SY. Peterabourg of Jan. 25th pub-
lishes the following :
By the instructions of the Empress, the public ware la-
firmed of the departure for the Crimes, of the widows of
mercy of the estoblistiment at St. Petersburg and MOSCOW,
enjoying Her Majesty's patronage. Since their arrival in
the military hospitals in the Crimea, these ladies have coa-
-1 stantly shown a meritorious zeal in the exercise of their
painful functions, directed by their superieur, the widow of
the Counsellor of College, N. P. Raspopoff, who has intro-
duced a strict order int* their labours, and henelf presented
en example of the eompletest abLigation. Madame
Raspopoff having thus fully justified the choice
of the Empress, bus furnished an account in
periodical report', of the ladefatigable labours of the widows
of mercy under her direction ; and lately M. Pirogoff, under
whose orders they have all been placed since their arrival in
the Crimea, has transmitted some detailed accounts upon
their participation in the medical service which he directs.
Her Majesty the Empress having honoured the report of this
celebrated physician with her special attention, has deigned
to order the publication of the part Bleier an account of the
wise Christian charity by which the widows daily signalise
themselves in the military hospitals in the Crimea.

Professor Pirogeff *amuses himself as tones,. :
" The widows of charity arrived at Simplieropol at do
ekes of 1854, and were immediately distributed over the
principal hospitals, including both the state establishments

. .
sad private houses. Notwithstanding the great somber of
wounded brought there after the battle of lakermaan, or
who had beta there sines the battle of the Alma, each of
these unfortunates was surrounded by the atten-
tions of the widows of mercy, who, according to
the direction of the ph, sicians, examined into
the quality tf the Clod, the changes of clothing, rendered
necoseary by the variations of temperature, deeming
wounds, seeing that the medicines were properly takes—
watching, in a word, over all the domestic and medical ar.
rangemeate. The great number of sick, and the perpetual
deleterious nature of the atmosphere, soon sogendsred
contagious typhus; but these widows t f charity, regardlese
of their own danger, or of fatigue and privations, passed
whole days and nights by the bedside s f the dying-Asti*.
fying with wonderful patience not only the true necessities
and real exigencies of those brave men, bat conduceadiai
eves to their weakest fantasies, seeking to alleviate as mach
as possible their cruel sufferings.

war subjected, the hospitals of Simpheropol were full of brave
and intrepid defenders of the fortress. Those the widows of
charity received with a truly Chrittian lore, and throughout
their sojourn is the hospitals, attended thim with maternal
solicitude, assisting the physicians to treat them in the beA
p amble way. They waited not for medical IIIiCILOCt, but
hoatened alone to menage the pain of the sick, end in the
presence of such solicitude the suffering felt their misery
diminish and their mums resaimated.
"The widow Vomits* wee occupied from the first in tits
drafting of wounds in the section of gsogrenes—• locality
likely to prove fatal, on account of the morbid exhalations.
She doss not desire, however, to leave this section, whet*
her exemplary seal is indeed of real utility.
"The widow Paselikowskaia, attached to the military
hospital of Simpheropol, bee constantly assisted at impala-
' bone and other operations. She follows unremittingly the
progress of each wound, and snouts,* with unfailing 'lect-
ure thepreecriptione of the doctors.

" Is the hospice devoted to the most dangerous cum, the

" Is the section devoted to wounded prisoner', the Widow

" The other widows of charity attached to the section at

is itself a striking proof of the elevated and Christian sea-
