PeUagra- phenomenon resulting from the
physical operation of climate on the human race,
and winch is equally curious and melancholy to
contemplate, may be seen on large scale IN the
great Hospital Of Milan-the Pallasra of the LON
bardo-Venelia plains. Those who have not cou-
rage to view it in the living body, may form
toeraLe idea of its external character from some
excellent representations IN wax at the Museum
of the University Of Bologna. This horrible ma
lady. or complication of Maadies, has only been
observed during the last sixty Or eighty years,
and is rapidly increasing. The proportion Of the
cases in the hospital is very considerable, sixth
or seventh of the population being affected with
pelagra in those parts Of the country where 1t is
most prevalent. It begins by all erysipelatous
eruption on tho skin, which breaks out in the
spring, continues till the autumn, and disappears
in the winter, chiefly affecting those parts OF the
surface which are habitually exposed to the sun
or air. The cutaneous symbol Of an internal dis
order, is accompanied or preceded by remarka-
BILE debility, lassitude, melancholy, moroseness,
hypOchOndriasm, and not seldom strong pro-
pensity to suicide. Year rolls on after year, and
the cutaneous eruption as we'll as the general dis

shorter intervals in the winter At length the
surface ceases to clear itself, and becomes per-
manently enveloped in thick livid leprous crust.

GENERAL SKRzYNEcKI.-Some of our readers
have doubtless despaired of pronounclng what
would seem the unpronouncable name of this
gallant General, who has thus far sustained the
perilous cause of Poland. A friend who has
supped with Lord Byron, shaken hands with
the late Emperor Alexander, been intimate with
Mavrocordato. and drank sherbet with the Sui
tan, tells US that it is Skreenciske who has done
such wonders before the astOnshed Balkan cross
err De-6itsch.
John Skryznecki was born in Galacia, pro-
vince in southern Poland of considerable extent,
and is now about 44 years of age; he was educat-
ed at Lepo.
In 1906, when Napoleon entered Poland, he
found an exulting welcome in the hearts Of the in.
habitants of that ilI-fated and deeply injured
country. An animated recollection of the ,io-
lence which had suppressed their previous strug-
giles against an odious foreign yoke, an inextiG-
gushabe hatred against the authors of their grev.
ances and oppression, and that ardent love of
liberty so characteristic of this gallant nation, dis
posed them to have hailed with joyful feelings,
not only Napoleon, but'Lucifer himself, had he
proposed to assist them in regaining the indepen-
dence of which they had been'so unjustly deprlv-
ed. Skryznecki was one Of the foremost of the
daring band which hurried to the field to {" strike
tor their affairs and their fires, the green graves
of their ;sires. God and their native laud:' he
abandoned his home and entered the regiment of
infantry commanded by Colonel Malacowski,
now general of division. In 1909, he served
under Prince Joseph Poniatowski through
the celebrated campaign of that year. and was
made captain in the regiment of Constantine
Czartoryski. In the Campaign of Moscow,
1919, he was promoted to battalion, and in
1918 and 1914, repeatedly distinguished him.
self in several very brilliant affairs
AT the battle Of Arcis sur Aube, where the
French were defeated by the Prince of Written.

Report ofthe President and Directors Of the Giles

CONCLUDED.

1coNcLupED.
IL NAV not be unworthy of the attention of the
Stockholders TO avail themselves Of the same oc-
casion, to enable the public, without injury to
the Canal. to use the tow path at the discretion
of the Company, for travelling by other horses,
than those engaged IN tracking the Canal boats.
A better road cannot well be conceived, than a
tow path. as broad as this, furnishes; and mo-
derate toll. not exceeding that of an ordinary
Turnpike, would render this indulgence to the
public expedient, by defraying its necessary cost
to the Company.
In the progress of the use Of the Canal, de-
feet in the Charter Of the Company has been
disclosed, which totally escaped the notice Of
it's trainers: it contains no express provisions for
such bylaws, rules and regulations, for the pre-
servaton Of the works ON the Canal, and the po
lice of its navigation, as all similar corporations
are authorized to pass, IN subOrdinatiOn to the
Constitution aud laws of the United States, and
of the several States in which they exist and are
required u act
There are numerous details relative to the re-
gistration of the boats, the mode Of prOpelling
them, and the use OF the ow-path and lock OF the
%anal, that the general laws of country could
scarcely be expected to reach; but which will be
eminently conducive to the security of the works
of the canal, aud to the peace and comfort Of
those VINO navigate IT, power 10 proVlue theUi,
if not inferriDe from the general conservative
power Of the company, ought somewhere to be
lodged, so that, its aid may be always within the
reach Of the company, and promptly exerted,
under adequate sanctions. The experience Of
many Of the States. and the charters especially,
and bylaws OF all the canal companies to the
North. afford models for the form. extent, and
operation of this power; the expediency of ask
ing for which, is here respectfully suggested to
the general meeting.
1t is presumed that all the other objects, hi
therto sought to be obtained by memorials adj
dressed to the several parties to the charter Of the
Company under the authority of former resolu-
tons Of the stockholders, are still within the
scope OF the authority, conveyed by these resolu-
tons, which, having been once approved, need
not. op the present occasion, be renewed.
In furtherance of one Of the objects sought by
these resolutions, a memorial, in behalf of the
Alexandra Canal Company, was revived at the
last session Of Congress, aud favorable report
obtained, from the Committee on Internal In
provement, to the House Of Representatives,
which was not, however, de6nitively acted upon
