RUSSIAN CRUELTY. The King of Prus-
STA, in his correspondence with VotaiIe, re-
lates the follow ing anecdote of the Car
Peter, as illustrative of Russian despotism:
9" knew Prlntz, the great marshal of the
Court of Prussia, who had been ambassador
to the Gar Peter, in the reign of the late
king. The commission with which he was
charged proving very acceptable, the Prince
was DESTROYS of giving him conspicuous
marks of his satisfaction, and for this pur-
pose a sumptuous banquet was prepared, and
to which Prntz was invited. They drank
brandy, as is customary with the Russians,
and they drank to excess The Gar, who
wished to give particular grace to the en-
tertainment, sent for twenty Of the Strelitz
Guards. who were confined in the prisons of
Petersburg, and for every large bumper
which they drank, this hideous monster
struck off the head of one of those wretch
es. AS particular mark of respect, this
unnatural Prince was DESTROYS of procuring
the ambassador the pleasure, as he termed
it, of trying his skill upon these miserable
creatures. The Gar was disposed to he
angry at his refusal, and could not help be-
traying signs of his displeasure."

scientific HINTS. Ice is the natural
state of water, it is only by the addition of
calOric (heat) that it becomes fluid. The
reason why water in freezing bursts the
closed vessel in which it is contained, or
rises in the form of bulb in an open one, is
because ice is more porous than water, and
therefore occupies more room. A single Gu
bic inch of water, while freezing, expands
with force equal to thirteen tons. The
porous nature of ice accounts for its swim
ming on the surface ofwater Were it no:
for this beautiful exception TO the common
law of nature, by which all bodies contract
on the application ofcold, successive layers
ofic would he formed, and sink TO the hot
tom, till the whole fluid mass would become
one solid body of ice, by which all evapora-
ton would he prevented and vegetables de-
prived of their nSpIishment would wither
and decay; animals would perish from thirst
and cold, and this single change in the laws
of nature would be sufficient to destroy all
living substances.

GENUINE LOVE OF Country. The love
OF country is the love of humanity-a ster-
ling, genuine principle of piety. "If for
get thee, o Jerusalem !" is the lanrpage of
poetry, piety, and patriotism The purity
OF the sentiment, and the fervor of the ex-
preston, is such, that we regard it as much
the etfuslon Of devotional feeling, as the ut
terance of a patriotic declaration. The love
OF country must be an aspiration after those
virtues which are country's blessing and
strength. 1t develops itself in all modes of
good desIe and virtuous cooperation. 1t
is above party, but does not look down upon
party with cynic contempt. He can unite

spirit, and can make party respectable.

Prospective for wisdom. 1t is felt in his
thoughts, and pure in its desires. 1t is de-
llberate in its thoughts, and judcous in its
feelings. 1t Is passion, but it is not ali
passion. 1t has the spring of passion, and
the life of kindly affection but it has also
the nerve of reason, and the siLews of

Crowded meetings, especially in the even

Food. In disorder which affects the
stomach and intestines, all attempts at pre-
vention would be useless, without most
strict attention to food. A fact established
by the experience Of all Europe ind Asia is
that the "Cholera attacks the tppler" and
makes him his first victim. A little excess,
even in wine, exposes to the disease. Lii
guilds of all kinds should he moderately used.
The safest are common tea and teas made
ofdomestic herbs. taken warm. Acid drinks
are pernicious. Cold water if pure, may be
taken in moderate quantity, but when the
weather is hot and the thirst great, the
mouth, the hands, and the face should be
previously washed.
Excess of solid food is sure preparation
for the disease. The best articles of food
are bread, eggs, fresh meat, fresh fish, and
rice. Perfectly good and thoroughly boiled
vegetables stand next, az potatoes, aspara-
gus, eic All uncooked vegetables, as sal
nds, are dangerous. Fruits, unless very
fine, ha! better be avoided. Strawberries,
taken by themselves, or with the addition
of little wine are the least likely to do
mischief Pastry, preserves, pickles, scarce

those of a more delicate habit is indispen-
sable.
What we have already said on the sub
Ject OF ventilation, will make it sufficiently
understood that we believe the pure air OF
the country to be more salutary during the
hot seasen, than that of "A large town. While,
therefore, it is not indispensable to flee the
CITY on the appearance of the Cholera. and
while we doubt not it will pursue a different
course from yellow fever, and infect the
country If 1t does the town, we should ad.
wise those who have the means of selecting
their residence, to quit the frequented walks
OF men, and seek retirement and sequestra-
ton, during the prevalence Of the epidemic.
Finally, we recommend good conscience
and fearless performance Of duty, as the
best OF all preservatives against this disor-
der. 1t is well known TO physicians that the
most tlmd are most frequently the subjects
of epidemic diseases. This is peculiarly
the case with Cholera, because it affects
the nervous system. We, therefore, strong.
ly urge on our fellow citizens, perfect con
fidence in the wisdom and goodness of God
and full assurance that those who perform
His will by the devotion Of their labors tc
the sick and suffering, are taking the suiesI
means to escape the attack of this disease.

The extraordinary alarm which has taken
possession Of our citizens is scarcely par
donable. Almost all the cases can be trac-
ed either to Incorporate habits, or preeXist
ing d'.ease changing to cholera, to excess
ses of exercise or work, to actual fright, or
a constant living in impure air, uniting all
species of infection. All these causes en-
feeble the health,-nave frequently depress-
ed so much the system, as to cause a state
of lethargy, and any disease-typhus, chol-
era, or any other-would necessarily su-
pervene. Let every one attend to his ordi-
nary business, have his premises well air
ed and Glenn, his person warmly clothed,
avoiding any unnecessary places of infec-
ton, and he is iii reality tolerably safe.
In order to relieve the city from a surplus
population but il-accommodated, the Gov
ernor has caused tents for the accommoda-
ton of five hundred people to be erected
on the plains Of Abraham.
All tavefns were ordered on the 10th to
be closed as such during the prevalence of
the disease.

The following article is from an eminent physi-
clan.
Diverse as are opinions of medical men in rela-
to the treatment of those actually suffering under
Cholers, there is so far as know, but one opinion
in relation to the regimen proper to be observed
by those, who would shield themselves from this

a well spent life, are the oply c6ectuai means,
which God has put into our hands. With Glenn

pears amongst us we shall be prepared for it.
Many persons are firmly persuaded that the use
ofalcoholic stimuants iores the body against PES

grounds oil this opinion-but close with quotation
from the report on the cholera morbus,r read at
the Royal Acad Of Medicine, September 10, 1881

An opinion founded on very general err
ror has prevailed respecting the use ofbran-
dy, and hundreds have betaken themselves
to this beverage. We assure the public
that the use of any ardent spirits creates a
tendency in the constitution TO contract the
disease, and that although brandy may he
used us medium for mixing and dssolving
medicines for the sick in Cholera, it is one of
the mostdangerous beverages for the healthy.
We therefore caution all against its use aud

spirltuous liquors whilst in good health.

II is obvious that the disease is diminish
ing in virulence. There have been dis
charged cured two persons, and the conva-
descent are seventeen. Many persons in
town who had been afflicted with the first
symptoms of the disease recovered 10y the
application of the usual remedies, and we
have no doubt that the recoverles will much
increase. A medical gentleman Of extern
sive practice informed us this forenoon, that
the attacks were much less malignant, and
three (onrths of the cases in private prac-
tice might be expected to recover.
