the facts little more particularly than we
did before. The small pox is q disease
which is not infectious until after the eruption
has appeared, and mas advanced somewhat
towards maturity, except perhaps in cases
where from improper treatment its regular
appearance or progress has been interrupted.
And although there are no symptoms by
which small pox can be certainly distinguish
ed before the eruption, yet aperson who has
any correct knowledge Of the appearance
assumed by the disease after the eruption,
as well as knowledge of the appearance Of
those diseases which most resemble it, will
at once, and without the least difficulty distin.
guish it when the eruption appears, and be-
fore the disease becomes infectious. Now the
Steam Doctor was called to the case Of Mr..
Herbert Smith, the first which occurred in
Marlborough, just when the eruption was
beginning TO appear. or 10 use his own cx-
preston, when it was :'hat in the skim" Of
course before the disease was communica-
bic, and when any physician who understood
his BUSINESS wonld have distinguished it
and procured measures to be adopted TO pre-.
vent its spread. All those who took the
disease from the wagner that introduced
it into the ncighborhood recovered, so far
as We have learnt. The deaths were among
the subsequent cases. and, of course al
together owing TO the ignorance Of the
steamers who attended the case of Mr.. S.
liza physician of competent knowledge had
seen the case when they did, no death would
have occurred.

Honors to The Brape.-Maior DONALD
FRASER, a most gallant officer of the late
war, received SWORD on Friday from the
hands Of Coz. Marcy, who presented it on
behalf of ON association of gentlemen in
New-York. The sword was presented in
the City Hall, from whence the party re-
paired TO Niblo's, and partook of din
ner, given also in honor of Maj. Fraser.
These honors were dearly earned and
worthily bestowed. We have been so much
accustomed ofla:e to see dinners and plate,
and honors Of all descriptions, squandered
upon worthless individuals, that a scene
like this is refreshing. Major Fraser is as
gallant man as lives. He went into the
army when but STRIPPING. At the battle
of Little York he distinguished himself as
the aid of the lamented General Pike, who
committed to the hands of Fraser that most
affecting letter which was TO be delivered
if he fell to his widow. That widow pre-
scented to Fraser, the sword which her gal
liant husband was welding when he died in
the arms of victory.
Fraser's worth and gallanhy procured
him active employment. Wherever STA
toned, commanding generals sought to at.
tach him to their military suit. At Stoney
Creek he was Gen. Chambers aid, and was
wounded. He was also the aid of Gen.
Brown. AT the memorable sortie of Fort
Erie he was aid to Gen. Porter, and was Sc
verely wounded. AS soon as he recover.
ed he joined Gen. Brown, and remained
in his staff till 1916, when he resigned and
was appointed Consul to st. Croix, and SUBJ
sequently secretary to the commission for
settling the boundaries between the govern
meot and Great Britain.

Turkish notions.-"The harem means
the female part ofthe family Of a Turk, and
this one word is used to avoid the indeco-
rum, in the eyes of "a Mahometan, of men,
tioning his wives or daughters. It is like
wise the name of that part of the house
where the females dwell. The Turks are
so scrupulous to avoid speaking personally
oftheir female relations, that they will some-
times, when obliged to refer to them, say
"my house is Sick" or 'my house sends
compliments to your house,"
"The Mahometans believe that Elijah
never died, and that he is still on the earth
where he is to remain until the coming of
Jesus Christ. They call him Kidder or e.
vergreen, on account Of the everlasting life
which he enjoys, and by which he is kept e.
yer in fourishing condition, in paradise
which, they say, might be taken for heaven
itself. In reference to this Turkish poet
observes, 'keep yourselves from believing
that this world is your home; your home
is in heaven alone; strive therefore, by the
means of virtue to reach that home where
Elias dwells, and where place is prepared
| for you"
"Jian ben Jian, or the Prince of the &C.
Nil, is supposed by the Mahometans to have
been sovereign of the world before the cre-
alton of man, and to have built the pyramids
Of Egypt. He reigned over race, which,
according to the Koran, was created out Of
fire, and therefore refused to submit to a
man who was only created out of earth.
The Mahometans believe that this race, fill
led and governed the earth, for 1000 years
before the creation of Adam, and that upon
refusing obedience to him, they were driv-
en- into distant and remote corner of the
earth, called the mountains of KAT, and con-
fined there as punishment for rebellion. !"
"The Balbussi Koords have most curl.
Gus way of curing wounds. They sew the
wounded man in the skin Of bullock fresh
stripped off the animal, leaving only his
head out; and they leave him in it till the
skin begins to putrifry. This they say ne
er fails to cure the most desperate spear
or sabre wounds. "-RitcHs residence in

sKETCH OF SANTA ANNA.

Some PARTICULARS of this parsonage, derived
from ,ntlemcn init mately acquainted with him,
may be Interesting TO the public.
Santa Anna is 40 years of age, and was
born in the City of Vera Cruz. His father
was Spaniard of old Spain, of respectable
standing though poor; his mother was a
Mexican. He received a common educa-
ton, and at the age of ID or Ia, was taken
into the military family of the then Intend
ant of Vera Cruz, Gen. Davilla, who took a
great fancy to him and brought him up.
He remained with Gen. ID. until about the
year 1920. While with Davilla he was
made Major, and when installed he took
the honors very cody, and on some Of his
friends congratulating him he said, "Simi
hciera diosquisiera aster algo mas" II
you were to make me God, should de-
sire TO be something greater. This trait
developed at so early period of his life in
Dictated the existence of that vaulting ombi-
ton which has ever since characterized his
life.
After serving the Spanish Royal cause
until 1921, he left Vera Cruz turned a.
gainst his old master and benefactor, and
placed himself at the head of some irregu-
lar troops, which he raised on the seacoast,
near Vera Cruz, and which was called Sar-
achos in their language, and which were de.
nominated by him, Cossacks, as they were
all mounted and armed with spears. With
this rude cavalry he besieged Vera Cruz
drove Davilla into the castle of San Juan
d'Ulloa, and after having been repulsed, a.
gain entered at a subsequent period, ant
got entire possession of the city, expelled
the old Spanish troops, and reduced the
power of the mother country in Mexico, tc
: the walls of the casle.
Subsequently to this Davilla is said tc
have obtained an interview with Santa Anna
and told him he was destined to act prom
inent part in the history Of his country; ant
