RUSSIAN CENsoRsHIP.-A correspondent OF
the Voss'c chen Zeitung gives some curious par
ticulars of the Russian censorship of the mails.
If an article is only partially condemned, the
Objectionable part is carefully eradicated with
pumice stone, without injuring what is printed
on the other side. For this purpose number
of soldiers are employed in the Bureau Of Gen.
sure If the article is long, however, and
wholly inadmissible, the scissors are merciless-
ly employed, and both sides, good or bad, dis
appear. The articles which fall under this
ban are generally those which are in any way
tinotured with democracy. -E

ETIQUETTE IN TINES PAsT.-The writer Of
Brief Notes of the Metropolis" which appear
in the Buffalo Courier, in speaking of New York
in times past tells the following anecdote:
"Bunker's Mansion House, Miss Mann's and
Miss Keese's boarding houses, were also dis
tinguished as excellent places of resort In
Miss Ms, etiquette was insisted on till it be-
came to hurried travellers perfect bore dress
coats at dinner was the infexible rule On one
occasion Major Worth was dining, dressed in
military, befrogged frock-co when Miss NJ
said to the waiter, Be careful, Thomas, do not
spill any gravy on Major Worths froch-coat'
Don't be alarmed, madam, if the black rascal
does, / will break his - head was the quick
reply; and some Of the diners were in doubt
whether the Major had not misunderstood Mad
ANS meaning"

PBAoHEs.-We observe the following singu-
lar fact in one of the New Orleans papers:
That eminent physician, DR.. Stone-in
whose blunt sayings there are always deep
thought and sound philosophy-yesterday de-
clared that Hustons movement was worth
thousand quarantines for the health Of New
Orleans. No more scurvy,' said the Doctor.
Eat stewed peaches, if you would keep off in
digestion. Plenty of fruit for the people, and
no yellow fever =
"The statistics Of Gen. Huston's plantation
verify this remark. Before he bought it great
mortality prevailed there. One of its former
owners lost fifty negroes. He whipped his ne
groes whenever they were caught eating peach,
a melon, or an apple. Gen. Huston has one
hundred slaves on his place. He plants thirty
acres in melons. His negroes live in the peach
orchard. He whips them unless they eat the
best and choicest and this they take care to do
There have been but three deaths on the place,
and those were old, obstinate negroes, who
,couldst eat peaches" ......
