A Paris physician has just published q
pamphlet with the title of The Physical and
Moral Degeneration of the Human Race caused
by Vaccination. The startling theory that
Jenner, who for more than half o century has
enjoyed the reputation of one Of the greatest
benefaetors of humanity that ever existed, was
in fact the principal author of cholera and @
host of modern diseases, has been broaehed be-
fore, but without exciting much attention
Now, however, the Imperial Academy of Medi
cine has placed the subject on their papers for
discussion.

A letter from Kertsch, in French journal,
says that an English officer having paid visit
to the cemetery of Russian church, was
greatly surprised to see a great number Of
newly made graves. As none had been killed,
and no epidemic prevailed in the town, he con-
ceived suspicious and the graves were opened.
He found in them not fewer than fifty magnif-
cent brass guns, quite new, and q large guam
tity of projeetiles and powder.

u DESCRIPTION OF SIERRA LEoNE.-A worthy
weather. beaten old sea captain once gave per-
fectly definite notion CT Sierra Leone, in one
little anecdote. ssSierra Leone, SIR" he said !:
5"Ill tell you what Sierra Leone is like. A black
fellow, sir, goes into the market It's as hot as
well-any thing. He buys a melon for three
farthings- and what does he do with it : The
black fellow, sir, hasa't arag on. He's as bare
as robin. He buyshis melon, cuts it in halves,
and scoops out the middle He sits in one-half,
covers his head with the other, and eats the
middle. That's what he does, sir. Isaw Sierra
Leone in all its tropical glory, cheapness Of pro-
duce, darkness of population, gigantic vegeta-
ton, and primitive state of manners.''

HORRIBLE REyENGE.-Dr Radoliff, who was
fond Of the pleasures of the table, was one after
noon comfortably disposing of a bottle of wine,
when n eountryman entered the room, and
begged him to come Immediately to his wife who
wasdying.
81 can't help it my fine fellow, I can't come
till | have flushed my bottle''
Now it happened that the countryman was a
large strong man, and the doctor very small
one, SO it occurred to the former that his best
plan was to seize the doctor and carry him off
on his shoulders. He did so and while he was
bearing him along, the doctor, bursting with
rage, exclaimed
FsYou villain, RI cure your ,cife." Aud he
was as good as his word.

VAR SPIRIT IN RUSSIA.

a private letter from st. Petersburg to one d
the editors this paper, presents vivid picture
OIL affairs at that capital We do not sympa-
thlze in the strong Russian feelings of the writer,
but we give our readers the following extract,
as it affords a glimpse from the seat of war
The letter is dated June 5th:
81 have now been here three weeks, and seen
many things to interest me- have been we'll
received wherever | have been; and / assure
you that 1 am quite as much q Russian as was
before left the United States. As for the war.
there appears to be but one feeling here among
oil, and that is to fight it out The nation il
with the Emperor, andisresolute never to Weld
to the demands Of the Allies Everything here
is military, and in preparation for war a day
or two since went to the Founding Hospital,
and there found large number of females
making bandages, and others scrapina lint, for
the soldiers that are rounded. / saw letter
from surgeon at Sebastopol, saying that the
battle Of the night before had added sixteen
hundred to their wounded Day before yester-
day went down to Cronstadt on board steamer
That TOOK large party on q pleasure excursion
to see the Allied feet, which lies about five miles
from the forts. We sailed ell around the forts
and the men OF war, which are placed to defend
the town. i was told that there were hundred
Thousand men on board the ships and in the
forts. @
The scene was highly exciting AS we swept
over the water. the band played stirring national
airs, and the multitude on board burst forth in
repeated cheers to the forts and ships, which
were echoed back in loud hurrahs from the
sailors on the ships, and the soldiers in the forts,
while in the distance We could distinctly see the
Allies taking down their spars and topmasss,
preparing for battle. As was gazing.at the
magnificent array, an old gentleman, standing
by me, who could speak English, said, with a
good deal of feeling, 'sWhat scene! Here are
We on pleasure party, sailing over the water
that must soon be red with SO much blood. I
cannot enjoy it.'
Sc An attack is nov hourly expected have
made arrangements to 60 at once to hill about
three miles from the scene of action, where /
can see every shot that is fired do not want
an attack to take place, but il there is to be one
want to see it. I will write you full account
Of it as soon as possible Ny own opinion is
that the Allies will be beaten, but it may be be-
cause want to have them, Or because am not
good judge Of the matter. How long shall
be detained here cannot tell. I may leave for
home by the first of July, though now think
of taking trip to Odessa, Theodosia and Sc
bastopol, to look OF route for a railroad This
would keep me here until November At first I
found it very difficult to get about without an
interpreter. But now can ask for everything

here three or four months, could speak it very
