Bedroom Of the Emperor Nicholas.

| The Nord publishes the following details OF
visit made by its correspondent to The bed
room of the Emperor Nicholas at st. Peters
burg. The reader who has had the privilege
of visiting the humble sleeping apartments ten
anted by the great Duke, at Walmer Castle
and Apsley House, will be struck with SINH
larity in simplicity of taste. The person
who acted as my guide, did not say whittier he
was taking me. He conducted me into an
arched room, of very moderate dimensions, and
lighted bS single window, looking into a
court. This room was both study and bed
room. Before the window was placed desk
on which was a pocketbook. halfopen, a few
sheets of paper, and some pens, crumplcd-up
| handkerchief, small statuette of the Prince
| of Wales in the dress of sailor, and q water
color drawing representing children. A straw
! bottonled chair was placed at the desk, which
was much the worse for wear, and bore many
marks of being cut with a penknve. Near
this desk was an old sofa covered with green
leather, with well worn cushions. Opposite,
on o console ornainented with mirror, was b
dtessing-case in leather, the simplicity of which
showed that its owner did not indulge Iii any
refuemeuts of the toilette On the chimney
piece was small tme-piece in black marble
on which stood bust of the Count de Benck-
endorff There was no looking-glass on. the
chimney Half concealed by the time. piece,

In ore corner of the room stood d eohimon

On this bed, which mS guide told Inc to press
with my hand to see how hard 1t was, was a
mattrass covered with leather and pillow
stuffed with hay. There was folded upon the
bed an old grey Uniform cloak, and at the foot
of it, on a well-worn carpet, was pair of mo-

Travelling for Pleasure,
VIEWED MEDICALLY

In the last number Of the Boston Medical
World We fluid some suggestive hints on this
subject, the pith of which We will endeasor to
give in few lines.
The writer thinks that in our country there
is much travel, ostensibly for health where, in
his opinion, the injury far surpasses the gain.
lnexorable Fashion says We must go from our
home in dog-days; aud in obedience to her
mandate, there is rush III all our cities and
towns, froE: the metropolis down to the small
est village to the place where this goddess"
specially presides. This is the season when the
quiet aud comfort Of home are the most health
ful aud Necessary: But, instead of this; we
fnd people determined to exchange the large,
airy, brlck-walled rooms of the town, and the
cool mattress and fine linen, for the heating
cotton, greasy feathers and dirty sheets Of u
tavern, or peut-up village or watering-place,
hotel or boardlng-house. But who, asks the
Doctor, could live through hot summer with
out visiting Nahant, Newport, Saratoga, or
Niagara! He does not deny them an occa-
sional trip to such places, but protests against
taking the hottest season to make these visits,
with the expectation of thereby promoting
health. At the season usually taken, be says,
VIE Souc Va usSSstOu atC tuC ifuSu 0biC W
discharge their functions. They sympathze
with all the other parts Of the body and,
like them, require rest and, he asks, Is this
the time to leave the frugal, wholesome fare at
home, and rush to the gathering places where
every board groans with its life-kllling feasts,
and where the luxuties provided and the excl
ting presence aud example Of hundreds Of
mouths, eager to reward the purse at the ex-
peDse of the stomach, rendet it next to impos-
sible to obey the laws of health where, be-
sides, this poor pack horse, this groaning or
gan, is teased with mineral waters, wines, Bit
te-s, pills, tobacco Juice and tobacco fumes, to
ease itself Of its cumbersome burdens.
DR.. Smith maintains that there is nothing
more delusise than the generally received i'm
preston that people are growing better, be-
cause; as they suppose, they are gaining flesh:
Under tie spasmodic action Of this paraphar-
MALTA Of stimulants, there is often an appear
ance Of more flesh. But it is diseased, not
sound, healthy flesh. For every pound Of such,
nature will be revenged.

MEssRs. BREWSTER AND ELY.-S. B., of
the Springfield Republican. has the following
in relation to the course of these two illustri-
Gus g National Americans " in the Philadel-
phia Convention. 1t will be noticed they
both voted for the new compromise pro-slav-
cry platform, adopte Thursday. Brewster is
for Gardner, and Ely for Law:
Mr.. Brewsters speech in behalf of the Elv
proposition this morning was windy sup
plicatiou to save the Union and the American
party. 1t was vastly heralded, but blew out
faint like a sickly locomotive. He was listen
ed to and laughed at And that is more at.
tention than most of the other speakers re-
ceived.
Mr.. Ely is engineer in Massachusetts for
George Law, and his success in drawing
Brewster and, suppose, one or two others
Of the delegation into turning the grindstope,
is more complimentary to his own shrewdness
than to their brightness Or fidelity to the sem
timents of the Springfield platform

R.nnhlicnn NatfenaI Convension.


Telegraphic accounts from Pistsours' = "rs-
day evening, represent that the attendance
upon the National Republican Convention,on
xhe 22d, bid fair to be far more numerous than
was anticipated. Delegates from twelve
States. and Minnesota. were already there.
Francis P. Blair was talked Of to preside over
the Convention.
An informal meeting was held on Thurs
day evening at the Monongahela House, at
which Gen. Brigham of Michigan, acted as
President, Mr. Darcy of Virginia, as Vice
President, and ]. c. Vaughn of Chicago, and
DR.. ]. w. Stone of Boston. Secretaries
Thee Committees were chosen, one to report
on the permanent organization, and one to re-
port National Executive Committee.
1t is likely that National Committee'con-
posed of one or two from each State, VIII De
appointed, and from them Central Commit
tee will be selected to attend at Washington.
This Committee call the next National Com
vention, which will probably be held in Gin
cinnati. Nobody was spoken of permanently
as the Presidential candidate, and there was
much difference of opinion on the subject.
Salmon P. Chase of Ohio, was talked or
Efforts were being made to form platform on
which the Republicans and Know Nothings
may act together in the Presidential contest.
Leading Americans in this section are in favor
of such move. Some measure of this kind,
it was thought, would be submitted to the
Convention. Mr.. S. N. Wood of Kanzas,
gave an account of the doings in that Terri
tory. 1t is possible that the Convention will
adopt recommendation to Congress to ex-
clude slavery from Kanzas by statutary enact
ment. Joshua R. Giddings and VIM. Allison
were the only members of Congress present,
but there were many ex-members. Mary
land and Kentucky were represented and a
delegate from Missouri is expected. Nineteen
delegates from New York were present.
