The New York papers have received the follow

Getfrard, the President of the republic of
| Hayt, is man somewhat advanced in years; his
hairs are grey, and he has the appearance of hav-
ing seen good deal of life. He is at least fifty
| years old. His manners very popular, and he
is favorite of the people-so much So indeed that
once before he was on the point of being arrested

the contrary, favors it, and endeavors to gain the
confidence and esteem of strangers. He is nearly

Rear Admiral Mohammed Pacha, in his twelfth
letter to the "Gifted Abel Ben Hassan,' which is
published to the world in the New York Evening
| Post speaks of the town of Boston, its men and
women, and poetry. He says:
Boston, by delicious Abel is the centre of the in
tellectual universe around which the lesser lumi-
na,ies Of thought revove, and shine with reflected
! light. Boston is the brain of the Western Hemis-
phere; so largely and rapidly developed that occi-
| dental hydrocephaus is to be feared. The great
| river of thought streaming down from Confucius,
moses; budoah, Socrates, kepler and Bacon, has
| been damned up in Boston, has spread out into a
pool In Boston Common, and the Men of Boston pad
die IN 1T in the summer and skate on it during the
winter. The men of Boston have renowned the
world and the flesh. They have given up such base
| pursuits as commerce, manufactures, and money!
getting of every sort. They drive shrewd bar
gains or fast horses but employ all their time and
energy in the business ofself-development like the
side oxen are thrown completely in the shade
ana dwindle into lnferi0rity. The import trade
| OF Boston is confined principally to green
tea; the exports of Boston consist chiefly
OF lectures, written by the men of Boston, and de-
lvered at different points in the country by travel
ing agents, bred in Boston, intellectual bagmen,
1 who make very handsome thing of it. have
heard of one of these distributors of knowledge
| income throughout
the land an essay on the Physical characteristics
| OF the Tub of Diogenes, subject which of course
! afforded an opportunity for humorous attack on
hoops, and a mastery refutation of the Platonic
| theory of Eons.
The Women of Boston are even more intellectual
than the Men of Boston. They never eat lin pub
lic) and heartily despise the waste of time involved
| In dressing in good taste. Their conversation is
| profoundly learned and, to those who can under
stand 1t, very entertaining. When talking with
the Men of Boston, they employ Latin as a vehicle
of narration, Greek to define the nicer shades OF
phiosophic analysis, and Sanscrit as a channel for
| the now OF their emotions. When conversing with
men not OF Boston, they make of the Boston da-
lect OF the English language to covey their theories
upon such pleasing topics as the Digamma of Homer
or the authorship of Junius.
THE "STRANGE DIsEAsE"-The appearance of a
strange disease at Providence R. has been noticed
communication to the journal of Commerce signed
"John Gaul BOSNIAN" says: This affection appar-
emily OF recent appearance in Providence, is, it
seems to me, identical with the "Malignant Pustue'
(Pustue Maligne) familiar to the French, the
origin of which is disputed. Some claim that it is
the result OF contact with the virus from the dsor
gained material collected in animals DESTROYED BY
malignant diseases; Others that the gaseous efuva
and mephitic emanatons rising from decayed
animal and vegetable matter produce it by absorp-
tion. Collected information shows that both of
these origins are traceabe.
From its similarity, it has been mistaken for
malignant Erysipeas The only curative measures
thus far employed have been free ncison through
the entire tissue involved, and cauterzation either
with lunar caustic or the actual cautery. A number
of cases have occurred in Brookyn,-some termi-
mating fatally.
Concerning it, there is but little written in the
English language. There may be more isolated
articles IN print, but have met only with one, a
small pamphlet, giving glossary of its general
character, and synopsis of cases successfully
treated.
The pustule seeks the vicinity of some mucous
surface, as the lining of the eyes, nose and mouth,
spreads towards that to which it is nearest nvolv-
ing it. 1t is found more rarely the body than on
the face and neck.
In the experience of celebrated surgeon of your
city, no case, seasonaby discovered aud fairly in
ciscd, has proved fatal.

Road in place of Mr.. g. d. Allsup, who has held the
