A MOnarch's Revenge.

King Rum Bahadoor, according to the
veracious narrative of Captain Thomas
Smith, was mighty sovereign of Ne
paul, who was devotedly attached to one
of his numerous wives. In the height
of his passion the amiable creature he
loved fell i'll of smallpox, and when she
recovered was found to be frightfully
disfgured for life. Rum Bahadoor, in
his Just wrath "went for" at once his
physicians and his gods, and determined
to serve them out properly for taking
his incense and his greenbacks; yet fail
ing to preserve the light of his harem
from ugliness. He resolved to make a
terrible example, and began by fogging
the doctors, and having their noses and
ears cut off. Then came his turn at the
divinities. The vindictive Rum over
whelmed them with abuse and reproach-
ed them with having extorted from him,
under false pretonses, no end of goats,
milk and sweetmeats. Then he had al
his artillery mustered before the palace
and cannonaded the divinities until, al
the end of six-hours' fire, Nepaul was
totally goddess.

Medical Practice.

During the war, the surgeons Of the
Southern army had many cases OF sick
ness to cure and very few drugs to give.
There was scarcely mandatory of
chemicals in the Southern States, and
the blockade made the foreign supply
scanty and dear. The doctors were,
therefore, obliged to experiment on a
large scale. They tried every sort of
vegetable product. They changed, and
in some instances reversed, the old meth
DDS of treatment, because they were
found to conflict with the new remedies.
Lives were necessarily sacrificed in this
enforced search for knowledge, but a
ntimber OF valuable discoveries were
made. It Is said. indeed; thSt medical
practice at the South has been per-
manently changed by the lessons of the
war. In order to collate and perma-
nently record the results of this unique
experience, the doctors have formed a
Southern Surgeons Association, which
has just held its fist anntial session at
Richmond. The late surgeon-general OF
the Confederacy presided. His address
and the papers read are to be published.
They will; doubtless, fofh curious
chapter in the history of medical science.

Arsenic Eaters.

AT meeting of German natural phil
osophers in Vienna, DR.. Knapp intro
duced two arsenic eaters from Styria
the one ate thirty hundredths grammes
of yellow sulphuret of arsenic, the other
forty-hundredths grammes of arsenic
acid, in sight of the assembly. In his
lecture on the arsenic eaters DR.. Knapp
said among other things; 1t is difficult
to give any certain particulars as to the
increase in number Of arsenic eaters. I
have convinced myself that there exist
many of them in Upper Syria, and also
in Middle Syria very many stable
boys, ostlers, wood cutters, and foresters
are known to me as arsenic eaters even
the female sex is addicted to the prac-
tice. Many began already at seventeen
or eighteen years of age to take arsenic,
and continued it to great age. Most
arsenic eaters keep the matter secret, SO
that it is impossible to give accurate
statistics. They all assign as their
motives for indulging in the habit that
it prevents illness; furthers their wish
to look rosy and healthy that it is a
remedy against difficulty of breathing,
and assists in the digestion of indigesti-
BILE food. A poacher in Upper Styria,
who made experiments in my presence
of eating arsenic, told me he had &C
quired courage by the habit. The ap-
pearance of the arsenic eaters in all cases
known to me is healthy and robust.
I think only robust persons can be accus-
toned to the practice. Some of them
attain great age. Thus in Zeiring
sawa charcoal burner, upward of seventy,
still strong and hearty, who, I was told,
had taken arsenic for more than forty
years. I heard, too, of chamois hunt
er of eighty-one, who had long beer
used to eating arsenic. I never observed
an arsenic cachezy in those addicted te
the habit. 1t certainly happened once
that such an arsenic eater "a leather
dresser's apprentice in Ligist, 1865
while intoxicated took too much, there
by poisoning himself severely. Accord
ing to his own account he had taken
piece as large as bean. He entirely re

ment, the rent OF call Cor glass; boxes
in The Richmond Postof6ce will be
placed at twenty five cents per quar-
ter. OF one dollar per year, commence
ing July 1st, 1875.
The Department has thought it adj
visable to make this reduction in
view of the fact that there is COM
paratively but small number of call
boxes rented in this Office, and it is
expected that the increase in number
of boxes rented will compensate for
the loss by this reduction, thus secur-
ing greater facility and security in
delivery of mail matter without de-
creasing the revenue.
It is earnestly advised that all indi-
viduals or families receiving regular
newspapers or periodicals, or many
letters will avail themselves of the
privilege of box at this merely
nominal rent, and have their mail
ADDRESSED TO THE BOX BY NUMBER
and thus avoid the annoyances incl

our account Of the sale of Gen. Mere
dith's cattle from the Journal, instead
of the Sentinel, whose reporter was
on the ground and wrote from actual
knowledge, whilst the former was not
represented by a reporter at all, but
received its information from a sec
ond hand source. The truth is, we
had the two accounts before us and
found discrepancies in both, but from
them, and with such outside informa-
ton as we could gather up, our re-
port was made. We failed to see, in
