A London war writer says t1at the
consciousness of marching not only
to death, but to mutilaton. and per-

moments, has had at length a visible
effect on the Russian soldiers-tAat
accordingly he has himself distinctly
seen them hinch in storming Turkish
strongholds. FJr my part 1 utterly
discredit this yarn-behevisg 1t pure
fancy, speculation founded on The
writer's vivid feelings; and that thu
Russians arm, so far frcm being I'M

CUTTING OUT a NERVE TO CURE
. THE NEURALGIA, ,...a -..
[From the ST. Louis Republican,

From the st. Louis Republican,
For several years Judge Bay, of this
city, has been a great sufferer from facial
neuralgia, and to avail himself of any
benefit that might possibly result from a
change of climate, spent most Of 1873 in
California, and the last part If 1874 in
Colorado without any material benefit ;
and on his return from Colorado DIR.
Hodgen cut out a little over one half
inch of the fifth facial nerve, and for sew
en- or eight months the Judge expert
enced entire relief from the disease, but
at the expiration OF that time it gradu-
ally returned upon him with increased
severity until life was almost unbearable.
DR.. Hodgen became satisfied that the
separate parts of the nerve had united,
and he determined to perform a second
operation; and on the 7th instant, at the
residence of Judge Bay, 3,220 Chestnut
stree3, and in the presence of several
medical gentlemen, cut out two inches
of the nerve, and removed several collat-
eral branches. The operation lasted fif-
teen minutes, was exceedingly painful,
and, though the Judge declined to take
chloroform or any opiate, he stood the
knife without flinching. This operation
has been very rarely performed in the
west, and from the proximity of the
nerve to the eye requires great care ano
much skill. The Judge has had no re-
turn of the neuralglc pa ms, and all the
indications are that the operation will
prove eminently successful,

Syndey find no diff Guilty in obtaining sit

eagerly snapped up on their arrival in

worth and importance, receiving with the
utmost caution offers made to them. Be
ing well posted up in the rates ruling in

THE STEAMER MASSACHUSETTS,
ON THE Do ks.

HoiO She Bore Her TIs,umping- As Strong as
Iron and Wood C0utd Make Her."
As the steamer Massachusetts lies high
out of the water on the sectional docks
at the foot of Pike street, on East river,
there is fine opportunity for noting the
wonderful strength Of her construction,
which enabled her to stand that terrible
humping on the Long Island coast.
There are in her bottom but two holes
OF any conseguence-one on the port
tide just about midshlps, and a great
jagged rent well aft on the starboard
side. Through these one may look up
past the different layers OF timber and
get an idea of their thickness and great
strength. There is first skin OF six
inch oak plank, then solid mass of oak
timbers twenty inches thick, inside that
sheathing Of oak plank six inches IN
thickness and resting on these nine keel
SONS running the entire length OF The
ship, and built of two-fOot timbers. Out
side the twenty-inch timbers, and be-
tween them and the skin, is perfect
network of iron bands three-quarters OF
an inch thick extending from the guards
to the turn of the bllge.
In fact, as Mr.. Steers, her builder, says,
''she is as strong as iron and timber could
make her." She is built in precisely the
same way so far as strength goes, as the
Pacific mail steamships Alaska and Great
Republic.
When she was humping on the Long
Island rocks Captain Merritt frequently
