POEShKIN,

asm with which the appearance OF
Poushkin's first poem, "R9uslan and

nouncsd it as a, shameless violation Ot
the fundamental laws of poetical COM
position, and provoked Merslakof to
exclaim, "Poushkin writes we'll, but for
Gods sake do not call this thing a

sites and their followers as the happy
promise OF u new era in Russian lltera-

DIR. DENNIS, United States Senator,
from the Enste n Shore of Maryland shas
served the State -acceptably, and conf
dently looked for reelection. He Is a
man of great wealth and largeinfiuence,
and has large following in lhe counties
near his home, BY State law requiring
one Senator to come from the Eastern
and one from the Western Shore, the Sc
lection was confined to the counties
which he telt that he almost controlled.
But, alas for his. ambition, be followed
Conkling, and aided that Senator in his
schemes to control: The New York pat
ronage. This tact was, successfully
handled against Dennis, and he was
beaten. Democrats who are tempted to
enter into conspiracy with the ConE'
lingites to dictate appointments may
learn an important lesson from The de-
feat of Dennis.

BOSTON. March 23, 1874.
H r. STEyENs-Dear Sir: A row days after
the Fourth Of July last got my leg hurt by a
fellow workman letting PLANK tall, which
struck me onthe knee. For four months fol-
lowing was undcr-thc treatment Of the ply
sicians at the Dispensary, at the end ofWhich
time they told me they could DO nothing more
for me, and that l must go to the hospital ana
have my leg amputated above the knee. l was
removed TO the hospital, aud lay there ten
weeks under the treatment OF the best skill
the hospital afforded, and no pen can describe
the great suffering l endured. My leg was
swollen to nearly the size ofmy body, and all
the surface OF my Knee turned black, and l.
Was told that my knee WAS so diseased: as to
render it itimpOsslDle to save my leg, and ualess
it was ampulatcd soon 1 would die. When l
first went TO the hospital, raised such an OBJ
lection to the amputation OF my leg, they con-
scnted to try one alternative, which was to cut
out all the diseased flesh antt replace 1T with
sound flesh fton the other leg. Ihey did cut
six pieces from my well leg, and place it where
the diseased ileSh had been removed; but the
bone was so mach diseased that this expert
ment proved failure, and was removed to
my home i'll q hopeless condition. Other ply
sIclans were Then employed, until all the
money which had saved from my earnings
hau been expended, and one thing after anoth :
er disposed OF TO pay do;tors' nils until my
family was in q destitute condition, with no
hope Tor myself except relief BY death. AT this
time Mr.. Hill, the police officer in my street,
called in to see lne, and, after rendering Pc
cuniary assistance to my family, brought some
Negetinc for Inc, urging me to give 1T u faltn-
full trial, saying when those two bottles were
gone he would see tnat mad some more. After
I had been taking the Vegetlne, three days the
ulcers in my knee commenced to discharge, and
/ can not DesIn to descrlDe the frig 4tlul quau-
tty that was discharged during the following
eight days; and though prey ,ously had sui
ferGd indeecribable pain, rcmlerng sleep. i'm
possible, after taxing the Ve9etinc three days,
the pam all left me- ami my whole complains
seemed to be pouring out OF me with this cor
lrupted matter Tho Nesetne was not only
forcing disease from me, but it gave mC

and enlisted men for the present year.
OF this sum SO, 500, 900 are paid to 1850
enlisted men, and over 81 900, 900 to the
officers. From the last Naval Register
1t may be seen that about thirty ships
are in what is called active sea service,
that is, sailing from port to port, firing
salutes, exchanging courtesies, enjoy
ing hospitalities, &C., in European.
Asiatic, South Atlantic, and South Pa
cific water. This does not include re-
ceiving ships, unseaworthy hulks that
are used as boarding houses for enlisted
men, and to furnish increased pay, per-
qusites, and shore duty to few officers
each ship entailing expense sufficient
to run large hotel. The last Register
exhibits list of 25 Commodores, 30
Captains, 80 Commanders, 81 Lieuten-
ant Commanders, $50 Lieutenants, 100
Masters, II Ensigns, n Midshipmen,
l75 officers of the Medical corps, l26 of

A Slow Pulse

Some interesting statements are re-
ported to have been made at meeting
of the Clinical Society, London, show
ing that a slow pulse may In no wise
interfere with health. The most re-
markable case, perhaps, was that of DR..
Hewan, as related by himself. 1t seems
that twenty-one years ago, after pro-
longed study and work, his pulse fell
from seventy to fifty-flve, and he felt
very cold from that time Its frequency
gradually decreased, until about eleven
years ago, when 1t was but twenty-four
beats per minute. It's present rates are
about twenty-eight. Notwithstanding
this he has not suffered from fainting
fits or colds; is capable ofgreat physical
exertion--of which evidence Is to be
found in his ascent Of high mountain
and his digestion remains unimpalred.
Another speaker said that Napoleon had
slow pulse, being about thirty to forty
per minute; aud another stated the
rate Of horses pulse to be only sixteen
