i Russian Tlrade Against England.

Yes. undoubtedly England is Russia's
enemy. Both openly and secretly she
resists her in every place where she sup
poses there is a possibility of Russia's
glowih. She spares not money, IN
trignes, calumny, or endeavor. She en-
couraCes treason in Bokhara, and unir- >
terruptedly extends arms and ammuni-
tion to the Turks, against whom Russia
wages war in defense of the downtroddeh
Christians; she covers them with tents,
trauspor,s;them in her ships, builds them
Cortresses, directs their guns. digs their
trenches, plans their campaigns, pays
their debts, applauds them, whispers into
their ears promises OF victory and ALI.

GoRrscHAEofF is eighty yearsold. the
richest man in Russia, and is considered
the most agreeable dirlomatist in
Europe One reason Of bis success is
ascribed to the fact that he is not required
to make speeches to the country. The
Pail Mall Gazette says be talks slowly
writes grandiloquently and gives high
minded reasons for everything he advises
or does. Persons who might have ex-
pectcd him to explain some torturous
piece of policy on cynical grounds are
staggered by his semblance of perfect
good faith, and by the reassuring
promises which he makes in a tone of
stately gentleness, to which his venerable
appearance gives the stamp of wisdom
and truth. His strength is patience; his
talent lies in seizing opportunities the
moment they arrive; and these op.
portunities come through the simplicity
of the foreigners who trust him.
Dr., BROWN SEQUARD lcctured in
Philadelphia recently to large audience
of medical men on paralysis of the
brain.' He said "The views that have
reigned in science for many centuries,
without any objection until now, that
the right side of the brain moves the left
side OF the body, and the vice versa, must
be laid aside as absolutely false. 1t seems
rather singular that any one should come
to you and state that this view should
be laid aside. 1t was stated generally
where there was paralysis IN the right
side Of the brain, it followed to the left
side CT the body. Ny investigation
shows this to be a mistake. There are 2
great many cases where disoase on one
side of the brain will not affect the oppo.
site side of the body, and there are other
cases where disease of one side of the
brain produces disease on both sides of
