Death of a Russian Lady from Glanders.—The awful death 
of Madame Palesikoff, one of the most charming among all that 
bevy cf entertaining Russian ladies who sometinies gladden the 
winters of Paris, has created a terrible .hock among the circles 
she so lately embellished by her presence. The unhappy lady left 
Paris but a short time ago on a summer tour toGermany. While 
stepping from the door of the opera-house in Berlin, to gain her 
carriage, she let full one of her bracelets close to the pavement. 
Stooping to pick it up, she noticed, at the time, laughingly, that 
“one of the horses belonging to a carriage standing at hand, 
dropped his head so close to her face that he touched her, and left 
a moist. kiss upon her cheek.” In a few days the unfortunate lady 
was taken ill with that most horrible disease, glanders, and in a few 
days more, breathed her last, in spite of the attendance of the firat 
physicians of Berlin ud every resource to be obtained by wealth,

vious to his admission he cut his right hand deeply over the dorsal 
aspect of the thumb. The wound bled freely, but he felt no in- 
convenience from it, of any consequence, until the 10th. He then 
had pain in the part, extending upward to the axilla, and also a 
numbing pain in the calf of the right leg. His appetite was good, 
and he had so little constitutional disturbance that he went as 
usual to superintend the work which the accident had prevented 
his carrying out. On the 11th the pain in the arm increased, and 
that in the leg, on the 12th, extended upward to the thigh. Thie 
had become considerably aggravated, and he then became gener- 
ally indisposed, and was unable to stand. The following day he

that his limbs felt almost paralyzed. He was quite unable to
