HORROES OF THE PLMJUE.

Its Mediaeval History Ravages of the Fest in the Fourteenth .., Century.- ' ' Seventy to Seventy-fire Millions of People Perish. 1 .7 Symptoms, ' Vrtucreaa audi Characteristics at the Disease Prerea. lion Practicable Cure Impossible. New Torlc Times Many Americans are inclined to regard the plague which devastated the old world in the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries as an extinct disease; to imagine that it could not now prevail in any part of civilization, owing to the total absence of such conditions as produced and fostered it Since they have begun to read of its ravages in Russia, tbey have hardly thought it to be the old plague, but a variation of it with the same name, a deadly distemper, though nothing like so terrible as the ancient pestilence, and very different in its symptoms and consequences. The plague in Russia to day is, essentially, if not exactly, the same plague so horribly conspicuous in every history of the middle ages, and which has -never ceased to exist in certain regions of the East. Since 1720, when it destroyed nearly half the entire population of Marseilles, France, and . 1779,. when it visited Russia and Poland, it has until the present been almost unknown in Western Europe. During the last hundred years it has been limited mainly to Egypt, Syria, Anatolia, Greece and Turkey, occasionally spreading northward toward Russia and westward toward Malta. Its true and permanent home seems to be in the territory bordering on the eastern extremity of the Mediterranean, where the condition and habits of the people foster and stimulate it. But the mass of Americans have so lit tle knowledge of, and so small concern for, what is going on in that quarter of the globe that, never thinking of the plagne, tbey naturally presume its ghastly engagement closed long ago and forever. Plague (Latin, plaga; Greek, p'age, a blow or stroke,) was used by ancient writers as the words pestis and pestilentia, and the corresponding Greek terms were very loosely, in a sense that meant nothing more than epidemic fever. Still, fha plague mentioned by some old authors was unquestionably trie fearful mediaeval ana contemporaneous plague, as those will admit who recall the terrible scourge of . Athens so vividly and horribly picturesquely described in the ."History of the Peloponnesian War,'.' by Thucydides, himself a sufferer from its fury. SYMPTOMS AND CO0K8K OF THE SCOUBGE. The genuine plague is a very malignant kind of contagious fever, marked by buboes, or swellings of the lymphatic glands, by carbuncles and petecchire, and without any apparent security against recurrence to the same person. It commonly begins with a feeling of intense fatigue, slight chilliness, much nausea, giddiness, mental confusion and lumbar pains. These symptoms are speedily followed by increased disturbance of mind, with occasional stupor and delirium, by alternate pallor and flushing of . face, suffusion of the eye and a sense of extreme restriction in or about the hear Sharp, darting pains are experienced in the groins, armpits and other parts of the body. Boon succeeded by enlargement of the lymphatic glands, which occurn sometimes the first or second day, sometimes not until near the close of the , disease, and at others not at all, and also the formation of carbuncles in various places. As the distemper advances the tongue crows dry 'and brown, while the gums, teeth and lips are covered with a dark fur: the bowels, at first condtipatPd, relax, aud tne evacuations are dusky, offensive and sanguineous. The patient lose much power of will over his muscles, and presents tbn appearance of intoxication. He is more or leas faint throughout the attack, and usually the second or third day purpie spots, livid patches, like bruiss, and dark stripes ( vibeces) are visible on the skin especially in severe cases in consequence of extravasation of blood, and are often accompanied wth hemorrhagic discharges from the mucous membranes. In fat:! caae3 the pulse gradually sinks; the sufferer's body grows cold and clammy; blood flows from the mucous membranes; either coma or low delirium sets in, and death takes place either without a struggle . or preceded by convulsions.' The period of incuba'.ion in plague would seem in no case to extend beyond eight days. " Sometimes the local symptoms first show themselves, and the fever that follows is comparatively mild. At other times the disorder is rapid and violent, and causes death without the appearance of buboes or carbuncles. Between these extremes, tending to the mild or virulent form, the disease presents every phase of variety. In mild esses small red spots, resembling flea-bites, are seen, especially on parts where the body is exposed to the air, gradually enlarge, get dusky, and axe covered by vesicles filled with a dark hued fluid. The base of the spots is hard, grows black, forming a gangrenous eschar an inch or an inch and a half in diameter, and developing into carbuncles. This process is attended with more or less fever, which subsides gradually as the eschar is detached. Often consequent npon the carbuncles the buboes form in the groins or armpits, occasionally go away without suppuration, though generally after forming pus sometimes healthy, sometimes thin and sanious. Buboes are generally attended with higher fever and greater depression of vital force, severe headache, great restlessness and vertigo. At the commencement of malignant epidemics, patients have died within 24 hours, but generally it continues from one to two wseks: the average aura tion is six to eight days, and when con valescence takes place, it i apt to be slow and tedious. When the disease is virulent the majority of persons attacked by it die within a week. THE riBST APPEAKAHC3 OF TUB PLAGCE. As here described, in the latter times the plague first appeared during the fourteenth ' century, when it actually desolated the world. Oae of the names it then bore was the black death, from toe black spots denot ing putrid decomposition, which, at one of its stages, marked the sufferer. The accounts then furnished are incomplete and inexact, as they ceceanly would beat such an epoch of semi-civilization; but they are sufficient to show a state of horrors and agony hard to exceed. The course and avmptoma of the dreadful malady varied at different times and in different countries, and greatly changed toward the close (1548 51 J of its ravages in Europe. Among the concomitants of the pestilence were noticed palsy of the tongue, '. which became black, as it suffused with blood; putrid inflammation ot the lungs; fetid, pestiferous breath and expectoration of blood. f hea it spread to Europe, fever,

evacuation of blood and pulmonary carbuns cles proved mortal before other symptoms had been declared. In well-nigh all instancedeath ensued in two or three days after attack. Spots and tumors were the seals of doom which medical skill had. no power to avert and many sufferers anticipated by suicide. - - The rise and progress of the plague in the fourteenth century have not been clearly or coasfstentlyrelate'd; but there seems to be no doubt that it originated in China. There is also concurrent testimony that the co-operating causes existed and acted at least 15 years before any outbreak in Europe, and are to be sought as far back as 1333, in a series of mighty convulsions of nature, which continued for 26 years to afflict and derange the normal condition of animal and vegetable lif-. .The precise date of the beginning

of the plague in China is unknown; but from 1333 to 1340 that country suffered fearfully from droughts, famine, floods, swarms of locusts and earthquakes that overthrew cities and leveled mountains, and these catastrophes were followed by the scourge. At the same time the order of things seemed to be reversed in . Europe. Thunder sterms occurred in mid winter, ice formed in sum mer, tornadoes swept regions that had never felt them before, volcanoes, long thought extinct, blazed with fury, and water-spouts rose in placid seas. The mortality was hideous in the East and West, and it is believed that the great activity of the globe, accompanied by decomposition of vast organic masses, myriads of locusts, bodies 01 Drutes ana men, pro duced some change in the atmosphere hostile to Ufa. It i3ssid that, In the progress of the plague westward, the impure aud poisoned air was traceable as it moved on laden with pestilence and death. ,-A. writer of the time remarks: "A dense, awful fog was seen in the Heavens rising in the East, aud descending upon Italy." The inhabitants of Eurone are also thought to have been predisposed to the pest partly from scarcity, and partly from the then inadequate modes of living. The theory is very plausible that it sprang directly trom atmospnenc poison, acting on the respiratory organs, which were the first to be attacked. Still, where impure sir and defective physical conditions may have fed the pestilence largely, it doubtless owed its extension almost entirely to in faction and contagion. It seems that it had appeared in Europe ia milder form in 1342; but it had come to an end, aod there is little reason to hold, as has been held, that it had in the interval remained latent until new causes had requickened it six years later. The invasion of 1348 may be distinctly tracked in its advance Irom China along tne caravan routes toward the West. The northern coast of the Black sea sent the plague by con tag ion to Constantinople; tbence in the same way it reached the ports of Italy, and was so diffused throughout Europe. Its progress may be followed through Germany and France to England, whence it was transmitted to Sweden. Three years elapsed from its appearance in Constantinople until it crept by a great circle to the Russian territories; and the fact of its contagious communication has started the speculation whether, by rigid quarantine it might sot have been excluded altogether from Europe. Such ruiM have now long been enfoicedat many points to prevent introduction into the West of the plagues of the Orient, but they have been insufficient in the present instance to keep it out of Russia. APPALLING HOBBOBS. The mortality, though no proper estimate can be made in the absence of statistics, was prodigious supremely terrifying. In China alone 13,000.000 persons are asserted to have died, and in other parts of the East nearly 24 000,000 more. In Europe details were more exact. In London 100.000 souls perished, and in 15 continental cities about 300,000. Germany lost, it is calculated, 1,244,434, and Italy one-half of her whole population. It is within bounds to say that in a 1 Europe not less than 25,000.000 people were slain by the scourge. Africasuffered terribly likewise, and it is believed that the globs was deprived during that century of fully from 70,000,000 to 75,000,000 human beings from ravages of the plague. Xhe mere facts are appalling to the imagination; the scenes of suffering are scarcely credible. Death was everywhere; it seemed to hsve usurped the place af life. All animal life was menaced; bird?, beasts, men, women and children, Louts of members of every nationality, savages, peasants, scholars, priests, princes, kings of every creed, clime and race, were swept from the face of the earth. Rivers were consecrated to receive corpsss for which none dared to perform the rites of burial; bodies were cast by thousands into hu:e pi's dug for the purpose. Death stalked over sea as well as over land. The entire crews of vessels were killed by the poison breath that infested the globe. Ships freighted with pu trefying bodies drifted aimlessly and hideously on the Mediterranean, Black and .North seas not a human creature alive anywhere and spread contagion on the shores whither the Windsor tides had driven them. Hope, peace, content, law, order, affection, naturalness, humanity, seemed never to have been. Ancient custom and the need of companionship were for the time obliterated; all was death, agony and despair, and by these the infected world ap peared to be exclusively and shudderingly possessed. The moral effects of the plague were not less dreadful than its physical destruction. Thousands perished from fear, which dis solved among the living all ties- of kindred, all bonds of fellowship, all links of sympathy. Children fled from their polluted pa rents; mothers deserted their helpless infants; husbands and lovers left their wives and mistresses to die howling and alone, Terror generated superstition; the virtuous and the vicious alike made distracting and distracted appeals to God, who, they imagined, bad sent the pestilence to punish them for manifold sins. Crowds rushed to sacrifice their worldly goods to the church; fa naticlsm swelled on every hand; women screamed to Heaven for mercy; men tore out their hair and scourged themselves until they had fainted from loss of blood that they might propitiate a Deity whom they actually believed they had enraged. The world was mad with fright, suffering and superstition, and thousands who had tried to stay the pestilence with prayer, de clared that God was dead and hell had begun on earth. The horrors of the time were further heightened by cruel persecutions against the Jews, who had been accused of poisoning the public wells, this being in popular belief the caute of the pestilence. The people rose in mad fury to exterminate the unfor tunate Hebrew race, and slaughtered them by tens of thousands. In the inconsiderable city of Mentz (Germany) alone, near 15,000 fell victims to the publio wrath. They were Killed with steel and club, hanged, drowned, burned, and of ten barbarously tut to death by every kind of torture. In numberless instances they took their own lives in masses to avoid cruelties of tha mob, and in many communities every man. woman and child was sacrificed t) insensate rage. To aggravate the scourge, the panic about poison caussd the wells to be closed. The people were afraid to touch water, and those wb escaped the plague perished of thirst and terror. Society, rude at best in that day, was totally disorganized, and such means as might have been adopted to prevent or mtt igate the stupendous evil W6re either nee lected or un thought ot, in the derangement and frenzy that possessed everybody, from the highest to the lowest. The influence of the plague and its desolation were so over whelming that it frequently destroyed all honesty and principle among its survivors. Many were rendered callous, and many took advantage of the universal horror to indulge their worst passions, to plunder, murder and perpetrate the most revolting crimes. OPINIONS A TO ITS CAUSE. The plague has again and again visited Western .nroue since toe fourteenth cen tury, but never has it been so baleful as then,

continued so long, or been attended with such incidental horrors. Previous to its last

outbreak, in 1065, it invaded England, ac cording to the celebrated physician oyaenham, every 30 or 40 years. Although its symptoms and virulence nave vanea ai different times, its general features have been sufficiently alike to prove that It is always the same terrible disease. Great difference of opinion still exists ss to its cause. Some authorities maintain that it is exclusively propagated by a peculiar con tagion; others contena, wnue aamiwmg its contagiousness, that it may also be engendered spontaneously by endemic or epidemic influences; others again deny its con tagiousness altogether, ana assert mat it arises from local or epidemic causes. Intelligent opinion favors the second of these views, aud there is a mass of sound evidence to sustain it Whatever the cause, temperance seems to affect it favorably In the tropics it is unknown, and the cold northern climates have been observed to check its ravages. In Europe It has been most fatal during summer and autumn, especially in September. Thus, in London, in 1665, the deaths from the pestilence were in Jnne, 590; in July, 4.129; in August, 20.046; in September, 29,230: in October, 14.373; in November, 3,449, while in December they fell below 1,000. The precise nature of the distemper is still unknown. A poison whose properties evade all chemical and microscopic detection is absorbed into the system, and alters at once, or after a brief period of incubation, the quality of the blood and the condition of the tissues. A report made in Paris, 1846, to the French Academy of Medicine, says: "I. At present the countries where the plague still originates are, first, Egypt, afterward Syria and the two Turkeys. It is probable, however, that it may be developed without Importation in Tripoli, Tunis and Morocco. "XI. In those countries the conditions that deter .nine and foster the disease are the hab itation of alluvial or marshy grounds, a hot. moist atmosphere, low. Ill-ventilated, crowded houses, the accumulation ot vegetable and animal matter in a state of putrefaction, scantv. unwholesome diet, great physical and moral destitution, negligence of the laws of public and private hygiene. "III. Sporadic plague dots not seem to be transmissible: but epidemic is plainly trans missible both in the localities where it is raging and beyond such localities. 'IV. It Is transmitted by means of mias mata, given out by the bodies of the suflerers, these miasmata being capable of creating in close, ill-ventilated places centers of pestilen tlal iofection. Tne most rigorous observation has failed to show the transmlssiblllty of the plague by contact with the infected; but new experiments are needed to determine that it is uot transmissible by the goods and weiring appaiel of patients. The results of observa tions made at the lazarettos for more than year ind cates that merchandise does not transmit the plague. CCRH IMPOSSIBLE. In regard to treatment, little can be done to arrest the progress of the disease in any individual case. The sufferer should, if pos sible, be removed as soon as attacked from the source of the distemper; he should be freely exposed to . fresh air; his secretions should be duly regulated, and his strength, so far as mav be, carefully supported. Fric tion with olive oil has been strongly record mended, but later experience has not con firmed the first favorable reports. Like other contagious exanthemota, it probably runs a prescribed course, which can not be materially shortened, and it has generally been deemed wisest to limit exertion to the local treatment of buboes and carbuncles, and give the 6ulierer the best hygienic sur roundings attainable. General treatment appears to be well nigh valueless, but much may be accomplished by guarding against attacks of the scourge. There can be little doubt that Europeans, and Americans par ticularly, owe much of their comparative exemption from the pestilence in infected cities of the Levant to their personal cleanli ne ss, regular bathing in cold water, superior ventilation, and moderate habits of living, The plague in Kussia this year has come as before, trom Turkey, out the Kussian au thorities seem at present most active and energetic in measures to pi event its spread. Still, so dreacful is the pest, so inconceiva bie are its horrora to those who hare not witnessed them, that J, is not strange Aus tria, Germany and oth ir countries of Europe should be alarmed. W hile it is unlikely to make much advance toward the West, too great caution can not be exercised; and whatever may happen, we have the comfort of knowing that in the latter half ot the nineteenth century the best part of Europe and America is free from peril of panic and superstition, and can meet any danger and death in any form wrth calmness and reason, science and philosophy. Snared by at "Personal." A newspaper came as a package wrapper into a farm houss near Cleveland, O., says the st, Louts .Republican. At was a very in nocent looking sheet, but was full of buzz and hum of tne great world outside of this secluded farm. Clara, an 18-year-old daughter of the house, was charmed with it charmed with its column of personal ad vertisements. They were new to her, if a newspaper was not entirely new. She had never seen such confidential communications made public before. She was fascinated with the romance of such a method of acquaintanceship as it prescribed. One young man of easy means, living in a city, wanted to make the acquaintance of a live country girl, through a correspondence. It was just to have a little fun that was ail. ciara thought she nlled the conditions of a lively country girl, and wrote. He wrote; his letter looked right. It was fair writing; all modesty and good breeding. It was delightful to Clara to have a city correspondent, a nice young man whom she had never seen, but already admired for his penmanship and sentiments. Besides he told her in his first letter that he had received a hundred answers to his advertisement, but had singled hers out as the only one to which he made reply. This was flattering to her. She knew no better than to believe it, and her own girlish vanity helped to snare her. Of all this Clara's parents kuew nothing for some time. At length he wanted a meeting and she told the old folks how she had been amusing herself. A meeting could do no harm, she thought, it was all pure fun. Her parents thought differently, but, ' through her earnest - solicitations, they at length consented and Clara and her correspondent met. She thought his person as fine as his writing and as noble as his sentiments.- He loved, she loved, but the parents they did not love. The yonng fellow was too flashily dressed to suit them plain country people, as they were. He was too loud for the modest scope of a farm house. But at length the old folks gave way to an engagement ar d in a short time there was a marriage in that house and tbe flower of the farm left for the city a happy bride. Her romance bad become reality. What money the old folks could scrape toeether went with her to make easy the beginnings of life. In less than two months the girl returned to her country home with a look of 20 yeans more age and experience stamped on her face. She had lived a long life in two short months. He did not turn out to be what she expected. He was a gambler, and luck was against him. She thought he was a broker, and the deception broke her heart. He spent all her dowry and pawned her extra clothes, and then she was forced to return to her parents for something to eat. That's what 'came of the funot answering a "personal" addressed to any lively country girL Kiss and Make Up. A New England school teacher of no little celebrity, when he caught two of his pupils fighting, used to send them to bed; their food consisted of bread and milk, or porridge, sent to them in a bowl, with two spoons, or of meat and potatoes sent np, with but one plate and a knife and fork for each. On men-of-war it is customary when' two "Jacktars" resort to pugilistios in settlement of personal grievances to iron them breast to breast, so that their hands almost touch. An exchange gives the following

amusing account of the way in which a Rus

sian ooiomon treated hsh-wemen who came to blows: He knew that preaching would be of no use whatever where the hearers were two women, who were cursing one another at the rate of 120 words a minute and who were ' only prevented from tearing one another's faces by the strong arm of the police. You must be locked in one and the same cell until you have kissed each other. This was invariably the sentence of the new magistrate in every case of. female broil which was brought before him. He knew that although kissing one another is a naoit with male Kussians, it is not so with the women of Muscovy, least of all with the nsn wives. The women were hurried on; railed for a time louder than ever; protested that they would die sooner than give this numtiitating sign of recognition; and, then, after a few hours' confinement, called the jailor and informed him that they had aisseu. luej were luiormea mat mey must repeat the kiss publicly in the open market place. A small fine was taken from each. and they were compelled, in the midst of their sisters in trade, to kiss each other three times. THE GENUINE DR. C.
