Memorlfs of Thai Bloody Marâ€" A TarCar Townâ€" Palnru ef a Klinn-lieri'ier at a llo<|<iae - KIrir a PUiuliMt Clly. The country for many miles below Sebaatopol is "cme vast, dread, drear, burned-out plain," but very impressive through the memories of that bloodiest war of whicJi it was the theatO'e.writee a correspoodent. On the hillsidea are some enormous natural caves, one of which, it is said, can contain s whole regiment of soldiexs, and which was, I believe, utilized by the English. One oatches a glimpEe of the valley or gorges of Balaklava, and passes within sight of the Koglish, French, and Italiaik cemeteries. From Sebastopol itself we were rowed acroas the bay to the great Russian cemetery, where 100,000 soldiers are said to be baried. At the tap ot the elevation on which the cemetery lies is a meiaori?.! chapel, the interior of which is one of the most beautiful things in Russia. The \valls are almost completely lined with moBalos in deli- cate light ooloms, lr«{>rettentiag largely â- oenes from the J^aseion and solemn angels in white garmeiita. The other oimamentatiuu is of silver or gold on a white ground. On the walls are tablets commemorative of the Ruaiian reg- iments which took part and the soldiers who fell in the Crimean war. Shady arenues radiate from the chapel through the grounds, where, be»ide the monu- ments of the beives of 18&4-5. are those of numerous army and navy officers who have died of late y^jars, and great mounds covered with enormous granite slats beneath each of whiuh 200 soldiers are said to lio. Certain rest riot ions and prohibitions have lately been re- moved from the town of Sebaetopol, con- siderable building and renovation has been engaged in, and the place is assum- inC a mom prosperous aspect than it is said to have worn for many a long yetur. Uere. too, we are close upon classical ground. Only a few versts southward is the ancient Tauris, where Iphe^nia waa tar so long the priestess of Artemis. The railway, which runs straight northward from Sebastopol, panaea through Inkerman, and sufzw interest- ing and BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. Two hours by rail from Sebastopol is a Tartar town called Backtchi-Sarai, un- ique In Rwsia. and for th3,t matter, in Europe, where Tartar custociui prevail alnujHt as In the days before the place belonged to the Ruwlan empire. The town is traversed by one long, narrow street, lined on both sides by low dwell- ings which in the daytime are turned into sbopn where ail the traffic of the place is carried on. The men ait in the wide doorways, many of them crons- Legged. tike Turks or tailors working at the articles at their trade or waiting for eoatomera Here pie*ws of meat are suspended on a hook, next oome rows of rod and yellow 8llpi>ers ranged upon the groutwl, then fruit stalls, then a Europe.m variety shop, and so on. da oapo. There were comparatively few women f«ln»iit, and theew were all en- veloTMvl in a -white garment like a sheet, pitmed tightly about the head, and with only a narrow silt thrmich which the eyeM are vLssilile. In fact, the women much moiro closely veiled here than in are much more clo««ly veiled here than in Coii.Mantlmiiplo. We visited finrt. li.e palace of tbc Khan, now uninhabited and undex the cane of a Rattlan guardian. The eii- tranoe gate, a<lorned with bright-colored sc.ndls and tratvries, and overhung with vineB. opens into a charming garden, cm ome side of whicjj the piUace is tiuilt. It lymfainH a series of low, studded rnoms. d<'coratod in bright colors, and with texts from the Koran running nnind the walls. Over some of the doors axe garlands of fruits and flowiers in has relu'f, like winie of the Floren- tine work. There are the llvinit rooms of the KlMin ami the "Crown IVince," in orm of which Catherine II. Alc{>t on her visit to the Crimea short I v after it.s coiiqiuwt in 1783. Thoje Is also a pretty hall where hiie took her after- noon coffee. Then there in an audience cJuiinbor, in which the Khan received foreign Ambassadors, a hall of justice, where offniuUvrs a«uln,st hia laws were jiulce.d, and ataimnier "fountain room," with cver-pla»hing water, a delightful retreat in the almost torrid heat ot this climate duritvK the mimmor m<mth«. The women's Hidoof the house, or the harem, is Khut <>i"f fn«n the olh<'.r side by a hlsh. white wall, and contains nolhlniZ wort hy of mention. In a sort of chn|xd heyoiul the garden are the luonu- rrveats of some of the Khans and their wives. They ape like open sarcopha^rl. of white sl.ono, with nuixwl arabnuiues In white and gT.'e.n alon^ the sldos. .\t the hivul and f(xit Is a sort of post, finishing in a CAP OR TURBAN, acc<iTding to the hex of the deceased, the turbiUi being the masculine .symlK)l iumI the cap the feminine. SVil hout is a small S!u.ssulman cemetery, where re- latlven of the Khans and aomo ot the high priost.s are baried. There are thirty-five mowiinvi In Back- t*hl-Saral, and several inlnaret-s â€" love- ly, slim, white Bpirollke towersâ€" shoot - lug upward toward the alt v. As we were looking over some piiotograpbs and I5a.st.ern triflcn hi a little .shop, up a flight of Hl.%irs, lla Tartar owiber hur- ried U.S out uix>n tlio balcony to see the miiozzin comw out on the minaret and cjill to pra.ver. ImmtHliatoly atlerward we were comliicted to the moHque to w.itch the Tartars at their devotions, a rrivilege not i)ernutted to women fur- her o:i,st, and a curious sight It was. Of course, the first thing Is to remove their shoes. Thnn each one sotJIes him- self on the ground, with his toe.t curled up under lilii?, and indulges In as many prayers and prostrations as lie pleases. ln<i'wnvor, at a certain signal they all stjirt up and range, thom-selves in rows, each on J pUolug nis thn.mb.s behind his earn, with bit hands spread out as If he were imitating the flapi)lng ears of a donkey. Next the prleaf, "squats" upon the groundâ€" tiK*'e is no other word â€" an/1 all the w<orshipi>crs follow his ex- ample; then, all together, they pros- trate themselves, remaining for some seconds with their foreheads touching the ground. At another caU of the priest aU, with a sudden Jerk, ris* to their feet. This performance was re- peated three tlmoa, and last of all they all turned their heads slowly to the right and back again. All this time a sort of ch^nt was going on, arising from armie invififcle source. Our accompany- ing Tartar told us when the "service" was about to conclude, and hurried us away as the "congrcijation" began to disperse. The mosque was atterly des- titute of decoration, except for a quant- ity of beautliul Eastern carpets spread over the floor, which we should have gladly carried away with us. AT THE KHAN'S PALACE we bad met some friendly Qermans with whom we made an excursion to Tchoufout Kale, a dee&rted village Ijr- Ing hi«;h above the tr>wn of Backtchi- Sarai, from whi<'h there Is a grand view of the .sea and lailan Mountains. An execrable road, which would be con- sidered impassable in any other country than Russia, leads to this highland, and the wvight of our carria^ was iacrcaned by a fat ol<l Tartar, whom we took with us to oblige our German companions. This useless (4>pendage call«d tumaelf a guide, though all be did was to carry the Crennan gentleman's pbotograplUc apparatus, and nearly put every one's eyes out with the points, which be al- lowed to project from underneath his arm. On our way down the hUl we vis- ited the Ouspenski Conveot â€" Convent of the Ascension â€" where the cells are hesvn out of the rock of the mountain side. A night's railroad journey brouj;ht us to Ekaterinaslaff, so called, if I inis- take not, becau.se the great Catherine once came down here and laid the corner st<sie of the r.'.rhej" handsonie cathedral. From here there were no direit trains, and as we found we should have to be sitting in railway stations and cbanj;- ing cans at all brmrs of the day and night, wo concluded to take a staam- boat up the Dnieper, <lir«ict to Kieff. It was liardly a happy decision, fur there were various delays from sandbanks and fog, and the journey was loo^ and ted- ious. It looked ais if no foreigner bad ever been on one of these boau before. Most of thu uvu^seiigejv were moujiks (peasants.) and for a great part of the way we shared the lUHt-cLass with a young Russian woman, who shut herself into the la<lles' caiiln with every door and windmv clooed. to be happy in the true national fa.shion ; for, with respect to fresh aii°. the Kusslans are even UK>re impassable than the in habitants of the Vaterland. Nor oan I eay much for the beauty of the Dnieoer ; but a fme day aiwi a sheet of water make any laud- scope tolerable, and tiic approach to Kieff at evnning, with its towers, and domes glistening in the moonlight, and a great tinry crtrH borne on a colossal tXatiu^, fUuiiiik^ upon tlie h^b river bank above ttie landing, was ina^kral. Kieff eojoys an exceptionally baaa- tiful situation and Is, pertiaps, THE PRETTIEST TOWN In Bvsaia. It is the "niotber city," but It has been iinprove<l and embellished to sach an extent that it looks aliuost more unxlern than St. Petcnsburg it- self, and it has quite a ptvuliar appear- ance of oomturt and praefierity. It is oIh) one of the nuaUs of Icaming in Rus- sia and appears to be esi>ecially the cen- tre for the more liberal education of women. Its female gymnasium or col- lage is famowi, and m:uiy amoi^ the younger dai^htora of Russia have re- celvexl an excvllent training there. In Kieff unu returns to a uuuiber of rich ami beautiful churches, inferior only to tboHo of McHcow.

Another long railway journey, a lit- tle iiioru fooling with pttfeporls on the frontier to make sure that we were not Rudniau subjw'ls tvuapiug from the coun- try without p«>riiilfwion, and we were at home, so to speak, in Vienna. The lliui- .sian journey was a thing of the past. Its moral is thus: Whoever feels attract- ed toward this great comitry, undoubt- edly the land of the fulupe on this side of the water, may visit It without fear of hanlship or peril. Except for having to be provided Svitb a pampori, he will be subjected to no more inconvcnleuco than in any other country; he will be unmolested and he will feel perfwtly at his ease ; not to luention that he will meet with a general justic-e and falr- iit»« of dnallng whii-h apiicars astound- ing to those fresh from iliu more <le,;cn- er.itu coiiuurias of Eurojic.

Many queer things are done by £Sm people of Chicago. Their latest movs is destined to atir the n>edical professioa to a great extent. It is the establish- ment of a hypnotic olinic, to be Institut- ed by the Illinois Medical College. Is the announcement of Um college tbs course In hypnotism is put under tM bead of therapeutics and Is specifically termed "psycho-therapy," while Dr.; Herbert A. Parkyn.who will baveeborge' of the work, la styled "Lecturer oi ' Psycho-Therapeutics." Tha elinio wiB ' be free. The use of hypnotism in medical ool- leges LI common enough abroad, bat ha* never been attempted on this aids. In France, Germany, Austria, Holland and Sweden special hospitals have been established, which are devotad ezclo- •ively to the treatmsnt ot diasaae by hypnotic soggeation. The list of di^ eases whi-h will be treated at the com- ing clinic embracas the oommoneat mala- dies. The class of con^lalnta which are claimed to yield most readily to tha influence of hypnotic suggestion U that embracing all functional nervous d»- rangements. Under this beading is in- cluded every disorder of the human syiK tern which does not arise from actaally diaeaaed tissue or from the use of drugs. From insomnia to monomania the nerv- ous troubles make up the greater por- tion o fthe sickness of the world. And in these cases it Is claimed that hypnotio â- uggestioo is almost A SPECIFIC. Among the remarkable cares expected to be performed at the new cUdIc i* that of stammering. When in the hyp- notic sleep the stutterer will repeat tha most difficult sentences without a alip ; heuce, the patient Is to lie treated oy re- peated practice and suggestion. A dif- ferent procedure la to be adopted whers the patient is subject to vocal spasms which t^e up bis enunciating ixiwers. This will consist in Csaching the pa- tient to hypnotize himself and to go to sleep for a short time when the spusma o^-ur. In the reLvxcd interval the spasm is gone and the subject talks on like a perfect man. Amusing scenes will tia witnessed in this hypnotic clinic. Imag- ine a victim of the stammering habit who has not sookea a word correctly for forty years repeating with perfect accuracy "I wish a witch would swit<-h yon wiij» a Swiss switch," "I'ster Piper picked a peck ot pickled peppers," Tbeophilus Thistle, the unsucce-ssl ul thistle pi-ker," "Oxford Is a truly rural place," au I the like. The difference ot ability to ulk in and out of the hypuot- Ic atata is sure to tx) funny. These Chicago hypuotiibts claim that chronic rbeunuitism is to succumb to their power. They claim that as mus- cular rlieuniatism is cou-sed by de|)u»> Its of lactic acid and other chemical sub- stances which in time are reatworbed. nottiing aliDornuU It left except an Im- pntHsion on the mind by the previous pain, which Ls so strong that the pa- tient actually feels real i>ain in ihe usa of the ouoe afflicted miL.<cle8. When under the influence of hypnosis it is an easy matter, the nyjmotists claim. i.o argue the idea of jxitu out ot the pa- tient's mind and oouvinro him that b* oan use the muscle as well as ever. These Chicago physicians will also set ap their hypm)tic treatment as a rival to the Keeley gold oure.
