Spiscopahans are Dissenters—the

in Scotland, as in England, a com

the Church. The few Seottidi
Episcopalians, who are the highest
of the High Church, are very restive
under this state of things and as
are not so acknowledged eyeg by the
Church of England.
A conference of about two hundred
of the leading ministers and ciders
of the established Church of Seot
and was held recently called ‘rial
reference to the present position
of the church.” lfr. Piiin,
Capt. Kinloch, and Mr. Minzies,
agent of the ( liurch, were appointed
a committee to prepare a paragraph
embodying the result of the confer
ence, and the following is the mins
utc:
“The general conclusion was that
in the meantime, lucre is no call
for the Church to take united pub
lic action, and That her best defence
is for ministers and members to do
good work, each in his own spl ere
At the same time, it was evident
from the tone Qf the. meeting that
the members and friends of the
Church maybe lelied on to take 1 , ac

cor.cludei liis excellent sou aon on

‘‘But my dear brethren, let us

you as men, it must be confessed
that the subject is envoived in much
mystery. latitmle of

on this subject in every particular,
but there are somethings certain.

and clotted hands, u.s tears- o\er
miserable Jerusalem: know by all
the persecutions of the Apostles, by

the tortures of rack and thumbscrew
and lambent flame, that the ancient

Tho French at the outbreak of
the Franco Prussian war used to
make disparaging remarks regarding
the spectacled Germans. But in
cralice if-seil the people do not have
Th'6' best eyes in the world. Mr
I err n states that not less than from
one-eight to one-tenth of the men
of the French Annv are unlit for en r
vices an account of defective vision.
Nearly half of the ofiiicers trained
in the Pulyteehuiquo are una
ble to see well; and M, Perrin propo
ses spectacles to be more generally
adopted as a remedy for this serious
delect in a service requiring tried
lent eyes.
M. Fig liter, in a paper read before
the' Anthropological Society of Yri
euna, thinks that tho lands now
known as Burkov and Greece were
first peopled by' the Iberians, and;
that they were succeeded bv the 11- J
lyrians and Thracians— the two ra
ces called llchtsgians in ancient au
thors. The Hellenes conquered!

Dr. I>. W. Richardson, who does
not believe that that which steals
4wax a. man’s .hr;u'v ~vw bL";uVpso
maui.uts of hk oifspring, is’‘good
for food,” says that he finds a fatal
dose of alcohol to bo in the propor
tion of one dram of liuid to each
pound weight of the warm-blooded
animals. In a man weighing 120
pounds, a dose of 15 ounces would
certainly be fatal, unless tho catas
trophe were averted by proper anti
dotes. The only advantage the alco
hol in its action on the human or
ganization, is its etfect in the first
stages of its use.
Hydkopobia ix Germany.—An !
interesting case is reported from
Germany of the successful treatment
of hydrophobia with the terrible
drug currare, which paralyses the
motor nerves, though without affect
ing the sensitive nerves, so stops
muscular convulsion. The some
what, daring experiment was made
bj r Dr. Oifenburg, wiio treated the
case at Muster, in Westphalia. The
patient, a j easant girl, was bitten by
a mad dog on the 23rd of July, but j
the symptoms of hydrophobia did hot;
come on till the 10th of October, ;
when morphia and chloroform were |
tried in vain. Doctor Offcnbnrg!
then injected three ccntigramcs oL
r curare, an injection five times re-* I
pouted, though not always in quite !
equal quantity; during the next four
ami a half hours. The convulsions
.began t > diminish after the second
injection and soon disappeared;
paraysis of rile ches twas prevented
by artificial inspiration, and in a
fortnight the girl was quite well
again. The remedy is a terrible
one, but the disease is still more so, j
so that the success of any remedy !
will be to the public a relief.
Specific Gravity of Frozen
Mercury.— The density of frozen
mercury has been deternrned by
Mallet to be 14.19. He put a
weighed quantity in a flask, froze it
in alcohol, and determined its spec
tic gravity by calculation. The den- 1
sity at ordinary temperatures is 13.

Gases Evolved by Fruits. —lf
we examine the gas contained in
iouiid fruit we shall find it corppaged
of oxygen and nitrogen in the same
proportions as constitute theutmuire
phere. If the skin becomes torn a
species of combustion takes place,
th e oxygen combines to form carbon
ic acid, and a true fermentation sets
in. Hence the popular notion that
decaying fruits in cellars contami
nate the air appears to be well found

The Use of Dynamite in Arctic
Explorations. —The reports of
Gaptain Narer, commander of the
English expedition to the North
Pole, poiut out several novel appli
cations of recent scientific
inventions. The electric light will
transform into day the unbroken
night of five months, while dinamite
will open the way across bearers of
ice hitherto regarded as impassible.
It is necessary to lay the cartriges on
the surface, and their explosion will
rapidly create, a passage. When
great masses of ice are encountered
they can be rapidly piereed by tun
nels. By causing the simultaneous
explosion of several charges it is
possible to open up free channels for
the passage of ships. If Captain

CANCER CAN BECURED
Cancer has front time immemorial been
a great scourge to the human race, and is
now becoming the greater. For many
years it hits been held ly the medical pro
fession, and generally believed by the |>eo
ple, that Cancer is incurable ; that once
its roots take hold upon a victim, there is
no chance for a sufferer to escape a lin
gering terrible horrible disease, not only
to the sufferer, but to his friends. Hap
pily, this fell destroyer necil no kinder
be feared Dr. 11. T. Bond, of Phila
delphia, swell known physician, of large
experience, lias for years devoted himself
to tlie S|ecial study and treatmi-nt of Can
cer, and the result of his experience is his
discovery for the radical cure of Cancer
without the use of either knife caustic or
plasterp, and without pain.
The majority of persons arc greatly de
ceived in regard to tue first symptoms and
apjiearance of this most dreaded disease,
considering its painful front the commence
ment. This is a sad mistake, carrying
thousands to an untimely grave. In most
cases there is little or no pain until the
disease is far advanced. The only symp
toms for many months, and evt n for years
are occasionally a stinging, darting, stai>-
! bing, shooting, smarting, itching, burning
| craw ling or creeping sensation, and in
| some case*s not any of these- If a malady
; is growing worse instead of better, it is
i conclusive evidence it is of a malignant
I character and demands immediate atti n
j tion. If you have a branny, scaly, wany
: appearance, with an occasional breaking
i oat of these upon the face, lip or nose, or
any other portion of the skin, attended
with any of the above symptoms, ora sen
sation of a fly being on it, or a hair tick
liner, it, is certain evidence it is Cancer,
1 and there should be no delay in using Lr.
Bond’s treatment. Life is too valuable
■ to be tampered with.
, Dr. Bond’s treatment consists of an
. “Antidote” that is applied locaily : this
! at once arrests the growth of the C’anctr
| and by chemical action neutralizes its maD
j ignity, rendering it harmless and ebang
; ingit to a simple sore, winch nature, as
! sisted by constitutional remt dies, soon
! heals when the skin is unbroken, anti the
Cancer is a hard tumor, the Antidote doe
not make an open 6ore, but removes it by
Absorption). In connection with the An*
fidote is used the Specific, taken internal
civ. This tones up the general health,
“■•fri'rfgthcns the patient, purifies the blood
j and eliminates the poison from the sys
tem. Dr. Bond's Antidote contains nei
j tLer caustic nor poison, and can be ap
i plied t° 'he most delicate tk-suis of the
I body without injury and therefore is the
only remedy that can be used in internal
Cancer, such as cancer of the stomach,
cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Bond's
1 remedies, with foil directions for success
ful treatment will be sent to any part of
the world.
Pamphlets and full particular free.
