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 tive steps in the defence of the Na tional Establishment of religion, should it of or *be necessary; 'an l those present showed their readi ngs to do all in their power to se cure to the Church a* bv law es tablished the sympathy and support of all who hold the i undameuta! principles of her constitution.” Rev. W. W. Landrum, Pastor first Baptist ririiumlL of. cor.cludei liis excellent sou aon on tile subject ot lied, in the following terse and sensible manner: ‘‘But my dear brethren, let us hear the conciitsion of the whole matter. After all that has been said, ami 1 have eudeavered to keep back nothing from you, but to ad.lress you as men, it must be confessed that the subject is envoived in much mystery. latitmle of o])inion may*be allowed, within cer tain limits, which have been mßou ted to you- We may not he a unit on this subject in every particular, but there are somethings certain. The condition of the lost is sad 0110 ugh. Christ, was not a fanatic, perishing in a scheme of trival im portance to the race of mankind, i You may be sure of that.

Every nun, wiih tire Spirit of Christ in him, shrinks with dismay from fife fate of those wiio waste their blief • probati m iu the delusive pleasures of sin and recklessness. There is no tneology, no philosophy, no human language in which saha tion and uamiutipn are convertable and syiioiiimons k-rms. Justice, if we have any adequate or rational view* on the subject, demands that the latiitv make great distinctions between the righteous and the wicked, between him that servetli hTfn.atid liim that serveth him not.

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! them but adopkd from thcm'Vhat advancement-hud be3n nude in mt and science, and thus secured a cred it for progress which is. lightly due to the Pelasgians. 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. great contraction taking place in the act of solidification. 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 ed. 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.

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.
