JOHN WESLEY AS A PHYSICIAN!

Not many perhaps of those to whom the name and
fame of John Wesley are known identify the great
aectary with the work of which he was not a little
proud. his "Primitive Physick, or an Easy and
Natural Method of Curing Most Diseases," printed by
William Pine, in Narrow Wine-street, Bristol, and
sAd at the New Room in the Horse Fair, and in
London, 1762. It was lately submitted for the edifi-
cation of the pharmaceutists at their Liverpool confer-
ence, among a century of old boaks, and Wesley's an.
notincement that " every man of common sense (unless
in s one rare case.) may prescribe either to himself or his
neighbour, and way be very secure from doing tutrm
where he can do no good" was compared with his odd
recipes. Among the remedies which he approves as
" tried"—a word which he thus made proverbial in
the Methodist connection—is bleeding for consump-
tion. The patient is to lose eix ounces of blood every
day for a fortnight if he live so long, and then every
other day, then every third day, then every fifth day
for the same time. The gout is to be cured by the
application of a raw lean beef steak; for twisting of
the bowels, en,', two, or three pounds of quicksilver in
water. The pharmaceutists came to the conclusion
that Wesley was more succesifal as a throb .igian
than a physici en, and that his expel ience of the value
of " untut erd oratm m sense" in his formsr c spacity
had induced him to undervalus the necessity for a
basis of ',killed knowledge in the latter.

Ble,—lt is quite refreshing after the monotony to
which fltourbridge has been accustomed, to read the
correspondence that has lately appeared in your weekly,
and it is to be hoped some good will accrue to the
town by the thorough ventilation of the subjects therein
advanced. That there has been a lack of public spirit
few among us will attempt to deny, but it cannot possibly
tend to the encouragement of that spirit, if we are to
range ourselves into rival parties, each blaming the other
for not possessing that which time has shewn neither to
hale posiessed to the extent which could have been
desired. It is in the power of the ratepayers if they
choose to exercise their privilege, to send only such men
to represent them at the Board of Commissioners as will
advocate measures, which they may from time to time
in their best judgment consider [nest conducive to their
interests as a body iLd they have also the power to call
public meetings, at which questions of public importance
could be discussed, so as to ascertain the popular teal*
in regard to them. This Later course has Rot hitherto been

THE HISTORY OF THE PALACE OF
ST. CLOUD.

The Palace of St. Cloud which hae just been burned
has been connected with the history of France for
yearly 300 years. It was here, on the 2nd of August,
that Henry 111., passing through the vestibule,
wan aseassinated by the Dominican monk, Jacques
Clement. In 1658 Louie XIV. purchased the place,
and preeented it to hie brother, the Duke of Orleans.
who laid out immense sums of money in improving and
adorning it. D. remained in the possession of the
frl«ans family for upwards of a century, when it ',gain
becarn« a royal residence, Louie XVI. purchasing it
for Marie Antoinette, who made it her favourite
holiday horns. After '92 it passed into the hands of
the people for a short period, till, on one of the last Jaye
of the century known in history as the 18th Brumaire,
Napoleon Bonaparte, meeting some of his friends in the
old Salle de l'Orangerie, &tens/led and settled the
arrangements which made him the absolute master of
France, and St. Cloud an item in hie private property.
Perhaps because it was thence that he to k his first
decided step towards the throne Napoleon always
loved St. Cloud, and generally lived there when at
home. The palace has had its name connected with
other revoluti, nary eras, not lets important for France
than that of the 18:1 Bnimaire. The decrees which
led to the Reeoluti, n of July were "done at St. Cloud"
by Charles X. Louie Phdlipe, fleeing from Paris on
the 2,Elf of February, 184«, stopped and reefed awhile
at St. Cloud. The proclamation in which Napoleon
111. made known to has people the Imperial coned..
skins of which the 011ivier Ministry was later the out.
ward and visible eign was dated from S-. Cloud. And
filially, it was from this, his favourite residence, no it
had been his uncle's that the Emperor went away last
July to the war.

Father Pore Plus IX from his enemies, draire to take this
first otportunity of declaring before the Christian wend the
bad faith of the Florentine Government.
"By the terms of the convention entered into at the capi-
tulation, the honours of war' were accorded to the Ponti-
fical army, and the Florentine Government, moreover,
pledged itself to afford every facility to the foreign troops
for returning te their respective homes.
" So far from them conditions being observed, we were, as
soon as we had laid down our arms, throat into prison, fed
on Lread and water for 2i hourk kept under lock and key
for alx days, sod exposed to all the hardships which fall to
the lot of ordinary prisoners.

THE OUTRAGES AT BAZEILLES.

The Curti of Bezellies luol addressed a letter on this
subject to a to respondent in England, a portion of
which the following is a translation :
For six weeks the thoughts my dear parish have
caused inn constant pain. Upon leaving! could take nothing
from he village, which was a heap of ruins, hut the clothes
la which I stood; I am, therefore, prevented from
rendering any assistance to the villagers. I fear, how-
ever, that the generous hearts which would he willing
to assist the poor people In their distresses will Ire in-
fluenced by the false reports which have been spread
abroad, and I feel it my duty to state the truth and to
refute these prejudicial calumnies. A Prussian account,
publishes In the Belgian papers, stated, • It result. from au
Inquiry that has been instituted that the inhabitants, who
were not even National Guards, have been seen In their
shirt sleeves tiring upon the Prussians, and that the women
threw themielves upon the wounded, stabbing them with
their knives.' I think that an Inquiry to have any value
should have the evidence of both sides heard, it
Is false that the inhabitants fired upon tho Pruasisns,
and I defy anyone to prove their having done so.
It is positively false that the women have
ill-
treated the wounded, and I confine myself to one
answer. Not one woman has been either killed Sr
wounded. had they been guilty of such borbarity such
would not have been the case. ills false that the priest
recommended resistance. From the Sunday which preceded
the battle he had. on the conlrxry, impressed upon
the population that in offering • useless resistance they
would expose their village to be burnt and blood to be
shed. It is false that the priest fired on the enemy
During the two days of the strife and on the day followit g
his attention was 0,011 to the ds I g breach and Prussians.
I can easily understand that to entirely destroy a village,
net even sparing the church, end to reduce to misery more
than 2,000 inhabitants, is an act so savage teat It will meet
with universal reprobation, cod that the authors will try to
Justify their barbarity by defaming the poor people. All is
lost; but still we will not admit that we acted dishonourably
and allots ourselves to pus for the culprits when wears noir
the victims. Pious to accept the expreasitin of my highest
esteem—if. lika lino; Cart de Koehler.-

A WINTER CAMPAIGN ANTICIPATED.

Herr Wachenhusefu, the correspondent of the Cologne
Ga.refte, who suggests the possibility of the campaign being
prolonged through the under, ,eactibes In his at latter an
excursion which he made to Weissenhurg, in order to pass
the time required for the completion of the siege works.
The Bights," he premissr, " are bitterly cold, and though
the troops besieging Pail are mostly in cantonments, the
wind blows through the broken .vindow-passes of the
peasants' cottages over the straw or mattress. The tire in
the grate is not sufficient, and soon goes out, for every
stool cannot be brought rear It, and if short com-
mons befall the troops for several days, and even wine
and brandy, with the potatoes come to an eud, the shivering
under our thin garmanta will be terrible. Every contin-
gency must, therefore, be provided for." lie found Motu
the Eldorado of suttlers, whose gipsy waggons block up
every street. The principal ma was full of noisy people
donning the Geneva badge, who, while professing to care
for the wounded, TIM after the army, and sit and look on
with their hernia in their pocketa while the sufferers are con-
veyed away. Those who really devote themselves to their
task are an insiguiliciult minority. In Meaux they sat in
the coW and sang German stings, shrieked, gesticulated, slid
drank, Minato into the night. they seem to be people who
have nothing to do at home, and are here, awaiting the news
of the fall of Paris, to [Mil thither." ins proceeding further
eastward he uset numerous detachments of Garman troop.,
the reserves, who are advancing into France just as numbers
of wouuded French reserves are passing out of it. Near
Meaux the soldiers have erected a triumphal arcls of foliage,
with the motto, " Welcome to Paris." At Nanteuil, the
furthiist, point op to which the railway has been restored,
the heavy gunsand munition waggons were being despatched.
At Nogent, where a depot had been erected, corn, meal, and
bread were lyusg uncovered ou the ground, so that if rain fall
all would be mixed together. In reattors of transport the

NOT ONE MOMENT TO BE LOST!

The SPcle has addressed an appeal to M. Gambetta, from
which the following are extracts There Is not a minute
, to lose.' These were your first words on arriving at Tours,
and you spoke truly. We must act, and act quickly. You
, have, we are told the most extensive powers. Do not fear
to use them. Take severe measures. Some rural popula-
tions have forgotten they are French. Act rigourously.
! Let them understand that it Is their Interest to do their
duty. The decree which has established martial law
In the army has produced an excellent effect; com-
plete the decree, and establish :menial law through-
out the country. You have just seized: and impri-
soned the Municipal Council of Dreux, which made
overtures to the Prussians. That measure is excellent.
Bring these unworthy persons before a Council of War, and
I let them be punished. Decree that every soldier who flies
from or deserts his post shall be shot, that every General who
runs from the enemy or allows himself to be beaten by in-
ferior forces shall be regarded as a traitor to the country,
and put to the sword; that every mayor who has made
advances or entertained.the enemy shall he put to the sword;
that every peasant who has refused provisions to the French
or pointed out to the Prussians the retreats of our soldiers
shall be put to the sword that every prefect who bag not
roused the population to heroism and preached resistance
shall be dieeharged ; that any one who has paralyzed the
national defence shall he declared a traitor; that any one
who refused his aid to the measures taken for that defence
shall he declared a traitor; that any one who, mitiching
these measures, shall spread discouragement shall be de-
clared a traitor; that he who by party spirit seeks to Cause
divisions among the people shall be declared a traitor. Such
are the meaeures which must be taken. Hasten to execute
the work. There is not one moment to be lost."

THE WRONG 31.1 N

"An amusing case of zeal misdirected came to notice this
morning. The landlord of the Hotel de I'L'nivers, taking the
nunshine at his gat., beheld a group of semi armee marching
down from the station, bearing in their midst a gentleman
whose aspect showed him to be a prisoner. The landlord
rubbed his eyes and looked again. There was no mistake!
He rushed Into the group. • What are you doing with thin
gentleman ?' he cried. 'Taking him to prbon for a spy,' they
answered. • It Is the First Secretary of the Austrian Embasny,'
panted our host. The captive was set free, after some
further parley. He had been brought by these gendarmes
au the way from Nevem The worthy gentleman, however,
in the rejoicing of his heart, set a dreadful example. He
ordered a !substantial breakfast for his guardians—whereat
they freely expressed a hope that such another prisoner
might soon fall into their hands."—Parls Correspondent of

THE EMPEROR'S NOVEL.

Among other papers found at the Tuileries is the
draft of a novel by the Emperor. It is a story intended
to illustrate the advantage. of the Imperial system.
The general character of the plot will be gathered from
the following passage which has been translated by a
correspondent of the Daily News

M. Benoit, an honest grocer of Moon-street. went to
America in 1847. After having travelled in the region which
Iles between the Hudson and the Mississippi, he returned to
France In April, 1868, having pained nearly nineteen years
abroad lie had heard distant rumours of chat had occurred
in France since 1818, withcut being able accurately to esti-
mate these charges. Some French refugees told him thst
France groaned under a despotism, and that he would
return to find degraded and impoverished that country
which he had left in so lionrishing a condition under the
reign of brills Philippe. liar friend Brood accordingly
arrives at Breslin the "Fransatlautlc packet. Ile cut, rs the
honour full of prtjudices, regiets, and apprehensions
•• What are these vessels?" ic asks of the first sailor he meets,
'co black and ugly compared with the beautiful sailing
ship. I left behind me." " Why, these are the armour-
plated vessels, the invention ot the Emperor. Clothed In
Iron, they are proof against shirt; and this transformation
has destroyed to a certain extent the naval supremacy of
England." "Possibly; but I regret our old ships wi.h their
masts and picturesque sails." Ile tees the crowd going to-
wards the mayoralty to the elections. Astonishment at
universal suffrage. Astonishment at the railroads which
permeate France; also at the electric telegraph.

The Imperial romancist now conducts his hero to
Paris, and shows him the embellishments of the city
and its fortifications. M. Benoit goes lo buy certain
articles ; he is amazed to find them so cheap, owing to
the commercial treaty. He fancied there were writers
in prison : an error. No disturbances ;no political
prisoner.; no exiles. And so the simple Benoit is
carried about, until he is convinced of the beauty and
perfection of the Imperial system.

A PAINFUL AFFAIR.

At the Worship-street police court, in London, Miss
Alice Maud Kemp, a young lady about eighteen
years of age, of prepossessing appearance, was charged
cu Tuesday with having attempted to commit suicide
by taking laudanwu.
Polies Sergeant Clark said that on Saturday night
he was on duty in Stoke Newiogton, when he was
called to a house, and informed that a young lady had
taken poison. He proceeded upstairs, and found the
prisoner in a state of semi-insensibility. He was in-
formed that she hod taken sornetbiog from a bottle,
and a email phial was put into his bawl which smelt of
landsmen. Witness sent fora surgeon, who attended
and ordered the prisoner to be walked up and down all
night, and she was on no account to be allowed to go
to sleep. Witness remained at the holm all night,
walking the prisoner up and ltown. She gradually
recovered, but was unable to be removed from the
house until the previons afternoon (Monday). She
told him (witness) that she had procured the laudanum
from a druggist, and had bought an ounce and a half.
In reply to the magistrate, the sergeant said that at
pried' there wan no medical evidence.
l'risorer, when asked if she wished to say anything,
replied quietly, "No."
