without the delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.

It affords relief to a largo number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destimte sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.

Senator Sumner, according to common report, will ap-
pear upon the lecture platform this season to a much
greater extent than ever before. He is annonnced to speak
almost every night between October 11 and December 3,
having 21 engagements in New England and 16 outside
of it, in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. His
lecture is entitled, " The Question of Caste." Wendell
Phillips is reported to have more calls to lecture than he
can comply with, while William Parsons, the Irish orator,
says a Boston correspondent, is the most popular name in
Now England among the new candidates for lyceum honours.
Mr.Gough, owing to the labour incident upon the pi eparation
of his autobiography and the illness of his wife, will lecture
very little this season.—A letter from Mr. Carlyle is pub-
lished in the American Scotsman, a new weekly paper of
New York, edited by John Stewart, addressed to William
Denovan, reviewing his pamplet, " The Temple of Isis."
Mr. Carlyle praises the intellect, the imagination, the
earnest character of his friend, finding in his pamphlet a
tone of sombre eloquence, and vestiges of real literary
skill. Then he regrets that such powers should be operating
in a chaotic field. He advises Mr. Denovan "not to em-
ploy his intellect on things where no intellect can avail—
to sow good seed on realms of mere cloud and shadow !
The highest intellect which issues in no certainty has com-
pletely failed. The world of practice and fact is the true
arena for its inhabitants—wide enough for any or for all
intellects of men—and never lay more incumberod with
sordid darkness, and pernicious delusions, than even
now Probably you will not adopt this advice,
almost certainly not at once ; nor shall that disaffect me at
all. Your Tract I found throughout to be rather pleasant
reading, and to have a certain interest ; nothing in it, ex-
cept one small Section, treating of a thing I never men-
tion, unless when compelled—the thing which calls itself
' Spiritualism' (which might more fitly be called Ultra-
BRUTALISIC,' and 'LITURGY Of Dead-Sea APES')—was dis-
agreeable to me." _ .

Strange accounts are given of the healing pro-
perties of a new oil, which is easily made from the yolks of
eggs, and is said to be much employed by the German colo-
nists of South Russia, as a means of curing cuts, bruises,
scratches, &c. The eggs are boiled hard, the yolks removed,
crushed, and then placed over a fire, and stirred carefully
tfll the whole substance is on the point of catching fire,
when the oil separates and may be poured off. Hen eggs
are considered the best, and nearly two teaspoonfuls of
oil may be gained from a single yolk.—North German Cor-
respondent.

—The health of the Holy Father is excellent, especially since
abandoning all other remedies, he has confined himself entirely
to Du Barry's Revalenta Arabico. Food, of which he consumes
a plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly bene
ficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot praise this excel
