VAroR BATHS. Now is the seasoR in which colds
and various affections Of the respiratory organs
prevail. Amongst all the remedial means Of re-
storing the healthy action Of these important or
gans, and securing them from chronic disease, the
vapor bath is one Of the most efficient. In various
other dseases--in affections Of the skin-in dis
ordered hillary secretion-and SO on, these baths
may also be used with the most signal advantage
At Mrs Carroll's elegant establishment, in Broad
way, near the Hospital, these vapor baths, and all
sorts OF medicated baths, can be obtained in the
most advantageou manner

cimens OF the progress from incipent growth to
comparative maturity. He is convinced, from mi.
cause; commencing on the skin Of the potatoe
with little round hobs or elevations about the eyes
when the skin is not broken; when broken the skin
opens and q black fungus is evident, like black
wart spreading and expanding itself so as to forma
diseased surface;i is formed either into dry sponey
substance, or is converted into mass of soft putri
tying substance. His recommendation of treatin ne
the disease would be to avoid farm yard manure;
which, In state OF fermentation, produces every
species OF fungus brought into existence and nour-
shed by heat. In the wheat crop in England, no
smut has been found except where dung was pro-
fusely used; he recommends manure mixed with
lime as sure antidote; no fungus can exist IN that
compost.
Dr. GARDNER gave salutary caution to purcha-
sers OF potatoes to avoid all articles which are dis
gulsed in sicky state by clay, purposely to avoid
the detection e OF the disease: He recon-
mine well the surface, see if there be any pro-
lection or tuber, and not to purchase those that
possess ary Of these appearances.
Several other gentlemen expressed heiropinions,
which amounted to nothing, in addition to the tes
umony OF the farmers, at the last meeting The
subject is, so far obscure as it was at the com.
mencement; az inexpicable here, as it is by the
printed reports from Germany, England, and Ire
land: mysterious in its origin, equally SO in its pro-
gress, and painfully in its probable practical in
tluence upon the human constitution. II was pro-
posed to appoint committee Of scientific men 10
sft the subject to lis foundations; but there was az
unwecome appendage to the motion Of levy OF
$500 to defray the expenses, which caused the sus-
pension Of the motion. The matter may now be
considered as abandoned. Every part Of yester-
days meeting has been so far partcularized, in
order to show the absence of all order and system
in the management Of a subject which every five
minutes was interrupted by the extraneous matter
introduced most unnecessarily and, in many in.
stances, presumptuously. Nothing further appear
ing before the Club, except the division OF a few
unnaturally sized and mysteriously propagated
apples with pears, the venerable President adjourn
ed the meeting for purposes more congenial, ev
denily to their respective abdominal exgences,
after tedious, Improbable and miscellaneous dis
cussion OF three hours.

DEAR SIR:-I received on Saturday eve
ming last, through the hands of my friend
William Price, Esq. an account of the pro-
ceedings ofa public meeting held at Hagers-
town, in March, 1899, in honor of Mr.. CLAY
when on his return home from Washington,
after The termination of Mr.. Adams admin
istration; and | regret exceedingly that the
proceedings were not in my possession in
time TO have enabled me to introduce them
in my address, delivered on Friday evening
last, as | should not now have to trouble you
by this reference TO them. AT this meeting,
a speech was made by Mr.. Clay, and toast
given. The Irish Catholic Emancipation
Bill happened to be then pending before the
British Parliament, and was one OF the great
political topics of the day. In the speech
made by Mr.. Clay, he alluded to the subject
and spoke out with his characteristic elo-
quence and force in favor of the measure, as
one which greatly interested him as a
friend of Ireland and mankind; and when he
concluded he gave the following toast
"Success TO the Irish Catholic in his noble
struggle for Irish Liberty"
Very respectfully, yours,
SAMUEL M. SEMMES.
