NATIONAL TEMPERANCE CONVENTIONAL call
has been issued by the President and Secrcta-
rios of the great Temperance Convention held
at Washington last year for another Nation
al Convention, to be held at the same place on
the 4th of March next. The Convention is to
be no exclusive body, devoted to the promotion
of this or that particular organization. 1t is
designed, on the contrary, to be as broad as the
diversified field of our labors, as a Common
Brotherhood of Reform, each member of which
will be still left to labor in that sphere which
has seemed to himself most advisable to select.
Nor will it be requisite that those joining in the
consultations deemed so necessary at this great
National Centre, should come accredited by the
associations with which they may be connected.
That will be left to their own convenience, or
sense of propricty, although credentials would
be advisable.
There is no place, we apprchend. where the
evils of intemperancc arc more CONSPICUOUS than
in Washington, and for this and other obvious
reasons we rejoice that the Convention has been
called.

GT'THE ScALPEL; a Journal Of Health,
adapted to Popular and Professional Read
ing, and the Exposure of Quackery,; Edited
by EDWARD DIXON, M. d., and sold by
Charles ii. Ring, corner of John-st, and
Broadway, N. Y.-No vi. February, 1885,
This work is decidedly unique, as well in its
object as in the manner in which it is sought
to be attained. The Editor is bent on bring
ing the mysteries of the medical profession
within the comprehension Of the people, and
tearing the mask from quackery wherever il
may be found. His pen is as sharp as any
surgeons knife, and the way he uses it in
laying open the hollow pretences of some of
his professional brethren is terror to dun
ces of whatever school. The Scalpel is
published quarterly, and sold for 25 cents a
number. The number before us is as racy
and entertaining az any of its predecessors.

Tho Impr,,ation Of a Priest


Among the windiest Of tho Doctors Of that
sickly patient called Divinity in the whole
United States, is George w. Bethunc, formerly
Of Philadelphia, now of Brooklyn. He has
grown to Aldermanic rotundity in spite of those
notifications of the flesh which the populsr pi.
city of our great cities so rigdly exacts of those
who minister ut her altars A more valiant de-
nounccr Of the little vices and peccadillocs on
which the American Church has set the seal of
her rcprobation, does not exist while at the
same time he Is a faithful conscrvator of the
domestic institution which, according to that
Church, is sanctioned by patriarchs, prophets
and apostles. He is also a most Jealous belicv-
er in that fundamental doctrine of the same
Church, that children Of one Heavenly Father,
whose compilations arc not of the same identical
shade, cannot (such being the ordination of
Providence y live together in peace and fra
ternity, and therefore that the whites are bound
to colonize their rker-skinncd brethren on the
coast of Africal
Now this pious theological Doctor went to
Washington the other day, doubtless for the
purpose of holding sweet communion with
the saints who had flocked there before him to
pay their devotions to our Nations Divinity,
and to fructify his soul by fresh draughts from
that river Of salvation which flows from tho
National Capitol. Chock lull of patriotism is
this DR.. Bcthunc Of course, as 30 eminent a
saint should be. In lecture before tho ltera-
ry, scientific and fashionable portions of the
modern Jerusalem, he took occasion-to quote
one of the letter writers-to speak of this Union,
the incstimablc blessings that would flow from
its perpetuation, and the incalculable and dire
calamity that would result from its dissolution.
Gathering animation with every sentence he ut
tered upon this fruitful theme, until his soul
seemed completely absorbed in the subject, he
burst into an exclamation delivered with an en-
crgy and enthusiasm that must have been wit
messed to form any conception Of" GoD f! PAL
81 THE ARM THAT SHALL BE RAISED TO REMOVE
THE FIRsr STONE OF THIS GLORIOUS UNION -
For nearly fivc minutes the building shook with
the plaudits of his audience, and for a while il
seemed as II his lecture must there end.
As, according to the highest sanity authori-
ty, the first stone of this glorious Union is Sla
very we of course understand the Doctor to
have invoked the curse of his God upon whoev-
er should attempt its removal We shall con-
sole ourselves under this terrible imprccation of
the very terrible DIR. Bethuno by the reAec-
ton, that the God whom he and other Atheists
worship Is not the true God, the God of Justice,
Freedom and Love, but being who is alto
gcthcr such an one as themselves cruel, re-
vcngcful, dishonest, hcartless. He that sit
teth in the heavens shall laugh; the Almighty
shall have them in dcrision.'

there is too much machinery, creed, discipline

BY thus feeding tho continental press, il is
hoped to imbuc public sentiment abroad as well
as at home with the principles Of peace and
brotherhood. These 'Olivc leaves arc also to
be distributed by hand among the ouvTier of

made, in accordance with q suggestion Of n.

PITTSBURGH VIsITER.-Wc intended to say a
good word for this paper several weeks ago,
when it entered upon new volume, but other
subjects crowded the matter from our mind.
Let us say now that Mrs. Swisshcln makes one
Of the most entertaining wceklies in all the
country. Her editorials arc written in free,
off-hand style, but are always as sensible in
matter as they arc piquant in stilc. Her pccu-
Iaritics are precisely those which always arrest
attention, and reward it too. She has lately
taken her husband into partnership as an Assist
ant and numbers among her correspondents,
DIR. Vim. Elder and Mrs. Southworth. Jacob
Hcaton is the Agent of the Visiter for Salem,
and will be glad to forward subscriptions.

Hon. r.. X. MEADE.--We are informed that
our worthy representative addressed a large con-
course of his felow-citizens Of Brunswick at
their last Court October 2Sth) BY addressing
his constituency, Mr. Meade may confirm and
extend his reputation as speaker; but he can
not possibly effect much change in public senti-
ment for this simple reason, that public senti-
ment is already with him. Such unanimity OF
opinion We have scarcely ever known AZ is ex-
hibited in the almost universal approval of Mr.
Meade's course in relation to the compromise
bills. The Democratic party are ofcourse warm
in his support, whilst we have heard many intel
gent and influential wings express the pleasure
it will give them to support him. 1t must be
highly gratifying to Mr. Meade, to find from
personal intercourse with his constituents, how
very entirely and ardenty they sustain him in
his gallant stand in behalf Of Southern rights.
The applause of swell done, good and faithful
servant" greets him wherever he goes. gtI
