of France with population of 1,OOO 600 SOULS has
only 46 churches, or one church to $4,000 nhab-

fourth district has only to $4,000 souls The city
of Brooklin, N. Y, has nearly one church to each

The CENTRAL AMERICAN QUESTION. - The
Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
writes under the date of the 9TH:
The able debate which has sprung up in the
Senate upon the Central American question was
continued i'll the Senate to-day, by Mr.. Foot, of
Vermont. There is a remarkable degree Of unani-
nifty in the Senate on this subject, and it is to be
hoped that in regard to it, Congress and the coun-
try will present an united front.
As the matter now stands the negotiations con-
corning the Interpretation of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty is terminated and on our side, we rely upon
the obligations Of public faith for faithful COM
plance by Great Britain with the stipuatons of the
treaty, which require that she shall abandon the
exercise of any authority or jurisdiction in virtue
of the Mosquito pretention; that she should sur
render to Honduras the tract of country adjacent
to the Balize which she has seized upon and colo
nized and that she should also withdraw from the
Bay Islands, which she has seized without shadow
of title, the pretence that they are dependencies
of the Balize.
She manitests no disposition as vet to comply
with these, our reasonable expectations If she
persist in her pretensions, the question is, what
shall we do? There are other resorts besides the
ultima ratio of war. We can abrogate the treaty,
and take possession of islands convenient for naval
purposes, and also coionize the Isthmus region,
which we are in fair way of doing in spite of the
treaty. 1t is not at all probable that such course
on our part will invite war. There is growing
disposition among our people to assert their supre
macy over the North American continent, as against
any new attempt by foreign power to obtain or
extend possessions within its limits.

"RUsT." 1t had been generally conceded that
rust was disease peculiar to grain only; but re.
cent intelligence from Washington has entirely
dissipated all such conclusions, and now have the
most positive assurance that it occasionally attacks
the human species. We see it mentioned by the
Ex-Hon. Horace Greedy, Of the New York Tri-
bune, that he was attacked by Bust in walking
down the Avenue in front of the Capitol Whether
the disease is contagious Or not the ex-congress-
man does not say. One thing is evident however,
that once having recovered from an attack of Rust
does not exempt you from passing through another
ordeal, as the case Of the Tribune man has clearly
for he had barely recovered from
the first attack, when he was again prostrated by
a second paroxysm of the same malady, and from
the effects Of which he has not yet entirely recov-
cred. Rust is from Arkansas.

PoJEcTED RAILWAY TO THE PAc1FIc.-An Ame-
rican citizen, resident in Paris communicates to the
National Anteiligemeer an extraordinary piece of
intelligence, which indicates much clearer and bet
ter understanding between France and England as
regards the United States and the Central American
question than is generally thought in the United
States. NJ. PEREIRE, the NAPOLEON of railroads
and new operations in France, and man of immen-
Sc fortune, has, with the Credit Mobiller, made
contract for building railroad in Honduras to the
Pacific. Twenty Or more Of the best engineers
have already sailed to survey the bays, barbors,
coast and route and if their report confirms the re-
presentations that have been made, the Emperor
has said the Government will garantee an interest
OF four per cent on the investment, which would
very promptly secure any amount Of capital that
might be required for the purpose. Of course all
this is with the consent and appreciation of Great
Britain, and the correspondent hopes the work may
be promptly commenced and succeed, for the
United States would be far the greatest gamers
by it,

Mons. AS performances consist entirely of Me-
chanical Chemical, Scientific, and Philosophical
experiments. The only objection that we have
heard urged against his entertainments is the want
Of room-the hall at each representation being
filled to its uttermost capacity, and host of out-
siders" rainly seeking admission. Nothing more
clearly shows than this the necessity of action to-
wards erecting suitable hall for balls, theatricals,

that hall to be devoted to such purposes would
pay handsome revenue. Mr. A. gives another

FLOUR FOR BURS.-In the American !lfed;-

advice to apply -four to scalds and burns: 1--WE
still see reported daily, an appalling number of
deaths by burns and scalds not one If which we
take on ourselves to say, need prove Vital Or would
do so, if a few pounds of wheat -four could be
promptly applied to the wounds made by fire,
and repeated until the nflammatory stage had
passed. We have not known a fatal case of scald-
ing or burning in which this practice has been per-
sued, during more than thirty years experience,
and treated hundreds in both public and private
practice. We have known the most extensive
burns by falling into cauldrons of boiling oil, and
even molten "copper" and yetth patient was rescued
by this simple and cheap remedy, which, from its
infalible success, should suppant all the fashionable
nostrums whether oil, cotton, ad-water ice tur-
pentne, or pain-cxtractors, every one of which has
been tried thousand times with fatal results, and
the victims have died in cxcruciating agony, when
few handfuls of -four would have Gained them
to sleep, and rescued them from pain and DEATH
Humanity should prompt the profession to publish
and republish the facts on this subject which are
established by the authorities of standard medical
works on both sides of the Atlantic
