Worms" on the Face.

An English editor informs q correspondent
who signs himself "A Troubled One"-as
follows:
Little black specks are occasionally oh.
served upon the nose and forehead of some
individuals. These specks, when they exist
in any number, are cause of much insight
illness. They are minute corks, if we may use
the term, of coajulated lymph, which close
the orifces of some of the pores or exlalent
vessels of the skin. On the skin, immediate
y adjacent to them, being pressed with the
finger nails, these bits of coaguated lymph
will come from it in vernicular FORM
They are vulgarly Lalled "tlesh worms" many
persons fancying them to be living creatures.
These may be got rid OF, and prevented
from returning by washing with tepid water,
by proper friction with towel, and by the
application of little cold cream. The lon
ger these little piles are permitted to remain
in the skin, more firmly they become fixed;
ture, they are converted into little bony
.pines, as dense as bristles, and having much
of that character.
They should be thoroughly but cautiously
squeezed, says another author, and on re.
tring to rest, paste should be applied to
the part affected. Recipe for the paste:
Take one ounce of powdered bitter almonds,
and one ounce of barley flour, and enough
honey to make the above ingredients into
paste There is another and still more
simple remedy which you may prefer
Battle the spots several times day with luke
warm water and sponge, rubbing the
sponge over piece of yellow soap. There
is q healing power in soap distinct from its
cleansing properties.
A REMARKABLE FAcr.-It is truly a re-
markabe fact that nearly all the candidates
for the Vice e-Pre-idency, at the Cincinnati
Convention in June, 1856, are dead Lynn
Boyd, Of Kentucky; J. G. Dobbin, of North
Carolina; General Quiman, of Mississippi;
General Rusk, of Texas; Aaron Brown, of
Tennessee, were presented as candidates by
their respective States, and obtained large
support. They are now sll dead. General
Qnitman received the highest number of
votes of any candidate on the first ballot.
Breckenridge was nominated 10y Col. Harris,
of Illinois, who made very eloquent speech
in his favor, and carried the Conventon.-
Harris is also dead-thus we see that,

A CARD.
u ~, EE,o, If ne VINO

To te Editor Of The Wig
In giving an account Of the short speech which
made on Saturday evening your paper of this morn
ing voc have fallen into some which desire to
correct had no idea OF imputing my colleagues in
the Charleston Convention what seems TO be deduction
of your own that they were trcksters OF the first
water" Nor did | say that the chairman OF the com
mttee on resolutions elected with special reference
to bis capacity to so ingeniousy word platform, as to
Justify different constructions being placed upon it, but
did saw that subsequent his appointment it was f.
csfiosl remarked by that he had that capacity
aud was therefore selected.
Aud was Inexperienced, if understand your edi-
tora correctly ia what said in regard TO the platform
which was reported by committee, which denounced
a. Douglas platform did not mean to say that that
platform was ever adopted by the delegation because
DO not believe the vote was taken upon it, But /
have no doubt majority of our delegation were in favor
of the Cincinnati platform without any alterations, and
that is Senator Douglas platform. Nor did say was
the only one who dissented from the platform reported
by our committee that that was adopted and recon-
nlended 10 the National Committee.
Our committee man on the National Committee, ac-
cordng TO my recollection, informed us what would be
bis course unless otherwise instructed and am not sure
that any vote taken in our delegation on the plat
form before our committee did act in the National
Committee; but believe majority Of delegation
conquered with him in opinion the platform, while,
at the same time and others entirely dssented from
him.
| regret now more than ever that the delegation
should have inhibited the publication OF their proceed
ngs at Charleston because should be very unwilling to
m-represent the action of the delegation in any par
ticular
In nothing that said on Saturday evening did mean
to reflect as expressly stated the character of my
colleagues as gentlemen but their action, representa-
tyes OF Virginia had the right to canvass and crcise
if saw h and Of that none have the right to complain
