Sad Aetter from Herschel v. .Uohu.

Ex-Gov. Johnson writes to a political friend in
Michigan
The future darkness is scarcely relieved by
single ray of hope. And il seems that we have
not reached the lowest deep of our woe. The
ruling powers seem bent upon our still greater
humiliation. The theme is one on which it is
too painful to dwell Reason seems to have
surrendered the scepter of craftsmanship to blind
and indicative passion. What is to be the re-
suit God only knows and He only can rescue
the country from the worst fate that ever iell
upon once Free prosperous, and happy people.
Perhaps You may be, in some degree, interested
in what is personal to myself. As you perhaps
know, i resisted secession as long as it was an
open question:. Bat when my State resolved up
on it, | cast my lot with the fortunes of my peo-
BILE, feeling confident that we should reap the
whiriwind.' | have not been disappointed; and
though [ never cherished an emotion of hostil-
lty to the Constitution, the Union of our fore
fathers under it-though / have spent a quarter
of century in trying to uphold both--yet now
find myself at the end of such career, dis
franchised and assigned to position, in respect
to nay political and civil rights, inferior to that
Of my former slaves, My home is in the track
of Shermau's march. His army destroyed near
ly everything | possessed, including my private
papers and title deeds, and reduced me from
comfort to poverty. If were young, and could
be let alone, might rally from my prostration !;
but at my time of life. in view of present sur
rounding, and the darkness that covers the fu-
ture, l scarcely hope to be able to feed and
clothe my family. I say these things in no
spirit OF unmanly repining. Poverty is mis-
fortune; but would welcome it, ifby the sac
ritice, | could bring back the liberties of my
country and the glorics of the Union. But II
tum int l am, very respectfully, your obedi-
ent servant, HERsCHEL " JOHNSON.

Prof Gross for the introduction of white lead
and linseed oil in the treatment of burns 1t is
one of the very best applications which can be
used effectually excluding the air, and being
always grateful to the patient. In all cases, no
matter whether merely the skin or the deeper
structures are involved. white lead rubbed up
with linseed oil to the consistence Of paste or
paint, and placed on with brush, will be found
productive of great relief. There does not appear
80 be any risk from the constitutional influence
of the lead, though it has been suggested, to
counterfeit any tendency of this kind that the
patient should take occasionally little sulphate
of magnesia.- Medical and Surgical Reporter.
The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1867-10-12

In regard to the treatment Of burns there il y
great diversity of opinion, scarcely any two sur.
seons agreeing rs 20 tha remedies. All of them
are doubtless valuable, but there is one which
has great reputation, carron oil, limewater and
hnseed oil. The great objection to it is It, often.
