BIsculr LUXURY FOR ALL.-The popu
lar notion that people suffering from dyspep-
STA or predisposed TO that disease, should
not eat biscuit, has grown out Of the fact
that the common Saleratus has been used in
the making Of such biscuit. And it was
right; the article is mischievous. But light
and healthy biscuit, such as dyspeptic peo-
pie may eat with impunity and with positive
benefit, are made from D. 3. De land &
Co.'s Best Chemical .Saleratus. Physicians
admit this.

THE REVIVAL,

During the past week the union meetings
have been steadily increasing in attendance
and interest. We have not been able TO
learn the number Of conversions. Ii is now
thought the work will extend until it may
properly be termed general revival.
We regret that it has been deemed ad,
yisable by ut least one individual to employ
the occasion Of large public revival meet.
lug to drag in the public press and
to impugn its motives in giving
faithful RECORD Of passing events; and not
only this, but to convey false impression
with reference to what was really reported.
We can feel comparatively calm over the
hings and diatribcs Of a political enemy :
but we cannot view with eqnanimity such
violation Of good taste and christian princi-
pies as was presented in the representation
that we had falsely reported that the meet
ings we're declining in interest, coupled with
the imputation that such report sptang from
feeling Of antagonism TO the meetings.
In this connection we reproduce our report
Of last week for the purpose Of showing how
groundIess was the charge made against us.
We must be permitted to remark that the
stumbling blocks in the way Of successful
revival are invariably those christians whose
words and acts belle their profession. Here
is what we stated last week, all Of which
was literally and strictly true:
:" The revival meetings continue to be
well attended. Several persons have been
converted since our last report. Although
the prospects for ~ extensive revival are
not as favorable as could be desired, yet the
meetings will doubtless continue for some
time yet. TO day TUESDAY was set apart
as day Of fasting and prayer. Services
haye been held in the Baptist church, fore
noon, afternoon and evening"

WENDELL PnrLLrps.-The decision Of the
executive committee of the Lyceum to en-
ploy this great orator to deliver his lecture
upon The Lost Arts" proves SO distaste,
to the members of the Lyceum and to the
masses Of the people generally that the COM
mi,tee has decided to give the lecturer full dis
erection to choose subjects. The public wish
to hear him upon the great question Of to
day-they rant to hear Wendell Philiips

portunity. Tame thunderbolt and it scar

HrrcIIssoy CoScEaT.--The Concert of
the Hutchinson tribe Of john given at
Morse's Hall on Thursday last was a sue.
cess in everything but the attendance, which
was doubtless affected very materially by the
revival meetings. As an affecting ballad
singer John Hutchinson has but few super.
iors; nor is he often equaled as humorist.
His performance throughout afforded great
delight to those who were present.
Mr.. Hutchinson thought it rather hard TO
be compelled to pay city license Of = for
the privilege of singing, and VIC perfectly
agree with him. Such chaste and artistic
performances as those given by the Hutch
inson's, the Thompson & Parkhurst troupe,
and others which we might mention, are a
positive advantage to any community, serv-
ing as they do TO elevate and refine public
taste, and affording that pleasure which in
variably makes men better. To charge a
license for such performance is just as
ridiculous and preposterous as would be a
license for school. We trust our Coun.
ell will modify the ordinance relating to this
subject in such way as TO leave some dis.
erection on the part Of the city authorities
All transient auetioneers, prize concerts, cir.
cuses and performances Of that character
should be made to pay heavy license, but
those performances whose whole tendency i,
to refine society ought certainly to be en-
couraged instead Of fined.
