Earth for Flesh wounds.

The use of earth as dressing for flesh
wounds is one of the greatest modern scien-
tific discoveries. A letter recently published,
by George Z. Waring, Jr., makes public his
experience in the matter in the Philadelphia
Hospital. He says that during recent visit
there he saw seven cases, which he describes
at length, from which we extract the fol-
lowing: -
"There was lying in the ward patient
suffering from very severe compound frac-
ture of the lower leg. The wound was in
an unhealthy condition, and its exudations,
amounting to a pint in "a hours, were SO
offensive as TO cause sickening and even
dangerous stem ch, that the excellent venti-
laii0n of the ward and the use of the usual
disinfectants were hardly able even to miti-
gate. 1t occurred to Dr. Hewson to test the
power of dry earth to absorb this odor, as il
had that of excrement. The effect was magi-
cal. Not only was the ofIensiyeness entirely
overcome, but the effect on the character of
the wound itself was such as no previous
treatment had been able to compass. The
suppuration was, within few days, so re-
duced that the daily dressing Of single half
pint of earth was not even saturated the
edges of the flesh wound lost their inflamed
character; the intense pain of the sore was
entirely relieved, and a healthy granulation
has ensued.
A railroad brakeman whose hand was
year and n half ago crushed between the
coupling heads of two cars, and who has
never been free from pain, and seldom from

Mr.. A. II. Hood, of Lancaster, Pa, has
written IA letter to the Religious Telegraph
in reference to the charges of immortality
that have been brought against the character
of the late Thaddsus Stevens. After pre-
missing that, owing TO his bitter hostility to
Freemasonry and TO slavery, Mr.. Stevens
was fiercely and undescrvedly assailed, but
that his innate sense of dignity caused him
to let the ISLANDERS pass unnoiiced, Mr.. Hood
says
From lSi2 10 Sjj was n near neighbor
OF Mr.. Stevens, and KNEW MS much Of his
household affairs rs any one not a member
of the family could know. From that time
TO the day he left the last time for Washing
ton, though Kot living so near him, was
still one of his most intimate acquaintances.
In all that time never saw n circumstance
which would go to show that any improper
relation existed between him and the person
who kept his house. On the contrary,
have noticed circumstances which would go
far to negative such an idea. The whole
story rests on nothing but suspicion. No
person, living or dead, except the parties
charged, can affirm it as a fact. Nothing is
known concerning it, and nothing but folly
or malice can discuss it as fact well known.

and serene confidence in the spirited, hand
some, and graceful lady who is TO be the
u istress of this mansion under General
Graat. Her education, parentage, and SO
cial opportunities have abundantly qualified
her to grace the White House. Her father,
MIR; Dent, was the proprietor of an estate
and home comparable with any between
New Orleans and st. Louis, In those days
when that part of the world contained the
gentleman planter par excellence. He
spared no generous pains to make his boys

blameless modesty, and republican woman

Her care of her children whom she teach

the domestic and religious influence she cx-

naturally graceful and stately figure, has
passed the gauntlet of the most lnvidious
criticism. 1t is with more reason than the
high estimate of his high sagacity that peo-

OUR NEW PRESIDENTS AD-
DR b'Nt

IJII GISI.
President Grants Inaugural is so excellent
that it needs no culogy. 1t is so brief and
succinct, that editorial comments must of
necessity have the same character. To us,
as to the great majority of the people, it is
perfectly and entirely satisfactory. There
is no discordant note in it, no disturbing ele-
ment.
1t is honest and hgh-toned, MS that por-
ton referring to the finances especially
proves; it is decided and self-respectful, par
ticularly in the paragraph on foreign affairs !;
it is philanthropic and Christian, in its re-
ference to the Indians; it is patriotic and
statesmanlike, in its clear and unmist akabe
views on the Suffrage it is radical, thorough,
and caddid, as political address it is firm,
and positive, as the announcement of the
National Executive; and it is truthful and
prayerful, in its desire for a peaceful and
happy Republic.
From the time we first advocated the cleo
aion OF General Grant to the Presidency,
i'm June, 1867, till now, we have never
doubted his character, never feared that he
would fail to fulfil the expectations of his
friends. We have represented him as in
favor of measures which, in our view, en-
bodied thorough Republicanism, and radical
craftsmanship. Time has more and more
proven that we did not misrepresent him.
Upon every great occasion when his charac-
ter was put to the test, he has come out
honorably and gloriously. Last of all, is
this great initial Address, announcing his
vciws on every important public question,
and foreshadowing the conduct of his Ad-
ministration. No President can stand on a
stronger platform than that of Honesty,
Economy, Justice, and Equal Rights! God
bless the new Administration.

RELIGIOUS TOPICS.

REV. j. +. w. Ware of Baltimore,
preached last Sunday evening, at the Boston
Theatre, taking his text from the parable OF
the Prodigal Son.
1t is stated that the number of persons
who during the last year have left the
Church of England for the Church of Rome
is between 9, 100 and 1900. Among these
are two peers, nineteen English clergymen,
and seven or eight university graduates.
Intelligence has been received respect
ing the Quaker missionaries in Madagascar
upto November 1865. Mr.. J. 8. Sewell Is
about to undertake the care of school for
which building is being erected about the
centre of Antanarivo; the cost being de-
iiayed by subscriptions among Friends in
England
The Catholics have in China "a missions,
In charge of 10 bishops and five projects, of
different pationalilies Italian, French,
Spanish and Belgian. Each miss on has
from to 20 missionaries, and from 20OO to
10000 native converts, and some Of the mis-
sions have colleges, schools, asylums and
printing offices.
Rev. Henry Ward Bceoher was in his
pulpit, last Sunday. as usual, aud preached
on the moral qualities in relation to the af.
fairs OF life. There are four simple elements,
hS suius tApIltnCcS. lueSc
are-truth, honesty, fidelity and purity. BY
honesty was meant righteous and equitable
dealing between man and man. Truth was
the inward love of and a disposition of the
truth OF facts and relations just as they are in
all our representations among men. A right
eous man is one who acts in this life on these
four qualities. The character of man is de-
termined by custom with regard to these four
qualities of truth, honesty, fidelity and purity
The counterpart Of these qualities stamp the
unrighteous man. II a man is dishonest se-
cretly or occasionally when occasion requires
il, such will be his reputation among his fel-
low-men. There are thousands of men hold
ing high positions in society of whom their
fellow men will say, if their opinions were
asked, that they are worth watching. The
rarest thing in life is an honest, trustworthy,
competent mana man on whom you can i'm
plicitly trust in all things. In applying his
discourse he urged mothers IT, bring up their
children to love and obey these principles, for
they will support them in the battle of life
and win the strength and favor of God
