COmmOn-slZeQ pegglng aWl had been
thrust through q piece Of solid leather,
retaining its r0undnes5 for several
days. There have been about ten
that have made their way through
the skin. 1 attempted to kill them
under the skin by dividing it with my
lancet and falling to get out but one
half Of the worm, the part inhamed
very much and presented the appear
ance Of eresipelatOus Inflammation;
the others killed By pressure resulted
about as the former, but both yielding
TO the common treatment for local iu-
Illumination, p0uitices, etc.
In being more particular in describ-
ing this animal, i will tell you how
one Of them came TO the surface: it
c0mmenceda at the external ear, giving
most intense pain, so much so i was
compelled to use large doses Of NOR
phine; in the course Of six hours it
left that place and Travelled along in
the direction Of the fO-ehe8d, passing
over the temporal artery near the eye;
then it gave great pain, finally making
its way under the scalp, not far from
the edge Of the hair, it made its ap-
pearance in a tumOF about the size Of
a hens egg, covered with blood and
puSs.
The worm is about one inch to one
and a quarter inches long and about
the size Of a large brOOm-straW, look
ing very much like the fish bate,
commonly called sawyer, that we find
under firm bark of decayed trees.
The patient is a lady about twenty
three years old, fair complexion,
mother Of three children, constitution
very good, no scrOfulOus tUmOr in the
family. If the treatment proves sue
CessfuI I viii give it to you soon.

WORMS.
A Very Remarkable Case Of EOrms-A
Woman BslHg Osyoared by Them.

From the Meridian ,NIiss.) Gazette.J
We have received the following de.
scriptiOn of a remarkable case in New
ton county. DR.. Hughs has sent
specimens of the worms to Drs. Gill
more and Anderson, of Mobile, but
has not yet heard from them. The
case is interesting and demands the
attention Of the profession, as being
a repetition OF HerOd's awful malady:
SymptOms-The first sensation is q
creeping feeling under the skin pro-
ducing a very unpleasant tickling;
they commence at any part Of the
body, from the head to the feet, and
whenever one is felt to move, there is
no rest for the worm nor patient until
it makes its way through the Skin, and
when he gets thrOuga only lives long
enough to prove that it is an animal,
making a few efforts to crawl after il
gets through the skin, and in a few
moments there is no evidence of life,
giving US no chance to find out the
best plan for killing the animal while
under the skin. While in the flesh it
seems to be strong, with greatlOcOmO-
tive power, travelling from place to
place under the skin at the rate of
from four to six inches Der hour, at all
times seeming to be hunting a place
to get through to the surface. When
ever it makes an effort to come
through, it produces very keen pain,
like the sting Of a poisonous insect; it
very often makes the effort co come
through, and after giving consider
able pain he removes to some other
part, as though it was hunting ar
easier place for his exit.
They can be felt to crawl under the
skin as they go from place to place, as
sensibly as a fly can be felt to crawl
over the face; whenever they come.
or attempt to come through the skin.
they produce intense pain, redness and
swelling, and a tumOr forms from the
size Of a hens egg to that Of a teacup,
and in the course Of from four to six
hours it either comes out or removes
to some other part. Some of the
places suppUrate, and it comes cut
covered in flesh; others make their
appearance covered in blood, the latter
the most pain-they have
visited almost every part of the BODY.
And nothing that has been done as
yet, seems to give any relief, or stop
their propagation.
The places Wheret they come through /
the skin seem to be Obstinate IN heal
The first q cane through about
twelve days ago, an6 TIE place is not

up his editorial space, without regard
to the interest he may impart to his
readers, has mistaken his vocation, and
we are rather inclined to think that
the divine who breaches merely to
consume his allotted hour has
mistaken his calling. +
"If a father has a weak and sickly
son he is apt to imagine that he can

to college, and an effort is made to
make something out of him that God
never intended. Young men who

else are given the charitable scholar

ar. WashbuFRs and tbs Late Pres
iteal Lopez.

General NJ. T. Mc1TahOn having
been censured in print by Mr.. @. A.
Washburne for having accorded pro-
lection to the Legitimate children Of
President Lopez while Mcmahon was
in authority In Paraguay, retOrts in a
letter to the New York Post that he
did not think it necessary to demand
marriage certificates when helpless
children Of tender years we're pre-
sented to the shelter Of the legation,
and says:
The same protection was offered to
other children than those Of the Pres
ident, and to some who did not bear
their fathers name. Among the lat
ter I may mention, merely as a mat
ter Of interest, q little one of two or
three years, which was brought to my
house a few days after, almost naked,
and presented as the child OF MIR.
Charles A. WashbUrue. The state
ment Of the mother, a Paraguayan
woman of the poorest class, was
vOuched for by two worthy gentle
men, Intimate friends Of Mr.. Wash
burne, who were present on the Occa-
sion, and who undertook, I believe,
to explain to her that in succeeding to
the mission I did not inherit all the
responsibilities Of my predecessor.
The child's birth or pareutage was Of
little interest to me then, and is Of
less now; but certainly was ready to
protect its lite, if need be, in the con-
fusion of battle or defeat. Nh. Wash
burne is not unaware of this cireUm-
stance, for I mentioned it to him in
London a year ago. On that occasion
he simply inquired If 1 thought the
mother a pretty woman. I replied
that I did not, and the subject was
dropped. You viii perceive from
this statement that Mr.. Washburne's
Indignation on the subject Of the pro-
lection given to LOpez's children Is
somewhat affected.
With respect, your Obedient servant,

OF the causes Of complaint or mer-
its in controversy, pro and con, which
brought about the assault on an ed
itOr Of the AUal0nche on Friday, we
may not be particularly advised, and
do not feel it incumbent on Us to pro-
nOunce. We admit the obligation of
the press to withhold publication of
names Of individuals, except when
necessary as a report Of criminal pro-
ceedings, or for the purpose Of stimu-
Iating the action OF the people toward
impartial Justice and with intent for
the public good. But we deny that
when this intent exists, an editor,
acting in good faith, is or should be
held responsible for his productions,
when confined to the elimination and
exposition Of facts necessary to be
known and condemned. Without
some liberty Ill this respect, the
press cannot be relied on as the
vigilant or efficient sentinel
for public or private protection,
or good in any form. For the use OF
such liberty, whatever may be our
rivalries, sntsgonisms or anGpathies,
as members Of the press. it is but
right we should stand together. And
the views Of the AU05agche, as ex-
pressed yesterday morning, are heart
lily Endorsed by the APPEAL. Let
him who undertakes to dictate to the
press take warning hereafter that an
.Ofense against one is an equal Ofense
as tOaIl.

The Pulpit and the Press.

In the course of an editorial on
"Editors and Divines," the Balti-
more american says:
I'VE admit that the press has the
advantage Of the pulpit, inasmuch as
however stupid may be its editorials,
il has, or should have, all the stirring
news of the day to compensate for the
dizziness of its utterances. The pull
pit, on the other hand, if il should
not furnish a discourse that is both
interesting and instructive, provides
nothing to save the pew from nod
ding and Winkiug at the preacher.
1t would not be in order to take uD a
book to read, or to get up and escape
the infection by a retreat. The reader
can throw down the newspaper when
it fails to interest him, but the pew
must hold on manfully to the end
and keep awake 8s best he NAV.
Human nature cannot stand everv-
thing, and which Of our readers can
say he has not at times, while listen
ing to a dull and mOnOtonOus repeti-
ton of Christian truths, that he has
heard better ~eXpOunded fifty times be-
fore, felt it impossible to resist the
influence of sleep, and almost ierked
his neck aWry in his efforts to keep
his head in a steady position? We
can 60 to a place Of amusement and
sit three or four hours in one position
without any feeling Of ~drOWsiness, be-
cause the mind is deeply interested,
but one hour Of a dull and spiritIess
sermon will test the somnOlency Of
the best Of US. Then again the press,
when it has nothing to say that
is regarded Of sufficient interest
to write about, can FIJI up its
space with selections from the
writings Of others. Rather than
publish duh and spiritIess ed
i~tOrials, the intelligent and expert
eneed editor regards it as much the
wisest course to say nothing editorial
ly. And here comes the point which
we wish to make with the clergy,
whether it would not be better for
them, when they feel particularly dull
and stupid, to take a book from their
library and read to their eongrega-
some one Of the eloquent and
sermons that can be found there.
The editor who writes merely to dn

continued under the other. Mr.. Linc0ln's
inaugural was IN the very spirit Of Presl-
dent B~uchanan's conduct. Mr.. Seward,
aDetted by General Scott, intrigued for
the abandonment of Fort Sumter, al
though President Buchanan had been
resOlute and persistent in his determine
ton to hold it. The new administration
adopted no new measures until the FIR
ing upon Sumter aroused and electri-
fed the country. Mr.. Lincoln is just as
open TO accusations of trsachery as was
Mr.. Buchanan during the last two
months Of his administration, when
Stanton was setting the spy and deceiv-
ing both the Cabinet and the RepUbh-
cans-the administration by pretended
zeal for all its measures and opinions
and the Republicans by bearing false
witness against the men who gave hlm
their confidence.
MIR. Black, in his last article, nails
many falsehoOds to the counter; but its
chief interest consists in the dsmning
light &c sheds upon the character Of stan
ton. If Stanton had died before be was
made Secretary of War there could not
be two opinions respecting his disgrace
ful dupliCity and baseuess. He was an
energetic and INSCRIPTIONS administra-
tor, and was so fully supported by the
passions of the people in that passionate
era, that they would willingly ignore or
c0nd0ne the lOsthsOme treaChery OF his
previous conduct. But history viii give
its final verdict on the sound maxim,
