WALTER SCoTT's Two SERMoNs.-About
two months after the battle of Waterloo Scott
made visit to Paris, where he was received
with distinction by the British officers, and was
introduced to the car of Russia, who noticing
his limp, mstoOk him for a wounded soldier,
and asked where he got his hurt. While on his
way to tile French capital, he stopped at Water
loo, and examined the field closely, with view
of making it the subject of volume. Here he
found a valuable guide in Major Pryse Gordon,
British hait-pay officer, who happened then to
be living at Brussels. The kindness of Major
Gordon made deep impression on the author,
who in a few years was enabled to make a
valuable return. Major Gordon had an intelli-
gent son who desired to enter the pulpit of
the kirk of Scotland. He studied for that
purpose, but was attacked with deafness
which impaired his prospect. Some years SUBJ
Sequently, young Gordon sent to Sir Walter a
few Waterloo relics as a souvenir of their first
acquaintance, and was in return invited to Alb
botstord. Sir Walter assisted him with money
and advice, and at last the probatoner was IL
censed to preach by the presbytery of Aberdeen
His deafness, however, eventually prevented his
entering the pastoral work. At that time of un-
certainty, Sir Walter gave him employment as
amanuenSs, in which service he was very eff
cient. While thus engaged he was observed to
be in a very depressed frame, and on inquiry he
Informed the author that the presbytery had re-
quired him to produce, by specified time, two
sermons, (which were to be submitted to that
DOuY. Tic auueu tnaG the mental conflict arising
from a sense of his unfitnesS for clerical
life, owing to his infrmity, had so reduced his
powers that he was utterly unable to write. His
statement was accompanied with tears, and
Scotts sympathy was so moved that he replied:
go on with your regular task, and will write
for you a couple of sermons that shall pass mus
ter at Aberdeen" The next morning Sir Wal
ter handed the young man the two sermons.
Gordon thanked the author, but he had come to
the very proper conclusion that it would not be
right for him to use another mans productions.
Hence he rallied his powers, and got up pair of
religious discourses. His deafness, however,
prevented him from offering them, and he aban-
doned the hope of becoming preacher, accept
ing aclerkship under the government in London.
Three years afterwards Gordon became embar-
raised, and being in financial extremity he
wrote TO Sir Walter. asking permission to pub
llsh that very brace of sermons which the latter
had written for him. Sir Walter at once con-
scented on condition that it should be said that
they had been written to oblige young friend
and also that his name should not appear on
the title, although their authorship was ayowed.
On receiving the favorable reply, Gordon sub.
mtted the discourses TO Colburn, the publisher,
who gave him ESQ for the copyright. This
overjoyed the poor clerk, for it exceeded his
debt by ESQ, which, of course, came into his
pocket as surplus.

CHLoRALUM-The new antiseptic commend
ed by Prof. Gamgee, and known rs chlOralum
bids fair to be of much value in its applications
in domestic economy and in medicine The adj
vantages claimed are the possession of antiSep-
tic qualities equal to those of any other sub
stance; while used in moderation it is entirely
free from smell, from unpleasant fumes, has no
disagreeable taste, and is without any irritant
or poisonous qualities. According to Professor
Gamgee, by its use as an antiSeptc, rawhide,
meat and other animal substances, immersed
in a solution Of 1.O3O to .04O, specific gravity
will be preserved perfectly for an indefinite pc
Rod of time, and what is still more to the pur-
pose will not be attacked by insects after being
removed from the solution. Fish, slightly
tainted, when immersed RECEIVERS its freshness
of appearance and becomes firm and palatabe.
In some instances, fresh fish, such as salmon,
when caught are dipped in the solution, and at-
| ter Il passage of several days, without ice, TO
| London, in the summer season, were found to
| be entirely eatable. The substance is suggested
as an aid in drying cod on the coast of Newfound-
| land and elsewhere, as thereby an immense
| mass of fish that are now rejected could be
| readily preserved. The offal of cod and mack
erel fisheries which is now thrown overheard
could be preserved by this substance as long as
might be required, and then carried on shore to
be converted into one or the other of the various
forms of fish guano.
For disinfecting purposes q solution varying
from 1.006 to .010 is sufficiently strong to an
swcr the desired object, stronger solutions being
usually unnecessary, and imparting disagree
able smell The solid matter of sewage is said
to be precipitated more rapidly by this sub
stance than by the use of the persalt of iron, and
the odor disappears entirely. The use of chOra-
lum in any epidemic, the cattle plague or other
contagious diseases, including the cpizootics, is
| indicated by the author of the communication.
| Finally, it is recommended for the treatment of
wounds, erysipelas, gaugrene, and various con-
ta9ious and infiammatory diseases. 1t may also
be used for the purpose of immersng the linen
of patients before removing it from the sick
chamber. For the publication Of water-closets
tits said to have no equal in any of the prepare
tons hitherto recommended, and has also the
advantage over nearly all the rest of being free
from an offensive OdOr.
