Dry Earth Treatment Of Wounds and
Sores. .t-f H- q

In September, negro had his face
severely burned by the explosion of 9
can of powder, containing about hall
pint, which he was carrying in his
hand. The accident occurred on
Monday; next day his entire face was
one running sore, and SO much swollen
that it was impossible to distinguish q
feature. 1 suggested that it should be
dressed two or three times q day with
DIM sifted earth. On Thursday, when
again visited, the Inflammation had en-
tirely subsidized, his eyes were open;
all pain and discharge gone; and
within the week he was entirely cured.
Another laborer sliced his fingers
with reaping hook, and applied a
plaster, which caused suppuration.
By my advice, he tried dry earth; and
in a few days, his hand was as well as
ever.
The third trial was on a mule, which
had its leg cut with an axe. The
wound was about six inches long, by
three iHchces wide; having found the
earth treatment SO beneficial in the
other cases, it was again tried and
proved a perfect success. The wound
healed entirely, in three days from the
first application. 4.
The above cures may seem exagger-
ated; but I must say that no one was
SO much astonished as myself; and a
faithful trial of the same application
will convince the most skeptical OF
your readers. VIII any one who may
try it, in similar cases, be kind enough
to report their success flor there is no

Chain Cables.

At the beginning of this century
hempen cables were also wholly used
for rigging vessels. They so often
parted when relied on, however, that
a naval surgeon, Mr.. Slater, patented
in 1SOS, a plan for holding anchors
by chains. In ISL. the vessel Pene-
Iope, Capt. Brown, 400 tons burden,
made a four months voyage from
England to the West Indies with
chains instead of the usual cordage
1t was found that the chain only wore
itself bright by rubbing in the rocky
bottom where cordage would be cut
to pieces and that by reason of its
greater weight it curved more in the
water than hempen cables, which
commonly run straight from the YES
sci TO the anchor. This greater cur
Nature makes all strains come much
more slowly and gently on cable of
chain, which is thus far less likely TO
part than those made of other mate
rial. 1t can also lay hold on and
wind round rocks and resist side
strains. Being of rod iron formed
into elliptical links, it resists a strain
with the power of two rods, and does
not stretch more than one. Since
1911, this kind of cable has supplant-
ed all others for mooring purposes.
1t is much the least bulky and the
most pliable; hence it is slowed in
less space and can be handled more
readily. The largest size is known
as ''sheet anchor cable" used at sea +:
the next is called 'stream anchor
cable,n and is employed in rivers. |
About every five yards bolt and |
shackle are introduced to enable por-
tons of the chain to be removed. To |
use cheap iron in the manufacture of
these articles is almost a crime; for |
il risks human life and property, even |
in fair weather. This manufacture |
is conducted TO but a limited extent
i'm the United States.

Minister'S Salaries in New York.

Without intending to puff, / may
say that the World Almanac, for 1877
is one of the most valuable complia-
tons of facts and statistics ever issued
in New York. One feature that is
entirely new is table of the various
churches, their value and cOngrega-
tional capacity, and the salaries paid
TO the ministers. The whole number
of churches is $40: their valuation is
S41, 10000, and their capacity is
292, 200. Including the Catholic priest
hood mot given in the table, the
whole number of clergymen in New
York is probably six hundred. The
lowest salary paid to minister is
$500, and only one is employed at
that low figure. The average salary
appears to be about S3,000-not in
Guiding Catholic priests, who receive
each about 500. The highest salaries
are paid 10y the Episcopal Church;
DIR. Morgan Dix, of Trinity, receives
Sl2, 200, and DIR. Potter, of Grace, the
same amount. Doctors Montgomery,
Morgan, TrestOn and Swope, of the
Incarnation, st. Thomas, Trinity
Chapel, respectively, receive each
$4,000. AS Trinity owns some $50
OO0, 900 worth of property, it can afford
to pay good salaries. The value of
Trinity Church itself is 81, 500, 600 and
that of Grace Church is 81 Isl, 900.
Several Episcopal ministers receive
from 81, 900 to ZOO and only a few
are so low on the list as 81 900.
Salaries in the Presbyterian Church
also rate high, though not up to the
Episcopal. DR.. Gardiner Springs,
now past his eightieth year, believe,
is about the best paid, his salary be-
ing $4,000. Ten receive 5000 each,
two $4,000, and the remainder from
81, 900 (only three at that rate) to
"a, 900. The whole number of Pres
byterian ministers is 40, to which
may be added II United Presbyterian
and Reformed Presbyterian. The
highest salary in the Methodist Epis-
copal church is 5000, and the aver
age is not over s., 500. There are five
Congregational churches, and the
highest salary is Sc, 600. The Reform
ed Dutch churches number 20, and
the highest salary is $1,000, the aver
age being about $1,000. There are
four Unitarian churches. DIR. Bel
lows, pastor of one, is paid 200, and
DIR. Hepworth, who lately seeded,
received $4,000. The Universalist
churches are five in number, and the
highest salary (S5, 00O is paid to DIR.
Chaplin. These few figures will give
you an idea of how ministers are
remunerated in New York. As
rule they have no reason to complain.

not to be satisfied with the proportions

do not exhibit anything like the full

Philadelphia, for instance, the other

Southern cities, moreover, the figures
are still more incomplete. There, the
Presbyterian strength is with our
brethren of the Southern Assembly.
We are, however, Gin the Northern

Presbyterian denomination; and we
should by no means be contented with
having in Newark one Presbyterian

which is concentrated in our congre-

Lassitude and Debility.

The relaxation OF nervous energy which
creates an indisposition to physical or men
tai effort, so strong as almost to amount to
positive inability, and which we term lassi-
tude, proceeds from a variety of causes.
The principal of these are constitutional
debility, heat of the atmosphere, coupled
with humidity, climatic changes, and the
physical prostration consequent upon a
long illness. But whatever the cause, 1t
must be perfectly clear that II the nervous
system is unduIy relaxed, something is re-
quired to brace 1t up. That something is

that the Bitters will not only rehabilftate
the physique, when shattered and wasted

ically, actually compensate the constitu-
tionally feeble frame for its deficiency of
strength, and by enfusiug new life into a
weak system, endow 1t with the health and
